I agree with just about everything you wrote here.
The house is not safe, and everyone from Eve to MC to even Kallie recognizes this. (Not sure about Shelley, but she's just kinda along for the ride anyways.) They know it's a temporary refuge but way too vulnerable with half the first floor having glass walls. If the witches ever organized the Burned Ones to act in a coordinated manner (or they encountered hostile humans) that place would easily fall to just about any assault. Eve rejected staying at the house for good reason.
No less so than the garage--the one advantage of the latter is that you can more easily hide in the "garage" part (not so much the shop part). Those roll-up doors aren't any more secure than the glass at the house (or in the shop). The house surely isn't a fortified location, but it's safe from the behaviors we've seen, from the threats we've seen so far. Now, the big guy following MC at the end? Who knows?
Sure, being prepared for such things is a good idea--it's the same reason MC and crew barricade doors and the like. But as yet, we haven't seen any of these things, and neither has Eve. The only hostile humans they've encountered have been the one crazy guy at the school (admittedly, he was hostile enough to count for a few), and Eve. Nobody out and about at all.
Guys, I think we need more suspension of disbelief and not-arguing over characters' decisions.
- a nice sex scene between MC and Kallie in every update, therefore our MC didn't have to go with Laura and Shelley to Eve's, therefore we had that little deceiving plot the girls orchestrated.Normal (exterior) doors and windows, especially modern ones, are airtight enough for the purposes of this story--it doesn't have to be perfect. Similarly, a solid fabric (i.e., not with the mesh in back) ball cap is going to provide a good degree of protection from airborne contaminants--we've seen that all their gear is less than perfect (I don't think Eve's is perfect either, but it's considerably better), but it's covering exposed skin, and it can be washed.
She definitely has some rough edges, and I'd at this point consider her the least-good-looking of the LIs. But I think she's growing on me.
Definitely possible. We haven't previously had a lot of indications of higher-level strategic thought from any of the mutated. But the Witches trying to be clever in "crying out for help", and now the conga line of Burned Ones back to the house would suggest they are developing analytical thought. Actual emotion could be another general evolution of the mutants.Whatever it is might be pissed because all his burned-one buddies got slaughtered.
Oh, and if burned ones come from men, and witches come from women, what the hell does that thing come from?
TBF, unless that thing makes a lot of noise (while walking or otherwise), it's far enough behind him that he likely can't sense it, and he had no reason to look behind himself while heading away from what might be lurking. If he saw no danger as he turned the corner and left that area behind, it makes little sense to turn around "just because". Otherwise, he'd be making a string of circles all the way to the garage.
While I agree it would definitely take brass ones to kill her off, I think not doing so it more logical anyway. The MC already struggles to push forward, physical and mental exhaustion constantly wearing him down. If what Walter suggested does turn out to be true, I can't see the MC moving past it. Even if he somehow forces himself forward because Shelley and Laura still need him (and presumably Eve eventually), there's no way losing Kallie like that doesn't destroy him inside. Except for this most recent deception, the MC has consistently regarded her as a sweetheart, someone who's gotten so much crap from Andrew that she's decently fragile. If she's actually committed suicide, I see no way that the MC doesn't blame himself and have that slowly consume him over the rest of the story. I think it's impossible that he would ever recover from that.
From the capabilities we've seen from them so far, the house is perfectly safe. The Burned Ones literally don't notice people inside buildings and all the Witch has done was lightly scratch a window.
That was them following Shelley and Laura.
...Yes, I know. What's your point? They didn't get close to the Burned Ones in the first place, so it was clearly more of a tracking behavior than an ambush-and-reaction one.
I tried to make this point a week ago and some fool chastised me for it. They argued that the girls have saved his ass multiple times over now, which while true, is only because he had to put himself in riskier situations to keep them (especially Laura) placated and alive. He'd been better off alone, but then you don't have much of a game or story. Most of the shit that has happened to them is a result of Laura's actions and like you, I don't blame Kallie and Shelly, they're young and easily swayed (the latter especially, due to her condition). Laura gets left somewhere if it were my call at this point.
Yeah, I thought the same thing I don't think it's going to follow them for a few hours when the girls are closer, they will have to deal with it while MC and Eve are out exploring.
OK, let's not call it Big Daddy, please. My skin immediately starts to crawl when I see that.
(Porn really has ruined me for stuff like this.)
Big Daddy was a British wrestler.OK, let's not call it Big Daddy, please. My skin immediately starts to crawl when I see that.
I had no idea. Ofc, I haven't really followed American wrestling very much, either. So I guess it tracks that I wouldn't know.
And sort of for an American one. He used the name "Diesel" but the nickname "Big Daddy Cool." Haven't watched in about 30 years.
Definitely (2). I don't understand how you even thought of (1). I don't believe that even Andrew ever threatened her physically.
Physical violence doesn't matter in abusive relationships.
