I typed up the whole interview in case you don't feel like watching the whole 1 hour and 20 minute interview:

Speaker: There's not enough Clementine

Meli: "I agree"

Meli: (Talking about the alone flashbacks/finger.) "We only saw it get crushed we didn't see it come off....we haven't gotten to that part ye---" Then she gets cut off by the speaker. Another flashback awaiting?

Meli: (Talking about episode length) " I was sad when the first episode ended I was like what the fuck? Really? That was so short! I liked the pace I thought it was a really good pace but I was like... oh. It only took like an hour to play through the first episode. Considering each episode of S2 was about an hour and a half to two hours. So I have to admit I was a little..---

Speaker: "--that's why they released e1 and 2?"

Meli: "....yeaaahh... they did that, uh, well there was so much rewriting these episodes, where, I didn't know what was going to be left in them and what wasn't. They were going in a totally different direction with episode---"

Speaker: "--What was it?" (the direction)

Meli: "--there was a kind of carver-esk character. And it's kind of a bummer because there were some really awesome recordings of that. Kind of the backstory of me and AJ getting separated, and there was some legitimate, like, awesome emotional scenes which I'm sure got cut." Dammit telltale why do you get rid of the good shit. Also, is this character Ava?

Meli: (About episode 2) "This is not to be all about me, but I'm just... for how much dialogue I recorded I was like, oh... clem in the second episode had some great scenes but she kind of seemed to go... just... it was kind of fast."

Meli: (How you feel about not being the playable character) "well... they didn't tell me I wasn't a playable character because technically I still am a playable character, but a first I was like 'oh okay, this 'javy guy' they better write his story really well or else they're going to piss off - which they still have - they're going to piss off a bunch of people with Clem not being the main focus. But once I got into the recordings and the story developed I thought it was actually.... I think it works out." Funny, when she said that last sentence she sounded really unenthusiastic and unsure.

Meli: (About E3) "I don't know what's gonna happen in the next episode, we barely started recording it"

Meli: (About when Clem left TNF) "She (clem) gets to a point were shes like 'this is fucked, I'm out' so she leaves them. So hopefully she hasn't done too much bad with The New Frontier."

Meli: (Talking about recording clementines voice/attitude) "At first it was really dark. Every other word was like 'WELL FUCK YOU' you know. And then the writers were like 'Eh, we need to reel that in a little bit.' But she still cusses which is great." "We went back into the studio to bring back more of the S2 Clem, but then it was too nice. So then we went back in to try AGAIN and it was that definitely low... like, clementines never been overly emotional with her speech unless there is something overly dramatic happening. Ever since Lee/S2 she's been a soft spoken person."

Speaker: So you're saying you just started Episode 3?

Meli: "Yeah I have recorded one scene thus far but we went into the studio and they said "this will probably get totally rewritten, but were gonna go ahead and record this anyways. I wish I could tell you what its about.... (the scene)."

Meli: (about the E3 release date) "I know with all these big games a deadlines I really don't want that to effect this game. I know there are amazingly talented people writing this game so I'm not afraid. I just don 't want them to, you know, say 'we need to get this episode out!' " She's saying she hopes they don't rush the episodes and that she's okay with long waits in between episodes.

Meli: (They're talking about the weed scene and how Clem would sound had she smoked) "Gabe, man, chill out, try this. Smoke some weed bro."

Meli: (About Clem's ethnicity) "She's black and asian. Blasian."

Meli: (Talking about E3 release date) "My guess is it will release in March, at the earliest. Maybe April." I hope so. That way they can fix it.
