Also, earlier built ideas got abandoned. Like Sarah learning to use a gun, Carver remembering Clem's words at the cabin, the Kenny vs Luke s… moreituation, EP4's original story on the title slide, Clem finding bullets in EP4, and the Russian shootout's original aftermath. Nick Breckon should've just went ahead and wrote all of Season 2 by his original vision. Then Season 2 would've been as good as it was meant to be.
Ugh, somebody start a petition for the original plot; I want it back. The second half of Season 2 is so bad, it made me cry over how bad it is after the finale. I miss my feelings after Episode 2, when I considered Season 2 my favorite game of the year it actually hurts looking back at them, because it feels like a completely different game.
I blame Clem's cool jacket; that thing was cursed to doom the plot as soon as she put it on.
i think they shouldve kept carver around, like at the end of episode 3 they shouldve made it so kenny just beats the crap out of him and lea… moreving him for death but carver manages to escape, they couldve had the 400 days characters help carver track down clems group and ambush them
So it takes five days to reach there destination on foot, but only 30 minutes by truck? That doesn't make any sense. I hope i'm not confusing you here.
Wait then how does it take five days to reach the ski lodge from the cabin on foot, but it only takes 30 minutes to reach the lodge from how… moree's via truck and vice versa?
What are you trying to ask? I'm confused.
The cabin to the lodge obviously takes 5 days since they're walking on foot, then the lodge to Howe's is obviously 30 minutes since they're on a truck.
Clementine was captured late at night, and arrived at Howe's in the evening. Allowing for at least one toilet break, that's still one full day. Besides, the ski-lodge is in Virginia and Howe's is implied to be in Tennessee.
The amazing thing is that it only took Luke one extra day to catch up to the truck.

It's the term Carver uses for the zombie horde in Episode 3. My complaint is that virtually nothing about that scene makes any sense. For example:
The people of Howe's, despite being heavily disciplined and having lived through hordes before, suddenly lose their shit once Carver disappears and start wasting their ammo on firing willy-nilly.
People start running through the fucking horde without getting caught
Bonnie unloads her gun INSIDE THE HORDE AND NOBODY CARES
The Russians were put there for one simple reason. Telltale needed some sort of threat, specially so they could get rid of a few characters.
I can imagine the writer sat there thinking to himself.
Question - Okay who do Americans hate? Answer - Russians.
Yes they could have gone for gay men, atheists or Iraqis but that would have been too risqué.
So they went down the old cold war route, hoping no one would notice.
Trouble was people did notice, like all the other plot holes and inconsistencies.
They clearly wanted Kenny to be edgy without being off-puttingly racist (after all, he's got an Indian girlfriend, ergo he CAN'T ever be racist!!!) and decided no one would care if Arvo was white.
Just imagine if the Russians were literal Mexicans. Or Chinese. Or whatever. Suddenly he'd seem a lot more bigoted...

First 2 episodes were amazingly promising.
something went seriously wrong after that.
Carver was so poorly presented though as a villain that I don't think he was worth the effort to track down.
So it takes five days to reach there destination on foot, but only 30 minutes by truck? That doesn't make any sense. I hope i'm not confusing you here.
The Russian nazis made no sense to me at all they just seemed so random, maybe their story will have a prequel otherwise wtf
I don't follow.

The Russian Stand-Off was garbage, much like the Storm was.
Storm? Maybe I'm just having a severe lapse of memory here, but what do you mean by storm?
Especially when the Russian with tattoos on his head seemed to be the first to shoot, and somehow he hit no one.
