So the zombies have been gathering their dead to harvest the "zombie gas" then? Shouldn't there have been gas at the arena?

They did bring their dead to the arena, but I think they were kept outside. I think Riley and Angel find them and we hear flies and Riley says so they put their dead in one big lump. The bodies found inside the arena may have been normals used for food.

It is interesting to note that Cindy, Angels girlfriend, may not have been found by the biters. Maybe she was, but I do not think Angel/Riley/Datu/Michael dug to see if the body was missing. They probably just saw disturbed earth at the grave. To be crude, maybe she popped releasing the gas.

Mh.

I take the alcohol as a (bad) excuse for anyone in this scene fucking up big time. Tardust - dead, OK. That's that. Riley's got something else on her plate to chew on. Either she does not care at all, or she will understand that she just killed another human being - no matter, how bad or evil this dude was. Anyway. I think there are different opinions about it, but there is no way to resolve this. What I just wonder is: Why, Riley? Why did you do this? Looking back at the complete WA story you actually never really connected with anyone so tight. The tightest possible thing, maybe, was with Burt, when you and he joined for the retaliation-run against Scratch (for what reason again?) instead of simply trying to survive in this God forsaken piece of land ...

Yeah, well. You could say that she felt like "close" with Angel, because in season #1 Angel and Riley had their personal adventure while attempting to rescue R2Da2. And yes, you could say, that Riley felt responsible for some part of the Lizzy-story-arc. But I do not recall that she cared about those things for much longer than at the time, when things happened. Afterwards she was just a human wreck complaining about shit, when she was not drunk actually.

Just my2c about this part. And I really thought for quite a while that Riley would belong to those people doing the difference - especially with her empathy and her social skills she especially showed during better parts of season #1. Well, that was that.

As for Saul and Randy's bite: Saul seemed to immune against the z-agent or z-factor from the jumper (or maybe his hybrid-incident even earlier). Is his Zombie-Immunity so strong that his body could fend off z-agents from different types of zombies as well? Any time we witnessed infection, incubation, and transmutation the newly infected turned to become a zombie of the type which bit the victim; and this points towards the strong likelhyhood that there are different z-agents around. So I wonder: is the z-agent in a Smart One like Randy the same z-agent like within a regular? And would this have a different effect on Saul?
Just sayin' that I am not as certain as others here that Saul is safe from becoming a zeeh ...

My own take on it is that I'm no longer concerned or worried about Saul becomming a zombie. I entirely believe that he has a strong immunity to it and at worst would be a slow turner, like he has been, until his blood clears up lika Tonya has. I dont think he can be re-infected and now has developed a full immunity to it. I'm more concerned with any physical attack, like being torn apart. He was bittin in the neck, but we don't know how bad. Michael and Victor can't follow after him, but do we only find peices of him later?


Edit: Or is he going to be used as bait?

That's why you beat it.

I do love circles. They're so much fun. I also have no qualms with passing out some quiet time to individuals who ask for it. There's a point at which things go beyond the point of conversation (be it heated) and turn to personal attacks. That's the point at which suspensions will be handed out. Let's ALL keep that in mind.

And no, I don't discount myself in that.

Not worry about him turning, more worry that we will die from the wound. No one is immune to bleeding to death.
