My biggest upset for season 2 (spoiler)
Was that we got no closure about Christa. Christa is one of my favorite characters. Hated her the first time I played Ep. 3 and part of 4 but she's awesome. I love her. I hated how they just casted her out early in episode 1 and we heard nothing else again. On the Playing Dead webisodes, one of the staff members said something like, "sometimes, just like in real life, you just don't hear from people again", alluding that there may be no closure to Christa and that it will be left ambiguous but I hate that for such an important character.
Thoughts? Should it be left as is? Should we talk to her again in the future? Should she come back just to die? Should we find her dead or as a walker? Should we find her happy with a new person/group and she acts hostile towards clem? Talk to me guys

I miss Christa, I want to see her again
leaving her unknown like that would just be stupid, especially if she was going to Wellington too like Clem and the others. Besides, if Kenny can appear out of the blue after so many years despite the odds of his survival being stacked against him, I'd find it highly unfair if 'realism' ends up being their reasons for dumping Christa out of the series when her chances of surviving seem higher than Kenny's were.
There's still more they can do with her as a character, so I hope Christa comes back T_T
Christa needs to return
Keeping Lilly and Molly in the dark? I'm fine with that. Sometimes people simply fall off the radar like they said, and that's fine. The difference is that they did it right with Lilly and Molly (and I'd be fine if they stayed unknown), but Christa really got the short end of the stick here.
Leave her as is. What they said is true, sometimes you don't always meet up with people you know, bringing her back would be way too unrealistic. And besides, I don't want her or any unknown character coming back. And frankly, I never liked Christa, so I kind of hope she's dead.
It actually is realistic if they meet up at Wellington, since Christa was already heading there.
At Wellington, yes it would be realistic, but since not everyone went to Wellington, chances are we won't see her again.
I think everyone will eventually end up at Wellington.
As i always believe in any series or game or whatever. If you don't see a character die on screen or no one can actually confirm they saw he or she die, then the chances are they will return at some point. I am hoping in Season 3, Clem will run into Christa again and they will explain what properly happened to her baby. I want to see Lilly again too.
I think she should stay in the unknown.
Telltale forfeited their right to claim 'realism' after they brought Kenny back from the dead.
The truth is, the time-skip gave Christa's relationship with Clem more storytelling potential than the developers anticipated and they likely expected players to be perfectly happy to forget all about her once Kenny came back. There's still plenty of potential to explore with her characterization along with what her time with Clem was like (the fact that they both lived through the death of Christa's baby was neglected to the point that a great number of fans didn't even realize it happened), and I personally think she'd be a great protagonist - a competent black woman with an established relationship with Clem and a troubled yet introspective personality that'd give players plenty of room for multiple interpretations.
I'm perfectly fine (if annoyed by the apparent double standard) with Lilly never showing up. I actually DON'T want Molly to show up and ruin her one-episode-wonder appeal. But Christa's a lot more important than the writers realize, and I resent her effect on Clem being totally ignored.
Christa where are youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!?
(Me playing season 2 episode 1 in the forest just before finding the dog)
Keeping her fate unkown is the best.It feels realistic and mysterious.Christa might have survived or was captured and tortured,who knows really.I'd rather have her fate unkown than dead(she will most likely die if she ever returns)
If Christa's fate is an 'untied bow' and they are using realism as the excuse then Kenny's fate should have been a chained up metal box or something.
I honestly like how TTG keeps characters in the dark with an uncertain fate. The world in the zombie apocalypse is just to damn big to coincidentally run into them again.
Finding Kenny again randomly in the wilderness at a sky lodge you just happen to pass by with his "I got lucky" was just bullshit writing done for the fans that missed him. It was just way to coincidental. In a real apocalyptic scenario without phones/walkie talkies etc only chance of finding someone after being split up would be somewhere in a well established community that tons of travelers pass by.
I think it should be left as is.
It adds to the mystery!
I personally think it would be interesting if they brought Lilly back in Season 3.
Even though I wasn't a fan of her, I think it would still be interesting to see what has become of her.
I would love to see Christa again or at least get closure with her story. Christa took care of Clementine longer than anyone else, including Lee and she gets cast aside by TT like she were simply a one episode character. (Omid and) Christa's the one who's probably shaped Clementine the most and yet she gets absolutely no credit.
While it's hard to stay in touch with people in the Walking Dead I don't think it's implausible that Clem meet Christa again. Rumors regarding communities like Wellington are going to make it up and down the coast...Just like in the show how everyone in the group made it to Terminus, Clem and Christa could think to go to the same place
