      Pretty boring and meaningless episode. It wasn’t very engaging and hardly had any action. The backstory was far too long for characters that aren’t even really in the rest of the show and there was hardly any progression in the main story. Nothing of value was added and the rest of the show would function just fine without this episodes addition

      I'm not so sure about that. I thought Bill in the game showed Joel how NOT to be and what pushing away people can do to you. It taught Joel that trying to stay isolated and not letting people close to you will cause you to live a sad lonely life (you can tell how Bill affected Joel by how he acted towards Ellie RIGHT after they left Bill's). The Bill in the show technically taught the same lesson, but in the opposite way (and came right out and said it in the letter) 🤷🏽‍♂

      @@GOBIAS.INDUSTRIES. I can see that. The reason behind my interpretation is because the Bill said the caring about people will only get you killed. This is reflected in the chapter with Henry and Sam. With Sam getting infected and needing to be killed, Henry dies too. First he dies figuratively from having to kill Sam, and literally when he takes his own life.

      It reminded me of the question she asked Joel last episode. How if it was difficult to kill them knowing they used to be people.
      The reason for her cutting it first to see that it was just a shell of a person, stuffed to the brim with the cordycept fungus. That gave her the mindset that, no they aren't people at all anymore. And yea sure it was probably cathartic to get a semblance of revenge for what we know is insinuated happened to Riley.

    i always thought it was heavily implied in the game that bill and frank were lovers, what with the way bill was a bit hesitant when he said "we were partners" and his reaction when seeing frank's corpse. i assumed they ended in really bad terms which would explain why frank was so bitter in his Unalive note. the way the show changed that was really good imo and i enjoyed how their story played out even though it was sad at the end!

      No implication, really. They absolutely were lovers. Bill was hesitant, yes, because the game came out in 2013.

    I know this episode has been disappointing for some, but I do think it’s going to serve a very key purpose in the show’s themes. The focus of this show is on love, whether romantic or familial or otherwise. But also on its dangers. Anyone familiar with the game and its ending will also be familiar with that aspect.
    What we’re seeing here is a bit of a micro version of that overarching theme.Bill being initially reticent to Frank but eventually opening himself up, being more self-sacrificial. He turns his grief at the prospect of losing Frank onto himself at the end, so they can die together. No one else is hurt by it, ultimately, but we all know that isn’t going to be the case for everyone overcome by the joy and pain of connection with another human being.

We've got a job to do and god help any motherf**ker who stands in our way." Bill's love for Frank did make him dangerous to anyone other than Frank. His purpose was to protect Frank and allow him a safe life in a dangerous world. The viewers have already seen a glimpse of what Joel's capable of, with his bare hands, when he has someone to protect. What lengths are he willing to go to when he lets a person into his heart?

    I liked the episode. Series’s need episodes for exposition, to give the viewer time to develop attachments to characters or to develop an opinion on another character based on the history told. This really told the story of Joel and how he will develop the love of a daughter in Ellie only to lose her before he is ready to let her grow as she grows up. Bill being shut off from caring for anyone else, just like Joel. But then had Frank come into his life and made him realize he could love. The biggest issue is the modern trend for the episodes being so expensive that they only do 10 or less episodes. You don’t have enough time to tell your story with enough exposition to develop feelings about the characters. That is the problem that Disney is having with live action Star Wars series. Not enough time for anyone to start to care about anyone, other than a cute little alien.

Marlene and Tess were both phenomenal. I looked forward to the bantering between Elle and Bill. I am in no way disappointed by the story rewrite. I cried and I bet I wasn't alone. Seeing Bill as this fully fleshed out character was evocative. Seeing Frank as someone other then a user was redeeming. This is academy award writing and acting.

Sure, everyone should be able to love whomever they choose...to each their own. But promoting it to normalize it in the minds of young people is disgusting. The majority of people don't like having queer love/sex shoved down their throats & most heterosexual couples hate Hollywood's continuous attempts at indoctrinating their children into what they view as woke perversions. Do what you like in your own life, but don't expect others to support what’s unnatural to them, especially when it comes to trannies. Many of the men parading around as women are pedos, some of which are registered sex offenders. Ultimately, the LGBTQ+ agenda is being used to normalize pedophilia.
