Why was it there, what did it add?
Yeah see my only "issue" is I keep seeing bits like ep. 3 and going - well how the hell does that fit into a video game? Got to just enjoy it as a TV series but I do find myself doing that. It explained quite a bit about "outside" and how there just happened to be a random house they could go to for all the supplies they might need.

I'm about halfway through Wayne, it's a bit of fun eh.

The Last of Us is really well done isn’t it?
I’ve never played the game, no idea about any of the back story. Ep 3, to someone like me, makes no sense. Why was it there, what did it add? I should have hated it.
And yet it was still massively compelling. The Ron Swanson factor is always massive
, but it wasn’t just that. It was just a great piece of storytelling.Up to Ep5 and hooked
Ep 3 is pretty much a TV only add on, no idea why they did it, apart from to have a gay storyline in? It didn't advance the plot really, although it was great on it's own

This is how someone, who is familiar with the game, summarised Ep3:
This episode started with Joel still pretty closed off and sceptical about the value of saving one life. It then shows the journey that Bill went on with Frank, and how he came to feel differently over time, leading to him opening up to Joel in his letter about it. Regardless of what happens in the plot itself, it's absolutely relevant to the emotional journey that Joel and Ellie are on.

@Bovidae was a good episode and they tied the 'newly created' villain in really well. The scene with Pedro behind the gun was a good homage to the same scene in the game.
##spoiler
Biggest disappointment from the game to tv was when they went through the tunnels. I was surprised they cut this short as it's quite an emotional part from the game.
##endspoilerOk so...
##spoiler
What I'm struggling with is how they can just run a couple of hundred metres in the dark and they're alone again. Why aren't there any infected pursuing them or "hunting" around the general area?

Dunno! It doesn't really work like that in the game. The 'Runners' can see/hear you so you'd need to be quite far away not to be chased. 'Clickers' can only hear you so they're easier to get away from.Infected usually stick to certain areas where they're 'connected'. You don't usually see that many out in the general area.

@Bovidae I watched E3 last night, I think it provided some background and context and shows how Joel starts his journey, to me form comments I have seen, it seems plenty are still uncomfortable with gay (man on man) scenes on TV, and this can alter thier perception of things.

@taniwharugby Sure, but it's HBO not FTA TV.
Likewise, I am certain a section of society weren't happy to see the Gadsden flag hanging on Bill's basement wall, given what we later discover about him.

Mentioned Wednesday a few weeks back, which is actually pretty good, but hopeless casting of Gomez. This sums it up pretty well:
Anyone seen this on Netflix? The Koreans makes some pretty cool TV.

Started watching Santa Clarita Diet again. Not many shows I watch a second time but it baffles me that this one was canned and not relaunched. Barrymore and Olyphant are great together and the script is tight.
If you’ve not watched it do so.Also have been dabbling at Shrinking in AppleTV. Has its moments and I would never last hour long eps but watching for Harrison Ford. His dry delivery and comedic chops fit perfectly when given lines better than George Lucas can write.

That's been on My List for a while. I decided to start watching Mindhunter instead.
Mindhunter is awesome, and it really baffles me they're not making more of it.
I haven't watched Santa Clara Diet even though I'm a huge Justified fan and did a rewatch last year.

ep 5 of The Last of Us was bloody good, quality so far, but eps 1 & 5 have been the best for me.

SCD is Olyphant doing comedy and he’s good.
There was talk of a new Justified being made. So hope it comes to fruition.

Started on The Gold last night, liking it, really well done so far.

Just finished bingeing S2 of Clarkson’s Farm on Amazon Prime. I know he’s a bit marmite but Jezza is genuinely good at flying the flag for British farming, with several quite touching moments. All the old characters from S1 appear and are in great form. Excellent.
The ral-life farmers around here think the series is terrific at showing what farming is really like. One absolutely loathes Clarkson in general, but thinks he's done a brilliant job exposing the problems farmers face and what a really tough life it can be.
