The Finale. Your Story, Your Opinions, Your Predictions{spoilers}

So I kept my feels heavily guarded convinced Clementine was going to die and came out wooping and cheering. And So satisfied with the ending I dont even want to play any other Choices.

Clem started off crawling for the baby her sole focus was on the baby which Luke didnt notice. Then at the last minute Jane came back to save us!!! JANE! I Love her because she reminds me of a roleplay character from The Walking Dead Game RP I played. Arvo's still around. I anticipated a 1v1 Clem vs Arvo battle this episode because everyone else was dead. Yet Everyone {cept becca{ survived. Did not see that coming. So as we walked Clem chatted with Jane. I wanted to hug her and say YAY YOU'RE BACK! But Chris Rock's "What do you want a Cookie?" Line was sooo tempting. Still we made amends. Jane was my main girl for life!

Now comes just some shooting the shit bonding time. A huge friggin development for Kenny was turning down Rum. Kenny would lap up pruno from a toilet bowl any other time but with a baby depending on him he's gone Sober. Clem got to listen to some dirty talk and reveal she had a "Vague" idea of what it meant and even told Jane she knew that Jane "Made it" with Luke. Clem drank some Rum and is one of the adults. But Kenny Dissapproves.

Jane's story about the Sugar crystals and Broken class gave some insight into her. I know she talked about her sister and bullying her sister in the previous episode. But Mostly it didnt give too much to what type of Person Jane was before the end. Knowing she would break into her parents liquor cabinet get fratboy drunk and eat Glass. Shows who she was. I'm not saying what I gleaned from that because You might say she drank to escape a bad family life or social life. While I might think she just just drank like that to be "Cool". Diffrent opinions and i wont judge anyones. But it showed us more of her.

When Kenny got upset I drank the rum I reminded him that the shit i've seen and done makes a little rum seem tame. I used his care of the baby to get him to join the group. And things were great. Then we went to the shelter and things fell down. I'll be the first to say I'm not a big fan of Luke. I hate Kennys black or white mentality but Luke's little passive aggressive glare always pissed me off. So when he sunk away I felt like that was one less stress on Clem's head. Plus Bonnie and Jane could just cut out the middleman.

But as I froze to death waiting for fire I saw the sneer in Arvo's eyes and all sympathy for him {which clem had but i didnt] left. I told Mike to let Kenny go. I talked with Kenny about travel and Jane about Kenny. Even shared a cigarette with Bonnie Clem's really growing up. Then that night I saw Mike Bonnie and Arvo trying to steal the Truck. I was firm with them. I hated Mike for using my own tactics. How Lee took the gun from Cancer Boat Thief and How he talked to the bandits. How Jane talked to Asshat, How Clem talked to Arvo. By that point I would have shot him in the face for patronizing me. But instead I could only call for Jane and Kenny. Then Arvo shot me.

As I lay dying I noticed Bonnies reaction and Mike coming over to her and Bonnie's "Get your hands off me!" Well that little Trio broke up at least.

And Then came the dream. God imagine if TTG just ended with the RV. What would that say about nine year old Clementines mind if she dreamt all of season 2. [and also uh meeting christa and omid before they did] That would be a whole new story of precognition but I digress.
I chose to tell lee to tell me I wouldnt have to hurt anyone. Mostly because I thought it said "Anymore" and that sounded vaguely ominous. But in retrospect I should have chose the never leave me option and have lees silence be heartbreaking.

So We wake up and oh look Jane and Kenny are fighting. I ask about Bonnie because even though she is one of the thieves i dont blame her just Mike and attempted murderer Arvo. I try to quell the fight without picking sides but when it comes down to it. I kill Kenny even accepting that Jane Murdered AJ because AJ like Duck never would have made it in this world.... And Instead AJ is alive But I love Jane too much to abandon her and besides Kenny was glad to die especially when I told him he'd see his family again. So we went to Howes and decide to start our new Community. I invite the family in because you can't start a community with two people. Clementine is about to build the Settlement of Haven. I like the whole "Is that your kid?" and choosing "You don't want to know" Giving off the impression that wherever Clem came from she ended up having a baby. What horrible place would be like that? {Thats probably the one thing Kirkman hasnt dealth with yet in the comics cannibals and psychopaths is one thing but forced breeding especially of Clem's age that's squicky.] The woman jumphugs Jane throwing everyone off. I assume that the guy got to work dragging out the bodies before they all had lunch. The kid tries to engage Clem in childlike banter and also Bookending the talk about her hat from the first episode. But Clems too mature to pay much attention focusing on the gun. Clem's wary but her new society will soon be as bustling as Wellington but less menacing {A friend in the roleplay told me Wellingtons only seen by a massive wall and only lets in Clem and AJ. giving off a real Terminus vibe.] I Hope season 3 has Clem dealing with both social aspects and being the leader of an entire community. Will she become Carver? Or will she become something better? She's got Jane at her side and an appropriately aged companion to be relationship fodder if it's set a few years in the future although I don't think my Clem would have time for "kissing stuff". She's got a community to run after all.

But thats my thoughts how about yours?

  • Played Kenny' ending and abandoning jane and the killing kenny after he killed Jane. I feel all the endings are alot like Deus Ex Human Revolution. No matter which ending you choose in that game Adam's speech makes you truely believe you picked the right ending and thats for each one even if you just replay picking the ending you didnt choose last time his conviction convinces you it's the right ending. All of the endings for S2 seem to have the same effect. Queen Clem of Howes, Safe in Wellington, Kenny and Clem become dad and daughter, Clementine and the baby survive on their own. All feel well done.

  • I was playing borderlands 2 and Flesh-Stick reminded me of Carver
    "I'm glad you had to watch. It made you strong like me!"

    I know this isnt about the finale since Carvers been dead two episodes now but noones posting in this thread and i'm lonely :C

    Also What do you think S2 Special episode will be?
