Knock Down The Walls!
posted by chrisjdelSTAFFMOD on April 3, 2017 at 4:03 PM
Somehow I can't see Will, Katie, and Broussard just leaving the entire LA bloc to be carted off to the Factory. I speculated in another thread they might use the command that puts drones to sleep (for a minute or so) and then instead of attaching cameras put explosive devices on several of them, hoping there's enough volatile material and/or technology within the walls to trigger a larger explosion. I don't imagine they were designed to have bombs going off inside them. If the resistance could knock down one or two wall segments the population could escape and flee the area. It would also be the perfect cover for Broussard and the Bowmans to get the hell out of dodge without much chance of being spotted. A handful among millions. Just one of the ways I could see the season ending, with a mass breakout. What do people think? Any other theories about what might happen?

i can't see them leaving everyone behind either. i think they will use the artifact to help them escape. i see some people escaping with them but not a majority. if only the red hand was more agreeable to working together. the bowman's will do what's best for their kids.

Even if there is a mass breakout, a lot of people will die. Once it becomes clear the situation is out of control the raps will either send a whole lot of drones or start firing down from orbit. Will and Katie will do what they can for the people of LA and then get their family out of there. Getting to the resistance HQ with that gauntlet is too important a task to risk failing.

At this point a mass breakout seems inevitable, the bloc's going down and we'll move the show outside the wall (for whoever makes it out). Watching the clip from the next episode again, I'm almost positive I saw the Red Hats with their arms above their heads and palms at the top of the helmet in an arrest posture. I think no one is safe from rendition and IG officials will end up dying or making a break for the wall. Helene and Snyder on the outside might be fun.

The red hats, I suppose, might be considered expendable. Always more where they came from. I'm pretty sure the high officials, perhaps everyone living in the green zone (a much smaller number now) are allowed to evacuate. The Governor General in particular oversees multiple blocs, so all she has to do is be in a different one. I don't think Snyder will end up outside the wall with the Bowmans and Broussard although I could always be wrong. He'll want someone to get his daughter out. But he'll be more interesting to watch as a mole inside the occupation rather than slogging around outside with a rifle in his hands. He's no rebel soldier.
