I totally understand that a lot of time, effort, and emotional energy would have been invested in the pregnancy reveal, but the reality is it didn't work. They should have cut it and found another way.
(To be more specific, the way it played out in a physical sense just didn't make any logical sense; as an actor she had to wait for the action—the movement and sound—to end before she could speak, or neither we nor the people she's speaking to hear her, but it makes no sense for her to do that IRL, of course, because once she realised everyone was looking at her she would not have revealed this information.)
After the masterful episode 4 I thought it's only going to get better. However I felt the Sam and Henry story was rushed, there was not enough time spent with these two characters in order for their deaths to be as impactful as it was in the game. Also, the character and the story of Kathleen or whatever her name was, is probably the worst thing I have ever seen on TV. The only bad thing happening to that entire sequence is Jeffrey Pierce not spending few more episodes on screen.
Still a great episode, but for me it might be my least favourite adaptation of the game's material yet. I felt it was very rushed and I never formed the same emotional attachment to Sam and Henry as I did in the game. I felt the tunnel section was done super dirty here, and it felt like they only even included it as a sort of nod to the game. I also really wasn't a fan of how they wrapped up the Kathleen plot. They gave her quite a bit of screen time for someone that just got unalived in an instant, and I felt like all her time on screen up until then didn't really add anything to the story.
Episode 3 was amazing, and I'm very glad we got it and that it was the length it was, but when I see Bill and Frank getting so much time to tell such a small story, I expect bigger stories like Sam and Henry to be treated with at least an equal amount of respect, and sadly that didn't happen. This definitely could have done with being another longer episode with an extra 20 minutes or so.
