I know I tend to see a conspiracy behind every bear crapping in the woods masked by the sound of one palm tree falling, but what Scratch says in Seaon three about why the other tower has to be found. Because what they might be. I just find it hard to believe that a group of prisoners is that fixated on another group of survivors after the death of billions of people because there might be a prison guard or a SWAT dude there.

There is so much in this story that we do not know. I do not know if KC is going to dole the bills out a few at a time or is going to have a make it rain episode. We better start stocking up on

I also question exactly what your saying. certain aspects of the story need a "suspension of disbelief" but...damn. I agree, of all the things to worry about..why some other group of survivors? I guess the question I have in relation to that is how would the mallers even know who is in "the other tower"? obviously they did not have a spy there otherwise they would have taken the place out before ink did. shit, for that matter how would they know the other tower even existed without knowing someone who ended up there? gotta say, the whole other tower/mallers storyline makes me head spin. circular logic abounds, here there be snakey dragons eating tails...

and drinking is a metaphor for....drinking. never look to deeply into references about booze...
Definitely agree with 7odd, love your posts Grog!
I don't know if I missed Scratch's quote about what they might be before, but now that you mention it, it does stand out.
I guess I filed Scratch/Durai/Maller interest in the Towers away as just survival. Obviously, multiple people had the idea that Tower would make a good place to buildup and hunker down or even do long term survival. The Mallers didn't have a great position in the Mall compared to the perceived benefit of the Towers, I guess.

Anway, Scratch's quote makes it sound more, deliberate, no, personal. Who would she or Durai (as the leaders/planners) want to go after personally at either Tower?

- Revenge for things that happened? Doesn't seem likely to me.

- Safety and survival? Possibly but what specifically? Did the Mallers know that the residents of one or both Towers were soldiers or LEO? Would that matter much to them?

- Family members? Could be. With the fierce loyalty that we are to assume Family members have, maybe Durai and/or Scratch are supposed to seek out other members. Maybe they know (how?) that one or more Family members are holed up in a big apartment building *somewhere* in the city and they figure they can impose and get in.

Not sure, but the wheels are turning on this now. Thanks for getting them going, Grog!
