Episode 5: Boat for 5 people

edited November 2012 in The Walking Dead
Think about it. Kenny, Omid and Christa, Ben (If you saved him) and Clem, It's magically 5 people and we can pretty much forget about Lee because he is dead.

That's probably a chance (in case we have) to have a "super" happy ending.

    I sort of assumed everyone (save Clem) would die, but now that I think about it, I forgot the boat.

    Maybe your choices in the finale will decide who lives and who dies.

    I don't think Omid will do it. The pills that were given to him are not enough to save him and have him running with you.

    Also, I don't think Ben will do it (he is already dead for other players).

    Kenny? He won't do it. His time is done, he will probably do something stupid or will get himself killed.

    Christa? She will die too. She will stay behind with Omid, her new zombie lover.

    In fact, it is highly probable that Clem will end up alone on that boat.

    Kenny has annoyed me in every single Ep. (as has Ben) only one has died... so far

    Kenny's my friend, so I wanted to bring him along so we could both die together. A suicide pact that only one of us knows about. What could possibly go wrong?

    I actually thought that picking 5 people to go on the boat was the "big choice", after Kenny had said it. Guess I was wrong.

    Yeah, I expected to have to kick a few people out of the group at the end. I tried to avoid getting the meds by mentioning and going for them last :D. I really wanted Molly on that boat and I don't care for Omid. It didn't work that way, sadly.

    I didn't mention the meds and nearly shot Molly on purpose, because of the boat. Glad I decided to save her in the end.

    I think that boat is a decoy or a cheap way to start an ep2 somewhere else.

    Isn't that virus airborne anyway? If you die you turn? Where would that tiny boat go? Didn't work in Dawn of the Dead, won't work now.

    You can choose who to give something to eat or not, but to leave someone behind to die? Seems a little too harsh to me.

    Kenny's "there can only be five" is bullshit from the first breath there. In desperate times 10 people could come aboard, just like 20 people in South-East Asia are able to live in a one room, 20 sqm, apartment nowadays. It's not ideal, but hey... wanna live?

    This part of the storyline is a western (Hollywood) way of seeing things, not a Zombie Apocalypse. Sorry... but true!

    I think it's naive to think that the group will survive just because of the stupid boat. They will end up in a bad situation sooner or later. I'm pretty sure Omid or Christa will die in episode 5.

    That's what I'm saying. They'll have to come back for land for food and supplies eventually

    Wut? lol Did you get a look at the boat? It's mad small. And propelled by a normal latched-on motor. You seriously thing it could take a literal ton, cause that's approximately 10-15 people? It's not really a size issue but prolly a weight and motor strain issue.
  • edited October 2012
    I see Molly, Clem & pregnant Christa survive the last episode.
  • edited October 2012
    It ends here.

    They won't take the boat.

    It's not big enough to cross the Atlantic.

    They are probably going to run aground and will be back to square one again.

    They should go to a place, secure it, then wait for the army to take back the city.

    So, how long did you plan to stay on that boat? Do you want to live on it, or take a ride to a possibly safer place?

    It really depends on what you plan on doing.

    Here are my theories for a Season 5 ending:

    - Omid dies due to his injuries
    - Ben will survive (with Lee being dead) able to care for Clementine (only if we rescued him of course). Would be nice seeing him getting something done...
    - Kenny takes care about Clementine has he lost his family and would have something to live for
  • edited October 2012
    The boat may only be good for 5 people, then add fuel and supplies.

    It's not a ideal boat for crossing the Atlantic, but drifting a coastline stopping at small towns along the way is still safer than being on land the whole time!
  • edited October 2012
    Molly's gonna show up, save Clementine and get her on the boat. Everyone else dies.
  • edited October 2012
    I'm not quite sure why... but i find that "Kenny finds a new reason to live thru Clementine" theory just... not exactly "stupid", but it just doesnt fit an ideal ending for the game :/
  • edited November 2012
    I highly doubt that Kenny is letting Ben on the boat even if you did save him.

    Yeah, the dude needs to die. I'd like if you relationship determined how he died, or at least his last words. A hearty "fuck you" for Lee's that completely neglected him and his family, maybe something about being with Kat and Duck again for Lee's in the middle, and a nice little "best friend" type of speech for Lee's that have had his back the entire way.

    Why does everyone think that they are trying to cross the atlantic or some crazy shit. First of all if everybody is infected chances are its everywhere by now anyway. The more logical assumption is that zombies can't swim, and anchoring of shore of small coastal towns. Doing a quick raid for supplies untill can't find gas. Basically anchored on the coast>living in town

    someone has to die anyways so they all can get in

    That's Lee. If you saved Ben, then there's Ben, Kenny, Christa, Omid, and Clem. Five people for 5 spots.

    My Kenny stayed back with the boat, who says he wouldn't leave without us? Though I wouldn't know how he would get that boat to shore.
  • edited November 2012
    The boat is a dumb idea. They only have one tank of gas. They only have one temporary working battery. What happens when the battery dies or when the gas runs out?! They will be stuck in the middle of the ocean.

    I find it bullshit that it can only contain 5 people INCLUDING Clem. I mean, that little girl must barely weigh anything, if you take 5 adults and all it takes is Clem's weight to fuck the boat over, I don't think they'll get to their destination very successfully.
  • edited November 2012
    The person that stayed with the boat will probably attempt to leave everyone behind, but Molly gave us the dead battery and will end up saving the day, you murder the traitor and let her on the boat!

    Just random crap that came to mind.

    Who says that they will try to Cross the Ocean once they got that boat working? And that 5 Person Thing Sounds a Little Bit like a Hollywood Story
  • edited November 2012
    i think sometime during ep.5 we r gonna have to choose between Omid and Christa just like carley and doug. I think Lee will die if you chose not to show the bite, because if you did then someone will tell Lee to amputate his arm.

    But think about it, Lee, Clem, kenny, omid, christa, ben, molly, and whoever else shows up, because its obvious we r gonna meet new people. I think it will be Vernon and some of his people who join our group. You heard the walkietalkeman at teh end of ep.4: "It's not Vernon if thats what ur thinkin."

    I would prob choose clem, lee, kenny, omid, and molly to go on the boat. if lee dies than ben goes on the boat

    They wouldn't go any more than a few 100 meters away from land in that thing. Not that they couldn't but their would be no need.

    A boat of that size will nearly always be equipped with a pair of oars tucked off in the sides too. The single most reliable piece of emergency equipment when you can only help yourself. Although I doubt the story will get far enough that the writers need to think about that.

    For the most part they'll be safe because they'll have far less fights forced upon them. They can set up camps right beside an unchasable escape vehicle. Their biggest threat would be becoming sitting ducks for any bandits that are equipped for a ranged fight.

    I generally agree with this.. The boat itself could hold more than 5 adults and still remain seaworthy. This is considering that only people board the boat without any supplies. IF the boat is a factor at all in EP5 I would expect it to be a rush for the group to board it and cast-off not having the luxury of time to gather much in the way of supplies. But the way things have been going, I'm not so sure the boat will make much of a difference if at all. I would expect during the time Lee spends searching for Clem, they return to find the boat missing or sabataged.
  • edited November 2012
    That's probably why it's possible to leave people behind. Depending on how many people are left behind, the boat could be good to go or entirely gone/sabatoged. Christa and Omid would be good candidates to protect the boat, as Omid says that she's saved him quite a bit during their travels and Omid himself claims to be a scrapper. They're also trustworthy enough to wait until the group gets back. Leaving the boat alone with Ben, however, is probably a death sentence.
