not sure if season 3 is already a thing or not. For what i understand as someone who havent played the game but knew the story, im suprised in just ep 3 and we already reached to that moment and now Ellie is already in seattle.

Im loving it really

That big moment happens very early in Part II and Ellie takes off for Seattle almost immediately.

Two comments:

The action felt very flat in this one bordering on dull. Never any doubt that they would get out of the mess with little issue. It was super easy, barely an inconvenience at all

I appreciate Mazin doing the “what if humans were the real monsters” trope in the after show. That never gets old.

I mostly liked that episode. I'm excited about the flashback stuff as it looks like it'll be covering stuff only alluded to in the game.

No. She asks, “Is it mine?” which is a far superior joke and line.

Maybe. So many writers now are just completely inward looking. They can't write the conceptual or fantastical because they are drowning in the self, so they fall back to writing what they know which is their own joy, fear, hurt, and sometimes fetishes into their work which results in the tried and true tropes and with their own troubled psyche's spin on it. Therapy culture maybe? There do seem to be a lot of therapists in TV shows. I dunno. This show though is particularly vulnerable to it, to losing sight of this tale of humanity struggling with it's place in the lingering aftermath of the apocalypse and replacing it with a script writer's trauma dump.
