Everyone dies, again.
Except Clementine, then she meets up with another group and the cycle starts anew.
If theres going to be a season 3, I kinda hope its the finale.
Does anyone else feel like Season 2 is kinda slipshod in a way? I don't really like any of the characters, none of them are extremely well developed, and the good ones only stick around long enough to get killed even if you try to keep them alive as long as you can. They tried to get rid of the whole "your choices matter but really they don't" thing but it still isn't really working out.

I think Season 2 focuses on too many underdeveloped characters. [sp]Clementine literally wakes up with a new group around her and there are too many people to properly develop before it's time for them to get killed off one by one, and even then we have new characters introduced in each episode anyway. Even the likeable characters aren't well developed. Everyone here seems to love Mike, but who is he really? He's the guy that lifts you up and would eat the shit out of that raccoon. Most of these characters have the potential to be great but most of them die before we actually care about them. There's just no time to build relationships with them in these shorter episodes.[/sp]
I dident got overly excited on season 2 to be honest, nearly everyone that i was starting to get interesed on get killed or ran away
Telltale barely gave you any time to develope a relationship with them

While i love season 2 and i've enjoyed it so far, i have to agree that the character development is really sub-par to season 1.
Which sucks because I actually really like Carlos and Alvin as characters. [sp]but yeah they're both die as soon as they start to show personalities[/sp]

Season 2 has become extremely hit and miss. Episode 4's story went in circles, had numerous technical problems and generally felt rushed. As stated before me, the characters for season 2 are very lackluster as well.
I'm hoping the finale makes up for S2's shortcomings - but as Telltale has announced we're getting a Season 3, there isn't much hope for closure.
To be honest, while I agree that a lot of the characters are underdeveloped, I feel like its somewhat intentional. It seems only the important characters really stand out; Carlos, Rebecca, Bonnie, Mike sort of, and obviously Kenny. Luke and Nick I feel were properly fleshed out as well. But not even these characters were that well developed. I feel like it's because we're supposed to feel alone as Clementine; the groups in the first game felt permanent, while so far everything we've had with Clem has been extremely temporary.
I feel like in Episode 5 we're going to end up alone to some extent, and maybe we'll even find a better group to stay with. I just honestly hope they don't just do what they did last time again and have Clem die. I mean, even if we switch characters, I'd rather it not just rehash the same main-character-dies thing.
