Lockdown Part 5 - WARNING Contains spoilers

Yes!! That's right, he did do work there too. Ink's a busy mofo, the jail, the hospital, the arena, under ground Pasadena... Plus, he wasted no time making zombies 2.0, 3.5, 95, 2000, XP, Vista, 7 and 10 that I'm beginning to question whether his motive is protection as suggested by Tanya. It's like he immediately saw the new shape of the world like Tardust did. if you control the drugs (or the outbreak in Ink's case) you can control the people. He always had plans for his very own Zombie Empire.

I'll throw this out there. Ink isn't the only of his ilk on the planet. The release of the yellow gas was a timed event to infect and disburse. There are INKs at various locations all performing and controlling their own experiments. The INKs are all recruits themselves having been turned earlier and indoctrinated in preparation for the DAY. Our Ink probably wasn't supposed to be in jail, but he took advantage of the situation--a happy accident so to speak.

Simon says "take two steps forward"

I...I think I love you O.O That's brilliant! ROFL!

It certainly seemed hopeless when they were shut in and the rest of the group cut off communication with them. I started to suspect that an Arena type situation was brewing where the others would watch them get experimented on or harvested for food and or zombie training.

This is, no doubt, the most emotion inducing chapter. The angst of getting to Solitary, the fear of getting cornered then trapped, finally when no escape seems possible, the most interesting duo of the bunch is abandoned by their co-survivors to there own fate.

I have to admit that I was completely surprised that Dani was so quick write them off. She seemed to take the inmates' safety, comfort and well being to heart at the beginning of the story. But I wonder if she was also motivated by the realization that they needed the inmates' help to survive in addition to her compassion. Gavin wasn't much of a surprise but Jodi quickly gave up hope too, albeit hesitantly it seems. Simon was the only one to even try to offer a suggestion on how to rescue them.

When Jodi offered a suggestion on a possible rescue, that brightened this chapter's mood...... until it's revealed that it would come to her own peril. I'm right there with you now that it looks bad for Jodi and Fredo. However, in that same scene, everyone else begins to step up and offer their on butts on the line to help the others (Except Simon. Then again, he didn't get the chance. The inmates in the dining hall getting attacked changed the conversation.) The guys volunteered in the least expected order; Fredo first offers to escort Jodi to make the rescue even possible, Gavin offers to be the bait to draw the zombies away and Dani volunteers to take Gavin's place as he is still too weak. Looks like this might be a team effort. Unlike Jean-Paul Sartre's play, No Exit, there is an exit and Salvation is other people, not Hell. Any thoughts?

I think Ink is going to throw a huge wrench into their plan. Not sure yet. I am still thinking on it.

I really love 5. Made me cry and I wasn't expecting it. That perfect pause just killed me. Another great part about 5, no one from T-block died. Of course that likely means, 6 is going to be a death march from hell. Knowing that is what's ahead makes waiting for 6 to be released ever so much easier.

Yeah. I think six will be a tissue box episode.

I'm pretty much counting on it.

KC's Masterpiece. Better then the BBq Sauce..
Best Episode so far..

Totally agree. IMO, Lockdown 5 might be some of KC's best work. Definitely in the top 5.

No doubt in my mind. His work just gets better and better.

Something funny I noted in listening, Jeremy sings "just the two of us" which is from 1981 by Bill Withers, and it's the wrong melody. Steven Weber was likely in college during that time period and should have gotten it right. FYI, Just the Two of Us was nominated for the Grammy for song of the year in 1982, but Bette Davis Eyes won. You never know when it will be helpful to know that.

Just shows that Jeremy is a romantic.
