It’s great to me. Feels surreal watching for the simple fact that I’ve played the games so much. I’m fully into this. Can’t wait for episode 3


Don’t understand the complaints, but it’s the Coli so I get it. People like to hear themselves talk. The usual

I've played the game like 5 different times and I have no clue what happens that early to illicit such an episode.

Spoiler

It can't be Tess dying right? People really cared about that character?

Spoiler: Spoiler

It involves Bulls Town

Naw i still think bill will be an a$$hole

a$$hole but still an ally

turns out i prefer the stuff added to the show over the actual game lore. the cold opens have been excellent, and the outbreak stuff was good (if not redundant to a bunch of other things) but once it gets to the current timeline, i'm just, "oh, so it's gonna be this?" gamers going insane lead me to believe we're gonna get something fresh and exciting, so i'll just trust them.

I prefered the Station Eleven pilot also

The cold opens, for me as someone that played the games, has been incredible. The scientist conveying how there isn no cure no medicine and nothing anyone can do but bomb the entire city all because they couldn’t find 14 people is a PERFECT way to set up how you even get to this world as it is now

Great episode. Interesting take on infection method, smart deviation from the game there…

 

[levitate]

Kinda got a feeling next episode will be “ehhh…”

 

[kingofnyc]

had to watch episode 2 later on in the night on HBO Max - after the games
I have to admit this is one hell of a series … dope shyt
unfortunately that they put this out during the NFL playoffs because this should be the talk of the town




attempt to compete with the NFL playoffs - breh

Dude acting like he’s being forced to watch the shyt…

 

[levitate]

I found the “bomb everything” comment a bit…over the top.

Like, OK we just found out about this shyt can we explore other options first? Can we confer with other infectious disease experts in other countries? I get they wanted to emphasize the seriousness but it just came off as way over the top and unrealistic.

 

[kingofnyc]

yeah, I was surprised about that scene with Ellie joking about being a bougie customer about to be booked in your typical fancy hotel
if my memory is correct that scene came much later on in the game - when it was just her & Joel - Tess was long gone

 

[Neo. The Only. The One.]

Goddamn frog going to get everybody killed

It was creepy when the frog started hitting them horror movie notes on the piano.

how is it unrealistic if it’s based on something that’s never happened to humans? To me it was placing the stakes at as high as it could get and follows the first episode perfectly. The disease spread within that small Texas town and city for a few hours and before sunrise the military was stepping in, planes were crashing, and people were turning rapidly.
