Hmm. Looks like Kenny will survive most of the episode. I'd like to see him in episode 5, though.
People have been saying around the forums that he has been confirmed for episode 5, but maybe there is some sort of branching which allows him to die on episode 4 and keep someone else instead?
It looks like the story is combining everything that has been in the series up to this point and is wrapping it up into a conspiracy tale with a lot of mystery and "ghost stories". I love stories like this; perhaps someone has found a way to exploit the outbreak and is experimenting with it to create horrifying results for their own ends. I hope Telltale isn't afraid to experiment a little bit with the outbreak; they don't have to explain it's origins, but a story involving it's properties and how they can be altered into even worse states would be interesting. I also wonder if Clem's parents and their occupations had something to do with what is going on in episode 4.
As for Ben, I think he will be the one to sacrifice himself to save Clem and everyone else and will meet a truly gruesome fate. It would be a good way to make up for leaving Clem behind and betraying everyone and might make us actually feel sorry and appreciative for him at the last minute.
The walkers on spikes must have been some sick way of executing some people, since the walker is alive the person must have been dropped on top of them?
Also the lack of Omid and lots of running saddens me, most likely he dies early on in the episode, didn't leave him behind cause Christa is with us and doesn't seem pissed off. Figured he'd die but he was cool.

Or it could be someone deliberately exposing healthy people to it and monitoring the infection to find a cure. No matter how it goes, it will be a house of horrors that Lee and the group are walking into.
other than the infection spreading to learn how/why/what
this place could also be a rape/baby farm where people are 'inpregnated' to keep the human race alive.. not that the gene pool is gonna be much to shout about in that case lol
the orange hoodie 'girl' is interesting small thin yet strong enough to sucker punch lee raises some questions..
as for my thoughts on the video tape 'larry' blue shirt in a room with someone who looks a bit like christa sat on a bed.
Well, we still need him to point at his boat before Lee kills him. :cool:
Isn't his boat in Florida? I thought the trip to Savannah was a "we're just headed to the nearest coast and look for a boat b/c things are too bad" type of thing.

Yeah that's correct. Kenny's boat is still in Florida, but he knows how to drive a boat well enough to give the group a fighting chance, which is probably why the game clarified what his occupation is so we know a boat would be a good idea with Kenny in the group.
Also the lack of Omid and lots of running saddens me, most likely he dies early on in the episode, didn't leave him behind cause Christa is with us and doesn't seem pissed off. Figured he'd die but he was cool.
I don't know, the teaser at least showed Omid in the place where they were staying.
Cool trailer. Savannah looks great, Ben's being...Ben, there are clear problems regarding the living to sort out, and I already want to shoot radio-dude. Can't wait for the episode to come out.
I hope Chuck gets to smash a couple heads with that shovel and what do you guys think about that giant pile of zombies at the beginning? The one that was impaled on that stick kinda scared me.
The one that was impaled on that stick kinda scared me.
I thought that was a pretty good place for them. Could be some kind of security system/scarecrow, lets you know if anyone edible is around and hopefully scares them off? How they got there is a little unnerving.

First time I saw that, it looked creepy. Showed how plagued Savannah is with walkers. Didn't show any zombies in the teaser trailer.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! what happened to Chuck's guitar? I was looking forward to hearing some tunes I hope it's sacrifice was truly needed and worth the loss.I doubt his musical talent can do anything melodic with a shovel unless he can create some kind of musical rhythm while smashing walker skulls. At least Chuck's got a new drinking buddy...
What's Kenny doing on his knees? praying,drinking or maybe just crying.Will we have someone else blowing their brains out?
So, let me get this straight:
1. We now have two drunks in the group.
2. A dishonest,naive and cowardly teenager.
3.A group member who may have a life threatening injury.
4.A eight year old girl.
5.A woman that some speculate may be pregnant.
To top that, Savannah is full of walkers and the people there may be conducting nightmarish experiments on each other.
Hm...in the trailer there appears to be a scene where Lee is watching himself hug Clementine. Is it a dream or something? Or just some bug? It's at 14:14 on the Up At Noon video
And mystery girl in the orange...hm...curious how that will factor in. Could it be Carley in disguise...:O? Hahaha! Just kidding. They are not going to cater anything like that thankfully. Otherwise I might hurl a brick at my computer.
And I am sensing the sexual themes relate to someone using wherever they are staying as a means of rape or other sexual abuse. Makes me think of that stuff in Kill Bill with using the Bride as an unconscious sex object. Curious to see how it will play out.
They also promise a lot of the choices will actually start manifesting in the last two episodes. That will surely remain to be seen, but I can sense maybe that means things from the trailer could also be variable. Maybe if you tried to perk up Ben rather than assault him in the last episode, he won't ditch Clementine? A far fetched dream for sure, but it is nice to speculate and hope it will really draw differences.

Wow , I didn't even think of that. That would be a pretty good idea to scare off people into leaving by having a gigantic pile of them in one spot. This episode is going to be so crazy. I like how they're having both the threats integrated into one episode as opposed to the zombies being the bad guys in one episode then humans the next etc.
I dunno if anyone mentioned this, but in the final scene when Kenny tosses Lee the shotgun, there appears to be a dead/crumpled/sick (HUMAN COLORED) body in the bottom right hand corner.
The new Episode Four trailer is on the TellTale blog. My thoughts:
The corpses impaled on spikes suggest that after the zombie outbreak occurred, some people engaged in criminal behavior and they were punished by residents in a crude way. The police and military were overwhelmed, so defense against living threats fell to residents, not trained law enforcers.
The ringing church bell was pulled by I don’t know who or why, but Chuck turned into a good poet after it rang.
Ben’s betrayal was followed by his cowardice in failure to protect Clementine. First, I thought Ben was so foolish as to be manipulated by bandits. Now I know he cannot be relied on to defend a group member. I want him out of the group. I bet limping Omid will be more helpful than Ben.
Kenny, beer bottle in hand, said “We got walkers all around us, that crazy fuck on the radio messing with us, if now ain’t the time for a drink . . .” Hopefully, Kenny can keep going. However, maintaining group morale becomes harder as members turn to alcohol to cope. Maybe group members will use drugs too.
The Crawford psychiatric facility is ominously shown as abusive. There is some real-life inspiration for abuse of medical patients by hospital personnel. My guess is the abuse only became worse after the walker outbreak.
An unidentified man questioned Lee’s treatment of Clementine. A forum user suggested that it may be the unidentified radio speaker:
It's the same dude shown in the episode 3 teaser, I'm quite sure of it. Most probably is walkie-talkie man as well.
However, a shadow outline could match may facial configurations, but this photo comparison is a good guess.
The red-hooded, blonde-haired girl who uppercut Lee somewhat resembles the protagonist from Assassin's Creed. After being knocked out, hopefully Kenny can break his beer bottle over the ninja lady’s head.
I read the comment that the walker herd that the group escaped at the end of Episode 3 may catch up. I am unsure. At the beginning of Episode 2, Lee axed a walker in the back of the skull. The walker was eating a rabbit. So, walkers need food just like living people. Can the walkers travel all the way to Savannah without food or will one-by-one they drop dead permanently because they need energy just to move?

Well int the comics they are still around for a while in spite of the population being drastically dwindled over the course of a year plus change. I suspect it is something that they just continue to decompose but are able to keep walking, moving solely by some automation of the brain than just the digestive process.
I love Chuck for his one line in the trailer. So badass and appropriate for the moment. What if Ninja-Girl happens to be the same woman who was in the recording? She might be insane because of whatever happened to her in that place, and seems to be wearing some kind of medical mask over her mouth. Savannah looks like the City of the Dead. I doubt many of the group, if any, are going to make it to the boat. Especially after all the shit the group went through before even seeing the city. Kenny is drowning his sorrows, Ben is still a coward, Omid is injured, Chuck is somewhat of an unknown, and Clementine is an 8-year-old.
It seems like the group is taking shelter in this creepy place. Whatever happened there just reeks of wrong. It might have something to do with studying the infection, but I think it'll be far worse than that. Isn't there also the possibility of someone who worked there, like the doctor on the tape, to still be alive? What if talkie-man worked/stayed there. And with the bells, it seems that someone is trying to kill our group again. What if the people trying to kill us are the ones that stuck those walkers on the spikes and piled those bodies beneath them?
If we didn't know there was already going to be an Episode 5, I'd be surprised if any of them survived. And if the herd has followed the train all the way to the city... well, I doubt it's possible to be more fucked than they already are.
Knowing that there is a Catholic School in this episode and a rating that specifies sexual themes, these two might be related. I don't mean to offend anyone, but I'm sure most of us know what has been known to happen behind closed doors in Catholic religion institutes. The medical staff may be doing horrendous experiments for whatever purpose and documenting their findings or they could be making little more than snuff films of raping and mutilating girls or a combination of the two.
They might be trying to lure all survivors to their base of operations to continue the experiments and use the bell tower as a defense mechanism against anyone who might pose a threat to their plans or to simply get people to seek refuge in the school to be eventually taken hostage. The stack of bodies could be all their victims put there as a warning for all those who will try to fight against them. The radio guy might be trying to prevent this or is simply working with the villains to draw the group in.
There were rumors of these horrible things happening at the school prior to the outbreak, so this could fit in easily. Whatever the case, it's clear that these people were evil and twisted right from the start (not turned to evil by the zombie apocalypse like the other villains) and exploited the circumstances to continue their horrible endeavors. I think we may have found our main villains for the rest of the season.

Use your eyes. "Sexual themes" have not been stated in any other episode rating.

I am very, very eager to see what happens.
Sorry, that should have read "pretty good place for them". My brain skipped.
Naw, it looks like the camera's over Christa's shoulder.
Ok. I guess I only saw the blue on her shirt and part of her face. I can see her now though.
