Duck after Omid dies? :(

HE'S SUPER SAD ABOUT IT

It dampens his mood for a while but he tries to keep the jokes up to divide the tension between Christa and Clem, kind of like he's trying to fill in the hole Omid left

[fox-from-fairytale]

Lee is facepalming. Luke is scratching the back of his head, concerned. Kenny is muttering under his breath three new nicknames and five insults. Jane is rolling her eyes. Gabe is still resentful of that "we were just friend".

Omid is smiling and clapping, unaware of the mood in the room and genuinely happy that Clementine went for Louis.

Sorry I got the Episode wrong.

It's episode 4 that starts out with the quote "for whom the bell tolls: It tolls for thee" and later on we see the Zombie on the bell trying to drag Ben down in a pit of walkers and the last two episodes as a whole are filled with church bells ringing

It feels like the writers were going for smth here, yknow

Ah, got it! So the first thing to say is that it wouldn't technically be "church" bells, since the bell tower was part of a school I think. But as symbolism I definitely think there's a connection between Chuck's quote at the beginning and the bells.

Bells ringing, particularly church bells, are something that happens when someone in the community has died. "Ask not for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for thee" is basically a way of saying that everyone will die eventually. The issue of death and human mortality is a big theme throughout The Walking Dead, but in terms of this specific episode there's a lot we can point out.

For one, there's Chuck's unavoidable death in this episode, Fitting, since he's the one who said the quote. There's also Ben who can optionally die at his own request. For Kenny, it's very easy to read that he probably WANTS to die after losing his family, and so to him his own death no doubt feels very inevitable. Then there's Vernon and the cancer survivors, who in their own way have seemed to "defy" death by overcoming cancer. Unfortunately for Brie, death catches up to her as she meets her end in Crawford, proving once more than no one escapes in the end. There's also Molly's sister, and Clementine grappling with the idea that her parents have died, not to mention Omid being on the brink of death due to his leg infection. And of course, you can't talk about episode four without mentioning Lee's bite at the end, resulting in his own inevitable death.

Speaking of Crawford, I think they are perhaps the best example of the episode's theme of the inevitability of death. They did so many horrible things, weeding out the sick and the weak, the old and the young, all so that they could prolong their own lives. They even allowed a dictator to have total control with the promise that he'd keep them alive. And yet, in the end, they're all long dead by the time Lee and company arrive. Undone by their own draconian policies. Crawford more than anything else in the episode showcases the inevitability of death. That no matter what you do, you can't escape it in the end. In fact, trying to avoid it can often make it arrive all the quicker.

Overall, while Christianity does deal heavily with themes of death and mortality, particularly in the Resurrection and Crucifixion of Jesus Christ, and God's promise of eternal life to those that believe in Him, I wouldn't necessarily consider the themes of episode four to be specifically Christian, even if "for whom the bell tolls" references a Christian tradition. Pretty much every culture and religion has had to grapple with death in one way or another. It's one of the few unchanging constants in the human experience: everyone dies eventually. It's pretty much as universal as themes get. And like so many cultures and religions, TWDG has about the same conclusion: that this life, whether or not you think there's another kind of life that comes afterward, will inevitably come to an end. You can embrace it like Ben did. You can try to fight like Crawford or Molly or the cancer survivors. You can deny it like Clementine. Or you can simply await it like Kenny did. Death comes all the same.

Thanks for the ask! Don't get many of them these days, so it feels very nice to be able to provide a nice, long answer like this! Hope you like my response!
