I have no idea what Andy Greenwald is talking about with his criticism of episode 4 in the latest episode of The Watch and I don’t think Chris Ryan does either. Categorically opposing a style of metaphorical storytelling is the opposite of critical thinking.

General question:

We’re about halfway thru the latest episode. So far there’s only really been one big fight with the fungus zombies. Does the game move away from them being the bad guys humanity is fighting like this seems to be doing? Does it move towards different factions of people fighting each other?

Yes any yes. There's a healthy dose of old fashioned zombie fighting throughout but the sequel is more about human adversaries.

Non-gamer here but it feels like they followed that woman that Jeffrey Wright meets before blowing up the Fedra APC

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

Good episode but the lighter tone they’ve been using with the earlier Ellie and Dina scenes makes Ellie’s monster turn at the end slightly more jarring.

Imagine if tonight had been your first exposure to the Scars. :?

Also, you cannot give PJ fans blue balls with only a partial version of Present Tense.
