Okay, so Clem's flashbacks are meant to fill us in on the gap between Season 2 and Season 3...
Now... I just want to bring up, if the flashbacks we're getting are so short, shouldn't it be easy to have our Season 2 endings have a long-term effect, at least concerning just the flashbacks?
Imagine going through the New Frontier ordeal (during Clem's flashbacks) with Jane or Kenny or Edith or just all Alone, and then we find that they all die (possibly killed by the New Frontier) by Episode 5 when the final flashback is revealed.
It would still work because none of Clem's companions are in Present day, the fact that all of those companions would die in the same spot makes for a good end point, and it would be satisfying to see our choices --even though it all ended the same way (with their death in Episode 5)-- have a good long illusion of choice. (Like the Carly/Doug effect from Season 1. The living person had 1.5 more episodes before their death, but the two paths gave completely different scenes, and even though the main plot stayed the same [The farm and the bandit raid], it gave the extra 1.5 episodes' scenes different aesthetics.) For Season 3, the flashbacks are fairly quick, so you could easily put Kenny/Jane/Edith alongside Clem in the flashbacks and switch one out for the other depending on the S2 ending, without any changes to the events -- just changes to speech. They could have had them live for a while, and then killing them off by the end so it doesn't mess with the Present day continuity.
I actually tweeted at Job a few day ago when I found out about it and still nothing so I am very sure they already know about it, hence the taking down of videos as well etc. Telltale just like to ignore it and continue hyping the episode up I suppose.
Admittedly, I am still very excited for this episode since I have seen a lot of positive comments about it (and I am a fanboy, but don't tell anyone) so hopefully this trailer will give me some more juicy details without resorting to watching the leaked stuff.
I am really hoping it is a trailer for Episode 3 because I would like to know more without just watching what has been leaked. I think they wouldn't typically announce it and make it so grandiose if it was just about a previous episode anyway, at least I'd hope.
Sadly, I feel that other series are taking much more precedence over TWD. GoTG especially is getting its time to shine now so no doubt Telltale were, and still are, making sure it gives a great first impression. Minecraft would be a cash cow as well as Batman I'm sure and Michonne was a mini-series so possibly easier to work on, especially since they already have some details to go off of with the Comics.
Since Episode 3 had a long wait I definitely am glad to see that Telltale seem to have things more under control for the last two episodes. I think losing the Lead Writer, and more individuals, in between development had a major effect on ANF.
I also know that this isn't the place to vent about these things, but I would much rather TWD had a greater number of episodes than 5 just since GoT got 6 and Minecraft got 8. I suppose they feel that the story they want can be done in less though and they don't want to overextend it. I'm just a fanboy
Yeah, my favourite part has got to be the intimidating look of David, especially since he seems so foreboding in this image alone by the way they made him look like he overshadows Clem and Javi.
One thing I noticed as well is a flag with the New Frontier logo in the back right. I can't tell though if the thing to the very left right at the back is also another flag with a different image, possibly highlighting that there will be another major faction to possibly battle TNF?

Thanks for adding this here. I tried to, but I realised that even since I have been here since 2012 I still cannot figure out him to get an image on the board.

This gets me very hyped though.
Trailer tomorrow at 9am!! I'll be at work but I'm totally gonna slack off to freak out for a bit haha
Also, from Job's twitter after a fan told him about people spoiling ep 3 and that the fan didn't watch any of the spoiler stuff: @Nicholasleal13@BalladEra16 Good! Stay vigilant. Definitely a bummer when "fans" spoil content for others. Less than 1week to go!
So I have a question. In episode 1 you see Clementine with a shotgun and after she walks into the bar to confront Eli it is never scene again. What happened to it? I can't see Clem just abandoning a useful weapon.

I've got to say, the key art looks damn cool, but there's no point theorising about what it all means considering so much of this forum already knows what happens in the episode.
EDIT: Not sure if it's updated yet, but I've changed my profile picture. I spent a good half hour working on that when I should have been working on the pile of homework I have due tomorrow. David better be as likable as he is oddly handsome...

Tell-tale Community: WE NEED INFO, 3 MONTHS IS A TOO LONG TO WAIT
Tell-tale: (Remaining silent is always an option)
Me: Tell-tale is such tease
6 days to go for episode 3 is released (i really hope that the wait for episode 4 is shorter
Players and Fans: Where is the next episode?
Tell-tale: Around the corner
SIGN SAYS COMING SOON
Tell-tale disappears from the subject
It'll be leaked in 2 hours
Who has the honor of telling him the episode was leaked? I'd kill for that.
Interesting. Wonder if he means 2 or 3?

IT'S COMING GUYS
Importance of this sentence contrasts with the silliness of all the emojis. I'm confused.
trailer tomorrow!
Key art just dropped
I am really enjoying the style of these "poster"-like art pieces.
I can disprove this.
Love Clem's look
The key art.

THIS MEANS WAR

You got it, bud. No problem.
I think its pretty sweet, too.
Why are they going with this 90 horror movie style with the banners?
I love the way they are doing these keyarts!
Clem has Afro Puffs
Trailer tomorrow at 9am!! I'll be at work but I'm totally gonna slack off to freak out for a bit haha

What the fuck is wrong with Clem's hair?
Looking at episode 4's title I wonder if that means more of a focus on her.
Nvm
That's wishful thinking.
Added the new key art to the OP! Let's hope the trailer is exciting!
Look at Clem's natural hair! :') She got it from her momma
So I have a question. In episode 1 you see Clementine with a shotgun and after she walks into the bar to confront Eli it is never scene again. What happened to it? I can't see Clem just abandoning a useful weapon.
Confiscated probably after she gets locked up.
Okay, not gonna lie: This banner is awesome! Even though it has that-Paul-guy instead of Kate, that green luminescence going on looks amazing.

That is some nice looking key art, i like the paint like effect they added to the background.
Job was made aware of it the day it happened.
It looks amazing!
