Christa appreciation
If your Clem is anything like mine, you'll pick any dialogue option that has Lee's name in it without even looking at the others. Lee obviously meant a lot to Clem and we saw that first hand.
But here's my beef with the season so far. She's with Christa and Omid for a good few months judging by Christa's pregnancy progression, then Omid gets capped and we skip forward 16 months to show that Clem is still with Christa. That's nearly 2 years she's been with Christa, compared to a few months at the most with Lee (there's about a 3-4 month skip between Ep 1 and 2) and the other episodes more or less follow directly on from each other.
So why so much love for Lee, but Christa gets left out in the cold? It makes sense from the player's view, but not Clems - her time with Christa happened offscreen, but it still happened. What's more, Christa had even *more *of a struggle than Lee did keeping Clem safe. Not only does she lose the love of her life, she also loses the baby (my own headcanon is that the baby was born sickly and lacking obstetric medication Christa did what Lee did to Duck, somewhere out of sight). Her last known act is trying to secure Clem's safety attempting to convince the bandits she was alone.
Yet to my knowledge there's no mention of her at all in Episode 4, compared to Clem's speech to Sarah about Lee, and I can't remember her being mentioned in Episode 3 either (somebody correct me if I'm wrong here), but again Lee gets his mention when discussing the walker guts plan.
I hope I'm not the only one who wants Christa to have more...acknowledgement? Appreciation? In Episode 5 than she's been shown by Clem (that is, the Telltale writers) so far; if not an actual appearance so we can tell her ourselves.
Comments
I completely agree.
However, episode five is written by the same guy who wrote episodes one and two, so hopefully he'll at least make mention of her, if not have us reunite (fingers crossed!)
Excellent, fingers crossed indeed. Seeing as they're both heading to Wellington it is at least plausible that we'll see some trace of her (maybe a note saying "Clem. If you read this, avoid Wellington. - Christa", leading to an argument with Kenny....)
One other thing I thought was odd is in the Museum, Clem says "Lee would love this" if you examine a display. He sure would, but a missed opportunity there I thought to remember Omid and Christa, who had travelled across the country to tour Civil War sites. I'm 99% certain Christa isn't mentioned in Amid the Ruins, am I right that she's not mentioned in In Harms Way either?
I do agree, Christa definitely should be remembered and mentioned by Clem much more often - after 1 years spent with her. Telltale's not mentioning her seems... well, odd, at the very least.
I think a future DLC should document the time gap between Omid's death and the separation between Clementine and Christa.

Because we spend the whole of Season 1 with Lee. She comes in later on in the season. Plus the 2 years Christa has been with Clem skipped forward and We only see her in 1 episode of season 2. Hope she comes back in the finale.
What makes you think she is still alive? This is Telltale we are dealing with, you really think she is still alive?
TellTale: Oh? You like that character, well guess what? Fuck 'em. Kills liked characters Lol, they're dead now. Oh now what? Did I hurt your feelings? Fuck your feelings.
