The whole sequence where you stumble out of the university with the blurred vision had me sweating and crying cause I had no idea what was gonna happen. okay SAME like I get that it was maybe a bit too video game-y, but it’s iconic imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hector Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Joel's scenes with Tommy & Ellie were powerful this episode. Pedro Pascal's acting has never been better and I hope he comes for the Drama Actor Emmy this year. Great episode! The cliffhanger And next week's episode looks very Euphoria meets The Last Of Us, especially with Storm Reid in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dystopian Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 (edited) godro was really going for the emmy this episode i'm glad they didn't go for the fall. he was already in bad shape and it never really made sense in the game. there's no way he would've survived falling from a 1st floor and being impaled by a metal bar. also once he was impaled he was just out of it, you can see the fear in his eyes after being stabbed and it just translates way better for tv. every change they've done so far has been perfect.

He only falls one floor You can find clips on YouTube to confirm. I've been on board with all changes too but I really think this is far less effective. Spoiler I feel rather confident that no one watching the show who hasn't played the games actually thinks he'll die from this stabbing. We've seen characters survive stabs to the belly in countless shows/movies before. But when I was playing TLoU, I truly thought he might die from the fall and found the whole sequence very moving, thinking it might be my last time playing as Joel. They didn't capture that emotion at all for me here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ciel Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Another great episode And theY were ACTING. I was honestly dreading this episode though cause the University part...ugh I was not trying to relieve that again. I don't mind what they did with it though.

The change was perfect for the tv show, it´s more realistic and grounded, because let´s be honest, videogame Joel is borderline a marvel superhero that kill enemies left and right and kept up with his tetanus shots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eclipsed Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 i'm a huge fan of world building so i loved this episode, everything said has so much meaning even the little things. they are really nailing it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starshine Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Wow they just breezed through that University and town. Now I can see how they’re fitting everything into one season. It was done well I guess and I was scared too many things would be omitted. I hope Part II is at least 2 seasons long though, there’s too much content.

Wrecked Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 (edited) Another fantastic episode! There was so much great dialogue this episode and I absolutely loved the heart to heart Joel and Tommy had. It felt a lot more impactful than it did in the video game. I wasn't sure if they were going to have Joel get injured like they did in the video game, but I'm glad that they did and I think the way they went about it made perfect sense for this medium. Did anybody else notice the appearance of... Dina in the canteen? Also, this cover song was amazing and made that entire final sequence even more chilling.
