That’s fine.

Wait, you’re not excited about spending 10 hours throwing pebbles into corners and pressing X to root through a drawer for bandages?

Yeah, if I hadn’t heard rumblings about how good this ep was, I would’ve expected Frank to grab Bill’s gun at the piano, or signal his camp while Bill was in the shower, etc. Thankfully, this isn’t the Walking Dead.

Nick Offerman as Bill is such an inspired bit of casting. 

> So, new nomenclature: Fungbies? Shroombies? Mushbies? Cordycepticons?

But part of me wishes that Joel had been not a construction worker, but instead, oh, a poetry professor at UT-Austin who also happens to be good at clambering over rubble and shooting zombies in the face.

When Joel broke out the tape to use on Tess’ twisted ankle I wanted to shout at him “Save that tape to make a shiv!”

I turned myself into A Problem Mortyyyyyy [brap]

No, but there were boards to walk on between buildings at one point.  You know, when the adults let the Most Valuable Girl On Earth wander off into Zombie territory.

ironically, i thought this episode looked more like a videogame than anything. i laughed for a moment when i saw the boarded up hallway. not because i thought it was dumb or bad, but it was just so clearly videogame logic.

For real. And I swear, if I ever see Ellie or Joel carrying more than 9 rounds of ammunition for any of their guns, this show is dead to me.

There was a nice swapping ammunition scene. Although he was kinda slow about it - Joel clearly needs to map tab to cycle weapons/ammo then spam r to reload.

It’s basic disaster movie scientist methodology, I guess.

Doesn’t seem to be much circling tables excessively and doubling back on empty shelves in case they come across random screws or pills. Starting to doubt their commitment to the source material.

Another fun mystery show dead with a massive cliffhanger.  Can we call this getting Carnevaled?

Thank you. I noticed the one guy had small hands but didn’t make the connection.

The final gory death in the film made the theater I was in lose it.

Bad guys die gory painful deaths, please?

So Harbour combined Stranger Things’ police chief Hopper with his Red Guardian and John McClane?

This sounds amazing.  I never knew I needed Die Hard Santa but I need it.
