The new episode of TheLastofUs delivers on exactly what we wanted from a TV adaptation of the game: backstory and added richness to characters we only briefly met before. It also gives Bill and Frank the love story they deserved. It's a triumph.

. And that is not at all a bad thing. Aside from being a beautiful episode of television, Episode 3 really pays tribute to two characters that weren’t able to be fully explored in the context of the video game. This episode delivers on exactly what I wanted fromLet’s dive in! As always, bring your tissues.

However, when Ellie comes across an immobilized Infected during a quick supply search, viewers also get to see a different side to her. Like a kid in a science class dissecting their first frog , Ellie slices up the Infected’s head to see what is really going on in there, before viciously stabbing the beast to death with her beloved switchblade. This is your reminder that Ellie is a badass.After the duo depart from their supply stop, Ellie asks Joel how the infection began.

Obviously, Frank ends up staying with Bill in his town of one, well, now town of two. And the show skips three years ahead, the two have built a partnership that has its ups and downs. Frank has a different worldview than Bill which is very apparent from the second they meet and is often the source of their disagreements. Frank is not happy in a solitary environment, whereas that is the kind of environment Bill craves.

beastobsessed What a episode! I was also drawn into the relationship, knew its a story but I too was genuinely moved. The constant terror of surviving a catastrophic plague demonstrated the best of humanity thur love. Bravo to both actors!! 💜☮️

beastobsessed I’m just bummed the magazine scene was left out. That scene was hilarious! If you have played the game, you know what I’m talking about.

beastobsessed Meh. Just felt like a pleasant enough distraction but didn’t advance the overall story much.

beastobsessed Weird but interesting….

beastobsessed Indeed, was moved by this

It's literally copy and pasted there's nothing new in this show better off playing the game which is more interactive.

Great episode!
