How many of you guessed the whole thing out?

Even this girl, who isn't all that bright, had it figured by first interaction.
It's all about being genre savvy. I aspire to be a writer myself some day, I saw this coming a mile a away. They were too nice and together, it's the apocalypse... Take a look at all the Nice Together Simple Folk in this Genre:
The old couple from the Book of Eli, The people from Andale from Fallout 3, etc.

It was pretty obvious... Who invites desperate, hungry people who pulled guns on you to your Dairy Farm during the Apocalypse? It's like it hasn't registered to these people that the world's ended... That's the biggest red flag there is.

I hope the story line was not what the delay was all about.

I saw the cannibal thing coming a mile away as it's been used in so many post-apocalyptic story lines. Book of Eli, The Road, and the Walking Dead novel series, among others. Anyone acting that nice from the get go can't be trusted. As soon as Jolene starting spouting "tell'em what you got planned for 'em"--my suspicions were cinched.

I thought it was a bit cliche and the execution was actually not all that well thought out. Why did these guys so quickly resort to cannibalism when they had a field of corn AND a freaking cow???--Which, by they way, Brenda initially said was sick then turned out to be pregnant. These guys must not have been very good farmers if they didnt even know their cow was pregnant. Furthermore, what did they initially intend to serve for dinner before Mark was shot? And why in the world would they try to go up against a group of ten people when they could have just picked off the few stragglers around their farm? I think TT could have thought of something creepier and more original than just cannibals. Like maybe trying to create a new "community" by luring groups in and killing the males while keeping the females alive. Or anything more unique than cannibalism!

On the upside, on my second playthrough I did like the fact that there was quite a bit of foreshadowing and linked plots through the episode. Jolene survelling the camp, the bear trap in the woods, and the murder scene on the road to the farm. I would have liked to learn more about the truth behind the electric fence coming on and the "bandits", however...

Of course I knew something was up when those two hillbilly's showed up looking for gas, but unfortunately, Lee could only follow the plot of the story and not act on his own instincts.

Plus Danny's voice definitely cemented my suspicions.

They planned on serving up Mark AND Lee. Did you REALLY buy that he accidently turned on the fence? They weren't trying to go up against they were baiting them in to get their guard down.

yeah, "accidentally" killing two men in the group by frying them would certainly do that.

[dubesor]

The fence was turned on on purpose to kill them. He said he heard him scream to turn it on, but it was turned on far before he screamed. Also he wouldn't know they could see the lamps.

[CapnJay]

the electricity knocks them out. and they keep lee in the meat locker and mark in the upstairs room

[adam86shadow]

The electric fence wouldn't kill, proved when Andy hit it

[TheWaltzingBread]

I figured we would just trade for some food, deal with some bandits and leave after mark was cross-bowed since we had some food.

I didnt really mind the St John's probing questions since these people were probably alone in the countryside for days and were just glad to see another human being they could talk to

[Tymes Rhymes]

When the mom wouldn't let me see Mark and said that I would just have to trust her that he was ok, I pretty much knew some crap was going down.

[Milosuperspesh]

i also suspect the first arrow may not of been from the bandits... the angle mark gets shot from is from the farm house NOT the forest and thats after the fence didn't fry em..

other wise it's a pretty nice coincidence marks gets shot lol

if you kill andy with the fence he seemingly does die but cos of the rain and the generator being damaged and smoking, he seemed to just fall off. but the game does say you killed andy/finsihed him off so logic says he's dead.

[adam86shadow]

Actually if you don't punch Andy he gets shot and pushed into fence but lives

I second that this has occurred. I don't make videos of my playthroughs, I'm nto techy enough. Someone said you didn't have to punch Andy as badly, so my third play through I didn't. The bastard proceeds to knock me over and start a second scuffle.

It's true. I was curious about what the group thinks of you if you beat him senseless or go easy on him. If you don't hit him when he's down, the fight takes a different turn.

[Galdis]

I suspected cannibalism in the scene just before discovering the bloody room with Brenda refused to let me see Mark.

[CapnJay]

How many of you Actually went into the bathroom and poked through the medicine cabinet above the sink?

I had ONE occurance where Lee was given the option to shoot Andy. Must be because I stopped hitting him halfway or something. Can't get that scene to come up again for some reason. I would much rather shoot him than to kick him against the electric fence. Much more satisfying.

I did. It was a totally pointless exercise.

[fanganga]

I suspected cannibalism the same time Galdis did - saw the butchery room and thought "Hmm, they have been laying on the 'Where did they put Mark?' hints a bit thick". I'd suspected something was up for a lot longer, what with the farm seeming too good to be true, and Danny all but saying "I am an evil man, and I am lying to you" at the camp. I'd been thinking the episode was going to hinge on their conflict with the "bandits" - that you were going to find out that the "bandits" were good guys the St. Johns had betrayed and that the big moral choice would be to side against the St. Johns for justice or with them for a slice of the good life.

[Rock114]

I figured out that they were eating people, or were at least serving up Mark, pretty quick. At first, on the road to the farm with the probing questions, I justchanged the subject and I suspected that they weren't as good as they said, but decided to overlook that as just curiosity after isolation. Then the fence turned on, Mark got shot, and after they took him into the house we never saw him again. I tried to chock it up to my own natural paranoia, but after I talked to Brenda after the bandit camp I pretty much said "Yep, Mark stew tonight."

Didn't even need to open up that lock in teh barn, because I knew what I would likely find on the other side, though it WAS nice to see that Kenny didn't take them at face value despite his other faults. Didn't expect them to be keeping Mark alive with his legs hacked off though, that was a pleasant (not for Mark) surprise though. Also when he drags himself downstairs during dinner.
