Final Prediction Time

**Osiris** · Jun 23rd, 2014, 10:47 AM

With one episode remaining before the finale, it's time for final predictions as to how the series ends, and my only prediction is:

Scratch is still alive when the credits roll.

*edit*

I will wager my super-moderator status, and accept a lifetime ban on Scratch being very much alive the last time we see (hear) her. And it won't be a dying breath cop out either.

It will end with them meeting another group of survivors and a huge battle between zombies and humans. The only ones left behind. CJ & Saul raising Nicholas, Kelly and Victor planning a future with 10 kids & Scratch who is a prisoner of INK. Everyone else dies

Some other open issues:

Tonya mentions more than once that she doesn't know if the zombies can reproduce

Sweet. But there is one thing which will render this outcome highly unlikely: The Western morale codex as it is depicted in Hollywood cinema.
Although it is not quite accurate, let's take a look at the annual clearance rate (taken from wikipedia):

Does this resemble what is shown by the majority of films? No. The baddies are required to die. It makes me kind of sad, but Scratch is going to be a goner.

Succesful destruction of Ink and his high level minions, the knowledge that around the world the other z's have gone into the ground to die off, and the whole of the world to start anew knowing that one future day it may all happen again. Oh, and some of our characters die along the way...

Edit: oops almost forgot...Burt skull fucks the shit out of Scratch.

Another Maller is caught and while he is pleading for his life he tells everyone how crazy Scratch is. He gives an example of how once how Scratch forced Tardust to pretend to rape Lizzy just so that she could "Save" her and win here confidence to get information. He then mentions that Tardust was one of the best of the Mallers and he wished Tardust would have taken him with him when he runs away. This completely breaks Reily and she is useless until the very end when she saves the day.

P.S. If you are going to bet BET BIG!

This is a zombie story, too happy of an ending,

About 20% of the fans will not be satisfied with the ending.

/prediction.

It'll be like Ragnarok! Literally...
The meaning of the name Randy seems to be 'shield wolf' according to this link... So, when Michael, WHO's of course the war god Tyr, Locks up Randy (chains the wolf Fenrir) he breaks his arm (loses his hand)... Kc's just switched the two events around to confuse us :P
And well... That's about the only connection to Norse mythology I can find, so... But it's still a good theory, kay!

I don't really know, I'll just wait and see what's going to happen, as long as Scratch dies and Hope's having a purpose I'm fine... Seriously! Why is she even in the story? I know Datu said there'd always be hope, but... Meh! She can at least use her pour attempt of a parody of sight to discover something...
She's gotten better though, in the beginning she was just a stereotypical blind emo-kid, Kc really got it right there (of course, he's Kc), now she's just a blind kid WHO's gotten used to no sight.
Yeah, I kinda like ranting about her, I've been blind for the last 12 years after all, I kinda know how it is.

Hmm, I guess they could always use her as some sort of zombie lurer if anything else fails. :P She'll probably save them all in the end... Giga plot twist!!

Yeah, ya can't please everyone.

In general I stopped trying to 'predict' or 'figure things out' (despite my prediction below, lol) because I just want to enjoy the story for what it is regardless of how I think it's going to be, should be, or want it to be. You've created a fine peice of fiction K.C. that I've appreciated for over the past 3+ years. I know I'll listen and enjoy it many more times in the future, thank you.
