Loved the episode. Bella and Isabela are so good together, but that was the most extreme U-Haul lol. The tv station and subway scenes were so tense. Glad them gave them an expanded budget for this season.
Ellie not knowing what pride flags were if/when we ever get in a apocalypse I'm teaching the children she may also just be a dumbass because she's also never heard of pregnancy tests
Who would have thought that telling someone you're pregnant with someone else's kid is such an aphrodisiac
I think it’s fair that she doesn’t know how they work lol. But yeah the Capitol Hill section got to me.
I know just wild how quickly things can be forgotten , Ellie's birth family and adoptive family also not really the teaching type
Really loved parts of this. But the pacing just felt off a bit. Feel like if they would have had Ellie and Dina hook up in the tent, it would’ve made a bit more sense to me. Just didn’t feel like it fit the moment whatsoever this episode.
I know I keep saying it week after week but the production design on this show is so fucking impressive, it literally feels like the game brought to life. Settings like the Seattle streets, the music shop and the theater literally look exactly the way they did in the game Definitely more of an action-oriented episode but I thought it was great, the subway scene was super tense and so was the scene in the radio station. Ellie/Dina stuff keeps really working for me too. I'm finding Dina so charming and actually starting to realize that her facial expressions and personality kind of remind me of my girlfriend so that's nice lol
But there was silica packets! Fixes everything! lol. The whole scene I was watching with my friend and telling her no way, the hardware on those guitars would be so rusted, the wood so warped. Then boom a guitar in a case. Then I was like even in the case after 20 years moisture probably got in then suddenly silica packets. Then I said “watch it’s just going to magically still be in tune” and nope cut to her tuning. So I said ok guess I can’t nitpick this show
I wonder if Ellie has only heard the Reel Big Fish third wave ska version of that song. This is a world where society stopped in 2003 so maybe.
When counting how many infected there are they edited two different takes where Dina counted them off with her fingers two different ways. It really took me out of the episode. 1/5. Get it together guys.
At first I was like “That dudes teeth and voice reminds me of Josh Peck, but he looks too mean spirited.” “oh that was Josh Peck.”
Another great episode. Bella really brought it in this one, and I can’t wait to hear dweebs say she isn’t good….
I think this episode was a little off for me with some weird decisions on where some of the plot points fell, and throughout the season there's now been this feeling of 'the infected only exist when it's plot convenient' and while I get why for practical and budget reasons, it makes the whole thing feel thin and devoid of any real tension until the show hammers home that it's 'danger time' and then all of a sudden it's not again. I am till enjoying it and a lot of what they have decided to do has been on point, but this episode just didn't quite gel for me. Sorry but the dual Ellie and Dina reveal straight into everything else just didn't work (for me, I see plenty of other opinions, but I was lost on why things had to happen that way).
completely agree, it's a little too similar to a video game at parts like at the tv station, oh look that's a stealth mission
See I'm loving this element of it. I never played the game and I really love that I can tell when certain parts are directly taken or shot like the video game, or at least can guess it. Like that scene definitely I was like "I bet you're sneaking aroudn in the video game trying not to get seen here", or the part where Ellie plays guitar, I'm guessing the way she was sitting with that hole in the wall in the background is a direct shot from the video game, or seemed like it could be at least, etc.
