How I Would Have Handled Certain Characters Deaths

in The Walking Dead

Even if you wouldn't want the character to die in the first place, if you had to create a better death for them what would it be?

Sarah- Instead of having two shitty, lazy deaths, she would survive until episode 5. Clementine and Sarah wake up to find Mike, Bonnie, and Arvo leaving. The events play out similarly, except that Arvo is about to aim for Clementine. Sarah sees this and pushes Clem out of the way, thus getting her shot instead.

Luke- I'm struggling to find any scenario where his death would be better..... But: If he had to die, it would be during the snowstorm before reaching the rest stop. He would escape with Clem and get bitten by a Walker, thus sparking the events of the fight between Kenny and Jane. It still sucks, but it's better than the other one.

Nick- While crossing the ice, instead of Luke falling though, Clementine falls through, just when things look grim, Nick dives down and saved her, but sadly gets dragged to the bottom.

Omid- Omid is killed by Carver in Episode 2 instead of Walter

Walter- He would die defending Rebecca from the walkers while she was giving birth

    I would have had Omid and Christa replace Alvin and. ecca instead of being shuffled to the side. Luke should have went up against Kenny while Jane should have never existed. An option between Nick and Mike in episode 3 with an option to shoot either of them. Bonnie dies on the ice either by herself or trying to save Sarah if she was saved in episode 4

    Better yet, let some characters live. I don't know what's up with Telltale's obsession with making sure every last member of the cast die somehow, regardless of how ridiculous the scenario. If they're really desperate to whittle down the cast, at least have some of the characters leave like Lilly or Molly, rather than all die in a Final Destination-esque manner.

    Nick and Sarah, if saved, should have died in the shootout. Other than those two, I didn't mind the others.

    You always have good ideas :)

    I really like the idea you had for Sarah. I probably would have cried instead of just saying "WTF?" over and over again.
    Although the Omid death was really premature for basically the whole fandoms liking, I don't know if season 2's whole "Bitten by a walker (actually dog though)" dilemma would have worked out.
    She probably wouldn't have even been bitten by the dog in the first place or the cabin group lock her in the shed and bring Omid in for some nice bowl of porridge. So in the end maybe Season 2's devastating opening scene was to just show the player that is was Omid and Christa on the hill at the end but unfortunately the story they had written wouldn't have worked as well if Christa/Omid were present.
    Maybe they originally had different plans for Season 2 where she did stick along with them two for all or most of the season, but it was changed.

    But all your other ideas are pretty awesome.
    One question, with Luke's snowstorm death sparking the Jane/Kenny fight, how exactly would it start? I didn't think that either of those characters had enough connection with Luke to really overreact if he died. (Sex isn't enough of a connection :/ haha).
