Chapter 42-1 Chasing Ghosts

[Sin Angel]

Seems like the Mata-Gun is a carrier of misfortune.
Glenn was there when Datu first tried it out. (Glenn: DEAD, Datu: BITTEN.)
Jay uses it and dies
Puck takes the "cool new toy" out...

I think you may be right. How unfortunate for Datu, bet he'd feel like an ass if he realized that.

Calling it now, it wasn't zombies who they ran into.

Same as others, I don't think the Mallers had the means to do it. I'm thinking it's Randy & Co, ambushing the soldiers and then using Puck as bait to lure Michael in...

Damn! This is getting bad. We've got people being picked off one by one now.

Damn it sucks to lose those guys from the show! Hearing their BS trash talk with one another was becoming one of the best parts of the episodes.

Well, from a practical/human resource standpoint, they just lost their communications guy, chief mechanic, helicopter pilot, and door gunner all in the space of, what, 2 days? That is some heavy hits to take for the Colony...

Hmm, that's a good point, I didn't consider it could of been an ambush by the Mallers... And by not giving us the journal log of the incident, it keeps us in the dark of what has happened - all we know is Carl, Muldoon and Robbins are dead, and Puck's condition is unknown, considered either "out of breath" or severely wounded

We know that Puck SAID that they were dead. That doesn't mean that they are actually dead. I'm still holding out hope that the group got separated, Puck heard some screaming or something, and right now Robbins is still alive, tucked in some corner of the jail with the Matta-gun, something like CJ was in the basement of Dunbar when that got overrun...

There BS talk was some of the best parts of the show. It had me smiling quiet a bit. It was basically the comic relief part of the show. Also I've noticed that with scenes like this he occasionally starts the next episode with that guy's journal or something. So, the next episode may possibly start with Puck's journal, or he never gets it written so Michael can't 'remember' what happened in that part of the story.

Yeah, from a story standpoint, much of the comic relief is gone with those soldiers, so I'm afraid shit is gonna get dark from here on out...

But would Puck gotten with that idea? Even Angel wouldn't have turn on his friend in his condition.

It's probably hard to think of the larger implications of that when your artery is spraying blood out all over the ground. Puck is probably thinking something like, "AAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrgh-- FUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGG!!!"

I can't understand what Puck says when he calls around 21:45
- I too am destroyed by the loss of the comedic relief part of the show.
- I am a bit puzzled with how this turned out: Burt's return didn't leave up to the hype, since they found exactly nothing, and the whole set of "he" said by Saul at the end of the last episode to make us doubt Riley was safe was just a nice device to keep us happily discussing here (although if Riley was in the car then Saul should have said "they")
- I appreciated the animated discussion bit, a lot. Not unexpected but the passionate hate R&B got surprised me.

BTW, the first error-free transcript of the safe house quarrel between the fractions will get rep'ed by me. C'mon, ladies and gentlemen, it should not be that hard to do!

Crazy.. I had a bad feeling about the Jail when it came up in their conversation. Now they are all dead except Puck For now.
I would really have liked to see Puck be there till the bitter end. Maybe he still will.
I could see the Mallers Taking up stock in the jail for protection. But like mentioned. I have a hard time believing the Mallers could take out Puck and Crew. But then again if they had it setup right for an Ambush..
But my money would be on Ink and Company..

Glad Burt and Riley are ok. I like Burt. Always have. But 4mths and they have no valuable info or intel. What have they been doing. They could have, some how or another, gotten word back to the others even if he felt the radios were not secure. Everyone has a right to be pissed at them. But man that blow up was horrible. Good thing they were not all in a room together. Someone would have not made it out of that.

But they all are chasing Ghosts..

Datu is still the man.. He is figuring it out. I still feel sad for him..

Seconded!
(and also what Puck says at the beginning of his last call)

i'll attempt the Michael/CJ dialog...

[Sin Angel]

*Sits in Corner smacking head into wall* Darn it!

[UndeadSweeper]

Seconded!

Alright, let's see:

Burt was talking about getting a sandwich, CJ was looking for a parrot, Tanya was about to slap a fool, Micheal was yelled about how much he hate being interrupt during his story-time and Saul was sing the last verses of his song from the police station.... Man this may take some time....

If they got separated, he would of said it, not that they were dead - never assume someone is dead unless you see the body. I'm going to guess Puck saw what happened, got injured in the meanwhile, but managed to escape.
