The bloaters are the big giant ones, and they were terrifying in the game. They did such a good job with that scene where they all come up from the ground. It was so unbelievably scary. The movement of the infected is done really well. That scene made me sweat.

What was with that? A huge person who was infected? Or mushroomed in size post-infection? I need more answers. It seemed to me to be like a boss fight in a video game. So there will probably be random huge guys throughout the show that represent boss fights. This is what I told H. It must be like the Bowser.

I just wanted to see my city!

I read a book in 2020 that was about a fungus that did this exact thing (that I think was an alien substance?) and it had to be contained in a cooled bunker underground in the 80s(?) but global warming heated the bunker to a temp it was able to get out. It's bugging me that I can't remember the name... Quote mishap. But, I read this summary and immediately wanted to add it to my list. Is it either The Loop or Cold Storage? I had my friends on the case searching the summary and they came up with these two that both sounded like they could fit the bill!

I cried like a baby with the latest episode. I’m glad the episodes are spread out - I think it’s be too much to binge them.

Ok what the actual fuck though. I thought this was supposed to be a scary zombie show and instead it fucks with my emotions every week?
Also I would have the worst Tv show because once I made it in the commune, the only way I’d be leaving is cold and dead on a stretcher.

I mean I doubt I would live long enough to get there, but no way I’m leaving if I do.

I know Joel won't be dead. But he's hurt pretty bad. Maybe Tommy comes behind them and shows up?

That's when you die

Me too! I’ve been sad about this season ending and the interminable wait for the next one since Episode 3.

Bella nailed that primal fear/rage emotion. I felt it.

I love that Bella saved herself and didn’t have Joel swoop in.
David fed that girl her father. He was too quick to resort to cannibalism, like wtf. Sick cult leading, cannibalistic pedophile. 🤮
The guy who played James (got the butchers knife in the neck) is the voice actor for Joel in the game. It’s cool they included him.
I love mercenary Joel.

This episode has stuck with me. Ellie's trauma at the end was so palpable - Bella Ramsay is so good. Joel's understated strength and violence is so good. It's all so freaking good.
I have never played the game and I keep seeing comments that those of us who don't know the ending are not ready for it - I am starting to get very nervous since obviously there are only a few things that means.

I have never played the game, so I don't know what that means in terms of what it will cover, but there is more to come at least!

It makes me so nervous for what’s happening next for Joel and Ellie with all this video game “just you wait” stuff.
But like, neither of them can die right? Maybe like blind in an eye? Lose a limb?
His “I got you baby girl” or whatever it is, made me so happy. She’s so kickass honestly and I was also pleased that she got herself out from David and the burning building but man, that girl needed a safe person in that minute.
All I was thinking though was …. where is the rest of the townspeople? Did they not hear that or smell the fire? Are they going to be happy or pissed that David and James are dead?
(And FYI that town they shot in is one of my favourite places in the world. It’s beautiful)

leatherpants the ‘just you wait’ will be a really rough watch. Won’t happen this season though, so there’s that. ETA: I think some people may stop watching after this plays out so I’m curious if they’re going to alter it from the game at all.

This is what I want to think. But then I remember that this is HBO, and what they did to Papa Stark in GOT, and I lose all hope and think they’re just gonna crush my heart.

I can't stand Ellie. I am behind some episodes but she gets on my nerves. Always has something to say. Never listens to Joel. I am on episode 6 and it grates on my nerves.
