Also, what PROOF does Sam have about Norma abusing people a la The Governor? As far as I can tell, she lied. YES, Randall was a loose cannon who clearly just wanted to instigate trouble just for shits and giggles, but at least Norma was doing everything in her power to be responsible and try and work things out. Was she stern? Yes. Was she being unfair? NO. Rick in the core series would've been the same way.
See, that was the issue of having a three episode season. We were all just suppose to take Sam's word. It this was a full 5/6 episode season we would have time to talk to the characters to understand their motives and gather enough clues to justify their claims. Sam says Randall and Norma were responsible for the massacre at the yacht while Norma claims it was bandits that caused it. Now while I'll admit it would plausible if Randall did indeed cause the massacre and LIED to Norma that bandits we're the ones but the game, like I said, takes Sam's point of view. Again, it would've been interesting to gather clues.

I personally took it as if Randall did massacre the ferry scavengers and did tell Norma the truth, but these scavengers killed the previous ferry inhabitants and took over, and had Monroe on the scope. Sam also traded supplies with the scavengers a couple of times, which would explain how they knew about Monroe and why they wanted it for themselves.
This includes most of what has been heard about the ferry, while offering a somewhat plausible and logical explanation. It sure has some inconcordances, but it is the best that I can think about, and it kind of makes sense.

I enjoyed Sam's character and her design, don't get me wrong, but this is pretty true. The smartest out of her entire family was Mr. Fairbanks and I'm fucking AMAZED that Sam managed to live 2+ years into the outbreak.

You don't have to put this video on every single thread in this sub forum.
I stopped for now.
About the video, I agree with it. But I'm honestly not even sure if the writers realize how bad Sam fucked up.
It seemed like they wanted us to be on Sam's side and I felt like I was the antagonist of the season.
