One this that hasn't really been covered yet is that while it was a very genuinely moving episode, I think some of the dialogue was some of the funnier stuff I have heard as of late. Did a rewatch tonight while working out and really caught some of the lines again.

Not today you new world order jackboot f****

oh...um......it doesn't get old

hasn't eaten in two days
if I give you a meal you'll tell everyone you come across that I giving out a free lunch. This isn't an Arby's.
Arby's isn't a free lunch, it's a restaurant


in regards to the piano
Do you know how much these things are worth?
Currently nothing


then the spat over fixing up some of the shops was pretty great too.

Frank: "You live in a psycho bunker where 9/11 was an inside job and the government are all Nazis."

Bill: "The government ARE all Nazis!"

Frank: "Well…yeah, now! But not then!"

Just finished ep 3 and loved it. At first I was disappointed that it didn't follow the game where Joel and Ellie arrive to find Bill, but I think the way the show did it drew enough of a connection between Bill and Joel but gave the viewer a thoughtful love story amidst episodes wrought with strife.

The episode gave us a break in the plot at a good time and let Joel and Bill's relationship be what it was - just two dudes who barely trusted one another but would help the other if they could.

Excited for next week.

ETA: I spent 9 days alone in a hospital. My wife brought me maybe two meals the entire time I was there. Some days she didn't show up at all. She's no longer my wife and that's a big reason why. I say all that to say, for those who have found someone that is willing to do that for you, hold on to them, cause not everyone is made that way, and the alternative sucks.

I am sorry to hear that. Reading that put a lump in the throat. Mine ran back and forth between work, the house, and hospital every day and stayed every night. I pleaded with her at times to get a good night sleep at home but she wouldn't have it. She took notes from the docs/nurses, even argued with them at times, and organized my meds and follows ups once out. I got lucky on the spouse lottery.

Damn it. I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you find who you're looking for sooner rather than later

This episode is both hopeful to those who have not yet found their person, and relatable for those who have to not take them for granted.

Powerful episode of TV that resonates even more strongly for me today than it did yesterday

Ellie awkwardly reading all the hehehehs in the letter also had me rolling.

Rereading the episode caption, they should have provided a little more briefing than...

Quote:

When a stranger approaches his compound, survivalist Bill forges an unlikely connection. Later, Joel and Ellie seek Bill's guidance.


Rather misleading I'd say.

Are you asking for a trigger warning when being exposed to gay people?

It's already rated TV-MA, but I guess the "mature" part of that designation isn't explicit enough for some.

I'm not reading the 120+ posts since I checked this morning, but…

I'll admit the episode took me outside of my comfort zone regarding gay stuff. I could have done with less man kissing. But the story was beautifully written, told, and acted. Really well done.


Not to criticize, it just blows my mind that it makes anyone THAT uncomfortable. Its not like you're seeing them naked gettinf after it. It's just lips meeting….

It's just mind blowing to me that you'd let that affect such an awesome episode. I can't imagine being upset at two people kissing as long as they're consenting adults…. Just bizarre.

And if it's that upsetting just skip it. We skipped/FF'ed all the gay parts and it was fine.

It's just so funny to me. You're with your wife or girlfriend, and two actos put their lips together and you're wincing and begging for a fast forward. You pause the show and just say you can't handle it.

I mean, really? To me that's way over the top, but I've been watching straight people mug down for my entire life.

Anyways, moving on.

It was more of a "here we go", rolled our eyes, and just FF'ed.

Perhaps they need a rating designation for very sensitive social conservatives. "RATED R/HOMO"

Jumped forward in 15 second intervals. Got the gist of it from Ellie's letter.

What an awful snoozer. I signed on to watch zombies and guns, not brokeback compound. I don't even care about all the gay stuff. I thought the crappy HBO app put on a nee episode of stupid Station Eleven instead of the show I thought I wanted. I am sure that episode will get them some kind of award nomination for being so brave and whatever, but it was boring as hell and if they keep this up, I am out. Learned my lesson on Station crappy ass Eleven.

so you basically watched, what? 5 mins of the episode? They were two gay men. Hate to tell you, but any time Frank or Bill were on-screen, it was a "gay part."

Basically about 10 to 15 min after FF'eds. It was a filler episode in the overall story so I'm not too broken up over it.

This is not a show for you. From what I can gather... yes there are zombies. But that's not the main point of the show. It's about human relationships.

Please stop watching.

Is this for real? I thought this based off a video game? How do you make a video game out of human relationships? Video games are blasting zombies and box pushing.

I feel like this episode is probably a one off. Not sure I would stop watching a show based on one episode that appears to have very little with what is going to take place in the future.

I think it's okay to not love that episode. If I just liked it, can the show still be for me? This over the top reaction to this episode from both camps is weird. This is a fungus zombie show based on a video game with great actors and decent writing.

You don't sound like you've played many games. You can go back to the 90s and find games with human relationships, and it's only evolved as a story telling medium since then.

I havent played the video game yet, but my understanding from what friends have told me is they did manage to make a great video game out of human relationships. My understanding is it isn't Left 4 Dead or Halo

How are they going to invest an entire hour into building a character and then have him die before he has any real interaction with the main characters? I will give them one more episode, but they are on thin ice with me. Three episodes in and I haven't really built any kind of connection with any characters. Not sure where the great acting has been seen. Pedro is just playing the Mandolorean again. Ron Swanson didn't really reach too far out of his comfort zone. Quiet, gruff, with a few hard hitters. They are doing fine, but let's not pretend they are suddenly Don Cheadle.

That makes no sense to me. There's too much in life to enjoy then to watch something you hate.
