So I just played the finale
Damn, damn, damn! I found it extremely good and oh so many things to talk about. Alright I was so surprised by the beginning, where no one other than the Russians (except Arvo of course) died in the shoot-out, and I was also super shocked when Jane returned. I was really happy (though kinda sad, most of the time I just thought to myself "Fuck you Arvo".) Holy-moley though this was NOT how I thought the episode would turn out, or how the season would even go ahead. I was sure everyone would die and it'd be Clementine alone at Wellington run by Lilly/Christa. But damn.
I tried to survive as best as I could, and Luke died during the lake. I could not believe Mike, Bonnie and Arvo left us! I was so sad, and also the dream sequence. Holy mother of good-ness the nostalgia waves came flooding back and I felt so sad yet so happy.
Okay a little bit of background info: Before I played The Walking Dead, I had heard of The Walking Dead but I never watched it or read it, until I played the game. So the game was my first experience of the series. I only played it because a friend told me about it, and said how it was great and such. Now before I played The Walking Dead I wasn't really much of a "zombie fan" like I am now. I thought I could survive a zombie apocalypse alone, and never thought of the things such as morality, other people, hostility, etc.
So when I played The Walking Dead I was submerged in a world I didn't know. I tried my best to keep my morality, but hot damn was it hard. I kept Lilly around, I tried to look after Clementine, I tried to be nice to people, etc.
But when the flashback scene happened, I was happy but crying as I was reminiscing kinda what I was like back then and how my decisions have changed now. (I kinda let Luke die).
Also that ending. I cannot believe Jane lied, I shouldn't have shot Kenny - It was all my fault, especially reading the Kenny endings and realizing I was wrong and Wellington was real. Fuck. Well I cannot wait for Season Three. One of the most amazing episodes to date for the series, I hope one day I can re-play season one and two in a continuous play-through.
