emailmyhearts Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Wow this was beautiful at first I wasn’t sure about the fact that Bill is gonna be dead by the time Ellie and Joel get to his town because I really wanted to see them bicker but this is so much better for TV. I’m glad they gave them an amazing backstory. Btw for anyone thinking this is sad if you think about it they had a better ending and life than 99% of tlou characters. Not sure if this makes people feel worse or better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikeymoonshine Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 This episode broke me I fully agree with the choice to change it from the game. Bill is such a depressing character in the game, yeah his banter with Ellie is fun but his life is so sad. You can tell Neil wanted to give this character a better story. I don't think you can even call it "bury your gays" because they were old and died on their own terms rather than simply dying to service the arcs of straight characters or to give some allegorical lesson about homophobia. Plus really Bill's function in the plot is 1: the battery and 2: to force Joel to think about Tess's death. The show still managed to achieve that. This is the dealing with loss part of the story, Joel and Ellie still went through that in the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peroxide Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 I don’t think a single episode of TV has effected me as much since Black Mirrors San Junipero. I spent the entire episode sobbing. Exceptional television. I’m truly floored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOnlyOne Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 5 hours ago, Tropical said: That was one of the most unexpected, beautiful and moving episodes of television I've seen in a very long time. Probably since one of those absolutely legendary mid-series episodes of Game of Thrones when those long built up and developed moments were paid off. Game of Thrones never once pulled off level of emotion or quality for me. I’m gonna say this was the best episode of television since the Six Feet Under finale almost 20 years ago.

Pitbullek Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 It was an ok episode. Very different from the game's version of events. A little bit boring and cliche. And people calling it "the greatest piece of TV show" clearly haven't watched too many shows. Just stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dystopian Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 people calling this episode a filler don't understand that side characters and a subplot can progress themes from the main plot. bill's letter to joel is literally the catalyst that leads to joel's character arc.

Flexus Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Excellent excellent episode, I truly loved it it was also quite refreshing to have a bit of a different arc to the games but that does lead to the same purpose.
