I'm fixing up the pictures right now.
I can't believe I wrote 3 pages in word for this

I tried to keep it mostly spoiler free. The one paragraph with minor spoilers is signposted and easily skippable as well!
UPDATE: URL now fixed!
I just skimmed through and yes, I understand what you mean. However, as before, there are different definitions of spoiler. Some people don't want to know about any of the returning characters and some don't mind.
For sure. I'm used to it though... I get comments like that on EVERY review I make (not just the TellTale ones). Haha, if you don't want to see any game-play footage, don't watch a video review ;-)
This IS a massive spoiler. They must have ruined the game for you!
Well, it is really annoying but I only saw the small picture on the side... I still have a lot of questions and while it is a stupid thing to put in a review, I don't think the game has been ruined...

There's a spoiler warning ("spoilers for the ending") at the top of the text which, fortunately, appeared at the bottom of my browser view; I didn't scroll past it. They rated it
I didn't see that I looked away so quickly.
