This is what happens when you lose a good writer. Realistically, maybe the problem was having Clem as a protagonist. It doesn't make sense that a child is ALWAYS the most rational person in the room as well as a hero. She's strangely balanced after all the death she's witnessed (especially Lee's).
This is inherently the issue with having a game of choice that doesn't have true branches. Many players decide to be good or bad. Because it is a game, they aren't truly affected by the world in which they exist and therefore have characters like Clem who seem out of place. Maybe if Sarah was more significant, this wouldn't feel so obvious to me. She could have been the relationship the game needed rather than a way of saying 'Can't help everyone'
It was an okay season. I really see it as Kenny's story more than Clem because Clem isn't a very deep character (I know we all love her, but it's true). I wish someone would do a game of choice justice. The Knights of the Old Republic has still done it best in my eyes. Maybe it's because there were no trilogies with which to deal.
