Applause to TT for the finale of S2
I just finished Episode 5 of S2, and I felt the need to express my feels.
Overall it seemed like a good mounting episode, with a duel approaching. After Luke's death, it was pretty clear who would be the "Yin and Yang" in the end. I played it from my heart and feelings and went mostly with Kenny in the arguments, as I saw the others mostly trying to provoke him. I also was on his side with the whole Alvo situation. He betrayed us, and attacked us and indirectly got Luke and Bonnie killed.
Putting that aside, when it came down to the final showdown, the fight between Jane and Kenny, the whole situation actually got my heart pumping like I was playing some big adrenaline game (props to TT on that... it takes a lot to get me so involved). I tried to separate them, and in the end I choose to not shoot Kenny (when Jane came in without the baby, she said something on the line of "now you'll see what he's really like", that made me raise an eyebrow at her... I felt like she was doing this on purpose to provoke him - seems like I the gut feeling was correct).
And then, the final scene when Kenny urges Clem to stay with the baby at Wellington, I got real chocked up... it was his moment... he was finally at peace to know he did something right, he managed to protect the baby and Clem and get them to a better place.... even if I really wanted Clem to stay with him, I couldn't refuse. I couldn't take away that moment from him.
Bravo Telltale! Thank you for another amazing ride! I am at the same impasse as I was at the ending of Season1. I want to play the whole thing again to see the different scenarios, but it just felt so good, that I don't want to ruin the choices I made and the memories they created. Now there's a dilemma, hah!
Can't wait for what's next!
-raises a glass of wine to you- Keep up the great work !!

To telltale for making another great season of the walking dead
I'm extremely happy I can be a part of all this. It's an amazing experience.
Not as good as season 1 (That would have been almost impossible to top in my opinion) There were some unexplained things, but I enjoyed it and Clem and Kenny have a good moment if you leave with him (My Playthrough), I didn't go into Wellington because the lady said they couldn't accept more people so I'm thinking that place will end up like Crawford sooner or later....
Honestly, aside from the plot device that was Arvo and the degree of stupid he seemed to infect most of the characters with, I enjoyed this episode for what it was. I agree that the Clem and AJ at Wellington ending just felt right as a perfect way to close out the season and Kenny's story.
Something bad could go down in that community but I don't think anything like Crawford or else they wouldn't bother taking Clem and AJ in the first place. Also providing supplies to the rejected. I'm guessing they have some degree of self sustainability but only for a certain amount of people. So they don't normally invite people in but can afford to give some relief to the few people who make it there. Whatever is keeping that place going isn't the social Darwinism that inevitably brought about Crawford's downfall.
Yeah it's not that bad, but I feel something will happen that's why in my playthrough I had Clem leave with Kenny....
Agreed. Kenny simply walks over the horizon, his ultimate fate remaining an eternal mystery.
