  • "I just wanna survive and that means picking the "right" sides." Could that mean Luke isn't as good we thought?

    Also, did Jane's face change? Maybe it's because it was washed up, but...her facial features look much more soft.

    At the beginning of the trailer with the rating it says sexual themes, is this Rebecca giving birth or could there be some stuff happening here.... can't wait for this episode... what do you guys think is going to happen?

  • Out of all the worst possible environments to be giving birth, "surrounded by flesh-eating ghouls" has to be close to the top.

    The part where Rebecca is having the baby looks fecking awsome It's creepy. Very creepy. But I agree with you, it's gonna be fun.

  • Who the fuck is Arvo

  • Guys, I've noticed something. There is a playground. Carousel and sandpit, right here:

    Wasn't a seesaw swing somewhere among achievements' pictures?

  • All I hope is that Kenny's group consists of Mike and maybe Jane. If it had either of those two... I'm joining him for sure ;)

    Kenny's group is Clem and maybe Rebbecca she seems to trust Kenny, i would honestly pick Kenny, the cabin group dragged him in that whole mess, lost his friends and her loved one, staying with Ken is the less Clem could do :l

  • MAH GERD! Can I call you PoopBrownGamer93?!

    Well we all know Kenny to lack the trait, Rationality

    This was a great trailer from TellTale, absolutely loving it. The end scene with Kenny and Mike walking towards the walkers is definitely badass. The tone from the trailer suggests the next episode will continue the depressing, chaotic theme of the series so far. Kenny sounds like he has lost his fighting spirit, Mike (or whatever his name is) is going to have a larger role - thank goodness, because he has a good personality that should be extended upon -, Rebecca will be struggling with labour and the grief from Alvin's death, Jane is going to become an untrustworthy character - she doesn't sound like she would save the group if they were in trouble, but maybe Clem - , and someone might have to be left behind

    There's a lot of talk about a possible choice between Luke and Kenny. The issue is that both of them want to take care of Clem in different ways, with Kenny perhaps being more cautious and protective than Luke. Both are great characters, but they have their own detrimental flaws. Kenny can be fiery and too much of a risk-taker himself, putting himself in danger and Clem too. And, because of his injury, his ability to protect Clem has diminished greatly. Also, his never-say-die attitude seems to have been replaced by a depressed and near submissive one, which could maybe be affected by the final choice from episode 3. This makes him even more of a risk to Clem, because he has lost a lot of the fighting spirit that has saved him and his friends for so long.

    As for Luke, he has no disability and has been shown to be a good fighter. But, he isn't leadership material. This is first shown when he supposedly made a bad business choice that affected Nick and others badly. In a more related way, his inexperience is shown during his attempted rescue of the group in the past episode. He doesn't get any sleep, doesn't think the plan through and ends up getting himself caught. And, we still don't know what he was doing during the group's capture. If he did flee, then that immediately makes me question his commitment to the group. He could have been trying to avoid capture because he felt he couldn't rescue them at the time and was waiting for a better chance, which is justifiable. Another drawback is his reckless nature. His poor decision-making and impulsiveness makes for a dangerous liability, especially if one of the group got bitten. I don't think he would be able to make a life-or-death call in that situation. However, Luke seems willing to treat Clem as more than a kid, through trusting her in combat (from before and during the bridge scene in episode 2) and definitely wants to protect her.

    Ultimately, both have similar chances of endangering Clem and themselves. If the choice was made, based on current knowledge I would go with Luke, because Kenny doesn't seem able to protect Clem now and I'm worried that he might change in the next two episodes for the worse. Jane is a proven survivor, but she seems more of a lone wolf. She is shown to care about Clem and she might even offer to take her under her wing, but she is untrustworthy and has a worrying coldness about her - her being merciless to Troy despite the fact that he seemed to care deeply for her is an example of this, and I don't want Clem to be exposed to that nature.

    **EDIT: ** Also, the ending conversation with Luke just screams "something bad is gonna happen." It could just be purely about their situation, however since Nick is a determinant character, I think he will end up dying somehow in this episode before the talk. Also, Clem saying "No" like that while looking blankly implies that she is thinking about something bad while saying it. I don't think that there will be a positive response to Luke's question for us to select, so there must be something up. Maybe it is the group beginning to divide. Regardless, there is something in that final scene that makes it even more interesting than it should be, can't really explain it.

    I'm only attached to three people and two of them are dead. Alvin because he gave me the juice box, Carlos because... CEASE TO FUNCTION! And Sarah because of pity.

    Edit: in the cabin group exclusively

    I feel like clem would have better chances of surviving with jane but since I'm now all attached to this season's group I'm not gonna leave them for my own good.

  • Oh no. Rebecca's having her baby!

    There's a new character--they're wearing glasses and have a leg brace. Pretty androgynous looking from behind.

  • At 1:17 a sign of a Season 3? XD

  • Same here, but im under no illusion that its gonna be an easy choice no matter how much I want to help kenny, its going to be a hard one, i dont think its gona be a case of kenny getting a bit hot under the collar and luke and co saying its time to leave him, I think its going to get real bad........ mind bending bad... even kenny striking clem, this one is going to be a mknd crusher

    I really! REALLY!!! want to side with Kenny! he's my family. but everything will depend on how things are going to happen. as Jane said: Don

  • The seesaw achievement was for episode 5 I think :)

  • Still...no...Eddie...but...

    I want him...

    please

  • Well he could say it when he dies, like I could see it being a callback to the conversation you had earlier, and it shows the player he's alright with dying and that he's content with it (oh god pls no)

    PoopBrown posted: »

    Well we know Saritas going to die if you didn't cut her arm off for sure. Also that "It feels peaceful" is not what Kenny says when he dies or something like that :P

  • Episode 5? So... that could be some foreshadowing material...

    I don't care what are Kenny's conditions, once he told me "I'm with you, till the end", so that is how it's gonna be. I'll be with him,till the end.

  • It's a screwdriver, not a icepick, I think

  • I think Jane is going to end up leaving the group cause at the end of the trailer you don't see much of her.

  • If her glasses are under a dead walker, does it mean that she somehow managed to kill her first walker?

    Bonnie maybe?

  • Only Luke and Bonnie have sleeves rolled up.

    This episode's trailer strongly implies on staying/leaving the group, there's gonna be a lot of character development I'd say. Kenny will need help, he's been through a lot, and I'll help him no matter what. Can't leave old friends behind.

    Also, imagine what would Kenny say if you met him after leaving him.. He'd be disappointed in Clem.

  • I hope the scene depicted in the Thumbnail for this episode actually happens.

  • I always thought they were scars. I guess it's dirt.

    Lilacsbloom posted: »

    I am so happy the dirt is gone XD

  • Yeah I noticed that sign as well. I hope it's one of those subtle underlining themes for the episode where Clem will have to make a choice: follow Jane's advice and split when things go bad, or stay and not give up on the group.

  • 'Kenny would be more cautious than Luke' wait what?

    Did we play the same game?

  • That's what I thought. Probably.

  • do you think theres a reason they are not showing luke's face at the end?

  • I agree with you specifically for Eddie.
