spiritboy Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 It was a boring episode for me. Hope next week we'll see more action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liafen Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 This is just not up to par with the game for me. And that's okay. But some things just get lost in game-to-TV translation - and the self-containted magic of Left Behind is another example of things falling short of the original. It's a steady adaptation but I cannot feel as engaged with the show somehow. E.g. Joel's injury, for the most part, was ridiculously underdone, the weight of it is just holds so much more pressure and almost has a sickening effect in the game.

Gottasadae Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 I'm kinda surprised they dedicated the whole episode to DLC that wasn't even in the main game story I mean 20 minutes would be enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cloudbusting Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 Ellie literally reads another young girl’s diary and thinks the way she talks and what she cares about are bizarre - she grew up in a totally different world. Expecting her to be just like an average teen that we know of through the experiences of real life makes no sense and that’s ignoring the fact that teen girls aren’t a monolith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually really enjoyed this one. But as a whole; his TV influence on the property, I don't want it anywhere near the third game. There's almost like a "watered-down ness" to the show. The game shows more conviction and consistency in tone, characters, plot, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K$Ellie Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 another excellent episode i've noticed the two gay episodes got tanked on imdb and i'm assuming it's because of that or maybe bc they weren't part of the main storyline? but idk why you'd watch this show for non stop action or whatever when it's fairly slow paced anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrecked Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 HBO live viewers so far: 1X01 = 588K 1X02 = 633K 1X03 = 747K 1X04 = 991K 1X05 = 382K 1X06 = 841K 1X07 = 1.08 million So even though the bulk of this shows viewership comes from HBO Max, it’s still impressive that’s it’s managed to achieve a series high of live viewers 7 weeks in.

Left Behind was initially a DLC you had to pay for back in 2013, but the remastered edition that came out in 2014 for PS4 had it included for free and so does the remake from last year. I can’t imagine that there would be a big portion of the fanbase who haven’t played Left Behind. These people should have just stopped watching after episode 3 because if you’re homophobic, TLOU isn’t for you. Period. I can’t wait for the meltdowns when… Spoiler Lev (trans character) is introduced. Edited March 1, 2023 by Wrecked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desire Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Never played the game but this ep gave strong DLC vibes and I'm glad I was correct Another amazing episode and it featured a heavy gay storyline again. The gays, their power Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystery Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 (edited) I'm sorry what the ****? I just caught up with the episode and it was incredible. I don't get why anyone is hating on this (though one very obvious reason comes to mind). This was beautifully done especially on the acting front, they sold that infatuation awkwardness well and the chemistry was off the charts. I loved how the entire episode felt like a quiet intimate night out with your friend while we as the viewer had that dread that something would go terribly wrong. I thought that adding the scene with the infected was a great choice to add an uneasy element where while we do see them finally kiss and openly admit their feelings for one another we also know that something else is coming. Great choice. It would be lame for that one lone infected to just burst in out of nowhere and be done with in a minute. I cried more than on Episode 3. This was also a great way to explore Ellie's character and her motivations deeper and adds a lot of layers to her previous dialogues and behaviour.

Wrecked Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 (edited) The ‘boring’ comments are so weird to me as no episode has felt boring and I’ve never experienced 50 minute / hour long episodes fly by so fast before. The way I’m gripped from the very first second is crazy. TLOU is just that good. Edited March 2, 2023 by Wrecked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patient Zero Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 TLOU is one of my favorite gaming franchises. I love Part 1, and Part 2 is one of the best games ever. I'm absolutely loving the show because I'm kinda seperating thee show with the game. It will never be like the game, people should accept this. The show in itself is so amazingly done. Can't wait for the last two episodes. Waiting for season 2 is going to be hellll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
