Will There Be A Time Lapse In Season 3?
What I mean by this is, in season 2 episode 1 it started off with Clementine, Christa and Omid by some restrooms, Omid ends up getting shot by that bitch who held up Clementine then it jumps ahead 16 months later! 16 FUCKING MONTHS that is 1 year and 4 months for anyone who doesn't know months. Allot of people were pissed off at that because when Clementine is stitching up her arm she quotes 'Just like Christa showed me'. We didn't get too see how Christa showed Clementine to stitch her own arm up, and how did Clementines arm get wounded anyway, those details can't be missed out Telltale..
I'm assuming there's gonna be a time lapse from where we left whether it be in Wellington or with Jane at Howes or even by yourself in a herd of walkers with AJ. Maybe the first episode might just be welcoming us back to The Walking Dead and Clementine and AJ and shit but in episode 2/3 I am assuming for there to be a jump in time whether it be 16 months again or even like a year or two. Even right at the end of season 2 there was a time jump of 9 days, that wasn't really bad but think of what Clem had to go through in that nine days if she was on her own with the baby? Think about how she got formula for the baby and clean water, and most importantly warmth for the fucking baby, you all saw it when we left Kenny/Jane it looked about -234 degrees out there, things like this cannot be missed in the next season Telltale.. I'm just saying

We don't know.
The creators don't know yet either. They don't have anything yet.
It's a solid maybe. It would be interesting either way, me thinks, either with or without a time skip. If there is a time skip I think it would benefit them to skip ahead maybe on episode 2 or 3 instead of right away, or at the end of episode 1.
Look... I don't agree with the time skip, but I don't desagree too. AJ will be a baby for the all season? I don't think so. Telltale wants to make him grow up, just like Clemmy. Of course we still will be babysitters, but with a two years old AJ, don't can be so hard.
I agree with you on that, don't do a time skip right on episode 1 again Telltale like you did with season 2
Well they follow the timeline of the comics and if they want to be more in line with the comic, I think there will be a year timeskip.
If a time skip is any longer than 7 months, I'll probably be pissed. I've invested alot in Clem Clem, I want to know and see what she's going through.
Hope there isn't another 16 month time skip.
We could always do the two year skip.
I wouldn't really mind a time skip.
I think it completely depends on how far TT want's to take Clem's story and how many season's.
If they want to continue with Clem as the main character in like 5 season's, then there's no need for any huge time skip's but if Clem's story ends after season, 3 then maybe it start's after 10 years, AJ is 10 and Clem has taught him to be a little ninja zombie slayer who becomes the playable character after Clem dies.
Now, what I want to see is Clem as the main character into 5 seasons or so and have her grow up into a grown woman in charge of some community with AJ as a young man that could eventually become the playable character.
I hope not, then it would kind of destroy Clementine's Character which makes her a unique interesting person. The fact that she is a young girl dealing with the Apocalypse. I think it would be a mistake to age her i think she is fine the way she is now. I'm not looking for another stereotypical Becca character in Season 3.
I basically agree, the story should still focus on Clem as a kid in S3, but if TT makes let's say 5 season's then they should age Clem a bit.
She's that little girl we've all grown to care about and I think most people want to keep that, but I would also like to see Clem grow up a bit in the future.
Alot of people kinda complain about how Clem get's stuck doing everything or doing thing's a 11yo girl shouldn't be able to do. So if we age her let's say 5 or so year's she'll be able to do more thing's, have more skill's which allow's for a wider range of stories.
That is why S1 worked better, Clementine wasn't the main PC, she played as the "Kenny" character for S2.
YES I agree with you George, and to be honest i'd love for things to go back to the way they were in S1, i'm happy with having Clem as a "sidekick" i like her alot but i don't think her "character" is used to the fullest when we control her, i miss being someone like Lee, i'd definetly want to play a Lee like character in Season 3.
Or perhaps TellTalle could Answer my prayers by in the future making a spinoff series where lee isn't bitten, and he keeps on being the PC, on S2 S3 and all the others they'll make, would be pretty interesting to see how different the story would be.
I would like to see Clementine into 5 seasons but if they do get her killed this season, then i don't want there to be a fucking 10 year skip, imagine all the things we would have missed...
Aj Growing up
Aj shooting the gun for the first time
Clementine popping her first zit. I want to see this shit
4 years later
Now she can be an even better (stronger and able) playable character. And since it's 4 years later, and she obviously did a lot of changing in that time, she can be anyone you want! Fuck it!
EDIT: It seems people didn't get that my post was an exaggerated remark aimed at the idiotic 16 month time skip.
No.
I would hate that to death if it did that, the only way possible that I would like to play that game is if somehow Lee was brought back and he was found after those 4 years or something, and i doubt that's gonna happen so I really don't want that to happen
I don't understand, you would prefer that they bring back a dead character before letting Clem age 4 years? I don't think that's very realistic.
Why can't Clem age? if she doesnt remain 11yo forever then she doesn't have any interesting value or what?
Probably, just to be really annoying
they are only allowed to go 2 years maximum because the comics and all
i don't mind as long as it doesn't skip anything important
Dramatic Stare
Yeah
Huh? Lol
There will be a time skip, and telltale knows there will be a time skip. There is only a couple of unlikely scenario's where there wouldn't be one. The first is the next game won't be about Clementine. The second is that they will actually have a story that takes your choices in season 2, and actually makes them permanent which would be awesome. I think it's most likely going to be no matter what your decision was you will be in Wellington in the next game. If you left with Jane, she will have been killed and you ended up there somehow. If you left with Kenny, same thing ect ect.
Not too much because it has to fit into the comic storyline. I think a skip of 6 would be nice, nothing more. Season 3 could take place in the summer instead of fall/winter for once
I imagine a year should pass, so Clementine can recover from the recent events in Season Two and we can see and identify with a slightly older AJ. However, a few months could do it.
I agree, all time skips are is lazy writing. Simple as that. There were plenty of other ways to get round the dreaded time jump, but instead tell-tale went for the easy option.
In all honesty, they must have known they would get stick for it. Especially seeing as Omid got killed off as well. Obviously though tell-tale think they know better than anyone else, and so even ignore constructive criticism.
As for Season Three, I hope they don't go down that road again. However, because of the amount of endings they might not have much choice this time round. On the other hand, if tell-tale are thinking of going down a new road with The Walking Dead, then maybe we won't know at all what happens to Clementine regardless of what ending each of us had.
If that is the case though, I certainly wouldn't be buying it. In my opinion, tell-tales version of The Walking Dead is Clementine. Take her out of the equation, and its just another boring Zombie story. One that I wouldn't be interested in.
Will tell-tale risk alienating many, many customers, fans and potential customers by not having Clementine as protagonist of Season Three. Only time will tell.
Or, rather than lazy writing, Telltale does exactly what their many, many customers demanded. Quicker episodes. Remember all the threads made during season's 1 and 2? all the complaint's that they wern't released monthly as was the origional plan?
Perhap's it was just easier to time skip in order to to get the episode's on our hand's. It's much easier to say "16 months later" than write and develop all that time with Christa and explain what happened to the baby.
But then of course people complain about not enough character development or too much time skipping but they still demand quicker episode's. It's pretty much a lose/lose for Telltale in that regard!
I would prefer if they didn't do a huge time skip by four years because that would ruin the entire game, maybe there would still be the zombie apocalypse with Clem being 15 and Aj being 4, but still ME personally I like to connect with the characters more than killing zombies over and over again.
What I was meaning by bring Lee back was if somehow Clem found him, maybe he got out of the locks which i doubt happened, and that's what I was trying to suggest. Was that I would only be considerably okay with the 4 year skip if Lee came back, and he won't so I would hate the season
I believe the "nine days later" time skip in Episode 5 was important. Season 3 could shortly resume after the ending we got.
I'd say yes it has something to do with where we last left off in the story combined with how long the next season came out. So we're looking at 2 years again
I feel the exact same way. They take Clementine out of The Walking Dead Game it's basically taking Rick Grimes and Darryl out of The Walking Dead Show.
I have no doubt that Clementine will eventually pass on without us but this is not the season that it's gonna be
i dont want a time skip, but at the same time i do. i want clem to really be more able to do some shit. but at the same time the endings make for it not to be a very larger time skip like S2
Accoeding to what I've read, telltale will not be ready to release Season 3 until late in 2015, or 2016.
So in light of that information, It would seem fitting that there would be a timeskip in the game, to acknowledge the real passage of time between games.
You all need to recognize that its these demands and expectations that are likely responsible for the things you didn't like in season 2. If I were the writers I'd kill off Clem in s3 episode 3 just to see how many of you babies would jump ship, and screw you for doing so or even saying you would. You are putting a writers choke collar on TTG, and then you wonder why their story seems limited or all over the place. Have faith in the writers and stop with this entitlement garbage.
Second, I think one of the reasons this season was not great was because TTG had a huge task on their hands: make another game but with an 11 year old instead of a full grown adult man. Uhh... Thats incredibly difficult, and if you didn't like this season imagine the one with all the ideas that got put on reserve. You want them to use the same character, unchanged, and expect them to write decent material? Ya'll need to be reasonable.
I personally am ready to see a teenage, young adult clem.
A time lapse would be pretty goddamn useless at this point because AJ wouldn't become playable and it wouldn't really have a difference on clementine, unless telltale plans on giving her her first period lol
goclemsperiod
GO GO CLEMMY'S PERIOD
Famous critically acclaimed novels like The Kite Runner use time-skips, so I'm pretty sure your opening two sentences is objectively wrong.
