This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. By itself, I think that the episode is great. My problem is that we spent an entire hour revolving around 2 characters who are introduced and both die in this episode. I think it is great to expand on Bill and Frank's backgrounds. I just don't understand why you dedicate an entire hour to them just to immediately kill them both off.… Expand

The people criticizing this out of homophobia or disguising their homophobia under the pretense that it "deviates too much from the game" are full of it.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As far as I’m concerned if you rated this episode less than a 8 you don’t have a good grasp of storytelling.

Not even going to point out all the disgusting homophobic comments since that’s a waste of time, but if anyone think it was a boring “filler” that didn’t drive the narrative forward they are wrong.

Not only does this episode give us a touching story, it show also us how people live and survive from a different perspective outside of Joel and Ellie, how Joel knew Bill and Frank, it introduced raiders to the show etc.

The biggest change is unlike the game Tess told Joel to take Ellie to Bill and Frank’s he was going to leave her there. In the game it’s just a whim decision to get a truck so when people say it doesn’t drive the narrative forward they’re wrong or look at things too much on a surface level.

However this episode packs a lot so normies won’t understand it.… Expand

It shows what the positive power of love could do to people, in contrast with what we saw mostly in most of the original game. Hats down to the excellent performance of Nick Offerman and Murray Bartlett who really give this episode life and make it convincing. It should earn them Emmys for the intricate and heartwrenching presentation in the piano and dinner scenes. Linda Ronstadt's Long Long Time perfectly fits the plot and theme of this episode, thank the show for helping me to discover this hidden gem. The scripts are just powerful and touching, some of the lines may become instant classics at Valentine's Day I guess.
Kindly feel sad for those who cannot appreciate real love in the world and choose to live with their hatred and bigotry. Maybe they just don't deserve it.… Expand

In the third episode we had the chance to see a very human story in the tough environment of a zombie apocalypse. This little space in the horror felt warm and helped picture all the types of stories happening in such a world. The way characters were depicted was tasteful and well-written, honestly, there is nothing I didn't like about it. And it is deeply saddening to see the difference between the previous episodes and this one. So many people justifying rejection for this specific episode in the most ridiculous ways after liking the others... I urge you to revise yourselves.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a amazing story of found love in a lost world. I've played the last of us one 4 times since it came out in 2013, and this version of Bill and Frank is infinitely better then the games version. In the game Joel dosent learn jack **** from Bill. Bill is a paranoid pice of **** in the game, however in the show he goes from that to a loving and caring man. That's the journey that Joel needs to go down, and that's the point of Bill. He shows Joel that he can love again, for Bill he loved his husband for Joel he needs to learn how to love Ellie and accept her as a new daughter. This episode is crucial to bring Joel down this path. Not to mention that we also get a terrific non tragic queer romance story. I've seen this episode 4 time's, and it hasn't even been a week. This will go down as one of the best episodes in TV history, all the hate it's getting is just from angry homophobic **** How else would episode one and two be rated so high, and this episode so low? The only difference is one episode heavily shows queerness in a positive light and the other two don't.… Expand
