Wow. Horrible news. I first saw her in 24. Didn't even know she was the voice of Tess until last. Was hyped she was in Picard last season. R.I.P. Annie.

 

[brendasdeadbaby]

Of course Ron Swanson would know how to survive while still eating steak

 

[spiderjericho]

Never played the game. But a poignant story of Bill and Frank.

Elle’s such a mischievous lil child.

Wild this series is only going to be 2-3 seasons. I see they have Chernobyl on Max. Might check it out in the meantime before episode four.

 

[bigpat630]

Another great episode. Love the small nods to this part of the game.

 

[WASPS ANDD ASPS]

Chernobyl is greatness if yall aint seen it.

 

[americangenius]

Phenomenal episode, acting was 10/10.

 

[pmatic]

Touching episode.

 

[noskey]

[biggie62]

All the Emmys. That’s what this show is going for.

 

[buschfan04]

[SC kid]

Bill in the game was mostly the same. He doesn’t die in the game though, Frank left him to escape the town and was bitten. Very sad when you find the note. There is backstory in the game of him owing Joel a HUGE favor, never gets revealed why though. This episode felt like a big wasted opportunity on that end. But it was of course a refreshing retake on a truly beloved character.

I don’t know if anyone in here watches that show the Pickers lol. These two reminded me of Mike and Frank - even looked like them lol Touching episode. Good before a work week - reminds us life is all about experiences and connections and to live it without the fear of mundane everyday concerns.

 

[Grine]

Enjoyed this version of the story - better than the game…they did a phenomenal job with this…

Amazing acting all around!

 

[Bazooka]

Just can’t get Ron Swanson out of my mind

 

[osh kosh bosh]

Great episode.

Bella Ramesys accent is rough.

The Shutter Island music should stay with Shutter Island, great episode.

Yeah, thought it was an OG Shutter Island

 

[superblytrife]

Great episode. That was top tier TV. Sheesh.

They’re doing an amazing job in picking and choosing when to deviate from the game.

While it would have been fun to binge Lost, the weekly format added to the experience (like the fan theories and water cooler chatter). And going a bit further back... 24 was quite the weekly event too!

Binged lost during covid. Was goated firing off episode after episode. I can imagine the earlier seasons with water cooler talk and people were still Bambi legs and trying to get a handle on what was actually going on. But watching without the chatter and not being subjected to filler episodes and it all just being one long movie is my preferred application.

 

[raider5]

Another great episode.

And i’m okay with changing the story around, but i was really looking forward to Ellie & Bill interactions


sad we didn’t get to see any of that, but i’m happy with how it played out anyways. kudos to great story telling man - switched it up entirely and i ain’t even mad.
