She stabbed the zombie with a knife because she has a rebellious death wish, not for some tactical reason. The whole reason she went into the store is because she's bored with life behind the walls and gets her thrills from killing zombies. Now, I hated watching it because people making moronic decisions in shows is annoying to me, but it seemed clear the purpose of it.

Good point. Given that....It's been a long time since last season, does anyone else in their group know besides Joel that she is potentially a cure for the fungal disease? I can't imagine they would risk her running around like that.... she's a potential savior of humanity.

Ellie always has a knife as a weapon in the game.

So the folks coming down the hill are the good guys? I mean they are in the right IMO.

Joel tells his nephew to keep shooting mistress right before the kid play shots him. Implying Joel is a monster

Great Catherine O'Hara appearance

Why would you choose a knife to fight something that can infect you with a bite? Use the gun or someone that puts you farther away than a knife. Even with a knife the zombie is still going to scream and make noise ... But we constantly see Ellie is a poor decision maker


Market scene: Showing something skitter by in the background that the character doesn't see always works

Meh.
"Girl Power" to the point of being ridiculous.
*The group going after Joel, led by a woman.
*Ellie submits a much larger guy while MMA training (with bad technique lol) & demands he not pull punches in the future. Please.
*Ellie breaks rules & Joel's brother capitulates and lets her go on patrol. Fine, but hey lets do that again!:
*Ellie breaks rules while on patrol, patrol leader (of course, another woman) capitulates & lets her go clear a building with another woman while the 2 cowboys & more experienced woman sit on their horses. (Probably mares)

Other gripes:
*Ellie stabs infected with her knife instead of shooting it. Ever hear of the phrase "don't bring a knife to a gunfight?"
*Ellie roams around the middle of the ground floor of the building, exposing herself to attack. Why not walk perimeter walls to limit the direction possible threats can come from? Is she experienced or not?
*Ellie goes on "trial" to answer questions on the smart infected and for breaking rules. She gets away with breaking rules because guys have done it.

I like the direction they are going with the smart infected. I feel Joel's pain on dealing with teenage girl problems. But Ellie is just an unlikable b*tch in this episode that everyone kowtows to. Maybe they are setting her up for redemption later in the season.

This is an awful thing to say, but Bella Ramsey just doesn't have a face for tv/movies.

---

Yes. I'm not saying every actress needs to be an 8+, but she is so unattractive that it is a distraction in a bad way. In TexAgs parlance, 2/10.

All I know is that it took me 2 days to figure out the head of the Fire Flies is Loretta from Justified, and now I can sleep.

That has been bugging me all week. I couldn't remember where I had seen her before. I loved the Justified series - not sure why I couldn't connect the dots.

I convinced myself she was in the girl power version of Super Bad (don't recall the movie title).

I was too lazy to internet sleuth, so, thank you for that.
