Such a ridiculously strong episode.
Would counter that by saying that just because people didn’t enjoy an episode with gay themes it doesn't make them homophobic. It just dragged on too long. Replace Riley with the great man Jaden Smith and the episode still would’ve been the same. (Content ok but went too long and a little underwhelming as a full episode)
That'd be all well and good, except that the first thing you said after the episode was "I fast forwarded the kissing scenes" (which I absolutely have no idea how you do that anyway - are you sitting there with remote in hand waiting for any and all kissing scenes to skip the whole 1 extra second it takes to get past that moment? The Ellie and Riley kiss, is what, 3 seconds max? And you somehow took the time to pick up a remote, and fast forward it?! Even if you're on mobile or some other medium it'd take more effort to skip than just sitting there for a literal second).
In 2023 on touch screen devices one doesn’t use a remote control. When you are back from the 1990s let me know.
No but I assume you still have to pick it up, swipe to unlock then tap or drag to fast forward. So I think his point about the time required vs the kissing time on screen remains valid.
Sorry but just not romantic at all. And it takes less than a second to touch the screen and hit the +15.No but I assume you still have to pick it up, swipe to unlock then tap or drag to fast forward. So I think his point about the time required vs the kissing time on screen remains valid.
Fast forwarding a kissing scene whatever the orientation of the characters doing it is pretty weird mate, own it
How do you go at the movies? Scour in-depth scene by scene write-ups and avoid entire movies as necessary? Cover your eyes if a bit of pashing sneaks in under your radar?
seems like a perfect time to check the scores of whatever sport is on.How do you go at the movies? Scour in-depth scene by scene write-ups and avoid entire movies as necessary? Cover your eyes if a bit of pashing sneaks in under your radar?
Yep. Said in the other thread Bella Ramsey is gonna get an Emmy.
Its the most faithful adaption I've ever seen. Whole scenes and dialogue lifted word for word from the game in pretty much every episode (which to be fair is easier to do when the game is quality it is I suppose).
Ha yeah same, I was like **** off Sony how many times do you want me to play it. But have found myself watching some game cutscenes on YouTube after some eps of the show, reckon I might play it again in the near future.
Just wanna touch back on my earlier post and see how many people are now well and truly on board with Bella as Ellie?
100%
Glad to hear it, they absolutely kill it. Just the raw emotion they're able to portray carries/elevates a lot of scenes.
Welp, it's all over.
Definitely felt a touch short, this ep, coming in at only 45 mins. Could've probably given a bit longer to some more moments. The ones we got were damn good, the expansion of why Ellie is immune, the moments with Ellie and Joel ("time heals all wounds"..."it wasn't time"...crushing), Marlene who is just incredible.
But it would've been nice to just chuck a little bit more in. To be honest, this is probably the one time I'd have liked to have seen some clicker/bloater action. But just make it a stealth scene of them figuring out how to get around them all, maybe taking a couple out with just knives/shivs.
Now all the speculation can start for season 2. It's going to be a big one! I believe they've already mentioned how it's likely too big for one season, which is good. I was wondering if they were going to add any hints towards season 2 in this, and they really didn't, which kind of surprised me.
