Episode 3 of Last of Us: WTcrap?
They decided to burn 10% of the season on a backstory of a minor character and essentially spend no time moving the main story forward?

Also, this side story was a total tv/movie cliche

Everyone wanted to see the softer side of Ron Swanson. They finally got their wish.

Your post was also predictable. Everyone wins!

Unfortunately for the genre, every zombie/post apocalyptic movie is the same 5 tropes presented in different order.

If it's the part/character I think it is, it was annoying in the game too.

Disagree. It was the rare diversion from the collection of tropes that makeup zombie shows.

I kind of enjoyed that it added some character development (albeit they are now dead).

I have bad news for you for the rest of the show.
shimmy
Jan 30, 6:18pm
I know that’s how the rest of the show will be. Fine to break it up and have an episode without.
crazed
Jan 30, 6:19pm
It would have been fine if it hadn't been the majority of the episode.
YSMACK
Jan 30, 6:18pm
I agree it was a bit too long, but you’re probably not their target audience. The 95% on rotten tomatoes probably is.

It’s the lowest rated episode of the season on IMDB
Indy Coug
Jan 30, 6:23pm
The lowest of 3? On a website prone and notorious for review bombing?
shimmy
Jan 30, 6:24pm
Last I checked it was the highest. I checked last night before bed and haven’t since, so I guess it could’ve changed.

Just checked a few minutes ago. It's the lowest rated of the three.

I take it you hated or didn’t watch Station Eleven. Advancing the story every episode isn’t always the goal.
shimmy

I enjoyed the book, but have stalled out watching the show 3 times in ep 1 or 2.
YSMACK
Jan 30, 6:25pm
I meant game not book! My bad! My thumbs are on autopilot typing “the books were better.”
shimmy

My reference to a book was for Station Eleven.
YSMACK
Jan 30, 6:29pm
Yeah I followed. I confused things in my post.
shimmy
Jan 30, 6:31pm
I liked the show, but it’s not plot driven and people hate that at times.
shimmy
Jan 30, 6:26pm
Also a good point. Not only did it spend too much time on characters that don’t matter it also chose to rewrite them

P.S. That version of Frank & Bill is interesting & original.
YSMACK
Jan 30, 6:28pm
I don’t think Bill was a throwaway character, but I don’t think the story changes were great. Gay Zombie Notebook was

I enjoyed the episode, but definitely not as much as many likely did. I thought it still advanced the story

Extremely disappointing. Makes me worried for the rest of the season

Me: navigating the line between being disappointed in the episode and not being disappointed it was about a gay couple:

It’s okay, I walked the line. I don’t care they’re gay!

Super lame. The in game Bill story was a lot more entertaining. Totally changed

Jan 30, 6:21pm
Bill was gay in the game, and annoying about his partner.

Jan 30, 6:26pm
Was he? Don't remember that being a thing.

Yep (spoilers)

It's been awhile since I played it. Just read the wiki. I think the gay

They never spelled out their sex life.

Seemed pretty clear when I played it.

I'll trust your expertise in that area.

Video Games are one of my areas of interest.

Didn't the suicide note say that he hated him? Seems odd to me.
jacobugath

Yep.

I know it doesn’t fit the style, but a Bill montage would have been awesome

Watched the episode with my wife last night. That's a lot of bearded kissing.

I'm sorry if it offends you that I don't like watching men kiss.

Would it be "agenda" if it was a heterosexual couple?

It's agenda because the story told in the TV show is not in the game and has
