Confused: what (and why) are they doing to Oscar?


Thanks

His brain was swelling. I assume they were trying to release the pressure.

When Travis was killing the two thugs that killed Chris, Oscar got into the room to try to stop him and Travis shoved him and he hit his head on the door or something.

They were cutting his head open to try to relieve the pressure as apparently his brain was swelling.

Ridiculous.... the two injured boys put up a massive fight and finally die but one shove from Travis and Oscar (who is totally healthy) hits his head and dies. This show is really suffering from some terrible writing.

The Oscar part is the only one that I didn't like. Hard to believe he suffered an injury that bad from that. It was just a way to force the group from the hotel.

I agree! I didn't even see him get hurt, and I don't know why his injury was so serious.

Yeah . . . I must have missed when Travis hurt that guy. I didn't even see it happen! I was too focused on Travis beating down those two jerks! GO TRAVIS!!

ETA: How did they know his brain was swelling? Maybe he would have gotten better if they hadn't cracked open his skull.

He totally slammed the door on oscar's head hard. It happened really fast though.

Poor Oscar. He and his brother were good peeps.

reply

They knew his brain was swelling because his pupils were dilated. Hence the attempt at trephination.

For Christ sake you would just use a tiny drill bit to open up the scull. It makes me think of the doctor that just pushed Lincoln's bullet further into his brain.
