Is there any point to "... will remember that?" any more?

It just seem really redundant now. It seems more often than not that the characters either never bring up something they've remembered, or that they die before they get the chance. Back in S1 it served as a pretty good red herring but now? The little message seems a bit pointless.

    It was always pretty much pointless in season 1 too. It was only at the end of ep 4 anything we said in any of those points really worked towards anything. Everything else was major decisions

    In season 1 you could even turn them off

    practically for the little things. I don't think it will ever have an effect of someone living or not. probably only what they say to you and there attitude towards you an what they will say later.

    kinda like if lee says "shit" in the barn in 101, clem will say shit in the bathroom in 201.

    it's possible that they're setting flags for things that they just end up cutting. just usin episode 3 for examples, you can agree to help carver in his office and "he'll remember that." but then you never actually speak to him again. or troy's "maybe he'll remember that" if you tell him that it's rude to kick a person awake. either these things are getting cut, or just not used right. hard to really tell.

    Sometimes, it plays a role.

    I kinda like it. It creates the "illusion" that maybe that character will survive after all.
    Like it was with Carley. I said something, and it appeared on the screen...2 seconds later Lily killed her. It's an artifice to delude us, inducing the "surprise" feeling.

    Yes, I agree with you 100%. I mean... without such mesages we would already know "oh, this character doesn't remember anything? Hm... he/she will probably die in this episode". Without it we would know that within few minutes this character will die.

    I think it'll definitely work for Kenny, as it did in Season 1. But we'll see for the other characters like Jane or Sarah.

    I mean the messages themselves dont mean anything. People can die the moment after one appears, that hasnt changed since season 1. I know people still say different things later on but those little remember messages have little point to show what exactly will be brought up later

    I don't remember it affecting anything in episode 2 except choosing who in the cabin group to appeal to, threatening to blackmail Rebecca and siding or not with Nick after he shot matthew.

    They were always like that. Carley gets a "(?) ____ will remember that" notification, but then she dies a few seconds later.

    I thought they were just there to signify what you did/said as important or notable. Doesn't necessarily mean the character in question will really remember it or hold it against you later.
