Chapter 44-3: Life and Death

[Eviebae]

I'm expecting for Scratch to be all yelly and posturing and suddenly there's a gunshot and she falls. Tardust is just up to here with her BS. Which means nope, that's not what is going to happen.

Hey, has anyone else noticed that if you look at the picture of Ink in the hallway (Chapter 11) as a small image; There's a white smudge in front of him that kinda makes it look like he's holding flowers? I knew he wasn't; but after a long time of seeing it tiny my brain decided he WAS holding flowers and was surprised he wasn't. Maybe explains a lot about my pre-husband dating history...

Ha Ha!!! Yeah, you're right!. He's just misunderstood.

Hey Y'all I've finally caught up on all episodes. I started listening last weekend powered through putting aside all my WTF?, Nerdist industries related podcasts in order to join the group.

I'm not sad to see Datu go as most peoples opinions go regarding Datu I felt he was a bit of a winer. I would have liked for him to grow a pair and go out in a blaze of glory. Strapping Claymore mines and any other kinds of explosives to a suicide vest and taking a stroll into the belly of the church. (SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND!)

Damn, you think EVERYONE will pretty much be dead?

Certainly.
Michael is kind of pessimistic anytime he introduces a new season.
And after all: It is a zombocalypse ... !

But maybe I exaggerate a bit, too ... Also I am not very serious about my assessments. I, for example, have not considered the specific role Burt might still have to play in this story. Maybe he will be the one going into the zombie-infested territories in order to manually ignite the bomb attached to KODI, because the electronics don't work properly anymore ... Would be kind of a tragic and very heroic way of dying in this world. Or maybe it is Burt who charges into masses of zombies in order to rescue Nicholas from whatever Ink or Randy or both of them want to do to the little kid ... I think there are plenty of opportunitys or options I have not considered with my brief list.

Best wishes!
Liam

You're just trying to protect yourself from future heartache by getting ready for the other several shoes to fall.

If it's true that the very end is going to be after they've all sacrificed their lives in order to end the epidemic then yes, for sure they will all be dead

Tardust is an interesting character.
He's a complete scuzball and a self-preservist. he's a planner, a thinker, and an asshole.
his Milton-like writhing-of-hands attitude could save him in a "do i back Scratch up in the moment?" decision, but i can see him dying with someone's boot on his neck.

i think when it comes down to saving Scrach or his own skin, the choice will be obvious.

i can see Saul getting to take out Tardust, and someone else, like Burt or Riley, killing Scratch.

I like his voice (the actors) because it has character. He sounds like someone from the 40's.

Wait until Scratch squeezes his balls (again) for failing to decrypt the colony's radio transmissions.



He is interesting nevertheless. Poor guy.

Wonder if Tardust will be killed along with the eventual death of Scratch....

I have to admit that his voice (and ALL of the Mallers') was a turn-off, at first. They sounded too much like stereotypical bad guys from Chicago gangster films and 50s hoodlums. Nothing contemporary like you would expect prisoners from a hardcore lock-up like Eastern Bay.

I keep expecting to hear Tardust talk about 'rubbing out' someone, or Scratch trying to decide which switch blade to take to the 'rumble.'
