Train scene.
I have a couple logic questions about it.

1. Why Max didn't just rewinded back and said chloe to get her leg out of switch mechanism?

2. In real life if your leg is stuck in line-switch mech your bones will be crushed to pieces (Even in heavy army boot) but Chloe doesn't care at all.

3. In real life train will stop automatically anyway if there's something blocking the mech from closing to the end.

I think thats why its called life is strange even the normal and logical things are strange XD
Also i think Max couldn't rewind
so far back in time.

Ostensibly:

1) Max cannot rewind back that far.
2) It's just her boot caught. She could pull her leg out if she wanted, but she's in a panic and can't do it in time.
3) Arcadia Bay has crappy train sensors that failed and/or the way her boot is caught still allows for the connection to be made.

In reality:
The train is travelling at the speed of plot[tvtropes.org].

That makes sense.

What pisses me off much more in this scene is the fact that you cannot rewind to change the way of getting her out - I wanted to try unleashing the big rolling thing and then going for the wire cutter but guess what, no rewind point and then a fscking savegame checkpoint so I'd have to restart the whole damn episode to change my decision there. WTF.

The train/tracks has/have a special meaning to Max and Chloe. They are both dangerous and, at the same time (as Max quoted Kerouac), inspire the "romance of travel" (as I remember it?).
So, considering this, I think you have to cut the writers some slack because they wanted to create a dramatic scene with an emotional conclusion and relief. Perhaps it was also thought as a foreshadowing of the things to come, showing the inherent complication with Max's timepowers.

It just goes to show that playing on the train tracks is likely about as safe as playing on the freeway...
