It's a setup. They're being played.

Now I have to hold my breath till Monday. I hope there aren't three, but Khang would make a super -deadly wendigo. I don't know if they work in teams or not. Seems very suspect that Swanson would survive with no supplies in that kind of weather.

I am afraid he's a decoy, and the wendigo is coming from the opposite approach.

I love how "mere words" can create so much tension and anticipation.

Wow. This is riveting!

Swanson is the wendigo

God bless Carl.

I hope he makes it.

This series is awesome, good work Vox.

Prediction: Eric has already been turned.

Billy's avatar

Crossed my mind, hope Carl doesn't pay the price.

Hoping he is supremely competent and that is Eric in the unturned form and Horace sinks a bull's eye with that artillery piece he's manning.

The timing of Eric showing up is pretty suspicious.

What an episode!

Carl is making the tough decision, fast, and living the tactical Alpha - try to save their man, only a less-bad and worse choice. Relying on Horace to cover them, or send them to Valhalla if timing breaks down. Tough one for a field Delta.

The commander on the ground has to reflexively be able to assess the situation, form a plan, give orders and then execute. He knows he doesn’t have all the info and that the plan is risky, but doing nothing also carries risk. Sometimes good plans fail and bad plans succeed, so let’s see how this plays out.

FYI, ‘Front Towards Enemy’ is not a suggestion.

I'm definitely buying this book when it's in print.

I am definitely going to watch the movie in the cinema.

Carl’s empathy is going to get him killed

Cedric's avatar

Hopefully, someone else's empathy saves his life.

Cedric's avatar

Khang's. Carl does something that allows Khang to save Carl. You know, friendship, brotherhood, and all that.

Or Horace turns out to be useful for a change.

Billy's avatar

Vox seems to have been giving us bread crumbs that Carl's strength and competence has helped force Horace into behaving like a better version of himself... or maybe he just wants us to learn to like him before he gives him the Ol George.

finally caught up on these a week or so ago. good stuff.

One of the best aspects is that Horace isn't a desk jockey, he uses bombs and guns, yet still gamma.

I was just thinking that. Horace is genuinely a deadly individual, experienced and competent with firearms and explosives but yet a total disaster with women. It feels almost paradoxical.
