Chapter 45-3: Distorted Truths

[Footbutt]

Just a few quick thoughts...
I have a feeling Riley will die without knowing what happened to Lizzy...
I just looove Skittles for being so creepy! And the ambience in that scene.... Eeeeeehh!!
I feel kinda sorry for Tardust... And I'm starting to dislike Riley a lot...

i can TOTALLY see Riley never learning of Lizzy's death. it sounds like the only opportunity for a lull in the action has passed and now it's go-time. otherwise, she'll take out her frustration on Tardust.

Skittles didn't remember letting Ink in? trauma, perhaps?
the Theory of Skittles reading Ink's tatoos and obeying goes out the window when you consider how he most likely isn't persuaded by symbols that should lead him into the zombie horde. (hoard?)

[UndeadSweeper]

I was wrong ... I failed yet again ...

Distorted Truths, ever Scratch got you guessing what is truth.

[Storm]

Ugh, wouldn't that be a cruel, sad misfortune....

The darker the better... Sometimes... And Riley's starting to become one of my least favorite characters...

[Litmaster]

Oh, no....

We are starting with Riley.

This is going to be a tear jerker.

Jesus, now you guys don't even finish the episode before you start posting!

[Litmaster]

Oh crap.
C'mon Riley don't go over to the Dark Side here. I know Tardust is a little weasel, but this is going too far.
I don't know if Tar knows more than he's letting on or not. But I don know that if they beat on him long enough he'll say anything, but that won't make it true (Another meaning behind "Distorted Truths?"). And it's just gonna bring Riley and Burt down closer to Scratch's level.

Riley & Burt don't have to go over to the Dark Side. All they need to do is tie Tardust up in a room, then go and tell Saul that this is the guys who tried to rape his little Blondie...

[Merlin1274]

Well Skittles is still in his Own Tower.. Funny how Towers seem to be the place people goto.. I even staked out a few near me for "What if".

So maybe Skittles does not have the Dictionary to the Zombie language. I was hoping he was and could be a key factor in understanding what is going on.

Burt and Riley.. Burt should have told her.. That will not go well if she finds out he knew and didn't tell her..

Riley going to the Dark Side.. This will not end well.. Seems she is another Scratch. They both want revenge so bad it clouds their judgement.

I make no predictions for the next Chapter.. But I think someone else will die. Mark perhaps.

[Gnex]

I kept waiting for Skittles to go

"THIS IS LOS ANGELES!!!!!" And kick CJ off the water tower!!!!

[Kc]

I make no predictions for the next Chapter.. But I think someone else will die. Mark perhaps.

Or Jim... don't forget about Jim. Or Larry.

Just two things to mention:

- Tardust's situation would be worse if Burt had told Riley about Lizzy's death.
- Riley has not turned to the dark side unless she commits some rather "unpretty" things.

Until this very moment, we do have nothing more than some foreshadowing, the usual two-week hiatus and maybe another poll by Liam if Riley is going to torture Tardust and what parts she will cut from him.

My guess is that either Tardust starts talking before Riley actually begins torturing him or Scratch will prevent the whole setup from happing...

By the way, did Burt and Riley take a chair and some rope with them?

[clem131]

I'm NOT ok with Riley and Burt descending at Scratch's level. Mostly because it is OBVIOUS that Scratch went back and cleaned all safehouses once Tardust left and that's why she hasn't attacked any of the convoys. Or do they think she did not notice 25% of her group missing?! This torture business is horrifying but above all stupid.
