That was an unexpectedly amazing episode. I was very lukewarm on the show after the first 2 eps, but wow, that was very moving television. Sat with me for a long time.

Totally agree.EJ wrote:That was an unexpectedly amazing episode. I was very lukewarm on the show after the first 2 eps, but wow, that was very moving television. Sat with me for a long time.
Should be interesting if episode 4 reveals any surprises. The trailer for the episode looks like we are back to more basic paint by numbers storytelling but ya never know. I'm gonna hang in there.

Never Let Me Down Again from the first episode hits a lot harder now. Those lyrics are perfect for the moment.

I'm really impressed Nick Offerman and Murray Bartlett pulled that off together. It was a really touching, tender relationship they portrayed. They really walked a tightrope.

We watched the first meal/piano scene again last night. I adore how clumsy, awkward, and touching it is. You don't need an exposition dump to completely understand the characters and where they are in their lives in that moment. Beautifully done.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

The Last of Us Episode 3 Was Originally Much Longer
The HBO series creator explained the episode's director, Peter Hoar, worked with the show's editor and completed a two-hour cut of the episode. Mazin admitted that he cried during the showing of the original cut but still needed to trim it to its current runtime of one hour and twelve minutes.Sometimes I wanna drive around and find you

Re: HBO: The Last of Us
just finished it, it was ok. I mean it was fairly well done, but also very obvious and dare i say manipulative? but it was fine.
