Yee haw! That was beautiful.
The suddenly appearing crack seems a little surprising, though. How come Jo and Denis didn't notice it when trying to escape? I'd think that "follow mysterious crack to freedom" would be on their to-do list. Also, how come the soup didn't drain out of it, and why didn't the scientist patch it when it first occurred? How come the lizard thing didn't escape out of it? Not to be fussy; its appearance just surprised me.
Once again, streamlining for compression's sake. They saw the crack, but a.) It stayed on the same level as the zombies, which was plainly not a good idea (and would have also required the zombie slalom) and b.) plainly led into some sort of underground cavern, also probably not a good idea.
The soup didn't drain out because the crack did indeed lead to a cavern -- and then a continuous tunnel -- on the same level, which was also flooded with meat-soup. It was, as we'll also learn soon, where the
other zombies were resting up before their little underground treck.
The lizard thing swam away, leaving a ripple in the gunk, and no one know where he went off to. Come to think of it, that is a loose end ...
Not that it'll be bothering anybody. Nobody lives within two hundred miles of that refinery ... now.
"Never ... be ... clean ... again." Glorious. Elph, you may want to review your friendship with Jon, as one has to wonder if there isn't some sort of subliminal antagonism going on here.
The antagonism moved up to the ... err, liminal on the next adventure. At one point Jo pointed her cigarette in my face and screamed "I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING TO ME!"
She's just so much fun to freak out. Poor girl didn't sleep for three days after seeing
The Ring.
I assume you and KidC have seen it? Best American horror movie in a while, and actually a better flick than the Japanese original. Although it was the original which had me backing up on my couch at midnight, screaming "NO! F&#@KING! WAY!"
Oh, and I'm stealing Wulf's idea. Smart man, that Wulf.
Thanks for reading, as always,
