Your opinion of/reaction to meeting Chuck, Omid and Christa? Episode 3. [Spoilers]
I'm curious to know how you guys reacted to meeting and generally what you now think of these new survivors. 
Personally, I was so emotionally drained after the previous horrific events of the day, I could hardly muster a fuck to give about these new, seemingly very interesting people. XD I just wearily went into automatic threat assessment mode and when I felt satisfied that they posed no obvious danger to our shambled remnants of a group, I decided they could all go to hell and fuck for all I cared. Pardon the language, but I feel it fits. XD
I must admit that I started to warm up to Chuck during the train ride. He seems like a cool dude, had some good advice and I shared a swig of hobo rum with him. Good times. The 'candy' dialogue upon meeting him may have been the only laughs I got in Episode 3 too, besides the 'Duck Greyson' stuff. That shot of Ben stuffing his face with hobo candy like a little kid was priceless. XD

They (Omid/Christa) have some odd fixation with kids, and I didnt really get hint of a skillset between them. The old timer looks like he's an open book type of guy.
They all seem friendly enough but I dont know how useful they'll be
Even when Christa disapproves with your prying, and states something along the lines of "Not being a part of the group for too long." she still tags along. For being a loner, with her boi, Omid, she sure opted to come along, Walkers be damned. As for those two, Christa seems decent, but Omid seems a little too "helpful." I'm not the biggest Christa and Omid fans, just yet. :P Yay, Charles!
Im pretty sure Christa is pregnant. When Lee first comes up the ladder he hears them talking about "needing a group when...", and it hit me on my second play through that he means when she gives birth.
It explains why Omid is so happy to see a kid, and why Christa just wanted to talk to Clem. She's probably trying to figure out if a child can cope and survive in this world. Her question in the station "Do you know what your doing with her" is probably the same question that she is struggling with herself.
But who knows, they may be serial killers or cannibals
If we had no place to stay, were on the move, and so forth, "Hey honey, let's screw." would be the last thing on my mind. Unless, of course, she was a rape victim, or something, but I think that would play out differently. I just think they have an ulterior motive with the group, for the moment.
I also think Christa is the intended romance option for Lee, the part about American history was just to perfect to be idle chit-chat. Plus they seemed to emphasize her motherly instincts towards Clem.
This right here. After the horrible events of the day I was too emotionally drained to even give them the time of day. I'm sure the characters are well designed, but this is not the group I bled for and have protected over the last 2 episodes. These new characters have alot of work to do before I care about anything that happens to them. As of now, the only person I feel any connection to in our group is Clem Clem.
I hope not.
Old, creepy walkie guy can have Christa and Omid. Enjoy, guy! :P
I am surprisingly ok with this. Mostly because I like my women like I like my drink: Bitter, dark, and able to reach things on the top shelf at the grocery store.
Omid well he is weak and obviously the beta male in the relationship.
Chuck seems cool so far. He seems spot on and doesn't hide his opinion even if it's ugly.
Something is not right with Christa and Omid. It's just weird to see two people on an overpass just what...out stretching their legs? No weapons, supplies, no reason for being there at all. Able to get on a train going in the opposite direction of where they say they are from.
Take Lee and Ken in the beginning of e3. Had someone driven up in a car and seen Lee and Kenny they would have thought...Hmmmm armed, have supplies in Kenny's backpack or out gathering supplies. Their base is somewhere else nearby. That is, the way Lee and Kenny where outfitted matched where they where and what they were doing. Even if offered a ride to the coast Lee and Kenny couldn't just up and go. Just makes me wonder about Christa and Omid....why do they have no gear?
Off topic, that helicopter pilot/crewman that Lee fought in the pharmacy. I know Lee hit him in the head a couple of times but he/it was still alive when it got impaled on some rebar sticking out of the concrete. It was alive, then seemed to "expire" from the chest wound caused by the rebar. Did that walker die from a cause other than massive head trauma?
Chuck, although, is a little sketchy. But, all in all, I think he's relatively harmless. Just a guy who was "taught in the school of hard-knocks' He's blunt and has alot of wisdom. Don't think he'll be particularly useful. Maybe get him cleaned up and his blues muscician sensibilities will boost morale. I see him as being a guy my Lee can turn to for advice.
Omid, I think will be a great addition. Not sure what his skillset is quite yet, obviously. But I like his attitude and optimistic outlook (which we're in desperate need of). He's like a Glenn analogue. Altho, with the messed up leg, I dunno about his future with the group.
Christa is pretty headstrong and self-reliant, it seems. I saw her immediately as a lvoe interest while speaking with her. Though, I came to find out theyw ere together much later on the train. Thought they were just friends at first. She seems level-headed and like she can handle herself. Just hope she doesn't get any grandiose ideas, cause now that things have taken this turn for the worst. I see Lee stepping up to more of a leadership role
But here? Chuck good be anybody. He good be a nice guy, really trying to help you or may kill you in your sleep for supplies. You know nothing about Omid and Christa, only that they were on the road even before this whole thing started.
I really do not know If I can trust anyone from them. But that is great...I told them who I am, and they took it well enough...I think? But I'm not certain if that was smart.
I expected Kenny and Katjaa to start criticizing the hell out of Lee for how he raises Clementine (possibly after their loss of Duck and their longing for a new child). Well, that train has departed. But Christa filled the role immediately. I have to watch that lady.
I really like Chuck, or as I know him, the narrator from Bastion. He fills the role of the old wise guy beautifuly, I wonder where he was when the walkers first struck.
I KNEW I had heard that voice before!
That is what I think too. The discussion they had just before Lee joined them on the bridge was a big hint and how happy Omid was when they saw Clem. I can guess that they have had their own arguments and worries about having a child in ZA, but when Omid saw Clem it was like giving him a point for his more optimistic view that they can raise a child there.
That was funny, lol. I pushed Omid off the bridge and he broke his leg. Im hoping that doesnt eventually get him killed and add to my guilt.
Chucks drinking is going to get him killed.
Omid is a pedophile Misogynist weakling, self loathing White Knight.
Christa is a Misandrist.
Omid: I like his nice cheery outlook, but think there's something wrong.
Christa: Strongly dislike. Criticising how my Lee treats Clem, and a possible threat to take Clem off of Lee. Seems a bit power hungry, like Lily but not on my side. Criticised me for helping her into the train, dumb bitch.
I dunno, it seems a bit dodgy that they're just on a road with nothing at all, somethings not quite right about them

Wow. You guys are good. I had to go to video replay before it clicked for me. Had no idea what they were talking about but it makes sense now. Maybe that is why they decided to take this road trip three months ago. They found out Christa is pregnant and wanted to "see America" before the child arrives.
That's why as you approach Omid says "Maybe a group of guy's is what we need.."
This makes me think that he is sterile IE "shooting blanks"
And that he wants one or all of the men to inseminate Christa....
Possibly in some sort of gangbang situation..
Considering the lady was a player hater, is their presence really worthy of my devotion?
Team Lee FTW, everyone else can just stfu.
Omid seems cool enough, child thing and all.
Christa's Ok, I'd probably just keep her around if she was trustworthy.
just wrong
I wish you had a choice to stay on the ladder and hear the rest of the conversation.
No shit.
Perhaps that's why he was giving out candy.
To fatten up the survivors!
Plus shes totally preggorz.
I TOLD YOU PEOPLE IT WAS A WOMAN!!!!
