I find it very hard to believe that if this was a real life situation you would save the most passive and distant person in the group over a person that not only saved your life twice in 5 minutes but enabled you to get in the drug store in the first place. Even a homosexual who had no interest in the beauty of women would have chosen Carly in that situation. It's human nature. You do something for me I do something for you, give and take. I don't like to be in debt to people for them to call me on it when they need a favor. I would want to makes things square with the person who helped me, did me a favor or saved my life.
I know if I were in a zombie apocalypse and I were saved twice by a sharpshooter, I'd leave them to die because this other anti-social member may have untapped potential. I mean, I already know my savior can shoot a gun. What does the Mystery Box in the corner contain? It could be anything. It could be another sharpshooter.
... Or I'll just save Carley. Doug's a seemingly cool guy who would be hard pressed to offend. Carley has stuck her neck out for you twice. Heaven forbid you at least give back half of what you owe. :S
I chose Doug because we have plenty of gun people anyway (lilly can use a gun)
But no one else can make an alarm system and use a laser pen
Yeah I understand that logic but are you telling me that you wouldn't, naturally return the favor by saving the person who had saved your life twice in 5 minutes? No one is that ungrateful. If you wasn't playing the game and someone on the phone explained the situation in the game to you leaving out the details of the characters genders but they told you character A saved their life twice, put their neck on the line for them and their friends so they could get in the drugstore, then helped clear out the motor inn so their group could live there and character B had one brief conversation of chit chat with them in one scene and asked you who you think they should save, whilst explaining that character B was good at technical stuff would you have still told them to save character B? If your answer is no then you see why most people chose to save Carly. Not just because she's a girl but because, in real life it would be a natural go to response on the basis of Lee's relationship with her at that point in the story and the sacrifices she had made for him and his group.
I couldn't close this post without mentioning the fact that know one would have known that Doug would have been able to use a laser pen or make an alarm at the point in the story where they chose to save him or not because he doesn't do those things until episode 2 which was set 3 months later. Also at that point in the story Carly was the only person in the group with a gun.
In episode 1 your choices should be based on your relationship with the characters, your understanding of the characters or you preferences between the 2 characters. Given what i've stated I see no real reason to prefer Doug to Carly at that point in the story.
I chose Doug because he could come in handy later. People claim it's good to have someone handy with a gun in a Zombie apocalypse and I can agree with that. But it doesn't take an extremely skilled person to shoot slow moving targets. Targets coming at you at a very slow pace. Anyone, even clem, could make the shot. You also don't get to survive in an apocalypse if you fail to understand the need for batteries.
I mean, she was a reporter for a radio station and didn't even know how to work a radio...
You say that but in the walking dead Andrea is one of the most valuable members of Rick's group and that is because she has the most gun training. If everyone can use a gun in Rick's group it's because most of them were trained by her. There are many gun users in the walking dead, yet Andrea happens to be one of the longest survivors.

What good was the alarm really? It was more of a gimmick. Doug's mechanical alarm just showed how alert Carly was as a character since she was the one who noticed the brothers. As for the laser pen, given what those brothers put us through I would rather have Carly shoot one in the ear than Doug flash a laser pen beam in his eye to distract him. The Doug version is more like PG-13 version since he doesn't like guns.
Things you can do with doug/ doug does in ep 1:
- Go outside
- Reprogram a remote
Things you can do with carley/carley does in ep 1:
-The battery thing
-Help glen(get another POV on the gun situation with the girl)
- Be confronted and find someone trustworthy with your past
- She's a proven good shot
If you compare every dialogue exchange between the characters you would find reason 1. Reason 2 is some people, probably operate under a girls>guys in a saving one situation (eg people save duck because you save kids first)
Reason 3 is some people are seedy and want the titties
People saved Carley because she was a girl, cause they are lonely losers that think they can get it on with her later on. I bet atleast 60%-80% of those who saved Carley was like "Omfg boobs <333 yes yes! Omfg game boobs, I want them! Fuck the real life ones, tried it, didn't work!" Yeup.
Well, I saved Carley because she had a gun, Doug had technology skills, which on a zombie apocalypse it's not really important, power will shut down eventually. Besides, the alarm Doug invented, wasn't really clever on my opinion, yes, we could hear if a walker/bandit got inside, but then, walkers around may hear it too, which is bad.
Come on...we all know we saved Carley because we wanted to bang her....not to mention the rivalry between Lee and Doug over the pretty girl....get rid of the guy she likes and be the guy to be liked by her...haha which worked pretty well until that Lilly made that stupid stupid move

I'm gay I just had to do it... i waterproofed myself from your argument lol

I saved her cause I trusted her, and she saved my life twice. Clem's life too. Plus if you save her, you ahve the chance to reveal your secret to the group. Doug's a funny, nice guy and all, but Carley does more for Lee and gives him the added benefit of revealing his past before Lilly does.

Why do you sound so angry?
I saved her because you got to know her a lot better than Doug in episode 1.
Yup... I just pìcked Carley because I didn't really know Doug... I understand why most people chose Carley over Doug. Doug is a pretty cool guy too, if you ask me. The point was that we couldn't save both of them, right?
If Doug ran out of the Pharmacy and saved Me, Clem, Kenny, Duck, and Katjaa and if he saved Clem/Me in the pharmacy with the Bathroom walker, and proved useful in the save Glenn at the motor inn mission, then I would have saved his ass.
What Kind of person would let her die after she saves your ass multiple times and in order to save a guy who can program a universal remote by memory, won't let you fetch the keys until you prove dead guy works in the pharmacy with a photo, and yells and attracts more walkers who want to kill you when you are trying to be quick and discrete?
I saved her because;1 she kept stepping up.2 she had a gun. 3 That little twit Doug didn't even step outside the gate when I went for the keys. Some backup he is...

The people who saved Carley are hypocrites, I laugh at then.
The fact is, you're a bad guy for saving Carley.
You're not meant to know that one of them dies. And all these dumb Carley fans keep saying "Zomg she seems more capable than Doug" yeh ok...shes more capable? Then why did you help her and not Doug???
O-o-o-o-o-OWWWWNAAAGEEEE!!! Carley fans aint got no argument to that^.^

No I saved her because she kept stepping up. Being a decent shot was part of it but at the end of the day it was the same reason for siding with Ken and not throwing Duck out. I owed her. What kind of person betrays someone who followed you out to find Glen the way she did?

You're right! By saving the person who saved my life twice, I must be a monster! How could I have EVER of thought that I was in her debt! And she obviously lied about trusting me by not ratting me out to everyone else! Thank you for opening my eyes.
The first time I saved carley because she had a gun, so I thought she could shoot the walkers at duck away.
But they both died rather stupid. Carley should just had kicked one of the walkers and doug should have rip the hands away. I mean, it were just two walkers who were holding him.

It's not what I would do, it's what Lee would do, and Lee wanted Carley all over his face.
Saving Carley gives you the opportunity to tell others your past. Not really a big thing, but eh.
And I do not think she's BANGING HOT. If that is banging hot by your standards, well...

I really don't understand how people don't get it: you barely got to know Doug in episode 1, Carley saved your life multiple times and got WAY more screen time. The fact that she's an attractive lady is just the icing on the cake.

Poor Doug was doomed to spend the rest of his short post-apocalypse life in socks and sandals
