That's a pretty great way to put it.

I'm a huge fan of Telltale Games 'The Walking Dead'. It has to be one of my favourite games over the past couple of years. Season one was one of those games I rated as a 9, even a 9.5/10. It has some of the best pieces of storytelling that I've come across in some 24/25 years of gaming. It's a real gem and I was genuinely sorry when it all came to an end. I couldn't get enough of it.
Season two so far has taken a little bit of a step back for me, but I think a lot of this is down to we knew what we were expecting after the first season. A 'random month in Clem’s life' is indeed a great way of putting it! I'm still thoroughly enjoying it though and I don't necessarily see it in a worse light. It is what it is. I'm glad Omid and Christa also featured in the first episode, but I still haven't a clue what happened to Christa's baby. Unless we will discover this over the next few episodes is yet to be seen but I think that was poor form by Telltale's high standards. Bringing Kenny back was a 'must' and I'm over the moon he returned. I do think the first episode suffered slightly without him.
I don't want to give anything away about episode three for those who haven't played or watched it yet, but I thought it was done very well. It's the best episode of series two so far. A little short maybe (there's at least two ways it could have been extended in my opinion) but overall I was very happy with it. Genuinely tense in the final few minutes, too.

I think Episode 3 would have greatly benefitted from going at a slightly slower pace, it felt like everything happened to quickly. But I still think it was pretty great, it had some pretty great moments.
Though I have been thinking about the lack of a goal and I think that I've realized why I get that feeling. Of course, first off let me warn that I'll speak about spoilers for the entire season so far. Anyway, I feel that the ultimate goal is not really lost, it's just been greatly obscure due to the more important situations that keep coming up. These situations have to be dealt with before anything can be done.
This paragraph is full of spoilers. The ultimate goal will be, I believe, going to Wellington, since I believe that's where Christa mentions they're going in Ep1 and Kenny mentions it in Ep2. The reason for going to Wellington seems to be that they want to take advantage of the intense winter since it seems to slow down the walkers but there's also fresh water (apparently) and it's safe (supposedly). The preview we get of Ep5 shows a corpse covered in snow, which means that they might make their goal of reaching Wellington by winter. Of course, so far they got sidetracked. In Ep1, we deal with the getting separated from Christa, meeting the new group and Clem's (dog) bite. In Ep2, they meet Kenny's group and were trying to run from Carver (but failed). In Ep3, they had to escape Carver's camp. Hopefully in Ep4 and Ep5, they will focus more on going to Wellington. I feel that they might reach Wellington by the end of Ep4, based on the preview of Ep5.
So yeah, it seems like it's not definitely aimless once you give it some more thought (it's easy to forget things that are said between episode releases). The goal is just obscured since Kenny isn't constantly saying "BUT LEE, MUH BOAT!" every few minutes like in Season 1.
Also, this is part of why I like getting these early, I actually enjoy the wait and speculation between episodes.

Out of curiosity, did they ever release the Jurassic Park Tell-tale game and was it any good? Thought it looked cool in some preview. I haven't played a TT game yet but want to try soon.

Yes, that Jurassic Park game is out for, I think, PS3/360 and PC. It was apparently bad, but I never played it myself so I can't comment.

It did come out. I haven't heard good things about it.. By all means if you like dinosaurs I'm sure it's a fine little adventure game.

Well, how bad can it be? I got some of their older stuff from before TWD from a Humble Bundle I think, and the ones I tried were pretty decent at least.

It's my understanding (meaning I've talked to people who are bigger TellTale fans than me) that none of their games are bad. It's just that before The Walking most people jusy could not care about the genre.
The Unlosing Ranger

Yeah, Jurassic Park seems to be their only game that's actually considered bad, unlike anything else before or after The Walking Dead. I mean, Sam & Max, Tales from Monkey Island, Back to the Future... they're all good.
