Yeah - 'helplessness' and 'vulnerability' are much more present in the viewer's mind when they're the one pushing the thumbstick forward as far as it can go and cursing that you can't go faster.

This is something that happens to me a lot in the Walking Dead, particularly in season 2, as I curse at people asking me to do things that as a child, Clem is completely ill equipped to do. (Although TWD is now overplaying its hand a bit there in my opinion. Clem is doing too much)

I think the TWD folks are trying to nudge you into realizing Clem is becoming too much. Her speech choices can be quite bad ass, and the characters around her when they react are making her/us realize just that.

I get the feeling the last not-yet-released Ep5 will make all this come to a head, as in Season 1 Lee was given a whole breakdown of his actions by the bad guy, in this one someone gives Clem a speech about her outlandish behavior this time around and how it's broken her as a child/person. And something horrible w/ the baby. Horrible. :(

I'm eager to play it. Good stuff.
