I shot Rebecca because I was terrified that if I didn't, Rebecca would either bite the baby, or get up and bite Bonnie, who is my favorite character right now.

I like Bonnie the most, too. Her or Mike, actually, which sucks because they're the most expendable to die in the gunfight

I hope TT truly surprises is and has nobody die

Imagine a group of a hundred motorcycles driving down a freeway. Eventually, they hit a junction. One road goes northwest and the other goes northeast. So one guy, we'll call him S, says, "Let's go northwest!" A mile past the intersection, a semi careens into the group and kills ninety of them. Ten are wounded, but they survive and keep going. Eventually, they hit 10,000 miles. S suddenly has his consciousness thrown into his past body right before the junction. Now, he says, "Let's go northeast!" All 100 bikers survive. Happily ever after, right? But what about the ten, no nine, who went northwest and survived? What happens to the reality they were living? Does it just disappear now that S has changed the past? It's not like only bad things happened on that 10,000 mile journey. Maybe one of them fell in love with a gas station attendant and got her pregnant or maybe one adopted a homeless kid that joined the adventure. That 10,000 mile journey would be full of stories. Romances, farewells, friendships...the loss of those ninety lives is horrible and unfortunate, but what would rewriting their history mean? The nine who survived lived full lives and did the best they could with the hand they were dealt. How could it be right to just erase all that? Isn't that worth something? Is there a point to a world where everything is happy? Are people who struggle for a better life just idiots? Being human is about fighting even when it seems hopeless and finding happiness in a world that hates it. Are you saying that's worthless?

My favourite character is Nick... However, he's kinda dead right now.

I like all the current characters in the group a hell of a lot. Mike is awesome, which is really saying something considering that he hasn't had much screen-time.

I like Bonnie, too. I was kinda pissed at her for betraying us, but she's made up for that mistake in my opinion.

Luke and Kenny are also some of my favourites. I rarely agree with Kenny on the big decisions, but he's a cool character and I like him all the same. 

I find myself agreeing with Luke a lot, and I like him as a character a lot, too.

I feel pretty depressed that some if not all of them will die next episode. *Sigh*

 

Also, if we have to make a "Luke vs Kenny" decision, who are you going to choose?

"There's no "I" in team" 

"Yeah, there's no "U" either. So I guess if I'm not on the team, and you're not on the team, nobody's on the God damn team. The team sucks!"

If I HAD to choose, It would probably be Kenny because I think there's more potential there. I think if that were to happen, whoever lives will just die sometime that episode anyways. Telltale wouldn't make it so that going into season 3, some people may have Kenny and some people may have Luke, just too much work. I'd hope there's an option C, neither of them..

What would you guys think of this? The dust settles and we see whoever's left of the shootout, Clem and probably another person or two. It's shown that Arvo survived the shootout,
and now he's at your mercy. What do you do? Shoot him for getting probably most of your group killed, or spare his life?

Personally I'd kill him because he probably got my boy Mike killed, but that's just me.

I'd gladly shoot that ass hole. I hope WE get the option to kill him, because I wanted to kill Troy and Carver, but someone else got to do that. Bah.

Also, season 3 might be with new characters, so the Luke/Kenny decision might actually decide how Clementine's story ends.

Or, if S3 isn't with new characters, they might give Luke/Kenny most of the same dialogue, with a few differences here and there, to make it easy to do. I dunno.

Yeah I know what you mean, I could see a thing where Luke wouldn't want to and Kenny would. A choice like killing Arvo made me think of that end of that trailer for episode 5, who will you become? It'll be interesting, hopefully we get some hard decisions.

Yeah. Even though the choices made in season 2 didn't make much of a difference, they were really hard to make during the heat of the moment. That's what matters to me.

Choices like, go and find Kenny for give yourself up to Carver (In episode 2) or if you should leave Sarah or not (Episode 4) were really hard for me to make.

More choices like those, please.

I wouldn't shot Arvo right off the bat, I just have a feeling there's more to learn about that situation. I'd hear his story, and then probably blow his head off, because I like every character that's left in our group and if they take out Mike I'll be a vengeful little girl. As far as choosing between Kenny and Luke...I've ran through this in my head a million times, and I don't think I'll know that answer until I'm in the moment. I'm leaning towards Luke because of Kenny's history of instability, but I'm also one of those irrationally loyal types...and Kenny is Clem's oldest friend left. 

 

Sigh, I have a feeling there will be a shit ton of unabashed tears in the near future.

I meant "wouldn't shoot", not "wouldn't shot". 

 

Sorry, I have real issues when I notice that I've jacked up my spelling or grammar. Makes me look like this...  :smiley-confused002:
