Chapter 35-1

Tar Heel Fan: Is Scratch really as smart or as farsighted?
Witch_Doctor: Yeah, sure. The dots are connected easily. But what does this say about Scratch considering the events around her - Mallers and Family falling apart, Colony in Rebellion-mode, probably an attack from the outside, and still: she gets to where Burt is locked away? The explanation provided by clem131 makes sense; probably we'll never receive confirmation or disconfirmation ...

Why does she need to head to Burt anyhow? Does she know people from The Tower, beside Liz, are there?

I for one think it's time for UndeadSweeper to get an avatar. 299 posts without one?

If he doesn't get one by post 300, he gets this:

My guess would be to tie up the loose end. Burt isn't going to give her information anymore...well...ever....Scratch may have an idea that she is losing this battle against the Colony. Finish off what she needs to, and run away to fight another day.

Excellent choice Mr. Sweeper. Excellent choice.

I really don't think she cares for anything else other than killing Pegs. Yet, her affection for Lizzie's baby's welfare can go either way ( As a tool or as genuine sympathy ). It may look like she's flying blind with no plan but remember how she turned the tides on her own execution just minutes before this scene. Recognizing Saul is a sufficient cause for her to suspect that someone is heading to Burt but it is not a necessary cause. She can reach the same conclusion whether she recognized Saul or figured that Bricks told Lizzie about Burt after spilling the beans about the video tape. It may be a combination of the two, or she may know hat the Colony is under attack from the outside. With all hell breaking lose, this may be her only chance to find Pegs. She's not shown fear before. She's probably confident that she can manipulate whomever shows up; psychopaths are good at manipulation. (Yes, I've administered the psychopath test to Scratch. She's f..cked up)

Among her options: A) Risk losing control of the Colony & allies while capturing Pegs' friends, then try regaining control or allies. B) Contain and suppress the rebellions and risk Pegs' friends getting away.

There are certainly other options not mentioned but I think she is going to go for any option that has the LEAST likelihood of preventing her from finding Pegs.

@Witch_Doctor: It does not matter what Scratch will do next. She will do the right thing as always.

By the way, the promo shots are so fucking great. http://www.zombiepodcast.com/gallery...tos/?nggpage=4

And, Scratch somehow like a grown-up version of Pippi Longstocking. Weird. Great.

Astrid Lindgren would be so proud of Scratch

Where *I* think this is headed - I think that Ft. Irwin and the colony/mallers are going to come together next season. You cannot fight a war on two fronts (that line keeps swimming in my head) and a huge attack by Ink is the Deus Ex Machina needed to bring Scratch closer to Pegs, who will then either kill Scratch, or equally likely that they see how useless all of the fighting is.

...Or Pegs is dead and Scratch puts aside her anger and fights with Ft. Irwin/Boulder survivors and dies a tragic hero

[Deacon_Tyler]

...but make no mistake, I will be very upset if Scratch dies.
