The Most Tragic Part in Episode 5

[HiggsBoson2142]

What was it to you?

Because to me, it was realizing that Ben never did what he wanted to do, show he can do something right.

[DreadMagus]

The Ben/Kenny ending.

Ben for not being able to do that one thing right, and Kenny for choosing that moment to redeem himself.

[KennyTWD]

The ending.

[DreadMagus]

I don't know why, but I felt more proud of Clem than sad for Lee....

[harrowed777]

Clem seeing her Parents. I knew immediately when she stopped, and my heart broke for her.

[John W.]

Definitely the last exchange between Clem and Lee. I'm a grown ass man and I cried like a little girl during that conversation.

So many feels. Just... so many.

[darknessofheart]

Oddly enough, for me it was when they found the boat was stolen. That to me was so incredibly depressing because it sealed everyone's fate more or less. All the hope, hard work, and brief moments of peace from the previous episodes were gone once again and it seemed that there no more hope for survival.

It was just sad to think back to episode 4, remember how happy Lee, Clem, and Kenny were when they found that boat and believed they could all make it out alive and together. Episode 4 was a comedy compared to this episode since Molly left, Vernon and his group betrayed you all, and all of humanity seems lost beyond repair now with millions of walkers literally in and around every corner. The dream of survival was nearly crushed in this episode and it's really made apparent in that one scene.

[Vaxij]

The Ben/Kenny ending hit me, but I'll say the Lee/Clementine final moment along with the credits music. Never cried so much for a videogame in my freaking life.

[StreetsAhead24]

Lee and Kenny dying was the saddest part of this episode.

But at least Lee died knowing that he taught Clementine well and that she'll be able to live on and survive in this zombie apocalypse

[Zeruis]

The fact that Clem saw her parents as zombies, and having her to kill/leave Lee. So she lost her parents and Lee in the entirety of one day...

[Robbingrobin]

Seeing how Lee languishes.

[kirby18]

Clem seeing her Parents. I knew immediately when she stopped, and my heart broke for her.

This. surprised noones mentioned it. Obviously the last scene was almost painfully sad but can you think of what clem must feel. Wow. Literally just lost all 3 of her guardians. She came to savanah for one reason: to find her parents, she ran away knowingly from lee to find her parents, everytime you asked she said they were alive...I mean in a span of an hour this 9 year old saw her parents zombified and had to kill the last person she "loved"

[Ben_Kenobi]

The moment that Clementine finds out that Lee was bit. It was so sad. Right after she saw that her parents were dead, and then she finds out that Lee is going to have the same fate. That was when I teared up.

[kweed]

About Clem seeing her parents, we do see her mom as a walker as well, right?

But then, wasn't her mom killed in the episode 2? The lady named Jolene who was killed by one of the St. John brothers while you were out in the woods with him? Wasn't that her mom?

That truly was the most heart-breaking moment, btw.

[Robbingrobin]

No, Jolene was not her mom. Her mom was asian, as seen on a picture in ep 1. And her dad stood next to walker-mom, also a walker, I think.

[AnnaSan]

When Ben pissed his pants o.o nah jk
Definitely the ending, cried my eyes out ;_;

[SteveTheBlocks]

The Ben/Kenny ending.

Ben for not being able to do that one thing right, and Kenny for choosing that moment to redeem himself.

Even if Ben never did anything right, to me he did finally made it right with Kenny in the end, even though he was still a cause of Kenny's death, Kenny chose to stay with Ben, not abandoning him.

That goes to show that Kenny forgave him, and instead of killing himself with the bullet, he chose to use the last bullet on Ben so he wouldn't feel any pain, leaving himself to die by the walkers.

[kierano87]

My moment was forgetting clems birthday !!! Da fuq :(

[KCohere]

Watching Lee die and Clem having to steel herself to put him down. :(

[Haggis_McMutton]

to me, the whole episode has been tragic... every single part... it seemed like "downhill depression" (can't get better words, sorry...)

[Donut Funn]

"It was my job to take care of you.... now I can't do that anymore."

"I knoooow!"

That's when the tears started pouring from me.

[Rasher]

Making Clem kill her father figure. Poor kid has seen so much bad stuff already and she's only nine.

[Rambo297]

Kenny death...
Lee death...
Yeah... that made me very sad...

[Ninnuendo]

The moment that made me sigh is actually one that I expect no-one else to choose.

It's when you're sitting down with Radiobastard and he's explaining who he is and what you've done to him. In that moment you're face to face with the consequences of your actions and the real tragedy of humanity, that in this world, other people will have to die for you to live.

[Marumochi]

Seeing our hero struggle to get up off the floor, knowing his time is up now. The way he just accepts it. He'd saved Clem and that was all that mattered to him. He could die happy.

Lee was amazing. :(

[dukeleto]

Watching Lee cowering Clem with that disgusting stuff. :(
I don't know why but that sequence touched my soul. I imagined myself there doing that to a little girl while knowing we'll be seperated soon(and she is not aware of my condition yet); I'd probably cry silently when she turn her back to me. Her voice, the silence, the emotion... It just made my soul teared and my heart has broken while watching that scene.
So sad :(

[John W.]

Lee was amazing. :(

I almost broke my Q key trying to force him to get up.

[Marumochi]

I almost broke my Q key trying to force him to get up.
Me too.

I knew it was time though. :(

[lilTomTom]

Everything was tragic. There was not one lighthearted moment. If there was it was over shadowed by all the gloom, doom, and dread.

[Wrighty]

I lost it when Clem was supporting Lee and helping him walk across the room. Watching Lee trying to get up was heart breaking as well.

[HiggsBoson2142]

Everything was tragic. There was not one lighthearted moment. If there was it was over shadowed by all the gloom, doom, and dread.

Actually I smiled when Omid was talking about that bust of the guy in the attic,

[TWDfan1199]

What was it to you?

Because to me, it was realizing that Ben never did what he wanted to do, show he can do something right.

LOL I like that part because it made my choice of letting him die look like the right choice, he was dead weight and killed way too many characters. You guys letting him live, sounds like it costed another person's life. (Kenny). So he was responsible for Kenny (if you let him live), Carly, Lilly, Kat, Chuck, and Duck dying.

[Jokieman]

Even if Ben never did anything right, to me he did finally made it right with Kenny in the end, even though he was still a cause of Kenny's death, Kenny chose to stay with Ben, not abandoning him.

That goes to show that Kenny forgave him, and instead of killing himself with the bullet, he chose to use the last bullet on Ben so he wouldn't feel any pain, leaving himself to die by the walkers.

Ken chose his fate. Ben didn't cause this one. and Kenny would have chosen that fate at some point anyway. He needed to redeem himself, for himself.

[plaqueconspiracy]

Lee telling Clem that he has been bitten right after Clem see her both parents are amongst the walking dead.

Also me realizing that when she shut that gate that Lee would die and kill Clem (which thankfully didn't happen). That'd be an amazing ending though. Zombie Lee biting Clem who's crawled up in a corner... God... I'd have to take some anti-depressants if that was the case.

[Dee Jay]

Clem seeing her parents and then finding out about Lee's bite. Awful timing for her.

Ben and Kenny was quite sad as well, shows how quickly things can go to shit since there must only have been a few days that passed between them fleeing the motel from the bandits and Clem being the only known survivor of the group.

[livezombie72]

Ben and Kenny were real emotion tuggers for me. Especially when you don't realise at first Ben has been impaled. Once I saw the stake through his chest I was all, "Oh shit Ben..." and knew his fate was all but sealed. Then Kenny made the only unselfish choice for the first time throughout the season and finished Ben off so he wouldn't suffer...only to face that fate himself. For me I thought if anyone was going to survive it was going to be Kenny...how wrong I was.
The boat being stolen was also a big one for me. I think it was mentioned earlier here that after all that work...all hope of everyone escaping unscathed was lost.
Finally of course Lee's death. Which was disapointing for me, cause I had grown accustomed to the guy and had hoped he would survive the season. He was cool. Kind of knew his fate though with having waited so long for his arm to be amputated. He had to do it right away in order to have any hope at all for survival. But he did promise to keep Clem safe no matter what, so he made the ultimate sacrifice.
Molly said it all back at the school in episode 4..."In the end, the dead always win."

[RedKoolLoops]

One of the absolute worst parts for me was when the stranger asked how old Clem was and both Lee and I shouted out eight in triumph.

But when he said she was nine and it was actually her birthday six days ago, my heart shriveled up. That was just a devastating moment for me.

[thespanner]

When Clem was like 'Please get up Lee!' and tapping Q like a madman to try make Lee stand up in the jewellers at the end, but he just couldn't :(

[Angiebullet]

to me, the whole episode has been tragic... every single part... it seemed like "downhill depression" (can't get better words, sorry...)

it was...when i say Lee´s yellow eyes i was like: "hell no!!no way!!!they cant do that!!!!"

ps:i cried....a...lots...

[Rock114]

For me it's between the Ben and Kenny ending, and Clem and Lee in the store after she sees her parents.
