LOL! I love these threads, especially concerning one of my "new" favorite characters, Victor. I was pretty much sold on me liking him and rooting for his survival when he and Saul were doing surviellance on the garden and he picked up "Lord of the Flies" to read. I was like, Oh, yes...people who read need to survive! That, and he's hilarious. Gotta love that sarcasm and deadpan way of his.

Do I believe he's CIA or some other such thing? I'm going out on a limb and going to say that I kind of don't want him to be subversive like that...I kind of like to think of him as a normal, hardworking guy working a few jobs (He says he was an insurance salesman "among other things"), going home, having a beer with some homemade enchiladas (those things are great!) and like reading a book and maybe watching a "football" game before going to bed. (That's football as in soccer, btw)

Then the proverbial shit hits the proverbial fan and he just goes into survival mode, he just makes up his mind that he's not going to die like this, and gets all badass. I also think that he probably just learned through observation how to avoid the zombies and learned that cologne is an effective way to throw those beasts off his scent long enough for a feasible escape (he was Recon, after all).

IMO, Victor is just a home-grown badass mutha****er. And there's nothing wrong with that. I think We're Alive already has plenty of secrets and conspiracies that still need to be unravelled and exposed.

But if I'm wrong...then that's okay too! That's part of the reason this show is so awesome
