Amid the Ruins Teaser Trailer Breakdown
OK fellow enthusiasts, this is my first time actually starting a discussion, soooo:
*ahem*
A lot of people from what I've seen on the forum have been complaining about how the trailer at the end of episode 3 was "lacking" in getting them hyped. Fair enough, it might not be as big a slice of pie as we got at the end of episode 2, but personally I think it's just as tasty, if not more so. Why? You're asking yourself.
In the first few seconds we see Clem, Kenny, Rebecca, Bonnie, Mike and Jane(by her boots) beside an old looking brick wall (which I presume is the site of Parker's Run, the Civil War thing.) They're still covered in blood, so the scene must take place right after the escape from Carver's camp.
Next off, we see Clem picking up Sarah's damaged glasses. Notice that her rainbow jacket is now clean, and that she found it beside a place which has a chain-link fence and rusty barrels,turning out to be the "Sunshine Mobile Home Park" (so obviously NOT the Civil War site). Notice that it's got barbed wire on the top of the fence, meaning that either it is or was occupied by a group of survivors. (Might turn out to include Eddie...MAYBE).
Clem removes Kenny's bandage at the Civil War site (again, notice how they're clean, meaning that they've set up camp temporarily, maybe to wait for Luke > Kenny says "where the hell is Luke?"
Kenny probably gets an eye patch from the Civil War site (I visited a museum near the battle of Bull Run on a trip to the US a few years ago and they were selling them at the gift shop).
Rebecca might give birth at Parker's Run, forcing them to move on to seek a more secure location (trailer park) since they lack appropriate supplies and are being overrun by walkers.
Honestly, I think the teaser gives us plenty to chew on, we just need to let it stew a bit.
EDIT: Feel free to post your thoughts. This is just my interpretation of it.

Where do you think Luke has got to?
I think - and I could well be wrong - that this was cut and left for episode 4: in one of the achievements for episode 4, we see walkers trying to get through some bars. It's not unreasonable to think a civil war museum would have some kind of mock prison, and I think she and clem might have to lock themselves in their to have the baby.
Clem's current group is awesome:
Kenny and Rebecca have a really great dynamic, the way they argue with each other reminds me of Kenny/Lee, Kenny/Lilly in season 1.
Bonnie, Jane and Mike are great new characters who we will get chance to know a little better.
The only 2 characters mentioned to know where the civil war museum is are Luke and Carlos. With Carlos being dead and Luke in the other group, you'd think Clem's group would be lost. But it was MIKE who came up with the idea in the first place. So both groups are being led by someone who knows where to meet up, probably leading to an epic reunion.
I'm quite excited about the idea of the cast being split up and trying to find each other again. The show did it in a really good way, so I bet the game will too.
Me and my eye-patch, armed with My beard and Salt lick!
Like previous episodes, the trailer is always inaccurate. They make it before they really finalise plans for the next episode. So, really, most of the stuff in the trailer won't even happen. :(
Jane gives clem some advice/lessons
You run into Sarah alive or dead
Then after that I'm not sure
Yeah, that's what I thought. I think by including those words they want to show that Clem's learning more survival skills, specifically in dealing with Walkers.
IMO that'll be a major moral choice concerning the episode; either Clem will stick with the others and thus show her loyalty and dependability, or go off on her on "a la Molly".
But apart from some random voodoo thing, I have no idea why Clem would smear her face with blood and be surrounded by people...
It makes me uneasy...
In the year and half she spent with Christa I'm guessing she learned all the "normal" survival skills (making fires, hunting, foraging,etc...)
