I find something about Lily's last words strangely poetic. "I don’t wanna die." How many people do you think have said exactly that to her? How many times was she perfectly comfortable ignoring them? And she thought the plea that she ignored so, so many times was going to save her ass?

I remember playing this year's back now and literally crying at clems "death" one of the only characters I've cared for that much and was so happy she lived and got the "Happy" ending, missing a leg sucks but for some surviving is winning and for clem seems like that's exactly her personality. Winning no matter the cost

You know something neat that happens with the subtitles in this game?

Through it all, each character gets a specific color for their own subtitles. Clem’s is white.

When you start playing as AJ and see Clem again, her subtitles are now pink like they used to be in season 1 when she was an NPC. It’s AJ’s that are white now when you play as him.

There’s a cool connection you can draw here, which is that now with her crippling disability, she’s going to have to let other people take care of her to an extent. She’s free from the heaviest burdens of being forced for so long from such a young age to take agency in traumatic and horrible situations. She’s released from the overbearing burden of having to make such difficult or even impossible choices. The game’s choice mechanic design reflects this, where more and more what you choose to say will not directly dictate AJ’s actions, to the point where he completely disregards whatever your final choice as Clementine is in favor of making a better one. And then you playing as AJ get to assure her that she did all she could and that’s okay.

I love how when we swap over to AJ's choices, it's "is she serious?" And "I won't tell him I'm mad" it's like we are inside AJ's head and we're seeing what he's thinking

You have no idea how long I’ve been waiting for this episode

Crazy to think for a short time, this game would have had the half-life 3 treatment for a while, as everything wasn't sure when the original Telltale shut down.

I think it's cool even though Lee was in a brief moment in her life, she still thinks of him and has that "talk" with him on the train. You'd think it would a parent in that scenario but no, it is Lee. I think it shows how much of an impact he had on her. And to reflect how much she misses him too.
I miss Lee.

“Maybe I romanced the wrong person after all.” YES, YES YOU DID SIR. I am a Louis stan until I die.

I think season 4 is the best out of the series, the only real thing I like to nit-pick is that I wish after the louis/violet or tenn death, you could choose if you still trust AJ to make his own decisions, if you don't trust him anymore, he listens to you in the ending, and if you still trust him with decisions, he cuts the leg.

the stargazing scene with Violet just CANNOT be beat, it's so gorgeous. Louis 100% got the short end of the stick there, poor guy

In regard to just how Clem survived: Supposedly a developer made a deleted post explaining that Clem survived because she got her leg amputated at around 20 minutes, as opposed to Lee having his for longer and fainting from it. The dev explained that the blood loss from the axe wound next to the bite helped delay the process, and after the amputation Aj used the flint Clem had from the cave scene to cauterize the bleeding. He then masked their scents in walker remains and used the wheelbarrow in the shed to get the unconscious Clementine back to Erickson.

This season is like the little train that could. When we thought it was completely over they swooped in at the last second and saved this season. So glad they got to finish this story it really does feel like a satisfying ending.

i was hoping to see what he would say about the call back with the salt lick but i guess he never did that. that is one of my favorite things in the final season it shows how much shes grown but deep down shes still that little girl we found in that tree house all alone 11 years ago

I think Clem not dying is even better because it DIDNT work for Lee (my Lee kept his arm, but you know what I mean lol) or Pete talking about someone he knew doing it and surviving.  and so… having it go and WORK I think speaks to that optimism you’re talking about throughout. And how it pays off sometimes. I tear up and was bawling like a baby when it cut to black. And I remember my little brother (who was also crying) go ‘it’s not that big a deal’…. We played every episode together as they came out. And to get to play it with him til the end was amazing. And… I relate to Clem a lot. So her being able to rest easy and it end well for her is just a really needed win.

Can honestly say that as a gronwass dad of 38. The last 15mins of the game had me crying in the best way posible....

To see Clem and Lee together again is always an emotional moment.

I have heard that there may be a 5th season. As much as I think it ended perfectly here, I love Clem and would absolutely want to see her thrive with her found family.

one thing that i always loved is that when marlon has his bow pointed at clementine and he asks her to drop the knife she just drops it. the player has no choice in the matter to be cautious or anything. it shows how much clem loves aj

Just finished the final season the other day. Man this series was a lot of fun. I thank telltale for such a great story❤ #stillnotbitten

Hearing 'Take Us Back' even with you commentating took me way back to the first time I heard it at that point in the game, and the waterworks started all over again.
Think I need to go back myself and play through all 4 seasons soon, I adore this series. And huge HUGE kudos to the Still Not Bitten team for coming back to give us the ending, so much respect for them.
