If You Were Writing Episode 5, How Would you Handel the Opening
The episode opens with Buriko firing his gun. Kenny is shot in the arm, Luke is shot in the leg, Clementine is shot in the arm, Mike and Bonnie are unharmed. Bonnie is luckily able to shoot Maude and Mike is able to get away from Vitali. Clementine with her good arm picks up Maude's gun. There is only one bullet left. Buriko picks up his AK-47 and aims it at Bonnie and Vitali aims his shotgun at Mike. Clementine must choose who to save: Mike or Bonnie. If she saved Mike, Bonnie is killed and Luke shoots Buriko. If you save Bonnie, Mike is killed and Kenny shoots Vitali. Kenny grabs the baby and the survivors go over to Arvo who is apologizing and begging for his life. You can either kill him or spare him. Regardless the group walks away in pain and Episode 5: No Time Left appears on the screen.

Realistically, this is pretty close to what will probably happen I think... and maybe put a spoilers tag up since I think this is close to what will happen
I'd have Clementine get dragged to the floor by either Luke or Kenny (Depending on who you sided with at the end of the previous episode) to avoid the gunfire. You'd then see Mike or Bonnie drop down dead in front of you, with whoever you didn't side with getting injured in the shootout. Arvo will turn on the russians and lead them to safety but Kenny will insist you should shoot him for the trouble he caused, with Luke opposing it.
It would be funny if they were all spraying their guns and end up missing all their shots. Everyone is like "What!? How are you still not dead!?"

" If You Were Writing Episode 5, How Would you Handel the Opening "
In my opinion, the opening the OP wrote was perfect. I hope that Telltale does exactly the same.
Jane sneaks up behind the guy who looks like he is from Dragon Age, and hits him in the face with a pine cone, he falls to the ground, and the gun falls shooting the other crazy Russian in the head. Dragon Age Russian goes for his gun but Arvo shoots him in the head and says. "You know what i always hated that guy."
They all do the Matrix and survive, that's how I'd write it :P And then Nick comes back to life and takes out the last one at very end all like:
I really like your opening! Though, if I had to choose between Mike and Bonnie I'd probably cry haha.
Realistically, I think it won't start in the action, but after. Clem is on the ground with her eyes closed and her hands over her head/covering her ears and she opens them after the gunfire ceases to see who is dead or injured. Not sure where it would go after that, because the end of Ep 4 is really open ended.
Like this?

Kinda fits the theme of such an unnecessary gunfight.
The Russians dead and the group alive but shot.
It starts out with a scene of Clem and Lee, which turns out to be a dream when Clem wakes up and finds out she's been shot.
But she'll get back on her feet obviously.
Clem: "What happened?"
Kenny: "We got lucky. Real lucky."
My idea for the entire Episode 5.
I agree with you.I think Burricko shoots clementine(INJURING HER,obviously.Maybe shooting her at the arm,leg.Dunno.)Then clem opens her eyes after a minute or so.She sees kenny beating the shit out of Arvo and threating that he'd kill him.Then once clem gets up,they all notice her.She asks,what happened and Kenny/luke or someone explains everything.They killed russians.Bonnie is okay,mike is injured.They have to take mike to the welligton camp hoping there are medicines or something so he lives.Oh yeah,you have to choose beetwen "Spare arvo" or "Kill arvo".Maybe a "Kenny will take care of him" option too,why not?Or incase time runs out,Kenny says because of this "jerk"(Im sure he will call him with a funny "Nickname" XD.Maybe shitbird? :P ) mike got injured and the whole group was in danger.
I think it will open with Clementine getting shot and blacking out. Then she wakes up to see Bonnie dead and Mike trying to revive her. Kenny and Luke will both be hurt badly and the baby was taken. Then the whole episode is trying to get the baby back.
I could see the choice between Mike and Bonnie happening and the Arvo choice but the thing is, that's TWO MAJOR CHOICES in the first FIVE MINUTES! I personally think the Arvo choice will be there but the Mike and Bonnie choice will be later in the game like maybe they both get injured and you only have enough medicine for one or something like that, I can't see those two choices right off the bat
The beginning is just gonna be the gunfight and the rest of the episode is gonna be the aftermath.
Good thing im not writing ep 5. I would do a curve ball and open with Clem getting shot in a non fatal area and having the Russian's survive(only 2 of the Russian's are dead).
In pain Clem helplessly clutches her leg where the bullet wound seeps blood and watches as the bald Russian take's her gun from her before you as the player can even pick it up. Luke is covering his neck struggling to reach for his gun as he drowns in his own blood from a shot in his neck. Before Clem can even plead The bald Russian shoot's Luke in the head. Kenny is lung shot and while struggling to breath he tries to unload his gun but only fills the air with empty Clicks and no ammo. The Russian then walks over and strangles Kenny mad that he killed the russian woman. While you as the player try to crawl over and stop him but you are to late and too unable. The bald Russian says something to Arvo. Arvo starts to treat Clem's leg with meds. Then they force Clem to walk limping next to Arvo holding the crying baby for their trek up north. The bald Russian's tells Arvo that Clem and the baby are now their Cattle or food source for their trip up north. Arvo is not sure if he's joking or serious. Through out the episode Clem has to try to get away from the Russian's. Along the journey north they run into Nate and an epic gun battle ensues between Nate and the Bald Russian. While that happens Clem tries to escape limping away with the baby while a limping Arvo joins her since the bald Russian is losing his mind. The choice of Pizza and Ice cream at the end of the episode wouldnt be Kenny or Luke but something different.
I would start Episode 5 with a dream sequence in black & white. Lee is in it and he talks to Clementine for a bit. Then when that ends, Clementine regains consciousness with a gunshot wound in her shoulder. She stands up to see everyone around her on the ground motionless. Then we get to free roam and examine everyone's bodies, hoping someone survived...
Wellington is all the way in Michigan. It would take them almost a year to get there.
I love your Avatar Picture!
Well,then all the "Christa and lilly will be at welligton and clem will meet 'em at episode 5" are impossible theories?Well,they could skip the time,but I wouldn't like that.But still,I believe mike and/or Kenny/Luke/bonnie will be badly injured.
Thanks.
Lets hope that Clem will get her set of power armor next season.
Not that I don't love the new jacket.
If I was writing it?
Have Bonnie, Mike, Clem and the baby survive.
But that won't happen.
But I do think we'll have the choice either to let Kenny execute Arvo or leave him for dead. Because Kenny does everything now.
The Russians and Clementine's group fire at each other and Clementine trips and sees one of the Russians taking the baby, Clementine then has to choose who she wants to rescue the baby. If you choose Kenny, he will shoot the Russian and grab the baby, Luke will question you for choosing Kenny, then Luke runs after him, then Clementine flees the scene with Mike and Bonnie following close behind. If you choose Luke, Kenny will question you while Luke shoots the Russian and runs off with the baby, with Kenny following close behind, Clementine flees the scene with Bonnie and Mike following close behind. If you choose Bonnie, she will get shot in the arm, and carry the baby with one arm, Kenny and Luke will run after Bonnie and Mike will lead Clementine to safety. If you chose Mike, he will get shot in the leg, and carries the baby while limping, Kenny and Luke run after him and Bonnie will lead Clementine to safety. (A Raccoon watches everything that happens).
