That was the weakest episode of this season so far.
And I still don't understand why they needed to name a "random recurring character" James Kirk for no apparent reason, since it's obviously not Kirk (they could have called him Jim Carrey).
yet another filler ep imo.
If they tell me it's an episode of TWD I believe it... Episode to spare
Static filler borefest packed with bad dialogue. Should've at least spiced the pace up by alternating the generic teenage trash with present-set sequences in which Ellie clashes with infected and cannibals trying to get supplies for Joel, just as they did with the game.
The episode is boring, and flash back would have been better for a simple duration of 15 minutes to 20 minutes only, without going into many details that take up the episode time, which we have been waiting for a whole week.
I can't rate the episode more than 3/10
Easily the weakest episode yet. The stuff we got was good, it was enjoyable, I liked the characters together - but it felt like it lacked any sort of resolution. This episode left me feeling unsatisfied.
I worry that the final two episodes are going to feel rushed.
They made this even sadder than the game.
I have always said that The Last of Us is a game that I would watch as a TV series. Now that I'm watching it on HBO, I'm thinking this is the way I'd like to watch a game being played on YouTube or Twitch or whatever you're streaming on.
The third episode was a slow one, focusing on Bill's backstory, which is very different from the game, but it's a wonderful change, deeply emotional.
In the game, I never had the chance to get to know Bill more, and now that I have, I'm grateful that this show is expanding on what was already a beautiful story.
Never commented on Trakt before, but wow what an episode! Felt compelled. One of the best bits of television I have seen in recent memory.
"i was never afraid before you showed up" yeah you can stop right there, i was already crying :sob: i wasn't ready for all the TEARS TODAY
This is it folks, this is peak television. What we have here is one of the most gut wrenching and masterfully crafted episodes ever brought to screen. Absolutely fucking phenomenal with career best performances from Murray Bartlett and Nick Oferman. Holy shit this will stick with me.
THEY PROMISED ME ZOMBIES AND ALL I HAVE NOW IS DEPRESSION
What a beautiful episode, I don't remember an episode like this for years, very well done, just perfect.
Which version do you prefer? The Game or the Show? I will have to go with the show, its more happy, kinda.
The Punisher was fighting to find redemption while Jon Bernthal was fighting for an Emmy Award.
Jesus, that graveyard scene. Jon Berthal was fantastic there.
The first four episodes were amazing.
Some great cultural elements and history continue to be explored, but once again a Marvel show uses almost an entire episode late into the series to flashback and provide a bunch of background information and exposition that forces the main story to a screeching halt right before the finale. This is something that the MCU Disney+ shows have really struggled with. I like what they explored in the flashbacks this episode and especially with Kamala traveling back to the partition, but I just think they spent too much time in flashbacks for this being the penultimate episode. We did get important forward plot movement but it felt somewhat rushed and tagged onto the end because we spent a large chunk of the episode outside of the main story. Either the episode needed to be longer or there needs to be more episodes in the season.
Another filler. Fast forward to 42'35, thank me later
Ever watched your grandma chase a rat around the house and think I should write a tv episode about this? No? Me either.
