Few one off episodes in any show have the heart or the ability to make you fall in love with characters in such a short amount of time. HBO made that happen! Well done Nick Offerman!

This episode is the most beautiful in the series. The tender and loving relationship depicted in this episode is a much needed reprieve from the violence and tragedy of the setting.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The writers managed to do something that I did not expect which is to make me cry only three episodes in. The storytelling here is incredible. To showcase a love story that embodies what the human experience might be in the apocalypse. There are quotes from this episode that I found so profound, that I wrote them down so I won’t forget them. I think the people who hate the LGBT community in the other reviews, didn’t play the videogame. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 90% of this episode was pointless filler. Everything but the first 5 mins and last 5 mins of the show could be deleted and the viewer would still have the same understanding of the main story line. The show deviated too far from the source material here. I have no issue with LGBT couples in movies or television but I didn't need an hour long episode to tell me the characters were gay to then kill them off (which is not the case in the game, bill plays a much larger role in the game) essentially wasting an hour of the viewers time for nothing. Bill and Frank should have been introduced as a couple and the show should have moved on in a direction that stayed closer to the source material. We understood Joel and Tess were a couple and didn't need an hour long show specifically focused on their relationship to make that conclusion. I feel that Bill played a much larger role in the game and was written out of the show just to tell an apocalyptic love story. Expand

Anyone saying otherwise is just a shameful homophobe. Seriously, this total score shames me, shames us, shames this community. Get with the times, homophobes. Would any of you downvote this episode if Frank were a woman? Sadly, it would be farther from the game (yes they're a gay couple in the game already, pay attention, read the side notes) and worse as a story, since part of the drama was Bill accepting himself at first. And guess what, relationships like this exist in the world. They might make you uncomfortable, but maybe it's time to get a little out of your comfort zone. The world doesn't revolves around you.

Desconectado com a história, se você simplesmente cortar toda a trama do Bill e Frank, não fará falta ao desenvolvimento.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The first 2 episode was great, but watching this episode I felt the writer got sidetracked.
I think this was an unnecessary change from the source material. They spent at least 30 minutes with showing us the relationship of Bill and Frank and in the end both of them died without meeting Ellie.Joel got the letter from Bill which changed his mind about Ellie. This was the whole reason to show us Bill and Frank's relationship. I think this is simply poor writing, especially because this is a mini-seried, so the format is not great for fillers.I think the episode could have been better with a better editing and and writing.

They were partners but not in that regard.
Dont see why we cant watch any shows without them pushing an agenda on us and assuming we're homophobic.
Great episode though liked how it was done and nice to see the town in a different layout.

This episode showed how to remain human in an inhuman world. I also tip my hat to the acting. Also, it tied the previous episodes together very nicely, showed how Joel and Tess' relationship with Bill and Frank developed and in the end it set Joel on the right path and gave him a purpose in life that he hasn't had for who knows how long.

Rings of Power sucked. The Last of Us episode 1.3 did NOT suck. The episode didn't change the canon a whole lot. It just changed the point of view focus. THEY WERE GAY IN THE GAME. THAT'S A FACT. The sad reality is that, unlike Rings of PowerRings of Power sucked. The Last of Us episode 1.3 did NOT suck. The episode didn't change the canon a whole lot. It just changed the point of view focus. THEY WERE GAY IN THE GAME. THAT'S A FACT. The sad reality is that, unlike Rings of Power which actually sucks, this episode was REALLY good, with the only thing noteworthy is that they two people focused on were gay. There wasn't even sex, so all these "gay porn" comments are so stupid. If you liked the movie 'Up,' this episode is basically the same thing as the first ten minutes.
It's just incredibly sad that 80 percent of the reviews here are 100% people angry about gay people and their relationship being the focus (despite, again, ZERO SEX). If you actually want a legitimate review, this is excellent television, and it's going to rightfully win awards.

One of my favorite things about the games is the incredible depth of the stories behind the characters - even those sometimes only mentioned in passing and left to the imagination. This episode of the series, Long Long Time, is such a gift to fans like me who played the games and who hoped that the show would open the doorway for more than just a re-telling of the game events. I could never have dreamed that the backstory of Bill and Frank would have so exceeded anything I could have hoped for. Although their relationship came to an end in a different way in the game, I’m impressed with the changes and am so grateful to have gotten to see such a gorgeous, gut wrenching, thoughtful, worthy telling of their story. What an incredible treat! Absolutely flawless, and perfectly in tune with all I’ve come to expect from the continuing legacy of The Last of Us. Perfection! Expand

A great backstory added to a character. They flushed out his history. I'm saddened he didn't get those quips with Ellie, but they expanded upon a great story. For those saying they changed Bill, they certainly didn't pay attention to the game.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Bill's role in the game is freaking awesome. It's a waste to kill him so prematurely. My taste asks for less sex stuff and more action, but ok. The last of us is not a regular zombie game, but a game with dense story about how far human relations are built in a pandemic world without politicial institutions, how far a survivor can go. Expand

It’s a beautiful and unique story for the genre. We have seen super soldiers main characters mow down zombies in a million different shows. A happy ending in a n apocalypse show? Now that’s one of a kind.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Garbage, no relevance to the game at all, completely pointless 1 hour gay romance/sex stuff, more patting on the back for themselves from the woke-obsessed creators, no idea how the hell anyone would enjoy this.

I don't want 1 hr gay romance in my episode of a TV show based off a **** zombie game. How absurd! I want Joel and Ellie doing what they do in the game. That's it. How hard is that to give us? Billy was way cooler in the game and the awesome sequence we saw there was completely missing from this. What a joke.

I feel as if it was good tv; but this isn't The Last of Us anymore?

Like the whole episode could be built around the relationship of these two characters, because other than a couple of moments where they showcase the survival & horror elements from the game is almost null when it comes to its lenght and depth.

The entire plot of the game in regards to these characters gets blown over, the violence isn't here either...

I was one of the people who understood that the violence in the game served a purpose (whether the creator's wanted it or not) it fit with the whole narrative of the post-apocalyptic world, and it helped in showcasing what character's needed to do to survive.

But here the violence seems completely neglected from the show, as if it came -like Mazin said-, out of a need of keeping the "violence that's necessary" something that I agree with, but such a logic that has also omited a number of elements from the experience that were part of the game.

This hardly could be called an adaptation, is more of a reimagining of the game, I guess if you've never played the game you'll be okay with most changes, given the lack of a frame of reference; but for me, this was a good episode that had little to no focus in the elements that I enjoyed from the game or its world.

I doubt most people flooding it with bad reviews are mad about the deviation from the source material (Bill & Frank being a couple exists in the games' canon, their relationship is just fleshed out more and the ending they get is better), it's just plain homophobia, which is disappointing, but at the end of the day I guess stories like this being told and being prominent is a victory (albeit a small one, all things considered) in and of itself.

Put your gay shows on there and separate straight and gay on separate channels and then they can choose to watch what they want and we can watch what we want and no one is forced to see what they don’t.
