I mean my take is totally rooted as someone who’s played the game and thought that the relationship story beats just hit stronger in the game at this point in the story having just arrived to Seattle.

I don't mind the slow burn personally. Feels deliberate, adds tension, plus for non gamers, it would feel rushed if they were already full steam ahead, regardless of the patrol sequence tweak suggestion. They'll flesh it out as the show goes on, depending on the direction they've chosen for the adaptation. We'll see

So episode 4 will be Ellie Day 1\. We’ll likely see Ellie and Dina get attacked by the WLF, which will lead to the subway sequence, and the episode will probably end with Dina’s pregnancy reveal

And episode 5 will likely be Day 2, and we will see Ellie fight the Seraphites for the first time. I honestly think it would be dope if they combined the Hillcrest and Seraphite sections from the game. So basically episode 5 would only focus on Seraphites instead of Wolves, and it would be like one long and intense sequence where Ellie is hiding and trying to survive a woods full of Seraphites. That s\*\*\* would be tense

Any lastest viewership news?

Episode 2 went down in viewership due to Easter / hockey and nba playoffs

Episode 3 went back up in viewership

Wait thats crazy... everyone was predicting a huge drop after joel's death (glen and twd) but in went back up??

Who knows. Lots of factors with episode 2 due to it being on Easter and playoffs going on

I'm just here for the plot

The Plot:

Who dis

Oh s***

that scene at the grave was terrible fam. Not even hating on Bella’s appearance but she’s not hitting the emotional notes I thought she should be considering the praise she is getting. Dina is carrying hard rn

More Tommy, Jesse and Dina will be great. Looking forward to the WLF intros as well. Seraphite drip is 🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶

What was wrong with her performance at the grave?

Also I thought Bella did great in the scene with Joel’s jacket

Tommys motivation in the show sucks

His family?

No lol

Well that's his motivation so

His motivation to go to seattle

The grave scene felt like it was a callback to that season 1 episode with the deaf/mute kid, specifically the ending. And I don't see what's exactly wrong with Bella's performance. I've never seen an actress get this microanalyzed before lol

Because we already have seen a a better performance in game

lmao some of you are never getting rid of the OG material bias
