Next week seems to be entirely a flashback episode of backstory on Ella prior to her meeting Joel & Tess. So there will be some buildup of suspense on how lethal Joel’s wound actually is, and/or who could possibly be around to help them.
They have been following the story line of the game. It was an entertaining episode and the last 3 episodes should be amazing if they don’t spend too much time with flash backs.
Husband clearly struggled with some Bill/Frank scenes since he siddled up close to me for the snugs. I cried when Joel tried to leave the kid (despite knowing that probably wouldn’t last long).
Confusing attraction to Pedro Pascal still holding.
Eh, it was ok. Not a lot really happened until the end, imo. Met some new characters, but no clear direction on if they play a later role. I’m assuming so, just cuz.
the show seems to have taken a Game of Thrones attitude toward special effects: sparingly.
Joel is like a video game character, just gets up and is all better after two penicillin shots in the wrong place.
Always one perv in cloak.
Yeah I was surprised at that too. I mean sure ambush the dude who comes down the stairs but he seemed far too fine after two doses of antibiotics. I had strep throat and didn’t feel back to myself for about 3 days with two doses per day, let alone a stab wound to the gut.
Probably tetanus, but this is real-world postulating for a TV show.
We don’t know how deep that bat went in, what organs it damaged, etc. We do know that the TV series wouldn’t kill him before a big finale or next season, if there is one. (Regardless of how he turns out in the video game.)
I thought it was a good episode. Picked up on David being a creep early. Did not foresee the cannibalism. Some of the horror of the episode is in hindsight, like serving that girl’s dad to her to eat.
