This. The show would be nothing but them fighting and running from clickers for 9 episodes. It’s nice we actually getting fleshed out characters with background from the game. Episode was great and if you still crying about gay shyt on TV grow up or get out the closetI truly wonder how Mazin will tell Part 2's story for the 2nd and 3rd season. The game relies heavily on flashbacks and a very specific way of handling points of view...
Some of y'all are more paranoid than Bill with this shytthey told a great story about a couple that found love in a really fukked up apocalyptic world. "Love" is the whole point of the video game, not shooting and surviving zombies so I'm fine with the change.
If they followed the game's script we would be 3 episode in with each one having a miserable story to tell, full of broken people that are very unlikable.
For people that know the whole story they can have all the patience in the world because they know what's coming but for TV-only watches it's a hard task to ask them to keep watching if every week is gonna be a new fukked up story. Like I said in another post, there's no need to make the TV show a misery fest (we already have enough with what Joel has been through) so having a "happy moment" and give Bill and Frank closure made more sense than going with the video game script, imo
kept telling my girl i didn't remember this part of the game 
great episode tho the cynic in me kept thinking aint no way that cac was gone get duck a shower and wine anywhere else in the world..he straight played that fakkit tellin him go upstairs
some wrong with ellie appearance aside this version definitely on the spectrum

Spectrum? Lady Mormont been cooking and has gotten better every episodeim starting to question how they're rating the show so high. ellie in the game is so much better than this spectrum version of ellie we got. ashley johnson put sauce on them lines
Ashley was great too but both portrayals have been good
Frank was in the game. He hung himself once he got bit, Bill cut him down and told Joel he was his partner and started tearing up.

I should clarify and say that I still would not have cared about a straight couple getting their story fleshed out over an entire episode either...
Well acted, but I'm capitivated by romance in a post apocolyptic show where there's hella unanswered questions about shyt that develops the story. I just thought they couldn't wrapped this up much quicker, but of course critics will eat that shyt up so the writers have to play that game to keep drawing ppl in that aren't just interested in zombies and mayhem.
Would've been more interesting to see the families getting rounded up and lied to by FEDRA, or more about that Indonesian scientist, etc.
Obviously going to keep watching, but I couldn't have skipped that episode and not missed anything besides Joel & Ellie getting a car battery lol

Bella has the same emotion/cadence as Ellie from the game to me. She just doesn't visually look like her in the face, which is fine.im starting to question how they're rating the show so high. ellie in the game is so much better than this spectrum version of ellie we got. ashley johnson put sauce on them lines
This episode was fantastic. We'll have plenty of time for Ellie to be a hard-headed ass little girl. This was a MUCH better exploration of Bill, Frank, what life was like during the onset of the outbreak and what some people did to survive.
I disagree. Those are all macro level stories. Stories about how society itself was reacting to the outbreak. This gave us a look into the small scale, on how someone COULD survive on their own for decades in this environment. Not only that but thrive and live a relatively "normal" life where they argue, have dinner parties and grow old. I personally thought it was fantastic.
Humans adjust, they do what they have to to stay sane. That's one of the other overarching themes of TLOU. Especially Joel's story.
But the thing is NOW we don't have to drag a story along, its finished and we move on. Through this you not only get more insight on the world, but you get to know more about Joel/Tess' relationship, how Joel knows the road so well, who some of his connects were, how the exchange of goods/information worked. And it introduces the concept of Raiders to the world, and the fact that other humans are just as much a threat as infected. It was very well done.
The rest of the show about to hit the fukking TURBO button though. Just wait till....

"Winter"
Yeah I’m expecting true to form depression once winter hits
Ellie will have too many fans after that if they keep close to the source material
Kinda disappointed we didnt get the high school part included here, but I still like the way they handled Bill. I actually liked him more in this version than in the game.
When they got in the pickup truck, I was like "fukk man...." because I knew shyt was gonna go south there. Surprisingly they showed the hunter ambush in the trailer for next week. Looks like they use spike strips instead of a bus to crash the car.
