Sidenote: Your signature remind me of the movie Twister: "There a cow. And there another cow. Nope, that the same cow."

One of my favorite movies haha. My sig was just a little Re-Write of Michael's favorite saying

The Newberry in question is south and east of Fort Irwin in Southern California. More than 1,000 miles from Boulder.

Oh! from Boulder. Ok. For a second there I thought you said 1,000 miles from Irwin. I was like, no it's 50... Nevermind.

or the fact that he's black. black people have more melanin in their skin which reflects sunlight, so he would be more suited to a sunnier, and warmer, environment than say a colder climate where it also tends to be cloudier, and where he would be more susceptible to sun deprivation based illness. on the reverse, us white folk can better live in places with a lot of cloud cover, because we have less skin pigment and absorb more sunlight, making better use of the time when the sun is actually out. germany, for my brief years there, was cloudy like, all the time, and also pretty cold. then again, some people just don't like the cold

Wouldn't Kimmet be court martial first, him not listening to his Intel Officer cause this whole mess. His Intel rep told him not to send the body to Boulder and he ignored him.

...when describing Saul, Michael says he came from the mountain division....couldn't handle the cold...

Don't forget that Saul is originally from Los Angeles. As a fellow Californian I can confirm that you can grow up here and never, ever experience truly cold weather. In my case I left California when I joined the Army and suffered during every winter I was away. Kentucky and Texas were bad. Germany was brutal. I could not have handled living in Buffalo, where the "Mountain Division" that Saul was assigned to is based.

As far as the weather at The Colony, it wouldn't be significantly different from the weather in Downtown LA.

As a former resident of the Great White Western NY I won't say our weather was insane, but I once was out mowing my lawn while a short hour drive away my girlfriend at the time who lived in Buffalo was buried under 6 feet of snow and had no power.

Does anyone think that Iriwin might get blowed up at some point and we will end up back in LA, where it all began? Michael goes and saves Datu and Hope. On their way back they are notified that Iriwn is getting overrun and Kimmet orders evac and detonation of Irwin. Kimmet stays behind to set off the nuke(because his daughter is dead, he has got nothing left). Michael stops at one of the checkpoints to rescue Tanya and low and behold Pegs and Kelly are there with Riley. They book it out of there with the Pelican back to LA, where the location of the sat phone call came from.

Mh. Not sure ... We have the nuke, we have plenty of Little Ones approaching ... At least it would not be too farfetched. But I am not sure if there is a real need for blasting Irwin anyway ...
About Kimmet ... Mh. Really hard to tell. I consider him being a person capable of putting a bullet into his head; but I am not so sure anymore. He is way too egoistic and wishywashy to play 'the honorable proud captain' with nuking Irwin while staying back there; more likely he would get away and ignite the big boom from the safe distance ... Still: it is hard to tell. I get no feeling for this character.

It is really hard to tell. On the Michael says he is done with Kimmet, on the another hand he feels responsable (at least to a certain degree) to the people arriving at Fort Irwin. In this situation, it depends on who is on the sat phone and if the remaining troops at Fort Irwin are able to deal with the zombies. But hell yeah, we will go back to LA, that is for sure.

However, if Kimmet orders the evacuation of Fort Irwin, where will everyone go? The colony? I doubt that it is able to support such a large group of new arrivals. I still do not get it why so many people think that the colony is a safe haven.

That's one of them (that was my "possibly" one I had thought of last night when I posted this question). But there's one huge one left.

The burt torture scene. I'm with you, nik, I think burt is going to die. Bricks is dead, and probably wouldn't tell all the gory details to a pregnant, emotional lizzie. So that leaves... scratch?
