My idea on Season 3
I think it's time we focus on a new character for a while. Give Clem a break, bring her back in S4 maybe. Until then, Season 3 should be dedicated to discovering what happened to all the other characters that have gone missing, such as Lilly, Christa, Bonnie and the other 400 Days cast, etc.
I'm thinking... We can pick one of two characters to play as, similar to what TTG's Borderlands has going for it, so we can choose the gender of the playable character for preference purposes. Using this new character, we see something similar to how 400 Days was presented, going through different time periods until it reaches the absolute present time. This can also be used as a means to flesh out any under-developed characters, such as some of the Cabin Crew, Nate, Troy, Molly, Chet, and so on. It would make for an interesting concept, reuniting with familiar people; yet, in their perspectives, they know nothing about us (the player character).
Think about how diverse the different stories could be? Episode 1 would be back at the first days of the apocalypse, Episode 2 could be roaming through the ruins of the Motor Inn, Episode 3 may occur before Season 2 with some insight on Nick's mom and whatnot, while Episode 4 could have the player character following the footsteps of Clem and her group during S2, running into Christa and traveling with her towards Wellington. All to go up to the finale with Episode 5 happening months, maybe years after S2 ends.
Perhaps in the final scene, the Player Character had actually died and reanimated, giving us control of a walker for the first time in the series. We see someone, a stranger, and we're directed towards her. She's cloaked by some shadows or baggy clothing, so we can't really see her face. It's revealed to be Clementine, and her killing the undead Player Character shifts the attention over to her, offering us an epilogue focusing around what Clem's been up to since we last saw her in S2. It'll make for an amazing idea, a single, unknown zombie that had once interacted with all the other characters of the past, and had journeyed as a human being to make it as far as (s)he did, only to die and get unsympathetically slain by Clem while roaming as a walker.
What do you guys think?

Even if Clem isn't the protagonist. I at LEAST want to see her or maybe she can become the deuteragonist. Like maybe depending on the ending how you meet Clem changes.
I extremely agree with the new min character thing, but it might be hard to shift from main characters. For example it wasn't hard to shift from Lee to Clementine because she was already introduced, but I think if they were gonna have a new main character then they would be introduced. Now I haven't played Episode 5 of season 2 yet cause my xbox internet is down but i cant wait for it!!! (But trust me I am extremely curious about Lilly, Christa and Bonnie as well.
You haven't played Episode 5 of Season 2 yet, and you're on the forums!?
GET OUT OF HERE! WHILE YOU'RE STILL SAFE!
Question though we also have to remember, we aren't promised a season 3.
