So I finished the episode (it's out now by the way).

That was the single best episode Telltale has ever produced, and that includes Sam and Max Season 2 Episode 5.

Tales is now on Curse of Monkey Island level, and if Telltale keeps their reputation for outstanding endings (something the Monkey Island series has always been lacking, somewhat excepting the first game) then it'll be the best in the series.

Seriously, HUGE freaking spoilers ahead. If you haven't finished the episode yet, or plan to play it any time in the future, or even think that you might at some point feel inclined to play it then don't go on.
HOLY SHIT!

First this was all funny and stuff with some of the best jokes and clever puzzles with satisfying outcomes that I've ever seen in an adventure game.

Then suddenly it gets all dark and Guybrush dies and "How appropriate, you fight like a pox-infested cow" and I was all HOLY CRAP and then I shit myself.

Personally I preferred "Night of the Raving Dead" to "What's New, Beelzebub?" but I agree that "The Trial and Execution of Guybrush Threepwood" is better than either. The puzzles were mostly fun, the humor was fantastic, the plot was twisting and full of surprises, the voice acting continues to be fantastic, the characters are great and the graphics range from acceptable to hilariously awesome.

Considering that Stan is the icon for this episode I don't think it's a spoiler to say that he's back in this episode, and so is his jacket! :rofl: Telltale did a great job of bringing the 2D graphical gag into 3D.

I'm also continuing to love Morgan LeFlay. *sigh* So cute (though a little less so in profile). Between her and Elaine TMI certainly has much more desirable female characters than the Sam & Max games.
