I mean, she was obviously trying to persuade Clementine and AJ to come eat with her and potentially join the New Frontier, but yeeeah...like I said somewhere else, fingers crossed on her potential reappearance.
I never know how exactly I should rate characters. Should I rate them according to their likability or their complexity/consistency? Nevertheless here's the list:
Like:
Clementine
Ava
Okay:

Eh, Meh:
Tripp
Gabe
Javier
Conrad
Who?:
Yaya ✞
Hector ✞
Dislike:
No one, so far.
"Hate":
Eleanor
Max
Badger
Very sad that almost all characters that are above "Meh" are characters who have had very little screen time, or mute babies. Characters is a very, very big part of the narrative on the TWD franchise (or ANY franchise really), I believe on of the big reasons ANF turned out to be so disappointing was its shallow characters. It feels like telltale just chose an ethnicity, gender and hair/eye color to these "pieces of flesh", named them and BAM: you have a "character". It doesn't work like that. Where is the personality? The motivations? The credibility? An interesting/different morality? A glimpse of an incoming character arc? Anything that would separate these guys from being just a very badly done stereotype/trope/cliche. I'm rooting for a new set of characters to be presented to us in future episodes, I can't see the current cast (namely Tripp and Eleanor) go anywhere besides their actual boring self.

Both, but you rate them for anything you feel like.

Because he's really friggin bland and pointless, even by MY overly generous standards--he's arguably worse than Wyatt in that regard. Not to mention clearly being a obvious and quarter-assed Kenny 5.0.
Now granted, Above the Law definitely made an effort to downplay those issues, but he still doesn't have much to him as a character, at least as far as I can tell.

Yeah, though I'd say he was already improving in the previous episode and Above the Law just highlighted it due to the disconnect. I always thought he was one for the better characters, but I still wasn't sure if I could confidently say I liked him--that intro removed any doubt.
Characters i like:
Conrad , Tripp, Eleanor , Gabe Mariana and David.
Characters im neutral about:
Max and Ava .
characters i hate:
Kate, and the other characters.

Yeah, I've seen that you like her. Too bad then.
She looks/acts pretty suspicous and..creepy.
I'm pretty sure that's kinda the point, but okay. Not what I thought when I saw her pic on twitter, tho.
She knows nothing about Clem yet goes about BFF and partners in crime stuff...ew.
Huh. Sounds like Jane.
I mean, she was obviously trying to persuade Clementine and AJ to come eat with her and potentially join the New Frontier, but yeeeah...like I said somewhere else, fingers crossed on her potential reappearance.
Don't trust them, they are still the enemy

Good to see that Gabe's character improved a little bit this Episode to be sure.
