A reflection on Kenny after episode 4 (spoilers)
Kenny lost family now, twice. He's now extremely, er, connected and protective of the baby. Do you think he might go the path of Carver? Carver was extremely protective of the 'family' in the long run as well. Like Carver, Kenny is extremely quick to make judgements and think on his feet. He shares a lot of the team mentality that Carver had, while always wanting to call the shots, often times ignoring the input of others.
I'd also compare it to the governor's return in the tv show (although I really don't enjoy the show), where he seems to justify the worst for those he newly cares about after losing everything. It's obvious his connection to the baby in this episode was poignant for a reason. I see it as foreshadowing. I think Kenny, having lost all other reasons to live, will cling to the idea of survival in the most basic form, and will be willing to do anything to achieve it, for the child's sake. In conclusion, I see him turning into a person much like Carver, to ensure the continuation of the species. Thoughts?

I think Kenny just thinks what he does is the best idea, however he still cares about others a lot. He just does what he thinks is best with no questions asked. He can be really protective of the people hes loves yes, but I don't think he'll turn into another Carver. But hes defensive of his thoughts, I don't think hes going to let the idea of "not everything goes your way" work.
Eh, I used to feel this way about Kenny. But after Sarita's death, and his adoption of the baby, I really don't see Kenny being the same old Kenny anymore
Yeah, I really don't know. He's just very protective... But I see how he could change...
He hasn't lost Clementine yet....Clementine is probably his family now...if Clementine ever dies. It would probably do him in good and he might commit suicide.
Well, Pretty much seems like that's what keeps him going.
Hard to say. I did end up choosing the option that Kenny was getting a bit weird toward the baby, but then again, him being the only one who knows how to care for a baby was what gave him a sense of purpose. Kenny has always pulled through when he had some sort of purpose.
