They seemed 'transparent' to me. Christa was only worrying about Omid, she seems to love, and Omid was just taken away of the episode. I did not learn much about them.
In fact I would have prefer to know more about Chuck. I suppose we will know more about Omid and Christa soon... Maybe the next real "parents" for Clementine??
is probably pregnant. Maybe I'm stating the obvious, but the throwing up, the getting super emotional over the woman in the cassette being told she had to terminate her pregnancy in Crawford... It seems Telltale is setting up the framework for it, at least.
Omid didn't really do anything worth noting this chapter.
waiting to happen in episode five, IMHO. The game has to have stupid people making really stupid decisions that forces the character to "deal" with them.
I didn't really care for them, they're alright. But I'll do what I can for Christa since she's pregnant. Felt bad after episode 3 though since I saved Omid because he hurt his leg, I didn't even know Christa was pregnant at the time haha
I think they're great. Omid has an upbeat personality that I like, even if Christa clearly wears the pants. Christa seems courageous and protective, and with further development could involve into a great leader. The fact that she was able to witness your actions with Clementine and see that she truly IS safe with you and that you are actually doing an outstanding job of taking care of her and the way it seems to cause her to have a lot of respect for you really makes this couple shine for me, and I REALLY hope they both survive Episode 5.

Very good read sir. I did not understand that on the first run, but now you say it, it seems obvious indeed.
As of the end of episode 4, I'm glad they're around. They seem to trust me. I don't want to say much else in case it's too spoiler-y, but I feel protective over Christa due to the fact she may be pregnant. Maybe it's some sort of sisterly bonding thing. Even though I'm playing as Lee. :P
What are your thoughts on the new characters; Christa and Omid as of Episode 4?
I like them, Omid especially. I was really happy to see he made it, although I spent the whole game going, Omid is going to die...Omid is going to die.... So, pleasant surprise.
I like Christa a whole lot better. She's becoming a better rounded character and if you side with her or go for a solution in the middle she actually appreciates it. I was afraid at the end of episode 3 that we would have Lily the 2nd on our hands but she has become a better rounded character in my eyes. In episode 3 I would have never let her be the one to go with Clem in the end (I always knew Lee had a huge chance of biting the bullet), but as it stands right now I would. Well after getting rid of Omid because he seems as helpful as Ben at this fase. Plus seeing how Carley died after you barely see her in episode 2 and you barely see Omid this episode I don't think Omid has a long life ahead of him.
I have the feeling that in the end you will have to make a choice as to who gets to take clem and there is no way in hell any of the others is going to take her.
So yeah for her to make that change from "oh hell no" to "why not" means she was a whole lot better written this episode. Although I am afraid she is pregnant and that could pose some problems.
Yeah, Omid is all right. I'm hoping that Clem ends up with Christa and Omid at the end of 5, they're the only group members since Carley or Chuck with their heads and hearts in the right places. Everybody else is either an idiot or a selfish twat.
I didn't like Christa by the end of ep 3, and I thought Omid was alright. At the start of ep 4, Christa was kind of bitchy so I figured that I'd just dislike them more. However, by the end of ep 4, I liked Christa more than before. She's pretty alright to me. I like how she cares for Clem and got nicer. Omid didn't do much, so my opinion of him almost stayed the same, I like him.
IDK I don't cotton to Omid too much. Christa doesn't bug me but i'm not thrilled about having a pregnant chick in the group. When we were still speculating about her from last epi, I liked her more when there was a chance she wasn't pregnant. This epi seems to have sealed the deal.
I actually thought pretty quickly that when Kenny said the boat wouldn't hold them all, that it would be perfect if Christa and Omid stayed with Vernon (doc) and company. Medical attention all around, no need to bust up the original group.
Christa got a bit better this episode, but she's such a hypocrite. She doesnt like it when you keep secrets, yet refuses to tell you she's pregnant. Alright.
I've liked Omid ever since I met him. When I talked to him on the train, he said he's been gone from home for a few months. '"Our cat is gonna be pissed"
Just love my Christa and I hope because she is pregnant she survive the last episode together with Clementine and when everything works fine also w/ Omid.
I really like Christa and Omid. I did not do anything special for the couple (besides medicine) yet the couple was still enthusiastic on helping (a bitten!) Lee to find Clementine. They are good people.
This is unlike Kenny, who left me because I did not support him 100% of the way. I tried where I could. :c
Christa and Omid really grew on me in Ep4 although I was a huge Chuck Fanboy I would have loved his character to have been fleshed out more (no not that way) and seen him develop more in the episode.
As I mentioned in another thread, and I may as well repost it since it gives my thoughts on the pair...
I thought it was kind of odd how these two seemed to willing to help, actually. Christa told me that she and Omid survived by staying alone. They came with us, originally, because trains are fast. Then they needed to stay with me for Omid's leg, which I was a bit responsible for. They seem to want to come on the boat as well but this helpfulness seems odd.
Why does this pair, that told me they like to stay alone, seem to want to stick by me to the point of risking their lives to help out? They don't even trust us enough to tell us that Christa is pregnant yet they are going to put their lives on the line? What makes my group so much more worthwhile then their previous experiences? Makes no sense to me.
In the end though. I really wish Kat and Carley had stayed alive and these two had never shown up. People say, the Carley/Doug thing had to be put down but Omid has such a small role that we could have easily put Carley/Doug into it and if a pregnant woman angle is so darn important, just make Kat pregnant. Voila. Episode 5 is going to have wildly different setups anyway given how many pairings that can come about due do the choice structure so the Carley/Doug "problem" wouldn't be an issue there either. This episode really shows how totally needless their deaths were.
There is absolutely nothing interesting enough about either person that justifies killing off 2 established characters (one of whom is a fan favorite) in order to make room for them.

Agreed on the unusual niceness. (Otherwise Kenny must have really sold the couple on the boat idea, haha. )

Oh! The pregnancy interests me now. Maybe Omid doesn't even know? Maybe he is impotent; which leaves the pregnancy as a signifier that Christa has been assaulted or has cheated on Omid.
Though, judging by their behaviour I think Omid does know about the pregnancy. It is fun to theorise though. :P

Aw, you don't have to see the killing of those characters as a way to make room for more characters. The killing also strongly represents the harsh environment. The dramatic outcome makes you realise that the people you become attached to can be killed at any time for any reason.
For example, I actually felt fear when I thought Ben was about to die in Crawford. He was the last member of the (somewhat) original group who liked my Lee. I panicked because I had seen other characters I cared for, die. But this feeling of fear would most likely not occur with people if people knew that old characters were granted immunity. (I hope that makes sense!)
Yeah, Omid is all right. I'm hoping that Clem ends up with Christa and Omid at the end of 5, they're the only group members since Carley or Chuck with their heads and hearts in the right places. Everybody else is either an idiot or a selfish twat.
Im sure now thats why Omid and Christa survived, so that if we dont fine Clem's mother (I think her dad is dead), they can raise her after Lee dies. Maybe be a big sister to their new baby.
They were the only ones I took with me at the end,I finally got to tell Kenny to go fuck himself and while I saved Ben I decided I'd rather he stayed behind.
If Clem's parents are truly dead then,if I'm given the choice, Christa and Omid can take over Clem's care.
I like them but, if it had been possible, I would of swapped them for Chuck and Molly at the end.

Dang, I didnt think about getting the chance to tell Kenny to go screw himself. All I was thinking was, Im dying. Im going to need all the help I can get. I really liked Chuck. Im sorry we lost him. Molly is okay, and very handy, but she has a little too much attitude for my taste. Her smarting off all the time didnt exactly endear her to me.
I never thought that there interest in Clem was unnatural(like some did) but I was rather apathetic towards them in episode 3 but I've come to like them in episode 4.

In episode 3 Omid was a little bit of an annoyance. Just the way he talked when you first meet them made me want to throw him back to the herd of zombies coming up the railway. When I pulled Omid into the rail car(due to him being gimpy from injuring his leg) he started to jump my a$$ over pulling him in over christa and he almost let it slip that christa is pregnant(his comment of"she's a woman and she's...... Then he gets cut off by christa) after the beginning of episode 4 No dealing with omid cause he's passed out but christa does come off somewhat of a bossy b***h. but so far no real problems with them and I believe that they probably will become clems new guardians in the next season.
Christa seems pretty egoistic. She seems like a Kenny in terms of helping others. She will only help if it doesn't endanger her+Omid. If you actually hide the bite she will state this. At least she did in 2 of my playthroughs. Omid seems kinder. He wants to help either way. He seems less selfish and is willing to takes risks for other people (again in my several playthroughs he has argued AGAINST christa).
My take is Christa behaviourwise is like a male Kenny. Selfish and only worrys about herself/her family.
Omid is more open to help other people and far less selfish.
I want Christa to be attacked by 3 walkers. Pushed up against a wall and falls down on her bum. Her stomach is torn open and the Fetus ripped from within as she and Omid look on in horror as the young forming child is gobbled. Christa then gets her throat removed from a second Zombie, while the third is nomming on her left hand.
Omid sees this from across the room, loses his mind, puts the gun in his mouth and pulls the trigger.

well...i think its not even that much about you but about clem for them, just see how christa got all motherly over her (cause she is pregnant herself and needs clem as the proof having/raising a kid is possible in the ZA)
Oh! The pregnancy interests me now. Maybe Omid doesn't even know? Maybe he is impotent; which leaves the pregnancy as a signifier that Christa has been assaulted or has cheated on Omid.
Though, judging by their behaviour I think Omid does know about the pregnancy. It is fun to theorise though. :P
Huh, an interesting idea but I tend to discount it because we know those two were arguing about something when Lee was climbing up. If your theory is correct that would mean there are two secrets being kept. The first in regards to whatever they were arguing about and then the second, which only Crista is aware of.
Doesn't make much narrative sense, especially given that there is only one chapter left in the story, but an interesting thought.

(I hope that makes sense!)
If they were going along with the idea that they want players to know anyone can die, then the death toll would have been much higher in this episode. Given how many people were killed, I was expecting everyone except Lee and Clem to be dead at this point but instead everyone except Chuck made it through.
I don't think there was any real need to jack up the tension in episode 3 unless the goal was to escalate the situation further for the remaining 2 installments. We didn't need to be shocked like that. Now we have some new people that don't really emotionally engage us like Carley and Kat did.
The truth is, Lee getting infected is the true signal that anything can happen because now, the main character is going to die. If Lee can die, ANYONE can die. If they had kept the group mainly alive until this point, true fear would have started. Now you'd know that Carley, Kat and the rest all can die. That episode 5 will truly be the grand final of the series. I think they missed the boat by doing those shocking deaths too soon. They should have been saved for the climax.
well...i think its not even that much about you but about clem for them, just see how christa got all motherly over her (cause she is pregnant herself and needs clem as the proof having/raising a kid is possible in the ZA)
Well, like I said, you don't need Christa to get motherly when we already had Kat who was, in fact, a mother. Plus if the pregnant angle is important, just have Kat get pregnant. Christa is just a poor replacement.
I love them both. At first Omid creeped me out when he got a bit overly excited that the group had a kid, and Christa seemed a bit confrontational but I grew attached to them. I especially like Christa now that she's taken on a sort of big sister/mom role with Clementine. And of course their loyalty to Lee at the end of Episode 4 completely solidified their position in my "Favorite Character's" list. It says something about them when I've done less for them then I have for Kenny but they're willing to join me without question while Kenny calls me "selfish".

Doesn't matter to me anymore now that Lee is done.
Well since they were the only one's willing to help me find Clem, I think she's also probably gonna end up with them if my Lee kicks the bucket in 5.
