    I'm curious what you TLoU gamers thought of episode 5. I'd say it did pretty damn good.

    It definitely had its deviations, but the ending slapped me hard across the face. Maybe not as much as the game but still got a reaction. Oof. I won't be sad to see any more Cathleen though. Not convincing at all lol. Glad they didn't forget about Ish.

    Somehow they made it even sadder than the way it happened in the game.

    I was so confused because it's not sunday yet and last episodes ending didn't have anything to warrant these responses. Just realized they released the next episode early.

    Maybe it's because I knew it was coming, but I felt less attached to Sam.

    Also, guess that's the end of KC, eh?

    Sam asking Ellie to stay awake with him absolutely broke me.

    They also had less time to make you care about him, which is probably why they made him younger and deaf.

    So the setup in the last episode we were expecting the encounter to take place underground as they travelled through it...

    Spoiler: show
    All that tension built up as we were expecting a boss fight to happen as they traversed through the undereground and the boss didn't appear; I did not expect the turn of events leading up to the final act of the episode where they emerged there instead. Though it was mentioned they were driven underground I thought they were quite some distance out for them to have gotten away. So when they showed the truck falling into the hole I realised that this was the payload of the setup.

    The aftermath also gave me some hope, I actually thought Ellie would heal Sam there and then because I was expecting some changes to take place, but it was all for nothing as the same sequence of events played out.

    In game Sam was not deaf and mute. In this context it sort of enhances the bond between Henry and Sam because it made Sam depend on Henry even more. So the bond shown and established here is augmented by that fact and they talk about it in the extras I posted below!

    A whole bunch of travelling was otherwise removed and this is not a bad thing for pacing as it's a TV show. In game they visited a few other locations before ending up where they were, which is why when the undead appeared it surprised me.


    Extras!!!





    The actor who played Henry is mute IRL and I enjoy it when it's portrayed on screen because it makes it feel much more real. In the extras above, they had the Director of American Sign Language there as the person to coach and interpret for him!

    Idk why this episode just didn’t do anything for me. I was expecting this to be one of the saddest moments in the show and it just didn’t hit for me.

    it should've hit way harder but it just falls completely flat. i watch the game scene and its shock/surprise better and even more bleak.

    Spoiler: show

    the last conversation they have together is them both agreeing that there is no heaven and that there is nothing left of you inside, she then gives him a toy which he tosses aside angry and defeated over never being able to have the childhood he should have while quietly waiting for the end of his humanity to come. this is followed by one of the first times where Joel's shield starts to break and he shows that he is beginning to care/feel for ellie like his own daughter and henry's death actually rattling him which is followed by a timeskip that just moves on past the trauma of it all. personal preference but i think them being roughly the same age in game and relative equals makes ellie's survivors guilt hit a bit harder than in the show where she is clearly sam's senior and in completely different stages of self reliance/ability

    I enjoyed the shows interpretation, i like the behind the scenes show case they are doing too it helps to showcase why they do what they do

    While I enjoy watching the behind the scenes for a lot of shows I enjoy, I despise the concept of having to digest that content to “get” what they’re trying to display/communicate in the show itself. Looking at you GoT.

    I thought the ep was solid, but like 6 too many crucial last second sniper headshots, kinda ridiculous sequence
