Christa needs to return just so..

  • Fair point with Kenny, but I was refering to Christa just adopting the new baby just like that in episode 5 (considering the hour and a half we have, it would have to be centered solely on her and the kid - taking away from the main selling point of the game: playing as Clem and her being the protagonist), having seemingly no psychological issues (e. g. doubts about being a competent mother, having paranoid delusions that the kid will die etc.). All because someone thinks it would be a neat idea.

    Are you talking about Kenny here? Because his death being retconned is a perfect example of it, and I'm willing to bet he came back largely

  • Saying 'please do this' isn't demanding something, it's requesting it. And it's a quasi request as well, as they have already decided the story for the episode.

    Besides, I'm under no misapprehension that they have already made up their minds. This is just a speculative hopeful idea.

    I'm not saying I would be annoyed if they didnt do it, I just think it would be a nice thing to happen.

    As to your second point, that is true, however the writer of episode one is also writing episode five, and his other episode, episode two, made mention of her, so while I think it's unlikely, I do not think it hugely so.

    Firstly, "DAMMIT TELLTALE GIVE US CHRISTA BACK PLEAAASSE". Of course it's not a demand. Secondly, yeah, it could easily happen, but given

    In what specific manner does it throw away the lore of the walking dead?

    I guess this shows that the fandom really, REALLY needs to not have any sort of influence on the games because this idea throws away common sense, psychology and previously established lore.

  • Everyone is taking what I'm saying here far, far too seriously.

    I'm not saying she actually NEEDS to return.

    I'm saying that this is a situation which I would personally find emotionally satisfying.

  • That Christa lost her baby in some way, this ties back into psychology - namely it would leave a mark in the form of paranoia or self-doubt about taking care of the baby. There would not be some cheesy, shitty, melodramatic soap opera reunion.

  • I think Flog61, like me, wants Christa to be reunited with Clem and baby AT THE END. Considering how much will need to be concluded prior to that (particularly the Luke vs. Kenny arc), I don't expect Christa to appear in the start. We need only re-establish Clem's relationship with her to give an idea of what Omid's loss meant to them and the hope that Rebecca's son may bring back.

    Although I half-suspect she may be living among the Russians.

  • Well, I can see how this is a request, even though it sounds demanding to me. But, you are entitled to your opinion, obviously. I personally don't believe in Christa's return, but, hell, back in January 2013 I was still arguing that she wasn't pregnant, but I was proven wrong. We'll see how this turns out this time.

    Well, maybe she'll get mentioned again. For me, Episode 4 was the deadline of her reappearance, when it still would've made sense to me. If she is to reappear in Episode 5, it has to be a cliffhanger of some sort.

  • Damn, I meant Kenny Clem Christa and the baby. Father, Mother, Sister.

    Haha replace Kenny with the baby and I'd agree, but I think ken has had quite enough time in the limelight

  • Then it would be rushed to fuck and back. I know we've had bad writing these last two episodes, but I didn't expect people to genuinely want more of it.

  • Yes, I was thinking the same thing. It would be a fitting way to leave the baby, Christa could actually find some comfort in taking care of the him. It would be a nice, happy ending for a change.

  • Thats purely psychological, and does not contradict the fairly minimal lore of the universe.

    Psychology is about probablies and likelies, it's not about 'this will 100% happen to every single person in this situation'.

    We know nothing about how the baby died, and only how christa PROBABLY would have reacted, so to profess that her being glad to look after a baby is IMPOSSIBLE is silly.

  • I don't even recall it being implied that christa died in my game, I thought she got away.

  • Hahah someone's down voting all of my posts because they don't like me again

    How very mature.

  • Were there ravens when Rebecca was shot?

    I replayed season two this weekend, paying extra attention to crows and ravens Christa's scene is indeed the only one that lacks them. Not even sounds in the background.

  • Considering the lore of TWD is highly dependent on characters I still stand firm by that.

    Psychology is about studying the mind and understanding it, the personality defects, complexes, etc. it might develop in relation to element X, and how it can be treated to give the subject an easier life. And in this case, the idea that Christa would be all joyous and cathartic is silly. I'll get into why in the next paragraph.

    We know that Christa was cold, detached and blunt - logically concluding that she was obviously emotionally devastated (on top of Omid dying) from losing her child. Thus it's easy to postulate that the likeliest reaction would be the same coldness and detachment, maybe mixed with a subtle caring that never materialises fully. It also makes sense from a narrative standpoint as it would provide character development for her to gradually get over part of her trauma and leave the rest for another story. Instead, you people want some Hollywood everything-is-going-to-be-OK-freeze-frame-for-the-credits-and-play-the-up-beat-rock-music ending, something not in keeping with the tone of the franchise. It's like the ending to Perfect Blue, happy upbeat TGIF ending to a dark story about mental anguish that could not be easily overcome.

    Swear to god, it's like I'm the only one with active knowledge about how to construct a story, instinctual or otherwise.
