Chapter 40-2 Monsters

If anyone can build a flux capacitor from chem lights, its Datu :-)

I'm not sure if Tanya has a secret connection with Raydon - she is a vet after all, and has admitted several times that some of the research she is conducting is beyond her abilities as a medical professional. However, we haven't been given any details about her husband/Saul's father - all I know is he apparently left them. Perhaps we haven't heard his full story yet?

Btw, I like the idea of Ink rocking out to "when worlds collide" in the van :-)

Lol, as soon as I started reading the "what happened in the thiry minutes" I could just see an inked up guy rocking it out getting psyched up for a WWE type entrance! And Datu might need some duct tape to finish it up!
I get that she is a VET and says what she is doing is beyond her abilities. That being said, when has she struck out or barked up the wrong tree? Wherever she looks, she finds what she is looking for. And airsamples from a vet??? I could be way off, but maybe she was staying at a Holiday Inn Express before everything went down!

You make a good few points about CJ's personality and its similarities/ differences with the Governor. Both have had to deal with personal losses (CJ - the loss of Sean, Governor - the loss of his daughter) and physical trauma (CJ - leg, Governor - eye). Yet the way they have dealt with their situations are very different. CJ, although initially reluctant, agreed to lead the colony simply because she had no other choice at the time. The Governor is just hell bent on revenge against those he blames for his problems.
I agree that CJ will blame Michael for the colony's situation if she has to, which will drive a wedge further between them as well as the original survivors. Will they side with Michael out of loyalty, or with CJ and the colony for fear of losing their latest safe haven?

47-ish hours to go for the next episode, hopefully we get some answers :-)

Hm, I am wondering if http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wal...f_the_Governor would be a good read to get a better unterstanding why the Governor became the man he is in the series.

Wow, I just read the plot summary, it looks like a really good read. Time to head over to Amazon methinks. Thanks for that link :-)

Wow, it is tough to keep up with this thread if you wait a few days to listen to the episode! Lots of great thoughts out there that are enhancing the listening (and waiting) experience!

Bringing it back to Tanya and Saul's situation, I'm wondering how Tanya came up with the"cocktail" of meds she has applied. Is it possible there is overlap between what they took and what was in Ink's tatt mix?
Tinfoil hat theory: Tanya was Bill Robert's vet, and in treating a pet of his, they had a conversation about some of the drugs he was working with at Radon labs...
Also, though Tanya was"just a Vet," might a research facility dealing with chemicals who might be doing animal testing have a vet on staff? Tanya's methodology of experimenting and documentation seems to come from experience...

Anything is possible - this season, though only a couple of chapters in, has already provided enough surprises and room for speculation to keep the forum busy. Even though she's just a vet, Tanya does seem to know quite a lot about human anatomy and physiology; and we already know she's one for keeping secrets.

26-ish hours to go

I'm gonna be in a job interview today when the new episode gets uploaded. Luckily, I'll be able to download it via the app and listen to it on the way home

I wish you good luck with your interview! If the interviewer and you should get off-topic, and you happen to realize he enjoys The Walking Dead, tell him about We're Alive!

Best wishes!
