Hopefully his Mom isn't the vengeful type.


Wait.
Shit.

Wait.
Shit.

I’m not sure she’s his mother - credits list the man crying over his body as “Bryan’s father” or something. This isn’t taken from the game (Henry and Sam, and the pleading to not be killed stuff is) so I dunno

What’s going on guys? This show is bang average. Why all the hype and discourse?

 

[pete]

It’s amazing.

 

[GARYXKNIFEDX]

We're bought in!
The relationships, the clickers, the Dad jokes!

I totally get where Dave is coming from on this being average, but I am still enjoying it a lot.

Starting to think the best way to watch this is like a western. Like it's got nothing essentially to do with zombies etc. (we just had like 1 1/2 episodes without any.
It's people in a survival story. Like I dunno, Josie Wales or something. What makes us tick.
Anyways, this is well made TV

Spoiler: takes

I liked Henry peeking above the door light glass and the red band reflected across his eyes. they're a duo, he's the hero.


And I liked Kathleen's speech about forgiveness, and "what is the point of that?" Totally telling on herself. And then it gets answered in the end. She forsakes forgiveness for vengeance and it gets her and everyone else killed/heads ripped off. Forgiveness stops the cycle. her brother protected her as a kid, and he was trying to protect her again. And she couldn't listen.

Other thing was Joel saying it's easier on kids cos they have no one relying on them.
Then the deaf kid goes and gets himself bit and the effect it has on Ellie for that final scene. oh man.
First time she looks truly enervated that I can remember. No sass, no smart mouth. Just let's get going. She had someone rely on her, and she tried to fix him and now he's dead. Welcome to Joeltown, kid.

Hahaaaa yes indeed.

I think the original Joel voice actor is one of the lads from the university there at the end. Also, the original Ellie voice actor plays Ellie’s mother.
