![]() ![]() We saw something more interesting about Max and Chloe with the final scene, in which time travel is more imaginatively explored. I thought the whole thing was crudely handled, but I hope I’m proved wrong and that it turns out that these events add something meaningful to their relationship. There certainly doesn’t seem to be much inner dialogue from Max on this issue. I clicked "yes" to "do they kiss?" and so engaged in what I suspect to be a program of mild titillation, rather than a valid exploration of an intense and complex relationship. But a part of me hopes Dontnod is fooling with us here, that the writers are upending this tired convention, or they are positing Chloe’s sexual orientation as something that is neither here nor there. Fingers crossed it's not the latter.Ĭolin: There are a lot of male writers who, given a scenario featuring two young women alone in a room together, are going to write in a shedding of clothing and some sort of make-out scenario. or it could be a very frustrating red herring. This could be indicative of something deeper. We don’t know much about Chloe’s sexual orientation, or even Max’s, for that matter. I’m willing to hold my judgment to see if it shakes out in a meaningful way. Max shows little to no interest in her dating life, which makes perfect sense when you consider everything else she has going on. I’ve loved Life is Strange because of its focus on friendship. The kiss scene - what did you do, by the way? - was a little weird and definitely clumsy. Sure, you don't need your two teenage leads stripping down to their underwear when they could have done literally anything else in that school, but at least it didn't feel exploitative. Megan: I didn't have problems with the pool scene. How did you feel about this direction, which, frankly, they have been heavily trailing since Episode One? It’s a shame that the actual gameplay is so annoying How often do we see that in games? And then we get a vaguely Dead or Alive swimming pool moment and even a kiss. ![]() There was a big theme running through this episode: the friendship and the closeness between Max and Chloe, which is great. ![]()
