Kenny's Mental State
What does everyone think what will happen to Kenny? I mean it's highly possible for him to die in the shoot out, but I also think that it's possible for him to use his anger over the death of his love interest (and probably his past family) to use on the Russians. I kinda wonder how well he will cope if he does survive. Who knows, maybe he will become the antagonist for season 3, LOL.

Mentally, I think Kenny is fucked. And he would go ape-shit on those Russians.
My...sort of evidence for this is his sudden brutality to that walker at the end of episode 4. People I talked to thought it was anti-climatic that Kenny only killed one walker, but this is how I saw it.
Walker, lurkers, whatever someone calls them...they're still monsters. These monsters took his wife,child,and friends away from him. He knocked one down, and started beating it with his crowbar. Beating, killing it with the same violence and intensity as he did with Carver. Because these things, took away more than Carver could ever manage. Because of these things, people like Carver exist.
I highly doubt he will die that early. The growing obsession for the baby indicates Telltale has something in mind more interesting for him.
His obsession might give him rage-induced super-strength and unbreakable will to defend the baby at all cost for better and/or worse.
(better : as long as we're with him and okay with him caring for the baby, we'll benefit too from his rage mode who will be make him very efficient in our dealings with zombies / worse : obsessed means impaired judgement so could blindly lead us into shit, also might violently turn against whoever argues with his plans for the baby)
If baby dies, Kenny won't recover this time (would probably suicide). But he can count on my Clementine to help him the best she can.
At the same time, they're victims of an impersonal plague. They bear no malice or grudge, and don't deserve hatred. Plus Kenny freaking out over that zombie is framed to resemble his murder of Carver - it's even sprawled out in the same pose. I get the impression that he was having a PTSD flashback and reliving his killing of Carver in that scene.
I do have a feeling that we'll see him snapping and murdering Arvo for revenge. Unfortunately, doing something like this would put him on the same level as the man who murdered Walter because one of his men were killed.
