Chapter 40-1 Monsters

[Witch_Doctor]

So, I'm just sitting around, thinking of all things "We're Alive", like I always do and it occurred to me. What if KC was just sitting around and shooting the breeze with some buddies and said, "You know what would make the zombie apocalypse awesome? If some dude started pumping the zombies up with some serious steroids and growth hormones. They would be your worst nightmare. Incredible Hulk/ The Thing/ Mr. T Zombies. No wait, even better, Bruce Jenner zombies that can run and jump too. Let's add a bad ass Steve Urkel/Tupac zombie."

Then his buddies say,"Fool, pass the weed and shut up."

Thus, a silly B-Movie idea, along the same lines as Sharknado, becomes this incredible, magnificent piece of work.

It is a possible explanation that is too good to be not true...

Thanks bro, I'm hugging my throat right now,......WAIT, it's hard to breathe!

Man, keep on breathing, you will need the air to deliver the following monologue before killing TOWTM:

Come to think of it, in Chapter 39 when they find Randy his first reaction is to run away, have there been any other times when a zombie has run away like that? Typically I thought they would just start attacking, right?

No there have been other times when zombie have run or hidden. Near the end of the war when Burt, Riley and Angel are making their last stand on the fire truck the zombies eventually give up and run away.

There is another time when it is mentioned that a zombie runs and hides behind a desk. I believe it is when the crew is coming back from saving Datu at the Arena and Ink has gotten in so the team has to clear the building. They find one in the lobby that hides (could have been a different part of the story, not 100% sure, but I know one hides)

I believe that was the first incident we heard of a zombie hiding from the survivors - I'm pretty sure it was Angel who expressed his surprise.

Man! Catching up on 24 pages of forum is time consuming haha.

I don't have too much to add but it think it is funny all the theories that people try to extrapolate with so little info. Reading some of the theories felt like reading "well we know 1+1=3 so the answer is green" haha

I'll make a few predictions and wait impatiently for Mondays episode

- Duncan/Skittles had nothing more to do with anything than we have already heard. It wouldn't surprise me if we don't hear from this character anymore. He has served his purposes already (and I think the voice actor has a lot going on so trying to get him on again would be difficult anyway)

- Ink has nothing to do with the 'Families'. He had no problem tearing apart the Mallers. He was never at Eastern Bay. I think these story lines are separate.

- Ink is at least partially zombie, he was shot in the chest, jumps out of a window, runs super fast, is unfazed by being shot in the hand. I believe he was also the one seen by Datu in the Arena who killed Samantha. He tore Paul apart with what we can assume was with just his bare hands since there was no mention of a weapon by Pegs who I believe saw it and recounted it to Michael.

- #7 eating the normal biter is mostly out of hunger but also is eliminating competition for food. Just like any other predator who kills one of their own, it is a struggle for survival. With so few humans left, food is scarce for zombies just like it is for humans.

- Just like all the chapters have multiple meanings, I'm starting to think the shows name 'A Zombie Story of Survival' will start to reference how the Zombies struggle for survival as much as the humans are struggling to survive.


I think that's all I've got for now. Can't wait till Monday :-)

There was an instance in the previous chapter when they found the note at Raydon Labs (the shopping list) which Michael described as having "strange symbols" written on it. I wonder if any of these match the tattoos that Ink has on his face and hands.

[Unit]

Perhaps it has to do with the fact that,...(don't tell Kc I told you!), that these are just "monsters" roaming around in Michael's head. Yes ladies and gents, it seems Michael took another good wiff of his experimental mixtures and has taken a bad "trip" to la-la land. When he wakes up, IF he wakes up, we all go bye-bye.

I thought of something similar to that back while listening to season 1. What if this is just a crazy nightmare or a bad acid trip or something? Haha Michael is just a junkie that is strung out right now

I would call Michael a masochist, too, if he imagined Pegs (and her behavior) to be in his trip.

What drives me the most crazy is the purposeful ambiguity. Even when we think we learned something, there is still uncertainty. For instance, the tattoos. We hear, he bribed Cohen to do it to him. But, is the he referring to Ink or the somebody who smuggled in the pens?

So, now we know that Ink was Tattooed in custody, but not sure if he did it to himself or not. Both possibilities make a good story. I favor it was done against his will, because the term inflicted was also used.

Hell, just going back to Chapter 2 and the TiVo. He was convicted of killing last May. So, does that mean he was convicted one year before the outbreak or was the murder a year before the outbreak and he was only recently convicted?

Getting all What was the councillor's name? Nick Rivers? What does the pregnant PhD psychiatrist want to name her baby boy? Nicholas? Do I have that right?
