Should Omid have died?

edited December 2012 in The Walking Dead
After watching the fourth episode of the Walking Dead and following the scene whereas Omid is shown to have died from his infection, but is in fact alive I got the feeling that his sudden burst of life was out of nowhere and illogical.

For one he appeared to have no pulse (shown by Christa checking his wrist and making a worried face) along with a lack of breathing and then suddenly he wakes up, even if he had been asleep I am sure he would have been woken up by everyone entering the room and thus his springing to life was completely out of nowhere in my opinion which I believe in terms of the walking dead is unrealistic.

Another thing is that it took the survivors a whole night to get the medication to Omid and if one takes not of the state he was in prior to their leaving there was very little chance of survival and thus when he was just lying still on the bed it would have made more sense for him to be dead than just sleeping.

That is my general opinion on the scene itself. What do you guys think about this scene?

    He DID die.

    He's part of a new evolution of Walkers who have become aware of their former human lives. He plans to wait until they let their guard down and devour all of them.

    No! No death for Omid! But I can't vote because I don't think Crawford would have been pointless, and I don't think he's unstable, I mean how? Kenny is more unstable then Omid is.

    With regards unstable I was referring to Christa who would become unstable if Omid had died more or less like Kenny when Katja and Duck died.

    No, because..no. He was just exhausted from all the walking, and his body fighting infection. I'm glad he didn't die.

    I'm glad he didn't die as well, I feel like its kinda my fault he got hurt. I pushed him from the bridge.

    I'm glad he didn't die, really glad. He and Christa are actually pretty cool.

    Can he die? I chose to ask Vernon for help getting out of the sewers so I wonder what happens if you leave on your own.

    I like Omid, but the point I WILL make is that if you leave Clementine behind, a walker breaks in and she saves Omid by killing it. It seems really stupid to me that, if you TAKE Clementine, that just doesn't happen. The only explanation for this I'll accept is that later in ep 5 we find out the walkie talkie man let that zombie in to try to take her out.

    So, yes, if you brought Clem with you, I think he should have died. And Christa should never forgive you for that.

    or Clementine was being loud or something iunno, Omid is sick on the upper floor no one would hear him.

    Clementine was doing kids stuff downstairs and must have made a loud noise.

    No you need him to come with you, either by threatening him at gun point or mentioning Clem.

    If you pick the option to go alone one of the members of the cancer support society will notate the fact that the sewers are quite vast and are the equivalent of a maze and he will insist that Vernon lend a hand in Lee's escape from the sewers and thus the scene will go on as normal with Brie asking why they should help Lee.

    Lee hurt his leg in the first episode, we didn't make lee suicide, did we?
  • edited October 2012
    No and simply because there isn't a lot of character to Omid yet. If they're gonna kill him I want to know him a bit first. I want to see where the Omid and Christs story arc goes with the pregnancy thing...

    Maybe Clementine went out on her own to look for her parents and accidentally let the walker in.

    Hmm. I can live with that explanation.
  • edited October 2012
    No he should'nt have died, I will be depending on Omid and Krista too take over caring for Clementine once Lee dies.

    I see Omid and Christa as being the only way for Clem to have a "happy" ending... as happy as you can have in TWD.... so no, Keep them alive.
  • edited October 2012
    I'm glad they didn't kill him to be honest...

    What I'm more concerned about is how they killed off Charles ('Chuck' if you fancy) so early in the game... It seemed to me as if they introduced him, went through the whole 'advice' thing, then just didn't know what to do with him after that...
  • edited October 2012
    I chose neutral, with his injury, it's not unbelievable that he stayed alive, IMO, though I think the walker should've killed him if you don't leave Clem behind.

    I know there's a lot of irony in this story/game, but I had to pick no it would have made going to Crawford a huge waste.. I just felt that with what happened to Brie, Molly (determinant), Ben (determinant) & simply the fact that there was so much risk that went into infiltrating Crawford, it would have soured the story a bit for me if Omid had died.

    Plus, I like Omid!

    Nah, I'm glad the guy lived through the ordeal simply because I found it both more surprising and left off the game with a little bit more hope for Clem and Christa. The game did a really good job at making me expect that Omid was not going to make it, so it surprised me when he lived after all. Having Omid live also made the entire Crawford siege much more worthwhile because it at least allowed Omid to live since all the other supplies were meant for the boat that eventually got stolen.

    Eh, although I love Omid (more like Bromid, eh eh?) but I would have been fine if he died. Honestly I thought episode four was somewhat lacking in deaths, yeah we had Brie and Chuck but they're kind of minor characters (despite how beloved Chuck is). There's also Molly but I seriously doubt that she died. Only main character death in that episode is Ben, and you get to chose if he lives or not.
  • edited December 2012
    Nope. Knowing that death is everywhere in TWD, I expected him to die, so it was such a surprise and a relief he got better. It was a nice little twist.

    There would be no happy/funny moments without Omid, so...

    I find it pretty improbable that he's so healthy and awake in EP5.

    With the exception of the head in the attic I could've been without his "humour"
  • edited December 2012
    That would have ruined the story. I loved the line when he suddenly woke up "Hey, you guys are back already" He was just sleeping the whole time :D
    And if you think Omid dying would make the game more sad, you are wrong. It would be pointless to kill off a character that has been in the game for few hours. Wll, they did kill Chuck...

    He had a leg infection. He also had it treated with medicine. I'm potentially the furthest one could get from medical knowledge, but do people with treated leg infections usually fall unconscious?

    I don't think he should have died. For me it seems like Christa/Omid would feel like they shouldn't be there if one of them's gone. I don't know, i just feel like if one of them dies, the other should too.

    When I was in the Marines I got a fairly serious infection in my foot, and did not fall unconcious. Blisters I had from a hump (forced march) got infected when exposed to stagnant water in swamp land, and I developed Cellulitis. It was extremely painful and I had a lot of swelling, so much so that the corpsmen (medics) initially thought I had been bit by a poisonous snake, but I never lost conciousness and it was cured after a few days of antiobiotics.

    I'm not a medical professional, but from my own past experience I didn't see Omid's recovery as unrealistic. I also just think he was sleeping when they return home, and they mistook it for him being unconcious or unresponsive. It is part of what made the scene funny.
