Hi.

nope, the link doesn't work with Safari or Google Chrome on the mac side.
It used to work which makes this even stranger.
On another note, I was able to access the website with Internet Explorer 8 on my Windows XP virtual machine running in Fusion.
This is weird.
I probably should buy the episode, but I honestly don't feel like it.
Besides, I kind of want to wait, just to increase the suspense even more.

edit

Well, I was wrong. I tried going to the website again after posting this and Safari loaded the page perfectly.
This is very odd.

Epic yes, though I do feel they could've done more as I said in my previous post on the subject. For me the finale did it's job, ticked the boxes, but wasn't quite the awsome ending I really wanted especially where Ink and Randy were concerned. Not bad, but not really the high point it should've been as compared to previous finales, particularly season 1.

ok, here are my thoughts on the final episode.
I loved the scratch resolution. It was good not to see here outright killed, but rather to rot away in a concrete coffen of birt's own making.
I was a little disappointed that Saul had to die, but he went down in glory.
As to ink, while I somewhat agree that there should have been more on the resolution, at the same time I kind of like the fact that we have unanswered questions, because it leaves listeners to speculate without knowing what the real answers to the questions are. And also, there are mentions on the website of KC working on another podcast along the story line of we're alive, so maybe we'll get a lot more of our questions answered in that podcast.
Overall, I'm very pleased with how the series ended. I am a little sad that there's no more waiting for we're alive episodes, though. No more Monday waits. I am probably going to download and listen to the whole series again. I find that when I listen to things again, I tend to catch stuff that I missed the first time through.

@Dark: I suggest you go and listen to the Q&A I linked to in my previous post, a lot of your questions are answered in there. For the remastered CD version of S4 it sounds like they aim for the end of this year. The complete box set will probably take longer, more than a year, since they want to release it with more than just the four seasons and make something really nice out of it rather than something rushed...
As for Randy's last scene... Remember that the only one he actually meant something to was Michael, to Victor it was just another biter. The first time I listened to it I felt we were missing something too, but after the third or fourth time... Well, I can't really see what else they should have done? Jumping from roof to roof seems a bit too Hollywoodish, besides Angel, Riley and Datu already did that in season 1.
But yeah, as I said, go and listen to the Q&A, lots of good stuff in there.

Interesting stuff, I had it in mind myself that the gliff would be five equal lines touching the bottom of the three arcse and coming down like half a circle cut into five equal slices (think half of a ten slice pizza), so while I do see the hand thing it didn't emmediately occur to me.

Hello, do all these episodes free to listen?

Thanks. I will have a look. I heard many people in this forum addicting to it. Who knows, maybe me too.

I've always been curious about Ink's ability to understand speech and say a few words. If someone took the time, I wonder if they could have figured out just what he wanted and why he and the other zombies were trying to turn/kill everyone.

This topic is...ahem, still alive?

I'm reviving it only because others have before me, and I figure this is a well-established thread already. Why make another? Its last post was almost three years back, but jumps of a year or two have happened before. Either way, don't blame me. Maybe one some zombie or other got its teeth into it. Or maybe I'm a zombie.

Anyway, I just binge-watched the whole main series, and I have this to say.

For anyone still reading, definite
spoilers

Still here? Okay, gonna let rip.

I mostly liked this series. Audio production was good (not great). I noticed a lot of stock sounds, and a lot of inconsistencies (especially in the earlier seasons). A couple of the voice actors got on my very last nerve (Scratch when she yells, Lizzy, Angel and Michael with the way they sometimes phrase things). Some of the narrated bits are just straight-up clunky. Oh and also? The past tense of "drag" is "dragged", not "drug". They made this mistake three or four times.

As far as characters? My favourites were the soldiers (by which I mean Puck, Muldoon, Robins, Karl), CJ (though she grew on me, I disliked her at first), Pegs and Riley. Pegs started out weak and got a lot stronger. Riley started out strong and got a lot weaker. Both of the voice actors for those characters did a good job. I also found myself liking Bricks, even though he was on the wrong side of the mess. Most of the rest were either uneventful, whiny or otherwise not all that interesting to me. And ye gods, Pippin's accent.

Now, to some plot points I especially liked and especially disliked:
First, for something I liked. Not so much a plot point, but I do appreciate how Lizzy and Bricks became fairly friendly. I thought that was a nice touch; humanized Bricks a bit and made it so the mallers weren't just faceless killers with no depth.
Next, something I intensely disliked, and it has to do with Lizzy. She is probably my least favourite character overall. She's useful as hell early on, then peters out, falls asleep at her post, gets booted, gets captured, then we spend most of season 2 wondering how they'll free her. Then Saul has to basically lie to CJ, who really just wants to be left alone, to get Lizzy back. And what does Lizzy do? She accuses Saul of not confessing everything to her involving CJ, then plays the hypocrite card and gets pissed when Saul calls her out about Bricks. Apparently it's okay for her not to specifically mention things, but not okay for him. Enormous double standard, and I think I'd have chucked her out a window to be dev--well, no, that's cruel, she was pregnant after all. But that seriously nailed her coffin shut. It was sad that she died the way that she did, but to my way of seeing it, Lizzy was dead weight after saving the tower, character-wise.
Next thing I liked: Kalani's arc. Yeah, I know the dude was a rat from the first, and made some really ugly choices. But it's got to suck to know that your daughter is in the hands of criminals, and it must've gutted him when the mallers shot her at the fake exchange. No wonder he went out in a blaze of glory. I think this was pretty well-played.
Okay, next thing I dislike: Ink, and more clearly, this whole obsession with staying put. The whole "we can't run" angle. When the big attack at the Colony happened, it was December. They only hit mass shortages in April. If they knew Ink was hanging around - and they did - and if they knew (as they should have) that fuel was going to run out, and water was going to be a problem, why the hell wouldn't they have made a point to scavenge fuel for the helicopter, and maybe even another helicopter or even a plane, to fly everyone out? It doesn't make sense that they'd stay holed up where they were, it feels too convenient. And then what burns me even more? Those missions to Radon Labs and to the jail. That jail thing just seems pointless. I mean seriously. You know you're dealing with a zombie, not something that can come chasing you. That argument of "we went a thousand miles to Boulder and he still followed" is bullshit, because there was panic involved and nobody tracked the biter that grabbed onto the chopper. As Tanya points out near the end, the only reason it's so bad in Los Angeles is that Ink and the humans are fighting for space and for survival. There would have been no shame in establishing a new base nearer to a much bigger supply of fresh water. They could have and should have done this. As such, a lot of the Ink-related stuff later just feels drawn out, and I find myself not caring as much what happened. I was just hoping to get to the end. Hell, even that long trek where Datu finally turned just felt like padding, though I confess the flashback where Michael lets Randy turn was a nice gut-punch.
Last thing I particularly liked: Burt losing his finger. God, that hurt to hear. Scott Marvin (Burt's voice actor) overdoes it a bit sometimes (as do many of them, really), but he did really well here. I have trouble watching that without flinching. Also, the scene in the helicopter where Lizzy dies...Saul's voice actor did an excellent job there. He was one of the more consistent voice actors in the series, IMO.
And one last thing I disliked fairly strongly. I get the sense that when Pegs and co. leave for Boulder, and she and Michael have a talk, we, the listeners, are supposed to root for Michael here, but I really, really don't. Michael knows that Pegs hates guns and will only use them if she absolutely must. When she says she wants to go to Boulder, says she doesn't want to become a soldier like Michael if it means losing her freedom, Michael says something like, "Well you have to stay here". Most of my respect for him vanished at this point, and it came back only slowly; I'm not the biggest Michael fan (except for "hit him again!", that was fucking awesome), but this was a low moment for him. I really hope there was a lot of good conversation off-screen between January and April, because if I were Pegs, I would have run far away and not looked back. People sorta shit on Pegs because she's sorta the quintessential peace-loving hippie type, but I think she was right here, and I'm not big on the slant I felt when listening to that episode. I'm with her; if given a choice to flee to someplace safe, or to become a soldier just so I can stay with my partner during an apocalypse, I'm pretty sure I'd flee. Staying alive trumps staying attached. Of course, as it turned out, it was all moot, but still.

Honourable mentions: Skittles for really overdoing the quick breaths meant to somehow indicate nervousness, Datu for having another unrealistic accent, Scratch for not knowing how to project her voice properly, Tardust for being a really slimy but believable villain, and Glen for literally sounding like he's reading his lines off cue-cards.

This was fun, but I don't think I'll be re-watching anytime soon.
