somehow slipped my mind to log this one -- think it would be an easy slip for the best entry in the season one canon, and probably still is, for its excellent use of high and low stakes. it juggles and achieves a whole lot, the issue is it's just slightly too long; or paced a little too badly. all of the events are good, but there's maybe one too many. even then, what do you cut? it's maybe more symptomatic of the telltale formula, or the gameplay limitations. not quite as emotional as the first episode but I'm pretty sure this is the peak.
