The Videotapes make absolutely NO sense
So I thought, is this just an oversight or flawed logic on Telltales writers part?
On the first tape with Anna Dr. Logan explains why he records the appointment. He says that it's a regulation by Oberson to record all consultations.
Ok I get that part. Obviously Crawfords Leader was tough on everyone obeying the rules etc. and he wanted to also check on his medical personal/medical supplies etc. Makes perfect sense.
BUT: On Tape 3 (The Molly lockertape) why the hell did he start the recording AS he was closing his zipper infront of the camera, talking about how it was fun, but that he has to stop the arrangement to not get caught?
And then gives her medicine for Mollys sister for a last time.
Just doesn't make any sense.

He recorded it since he wouldn't be able to get some anymore.
The video starts at the zipping up because the guy had already finished watching it, but wasn't kind and didn't rewind.
I assumed it was a sex tape. Old dude like that with a fine young girl like Molly, not surprising he'd want to capture and re-live the experience. Especially since their 'arrangement' was coming to an end. Also makes sense that he'd keep it in his locker, away from all the other tapes.
Catching a glimpse of some freaky, post-apocalyptic infirmary sex would've been nice, but hey, what can you do? All of the tapes only show the material pertinent to the overall story. Unless all video cassette tapes in TWD universe are only 30 seconds long.
I thought this too. Secret porn stash! c: (Like, if he just didn't want people to know of the tape's existence, he could have destroyed the tape.)
Though, I don't know why he would keep the tape in his workplace. Odd man. :P
There is only 1 explanation..
He recorded the entire session.. Sex+the talk afterwards and it was never intended to be seen by Oberson. It was just his little sex film.
This doesn't make sense however since a) Lee would have obviously watched the tape from the beginning and b) when you pay attention how the tape starts the doctor stands far away from Molly, directly infront of the camcorder facing the wall. If this was the middle of the video, why would he go there, face the wall, and inch away from the camcorder just to close his zipper?
He might have a strange fetish that I kinda don't want to discuss.
so, he really meant to shut it off when he was zipping up, but actually turned it on : p
Or worse yet, he made the recording to betray Molly and collect some reward for finding and eliminating a potential risk to Crawford....Molly's sister. Isn't this how these totalitarian systems work?
I'm here to confirm that Acadias got it spot on. The idea is that the tape had been watched before. Had Lee been tasteless enough to hit the rewind button, he would have seen a whole lot more.
Damn you brain!!!
now i have a picture in my head of Lee fapping whilst the sad/sombre moment music of the game plays...
Awesomeness.
This on the other hand.... very very sad.
I was wondering the same. Maybe he thought if it was left in the camcorder no one would check the tape quickly. But if it was on his dead body it would be seen immediately and thus would reveal that it was Anna who stabbed him
We never saw Lilly turn into a zombie or have found any evidence that she is dead, but we haven't see her come back, and she likely won't.
That's because she lives and in the comics we learn exactly where she goes and what she does.
the tapes are dated by ddays after the outbreak, i believe the first 2 are 81 and 82, while the molly tape is 76 or something
i remember thinking, wow Molly's last appointment was less than a week before Crawford was overrun? you would think she would try one last attempt to steal some medicine and would have seen what had happened
on another note about the last tape, you see Doc Logan swiping the front of the camera when it shuts off in the last when hes on the ground
the video camera wasnt even knocked over when you found it... so he carefully opened the camera and put the tape in his pocket?
also, the thing about him taking the tape so people would know who murdered him doesnt make sense, since you can hear gunshots going off after the women leaves
