Chapter 19 part 3 discussion

[Cutting-T]

Now I can finally say the reason this one was so long is because I didn't want to spend any more time away from the tower, but we needed every second to wrap up the events at the colony for it all to make sense.

I totally agree, I thought that the colony was getting a tiny bit stale, and tha tnew plot develpment meant that the group could get out quickly without it feeling like a forced moment while it leaves the door open for more interesting events. I literally felt like someone arriving home from an 8 hour car-trip from holiday when they got back, and Michael's 'we're home' cemented that feeling, awesome episode, thanks to all the crew and Kc!

Sadly we will never find out Marcus' motivations for keeping Michael alive, or will we?

BTW: I love all the small details.

Gatekeeper: "What, they only locked him up for what he did?"

Pegs: "They locked him up for only making a radio call?"

I liked it a lot how the tower was (sort of) fine when they got back, and that we heard some familiar voices before the episode ended, however, how much of a hero is Michael? Will he want to go back and try and save all those people from the oppression of the Gatekeeper? The anticipation kills...

I like Datu too, I actually got a little misty eyed when he realized that Hope was Samantha's daughter. Yeah, I'm lame like that.

Victor was a quick convert , he seems a little fishy. something might be up with him helping them escape? great episode.

[Ghoul]

Awesome episode, I knew the name of the Chapter was a good clue in this one, I was just hoping for a more positive reaction

I think this is one of my favorite chapters so far, now let's hope that vehicle didn't have some kind of tracking device

About Ra1th's theory of a Maller/Tower teamup....what do you think about a potential Maller/Colony team up? Gatekeeper seems to have the type of personality that would be attractive to Durai for any and all of his needs. Perhaps we're headed to a Colony/Maller team up against the Tower. After all, Michael et al have burned both groups of people pretty badly.

The hardest thing to know now is how far Gatekeeper will take the Colony away from Marcus' rules and leadership. Ask me before Chapter 19, there's no way in hell is there any chance the Colony mobilized and went North looking for trouble. But something is obviously wrong with Gatekeepers head and he might take a more offensive and proactive stance than Marcus did.

If they really have no ammo left, then odds are high they will be furious.
If they head North it will be to spill blood.

Maller/Colony?
Oh let's hope not...

At least 2 weeks til we hear why Liz got the boot, gonna be a long wait...

My favorite part yet. As a Musician, I have to say the music in this episode was unbelievable. really glad they got out of there. Cant wait for the next installment!

Honestly, it could be as simple as she just took the care of Saul way too seriously and tried to do something she knew she wasn't supposed to do.

I wonder if she went crawling to the Mallers since those were the only other group she would have known about. When banished by Burt, do you get any survival supplies? A gun and some ammo? Are you left to figure it out on your own? Hmmmmmmmm.......

[Adventureless_Hero]

I don't believe that Lizzy would have ever been the mole back during the time of the party since she had no real motives to contact the Mallers. But now with Saul being sick, she may have felt that MPK weren't coming back. She could have contacted the Mallers in hopes of attaining medical supplies or some help, maybe trying to work out a trade (remember Latch and Scratch wanted Lizzie in trade for the fuel truck). It doesn't seem unlikely that in desperate times she'd do anything to keep Saul alive. I don't think she could take the pain of losing someone again. Or it could be simple as she was hording food stuffs for Saul and got busted.

I don't think there is any reason for suspecting Victor of being more than what he seems; the guy was running for his life too and it was made pretty obvious that he wasn't happy living at the colony. Once he learned that Gatekeeper was going to take over, he realized that things were going to get worse than they already were. And yeah, I think he's got a bit of a thing going for Kelly, who by the way, is really pulling her own weight and then some! Kudos Kelly!

I do think that it's possible The Colony could learn of the Tower's whereabouts. Don't forget that Glenn helped Michael send out a radio broadcast to the tower, revealing the Tower's location somewhere to the North. If a reconisance team from the Colony ran into some of the Mallers I believe there may be a chance of an uneasy alliance forming between them to take out the tower. So we may see a reinforced army of Mallers vs. the Tower. Maybe.

Then there was that little prick of the ears by the doctor. She does seem to know Saul. I don't know if she was anxious to see him because he was injured or anxious because she knows a soldier by the name of Saul. Man, so much to talk about but I'm going to halt it right there.

They don't need Glenn to know the Tower is up North. Remember how quickly information passes throughout the Colony. Tanya found out they were from up North, therefore Marcus knew, therefore everyone there knows M/P/K were from L.A. They already knew the general direction before Michael tried to radio the Tower.
