What if the Gas Zombies...aren't even zombies?

A pretty interesting theory. Way to challenge status quo, comrade.

Electrical surge aspect of theory makes sense; turn power on, electricity causes barrels to open.

One can't help but wonder though. Why is it that barrels open after electric current? Maybe barrels are rigged to do so intentionally, sort of like remote detonator. Also known as, a set trap or ambush.

If a way to nonchalantly open the containers were to open an electric air current in theater (or anywhere for that matter) one could argue that the barrels were set to do so as a trap.

Maybe whoever placed the barrels in theater, placed them there in order to set a trap to kill everyone in building (same intentions as in map 'Five')

However, when looking at map Moon. Only plausible scenario would be one said by 'Faust'

That creatures we see today were created due to surgery and other major events from detonation of bomb.

OR, the theory of Aliens being on the Moon, and being over-exposed to high doses of radiation from Element 115, resulting in Nova-6 Crawlers, so to speak. I like this theory better because that could explain 'Dark side of Moon' idea

Space/Aliens/Area 51

All those, plus the re-addition of the gas zombies AND the cutscene at the end of the trailer just scream of;

"OH herro, I'm a big stinky alien :D"

Thing is, i've seen no-clip tours of Kino, and the barrels on the stage are already open when there's no power =/

Plus, as someone mentioned, Tank calls them human, which in turn helps jog his memory in the overall story.
