Read my old character impressions from Episode 1 of season 2...
Recently came across my impressions of the new characters from episode 1 and season 2...gotta say i was pretty spot on for everyone except Alvin. Guy went out like a badass.
Winston - Loved how he underestimated Clementine and got downright frustrated. That was him, right?
Sam - Instantly reminded of Call of Duty: Ghosts. Fitting twist at the end, though. That death scene was fucking rough though, I tell you.
Luke - I have a strange feeling he and Clementine will be at odds somewhere down the line, much like with Lee and Kenny/Lilly. Right now he seems supportive, probably because he felt super bad about how he treated her when he thought she was bitten. Great bit of characterization there; even the nice guys aren't perfect.
Pete - Reminds me of a less asshole version of Hershel. I felt like leaving him at the end of episode 1 was the obvious choice given the zoom-in on his bitten leg, so obviously I saved him. Looks like he's gonna cut off his leg too. Though he's conspicuously absent in the rest of the next episode teaser...anyways he seems a pragmatic fellow and he could teach Clementine a thing or two.
Nick - He's a pissed off kid, like a more honest version of Ben. I think he's a good kid and he's set up for an interesting arc provided he lives.
Alvin - I appealed to his intelligence and he seemed easily intimidated by Clementine, but even more so by Rebecca. Kind of a pussy. I don't expect him to be very helpful.
Carlos - The Larry of this season? Though I thought he'd be nicer to Clem, but I guess nobody fucks with his daughter and gets away with it.
Rebecca - No Lilly at all. She could be redeemable as a character though. Her pregnancy is definitely going to be a source of conflict in season 2, so I'm interested to see how that plays out.
Sarah - I can imagine only terrible, terrible things to happen to her. She seems like this season's Duck, and dumb kids never last long.

Yep an interesting arc, until it was abruptly cut off if you saved him.
