The Most Shockingly Needless Deaths (So Far)

What death do you think was the most preventable so far?

I want to say that kid that was with Ben: Travis. He knows walkers are coming so he stands facing he opposite direction and when the walkers finally get close enough, he turns around, falls, and watches as they very, very slowly approach.

I'm sorry, that kid was all kinds of stupid.

    Carley/Doug, both of them.

    You could have easily told Clem to go toss Carley the ammo from her purse and then rushed to save Doug.
    EDIT: Carley could've also kicked the zombie and fended for herself as well. Again proving that a gun isn't enough in an apocalypse :p

    true, you could say the doug and carley deaths were preventable, i would much rather have doug kick every zombie that tried to get in in the face rather than use his back as a make shift barrier and also carley could have head stomped the zombie, has she never seen resident evil?

    In all fairness, Travis was busy involuntarily vomiting after watching his teacher's leg get hacked off, he didn't realize how close the walkers were.

    The most needless death was Mark IMO because he was a cool guy who did nothing to the St Johns, in fact he was the one giving them all the compliments, unlike the rest of the group.

    Mark's death wasn't needless, they needed something to BBQ.

    I'll agree with that one, Chet's death is definitely needless considering all you had to do to save him was leave earlier.

    Chet's death is kinda weird. I thought, if he's alive, he would help in Ep2, since he's on a farm and Ep2 had a farm. But it didn't turn out that way. And the police officer didn't show up again either. Maybe later they both will play a bigger role. I mean... what's the point of making two characters that you use just for one single small scene? O_o

    There is 85.2 miles (I googled) between Atlanta and Macon. The Greene farm is somewhere in between, probably off the beaten track; Chet and Andre are in the dust.

    How much is it between Atlanta/Macon and Savannah? Also, in Ep3 we're on a train (don't know which direction, though...) so we may get close to Chet's farm, maybe?

    They traveled southeast from Atlanta to Macon and Savannah is another 166 miles further southeast by highway, leaving Chet even further in the dust.

    Oh... Huh... What was his purpose in the game and story then?! O_o

    In the daytime, he gave Shaun someone to talk to as Lee approached the fence so he knew they weren't walkers and at night he gave Shaun and Andre a reason to be there.

    Travis. I vastly prefer the version where he gets shot and the chained up teacher is eaten. Just feels right.

    I like how Lee is the only black guy. The police officer should be a part of any of the future episodes, and lets say lee is in trouble with walkers, if you chose nighttime mr. Police will help you. if you chose daytime he wont.

    The cop driving you around in episode 1. Keep your eyes on the road and stay alive.

    I'm not sure Clem could've actually reached the purse on top of the counter.

    Chet was kind of a dud of a character, it's like telltale couldn't figure out what to do with the guy if he survived Clem's neighborhood... so they had the guy just like, walk home in the middle of night during the zombie apocalypse. Kinda silly.

    Travis' death wasn't all that shocking; needless, sure, but as soon as that kid bragged about his dad being special forces (knowledge isn't absorbed simply by being near somebody who knew what they were doing kid), I knew he was dead, and probably in a pretty stupid manner... I wasn't exactly shocked when he puked and got himself eaten.

    The teacher. Not seeing that bigass chain around a tree? Oh, come on...

    That wasn't needless, that was weeding out the gene pool.

    i'd say those certain people in ep3 where all pretty needless...seriously ttg went way past the dark side...

    The girl in the beginning of ep 3 might beat Travis, for me. If she's been alive for at least 3 months after the zombie apocalypse started, she had to know noise attracted them. And what does she do?

    She runs into the middle of the street--screaming.

    What's worse, she just kind of turned in circles. It wasn't like she didn't have a place to run. She could have ran towards Lee and Kenny.

    I let her die and didn't feel too bad. Hearing the screams mad me feel a little bad, but she was seriously off.
