Continuity: Clothes and Divesuits SPOILERS
During the swimming bit how the hell did they hide their clothes and when they resurfaced all their clothes had magicly returned.
Wouldnt them still being in the divingsuits after surfacing make more sense ??
Not to mention the shaving cream can and Nimas backpack, there is suspension of disbelief that then there is lazy story writing.
Come on telltale what the hell you were the saviours of classic adventure gaming

Yeah I know watching Die Hard 4 pg-13 version John McClane not say the F word was a bummer. And the unrated version he was swearing like a sailor again that is considered unrated in the US ??
So let me get this straight shooting people ok swearing and tits NO GOOD
Yeah in this case it is, but for someone like me who is not a US citizen I find the whole rating system both for games and movies in the US strange.
I laugh everytime I hear some conservative politician in the US complaining about something bad in a violent movie, it´s always related to nudity or swearing.
Mythbusters did this, by the way. And if you take off your dive suit that was worn over normal clothes, it will actually look as though you never went in the water!
Ultimately, these things don't have anything to do with the story. It's just a continuity thing that we have to say 'leave well enough alone' to. We found even the process of showing one of the characters transitioning into a state of undress after their swim did nothing for the pacing of scene-- it only served to drag the energy down as we transitioned into the finale. When dealing with cinematic pacing, it's important to understand when to edit a scene and truncate the passage of time.
The general consensus is that they had their clothes on underneath-- I know it's weird and awkward, but it also doesn't contribute or detract from the story.
Nick and I actually went to a local diving store to do research, and they extended an offer to give us a free lesson. So Nick and I ended up painfully aware of realism issues like this.
On one hand, we knew the issue of clothing was a continuity problem... on the other hand, we were able to make a lot of design/directorial decisions to make the entire underwater scene as authentic and truthful as possible.
We got some good lessons about rebreathers and also great advice about how to make the fictional JP diving gear plausible. Some of the lines that Jess speaks are direct quotes from our instructors.
Shout out to Marin Bamboo Reef in San Rafael for their awesome hospitality and generosity!
Yeah but that´s the monkey island universe and Michael Crichton the author of Jurassic Park actually researched the idea of cloning dinosaurs and the response he got from scientist, that specalized in genetics was that it might be possible.
But the international laws on genetics are probably not gonna allow for that to happen.
And in my opinion should not happen.
JD, after you worked on the best TT episode since Tales ep.4, we can forgive you anything!
Seriously - and not detracting from the others - the last episode was by far the most well directed. I loved the night talking with Nima (one of the best dialogues of the game), the camera direction, and some of the puzzles were finally a little bit harder - thus satisfying to solve!
Telltale with JP has shown their maturity on how to write a emotional and strong story.
Now it's time to start to REALLY improve the technical side - or the next time we'll still cannot recognize an incendiary granade.
Ever thought to rent an external engine?
BTW, congrats!
He is not a genetics expert (no more than I am) and this article is really interesting which Horner actually speaks on the subject.
But to quote Ian Malcolm : Your scientist was so preoccupied with wether or not they could, they didn´t stop to think if they should.

Just kinda curious.. I mean the end is a hop skip and a jump from there anyway.
Another continuity issue is... Where the hell Nima kept the bag with the canister while she was swimming? I'm pretty sure she is not carrying it while swimming.
So for me the only continuity error in that episode was "where was the canister during the swimming", "How did they get the shoes with em" and "They should be wet around the neck line of their clotes and the hair would be more messy", other then that i didnt see that much problem (BUT i cant remember if they said anything about "Dry suits" or "Wet Suits" before they went swimmin
Just a guess...
the answer to this question is that they were probably in dry suits...in which case they had no need to remove clothing...they didnt have buoyancy compensators like typical divers. and jess mentions that buoyancy is controlled via the suit...something only found in a dry suit used by tec divers....
