The trailer is out.

(Even in 1080p!)
Naturally for TWD fans,speculation and "Is that Kenny?" threads are hitting the forums.
However,I'v decided to create this thread to sum up everything we know so far about Season 2:Episode 1 - All that remains and just to clear some things up from the trailer.
Returning characters
- Omid
From the previously released image
we know that Omid is coming back to Season 2,and that he will be (according to the trailer) involved in the plot concerning the house,probably a member of the new group.
Christa
A trailer showed a familiar face.
Unless TT is using the exact same model,there is absolutely not reason to believe this isn't Christa.
Kenny (?)
The only thing we have about Kenny in Season 2 is this:
While it may,or may not be Kenny,the fact is - If it wasen't Kenny,why does TT refuse to show his face from the front in both the trailer and the screenshot?The truth is,the haircut is iconic for Kenny,as well as a green-brown shirt,and even the face shape fits (shaved a bit??).
Now,since the forum is already flooding with threads about Kenny,I'll won't go into much discussion about him here.
A comparison shot.
The Group
Obviously,a new group is introduced.
So far,we only know--lets call him "The Orange Shirt Guy"--we know of The Orange Shirt guy who appeared in the Vine 2 teaser as well as the trailer,including the screenshot. 
"Winston"
The so-called "Winston" character appeared in one of the original screenshots
as well as the trailer showing him trying to catch Clementine for some reason,either to save her from the the walkers,or something else entirely.The trailer also shows where the screenshot came from.He gets grabbed after Clementine pushes him away.
Some other characters who appeared in the trailer seem to have appeared for the first time,thus I haven't included them in the round-up.
Soundtrack
While we don't know anything about the soundtrack yet,what we have seen from the Reveal trailer as well as the Full trailer has been simply brilliant and emotional.Even though that was the only soundtrack we have heard so far,the score in S2 is definitely not going to disappoint.
The atmosphere
Looking at the grim,survival-type atmosphere of the full trailer,and the captivating soundtrack,the atmosphere and the tune of Season 2 will be just that;a brilliant story about pure survival,tough choices,and a sequel worth continuing the story of Season 1.
Graphical quality
From the very first screenshots,it was obvious the engine has improved a lot.
And it has.The facial expressions (Vine 2) as well as the trailer have vastly improved.The textures generally seem to be of a much higher resolution.The color palette is better,animations much,much smoother as well as the whole image appearing much clearer.
Speculation
Minor things aside,lets get to the main thing:speculation.
The trailer provided a ton of new gameplay,as well as more hints to how the story will roll out in EP1.
First off,looking at the pictures and the trailer,the episode probably starts in the woods,with one of the first scenes being Clementine looking at the picture of Lee. (Kenny drawing spotted!)
Since the Vines preview a conversation between the group members,there might be some sort of an opening scene to introduce us to the group itself,which will then be introduced to Clementine as a character.
Action sequence
"There will be some action at the beginning".A quote from one of the recent interviews.The quote was probably (most likely did) referring to the,rather impressive,action sequence shown in the trailer,ending with Clementine falling into the river,something we haven't seen in Episode 1.
How she got out of the river and near the cottage is obviously unknown,however,she probably woke up or the group or perhaps even Christa/Omid/Kenny (?) found her.
The house
The house shown in the promo image will obviously play a large role in the episode.The group will undoubtedly end up here,however it seems Clementine will get there first.The Vine 3 also shows bloody Clementine,holding her chest.That was also caused by hitting a rock in the river.You could connect it to the promo image and say the found her afterwards in front of the house,thus explaining the shoulder/chest wound.
During her visit to the house,she will most likely encounter a walker,as shown in the screenshot/trailer.Also,a possible "player exploration" of the house was hinted by Clem opening the doors of the room (from the screenshot).You know?Like the mansion in EP4?
The room will also include a later conversation between another character (Kenny?) and Clem.
Further discussion on where the group will go next and "What the hell just happened" will be most likely held at that location,with the house serving as a hub similar to the mansion in Episode 4,S1.
Or not.
As we saw in the trailer,there will be certain additional story aside from the house,including the coast full of dead corpses.
Conclusion
All of the stuff I have written here is based entirely on piecing together what we have so far.Obviously,major choices (4-5 each episode,according to Season 1) have been left out,and honestly I can't wait to see how the episode concludes.
So far,the episode seems to be action-packed,emotional,with fast-paced storyline,which is in no way a bad thing.To be honest,to add my personal opinion,TT did just the thing with writing in S2.
If you actually read everything to this point,seriously,thank you.
Feel free to discuss,and have a nice day.
I will edit afterwards if I have missed something I noticed,or just want to add something else.

Half the images are broken
Don't forget about what appears to be dead Roman at 53 seconds in the new trailer.
You genius! Great spotting! That has to be 100% true. I recognise the jacket he's wearing.
Aye,I intentionally didn't put Roman in.Honestly I don't see such a big resemblance. :P
Only 2,unfortunately.The reason is that they were captured from my screen directly,and the new layout does not support uploading from your PC.So I tried a method I though might work,however,it apparently did not.
Where did you see the drawing of Kenny?
omg nevermind I just found it, sorry. hahaha.
A broken image on the post.Take a look at the trailer above,and pause at the time Clementine looks at the photo of Lee.You can see the drawing of Kenny and his family in her bag from Episode 3.
Thats awsome, thank you
You don't really see much of him, and only for a second. But I can see it when I pause. The jacket, the shaved head, the stuble. It's the jacket that confirms it all though.
Im pretty sure it's him
Makes you wonder what happened to him. Who killed him?
I keep calling him "Cerberus guy" because that mark on his shirt reminds me vaguely of the Cerberus logo from Mass Effect.
He's appeared several times in the teasers and I think he will almost definitely be part of the group and be a major character this season (assuming he survives more than an episode).
WHEN is interesting. After 259 days. In dlc finale Wyatt said they didn't find Roman, so probably he was killed between 259 and 400 days. This should be the time of second season, because corpses aren't too old.
