8.5/10 Sensational Well that was left field and no iconic meeting of Ellie and Bill plus the upside down survival set-piece scene, I was really looking forward to seeing that all play out in the live action show it would have been Epic. that being said and having a hole 1H 17M deviation by the end I was sold on the massive change up. Bill and Frank's sexual preference was never ever stated in the game Bill only refers to Frank as his partner* because originally Neil Druckmann wrote Bill and Frank as police Detectives before the world went to hell in a hand basket, hence partner* but later Neil rewrote Bills back story so the audience/game players could interpret for themselves If they believed Bill and Frank were Straight or Gay. Neil purposely left that open in the game for everyone to have their own personal Interpretation, but not once is it ever stated either way After Neil changed it before the games official release (June 14th 2013).
So okay we've had No interpretation Interpretation No Question speaks for itself. Do I prefer the games Events at that part Yes definitely (If it ain't broke..) was this episode a Gamble, yes but at the end of this episode for me it Landed and hit me right in the feels so it still got the job done of what it needed to achieve.

8.5/10
Sensational
Well that was left field
and no iconic meeting
of Ellie and Bill
plus the upside down
survival set-piece scene,
I was really looking forward
to seeing that all
play out in the live
action show it would have
been Epic.
that being said
and having a hole
1H 17M
deviation by the end I
was sold on the massive
change up.
Bill and Frank's sexual
preference was never
ever stated in the game
Bill only refers to
Frank as his partner*
because originally
Neil Druckmann
wrote Bill and Frank
as police Detectives
before the world went
to hell in a hand basket,
hence partner*
but later Neil rewrote
Bills back story so
the
audience/game players
could interpret for
themselves
If they believed
Bill and Frank
were Straight or Gay.
Neil purposely left
that open in the game
for everyone to have
their own personal
Interpretation,
but not once is it
ever stated either way
After Neil changed it
before the games official
release
(June 14th 2013).
So okay we've had
No interpretation
Interpretation
No Question speaks
for itself.
Do I prefer the games
Events at that part
Yes definitely
(If it ain't broke..)
was this episode a
Gamble, yes
but at the end of this
episode for me it
Landed and hit me right
in the feels so it still got
the job done of what it
needed to achieve.
