Actually, why did we have Rebecca when we could have used Christa's pregnancy as the 'baby plot' of Season 2?
It probably just was originally Christa in an earlier draft. You don't have to change too much to make it fit. Christa and Clem get separated in E1, then Clem gets reunited with her in E2 instead of Kenny. Christa's the first person to mention Wellington and Matthew says lots of people who cross his bridge are heading there. Not too big a stretch that if Christa escaped, she'd end up at Walter and Matthew's lodge, then decide to wait there in hope of Clementine coming the same way. Then when the baby's born there can be a callback to the conversation at the beginning of the game. There's actually a "Christa will remember that." for Clem's answer there, but not Omid, suggesting it would be flagged for something she says later.
But then you'd have to leave out the sixteen months later thing, and I'm guessing the people in charge really felt like they needed that. So with the time skip, that meant Christa's baby would have to be handled (i.e. forgotten) off-screen and she's replaced with a similar character with a baby on the way. Stupid time skip. =/
Yeah, I was misled into thinking that Christa being separated in ambiguous circumstances would have built up anticipation for her returning … morelater in the season. Little did we know that this was actually a hack's way of killing off an 'unimportant character' off-screen so that they can revive a dead character and force us to get involved in the drama of a new cast.

I know, it's not really fair for Sarah because nobody ever taught her anything about how to survive so we really didn't know if she was going to turn out like Jaime, but in any case the fact that no one even talks about it when she dies is what really does it, I mean can't I at least have the option to be sad about it, because even if you act sad afterwards it's more because Jane left than Sarah died which kinda bugged me, I never hug Luke on my playthroughs because hitting him is just too funny and cute but that would have been a good moment to get that hug from Luke...
As for Omid and Christa, well I'd be OK with Omid dying but I really think the separation should have come from one of them having to choose between saving their baby and Clementine because it just seems more depressing and like it'd fit the mood of the game better, what you said is probably true though, at some point Christa was probably in the story instead of Kenny, I think I would have preferred that but that maybe because I didn't get along with Kenny in Season 1, but it would also have made more sense.
The whole point of killing off Omid in the beginning is to symbolically kill off Christa & Clem's chance at hope. I can get behind that… more idea. I can even get behind Sarah dying horribly despite your best efforts to save her.
What's not cool is having the developers laugh about how annoying she is and take glee in killing her off andr forcing you to hurt her to save her. What ain't cool is the ridiculously illogical, cartoonish circumstances behind her death. What ain't cool is having nobody even talk about her after she's dead - for fuck's sake, there's more time spent grieving over Duck, a character who's never even seen in this season, than her. What ain't cool is that Kenny gets the most dignified, respectful send-off of any character barring Lee, regardless of how realistic or consistent his send-offs are with his personality - my anger at this is because the bias towards redeeming Kenny reveals that the writers aren't actually… [view original content]
I didn't want to kill Carver either and I was pretty pissed at Kenny for killing him but I don't know if I'd want him alive, to be honest the horde plan seemed bad to me because there were lots of good people at Carver's camp and we kinda got them all killed so we could escape, so I would have voted for another escape plan that didn't involve getting Carver and his people killed because I didn't want to stay there either.
I wanted to stay honestly they had food and supplies to last a good bit. If Carver got worse than he was, I actually didn't mind what he was doing earlier, then I would bail during the night when I wasn't in the pen. I wasn't really mad with Kenneth I just said welp he got caught and now he's dead and I can't do anything about it. And then I left Kenneth to get his revenge as I didn't think Clem really needed to see it.

Well I was mad at Kenny because I don't approve of his revenge, if he had just shot him and gotten it over that way it would have been fine but he wasted everyone's time which was risky, sure it was only a minute or 2 but still it pissed me off, then again I was never in good standing with Kenny, I tend to lean towards the compassionate side so I didn't get along with him on season 1 and I wanted him to change after saving Ben but he didn't and I was really disappointed in him, I still thought he was a good character but I don't like him very much, he's an asshole.
Besides he didn't want to help me look for Clementine so I never really trusted him much on season 2 because of that as him caring for Clementine seemed rather dubious.
Well like I said I didn't want the camp to get overrun because I didn't want the people in there to die so that should make it pretty obvious why I wasn't happy with Kenny's behavior.

For some reason, all of the other deaths that occur in the game don't become that emotional for me after some time. The only death I will always get emotional at the sound of and that will probably never change is Lee.

RIP Lee - The greatest man we ever knew. Dying and marching through death, but he doesn't give a damn because Clementine needs him. The greatest video game hero.
RIP Luke - the nicest guy in the group. Clementine's bro. He was too good for this world. Here's to the ending that Telltale changed at the last minute, and the hope we may see it one day.
RIP Nick - The realest character in TWD game. Suffered so much and all he wanted was to help out his friends.
RIP Sarah - Most innocent of all of the characters. Too much pain she suffered in death.
RIP Maybelle - Everyone forgot about you after they killed your masters.
Is it wrong that Sarah is the only character I didn't want to die?
I actually felt the same way. Partially because most of the S2 ca… morest was so unappealing, but even if I did like the new cast Sarah would have stuck out as my favorite. I think the actor who voiced her did a really amazing job. Her performance just perfectly captures this image of a kind and innocent soul suffering in an incredibly cruel and arbitrary world. The whole deck scene actually helped me to understand why Kenny chose to stay behind with Ben in S1. For me, in that moment, dying trying to stop something so horrible actually felt preferable to staying alive and watching it happen.
I really hate there's almost no acknowledgement of Sarah after she dies, especially in the conversation when Jane is leaving. All this crap about dragging Jamie through the apocalypse for months being used to write off Sarah less than a day after her father was killed. Jane is clearly… [view original content]

Of course! :Do no need to ask
I will hold a comment of silence for Lee:

Yeah I lost a lot of respect that was already lost when he called Ben a shitbird again. Well said
"you have to shoot me, honey"
Ahem...
RIP Lee. RIP sweet Clementine. RIP others.
Well. Here we go.

I've already made peace with everyone's death. No point in crying over spilled milk.
That is funny...
I wish i could feel again.

My husband.
Clementine?
Sweet Clementine.
Too much of her adorableness and child-like joy died with Lee. TOO MUCH! ;_;
Let me share your pain with you, sister
What about Carl from the Tv show, i thought you liked him.
I do.
But he's not my husband.
Then what is he?
A character I like...?
Ok. Fair point...
