WINTER should’ve been 3 episodes. I wanted to see Ellie and David against the runners, clickers and bloater. I wanted to see Joel murk all them cannibals while the church bell rang in the background. I wanted to see Ellie go Rambo on them at the resort.

Joel fully attached to Ellie now after nursing him back to health. Calling her “baby girl”

:mjcry:

hmm this makes sense especially given the cult-like following he had
David was a teacher before the apocalypse. He was definitely molesting/raping some of the girls that he taught :francis:


So we ain’t seen Ashley Johnson yet. Wonder if she’s getting a good role or not
She will be in the finale in a flashback as Ellie's mom

I don’t doubt that but I found it interesting how ppl were listening to anything he had to say…the other men in particular

Show is dope. If they were wailing on zombies all day like in the game they wouldn’t feel like a threat anymore. They would become mundane and boring…like in Walking Dead.
I like the show and I understand your point but they could have struck a balance. They could have included more infected without it becoming "mundane and boring".

I know that they are leaning into the drama/emotional side for this show (I've talked about this before in this thread) and I'm fine with that but they still could have included more infected.


I know that some people will say "Well, that's unrealistic" but the entire premise of the show is unrealistic and it's literally based off of a video game. Also, what Joel did in episode 8 was highly unrealistic (and I love episode 8). Joel basically turned into the Hulk after 2 doses of penicillin :mjlol:



Joel would still be out of commission for a while even after receiving the penicillin (also, Ellie didn't administer the penicillin properly). Joel is also lucky that he isn't allergic to penicillin either :lolbron:

Fair point. I think that Druckmans attempts at brow beating his audience about violence while also making a game where you can pop pills to get more violent head shots have been….confusing, but I still credit him with including Joel’s brutality in this season.

the real test will be if they’re willing to make Ellie a selfish murderous shyt head like they did in the game.

The zombies thing might also be budget, but, yeah, I would have liked to see Ellie and David take on a bloater.
