Chapter 20 Part 2 Discussion

[nikvoodoo]

Good point. That reminds me, was there ever a rule made about windows after Pegs flowerpot incident? I can't recall.

Rule #3- Everyone must stay off the balconies at all times. (Chapter 4 Part 1 ~14:30)

[Zombiehead]

Thank you. So nothing regarding lights and noise. A lit tower in a dead city should attract attention. Not just zombies either.

SIGH I'm ready for Monday.

Too lazy to read all 9 pages of posts, so this has probably been pointed out already: what's with the impossible coincidences? Less than 0.1% of the population survived this disaster- but Hope turns up alive then Saul's Mom shows up? What are they, part of the 'Final Five' from Galactica?

[CAUTION gotta get some mild meanness outta my system]

Now that it's been explained to me that Saul is black (he still sounds like a white guy from Brooklyn to me) it seems the only other decent black survivor in CA turns out to be his MOTHER? I'm reminded of a Danny Glover line (in Grand Canyon?) "We must be the only two black people he knows"

I have a shirt with that on it...

So was Bill... And Durai. Just saying

I bet there's also some black people who lived in the colony.

As far as I'm concerned Kc's managed to keep the cast amazingly inclusive. I may be one of the few people who've actively noticed (only?) but he's got a little bit of everything represented. It's kind of amazing.

Is there anyone from the middle east? We're alive needs a "Sayid" from lost. He could just show up randomly torture and shoot some ppl and then be on his way


Edit: that's not meant to be racist or anything, it's just on the show lost, there's an Iraqi special forces commando/interrogator, and every time Sayid shows you know someones about to die or be tortured. In short he was a badass

I see a lot of Lost references in the forums. Never watched it; not because I thought it boring or something but because deployments have a habit of messing up my TV time. There's a bunch of shows I used to watch or wanted to, but never got a chance to see them from start to finish. I do plan on watching it at some point thru Netflix. I guess a lot of people's problem with Lost is somthing similar to the X-Files... too many writers throughout the series diluted the overall story. But X-Files is so 90's and Lost is still fresh in everyone's minds. Whoa, tangent there. Sorry.

Anyways, Southern LA is a melting pot, so I expect some diversity in the survivors. I mean, it's not like Shaun of the Dead which takes place in the UK, where the population is over 92% Anglo-Saxon and everyone else is, at best, 2% something else.

And since we're kind of on the subject of what people sound like, I always pictured Scratch looking like Michelle Rodriguez from Lost. Yes, I haven't seen the show, but I have seen articles on her short time on it.

I haven't been to Fort Irwin since '96 (wow, that was long ago), but back then they had helicopter airstrips. I remember F-16s and A-10s flying around out there to help with training, but I think they took off from Edwards AFB.
As much as I'd love to see them move out to the National Training Center, I don't picture all the Tower residents moving out there. There's too much to do in the sunny LA area.

Bringer,
Yah, most of the air support came from Edwards. The Hogs are mostly Reserve and Guard pilots. I agree that just up and moving is a bit crazy and I've complained A LOT about Mike's lake of following his training, but i'm really starting to chalk that up to him just being an ass.. or some real deep issues.

Nik's probably correct about the forward progress of the show though.

Wolf,

That's a long roundtrip journey for the scout team and how long would they give them to return? Would they be allowed to send a larger team that consists of a team that would set up camp there then the other half return?

Does anyone think they'll go ask Skittles if he wants to tag along this time? Would he go?

Mascaria! Long time no see!
I've thanked KC a few times for having and keeping a diverse cast. We have Kalani, whom I think is Native Hawaiian and our fan favorite Asian Datu! I envision your girl Riley as being East Indian or Pakistani.
Oh crap! I almost forgot about Victor being Hispanic!
Those are some pretty good demographics when compared to..em.. 100% of anything else in entertainment media.
