Three months of fun?

Was three moths too long a gap between episodes, this thred contains spoilers?

I’m asking because of how characters bring up three month old disputes and disagreements as if it happened yesterday, for example yes I left Duck on the tractor and sided with Larry in the drug store but by episode 2 I’ve helped protect the group including Duck for three months without incident.

We know they left the motel at some point to visit the military base where they found Mark so did they have any other adventures?

We also know Lilly and Kenny have been arguing for a long time before episode 2 so could they really do that none stop for three months.

I think they should have only used 2 -3 weeks max as grudges boil and people begin to implode as this would be when loyalties are really tested.

Also what will be the time gap between episode 2 – 3?

    All we know at this point is merely speculation about what happened during the 3 months. It would be nice if they included scenes about what happened in the three-month time gap in the retail release. Also, I'm guessing that the gap between episode 2 and 3 is just a few days.

    Good writing should never rely on flashbacks. I hope at most, they cover it with dialogue. I don't want the narrative broken just so we see something that really doesn't matter.

    A few weeks transpire between episodes 2 and 3. Not as long a gap in the story.

    good article, i agree with him in not liking that at the beginning one of the teenagers always dies, they could have done what he said and just always have someone chop the leg off you just choose who.

    making the teenager you save chop his teachers leg off would have been a fun thing to watch and have given the kid a bit of character
