ottoDbusdriver October 8, 2016 Share October 8, 2016 Episode Description: More people flock to Murphy's new cult; the others are stuck in the middle of a war. Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/48875-s03e05-escorpion-and-the-red-hand/
Muffyn October 8, 2016 Share October 8, 2016 Okay, I loved the bombie. That's a new way to target people. I found myself laughing every time one of our crew punched a Z. It seemed so bizarre. Why, we shall engage in old fashioned, bare knuckled fisticuffs with these undead monsters who are trying to eat us. Makes sense to me. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/48875-s03e05-escorpion-and-the-red-hand/#findComment-2633505
ottoDbusdriver October 8, 2016 Author Share October 8, 2016 Noooooooooo !!!! Not 10K. 10K actually got much more screen time than average this episode. Glad that he finally got out from under Murphy's control. 10K jumped from the same bridge that was prominent last episode. The bit about Addie's dental problems seemed to come out of nowhere -- she didn't have any issues before the roadside attack. So we never actually found out who this 'Escorpion' was -- or who was behind the Red Hand -- or how they were able to control Zs (because the Zs seemed to be doing their bidding). Is it one of Escorpion's old gang members -- if so, how did they get to the Pacific Northwest ? And why ? When Murphy was complaining to Dr. Merch about feeling rundown: "I think I have low T" That was funny. Odd that we got zero followup to Citizen Z from last week. Also, still no sign of 'The Man'. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/48875-s03e05-escorpion-and-the-red-hand/#findComment-2633608
Ohwell October 8, 2016 Share October 8, 2016 I don't expect them to be able to cram every main actor in every episode, so I expect we'll see Citizen Z and The Man again next week. I'm so glad 10k made his escape; of course, I'm assuming he survives in the water. Can't wait until he reunites with Doc. At least I hope that's the writers' plan.

peach October 8, 2016 Share October 8, 2016 I guess there's something wrong with me, but I'm pretty much Team Murphy. I feel bad for 10K, but Merch is no hero. At the beginning of the outbreak she was experimenting on prisoners, which created Murphy in the first place.

I laughed at that, and my other favorite line was when the bad guys said the Red Hand were trying to kill them because "they're crazy!" Roberta: "Everybody's crazy. Why are they crazy for you?" 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/48875-s03e05-escorpion-and-the-red-hand/#findComment-2634070

From what friends who've gone to comic-cons have told me the writers are fully aware of how popular 10k is and how many have a "crush" on Nat. The reunion is gonna be awesome until 10k tells them about exactly how he survived. Should be interesting to see how Robert's going to talk Doc and Addie out of killing Murphy. But then again, she might just be "As soon as we get the damn vaccine, we all kill him together."

I thought that was odd too. I thought this was a really good episode. I was worried when Roberta got knocked out and then I was on the edge of my seat during 10K's escape. I was waiting for the doctor to commit suicide, so that didn't surprise me. Would she have had to keep injecting herself to remain fully under Murphy's control? I'm not really clear on the different serums...there's one to create the bitees and then one to keep them out of Murphy's control (the pack that 10K took?) Would he have to take that forever? Would he die or have his injuries healed? On 10/8/2016 at 2:41 PM, madhacker said: Should be interesting to see how Robert's going to talk Doc and Addie out of killing Murphy. It's a neat trick on the show's part - they're all beholden to Murphy because 10K would have died without the bite but they're not going to agree with what he's doing. I think it's an interesting take, if he's building some kind of society other than creating his own group of slaves, and we haven't seen what his overall plan his - he probably doesn't have one, heh. Plus we've got a fake Escorpion AND the bald guy running around. Oh yeah, and whatever's going on with Citizen Z.

tvsoothesthespirit October 11, 2016 Share October 11, 2016 Would 10k have to keep taking the serum if he were far away from Murphy? For some reason, I thought there was sort of a control perimeter. Outside that perimeter, outside Murphy's control. Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/48875-s03e05-escorpion-and-the-red-hand/#findComment-2640820

That is also an unknown -- for example, the couple taking care of Lucy (the Zombaby) back in the Midwest got their marching orders from Murphy to care for Lucy, but it's unclear if he is still in contact with them.

Peanut October 16, 2016 Share October 16, 2016 I like this dilemma. There's a cure (or at least a way to keep you safe), but it puts you under the control of someone. Or you can be free, and risk being eaten by zombies. Personally, I'd just let people choose.

Which would you chose? For me, it would depend who the controller is, and Murphy is too much of an asshole to be my controller.
