If you could
delete a MAJOR thing from one episode, what would it be?
I would delete the train from Episode 3 because it made getting to Savannah too easy! But the bad thing we wouldn't have met Omid and Christa

I'd delete the frozen lake from episode 5.
The train puzzle, it slowed all of the momentum that the episode was building up and brought the episode to a grinding halt. It took one of the best written episodes in the series and made it one of my least favorite episodes to play. I'm not against putting puzzles in, as long as they can be beneficial to the story, and the train felt (to me at least) like the writers were trying to put in a puzzle just to put in a puzzle and make the episode a little longer, not to help the overall story.
Delete the escape plan plot in S2:E3, and instead have the group spend the entire episode inside Carver's community for the sake of backstory building, more character development with every character alive at this point, and explore Carver's characterisation (as well as his team) to make him less one-dimensional and less obnoxiously evil.
Delete Sarah's both deaths.
If I could, I'd delete THE STRANGER(along with his family). This would prevent LEE's death and the breaking of the group. Clementine goes missing, Ben dies, Kenny gets lost, Omid and Christa get seperated and more importantly Lee gets bitten while looking for Clementine. The group would be on their way to safety on Kenny's BOAT and everyone would'd been alive.
Nick's episode 4 death. It's really the only thing I can complain about.
Delete Ep4 and Ep5 of Season 2 and have the Carver plot last all season. That plus getting rid of Jane and Kenny so the Cabin Group's character development didn't get completely ruined.
I'd delete Amid The Ruins and No Going Back from existence. And delete Kenny from this season.
Kenny, Jane or Amid The Ruins... hmm I'm stumped
Ben removing the hatchet from the door in Around Every Corner, because that scene is...
Seriously, they could have had walkers enter Crawford in a much better way that didn't require Ben doing something so indefensibly stupid that it felt like the game momentarily became a sitcom. Almost all of Ben's other actions up to this point were justifiable, and actually fit with his established character, what with his cowardice and non-confrontational personality. This moment, on the other hand, is simply there as a plot device to allow walkers into the school, whilst giving people yet another reason to hate Ben. But I just can't use this scene against him, when it's existence is literally an excuse to use Ben as a scapegoat for something again. They even take that fact in pride; the name of that chapter is "Ben screws up."
Sarah's second death in Amid The Ruins, because that is just about the only moment that fully feels like it was an afterthought. It damn near feels like there was next to no effort put in to making this death have any weight or impact whatsoever. Hell, it feels like there was barely an effort to have it make sense. You can say what you want about Nick's death, but at least people actually reacted in some capacity to it. Hell, people even react to Sarah's first death. But this death? Not a single person even cares, nor directly mentions it happening afterwards. The most we get is Luke shouting Sarah's name as she dies, and a handful of characters briefly mentioning her, without any reference to the actual death itself. I can get behind the "no time to mourn" concept, but that doesn't excuse the fact that they don't even make an effort to mourn period. She literally just died an agonizing, brutal death directly below them. Surely someone would have thought "Man, that's fucked up"
Sarah and Nick being made determinant, or at least, being made determinant so soon after the loss of their father/father-figure. The deaths of Carlos and Pete had the potential to mean something important, since both of them had a relative that would have been affected personally by the death, more so than the others. But since Nick and Sarah immediately become determinant after these deaths, the chance for these deaths to lend themselves to the development of Nick/Sarah's characters are cut short, making the deaths feel a bit wasted.
Episode 3, Season 1. Re-write that episode. I hate that they had my girl, Lilly leave the game. Instead of having Lilly kill Carley/Doug, they should have continued to build tension between her and Kenny, and had Lilly abruptly kill Duck for being bit. That would have made more sense, since it would have been an eye for an eye instead of a cheap way to get rid of Carley or Doug to make room for Christa, Omid, and Charles. The argument or fight after that would have been awesome. And don't have her leave like that! Have her get separated, because of the horde in Savannah, and leave her whereabouts a mystery until a later date.
Let's be best friends forever.
Well I think it's pretty clear that Jane left because of Sarah's second death; she couldn't handle kids like Sarah or Jaime dying. When Sarah did die right after they had gotten her out of the trailer, Jane just couldn't take it and left, not wanting to see the same thing happen to Clem. It's funny because you're right; no other character actually really seems to care about Sarah's death or says any significant dialogue or makes any significant decision because of it...except for Jane. And people still call her soulless.
Oooooh. I like. Especially with having Lilly shoot Duck abruptly; makes a lot of sense from a story perspective like you said. I wish they'd done all that!
Like poor little Nick, everybody forgot about him when he dies at the ski lodge, and he only gets just a bit of a mention the second time around ;_;
And I think you're right on the stuff with Jane.
Pete's death. This way he makes it to the end of the Season with us and cruises off into the sunset with Clem and AJ. Fuck Wellington, fuck Howe's, fuck the ski lodge, even. I just wanted to stay with my buddy Pete
I'm only 26, and I've experienced a lot of death in my family, and everyone reacts differently. Some people harden themselves, some people try to get closer with their family, and some people find other ways. I fall in the hardened category, and I can say without a doubt, it's hard to let people in. People like me; we still care, but we don't get too close so it doesn't hurt as bad. That's how I see Jane; she hardened herself after her sister died. And as I've said before, you don't soften yourself up to just anybody once you're hardened. Jane softened up to Clem, because she cares deeply for her. She's not the monster some people think.
It's also funny that, in comparison to every other character, Jane has known Sarah for the shortest amount of time
Anyways, even though Jane's one of the few to acknowledge the second death, it still isn't that much of a reaction or acknowledgement. She doesn't appear to be all that shell-shocked or shaken by it, which you'd kind of expect, given it's a near-repeat of her past. She just parts on a few somber words, mentioning Sarah's name once, and leaves. It's more than you can say for most of the other characters, sure, but it still isn't all that much. I'd still say Nick's death gets more of a reaction from the characters than this one does. Clementine's pretty bummed about having to put him down, she sounds sad when she's trying to tell Luke about it, Luke has his line about it, Rebecca asks where Nick is and Luke breaks the news to her, and Rebecca actually cries. Also, if you count it as carrying over, in episode 5 when Luke's talking about how everyone he knew is gone, he mentions Nick's name before everyone else's. Also, if you drank that moonshine with Nick, Clementine will mention that to Jane, and she sounds pretty sad when she mentions it.
Oh yeah, Nick's first death is another thing I should add to the list
I guess I forgot about that one, because I never chose it (and neither did anyone else really)
Luke's death. Make it so you could end up with this guy in the end. Then just have an ending with Clem, Jane, and Luke at Howes. Oh and AJ I guess. Let's just ignore how they got there.
I'd take away Ben's death in Episode Five of the Walking dead.
I wonder who Luke would side with at the Jane and Kenny fight scene.
Man, I really liked Pete. Wish there was a way to cut his foot off.
Maybe Jane, but the only good reason I can think of is because they had sex and he thinks there is some sort of relationship after that.
I can see that happening, though I feel like Luke would be like Clementine, y'know, trying to break up the fight until a certain point.
