Chapter 40-1 Monsters

[Witch_Doctor]

BUT, before I go, the thing that's bothering me the most is this: back in the early chapters the TIVO recording said:

The plea of insanity has been accepted in the case of Bill Roberts, nicknamed “Ink� after his numerous tattoos that cover him from head to toe.

Ink was convicted of multiple homicides outside of Santa Monica last May. He is currently being transferred to a mental health facility. Doctors have confirmed that he is paranoid schizophrenic, and the family itself was devastated—

He is currently being transferred to a mental health facility—

We are receiving updated reports of the rioting in downtown Los Angeles. News of more riots are being reported in many metropolitan areas outside of Los Angeles, Detroit, San Diego, New York, Houston, Chicago and also internationally in cities such as—

But today, it seems like he *never even got into the court house*, never mind start the transfer to a mental health facility! It also seemed that he was coming to court from prison, to which he'd been transferred from a mental health facility. Is it just that he was due to go back to Cain Hospital after the court hearing? Why was he ever in prison if his mental health was so bad? Is this a breadcrumb to follow? Or just a continuity blooper??

So many questions!!

I'm not sure, so I'm on my second listen, but Kelly mentions that he never made it to the courthouse(?) and that he was attacked and turned. Kalani says that CJ's people thought that ground zero is where the first bitten was turned. CJ had at least one police officer on her team (The SWAT member). I always thought that the first bitten comment was extremely specific. As, if someone from CJ's team knew more details about the beginning than we do. Maybe even saw it start.

Loved it, about time we hopefully get to an possible origin story of Ink now

I LOOOVE THIS SEASON!
Okay, seems like the father/son theory was wrong, but hey, it was good!
The "I think Robins is dead"-part got me really nervous... And I actually kinda hoped that he was, due to the Chemical that got on his arm.
At my first relisten I thought Tanya was getting killed, on my second I realised what Victor meant by saying she wasn't as quick. Hehe.
But... Robberts was nicknamed Ink due to his tattoos, that covered him from head to toe... Sounded more like they were on his face and hands according to the newspaper, but well.
This is getting better and better!

PS. Can someone please explain the artwork for me... Woods? Sounds interesting.

Oh man, I was shocked when Muldoon said Robbins was dead....I nearly screamed "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO". But then it was a lie......Man, what a episode; confirmed that Dr Roberts = Ink = One with the Markings, the disappearing bodies and gas in Inglewood, #7 attacking the lone wolf...... WHAT IS GOING ON???? AND, to top it all off, they found out Ink wasn't the first one turned............
One hell of an episode, gives us answers to last episode's questions, but gives us even more questions for next time....DAYUM.

Looks like they are setting up a wind power electric generator.

Oh, I think I know people's confusion. This wasn't William Roberts first time at the courthouse, that wouldn't make sense. This was just ONE of the times he was to be there.

There's one thing confusing me about the news reports. On the TiVo back in chapter 2 it says the murders occurred "last May" which would indicate May 2008. Now in this episode, Kelly uses the same wording of last May, and says that the murders happened "almost a year ago." But by this point that would mean May 2009, right before the outbreak started.

[skankyfish]

He was never in prison. I won't comment early on, but it's not a blooper.

Ok, thanks for the hint! Time to re-listen...

...but was Ink "targeted"?

Only 2 minutes in and all my theories already flushed down the toilet. Nice work KC ;-)

Going to listen to the rest of the episode now and catch up on the forum in a little bit haha
