    Honestly, I don't remember when the last time we heard exactly when Lizzie was due, but if she's at 37 weeks, you're right that she's at term and can deliver at any time. Even if she's before that, they'll deliver the baby in circumstances like this where the baby's heart rate starts dropping. Outcomes are better all around because there's not much you can do for the baby while it's in utero, and delivery will cure the problems for the mom too.

    Just for fun I checked Cordova Street in Pasadena for churches. I only found one, Trinity Baptist Church at 1147 Cordova Street. It's a smallish church, but it isn't an exact match with the physical description of the church in this episode. Here's a picture from the front.

    Hi guys, first post here, been a long time lurker. I just need to weigh in here on the "insta-language" controversy. People who are up in arms about it seem to think that it is more implausible than all the physical transformations we've seen in the zombies so far. I think it is pretty consistent with what we've seen and has nothing to with magic, the supernatural, or a hive mind.

    Don't underestimate what the alteration of he physical makeup of the human brain can do to perception. If the zombification process can mutate a normal human into some undead supersoldier, is it really that hard to believe that Roberts found a mechanism to trigger parts of the brain when they view certain patterns? Obviously zombificaton changes the brain, if Roberts was able to fully understand how, he certainly could pull off a variety of tricks. Some symbols seem to convey a feeling (i.e. enter, or stop), perhaps the visual stimuli affects the re-wired zombie brain by activating the instinctual fear (stop) or pleasure (enter) centers automatically upon viewing those patterns. How do you get an address? If Roberts can figure out brain chemistry, he can certainly induce a sort of artificial dyslexia or some type of reading "disorder" that can easily be made into code when reverse engineered.

    Of course all of is partially dependent on the theory that the infection is in fact a chemically created phenomenon that Roberts has likely devised himself, or at least has spent a great deal of time studying before the outbreak. He may not be patient zero, but that doesn't mean the whole thing wasn't his plan. Honestly that theory seems the least far fetched one as far as determining the cause of the outbreak.

    I love reading these comments. Tonight, especially has been interesting, and being able to sit and interact with you all face to face. I feel that today has pulled the curtain back and I'm more exposed to you all. It's also unique timing because I believe this is one of the few times we've had what fans call story red flags. And, I think maybe people may be reacting differently because the series is ending soon and they doubt how much can be wrapped up in such a short amount of time.

    That being said, perhaps at this time I should limit my exposure. (And btw, I know Lit was joking with his comment above, but quite the opposite! Happily married, love my job, my show, but also very critical of my work and force a very self-grueling work ethic). In the future, at least until the end, I'll refrain a bit more from interacting within the threads. I'll still jump in here or there, but perhaps I'm a little too hands on right now. The other comment before was right, I do read and react to the people on the forum, and there have been small influences; things I've included to clarify something or maybe in other ways I don't recognize. So, I won't be gone or anything, just a little less of a guide. I'll let the story elements unfold, and let people react how they want. I like constructive criticism, and maybe this will be more freeing, not having a looming feeling that something might effect me.

    Who knows, maybe I won't really have fewer posts... but the sentiment is to let people theorize without me getting in the way

    Another great close to a chapter! I've 2 weeks to feast on speculations...initial thoughts are that Ink is a freakishly intelligent person so there may be some sort of sciencey explanation to Datu's mind control as part of his intelligent design.

    On a side note, its interesting how some people conclude to occult, supernatural explanations on this story (and for many other stories and happenings around the world) because I think it says a lot about the human condition which isn't necessarily bad or good but it is something that's been apparent for as long as history's been recorded.

    What I am excited for for next chapter is an intense, edge of your seat arc that I feel will top my personal favorite, the area rescue arc...I can still feel the chill of being in the mushy goo of human flesh!

    Hi.

    Sorry, I have some trouble joining into the criticism about the symbols being words and/or commands to the zombies.

    I remember us discussing a lot about an ant-analogy in respect to the zombos, when Randy dropped these bottles. Now I would like to make you remember these discussions again, because I have the feeling that many of have seemed to "accept" this kind of theory.
    Ants "talk" or "communicate" by using hormons or shit telling everyone in the ant-family what to do - some simply for "follow this trail", others for "defend", again others "safe the ant-eggs", or "feed big Mom" etc. ... What if these symbols have the a similar effect on zombies? Their brains may get twisted by the z-agent, and by seeing symbols all across the place they simply follow these symbols, because there could be kind of a hard programming through the zombie-agent.

    Or make it different: What, if those symbols are painted with colors which were enriched with certain hormons or fluids the zombies simply "scent". R2Da2 explicitely says that these symbols are not like explicit words, but about a certain meaning. He sees the symbols and "understands" something about them in a way that he cannot resist and thus follows "an order" as he understands it. Just like an ant smells a certain hormon in its surrounding and reacts accordingly. EDIT: FYI This hormone-enrichment is more than less falsified, 'cause one important detail slipped my mind; so no need to discuss it anymore. /EDIT

    So - yes. Could be. I am looking forward to get more clues and see where this is leading.

    Best wishes!
    Liam

    Zombie Story:
    - raises the acceptance of killing humans in huge numbers,
    - reveals everything bad and and even worse about human behaviour and psychology,
    - is fun.

    Back to the synaesthesia we go... At least I'd love to see that play a part... Some man made form that would be the same for everyone... It would have to alter their brains though, but people have already suggested that, so why not...
    Synaesthesia might be able to explain at least some of it...Or maybe I just say so because I can imagine how Datu feels about those symbols... Though I don't feel a sudden urge to enter a room just because it's got a letter on the door.
    But I will immediately think of the color red if you mention Saturday, and feel that you're completely wrong if you say it's not... Quite funny actually, I always feel an urge to correct someone when I read about other synaesthetes experiences if they are different from my own.
