I am trying to rack my brains if I have ever seen such a well done love story in the middle of a dystopian horror film/show.

The episode felt perfectly as part of the show but they way it showed love and devotion to those two men without the feel of treading water was amazing.

I havent played the game but from the aftershow I know Kathleen and Perry are new characters. I am curious to see if they can nail a human threat well especially seeing they would appear aligned with Joel as anti FEDRA but the set up is heading for Joel to support the FEDRA refugees(holdouts? Threats? - not clear on the status of Henry and his son yet).

Enjoyed the ep and how it shows Joel's and Ellie's relationship starting to thaw through lame jokes. The magazine bit was great stuff, especially the stuck pages joke. I didn't like how they shorted 15 minutes to make up for last week's ep running long. Another thing I don't like is the GOT style opening graphics.

same company did the GOT graphics as TLOU.

The original running length of Epi 3 was two hours.  It got cut back to the 1:20 running time -- would be super interested in seeing the original edit.

Kudos to HBO for giving the showrunners the space to let the story breath.

The start of episode 5 was harrowing, and I was getting the feeling it was very much an allusion to January 6.

Also, Melanie Lynskey was great in her 2 episodes. If you haven't seen it, absolutely watch "I Don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore" on Netflix.

They did a good job with Kansas City as well. The skyline shots were the actual city, with one or two big liberties taken, and the downtown vibe was pretty darn accurate. The route they suggested out of town is actually somewhat grounded in reality as well, though again with some liberties taken.

Epi 5 in KC was terrific.

 

Epi 6 in Jackson Hole was pretty darn good too.    Really looking forward to next week, which appears from the preview to be some more backstory we haven’t gotten yet.   Or maybe it’s new story.  Either way, it’s going to be good.

Next week will be backstory for Ellie and how she got bit in the first place. That's if they stick with the game's story.

      Cam Newton & Steve Smith Sr. break the silence after 10 years

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I think the ‘issue’ here is that we had two guys that clashed for several reasons. In some ways they were different, but in other ways they had a lot in common, and sadly they couldn’t see the forest for the trees. Sometimes when you have two people like that together they are either going to love or hate each other, and if it’s the latter, you need someone to mediate and hope the two individuals are capable of putting their differences aside for the common good. In this instance, they couldn’t find a way to move forwards together because I don’t think either guy wanted to play second fiddle to the other. This video basically said neither guy had the tools to bridge that gap and mend that fence, and perhaps also were unwilling to give an inch at that stage in their lives and careers. So a divorce, while unfortunate, was always likely. Do we win the Super Bowl with Smitty and Cam? Well, it’s one of life’s big what ifs for us Panthers fans.

      NHL Olympics Thread (Or just Olympics in general)

      By Stumpy · Posted

      Dude, I think I might be having Jarvy withdrawals... I ripped the sleeves off of all of my t-shirts in my sleep last night. Every bite of my Alpha-Bita cereal spelled Seth, this morning. And, I took 7 naps before lunch. I'm losing it guys! Jarvy's Jaunty Band of Jaggoffs are getting more play than he is... smh Team Canada doesn't treasure Jarvis the way he deserves. He should take his band down to Liechtenstein, get a bag of passports, and start his own Olympic team! The raw animal magnetism of Jarvilicious will bring in a handful of NHLers on its own. And, since the IOC believes in collective punishment, he could have his pick of the rookies. Then, just fill out the rest of the roster with the maple blooded great white northerners who couldn't make the top squad. Can't trust this assembled awesomery to just any old Liechtensteinien with a clipboard and a whistle. Gotta bring in a legend worthy of this gold medal gambit. A hockey HOFer with the balls to buck the system and the aura to match our maverick. Huere geil, Vaduz!!! 2030 Gold Medal guaranteed!

      NFLTR: Panthers Offseason:Team Needs, pending free agents, draft picks

      Tennessee isn't trading a QB on a 2nd round contract that has starting experience.  That's bad business.
