I like that Fink, Be the bee quote. Anyone know exactly how it goes?

I absolutely loved this game and reading through this thread has been great, seeing people pointing out stuff I may have missed and while I don't have anything to add to the discussion (you guys are thorough) I did notice one thing that I'm not sure has been mentioned. Like many, I immediately started a new game and, while walking on the beach with Elizabeth, I got a bit of dialog that I didn't remember the first time. She asks him how old he is and he states "South of forty and north of you."
The only thing that doesn't quite make a ton of sense there is that Wounded Knee was in December of 1890 and Infinite takes place in 1912. I mean, I suppose he could have been 16-17 at the massacre, although I thought the insignia he had on the wall of his office put him around a Sergeant. I forget. I suppose that could be the case in 1890. Or maybe that was just his rank when he left the army. Hell, I guess he could have been lying about his age too.
Quoting and amending myself, if only for my own benefit and because I played through The Hall of Heroes last night. Booker was a 16 year old Corporal at Wounded Knee, making him 38 at the time of Infinite.
I read that one, too in the Hall of Heroes and thought to myself "How can Comstock be born in the 1870s, yet look so old in 1912.
Yeah. Like many things, they covered that base with a Vox recording from Rosalind Lutece theorizing that Comstock's proximity/use of her machine had prematurely aged him.
As I wrote before, I somehow missed that part.
2. Did anyone else besides me pick up that Elizabeth was Dewitt's daughter REALLY EARLY in the game? Referring specifically to the scene where one of Comstock's female undercover commandos calls Elizabeth "Annabelle" (after the kid's arcade and before the train station ambush).
That was when I put it together that Comstock must have been an older Dewitt with player Dewitt being brought into a parallel universe
Boys of Silence were by far my favorite type of enemy since they were revealed. That being said, I like the msitery of their creation. It was because of Old Elizabeth, but what happened to her at that time is a mistery to everyone, except for some audio diaries. I like that because it makes the story more real. You can't always be everywhere.
About Songbird... I don't know, man, I think it was answered already: he was created to defend Elizabeth, inspired by something that his creator saw on a tear.
Funny thing isI figured out Booker was Comstock very early on. I was in a random NPC's place and she was speaking to the police describing how Booker looked, and the cop was drawing the sketch, the sketch was basically Comstock.
I thought it looked a lot like andrew ryan and the joke was basically that it didnt look like booker

Then I looked at the photo on the loading screen and it seems like he did have that thin mustache. That made me sad.
How do the Elizabeth copies come to that place
I think Comstock was "killed in his crib," but not Booker. I think at the end "Lighthouses sequence" of the game, Booker was taken to the baptism by Elizabeth twice for a very specific reason pertaining to the one binary choice which determines Comstock's existence. It was the place where Comstock was born, but only in one branch out of two. So the first visit was the Booker path, in which he refused the baptism and lived, and the second visit was the Comstock branch, where he was killed. Thus, Booker realities continue, but not Comstock realities.
That's why I think Anna's back in her crib at the end. I don't buy into all this infinite loop, none-of-it-matters, you-can't-change-anything stuff. I think Elizabeth did find a way to fix things and make sure Comstock never exists, but she and her dad do.
Reposting and further explaining this. A week later and I still think I'm right.
Just finished.
.... That was.... Wow. I need some time to reflect on this.
I just finished as well. Although I think I had most everything figured out about 3/4 of the way through, it was still really satisfying when it all came together. Regardless, my productivity at work is going to go to 0% tomorrow as I read through 72+ pages of this thread.
I started to suspect that Booker and Comstock were one in the same during some of Comstock's taunts on the airship. Still, I was not prepared for everything that followed.
Was there any significance to the broach that you pick for Elizabeth early in the game (I picked the bird)? That was my one lingering thought throughout the game.
So I just found out that the ending of Bioshock Infinite actually does happen during the original Bioshock. Either that or Ken Levine loves reusing random background audio.
What do you mean by that? Plz be more specific.
