This episode qualifies as a family drama, nothing to do with the chapter of the video game where in addition to the drama there was 300% more action, chilling scenes, decisions and unexpected events. Nothing to do with this HBO series.

In the end, I think this series gets good marks from all the faithful players of the video game, but not because of what we are seeing week after week.… Expand

Un gran episodio donde vemos el lado más humano de Joel, para mí el tercer mejor episodio de la serie por el momento.

Ещё один отличный эпизод, без всякого (почти) экшена, полностью сфокусированный на диалогах, и экшене в них.

В культовой сцене диалога с ДжоэломЕщё один отличный эпизод, без всякого (почти) экшена, полностью сфокусированный на диалогах, и экшене в них. Однако именно здесь в единственный раз за весь сериал мне показалась неубедительной Белла Рамзи. В культовой сцене диалога с Джоэлом её натянутость, отталкивание Джоэла руками и скоропостижная речь была похожей на переигрывание или что-то, что сложно сформулировать. Пересматривал сцену несколько раз и всё так же кривил мину. Не знаю, наверно это только у меня так. А вот откровения со стороны Джоэла Томми были чрезвычайно пронзительными. Его демонстрация слабости и сомнений здесь выполнены блестяще, что играет на руку общей приземленности сериала.… Expand

I wanted to rate this higher, but "bunny hunting" and "hanging high-five" were two pieces of fan services I was desperately hoping they'd include.

I felt pacing was a bit odd this episode, and would have been happy to spend more time with Marlon and Florence, but the show is an outstanding adaptation. (Still time for bunny hunting I s'pose)… Expand

Awesome episode. One of the best so far. Sadly it won't get a higher score due to some trolls in this website.

Joel and Ellie..that subtle connection through conversation I thought they could only show via the game shines as the journey continues..though it would have been nice to have some questions answered in more detail and certain scenarios less rushed it’s these moments (to me) that are much more important to the heart of the story and with performances close to rival the game show why Bella and Pedro where chosen to lead the series.… Expand

This episode was a calm breath of air amongst all the chaos going on in the show.

There were some cheesy moments but I think that's what describes the character arc of Ellie.
And talking of character arcs, Joel's character arc deviates to some extent in this episode and I will say, I kinda liked it. It shows the vulnerable side of the strong and fearless Joel. It shows that he too is just a human being who has lost too much.
This episode solely focus on the relationships and the bondings between Joel and Ellie and that between Joel and Tommy.
Though Tommy's character could be given a bit more depth, but it's alright.
There were also some moments, which were not explained but given that they were not significant either, I'll allow it.
And last but not the least, the ending may be a shocking moment for first time watchers, but for those who have played the game, the ending is underwhelming and doesn't make much sense.
So, overall, this episode was a calm and dramatic one. Don't expect too much action from this one. But the ending shows us a glimpse of what's to come and believe me, it's gonna be chaotic. A lot more than you think.… Expand
