Whoa, I was not trying to say Nik's a slacker by any means, just felt the perfect opening for a friendly jab! Intentions were all good, I appreciate all that Nik's done for WA and all it's fans!

Of course, they wouldn't necessarily know where to go next, unless they had radio contact with the Pelican.

One other place the survivors could find replacement Blackhawks, that S-Mart parking lot in Colorado at the "Evergreen turnoff by 70". That's where all the helicopters that survived Boulder landed. They'd need to bring fuel.

Forgot all about the S Mart....Great point, however I have to spread rep before giving you more of course...so.... +1 from me is coming your way at some point in the near future

I commented earlier about the SWAT Van leaving, but we don't know who left in it, or what happened to it since nothing was mentioned....I followed up saying "Everyone was accounted for".....but now that you say that, we heard nothing from Pete/Glenn....sooo maybe THEY left?

Don't think it could have been them. Wasn't Glenn just standing by right around the time someone stole the van from the phone call?

But we track the phone call, and it came from within the van?!?!

Sorry, could miss that joke.

Alright, but I thought Pete was in the gate area, where did he go? Wouldn't he have be open to an attack wait in there?

Touche sir, I keep associating the phone call with happening like hours before the attack because of the episode break, but you're prolly right on that one. But this doesn't clear Pete....and leaves me wondering where Glenn/Pete are amongst the reunion?

Ok I'm late to the party so here are my thoughts on the finale.

Great episode,

Thought we would have lost more than just Kimmet in this episode though. Seems like everyone made it out unharmed. Aside from Billy and his bigger sister. (RIP, KC that was so harsh lol)
Loved Datu's reaction to hearing there is C4 on the chopper.
Wonder what CODI will eventually be used for.
The bohemoth seemed rather easy to take down today than in times past. But then again we had more firepower. Looks like it is back to the drawing board for Ink.
I feel so bad for Puck and the other soldier from Irwin, apparently they never made any friends worth saving and bringing to LA. Anyone else notice that lol?
I must have been out of it because when Vic took Lizzy aside and said lets not say anything, deserves to know about him, my initial thought was Victor is the father! ... than I remembered Angel

All in all a good episode, glad we didn't loose anyone. Keep an eye out for CJ to die in episode 1 next year, either by loss of blood or apparent drug overdose from medication. Girl was loosing it.

and like I said earlier this year, the baby will be named after CJ ... what if they name him Conor John! And, and, and send him back in time! To stop Randy and Ink from doing this! And he uses the alias of Todd! oh man that'd be a Shamylan worthy twist.

I don't recall them ever going back to check on him either ha.

At the tower after the Arena rescue, we hear that TOWTM had some trouble understanding the instructions and putting in the door code. Then he also couldn't break down a simple door. He survived two 5.56 rounds to the chest but ran from a knife.

Now, some of that could have been deliberate - like testing to see what the Tower people had/were made of. But I'm not sure. That sounds different from how he was characterized at the other tower (Dunbar Apts) which happened before our Tower.

One thing that really perked my ears up was that in the post-finale show, there was a question about TWOTM/Pinstripes/Ink to where Kc said that his role in Season 4 would not be small and that we should "pay very close attention" to his parts in the 1st 3 seasons when we listen to them again.

Anyway, aside from making for a very short show, I'm also confused as to why TOWTM didn't just wipe out a bunch of humans himself.

This is exactly what keep asking myself over and over again. So Ink and his bunch is hunting down larger groups of people. He orchestrates ambushes and traps, commands large quantities of zombies - but he only kills the subordinates not those in charge. Moreover, and you are right here, too, he displays excelling performances at Dunbar tower and ambushing the mallers. Then, he underperforms at the Tower. Shall we call him now a strategic genius or rather a menace with exceptional physical abilities?

Bullethead: We lost more than just Kimmet. Nurse Britt is likely gone forever and ever. May she rest in (irradiated) peace.

I don't know that the Behemoth is easier to take down than before. Burt had to allow it to get really really REALLY close in order to shoot it's other eye out. Which is another point: Burt's actions wouldn't work against a perfectly normal healthy Behemoth. It would still be able to see out the other eye. Arrowhead was starting at a disadvantage. He also had to get his arm ripped off to help him bleed out before finally biting it. It still survived a pipe bomb, plus multiple small arms shots among an infection and an arrow in its eye. I'd rather take my chances on other types before a behemoth.
