Default Clem ending confused?

First, let me say that assuming Lee's death in the end was ridiculous.
Secondly, why didn't Clem go to the train? Why did it end with her in god knows where, seeing 2 people walking and BOOM, the end. There should be an episode 6 to actually understand what's happening.

Maybe there was a lot of walkers still around the train and it was unsafe for her or/and Christa and Omid to stay there and wait for each other.
No matter what Lee's final wish was plans don't always work out the way someone hopes...

I actually liked the cliffhanger and the symbolism of Clem picking up a shotgun shell similar to the one that saved Lee's life at the beginning of episode 1 but I'll be disappointed if that ending won't be explained in season 2.

I was thinking about this, and I have a decent explanation for why Telltale decided she should leave town no matter what.

The entire game, as we know, is about preparing Clem and helping her grow. So look at it this way - Clem is now adept enough to realise that she doesn't have to blindly follow instructions that may put her in danger. Savannah was crawling with walkers, it wasn't safe. She used the knowledge Lee had imparted and made a decision for herself what was best. She's mature enough to do that now, thanks to Lee.

Personally, I'm glad she was shown relatively safe, and not surrounded by walkers at the station.

To be really honest...

I would kind of prefer not playing with the same characters in Season 2.

I like these open endings. My cousin thinks the ending of No Country For Old Men was really stupid and that it ruined the movie. I think it was genius and I love the mystery! One of my favourites mostly because of that.

My Lee told her to stay out of cities.

Yeah the epilogue ruined it somewhat. You can still keep the mystery if you had just left that bit out, oh well.

My Lee told her to keep moving.

I'm 99% sure that the two figures who spot Clem from the hilltop are Christa and Omid. It seems really pointless to build up those two characters just to leave them out of the next season.

Wouldn't it be cool if Clem saw two people from the TV series or the Comic book and hooking up with them in a different medium?

No. Cause its Canon to the comics, noone in the comics met clementine yet, except Lilly, and thats it.

TV series crossover will never happen for obvious reasons.

One was a fat dude and the other was a tall skinny guy, doesn't look like Christa and Omid, at all.

They may take her charecter to the show. But without the current voice acting shell be half as good.

The great thing about that ending was that, it ended in a choice... you could SEE her making a choice in her head... does she call out? Does she hide? Are they strangers? Are they dangerous?.. this whole game was about choices.. and now we see Clem making one on her own.. nobody making it for her... TTG did a fantastic job animating the emotions going on in her head...

I feel the ending was really great.. There really is few options for them to end it.. everyone dies, everyone lives but its still hell, or a cliff hanger.

This ending is left wide open.. We do not know what is going to happen to Clem.. and having spent the entire game as Lee it makes sense that we do not know... because.. YES he is gone... IF he comes back through some miracle, it will RUIN the impact and emotions the first series created...

Clem's story may continue but it will be through the eyes of someone different...

Unless the next season is her trying to find them....

Glen and Hershel met Clementine in episode 1. The Lilly in the game isn't the same Lilly in the comics. Kirkman confirmed that in the back of one of the comics this year.

Her character was created solely to be that same person though, so for all intents and purposes she should remain so(also why i doubt she will ever appear again, so they don't have to change her original story).


As for Clem, i believe it was nighttime or sunset when Lee passed out, wasn't it? If so, then that is a huge amount of time between the ending and the epilogue, plenty for her to go to the train, see that it's swarming with thousands of walkers, think it over and decide it's best to leave the city.

El morbo, él pudo morbo es igual que el comic todos mueren hay desgracias por todos lados, ya se sabe lo que va pasar solo es para tenerte al pendiente, acuérdate que dijeron que la segunda temporada va ser diferente, tal vez ya ni salga Clementine, es como el comic los personajes desaparecen y regresan muertos ya no tiene chiste, es un residente evil.
