TV: The Last of Us (HBO)

[CupofOil]

Loved the first season but really not a fan of this episode, just too much focus on Ellie and her bratty behavior. The preview for the rest of the season looks promising through.

 

[John Price]

Ahh I thought this was coming out next week. I'll check it out after work.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Great episode. Bella Ramsey gets so much hate even though she’s killing it. The actress that plays Dina did a great job as well

Yep. It's been discussed here before but there's a lot of creepy dudes out there is basically what it boils down to.

 

[the valiant effort]

Ellie’s insubordination was too over the top to allow her to remain on patrol duty

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Don't like how they brought Abby in at all. Overall I liked the episode though. Actress playing Dina was great.

I forgot it started already, I just started a sub for paramount too lol, maybe Ill wait till next month and binge watch it once Paramount expires so I can grab Crave

 

[Dubi Doo]

I thought it was awesome. I'm stoked for the rest of the season. Fingers crossed it rocks.

 

[Stylizer1]

thud.

 

[Tasty Biscuits]

Fine establishing ep. Pascal and O'Hara scene was the high point.

Fine establishing ep. Pascal and O'Hara scene was the high point.

Great acting from both. Adding O'Hara to the cast was such a win.

The episode was OK.

I would have preferred they went with how the second game started instead. It's more emotional and impactful IMO.

Even just the first 5-10 minutes with Joel and Tommy. I'm finding it hard to have any connection to this Ellie character in the show.

I feel she’s missing something that makes her Ellie but can’t really put my finger on it. It’s kinda like when you have an actor who you feel is playing the character more than being the character. But I still think that will change later in the series.

Hopefully.

I also wasn't a huge fan of how they introduced Abby either.

But I'm sure my complaints are only because I loved the games and am more critical because of that I just feel they haven't explained enough to the average non game playing viewer. Maybe that will change with flashbacks or something.

 

[Mr Fahrenheit]

Didnt like that they started with the last scene from season 1, its an episode not a recap. Overall a good set up episode for the season, as mentioned Ellie's angst was a bit too much but if they are really trying to hammer down the wedge between them, whatever

Ellie’s insubordination was too over the top to allow her to remain on patrol duty

 

[ManwithNoIdentity]

Once the golf scene happens I’m done with the show

If I had any say in the show I’d switch around the actresses that play Abby and Ellie

Yep. It's been discussed here before but there's a lot of creepy dudes out there is basically what it boils down to.

So because people don’t like the actress that plays Ellie that makes them creepy?
