Anyone out there believe that the Season 2 finale, will be able to top the Season 1 finale?
If you contrast both seasons episode to episode, it's undeniable that it appears the scale always shifts in season 1's favor. Can you name any season 2 episode that was overall better than any season 1 episode and how? I have my hopes and doubts. What do you have? How much faith do you have in Mr. Breckon?

Well, I heard that the guy who wrote S1EP2 and the guy who wrote S2EP1 and S2EP2 are writing the finale, but don't quote me on this.
I don't think he wrote season 1 episode 2.
Ohhh, even then I don't think Mark Darin is writing it I'm pretty sure he was the director or something.
Well, I'm talking about 2 people, not one.
I have more faith in Mr. Breckon than the other season 2 writers, that much is sure.
It will be tremendous, but probably not top Season 1. Lee getting bit, The Stranger, and Lee saying goodbye is too powerful to top.
Only one thing would be able to top s1 ending matching the sadness and the excitement along with the cliffhanger they left us with in s1. I think a MAJOR character death would be in order if they even hoped of topping the s1 ending.
No. But it might come close depending on how well written it is. Nick Breckon is writing the next episode, so I have hope.
(If only someone of Telltale's staff responds to something.Just a hint or a letter.Something)
I know that Nick is writing the episode , I'm sure as hell he will not disappoint , but the idea of a heartbreaking ending (between Luke or Kenny and when Telltale didn't give any reason to love Luke more , and all of us probably will pick Kenny.) is very unlikely ,the idea of a MAJOR cliffhanger in this season 2 that will leave us wanting more and making us upset is very likely and more logical.
I wouldn't shed a tear to Kenny nor Luke (it's not like I hate them it's just they are different from what they were before).
It's not possible. I mean, it's really not possible.
There's no way that TTG could kill off Clem without going bankrupt almost at once, and that would be about the only thing they could try to pull to restore emotion to the series. The characters have been so shittily written that we really just don't care anymore. Nothing can save this now, no matter what Nick Breckon does for the finale.
It will be hard, like, excruciatingly hard; but anything is possible right? Lee's goodbye has basically etched itself as a gaming moment legend in my mind. What Telltale can do to top that... I don'y know. I believe it will be a great ending, mainly because we know NOTHING. There was no preview, so they have a blank slate. Which sets up episode 5 excellently! I'm itching for its release!
Hell no.
Nick Breckon can make a kick ass finale though, the other writers can't.
I think All That Remains and A House Divided were slightly better than A New Day and Starved For Help but I did prefer Long Road Ahead and Around Every Corner to In Harm's Way and Amid The Ruins... so it is up to No Going Back as the deciding episode.
I do think that nick Breckon will do great.But I dont think it will make us all cry once the season ends.What I'd like to see is not trying to make a "big dramatic death".(Lee's was sucessfull.This cant happen again.No one's so connected with the characters from what I've seen here)I think they should focus on making season 3's writting better(I DONT say season 2's writting sucks.Its good,but it can be improved.)Maybe the season could end at a critical scene(Like E3 with sarita choice and E4 with the shotout.)
Could'nt have put it better myself, totally agree...
No chance is my opinion, the story plot, story depth, character dev just isn't there this season, just hasn't absorbed me at all its just been 4 episodes of button pressing so far for me, I hope they kill everyone off now and start fresh for S3, I doubt they will but wish for it.
I think it will be. Season finale of Season 1 was spectacular but to me it was a one dimensional story: save Clementine from the stranger.
This season finale can be A LOT more interesting and the ending are WIDE OPEN. Does Jane come back? Who lives? Who dies? Is Lilly returning? Are Jane and Luke going to be an item? What are we doing with the baby?
Well said. There are plenty of ways this finale can go.
I mean obviously its going to be hard to top because of Lee, but I felt going into the Season finale (Lee was bit) we already knew what was going to happen in a sense. Here, I have no clue what so ever.
Damn strait...
With no story AAAAAANYTHING can happen.......
We have a baby thats had about 3 mins screentime to bite our nails over, how many people I dont care about get killed in the shoot out .....errrrrrr how kennys eye heals............ errrrrrr wtf happened to crista and her baby (I am actualy eagerly awaiting an answer to this) ....
As you say its totally wide open.....
I would enjoy a great conclusion. But I don't think I can take anymore cliffhangers. Cliffhangers make the already long wait for whatever is next that much more frustrating especially with Tell-Tale's eon long waiting periods. A series can still be awesome without relying on a cliffhanger at the end of every season. The Walking Dead (TV show) does a good job of ending their seasons with some closure and still keeping the audience wanting more.
Nahhhh
Plus without an end of episode preview, we are completely in the dark. I like it.
Dont think so, there wasnt a good build up this season imo. I dont think TTG will ever top season 1 unless season 3 starts off on a good foot.
where you hear this???cuz I know breckon is friends with Sean
yall speak for yourselves, but no though
no. and I love both game and I don't give a shit what most of this fucking trolls say, I love season 2, but I don't think so. S1 finale is probably the greatest thing ever. and lets be honest; as I said in a thread I made, that finale is what basically made S1 to be the phenomenon that it is.
LOL this is why I love this forums. absolute hilarity. I just said the reasons why the story is wide open. . . ?
And we added a couple more. I fail to see the "hilarity" you speak of.
No.
The problem with the finale is that we have high expectations for it, where in S1 we had very little to know what to prepare for. Nobody could have forseen the S1 ending's emotional strength; but now we've got S2, and we've got something to compare it with. Due to our surprise in the ending of S1, I doubt S2's finale would be as high of a surprise, so naturally we're probably going to say that S1 had a better ending.
they won't be able to top s1 finale...
Its an unpopular opinion but I honestly prefer Season Two overall, I like the season two characters better and found them more relatable, my only complaint is there not being as many hubs for the player to interact with characters, i did however apreciate that Telltale listened to the fans and slipped one in in Amid the Ruins
Well just have to wait and see, maybe it will an maybe it won't.
I have faith that Telltale has a box of feels hidden up their sleeves
was responding to Craticus.
Episode 5,No Time Left,was the most dramatic,and the best written episode.I don't think,for a damn long-shot,any episode will match that episode,except if S2E5 was more dramatic.According to the poems that were in the achievements,Clem will die.The last 3 achievements shows Clem's death.Just search the titles in Google,and read the poems,and you'll get what do I mean.
Kenny confirmed protagonist for S3
I still think "A House Divided" is only surpassed by "No Time Left". I think it's gonna all come down to this season's final choice. If it's even more heart wrenching than last season's, then maybe we'll think of S2 as better than S1, considering the last episode is the one that weights the most in our opinion, since it's the one we play last.
I looked up the poems as well, I have to say I disagree. For example, the very last achievement, "All the Dead Lie Down," is from an Emily Dickinson poem. The full stanza of that poem is ”It was not Death, for I stood up/ And all the Dead, lie down—/ It was not Night, for all the Bells/ Put out their Tongues, for Noon". The poem is about how miserable Dickinson is. She isn't miserable because she is dying, but she feels so bad, she might as well be. If anything, I think Clementine is going to be watching someone else die.
Sure, Lee dying/zombifying was pretty fucked up emotional and very well done indeed but the kidnapper was just tacky.
