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.
Please stop watching.
If you didn't love this episode, this is not the show for you.
It makes no sense to watch a show you don't like then ***** about it on the internet.

I listened to the HBO podcast about this episode and they specifically said they were trying to be inclusive with this episode. They specifically casted Frank because he is a middle age gay male. Thought that was interesting
They also mentioned about trying to showcasing the different phases of love in a long term relationship and the similarities between Bill and Joel. Bills sole purpose in life was to keep Frank alive and he failed. Joel has that same purpose and failed on two different occasions. This will ultimately build the relationship he has with Ellie throughout the show

And Bill's hole that Frank fell into foreshadowed what happened later with Bill.drmwvr said:When they showed the montage of Bill prepping the property, there was a shot of him where he was covering what I assumed was a hole in the ground with chicken wire and mud (the camera angle was from the bottom of the hole looking out). Best bet is that this foreshadowed the hole that Frank fell into.AggieOO said:
i assumed the hole was covered somehow, although I didn't see anything down at the bottom when Frank was in there.

I can't believe no one commented on them living in sin before they were married.

Also as a pharmacist where the **** they getting 20 year old pills from. I know the narcotics are still being made but I'm doubting pills for chronic diseases are still being produced.

From what Joel told Ellie about how it spread was very interesting. It makes perfect sense about how a bunch of people were infected around the same time and how it spread so fast since it was packaged in a facility where the grain was contaminated (confirmed in episode 2). Then as the products were purchased and consumed it spread ridiculously fast.
I remember in the first episode where the old man neighbor was feeding the old woman invalid a bread looking substance and then later that day we have that creepy edge of the screen visual of that old woman having convulsions. Fast forward to that night and she is now eating people.
Maybe Joel not buying that cake for his birthday in episode 1 saved his life.

the way that the last of us outbreak happened in 2003 in the show.. imagine seeing an infected running at you wearing juicy couture

Getting bitten by an infected with a sideways Von Dutch trucker cap on...wouldn't wish it on my worst my enemy.

I mean many of them would still likely work years after the expiration date but it's hard to know if they would just become less effective vs break down into something toxic. After 20 years the risk of poisoning yourself could be significant if you don't know what the medication breaks down into.
During the lunch "meeting" they mention they can get them medicine from the QZ.

Oh... I guarantee you Pfizer is still around. I'm waiting for the flashback that shows Pfizer scientists watching that clip from 1968 and purposefully mutating the fungus in their Jakarta lab, so they could then come up with a cure...Madmarttigan said:

I've read this post a few times now and I always get stuck right here. What does this mean?????Milwaukees Best Light said:
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.

Ahhhh, you had me until this line right here. You went just a tad too far using Don Cheadle as your example of top-notch acting. He's good, but nobody is using him as their measuring stick for great acting. But decent enough job, you did have me for a second.
Lol yeah, I use Cheadle as the butt of jokes all the time. "His acting is great, but he's no Don Cheadle."
Cheadle is probably the most mediocre, big name actor that I can think of. No charisma, vanilla as hell, always a safe choice as a secondary character that doesn't require any heavy lifting. He's basically made a name and fortune for himself playing those roles next to more talented/established actors.

Ellie awkwardly reading all the hehehehs in the letter also had me rolling.
I thought it was her reading out a Nick Offerman giggle.
Also embarrassingly I realized in this episode that Tess was Anna Torv from Fringe.
Amazing episode.

The Last of Us doesn't look like it'll be losing steam any time soon. On Sunday, 6.4M people tuned in to watch the third episode of the post-apocalyptic series across HBO and HBO Max, according to Nielsen and first party data.
That's a 12% increase from last week's viewership, which already had set a record for the largest week 2 audience growth for an HBO Original drama series in the history of the network. Sunday's audience is also up 37% from the series premiere, which was watched same-day by 4.7M people.
