Chapter 48 - WARNING SPOILERS FROM THE FINALE!

**Khalidak** · Jul 21st, 2014, 10:05 PM

Well I spent the $5 (well 20$ got a shirt as well) on Chapter 48 and I would like to say it was very good. I had a some thoughts on two things that kinda of struck me as off.
1. Ink got cut down a little two easy, but on reflection I can see were he would be so full of himself and his position in his home that he would be more curious about Saul not turning.
2. I did not like Burt going that far with Scratch and still in the end be okay and in the colony.

All in all this is the best podcast out there and thank you for KC and everyone working on this show. They did an awesome job on it. I am intrigued with what to come next and how it will grow from here.

*edit*

I will wager my super-moderator status, and accept a lifetime ban on Scratch being very much alive the last time we see (hear) her. And it won't be a dying breath cop out either.

*cough*

Just a thought on some of Saul's final words to Michael over the radio.

"Michael! You were right, you were right!"

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't remember Michael, Saul, or Vic getting close enough to a zombie (since putting on the armbands) for it to actually see and react to the symbol. I'm under the impression that the horde that Ink called to him and Saul was arriving when Saul said this over the radio. I pictured the scene as the horde arriving, but upon seeing the symbol, stop their approach. Saul then attempts to let Michael know before detonating the explosives.

And of course, many thanks to KC and the crew for making Mondays the best day of the week! Truly an amazing series!

You've got me over a barrel there, Alex (you asshole). She was most assuredly not still alive when the credits played. HOWEVER. If you read the edit, which was made long before the episode was released... The last time we hear her she IS live and well. Tough call. I'll leave it up to a vote. Someone start a poll. Banish me. Just remember, I loved you all.

No need to call for a poll, 'cause there is no need to ban you. If someone seriously cares abouth questions like this, he/ she/ it may consider leaving this place instead.

We share very different opinions about We're Alive; but as I see it you are one of the very pillars of this community - no matter, how hard you try to polarize ... And there is a reason, why someone decided to make you admin or super-admin or whatever you call your position ...

Best wishes!

Oh don't give me that I've been busy all season and not here, but I still LOVE to give you hell. You can always stay. Who else will argue that she killed Angel with kindness?

That wasn't what Michael was right about-

I don't know what to add to the discussion. I definitely didn't expect Saul to die, I was picturing a scenario in which Michael gets to the C4 and remains trapped after it goes off, thus writing "not for anyone to read, but for (his) own sanity".
In any case, we had payoffs and closure, which is more than can be said about most series out there today; on top of that, we had and a glimpse into the future and we have hope.

I especially loved the callbacks to previous episodes: the teacher talking about no make ups for the quiz and Professor Lefbrebrfbdb... whatever.

The lullaby in french was a nice touch as well

Michael being all protective of Nick and Pegs reassuring him that he's going to be fine. She finally found her strength, uh?

Technical note: Michael speaking to Tanya on the phone after Saul dies: it is very difficult to listen to. Is it supposed to be that low in volume? Like we are overhearing over the phone? Because the first part of the conversation with CJ we can hear just fine.

I can see a lot of spinoffs for the Tales: the new kind in the tunnels? What was Michael right about?

Thank you to the cast and crew. It was an amazing ride.
