Episode 3 of The Last of Us is a good one as others have stated. I'm really digging this show. Fingers crossed it continues to move in a good direction.

Catching up on Vikings of Valhalla Season 2. Pretty chintzy production but I put up with it because, well, Vikings.

Tx, just saw the first episode. Really riveting stuff. I guess that was based strongly on certain ppl irl.

Me too, I got through two episodes and my Prime account won't let me watch anymore because I'm in the US and my account is Canadian. I guess I'll have to pick it up when we get home in mid March.

It's in my rotation. I was waiting impatiently all those months for Season 3!

This is such a FANTASTIC show and series! Excellent casting. And two of my favorite and among the best actors on the planet: Giancarlo Esposito and Forest Whitaker! 💯

I tried to tell y'all several threads back about how superb this series truly is. But no one waited to listen...

I have no idea but the situation is highly plausible in today's world that is for sure!

This weeks ep kinda pissed me off....it was good but I didn't like the ending. LoL

Cmon, what did you bookworms expect??? LMAO.

My philosophy minor in college killed my desire to read as an adult.

What about the 1994 one? I watched it years ago, spread over 3-4 VHS tapes. But I was like 13-14, so don't remember any of it.

Re episode 3 s1 of The Last of Us, SLIGHT SPOILER maybe?







I can't believe that I noticed on YT some ppl were saying that it was 'absolute trash'... really? While I'm not going to the other extreme saying it was the best thing in the last decade, I tried to be objective and it was definitely a very above-avg episode/show, so for those ppl to say that it was 'garbage', I can't help but to feel that they are just ****phobic and did a poor job masking their foaming repulsion. For sure, the setup could've been better, the piano scene was a bit unnatural, but once the viewer accepts this being established, it's really about love and relationships.

Those ppl are ironically outing themselves by being haters, kinda reminds me of the Gillette incident: some ppl still need to be/do better and don't even realize it.

It was a great episode all in and I really enjoyed it. My only gripe is that it wasn’t depicted as it was in the game. The game had a much harsher reality. Frank grows to resent Bill and leaves him. Joel later finds Frank who had hung himself after being bitten while trying to escape the town. It’s a much darker story. I get the pivot though, the game story probably wouldn’t make for a good tv episode.

That's what im willing to bet is 90 percent of the negative reviews.

Last night's episode was good, not great by any means.

I was just referring to a novel that really goes into great detail about the fall of society.

The 1994 Stand was definitely solid but just sort of glazed over the chaos of the pre-apocalypse.

I will straight up and say the whole woke TV thing is completely and utterly out of hand. It is getting beyond ridiculous. In their desperation to tick every box i've seen shows WHERE THE CHILD ISN'T THE SAME RACE AS THE PARENTS.

It's all become so predictable and laughable, you NEVER see a hetero couple, it's like they are extinct.

BUT, in Episode 3 they handled it very well and it didn't feel fake or forced.

I believe your post is pretty spoiler free.

I agree with you entirely. This has nothing to do with my "personal beliefs". This is a fictional, scfi, fantasy TV show. Nothing more or less. It just happens to have real life elements. The acting and emotions of this episode are undeniable.

And who even uses the term "woke" anymore?
I find that the ones that do, are easily offended about anything. You know, like "Karen's".

Ok, I don't have the same vehement reaction as you haha, but, yes, I do agree w what you're saying. If we go by %ages, supposedly heteros are 90% of the population but it seems like they are the minority in media portrayals. I dunno what the agenda is, but they are going about it the wrong way regardless. I just can't help but feel it's yet another ulterior motive thing, why now and why so emphatic? I totally accept others and I accept natural ways of introducing elements and nuances, but to be overbearing is a bit too much. To be fair though, as a counterpoint, maybe it only seems excessive because these *never* used to be portrayed at all. In any event, I don't have such a strong reaction, in the end, I'm not gonna lose any sleep either way.

Tx, I put a warning just in case.

I think some ppl put way too much emphasis on ppl's sexuality. Yes, it can be distracting for whatever reason/agenda, but if the story holds, I'll still watch it unless they insert scenes like that at the gas station for Zoolander every 5 mins LOL.

Who knows about the 'woke' term, I'm alright w it even though it's meant to be derogatory; some ppl really do need to 'wake up' haha.
