The Last of Us HBO Episode 3 - Angry Review

When the trap kills the one infected, Bill says "never gets old", indicating he's been dealing with lots of infected the whole time.

Why do people think that they only got attacked once? Do we need to see every attack? I only saw them eat 2 meals, but I assume they ate more than that over 20 years.

we've only seen the men eat two meals during the span of 20 years, but wouldn't it be safe to assume Bill and Frank would have been eating throughout the years? So with that being said, I think it would also be safe to assume Bill and Frank had to deal with raiders and infected on more than one occasion.

There's better ba a 5 minutes in each episode where Joel upgrading his gun on a random convenient workbench 😆🤣

I do not think we can say there was only one raid. I think they just only showed the one raid, and how effective his defenses are. That said. Why in the f*ck does Bill stand out in the open and shoot? That was more unbelievable than fungus zombies.

Its implied when Bill says "it never gets old " when a runner dies from one of his traps that he regularly deals with the infected. There could also have been more raids from hunters that just isnt shown because the episode isnt really about that stuff . its about Bill and Frank.

I think we are purposefully not getting nonstop gunplay/violence because we are going to get that towards the end of the season. Though we see this world is brutal, we are mostly being shielded from the immediate violence by the storytelling. (We don’t see the two Firefly gun battles, for example.) This is to set up the devastating violence that will happen to lead characters later. Thus adding to their overall narrative impact.

Why such a high scores? It doesn’t add anything to the story, you could have technically skipped episode 3 altogether. The hilarious chemistry between Elly and Bill didn’t happen, it’s such a shame. A complete waste of this chapter in the game

Rest in piece Annie Wersching 🙏 💔 what a phenomenal VA and actress

I saw in another vid a comment, "Bill knew how to survive, Frank knew how to live" I think this encapsulates their relationship very well, and I love it.

Bill and Frank’s town not being raided as much or infected not appearing as much is kind of justified because of two reasons. The town is a on the country side where there is not a lot of chance of population being around as much. It also felt like really small town by the number of people FEDRA evacuates from the region at the beginning of their story. Fedra would have cleared up the other near by towns as well so less likely that infected would be around. Humans are also less likely to find their town because the town does not have any highways passing near by it. Joel and Ellie both take a small road to get to Bill and Frank’s which does not feel like an interstate or a highway. In the game Bill lives in a more city type region so it makes more sense to have infected there and not here. It also makes sense for the game because it gives the player something to do. The second reason would be because of the time jumps. They might have had previous raids as well but showing the raids for the sake of showing it to wouldnt really work for the story they were trying to tell i think. This could also explain why Bill got so cocky and didnt take cover while shooting at the raiders. Because in the supposed previous off screen raids the protected, electrified and apparently gasolined up fence would have taken care of a majority of the raiders and infected giving Bill over confidence in his ability to stop the raiders. The point of the love story is to make audience feel that there could be love in an apocalyptic grim dark world like this as well. At the same time Joel understanding the same thing as well is important to the story. He needs to understand and realize that his failures to protect the ones he loved shouldn’t make him lose all hope and stop him from trying or atleast this story is supposed to nudge him ever so lightly toward hope and not despair. In the game (unless you go back to the place), Tess’s death was never really shown to be processed or grieved by Joel. While in the HBO series, Ellie stopping short of reading Tess’s name aloud from the letter, Joel walking out to take a breather all make Tess’s death feel much more impactful than the game. In some ways the choices made in the series elevate the story even more than an already stupefyingly fantastic game.

I like both versions in the game and tv adaption… overall the point of each Bill’s story was to show Joel that there is more to living then survival… the game version shows Joel not to become a bitter old person who shuts everyone out… while the tv show gives the same but while showing to have someone you love to bring your life meaning

Bill didn’t only have to deal with “one” runner. We only SAW him deal with one. He actually chuckled and said “never gets old.” Inferring it happens often. I could guess similar for the raid. We only saw one, but they may have had more than one

Did you guys miss the big pile of cars stacking on eachother? I found it pretty obvious that they had being attacked more then once. What a great actor Nick Offerman is by the way

A useless filler episode about 2 gay men loving each other is a 10? Sure. You could skip this one and miss nothing. Joel did not need to read the note. He would have found the stash on his own.

This episode LITERALLY did NOTHING FOR THE PLOT and was only there for AWARDS.

This episode was a tough pill to swallow... But, they really crushed it in the end.

In the game, the outbreak also started in the food supply, albeit not flour and grain specifically. In the beginning of the game when playing as Sara, you can find a newspaper in Joel's house with a headline about the fungus contaminating crops on a wide-spread scale.

So most reviewers, reactors, & commenters have lauded this episode as the best of the season so far; yet user ratings on sites like IMDb & Metacritic have ranked it as the worst of the series to date.

The Last of Us: Episode 3 The Gay of Us basically.
