Chapter 35-2 The End is Near

[LiamKerrington]

Maybe, if not probably, the whole The Family-thing was especially important regarding Angel and-slash-or his conflict with Scratch as well as the confrontation between Durai and Scratch; no time else The Family played a role. I guess this case is closed, no more The Family stuff.

But more family-stuff (broad understading of family) to come with three Tink-generations to come - Henry <-> Lizzy/ Saul <-> Tanya (/Burt) on one side and Datu <-> Hope on another AND maybe even Michael/Pegs <-> ? ...

Ok, I can't exactly search for the image here at work but my prediction for CJ is she will now be peg legged, BUT with a M16 equip with M203 a la Rose McGowan in the Grindhouse flick

all those in favor say !

Long time I did not comment.

I am so excited for this series, great drama. I believe we will see the colony and Irwin all falling and people scattering, season 4 will be about all for one scenarios, things so bad people betraying theirs to get to survive one more day... and if not this in KC I Trust (I should put that behind my bills and see who gets one of those)

also my wife is studding medicine and so far she told me the way CJ is now and the lack of proper care and treatment, that she is a goner (if in real life scenario)

to sos63. no but if you listen carfully somone says that everybody goes to play with her in her room (lady) and that Mr. whiskers stays in Pegs's room.

Skittles assessments have already proven to be wrong regarding behemoths. However, it could be said that normal biters don't go near behemoths. Advanced ones (like Randy/TOWTM) seem to be able to make them coexist with biters.

I'm going back to my Burt isn't going to kill Scratch thing. Him surviving this and bringing himself even with the house as it were put Burt's survival back in play to me. I think he isn't out of the woods yet, but its hard to see how he goes now with the expressed reason for not breaking under Scratch torture.

The next time we see the Mallers, it's not going to be good. Not for our heroes like you might believe, but most likely the Mallers. They are small, weak, and have no place to go. They have no supplies, no place to hide, and they lost their cozy way of life because Scratch can't keep her knife in her pants and out of CJs leg, and Bixby's throat. The Mallers seem to be ok when they have groups to steal from/terrorize. Without that, they may lack a focus. Their time in this world is dwindling, and the zombies return to the storyline is the proof to me.

I saw back in the thread somewhere someone saying the double attack being coordinated. Remember that Irwin's attack is coincidental and caused by one turner in a group of survivors. The survivors ran to safety and brought the zombies. The apparent Randy led attack, while also coincidental to Pete leading them to the colony, is an orchestrated attack. Remember that behemoths, smart ones etc are new down south. The colony up against opponents they've never faced.

Is that a concession of Burt's potential survival I hear?

.....boy am I gonna be eating those words in the next year.....

Anyways, yea, a few people have pointed out instances of skittles being wrong....I still think they'll be much like a caged beast, in which they listen to their 'master' (being Randy/Ink or the like) but in the heat of a battle...have the potential to attack their own kind (normal Z's) when let off the leash (so to speak)

Just wanted to make the observation. Again, this Probably-Randy-One-With-Markings (PROWM....yea, I said it) is a potential Behemoth Whisperer. Maybe it's like 15-20 behemoths just stampeding like wildebeests....Let's just hope they don't trample Mufasa

I can't accept that. Kc has stated that things are planned far in advance and from a storytelling perspective, it would invalidate so much that the story would not and could not feel complete without some closure. But the problem lies in that Scratch could show up and give a whole diatribe about her ring and the families and the rest of the characters would just shrug their shoulders and shoot her in the face.

I felt from the beginning that their was some sort of religious or mystical connection to the outbreak (and possible subtle hints could be in the characters names - Saul, Michael, John and perhaps it's a bit on the nose, but 'Angel' and some of the chapter titles) and frankly, the rapid mutations just aren't possible in purely scientific terms (as well as the fact that a schizophrenic serial killer suddenly has knowledge of advanced genetic engineering doesn't sit well with me), as rapid cellular changes on a macro level would be accompanied by intense heat and millions of calories burned in an instant.

My bets are hedged on Scratch having a personal connection with Ink - a family member perhaps?

EDIT: Gosh, it just hit me - even the name 'Scratch' is a clue. Scratch = devil (albeit a devil with a voice like finely spun silk).

What if he's right and wrong?

True, so what happen when the Ink group meets up with the Colony Zombies? Will they just fall in line?

This is probably a bad example but it will be like movie, "Predators" the new and old will crash.

just got to listen. damnit i hate scratch. she's a great character, but all i want to do is slice paper thin layers off of her, starting with her fingers and toes.

In some circles, that would be something of a love/hate relationship.
