So what is it with Pegs and the other groups?

[Grognaurd]

All of this is circumstantial but it does fit a pattern

She starts off a timid mouse, but in chapter 12 she is a burgeoning Laura Croft. Jumping from balcony to balcony multiple stories up. She tells Michael about the potential revolution and pushes for a party. In those few hours she stands up to Michael.

When the mallers show up she gets a gun. When they are speaking to the mallers on the CB she asks wait, what channel? In my opinion the only reason she would ask what channel is that one channel is more important to her than any other. If none are important, why would she ask for clarification?

It has been stated a few times about “Military Intelligence”. He is has good instincts. When Pegs demands that he talk to the mallers, under his breath he says something like All of a sudden she knows everything?

Fast forward to the colony. Tanya says blah blah Marcus blah blah. Pegs says “Wait, Marcus is in charge?” Again, like the CB channel the name Marcus should not mean anything to her but again she asks for clarification.

I think the Marcus thing has more to do with being able to identify the one english word contained in a mountain of spanish "gibberish." People who listen to others speaking a foreign language will pick out the words they understand.

And she got Mchael's gun once he was incapacitated and their lives were in danger. She didn't have one until then. I think the thing I take most of the changes we've seen in pegs is she's become aware of the changes in reality and becoming more proactive in her place. She's not allowing others to dictate to her as much as she did before. And good on her for that. She's becoming an invaluable member of the "tower" with these changes.

Good points Nick. I have to relisten. My memmory is that I hear her manipulate a rifle. But, maybe that is just bleed over from when she does it in the car as they leave to tower to find a doc.

I have thought about that too. victor is speaking spanish. I remeber Marcus and "Ah Qui?" my french says that is like ah, who? I am from New York, but way up north. I am closer to Montreal than I am to Albany.

Tanya says Marcus is in charge in english and Pegs questions that. It just does not sit right with my Budha Belly that possibly hearing Marcus in spanish would be enough to spur a wait, marcus is in charge statement. I will be to that section in a couple of days on the listen through so I will pay extra attention. Last, I do not remember anyone answering her directly and she drops that thread of communication like a bad habbit. Marcus is in charge? seems spontaneous and instinctual. The silence seems more like rational thought to STFU, before some one asks her.

I think in this show everyone have skeletons in the closets in addition to zombies banging on the door. However, some of these dudes have closets that open up a secret passage to crypts.

If Pegs was some kind of extraordinary badass, then she really wouldn't have had the reoccurring nightmares about Murdering John (Latch) in cold blood.

COLD, I SAY, COLD! IT WAS MURDER!

Pzzzzzzzzzzzt :P It was self defense. Pegs was only defending herself, Michael and the tower from a home invasion.

Pegs has been there from the beginning but she's the one "original" Tower resident we know the least about. Since she first found Mister Whiskers, I knew she wasn't a pushover as much as people believe. And when the "It's Paul" incident occured, I KNEW she had something else to her. Her friendliness and hesitation to use guns labeled her as the weak link early on but her initiative over the seasons has proved differently.

I suspect she was just as anxious as everyone in the beginning because the world had just ended, but when she started to like Michael she was doing what nice girls do when they like a guy. It wasn't until he ticked her off and that she stopped censoring herself so much. It's good old case of "I don't care what you think anymore. Now I'm telling you, you have this fault, and that other thing was your fault, and you're doing this wrong!" When your crush crushes your heart, there's no more reason to try and not look like a psycho in front them and I think Pegs just started to do what she wanted since it didn't matter.

I've been saying it over and over again in my blogs, I think there's alot more to her than we realize. I hope to see it come out in this season.

Nice thread.Thanks for sharing.

concering the "Pegs is more than meets the eye" thought process
some of the change in characters is them overcoming some insane events that just never seem to go away. it makes them a new person. so much gets thrown at you (in the case of a story of survival) and you either rise to the challenge or give up and die. add a love interest and it goes even further. Pegs is different but i'm still not convinced that she is some rogue agent just waiting to strike.

Could it be that pegs has repressed memories that might have been there in the beginning but she never revealed it to anyone that would explain her change in attitude after killing latch and to explain the dreams it could be pegs repressed memories all coming back to her as for her change in attitude could be because in the beginning she might have wanted michael to see her as needy because she liked him from the beginning.
