How will it end? Predictions
Lee dies. Clementine lives. The entire game is about Clementine. Season 2 will be about a new character that meets Clementine and is her new protector/guardian.
Just a hunch.

Not sure which one I prefer.
The group will leave without them
Lee will have a final showdown with the walkie talkie guy
Clementine and Lee will be left alone in a city of walkers no allies, no supplies.
Because different people have different opinions. And predictability doesn't matter as long as the narrative is compelling, IMO.
It could be set two years in the future, and plenty of games feature young protagonists. See Heart of Darkness, virtually any Legend of Zelda game, Limbo, A Boy and His Blob and others.
Kind of hoping that Lee gets bit, changes into a zombie so that I can chase after the people in the group eating them with great joy.
That would be a no deal for me on Season 2. It was a cute little device for one season, but had I known this game was the story of an 8yr old surviving the ZA I would've moved on.
I just hope we see Walking Dead in a total different country like UK or Germany and when not I would like to see a character like Andrea have a big role in the 2nd season
I think that this is Lee's story not Clems. I think Clem won't be in the next season. Depending on your choices she is either alive or dead, but Lee will be alone. The new series will then start with Lee alone and meeting a new group of survivors.
And the players in tears.
The remaining characters I'm not feeling any strong tugs about their fates either way..or that much interest.
yeah, what people dont realise is that it is not only a zombie apocalypse but its the octoshark apocalypse as well, doh!
alternate ending
other alternate ending:
Zombie: Get your shotgun out my face, you damn dirty apes!
Lee: He can talk!
Kenny: He can talk!
Omid: He can talk!
Clem: He can talk!
Zombie: I can SIIIIIIIIIING!
Telltale, I'm seeing potential DLC...
Disturbingly, I suspect the second would probably be the money maker
I would prefer the Clementine living option though. We then see some kind of epilogue where Clementine (either older or immediately after the previous event) reflects the choices Lee made. She becomes a hardened survivor, an innocent victim, a morally upright person or whatever it is. Perhaps the epilogue would end with Clem offering a summary on who your Lee was in the game and who he is to her (I would be so moved it Clem had a photo or something of Lee and referred to him as some kind of "dad" if he was good to her).
As much as I hate obligatory "hero needs to die" endings, they work if there is a point! If the emotional payoff, relevance to the theme or final lines nail why it had to happen, I would be fine.
Judging by what I've read posted by other users who have read the comics. They would just kill off Clementine via pneumonia, and Lee through slipping and cracking his skull in just because the message is "Shit Happens".
Are you saying that the comics are so bleak that being true to them would would mean killing both Lee and Clem? Isn't that the equivalent of killing that sheriff that is the main star of the comic? Surely there is a limit to how bleak this ending can get, especially with a sequel being planned... Right?
At this point, I could imagine one of them dying but I never even considered that both might bite it.
Okay, that just made me laugh.
I think there is a possibility that NONE of the group will survive Savannah. Lee or Clem dying seems to be a pretty strong outcome, and I could definately see both happening. Who knows, Clem might die and Lee the final choice of the season is the player choosing to "opt out" or not. Ben and Omid will certainly be killed. Christa and Kenny might make it, but since Kenny has nothing to live for it seems likely that he'll just give up along the way if he isn't already dead by that point. Chuck could die, or slip away in the night, but I don't think he'll be with us at the end of Episode 5. Walkie-guy has no chance if we're given a choice to kill him or not. It seems the only people with even a moderate chance of survival are Christa and...the ninja girl?
My goal now is to think of the most horrible things that can happen, so that if it doesn't, I can be pleasantly surprised. I did NOT appreciate how this game jerked me around and I'm determined not to let it do so again.
Don't get too immersed in all TWD doom and gloom. It's still a story, and a pretty good one at that, about Lee and what he lived through during a ZA. If it was about killing off people just to kill them off then the story would be one episode about some guy on riot control duty in Atlanta. Likewise it's not so much one-upsmanship on who can come up with the sickest thing to send Lee into. Rather, when you have a character who did not die right away, the longer he lives the more bad and good things he's going to encounter.
TTG picked Lee's story to tell just like Kirkman picked Rick's story to tell. Lots of drama about someone who lived a long time in a ZA (relatively speaking of course)
Honestly though, I never got emotionally involved with Shakespeare. The stories can be okay (if you can get past the ye old english) but I never felt upset on any of the deaths. Nothing he wrote is emotionally gripping, in my mind. Not even the double suicide for Romeo and Juliet.
