Wrecked Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 That was another fantastic episode. Bella is such a strong Ellie, she’s really nailed that character. I was cackling when they wouldn’t give her a gun so she said she’d have to throw a sandwich instead. Everything about this episode just felt so ridiculously TLOU, in the best way possible. I can’t wait for the next episode which is apparently an incredible piece of television. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted to have an encounter with them in the game SO bad, I was fuming when I realized that weren't even around anymore. That’s one of the things that’s going to be so great about this television adaption. It’s like the stuff with Jakarta, that wouldn’t have fit into the narrative of the game but makes complete sense in a television format. I am loving all of this new backstory we’re getting.

Eóghan Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 eek Anna Torv was lowkey the best from the cast. she elevates anything she's in, she's that good. I'm enjoying the show for what it is but we've had such a overdose of post-apocalyptic living dead movies/tv shows in the past decade that this feels too much been there, done that.

TimeAmpala Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 The entire scene at the end of E02 just did not work for me. The reveal of the bite fell flat, their reactions fell flat, her death fell flat. E03 is supposedly a highlight so let's see. Everybody was praising the show for sticking tightly to the game's script and now they're changing stuff left and right unnecessarily. We'll see. I'm lowering hopes tbh.

Liafen Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Yeah I still think they wasted Torv. Could've been more impactful for her to go out in the next one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost In Paradise Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 one thing I was NOT expecting was how annoying the character of Ellie is I've never played or watched the games, but from what friends told me, I always imagined her as a somewhat lovable character. I'm not getting that in the show at all. nothing against Bella's acting. the writing just makes her so insufferable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's supposed to be this smart ass, annoying teenager. So she fits Ellies personality to the tea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of the hate comes from a really disturbing place because so many people found Ellie attractive in the first game and used to say such perverted **** about her, even though she was 14 years old. Pedro doesn’t look like Joel either, but he’s great in the role. Him and Bella have both embodied those characters perfectly to me and also brought something new to the table. It doesn’t feel like they’re just emulating the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
