  • well, that trailer kinda snatched away my pathetic hope that Sarita might have a slim chance at surviving this episode if we cut her arm

  • This.

    In this picture you see Jane killing the walkers that are invading, but wait a minute. There's a walker that's crawling (crawler) straight towards the camera.

    Let's go to a different screenshot...

    Those walkers are trying to enter that house, but what's causing it? Noise. And by noise, I mean a human being making noise. What exact human being...?

    Sarah.

    Sarah could be in there, and Clementine and Jane are trying to save her which I think will end up being a determinate choice.

    "She's going to get someone killed!" - Jane. She could say that prior to choosing whether we should save Sarah or not.

    "You gotta get past that walker without drawing all the others, what are you gonna do?" - Jane. If we choose to save Sarah, Jane will end up saying that, which ties in with one of the Episode 4 achievements 'Path Less Travelled Learned new survival skills'.

    Just a little theory. :)

  • It was word play on the way she called Mike an idiot for fr doing the right thing. Did i really need to explain that?

    There's no need to call someone an idiot for misunderstanding something.

  • No, you didn't need to explain anything considering it was still wrong. That type of wordplay wasn't needed, actually, wordplay in general wasn't needed.

  • You know, maybe it's possible Luke might try to snap Kenny out of it too. Luke's lost his family and Nick envied him for being able to 'keep moving'. Gavin said an 'incident' with those two characters happens, so maybe that could be it in that Luke says something to Kenny to stop him from giving up, like how Lee had to snap Kenny out of it in Episode 3 to accept his son was dying and needed him.

    But it could be what LoneWolfe said too, Rebecca's baby coming might give Kenny another reason to not give up if a baby and mother's life is on the line.

  • I'm sorry but you're getting way to worked up on something that doesn't concern you. Crips seems to have taken it with a good mood because he/she understood they made a way too quick conclusion on what was happening.

  • Something that doesn't concern me? You've posted an insult on the internet for everyone to see.

    Crisps ignored the insult and continued on with the subject. All I said, was that there's no need to insult anyone. I'm not getting worked up, by the look or it, you are.

    Another find.

    Look at this, the scene when Mike's fighting with a walker (I hope he'll surive to the end though):

    It's a grave. You can see the inscription - "INFANTRY; PVT CO" which means it's resting place of a soldier. We know that Parker's Run is a Civil War site, and if the graveyard is there, I'm guessing we gonna bury Sarita (and probably Rebbecca) among the soldiers.

  • I'm not sure that the two buildings are the same. In the top picture, the door appears to have blue frames and the windows have blue curtains. Also, you can see the outline of trees in the open door-frame, suggesting that the door is close to trees. Looking at the bottom picture, the building shown has a thin white door-frame, and there aren't any trees nearby the door, only trees behind the building. There is a window to the far-right of the house, and there is no indication of one in a similar position in the top picture, although that might be because it is out of shot. Either they enter the same building through a rear-entrance, or they are two different buildings altogether

    Doors are kinda similar. Red, with a triangle on them.

    If that happens, Fuck Luke.

    If Luke wants Clementine to leave Kenny again, I am definitely going to support Kenny and it seems that Luke might say to leave Kenny before we try to find Sarah :c

  • Half of what you're saying is just the camera perspective

  • To add to your theory, that looks like a soldier that got fucked up real bad (dog tags weren't invented until the Civil War).

    Also, notice the bottom wording. 11 MI CMU. MI is the postal code for Michigan (Wellington, anyone?), 11 may be his division/regiment number, and CMU... well IDK about that. It could mean Central Michigan University for all I know.

  • IIRC, he has a leg brace. His leg's fucked up, apparently, and we have to choose between him and Rebecca.

    Or will something pull him back from the edge?

    We need more of this kind of thing in WALKING DEAD. Characters in this game have been given enough reason to quit. It's time to give them a reason to keep going.

  • Luke says he just wants to survive, well Clementine is really the only reason he managed to escape Carver's Community, so I think he should take Clementine's thoughts and feelings into consideration before he makes any quick conclusions.

    If that happens, Fuck Luke.

  • That'd makes sense for me. Wonder how far is Michigan from Parker's Run (or where exactly the current position of the group is), and I mean on foot, not counting this Nate-ish truck from trailer.

  • Clem put the drawings in her pocket.

  • He went back to Carver's community for them btw. He wouldn't have went there without rest and food if he was so selfish and only wanted to survive. He obviously cares for a few of them, not Kenny, because let's face it, you won't give two craps about a person you met 2-3 days ago.

  • Her "No" sounds really really weird too, like it was taken from part of a sentence. I think it's just fr the trailer.

    I think the last scene in the trailer when Luke says, “Hey, you okay?” and Clem says “No” is misleading. Watch it again. You don’t see Lu

  • The scary part is there's a possibility that if we cut off her arm, she dies right there and then and will not even have the chance to say goodbye

  • And that's the way telltale shoud do this. If he was a white knight... I don't know - pretty boring.

    Maybe Carver was right... Luke might very well be a very charismatic manipulator, like Justin, and not a white knight, gentlemanly figure. He's probably just a selfish asshole, with the hints placed throughout the season...

  • Let's hope so...

  • No need to call someone an idiot for misunderstanding something, I understand it was a joke, but it can still be offensive.

    I think you're the idiot. Mike is holding it so it is easier to kill. He doesn't have any weapons so it is easier that way.

  • That'd be too powerful.

    Like if Georgie was urban.

  • He has the pimp hand, he needs no weapons.

    PoopBrown posted: »

    Don't worry Mike's an urban he can handle it.

  • Hmm... We're still in Virginia I think. A lot of the fighting in the Civil War happened there because the Union wanted to drive through to get to Richmond. That didn't work out and you have a shitload of casualties and shit.

  • Yeah, I think Luke keeps Clem around because she can handle herself just fine, unlike most of the remaining group, who are either dead (or determinately dead like Nick), pregnant, or just unable to take care of themselves. She's small and tough and useful to have by his side. Though I do think he genuinely cares about her and her safety... at least I hope he does, lol.

    I guess Luke sees himself as a leader, which he is. But he's very, I don't know, indecisive. Like you don't kill dogs, you don't kill evil men who run prison camps, but you can leave an injured ally behind or do the morally wrong thing for the good of the group. Idk. I'm still hoping Luke is a good person though! I want him to be!!

  • The sorrow in her voice is probably due to the fact that someone/some people died.. Perhaps it has to something to do with the baby and Rebecca? Or Sarita.. Hmmmm.

    At the end: Luke to Clem: Hey, You okay? No! What happened here? I think after watched the trailer, the half group gonna die in this episode.

  • We will have some badass Kenny and Mike moments. Man I cant wait!
