Just thought of something else. Do I remember correctly that the actor for Skittles was originally someone else, and the new recordings made his voice more menacing/demented/creepy? Given the level of thought KC puts into details, it doesn't seem unreasonable to me that he was unhappy with Skittles sounding completely friendly. Then again, I don't think I heard the original audio, since I only started listening a couple weeks ago.

ADDENDUM: Yup. From the Skittles wiki page:

Skittles's voice actor changed between the original and remastered versions of the first season. While his lines and speech pattern remain the same, his voice is a little deeper and gives then a somewhat darker and more sinister effect.

From the Chapter 35 recap:



1. Was this bearded zombie identified as Randy? I don't recall that being the case, but the 35-3 summary is missing, so I can't consult that.
2. Isn't Skittles bearded?
3. We haven't seen Skittles in a while.
4. If Skittles was turned, he could have been tattooed by his zombie master, Ink/whatever-you-want-to-call-him.
5. What if Skittles was a zombie "familiar" all along and let Ink/whatever in intentionally?

Obviously, if the bearded zombie was identified as Randy, 1-4 are meaningless. However, I think 5 remains. It could explain why Skittles has survived so long on his own.

I'm still stuck on the idea the the bearded zombie is Randy. When Tanya was snatched in Chapter 23 Part 1, Michael calls out to Randy and describes him as a zombie with a brown scraggly beard. Also, Sean refers to Randy as on of the techies to be sent to the water works in Chapter 27 Part 2.
So Randy is some sort of a (1)technician (techie) and has a (2)beard.

In Chapter 35, Victor sees a bearded zombie wearing a brown shirt (as confirmed by Pete). The brown shirt is typically thought of as being part of a technician's uniform in the U.S. I think this was KC's way of hinting that this is Randy.

Or it's Kc just throwing red herrings out like beads at Mardi Gras....

I am in the camp that believes that the bearded dude spotted in Chapter 35 is Randy. But who is Randy? Is the Randy that grabbed Tanya the same Randy from Dunbar? Is there a connection between Michael and Randy beyond just surviving (or not in Randy's case) the Water Works (if there is only one Randy and not 2)?

Anyway, I'm guessing we are within 6 episodes of learning just who this Randy fellow really is.... And maybe what the hell happened to Michael's arm...

Ya know.....these descriptions of Randy....you guys make him sound....macho.









Get used to it, there's lots more coming....

Hi there,

man, I would feel very sad, if Skittles is (was) the bearded zomb ... But maybe Skittles mind-crack would help him remain human to a certain degree. Imagine a zomb within the zombs who would be able to sabotage zomb-actions, because he recognizes some survives as "friends" ... But he only knows CJ, Riley, Hope, the late Angel, and the late Kalani ... So ........................
Anyway:

@FunkyDung: Listen to We're Alive a couple of times. You are absolutely right: there is a lot of detail-work going on. And although you already know how the story evovles, you will recognize so many new thinks and have a much better understanding about what is going on ... That's kind of amazing, what is going on here. Some people here on the forum have listened to the complete show like 5 to 10 times (some even more, others only once or twice) ...

Best wishes!
Liam

I guess we are supposed to imply that everyone just got on with their lives until the bottom dropped out.

Yeah, but I keep imagining it like in The Emperor's New Groove, Kelly waking up in the middle of the night Kronk-style "WAIT! Where's Tanya?! Oh, well, she's probably dead."
Doesn't work well.

Started listening to 60. Hear Scbubba and a crow after the gunshot, lol.., more to come, I am sure...

Fast forward

I want to credit, WND with the Crows. I heard one of your callers mention it on the live show for the season three finale and wanted to put it to the test.

Like so much in We're Alive it's complex. I think KC is a great story teller and of all the sounds possible, we start season four with a crow call. Just when we think we can narrow it down to Scratch we have it associated with two of Tanya's patients still in the Hospital as Saul etal are about to leave for Dunbar.

Ok something just hit me like a pound of Bricks(no pun intended). Randy. Who the eff is he? if he is the tech from Dunbar. Then how did Michael know him? Is this the theory part of Randy and Michael that I missed and keep reading about that I have for some reason never put together and just assumed originally he was from the group they had at their tower. Did he met him at the Water works and in process Randy effed up Michaels arm. Sometimes I am slow or do not catch on to something until I say wait did I miss something.
I always assumed he hurt his arm at the water works. Randy I though was part of the crew at the tower. Why am I not catching this or was I just in auto pilot from forum posts and was just assuming to much from the posts on Who randy was and how Michael knew him. Cause now after thinking about it as I right I do recall a venomous tone in Michaels voice when he yelled Randy's name during the Tower battle.

Season 1
Some how Michael escapes the Water Works and has to go rescue Angel, Riley and Datu at the Arena and brings Saul and Burt to pull it off.

Some how he drives a hummer from the Tower to the Arena and back to the tower "White Knuckling" it, despite all the roads being jammed up with cars and his arm is messed up, too.

Season 2
Michael calls the name Randy when recovering from his Surgery

Michael yells Randy when a zombie is dragging Tanya away from the tower. It has a beard

Season 3
Sean suggests CJ should send Randy and the other techies to the water works.

Victor sees a zombie with a beard and a single tattoo shortly before the assault on the colony starts
