I expected most of the characters to die, so that didn't really influence my enjoyment of story.

Most of the characters felt really true to who they are, and their reactions in this universe seemed to really make sense for this situation they've been put in. The only exception was Peter.

Peter's roll felt so out of place. Why is he so whiny? Honestly it felt less like Peter and more like Ian. This was the only thing that I really disliked about this story.

I felt like the world was really fleshed out for being so short. It was cool to get a feel for the world, and it felt very real. I loved it.

They absolutely nailed Veronica's personality! Her whole arc felt like it honestly could have taken place in the main cannon.

I really liked the Red Coral. It was an interesting and a really cool organic zombie interpretation.

Disguising the infection as a Rosetta Stone was genius, but totally doomed Ellie. There's no way she would have ever passed that up.

Good for Ellie! Take Amelia down!!!

I loved seeing Steve Sissay in this story. I wish he could have blown more things up.

I'd like just ONE world where Peter gets to live happily ever after. I'm still working my way through the New Adventure stories, so hopefully in one of the other AU stories he will finally get to rest.

Poor Maxine never got to be a doctor in this world and never met Paula. It's very interesting that she ended up marrying Louise.

On the last episode, I swear every thing Maxine said gave me chills. I love her so much in this universe.

I choose to believe that Maxine and Five got out at the end and were not infected. I know they ended it on the "Reborn" comment, implying that she might be infected, but I'm going to say the only reason she said that was because the word had been heard so much recently and was an accurate word for the idea she was trying to convey. She is not infected and neither is Five. I will not be changing my mind on this point.

There are three missions to the Dystopia Rising story, and despite how short it was, I feel like I really got a vibe for the world they're in.

I enjoyed all the characters, especially 8 Ball. I can't help but think that he and Sara Smith would have gotten along well.

It's a shame that the Mechanic and Steve will never meet. Imagine all the things they could blow up!

At first, I was unsure about the mechanic, but once he had his "No Man Left Behind" bit, he won me over for sure.

I wish we got to know more about the politics behind the attack. They even name-dropped who was responsible, but that's all we get! Nothing more.

I felt like Sam was true to character, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't annoyed with him though out this whole AU. He's like "Oh, I'm loyal to the empire" OK? Stop talking shit about it or reading things you aren't supposed to. "Oh, I think we are the bad guys" Cool, don't be then. Stop working as someone in the military if you think the military is evil.

I'm annoyed that s2s had Peter betray us and I'm also annoyed that I didn't see it coming. I LOVE Peter. Please, let him rest.

Was the shaman Maxine???? I literally didn't notice until the end of the last episode

I did think that the background to these zombies were interesting, but Venus Rising and Mystery at 4,000 fathoms set a high bar.

IDK. It took me a while to write my thoughts down for this one because I don't feel very strongly about it. I was mostly just not very invested in the story and I was annoyed at all the characters.
