    Nope.

    1) He gathered all the Toys in 303 using technology

    2) He didn't do what Max did when we saw him touch the Eyes of Yog-Soggoth for the first time

    3) He could easily have bullied Gordon into telling him what Sam & Max were going to do

    But he literally says "Your future viewer has proven very useful to me" just before he sucks Sam and Max right in The Penal Zone.





    So to speak.

    It can be considered useful just because he was able to use it somehow.

    If he was able to use it personally, that would create a plothole.

    That doesn't mean the puzzles are bad, it actually is a sign they're good and make more sense.

    Wouldn't that be how he could use them?

    Fan vid written by Majus, ie. about as canon as the MI IWWHI shorts. Telltale uploaded it because Majus and his brother are employed by TT as coreographers (sp?).

    Episode that best failed to meet expectations: The City That Dares Not Sleep

    I'm sorry, I refuse to believe that. It fulfilled every expectation for me;

    *It was funny and interesting
    *It wrapped up the story in a way that made sense
    *It left open ends for a possible season 4
    *It also meant that if there is no season 4, the fans would still feel satisfied
    *The puzzles were not extremely easy
    *The return of characters was done in a funny way

    Also, I think the best use of an old character should go to Girl Stinky.

    • Episode with the best music: Again, The Whole Season.
    • Episode with the best puzzles: Beyond the Alley of the Dolls.
    • Most shocking episode: Beyond the Alley of the Dolls. The ENTIRE EPISODE was shocking exposition.
    • Best new location: The Statue of Liberty. It should be obvious as to why.

    • Best overall episode: Beyond the Alley of the Dolls.
    And the Bad:
    • Least funny episode: They Stole Max's Brain. Still funny, but the least funny of the five.
    • Worst story in an episode: None.
    • Episode with the worst puzzles: The Penal Zone. Using the future Vision practically gave it away.
    • Episode that best failed to meet expectations: They Stole Max's Brain. It was very good, but not as good as it could have been.
    • Worst new character: Charlie Ho-Tep. OH GOD, Charlie Ho-Tep. The Voice stills haunts my dreams.
    • Worst use of an old character: Mr. Featherly. He didn't add much to the story.
    • Worst overall episode: None. They were all good.
