Yet another opinion that doesn't matter, my thanks and goodbye
Sorry for potential grammar errors. If somebody doesn't care what i wrote that's fine. But you can leave your throughts about episode 5. I would love to read them. I don't know what to say. Really.
Absolutely fantastic episode, i think everyone agrees on that.
Our forum user Crisp told me that there are 5 different endings. I don't know which ending is canon, i don't even know if it matters at this point. I mean, we don't know if that's the end of Clementine story or not. I guess we won't see her in Season 3.
I like how this episode went. First it was calm, we had humor and fun, Then all of it went dramatic.
I really enjoyed our conversations at the electrical station. We we knew each of them better. Luke was studying History, just like Lee and Omid.... ah, man. Season 2 was lacking those things. Happy birthday buddy.
There's only one thing i hated in this episode - illusion of choices.
E.g the situation with saving luke - no matter what you do, he still dies. you have two choices:
[SAVE LUKE] [COVER LUKE]
If you help him, ice under clementine cracks, she falls in, he dies saving you.
If you stay like he begged you, retarded bonnie runs to save him. Guess what? ice cracks and both of them falls into the water. Then you see him under the ice. You're smashing on it, it cracks, Clementine falls in, he still dies. Then suddently Bonnie comes out of the ice, she is alive and you know what? She did fucking nothing to save him. Fuck damn. My heart sunk.
As a bonus Bonnie acts like a bitch and basically yells at you, that you could save him. WTF? Right i could save him if you could stay.on.the.fucking ice and shoot at the zombies. He could make it just fine alone.
I mean, we had 5 different endings. I seriously expected that we can save him in at least one of them. But hell no. Your choices doesn't matter.
No matter what you choose, they all die. No matter what you do the story is linear.
Later shit hit the fan. Bonnie yells at you again and don't want to talk with you. Mike turns into a good samaritanian and talks with that asshat Arvo.
Then some more casual talks, Kenny fixes a car. Clementine is sleeping. When suddently we see Bonnie, Mike and Arvo. They're trying to rob us and get away in our car!
What.The.Heck?
I was literally torn apart. I couldn't believe my eyes. Clementine grabbed a gun. I saw that evil grin on Arvo's face, I seriously hoped that there's an option to shoot him. right in the face.
NOPE.
Then clementine was shot by that asshat. "No, no, no, no, no!" That's what i could say when i saw it.
Then we meet Lee! right, it was a dream, but it was very nice addition.
Then situation with Kenny... I killed him. I had to. He was going really insane, and all of us saw it. My heart sunk. Again.
You know, i'm an IT technician, i'm 20 years old and i saw many shit in my life. My parents died 6 years ago , exactly on 07.03.2008, in a car accident, and after that, i've stopped caring about anything. I never cried, after that time, even when my friends or somebody from my family died. I was just like "Oh well". Same for video games. I didn't cried on ME3 ending on Season's 1 finale. I think i developed some special sort of anti social gene, i don't know. But let's drop it.
When Kenny said that he's scared about death, something inside me snapped. I cried. Not much but little bit.
And i forgave Jane. After all she was right.
Well done Telltale.
I Really cared about Clementine, Kenny and Luke. Maybe because they're just a videogame characters? No, they're well-developed videogame characters. We were really attached to them. There's not too many well-developed videogame characters.
Special thanks to all people who made this game, it was one of the best series i've ever played.
You make me cry, you make my smile, all of this for 15$. Awesome.
And of course to all moderators, Blind Sniper, Jennifer, puzzlebox, our guy Job Stauffer, and of course you guys, normal forum users.
You're an awesome community, i must admit that. Sure we had few upsides and downs, but we're a family here after all.
Well, that's it i guess, sorry for this chaotic rant, i just wanted to throw it out. Time to leave this train and move onward, i guess we won't see again until season 3? we'll see.
Happy playing!

This episode killed me everywhere.
I wanted to keep the group together that's what Lee would do but Mike, Bonnie and Arvo (without telling Jane BTW) decide "we are gonna leave and not tell Clem either" they are sick.
Which is sad I really liked Mike and Bonnie
But I yelled for help and got shot and then they run off and then Jane yells at Kenny and I am trying to stop her from annoying him Kenny has a short fuse right now.
I crash the car because I wasn't paying attention to the screen and Jane decides to lie to prove a point why lie?
I mean REALLY Kenny isn't a killer he didn't want to kill Jane so I really felt awful looking away but once I found AJ (awesome name) I really got angry at Jane and slightly mad at Kenny.
All in all my Clem was left alone with the baby the one thing I DIDN'T WANT but I knew it was best for both Clem and AJ.
"It just goes to show, people will up and go mad when they believe their lives are over."
RIP
He wanted to. Remember the knife? he almost stabbed her into the heart. He was going insane, i killed him but i didn't wanted to.
I agree with you regarding Luke. No matter what you do, he still dies. Your choice only changes whether he dies a hero, saving Clem from a walker one last time [Help] or whether Bonnie is mad at Clem [Cover]. Would have loved it if Luke had been one of the "Friendship" options for the ending, especially since the Luke-Clem friendship has been building up since episode 1 and has more basis than the Jane-Clem friendship.
After he kills Jane he does say "I didn't want to" or "I didn't mean to" Jane was an idiot provoking a fight to prove a point which I already knew.
As far as i'm concerned Bonnie killed Luke in my first game and I wish I could have shot her at the truck for the attitude she gave me.
