      Haha - my girlfriend of 8 years and I did the exact same thing. It was a beautiful story and incredibly emotional. A story that everyone who's every truly loved someone can understand. You could really feel the tension and the heartbreak of the 2 characters - especially when you've been in a relationship that's had similar ups and downs. One of the best TV episodes I've ever seen.

      That was amazing art. Everyone was at their best from production design to the writers and of course the acting. I mean think about the scene with the strawberry, they had perfect sunset lighting.... do you know how hard/how small of a window you have to film that type of stuff? They went full throttle on every level of production, we're still in the hangover kinda phase but I think we can see the argument of that being one of the best hours on TV.

    "I was never afraid until you showed up"
    This is how adaptation should be, it should improve it not just copy paste the entire thing. Love that Bill went from someone who loved that end of the world and being alone for years but met Frank and learned that's not how to live. It's a great parallel to Joel who even after reading his letter to him tried to close himself even from Ellie.
    Sad that some people are already hating this episode because gay characters exist. I'm not surprised, though. The Last of Us is more about realising that human connection is all we crave for even in the Apocalypse. From Ellie to Joel, and Bill to Frank. JUST GIVE THE SHOW AN EMMY ALREADY!!

      This episode has been my favorite so far (probably the most affecting of television I’ve ever watched), and while some of the hate stems from homophobia I think a larger faction is just upset that they chose to spend so much time on characters they believed “don’t contribute much to the story”. They’ve taken things at a very surface level and likely don’t see how the episode echos the themes of the entire game through and through, despite barley focusing on Joel and Ellie

    • @chazharris
      @chazharris Рік тому +31

      @@WyattWintersYes! *SPOILER WARNING* It was the thematically strongest episode - after two episodes that showed us what there was to lose, the story of Bill and Frank showed us what there is to live for and ultimately served as motivation for Joel to shift his mission/purpose to protect Tess into protecting Ellie. "You were my purpose" speaks directly to Joel's arc and change at the end of the episode as a result of Bill and Frank's letter. It really is masterfully interwoven.

      @sonofsin73 No it did something more important than making the story go go go. This episode was about character and world building. It gave even more depth to Joel's character (protective instincts, motivations, difficulty in becoming attached, etc). A hard ass like Bill told the *love of his life* to call Joel for help. And most importantly, it lets the viewer know that finding happiness is still possible despite the whole cordyceps apocalypse thing. There's still hope for humanity. Otherwise, why would Joel bother carting Ellie across the country?

Bill, as hardened and planned as he may be, was just as volnerable to love as anyone. The intricasies of Bill and Franks personalities were well laid out: artists, strategist, lover, fighter, strength, weakness. Rather than focussing on their decayed bodies, the wind blows through the window, gently fluttering the curtains, giving an air of hope and newness.

The humanity, the character development of Bill and Frank and how they were able to lean on each other and fought for each other until the very end was so sweet and beautiful. I'm really liking how the writers are differentiating from the game and giving more development to the characters in the show.

The acting and flow of the story were superb. Like so many others, I was crying my eyes out several times in that hour.

    Episode 3 was full of emotions, never played the game so didn’t know the story before. While there were so many powerful moment to me the biggest punch was the letter, when Ellie arrives at the point where Tess was mentioned and stops… it was a double punch, 1 for Bill’s acknowledgment of Joel and second gives even more weight to Tess sacrifice.
    Also the last shot when we see through the window but never get to see inside the bedroom, in story that has violence death and gore being deprived of the view of their final moment gives such a feeling of intimacy, honestly writing and directing for the series are just incredible!

And when you see that shift it hurts almost as much as all the other unbearably sad things that happened.
