Another great episode. They are knocking it out of the park so far.

Murray Bartlett was superb as Frank and should be winning some awards during awards season.

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

Episode 3 was just a useless filler episode with 2 characters that provided nothing to the story but added a sex scene for whatever reason, I know it's HBO but this show would have been much better if it stuck to the father daughter bonding that the game had as it's main focus. Also these characters not even meeting joel/ellie and just leaving a note just seems lazy. Why build up the characters just for them to provide nothing in the end. You can skip 99% of this episode and miss absolutely nothing. Expand

I think, is interesting to know a little bit more about the side characters, and I don't find it particularly bad this Bill and Frank's story, but, it does not help anything about the main story and the character development. I think, the school and the presentation of the new type of infected, the internal jokes and the relationship built between Ellie and Joel during this part of the story, is way better that what was presented to us in HBO's adaptation. Nice story, does not work for the main story. We could not have it, and all would be the same. So, that is why is a 5. The story is so amazing by itself, that you don't have to change it to be a success... please HBO, leave your politics aside, this story is already progressive, you don't have to double down on it.

Queria ser muy objetivo con este pequeño review pero viendo como hay muchos 10 irresponsables creo un 0 es una buena forma de compensar

El capitulo empieza bien, vas viendo como bill se fue encerrando y es interesante ver como el pueblo de bill termino siendo lo que se ve en el juego, fue agradable ver a frank y humanizarlo después de leer la carta en el juego. Lamentablemente la historia toma un giro demasiado cerrado y va hacia otra dirección totalmente opuesta a lo que realmente es, cambia la personalidad de bill, las intenciones de bill y el pensamiento de bill, esto hace que se omita todo lo que en el juego se puede observar y convierte the last of us en una telenovela barata a lo telemundo. Se pierde la oportunidad de hacer un capítulo realmente memorable y sobre todo apegado a lo que es last of us. Espero sinceramente que eviten cambiar esto en el resto de la serie aunque por la manera en que los escritores se estan escudando me da la impresión que no sera asi.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Yeah, its a beautifull story and a good chapter, but it seems that Neil has forgotten what his own series is about, can we stop for a second to remember that frank commits suicide by hanging himself and bill lives in the middle of a town infested with cordyceps in the video game? They could have made a really epic and dramatic episode with the romance and desperation of both of them, but they have changed that to sex scenes with lots of facial hair, strawberries, delicious dishes and glasses of wine. It would have been a good episode if at the end bill woke up and it turned out that it was all a wet dream. Expand

Look I'm not a hater, Bill and Frank were a plenty cute couple AT FIRST, but it was so generic and 1 dimensional, and it just dragged on and on. In the game Bill loved Frank but they had issues, and Frank tried to leave Bill. Yet despite thatLook I'm not a hater, Bill and Frank were a plenty cute couple AT FIRST, but it was so generic and 1 dimensional, and it just dragged on and on. In the game Bill loved Frank but they had issues, and Frank tried to leave Bill. Yet despite that in the end Bill still loved him, and it made for a complex character you could genuinely feel for. Instead we got given a generic hallmark tearjerker with a sooooooo sad double suicide, game Bill was a SURVIVOR, which made him realistic. Plus we were deprived of the Joel/Ellie/Bill scenes which had some of the best dialogue in the game, and in game it set the tone for how dangerous the world is, raiders, bloaters, etc. Instead we see the least terrifying post-apocalyptic raiders I've ever seen, genuinely. World building, stage setting, action, tone, you know all that stuff that makes TLoU great was thrown out the window for a generic love story. People say it's better, so go watch the hallmark channel and leave HBO for the big boy dramas with complex characters. This episode also kills the pacing, which already slowed way down in episode 2. I dunno, episode 1 started off with a 10, episode 9 was a snoozer but ended strong, and then this episode just... oof. No incredible intro clip, world building cut for cheesy romance, no incredible joel/ellie/bill dialogue, limp raiders, just yuck. Why does Hollywood have to insist on injecting bad writing into scripts these days? Like was the purpose just to enrage people and drum up online dialogue? I'm wildly liberal, fully vaxxed, and bisexual before anyone wants to attack me for saying this, but I am TIRED of intentionally inflammatory dialogue being slapped on for no other reason than to "own" someone. All you do is push people away, if you wanted to convert someone to not hating gay people, then congratulations your dumb dialogue pushed them away. While I laughed at the pandemic line at first, thinking about it (which I had a lot of time to do during the cheesy hallmark romance), it struck me that all of the stuff they're doing has no audience. None of what is being done is ground breaking to me, sorry I watched and loved broke back mountain. Their writing this episode was just a self congratulatory pat on the crotch, we did it boys, we wrote the gayest cutest couple alive and owned those dirty others with our terrible dialogue, hahaha, we win! Which is what this episode is, it's a writer jerking himself off to a fantasy that is franky one dimensional. You want a complex romance you need an entire season to develop it, what we got here was a telenovella quality tear jerker. Meanwhile an actually complex gay character just got steamrolled for something that people might whip out the popcorn and controversy for.

So frustrating to watch anything out of Hollywood anymore, nothing original, and anything that was original gets bastardized to drum up clicks and drama and whatnot. Like oh no, a complex character! Quick! Make it simpler and easy to understand! Oh and add a sex scene! Ohhhh *hollywood exec rubs nipples furiously* and add a double suicide!!! I guess this is what happens though when Hollywood only makes content for the common clay, you know, morons.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This episode was mixed for my taste as someone who played the game. the story line with Bill and Frank were executed greatly and the cinematography was done beautifully explaining Bill's love life on what happened off-camera in the game from another perspective which was done right.

but I feel like Niel lost the ball on this one, I understand not everything isn't supposed to be like the game but lets be honest - the part where Frank walks from the house yelling at bill (3 years later) is where Frank should've walked away and Bill should've stayed true to the core about his survivalist instincts and let him walk *scene cuts* and then showed the part where Joel and Ellie shows up to bills town and the moment we've been waiting for: When it came to bill and ellie's interactions would've been amazing and hilarious since they both would argue in the game. From the games POV this is the part where you have to get a truck battery from a high-school on the other side of town and you fight off infected, clickers and finally meet the bloater in the highschool gym then after being chased in the alley way you stumble upon a house where you meet Frank hanging from the ceiling and you get the note about what Frank said:

(note from game)
" Well Bill,
I doubt you'd ever find this note cause you were too scared to ever make it to this part of town. But if for some reason you did, I want you to know I hated your guts. I grew tired of this **** town and of your set-in-your-ways attitude. I wanted more from life than this and you could never get that.

And that stupid battery you kept moaning about ---I got it. But I guess you were right. Trying to leave this town will kill me. Still better than spending another day with you."

Good Luck,
Frank


then after acquiring the battery you go to the truck, start it and you have to push start it while 20 or so clickers are chasing behind you including infected. I feel like they should've went this route instead of just focusing on the romance scenes. a nice balance between love and survival and also Bill never died - that's what I like about his character too in that game we never knew what properly happened to him and I thought the show would finally tell us but they didn't. I'm a bit disappointed in this episode and how they killed off Bill sadly but I feel like Bill would be fighting still in honor of Frank to get back at those bastards for infecting him but as to this episode overall I may have to say that it could've gone different here not fully execute a gay romance scene for 45+ minutes - it should've been perfectly balanced between the two...

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.

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.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Yes, it was different than the game. News flash, this is NOT the game. It's a TV show adaptation and it's truly amazing. This episode added so much heart, beauty, love, and tragedy to the world and it's all for the better. It was brilliantly acted and truly touching. Homophobic people are review bombing it only because of their ugly prejudice. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I came just to state that I absolutely loved this episode, regardless of the content of this episode or how much it changed from the game. I can't think of a single time an apocalyptic show has made me cry, until this episode. It hands down has cemented me to the show and will likely be the reason I keep my HBO subscription! Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If you can’t live this episode for what it does, there’s something wrong with you. The episode does a great job showing what is possible even in the worst of times. It shows an extreme contrast to the vile world Joel and Ellie are in. The letter at the end from Bill to Joel hits him hard because he’s already failed Tess, but now he has Ellie to protect. The review bombers are nothing but homophobic bigots that can’t recognize a great TV performance if it hit them in the a5$ Expand

The best episode so far. This is so emotive and meaningful for a zombie show, maybe this is the reason a lot of people dislikes it, but if you look through all the symbolisms and the philosophical perspective, uff is the best!

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. By far the best hour of tv I’ve seen in my life. Although it didn’t move the plot, it felt like a short look at two loving people’s lives, and although they died, they died happy. In our non zombie world, we could only be so lucky. Expand

You can absolutely tell where the homophobes and hate-sub have been.
This was an oscar winning episode, yet gay people existing triggers a very pathetic portion of Earth's population.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. WTF was this? Spending an entire episode on the life of two gay characters was boring and did nothing to advance the story line. Their relationship could have been explained in less than 10 minutes. That a whole episode was spent on them can only be explained as wokeism run amuck. If you need to miss one episode of this, otherwise, excellent series this is the one. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I felt that the whole story with bill and frank was really beautiful , although Im unsure about the decision of leaving out the whole Bill and Ellie interaction, witch I think was a really good section of the first game. Down the line, dedicating a whole episode to a love story between 2 character who don’t even interact with the main characters and main plot is probably going to be justified , but right now I don’t find it justifiable . Still great hour of Tv Expand

Some loser gamers are annoyed this episode of a TV show drew inspiration from a throwaway character in a FANTASY game. The story was well-executed and the acting was spectacular.

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

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. While not very thrilling, I enjoyed what they did with this chapter vs the game. Instead of an hour long run and gun through a town with only 15 mins of dialogue, they’ve managed to flesh out a once forgettable character into a feature length story. I would’ve enjoyed a little more tragedy but the “kill all your gays” trope died in 2013. Overall a great episode in a historic series. Expand
