yeah, it seems that the militia started out very different from what it is now. i think they started the militia as a way to protect people not terrorize them, and then Miles left when it started going theother way. at least that's what i think right now. Also, i'm having a hard time with Charlie, she is not all that likable to me at the moment. i do however like the Google guy.

love google guy.

His speech about the playground bullies made me feel bad for him.

Yea, he is cool.

I liked the eppie, I don;t find Charlie nearly as annoying,now that she has stopped whining, and starting destroying stuff.

That Charlie is a hell of a shot - she doesn't seem to miss

Practice makes perfect. I am guessing she was/is a hunter for meat. You gotta be a good shot with cross bow, to bring down a deer, or other large animal. Injure it, and it runs, you may not find it, or worse, it slowly dies, and the intestines blow up, and taints the meat.

I hate when that happens

okay watched last 2 weeks' episodes and am finally getting into it.



Any King fans notice the shout out to The Stand?
They used the names "Fran and Stu Redman" - the two big characters in the story. They also used the name "Randall" when that lady was typing to the dude. The boots slowly coming up the stairs echoed Randall Flagg (the dark man) in his sharp-toed cowboy boots...

The Stand
We first make Randall Flagg’s acquaintance as he’s striding south on US 51, heading for Nevada, and from there he might go anywhere... “it was his country, and none knew or loved it better. He knew where the roads went, and he walked them at night....and wasn’t it fine?”
Flagg cut a mean stride in his worn down, sharp-toed cowboy boots; “a tall man of no age in faded, pegged jeans and a denim jacket.” He didn’t know exactly when he was born, or much of his life from before the early 1960’s, but he did remember that he “came originally from Nebraska and that he had once attended high school classes with a red-haired, bandy-legged boy named Charles Starkweather.” He remembered meeting Oswald in New Orleans, and much later being acquainted with a man named Donald DeFreeze.
Flagg. Tom Cullen's thoughts on the man. "He looks like anybody you see on the street. But when he grins, birds fall dead off telephone lines...the grass yellows up and dies where he spits. He's always outside. He came out of time...He has the name of a thousand demons. Jesus knocked him into a herd of pigs once. His name is Legion. He's afraid of us...He knows magic. He can call the wolves and live in the crows...He's the king of nowhere."
And as we join RF on his stroll along US 51, we notice he is happy, very happy, happier than he had ever been, because something was coming. “He could taste it, a sooty hot taste that came from everywhere, as if God was planning a cook-out and all of civilization was going to be the barbecue.”
Then a lot of very interesting stuff happens in King’s best novel.
And when the circle closes at the end of The Stand (the Complete and Uncut version) we meet a man named Russell Faraday on a bone-white beach: “He awoke at dawn. He had his boots on.”

Yea, I noticed the Stand references, JJ pointed out the Randall reference.

I noticed Danny is just terrible at escaping, for gawd sakes kid run when you get free don't effin dawdle around

I want to know more about Evil Miles. Why would he arrest his sister in law?

ya... that's odd..



i agree Clarke. not realistic considering he's lived in this world... you cant dawdle or give the bad guy second chances in this world

Danny lived a sheltered life, he was young when the blackout happened. He was young when his mom disappeared. He lived in a tiny village that paid their taxes, and did not fight back. He is an innocent, for all the years he has lived. The guy in charge of him, played on that.

I like the Stephen King references, they give a bit of lightness, to an otherwise dark show.

then the community did a poor job of preparing him...

or its just poor writing. He seemed to be tough enough to shoot one of the bad guys men.

i hope there are more King references... wonder who the Tic Tock man is

Faraday ?

alot of King's references to Flagg throughout all of his books include men with the R.F. initials.



That said - our sweet Daniel Faraday may well have been an homage to King! JJ Abrams does love King doesnt he

Everyone loves Stephen King

yes :)

the boy is reading 11/22/63 and all week i've been telling him to get some sleep.. he's still up at midnight reading

I have been reading about John Locke in History class, the real Locke that is!

I know the feeling

Just caught up last night.
I liked Maggie I didn't want her to die!!!!

BTW I've never read Stephen King novels. I'm not a horror story/movie fan.

But I AM currently reading Arthur C. Clarke.

Gooooof its good to see you back here

King has lots of stories that arent horror. Alot of suspsense, a couple of sweet/spooky ghost stories, the one about JFK was really cool, no gore or horror - just a good story.



ps - i actualy teared up a bit when Maggie died. it was sweet that she was with her boys

And is anyone else looking forward to the Romeo & Juliet...I mean Nate & Charlie romance to bloom?

I think it already has, charlie is smitten with the bad boy militia kid, and the poor tortured boy who joined the militia is also smitten
i'm wondering if that boy is the son of the guy delivering danny

Yeah, I know, sounds like an oxy-moron, but it did make me smile.

Danny may have shot someone, and choked the guard, but the first was in his village, and the second, was self preservation, but if someone is in need, he is gonna help, and when he escapes, he has no idea what to do. I agree, his family did nothing to prepare him for the "real world"

I am sorry Maggie died, I liked her accent. And yes, she is with her boys now.

I saw that, romance between Militia boy and Charlie.

I'm betting he is, the guy keeps talkig about his son and that he joined the militia to protect hin, that he did what he had to do to protect his family

Nate doesn't seem dark skinned enough to be Captain Neville's boy. But who knows.

Eventually I'll post my theory on the black out here.

white mother?? ya never knowit's something I'm gonna watch for though

Even with white mom I'd expect the skin to be a little darker.
But hey it's tv they could do what ever they want.

Doesn't have to be a biological son
