Should Omid have died?
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'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.
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.
So, yes, if you brought Clem with you, I think he should have died. And Christa should never forgive you for that.
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.
Maybe Clementine went out on her own to look for her parents and accidentally let the walker in.
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...
Plus, I like Omid!
Bromid FTW
With the exception of the head in the attic I could've been without his "humour"
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.
NO.
