Yea first episode was the best so far...the second was aiiiight...and the last two were pretty mid.

I liked last night’s ep a lot…probably my second favorite behind the first

I think that’s the point.

Ellie, Kathleen, the black kid drawing superheroes shouldn’t be in these positions.

Joel killed that kid no problem but still tried to hide it from Ellie. Kathleen didn’t want to deal with the Doctor or that floor situation only until here emotions forced her

The way I see it, the problem isn't about the character but how the actress is portraying her. You don't get the sense she could be leading a whole town that revolted against FEDRA and it's armed to the gills. Unless we get an explanation that she is a fish our of water put in that position for whatever circumstances, she's gonna stick out like a sore thumb

I’ll give this Kathleen chick a little slack. She definitely seems too soft spoken to be in charge but to pop that old man the way she did shows she has some type of edge to her.

And lmao@someone asking how she still fat this far into the apocalypse. Reminds me of Hugo on Lost. I remember some character saying to him “hey fat boy where you hiding the carbs?’

My least favorite episode yet, was kinda dry to be honest.

When the car crashed I really wanted Joel to black out on nikkaz like he did in the game , instead all I got was one head shot and another offscreen kill. I know drukkman said he would back out on the gore but come man …

Next we got Roseanne leading a group of men by her emotions. TERRIBLE character. She just didn’t fit here in my opinion. Somebody said it earlier but this felt very walking dead….

7/10

tbh, Roseanne would be more believeable At least she has some attitude and presence, a personality with some gravity...this other bish just seemed like a substitute history teacher

Hugo remark - I can picture Sawyer saying some shyt like that in his a$$hole stage

Speaking of Lost, I think Kathleen fits teh Ben/Juliet type leader. They seemed nice as hell, but would kill you. Throw Gus from BCS/BB in there too, he seemed nice as hell.

IMO, 20 years in..I feel like even a grandma or a child would have bodies on them.

OT, but is your screen name from the Johnny Quest character?

This week ep was waaaaaaay better than last week. I was fully engaged the whole time. Love seeing the Joel and Ellie relationship slowly grow

 

[Tunez]

Same thing I said when I first smelled and tasted coffee, never tried it again



I remember the car crash scene

But how is she leading a group of militants? What's stopping someone that is much more capable physically/militarily/mentally from just snuffing her and taking control? It's not like the actual military where if someone took out there commanding officer and took command of the troops would have to deal with the rest of the overall military. I'm hoping the 'how' of her rise to power is properly explained, b/c just accepting it on a surface level is pretty ridiculous.

 

[HiiiPower]

That’s really the chick that kept breaking into Charlie Harper’s beach house and escaping over the balcony

She’s also the first person Iv seen in this show who’s acting had me a lil

 

[Lootpack]

If y'all don't put some respect on Melanie Lynskeys name

She be killing it on Yellowjackets but I’d be lying to myself if I said she wasn’t the first person to come to mind after hearing the name “Karen”.
