If the emotional punch explaining Ellie's bite, her hard exterior and her terror at getting close to and losing people is seen as "filler" that "doesn't move the show forward", then maybe character dramas placed in a horror setting aren't your thing.

Hell, I was worried that the Left Behind DLC was going to be its own episode in a show where there wouldn't be enough episodes to properly cover the back half of the game, but they tied it into Jackson perfectly. Hit the emotional "I'm not her" scene and concluded the Tommy party properly, even hit the University well enough for what you needed it to be (less gruesome than the game but still well done). 

Now we get the two darkest moments in the story in back to back episodes and there's plenty of leg room to stretch those moments out well. This couldn't have gone better.

That was damn near a 1:1 with the game and I like that. This was a peak moment of the game that they had to get right and they absolutely nailed it. Subtle changes that make sense, the core and heart of the moments being the same.

This is how you adapt media btw. Every show adaptation of comics and video games need to take note. Doesn't hurt that Druckmann is directly involved in the show.

It's over. Good show for the most part which is surprising since it stuck closely to the game in a lot of places. This show was the rare game to TV/Film that worked out.

I’m gutted that it’s over for now but Succession should have an amazing last season here in the next couple weeks.

      Any well functioning team benches Bryce

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      I’m an optimist thru and thru. I love any win this team can muster, and Bryce did what he could to keep the team in it, but he’s why the team was out of it to begin with.  I like the guy, but he is not… he’s just not it… and I was swayed by the way he finished last season, but his physical limitations will never be overcome. A one arm tackle stopped him in his tracks en route for 6, among several other plays where an even average starter in the league succeeds.  A franchise QB is supposed to be his own cheat code. Bryce needs a cheat code dude, that is not him, to win. Chuba CARRIED (literally) his ass last season. Thielen bailed him out EVERY game he played in last season. Today: Rico turned in one of the best games in franchise history, Tet was unguardable and put up at least 100 yards on his own (PI yards included),  and the defense basically pitched a shutout after going down big so they could beat one of the worst teams in the NFL.

      Dennis Cox and Chris Lea on performance today

      Rico 10000% saved Bryce Young from being benched for the Dallas game.  The way that game was going there was going to be no way to trot Bryce out next week at home if it kept going like it did.  Bryce probably is safe from bench risk until the next home and home presents itself.    He can’t be playing bad going into that next Atl game and then lay an egg in it.
