Chapter 19-2 Discussion

[Zombiehead]

Nah, I don't see the Tower survivors fighting along side the Mallers. Thier alliance seems unbelievable to me. Sure Peggs made an attempt to reconcile with Scratch, but I don't see either parties wanting an alliance. The Mallers may come to the Tower with the guise of forming a team, but they would want nothing more than to scavenge what little the Tower has. The Tower survivors wouldn't be so stupid, especially with a proud, tough fellow like Burt in charge. No, I think Michael, Peggs, and Kelly are going to have to seek the help of friends they make inside the colony, or escape on thier own. But who knows? If I'm wrong and your predictions are right, you have my permission to say "I told you so."

Yes! Someone that agrees with me!

The Mallers have no reason thus far to help M/P/K or the Tower community. Even in the instance that they did, at the end of the scuffle, who gets to keep the doctor? The medical supplies? The guns? The food? Speaking of food, who gets to take care of the extra mouths to feed? At this point in the story, I can't see Scratch suddenly having a change of heart and saying "Thanks for giving me back my brother that you killed. I'll help you rescue the girl that killed him and split goods evenly." Even with a temporary alliance, the Maller's have shown they aren't the sharing type.

I can buy the idea which someone already mentioned that they could trick the Mallers into a fight with the Colony. The problem with that is innocent people would get caught up in the fray and probably lose valuable supplies in the process. People like Hope and maybe the Doctor could be killed in the crossfire unless M/P/K get to them first in the confusion. We don't know how fortified the Mallers actually are if they even play a part in this matter. I can speculate on Michael taking over the Colony as opposed to turning it into a warzone, but it's too early to tell since we don't know his fate yet. Victor showed that even though people aren't happy with the way things are, they can be fickle as soon as trouble strikes.

Michael needs to read Pegs' journal dangit!

There is only one solution, and that’s one giant bash where everything comes together.

Or just carry the action over into Season 3... as Season 1 did.
