I already know the game is great and I don't need convincing to play but this was the first episode that made me wanna play the game for some reason
Show could easily stretch to 4-5 seasons but they covered the whole first game in 9 episodes
...oh ffs just because there's like 4 hours per day in the game of ellie roaming around and killing hundreds of humans and infected doesn't mean that would work in a non-interactive tv show, let's be serious for once
Her expressions really aren’t that great. Getting nothing, feeling nothing. That scene and the one with Dina talking about her first kill are just flat. Compare that to Nora and Dina who are giving us way more in those respective scenes
They can cope about it but I’m not gonna lie and praise Bella just because she’s getting trolled.
Yeah.. her facial expressions are definitely inconsistent. Sometimes it's there.. sometimes it's not.
I get what people mean about Ellie’s writing in this ep.
I’m not gonna be like she’s MEANT to be like _
Because it’s a different take by two of the same writers
But I much preferred her broken down, shut off, quiet etc at this part of the game. Her and Dina doing sitcom dialogue and her coming into the episode all quippy, chirpy and happy doesn’t really feel like a good change to me.
I mean, I’d be the same if I got to spend time with isabela merced too but idk she just lost Joel and is going on this soul poisoning, empty revenge mission. And yet she seems more chipper and bubbly now than she ever was in s1
I suspect this to change by the end of the episode tho
...that was literally the whole point of the final minutes, she was always hiding that anger/trauma, hiding that "monster" inside her and that was also what episode 3 was all about
Can y'all even have a just-a-lil-above the surface reading of "look at ellie, she's so happy and doesn't even care"... like wtf is like y'all watch the show while scrolling on tiktok or sum

I get it, she was compartmentalising her rage and anger up until the end of the episode when her vengeance mission began to really take shape and it flipped like a light switch. The mask slipped and that Ellie at the end is who she really has been the whole time since Joel died.
I don’t like it!! I don’t like that
tapping in now
how is it?
Another good episode
Tv shows when it comes to stalling momentum with a flashback gimmick

gonna be the most useless ep since that bill s***
Are we gonna pretend the flashback scene in tlou2 ain’t one of the best parts of the game now?

You could've had a whole season alone on the events in between TLOU1 and 2

we yearn for ellie rage

Oh you woke up still mad about it lol
this show has been moving way too fast smh
It was my biggest problem with S1 and it’s my biggest problem again with this season. I wonder if people who havnt played the game though feel like it’s moving really fast, or if it’s just because I’m informed by my experience with the game

Having played the game, it literally makes no fcking sense having 10 hours of ellie going from point A to point B in a non-interactive piece... please use your brains for a sec
episode was ok
wish they lingered on ellie torturing nora
Bro this doesn't work like in the game when u keep pressing square to smash her, is a complete different pace a complete different thing y'all need get this in your head for once
