This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Bella Ramsay mostly carries this episode, while the environment shines as a character again. The postapocalyptic, the way it is moving by in the road-adventure scenes, is often powerfully evoking stories of what went on before. The train partly fallen on the destroyed bridge, overturned ships in the river, a truck wedged into the mouth of a tunnel. Looking for shelter and the odd coziness of staying in abandoned places. They get the mood right, the world as it is depicted rarely appears implausible.

When Ellie earns carrying the gun she took from Bill and Frank's it makes sense, a moment in her growing relationship with Joel that is, in the harsh context of this world of survivors, believable. A strong cliffhanger with the powerful presence of Henry and Sam as they are introduced. There are some weaker scenes and performances aside from the protagonists', but overall, my complaints are few. Thankful for the slow pacing that allows the character and story development room. Once more, really looking forward to the next episode.… Expand

Another great episode of this surly award winning show. I'm amazed how many of the scenes seem just how I remember them.

Back to what this series should be about. Bravo. After the last episode I’m glad we got more than 15 minutes to explore the Ellie/Joel dynamic.

Not so good episode as 1-2 but definitely deserves attention. Its not good enough for recovering after 3rd episode, authority of whole series was damaged heavily.

It's been pretty solid, but after a contemplative, slow episode last week, we were expecting a lift in pace. But we have yet another slow episode.

I wish it would have been longer. :( Waiting until next week is going to be long. Good episode, but it felt waaay too much like a "part one" of a two-part episode. :

Despite some early action, the episode features a lot of talking and tends to drag. Call this 'character building', but still, on entertainment value and keeping me hooked it loses more momentum after last week's debacle. We get introduced toDespite some early action, the episode features a lot of talking and tends to drag. Call this 'character building', but still, on entertainment value and keeping me hooked it loses more momentum after last week's debacle. We get introduced to a new girl-boss in charge of a local resistance movement, played by the annoying girl from 2 & A Half Men. The most interesting parts are foreshadowing and a cliffhanger. If you didnt watch this weeks, better to hold off and watch it back to back with next's.

It wasn't a bad episode, it was good, just a transition episode that doesn't catch the high water mark of the first two episodes.… Expand

Of course, the usual characters are still attacking this series even though none of the stuff they hate is in this one. Sad to see the homophobes are still going, even though that episode is done and over with. Can you people get a life? .
For NON-incel losers, however and especially fans of the game, you will see very much what is in the game, including one scene that is literally verbatim (and incidentally, it's one of my favorite in the game; the "How does he walk with that thing" scene). This episode is pure gold. There is some excitement, a bit of terror and anxiety, and nicely paced evolution of Joel and Ellie's relationship. In fact they did the latter EXTREMELY well, and frankly, it drew me in even more to both characters. Another tidbit for gamers: the voice actor who plays Tommy has a few lines (he's the grizzled guy with Kathlene). .
Overall, this is a freaking 10. Character development is among the best you're going to see in cinema. It's peak television, and you're missing out if you aren't watching this.… Expand

Really loves this episode. The relationship between Elli and Joel displayed very well. I only wish it was a brighter. Sometimes it’s hard to see when they film in darkness.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Probably the second best episode of the series so far (behind the series premiere). Nice to get some Joel and Ellie bonding time. The end of the episode when Ellie finally gets Joel to laugh is probably my favorite scene in the series so far. Was great to see Joel get some action in and to see Ellie show some emotion after shooting the dude to save Joel. Pretty much the only part of the episode I did not think was good/great was the actress playing Kathleen. She sounds wooden when giving her lines and it is really distracting. Also, it sucked that the episode was only 45 minutes. Overall, great episode.… Expand

It is much better when a Episode is 45 Min's long and not over a hour. Short and sweet. Now keep it up and don't f*** it up with Garbage like last Week again... But somehow i have a bad feeling.
