-what's up with all the rainbows? -i don't know, maybe they were all optimists.
Dina, of course, found the testicle very easily, yes, no one understood, no one understood :-)
-He taught you well -He did.
The series is, of course, very morbid and quite violent, and it also keeps you in suspense all the time. that moment where they were hiding from the wolves, that moment on the train. The vinegar scene is very unexpected, quite an interesting departure from the game..... No, I wrote it exactly BEFORE she said she was pregnant.... I just wanted to praise that in the series, the fact that Ellie is famous was shown much better and this is the most important big reveal that came to the fore, but EXACTLY at this moment Dina decides to throw a pregnant bomb... Sister, please.... It's okay, the game was also bad in this regard, and even worse.
from what I can tell, in general, the chemistry between Ellie and Dina is felt, indeed the moment when she thought about shooting her was very difficult and you really believe in what she feels.
.. How much water did she drink?...
So let's get this straight, I anticipate a lot of negative comments about the whole relationship between Ellie and Dina and how much more explicit they are in the series, BUT! FIRSTLY, it's shown really plausibly; secondly, well, we all knew everything from the game; thirdly, it's even cute, and they even discussed the fact that she was pregnant and decided to divorce Ellie rather than stay safe. You've earned respect
@soyjakeee: I want to add that the series made the pregnancy news better, at least through the prism of the fact that she really thought she would have to kill Ellie, whom Dina loves. That is, at first we were shown a very emotional moment, a very tense couple of hours, where Ellie proves that she is immune, and already in the wake of this, Dina blurts out that she is pregnant. when the information in the game that Ellie is pregnant flies by in passing and the main event is pregnancy (although it still doesn't seem to be putting the squeeze on the series, you can somehow focus a little more on this very UNIQUE feature that no one else has)
@exSqq: in pursuit of fame and the speed of writing a comment, I didn't have time to remember the normal Russian equivalent of the word, but I feel like this woman all the time. The best meme is just
@prison: perhaps he is just showing us that he has been living somewhere in another country for a long time and, of course, began to forget the barbaric Russian language, which is why he sometimes has to use some English words.
@flaxman: not to defend the dude, I'll say that sometimes, when you live in another country, another language tends to displace your native one. Sometimes words, sometimes phrases. Sometimes an internal monologue sounds in a different language in my head, because it has become more familiar. And sometimes you know the right word in another language, but it becomes difficult to find the right word in your native language. And for speed, you just leave it as it is. I also sometimes laugh at such things, but due to being in a different language environment for several years, I also speak the same way, only I mix not 2, but 3 languages. And believe me, all Russian speakers speak the same way everywhere in the world)
@Arumi: Yes, this happens to many people during a conversation, but it's very doubtful to write, because when you put your thoughts in writing, you have time to think calmly and formulate everything correctly. 😊
@prison: Gentlemen, I often write this way too, and if you pay attention, a lot of people write this way everywhere just because it's more convenient. half of the English expressions that the person used in the comment are already well-established in English, but they are not in Russian. so I see pregnant bomb and big reveal and immediately understand what it's about. if you find at least more or less adequate analogues of these expressions in Russian, it will still not be the same, the meaning will be lost a little. I would also leave the word morbid in English, explicit could in principle be replaced with "frank", but there is no problem in the English word. I haven't seen any fuckers on this topic for a long time, even surprisingly
@flaxman: few people want to spend time reading the commentary to the series on the Internet. Not even his own. Moreover, at the moment, especially if you are watching a movie / TV series not in your native language, it can be difficult to translate thoughts. Russian russians don't have analogues, or you simply don't know them in Russian, but they seem logical to you in English.
@soyjakeee: I was madly waiting for a joke from the game: -I'm pregnant, don't worry, it's not from you; And then there's such a reaction, as if she really is dad) Agatha's affair with Rio continues
@Orsha111: My cat yells at me if I delayed the delivery of food or didn't pick her up in the evening, she brings me up. According to your logic, is my cat my father? It's absurd!
@igogoshka: (just joking) Actually, Ellie's reaction was very sweet "we're having a baby! ..(jokingly) Isn't that Jesse's baby? You, Jessie, and I are going to have a baby! I'm going to be a dad!!"
As the main fan of the Jackson trio, I'm going to die from the images in my head where the THREE of them are raising a child , you can make a sitcom about it.
@flaxman: I was also interested in this moment and the answer to the question turned out to be positive - there is even a video where she plays the guitar and sings.
But in one shot, she just pulls the bass string with her thumb, and the rest of her fingers don't move. It's strange, if she can play the guitar, to insert such a blunder into the finished series.
@flaxman: She definitely had a YouTube channel before, where she posted a lot of videos of herself singing to the guitar. Maybe she has already deleted it like all social networks, then she was very religious, there were songs in that spirit too)
@lt_22: she seems to have recently deleted social media altogether, because with the release of the second season, she was harassed because of her external dissimilarity to the game Ellie.
It seems good that everything happens quickly and there are a lot of events in the series. But it feels like a short retelling. They go there, then here, then got into trouble with some opponents, then with others, nothing was visible in the dark, by the way, then immediately the very shelter, then the disclosure of immunity, then after a couple of hours they are ready to make love to each other. And okay, Ellie is not the most adequate character, now Dina is with her too. (Previously, Ellie's character was shaded by an adult and sullen Joel). Two funny girlfriends find themselves in creepy places where they are fighting for their lives, and an hour later they are having fun and easy again.
@GonReborn: It feels crumpled, yes. It was as if they hadn't decided whether to stretch the second part of the game into two seasons and did something in between. The same war in the city was not necessary at all in the end, galloping across Europe
@GonReborn: I actually feel like I'm watching a season trailer. Like, now they're going to run it all away and finally we can watch the season. It's all very jerky, as if the fragments are breaking off, not ending somehow logically.
@GonReborn: I couldn't see anything about " I remembered, while I was watching, the battle for Winterfell, there was also a Bella dude longing back and forth))
@GonReborn: it was with these thoughts that I watched this episode... I didn't play the game, I didn't know anything about the plot, but somehow I didn't expect that there would be a series about the adventures of teenagers. Their outings look very frivolous. However, the subway scene was beautifully shot. They didn't let you down here
@GonReborn: It's really easy to explain here. They live in this asshole every day. I used to be scared by the bangs over the city when the air defense was working, but now I don't even pay attention. In the series, Dina said that she had never been sick of dead bodies and intestines before. Ellie was told that she was 19 years old. When we were 19, we went to parties, and they went on perimeter patrol with guns. The children here quickly matured and adapted to this tinplate. This is already part of their life background. Just like we have the noise of the freeway, they have dead bodies and clashes with infected people.
@Sei-sama: Well, how was he recruited in general and by whom exactly? Otherwise, they just called each other names and he immediately went to waste all his subordinates. It looked strange somehow, I would like to learn a little more.
@flaxman: Well, we were given an exposition - a stupid story of a soldier, where he did not consider people to be people. So the hero's motivation to defect is quite natural. Well, they showed perfectly well that 11 years later he is the same, using the example of a former recruit who no longer considers Seraphites to be people.
@flaxman: My theory is that Handrakhan, the woman Isaac greeted, is the prophetess, the head of the Seraphites. The moment that was shown at the beginning of the series was 11 years ago, Isaac was still in FEDRA, but apparently he switched sides with the voters. In the car, the soldiers call "voters" civilians who have been deprived of their rights and who are distributing some religious materials. From this I conclude that Handrakhan is the leader of the voters, that is, the religious organization of the future Seraphites. In the third episode, the Seraphites say that the Prophetess was an ordinary woman who told people the truth and died about 10 years ago, that is, a year after that scene from the beginning of the fourth episode. Perhaps she convinced Isaac to betray FEDRA with her truth. But during the year, there were some events that brought Isaac and Handrahan into conflict, and perhaps they will be shown to us. Most likely, they had different views on the future. At first, they were united by the war with FEDRA, but after that they switched to each other. Perhaps Isaac killed her, became the head of the WLF, and her followers turned her into a martyr-Prophet and finally became Seraphite fanatics. And the endless war of Dogs with Scars began. In the game, the prophetess is depicted in numerous drawings in Seattle, and these drawings, in my opinion, resemble the appearance of Handrahan. Yes, my theory is that if you study the ENT of the game, you may not connect with it in places, but the creators of the series may well redo the ENT for themselves by changing the details, as they have done repeatedly.
@Nemez11: I agree, I came to the same conclusions in principle. But I wouldn't equate Seraphites with voters. The latter, as I understand it, is a collective disparaging name for civilian military WLF, and the scars/Seraphites are just a group that may have become a sect after the death of the Prophetess.
@GritsanY: I don't put an equal sign between voters and Seraphites. I wanted to say that some of the voters (in fact, just civilians) who are currently just distributing religious literature will later become Seraphite fanatics, following the prophet and making a cult out of her prophecies. The other part is to join WLF/Isaac after the FEDRA debacle. Anyone who has a gun is probably called a human voter. But that's probably what they say in FEDRA. They are, in fact, an analogue of the new legitimate government after the beginning of the apocalypse. FEDRA sort of protects people, gives them jobs and food, but at the same time completely deprived them of their rights. Military dictatorship. Hence the nickname - the voters. And the WLF was originally something like rebels who disagree with the dictatorship. But in fact, this is a battle between a toad and a viper, one dictatorship will replace another. It was FEDRA soldiers who were in the truck, and they were the ones who called the civilians voters, but they also mentioned the WLF, meaning that at that time the rebels already existed, but they had not yet been led by Isaac.
@Sei-sama: what does it refute? They showed a couple of scenes with Handrahan. It could well have been flashbacks from the past, just from the year when she and Isaac were still together as part of WLF. The conversation between her and the Chinese woman was probably about the basement of the hospital, where at that time, according to the Chinese woman, there were not even rats. Probably because it will appear there soon or already lives there (spoiler from the game). And in the present tense, Ellie is already wandering there and they show how all the walls have grown over these 10-11 years, because she lives there (spoiler from the game). The authors may well swap scenes, introduce new scenes from the past and show not only how Isaac started, but also how he appeared in the basement (spoiler from the game). And it's not Abby who's going to meet him, it's Ellie. I wouldn't be surprised if the scriptwriters overplayed everything here, too. The trailer can often be misleading. You think these are shots from the present, but they're from the past. On the contrary, I was even more convinced that Handrakhan is the prophet of Scars, and not the random woman from the beginning of the last episode. They pay too much attention to her. But we'll see soon enough. Maybe I'm really wrong and I'm just putting an owl on a globe. It's just a theory.
@Nemez11: Handrahan says in the trailer "If it's war again we're gonna need all the soldiers we have.""Again " means a new one after PHAEDRUS. So it seems to me that it's not a flashback after all. And then who knows, we'll see! And if Ellie fights the Rat King instead of Abby, it will be a complete failure. It was an allegory of Abby's emotions and inner state. You can't just change that, imo.||
About "there was " The Rat King was there from the very beginning. He didn't show up afterwards. This is a huge mass of infected people who fused into one after they were locked in this department. It was at the very beginning of the apocalypse. But it was formed gradually, of course, but not for so long that no one noticed it before the events of the series. Therefore, we can say that Handrakhan conducts the interrogation in a flashback, but then who is the war with?
Actually, in the game during the passage of Ellie, we hear the Rat King, and Abby directly meets him face-to-face.
Ellie and Dina, of course, are cute, but still, they somehow accepted the pregnancy news too quickly, as if they had undergone a course of psychotherapy. You're going to fight the army here, and you have a CHILD. And not only are they not planning to go back, they don't even want to leave Dina safe. I liked almost all the deviations from the game this season, but the pregnancy moment turned out to be a bit too positive, although in fact it's at the wrong fucking time and makes everything much more difficult.
@niggapig: I'll tell you more than that, and it looked very foreign in the game. Drakman knows how to work with characters, prescribe their characters, motives and logic of actions, but against the background of the agenda, he is obviously sorry, but fucked with a cuckoo. Fragile Ellie, who can stand people like a terminator, and Abby, whom all fitness trainers will envy. Dina, who doesn't give a shit about the child, and there was also one Persian who, in my opinion, is a complete asshole and another one to whom there are questions. But I won't tell you, in case you haven't played the game and I don't want to spoil it. Doakman is a genius, but like all geniuses and crazy at the same time)
The series was turned into a sitcom haphphahphapha, what was that all about??? As expected, 7 episodes is very small, hbo has pushed themselves into the frame and now we see the results. We mixed everything that is possible in the episode. And what happens to the color sensor is that it is bright, then super dark, it is almost invisible. Bella max miskat continues to annoy in all aspects, absolutely nothing is felt in her game. Anyone who continues to believe that something will change, I am sorry for you. Isabela drags the entire series after Pedro is gone. It doesn't even make sense to compare it with the game anymore, everything looks bad even from the point of view of a regular TV series. Kung fu from Elia is just a hand)))
@buryndyq: and how was the game supposed to affect the series? I liked Konstantin's movie, but I didn't read the comics (they say Keanu doesn't match the character at all). Can I praise the film, or should I have read the entire ENT first and then formed an opinion about the film?
@ppcpc10: It's pretty easy to make an impression about Konstantin from the comics. There are cartoons and a TV series. The series, by the way, is very average, but John is almost alone in one of the comics, the cast is perfect. At the same time, John is still very much loved by many from Keanu, although he is completely different. And then there's Bondiana, for example. Now it's about the fact that Bond can be made black or female, but at the time of Casino Royale, we had an equally epic fight over the blonde 007, because he was always dark and it's clearly indicated in the books). It will always be like this.
@ppcpc10: Of course, Bella's performance is not very good, but at least they didn't substitute the soundtrack of some left-wing singer. Trushness is more suitable here
@prison: we're not watching a musical, on the contrary, the task was (for Ashley, for sure, and for Bella, too, I think) to sing as rough and naturalistically as possible, close to a girl who hadn't picked up a guitar in a long time and hadn't taken vocal lessons either.
@MeMori: I cried in the game, too, and I think I was really blown away that the game could evoke such emotions. I also suspect that it's the song and the band I love a-ha and all their songs 🥲 always nostalgia eh
@iawia: Yes, I'm sitting in tears, and then I see Dina crying in the frame, too, and we're crying together, and I'm like, wow, I'm not alone, she feels the same way I do!;
@Sen13: Yes, Ellie, in the moments while she was singing the song, was a tender, vulnerable teenager who briefly opened a window into an inner world full of beauty
When Chernobyl came out, Craig Mazin really surprised everyone, but after such episodes (and the same Borderlands movie), you realize that Craig is still a pretty mediocre screenwriter. Even the first season was generally good, but what happened in the second is unclear. Maybe they brought in Ramsay so that the criticism of the cast would overshadow the many other silly moments in the series?
@kobiii: I want to believe that Druckmann won't be infected by his desire to explain everything in such detail. Meisin definitely needs to be told everything and the background must be shown. Isaac can't just be an asshole here.
@prison: I suspect that this is all coming from Drakman, because he got burned out that his brilliant plot in the game was misunderstood and criticized, and in the series he decided to literally chew for everyone.
@prison: the game did not have the opportunity to show Aizik's past, the game rigidly follows the character, and the series is good because it can show more events that the main characters did not see.
@Darth_Rexther: And it's Druckmann's fault, yeah. It doesn't matter that in the podcast, Mazin just tells what he wanted to show in more detail and more clearly.
@vk775121: >There was no way to show Aizik's past in the game And maybe it was better that way. And then, for some reason, the scars were shown ahead of time. They screwed up a potentially cool action-packed episode in which the viewer would have been as lost as Ellie. They also showed these cultists as victims that their children are being killed for minor offenses.
It's a very strange and still incomprehensible move that Dina will go with Ellie after all... I hope everything will change. Ellie already looks like a minor character.
@elizabeth666: Well, emotionally, they seemed to have changed places for me) Playing Dina was very non-emotional for me, as Bella shows herself in the role of Ellie. But the game Ellie was just charged with emotions, just like the serial Dina does!)
@elizabeth666: Ramsay doesn't know how to play, she wouldn't have played the central role without Pascal, so they brought another character forward and took an actress for this.
@ppcpc10: Well I do not know. In the seventh episode of the first season, she played very well. Not every fatality in Mortal Kombat 2 will be able to do
Well, what can I say... After the last very calm and slow episode, this one is a real breath of fresh air.
1) I smiled at Dina's joke about Ellie's joint with Luke. There was a brain ulcer for a minor ulcer. 2) The frying pan moment is creepy, I'm too empathic for torture scenes. But that's why I love TLOU. 3) There is also a moment with hangmen and a scene of stealth and strangulation (the players probably smiled nostalgically at this moment). Chief kiss, it was good👌 4) It's hard to imagine how hard it was for Dina when Ellie was bitten: her beloved is in danger of death - and you have to do it yourself, because otherwise she will turn and attack, but there is hope that the words about immunity were not a lie and that everything will work out... So that's why the bed scene was delayed: so that Dina wouldn't have any reason to be interested in Ellie's scars, and Ellie wouldn't have to talk about immunity. 😁 5) With the bed scene itself and the way Dina immediately told me about her pregnancy, imho, it came out too abruptly and awkwardly, I felt like a child who caught a bed scene while watching TV with her parents. There was also a scene with flags, "optimistic people lived here" although it was funny, it looked somehow completely detached from the atmosphere. 6) But the scene where Dina shows the pregnancy test, saying " and more, and more, and Ellie listens, saying, "what kind of tests are these anyway, I only know math tests (which, imho, in the nature of the character, I don't think anyone told her about it) - it was sweet and funny 😄
In short, I rather liked the series than not. It's dynamic, sometimes creepy, sometimes a little awkward, but still very good. 50 minutes flew by like 5.
p.s. I forgot: the moment with take on me is wonderful, I already shed tears. Bella, may her haters forgive me, has a pleasant voice. Yes, maybe the acting isn't 10/10, but I still enjoy watching her with Dina. It's a pity Joel won't see his daughter follow in his footsteps by becoming not a biological father, but a father. 😁💕
@AkellbINetvJivix: If you're talking about the events from the game, then you've played/watched the walkthroughs on YouTube, and you're surprised by Joel's murder, the lesbian storyline, and the eerily banal revenge arc."?
Are we watching the same TV series?"
Are you playing the same game as the others? Or did you think the series would play out the main points of the plot differently?
@AkellbINetvJivix: Dear, you give your opinion as a general one. Whether you consider this series to be what you think is your business. I'm watching with pleasure, and I'm going to watch Abby with even more pleasure than I'm watching Ellie. If you don't like the game, if you don't like the plot, then why are you watching at all? Why were you playing? To come here and set up these negative karma comments? And telling others what to do is a direct reason to run into an answer about where to go. Although, judging by your comments, you are already there.
Hahahaha, fuck Pointed the gun, "I'm pregnant," had sex 🤝🏻 It's a bit of a cringe at the end of the episode. Then, at the end, they took up these pens, well, somehow about nothing at all. 😁
@g1557380: it was possible to convey this in a less crude form) Thank you for the information and I take back my words. but generally speaking, when it comes to the plot, I don't like the way it's being presented this season at all. I partly put this idea in my comment above.
The bite moment was much less cool than in the game, when Ellie takes off her mask amid the spores and it's immediately obvious that she has an immune system. But here it was necessary for an emotional build-up, so that's normal. I'm really looking forward to Abby, and I hope that the theory that the second season will only be Ellie's story, and the third one will be Abby's, won't come true, because waiting two more years to watch Abby is torture.
One of the one-time FEDRA agents had a terribly familiar face, and I was like, no, it can't be Josh Peck from Drake and Josh and Oppenheimer. And it really was him!
I don't know why people watch Western TV shows that have a subpoena, so that they can watch them further and spit. Well, drop it and that's it. Personally, I just rewind the sex scenes, which is also a problem for me.
Of course, the plot itself is developing dynamically, which is encouraging. Once again, we are shown by all sides of the conflict that there is no black and white. And a dude who seems to betray his own people and goes over to the side of the resistance doesn't seem like such a traitor to us based on his words in the car?
@Paramelion: At the end of the last episode, when we were marching, there was clearly a reference to this. Here the cruel tortures were shown. The snotty naive kid from Fedra already approves of all this and justifies it, he has been successfully raised over the past years. Well, no hints at all, bright fighters for justice and freedom.
@ppcpc10: if you played the game, but missed this moment, it was shown that initially the intentions of WOLF were good, but gradually they themselves turned into PHAEDRUS. So initially he changed from fascists to freedom fighters. And then he helped build the WOLF mode that we see in the series.
@Aizen-88: I don't quite understand the benefits of at least one stratum of society. Crime is a burden on the police system, it's overcrowded prisons, it's victims among ordinary people, it's the shadow sector of the economy that does not participate in the life of the state, it's a lot more. Drugs are a burden on healthcare, it is an increase in the criminal situation, it is again income that goes past the state's coffers, it is a bunch of lost human resources that do not participate in the economy - they do not produce, do not buy, do not pay taxes. I agree with the subpoena and its advertising, but it's simple. Promoting such things earns political points for different candidates. But to hypothesize that they want to nail us all is pure madness!)
It's a very good series. There are tense moments, action, and romance. Well, the song performed by Bella Ramsey was great. Definitely 10 out of 10. 🤗👍🏻
When Ellie was playing guitar, I immediately remembered the moment at the end of season 1, where Joel offered to teach her how to play🥺 he did a great job 💔
when they came into the music store and showed me the drums, I thought, well, just don't knock on the drum, because wolves or zombies can hear. And then Dina starts to fuck up))) Well, yes, well, yes, I went to …
@AnnKonovalyuk: it's like in Ellie's favorite jokes with a play on words, it's hard to translate into Russian) Greenberg just doesn't know the meaning of dissolving and just connected it with semen, that's all the army humor about jerking off)
@rin_rin: Drakman, as always, is on the blue and pink wave, that last season he inserted 2 homos, and devoted an entire series, but here he generally puts a whole season under it.
Ellie just throws everyone around in the game. Ellie could barely take down a man here, and she had to put pressure on his heel. It's not clear yet how she's going to defeat someone there alone. I don't believe she's an experienced and secretive fighter. I couldn't even approach one person covertly. I don't believe in general. It doesn't feel like the character in the game at all. She's not sure what she's doing.
@prison: It's more difficult to show all these murder sequences with realism in the series. It was possible only on the basis of fireflies. That's where the game Joel opened up. And it was well played. He'll kill a lot of meat on the way to his girl.
@Choly_Cavel: Well, this man is also not a horseradish from the mountain - but a trained military man. Somehow, they still can't decide when the heroine is wetting the men - everyone is shouting that it's bullshit and in life he would have scattered her at once, when the heroine is expected to be unable to fight on equal terms with a big man - they shout that she should have been able to take it out with a click.
@Darzik: when a frail six-foot-tall girl strangles a healthy man, it can't cause anything but laughter or misunderstanding, because it looks unnatural. But shooting, making traps and luring into them, sneaking up and sticking a knife in the neck is quite a thing.
@ppcpc10: And how was she supposed to make a trap in a few seconds? Or should I shoot so that the others would come running? She ended up sticking a knife in her neck.
@ppcpc10: As for the knife in the neck, yes, she ended up sticking it in, but. Throughout the game, her knife has no wear, meaning that she is small and therefore cuts everyone with a knife, so why did she go to strangle a man is not really clear at all, there is no way to jump and immediately stab him with a knife....
@Darzik: I wrote about it in general. Suddenly, you can come up with a lot of realistic murders of 40kg healthy men by a girl. It's not necessary to show how she supposedly kills them with her bare hands and wins in a fair fight. That's exactly what people claim - well, make it at least a little realistic. In theory, they needed the others to come running (because that's how it turned out in the end). Well, she would have jumped from behind with a knife like a mushroom, but he still managed to scream or fall loudly, which attracted the others. Or there was nothing left and I had to shoot. Why this acrobatics with zero level of realism? Did you have the paid hours of the director of hand-to-hand fighting left and decided to stick them at least somewhere?
@DObro_poshlo: I also skipped the song and the lesbian scene. It's a pity you can't see this shit. It's still okay in the game, I've endured it. But in the series, they look just like children. Pedophilia was pushed into the series as the norm, they say they are already 19, they can. But outwardly the children.
I do not know how Dina announced her pregnancy in the game, but this moment is very suitable for their relationship. 🥹 It so happened that I saw two scenes from this series in the game version: the scene about immunity and the guitar.In the first case, I had goosebumps from the plot with masks in the game and what kind of Ellie and Dina are there, but here with the bite it's no worse. That crazy fright in the eyes of Dina and Ellie, who didn't even think there would be a question about Bae. Well, the Take on me scene shattered me. Playing Ellie was singing somewhere out there, even to herself, I would say, right there it was right from the bottom of my heart, sincere and straight to the recipient of a very beautiful moment. Isabela and Bella are a wonderful duet that perfectly complement and look harmoniously together, despite all the shit-pouring 💘🥹 Capitol Hill🥹 Yes, girls, optimists lived there🌈🏳️🌈
As for the second line with Isaac and the scars. I do not know anything about them at all, who is worse, who is better. But the guy who was tortured aroused in me a great sense of respect, even in such a terrible way, unlike this same torturer and the kid from the beginning of the series.
@Mechtaev: There is little drama in season 2. In this episode, the pain of Joel's loss is no longer felt. There is no desperation, although that is exactly why she decided to take revenge. That he would do everything possible to end this Abby. And in the series, we see a crimson romantic tour.
@AkellbINetvJivix: so the murder scene was ruined. In the game, death was the main event, and after the murder, everything else completely faded into the background. And then, for some reason, the attack on Jackson was parallel + Abby told her whole story at once.
Very beautiful scenery in an abandoned music store and hotel, running through subway cars is also cool! the rainbow district was also fun, it's interesting that with the onset of the apocalypse, knowledge about the meaning of all symbols was lost, oh, the girls would know)
zombies and chasing in the subway - it's literally every morning on the way to work, sometimes even with bites. Dina is so beautiful that I miss the plot while admiring her.
Now I'm wondering where the writers will finish the story this season. Otherwise, the whole storyline of the series feels so crumpled that it's not very clear where they'll decide to stop.
I honestly don't understand why the character of the serial Ellie was rewritten so much. In the game, Ellie was obsessed with revenge and her mission, and when Dina told her she was pregnant, she called her a burden. Here, hooray, I'm going to be a dad. If the series finale coincides with the game finale, then I don't understand how they will lead the heroine to her choice, because now she stupidly lacks motivation in her actions.
@archont66: a million plus points for you. such thoughts haven't left my mind since the beginning of the second season.
my character of the serial Ellie doesn't add up at all, first some kind of fake cruelty with Joel, then susipusi with Dina - revenge seemed to fade into the background. Here, Ellie was made softer and more normal, so to speak. in the game, you could see the madness in one look, you knew that Ellie was fucked irrevocably, and there was a strain and drama in it. that she's bent on revenge and won't stop at anything. and there was confidence in her actions that she would kill anyone. here, all this has been twisted as much as possible, and there is no worry even for them.
@archont66: It looks like two friends went for a walk in Seattle and by chance found themselves in the middle of a showdown between two gangs. I don't see any motive for revenge either. I understand why game content is being cut off. But it can be done better than it is now. And so it turns out, some kind of fragmented plot, without the motivation of the characters, it is not visible at all.
It's a good episode, and we've finally got the speakers and the scary stuff. Bella is cool, and I think her Ellie is more charming than a playful one. More human somehow.
@Scandias: She seems like a child, nothing more. What are her grimaces worth, from episode to episode. The game Ellie has serious facial expressions and a face, but here it's just a laugh. It was like going on a picnic.
@AkellbINetvJivix: well, she's not old enough, she's yesterday's child) I can't imagine a person with her character who would frown 24/7, especially if there's a girlfriend nearby who's trying to keep your spirits up, and there's no danger yet.
Oh, Ellie, I'm pregnant with another dude's baby, let's sleep together about it. 🫣
The shelf life of the pregnancy test is 2.5 years. The epidemic began in 2003, and now the year is 2033. That is, 20 years have passed... doubtful, well okey
I guess I'm glad I didn't play the game. Because there are a lot of comments about what was wrong in the game and it was better this way. Less expectations, less disappointments 🙂
@belaiamari: since I've been playing the game, I'm already trying to watch it as a separate cast, because they're really different, if you don't compare the game and the series, it's already less bombastic)
The second season is encouraging. Made better than the first one. It's a pleasure to watch. It's clear that they were cut from the game under the format of the series, but that's okay. Those who haven't played the game, that's enough for them. I feel like I'm going to replay the second part of the game after this season.
As for me, it is very strange that SO LITTLE attention has been paid to the fact that Ellie is famous. Kamon, there is no one in this world (at least from those who are familiar to the characters and us) who has such a UNIQUE fit, and at the same time, after the bed scene, the maximum interest that caused Dina was her previous bites, and then the talk was about pregnancy. I didn't have enough shock and questions from Dina, as far as I remember, they revealed this in a little more detail in the game. As a result, the focus was on a fairly common condition like pregnancy, as opposed to unique immunity.
@fb749559: I wanted to write the same thing)) agree. Like, they just told you about immunity. and you didn't even ask who else knows about it/how it happened/when you found out about it yourself. It's really interesting. but no, let's talk about pregnancy instead))) I didn't like at all that the focus was shifted to this. they made it special in the game, there was always the fear that someone would burn down Ellie's immune system, and here…
What a dumb shit this series is. The only reason to watch it is to get hung up on the IXBT and Goblin showdowns later. However, the escape from zombies scene was good, the drama was normal.
@Candramelekh: don't torture yourself, bro, it's better to watch the Red Cynic later as he goes through this shit with the fiercest miscast in history, unless of course you take into account the degenerate little Brits with their black Anne Boleyn and no less black Snape
@prison: apart from the blogger I mentioned, I don't watch anything, I haven't even heard of ixbt, but you can still hang out, even though you're doing pretty well. In general, it's fun to read such comments from fans of very strange cases, some of us and other female propaganda trash. Before you accuse someone of having different tastes, look in the mirror and ask yourself: are you out of your mind and is your brain completely swollen with soy? 😂
SESBIAN LEX WE HAVE SESBIAN LEX!!! THIS IS NOT A DRILL 🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈💜💜💜
Okay, I accepted Dina in this episode solely because of the 2 minutes of romance. And she even shed a tear on the morning stage (okay, a couple of tears).
But it's still clear that they have a very small budget for big plans. The masks on the nutcrackers are clearly visible (it didn't seem for the first time in episode 1, really, cheap makeup, which was covered with lighting).
Well, of course, a lot of moments were JUST mercilessly leaked. Let's not even follow the canon (let's just forget about it), but accept the pregnancy of a girl so calmly, with whom you had only one night? Wtf?
By the way, the cupcake scene was clearly filmed by a man, because no one in their right mind would climb into the closet when you just got off the subway, dirty as pigs (even after being bitten).
In general, yes, it's all VERY frustrating. I appreciated how we were given a couple of minutes of romance (so that we would forget about how the plot was mercilessly drained). I have zero questions about the performance of the actresses, they do a great job. There are questions for the directors. Because of all this, the overall background of the series is weak.
There is a lack of this sincerity, the very thread that was built between Dina and Ellie. And you literally got into it while you were playing. And here it's like they've thrown lumps of dough into a pile.…
Episode 7/10 (+2 points for sesbian Lex, we don't need much to be happy!)
@Mirra_: maybe so, but it wouldn't hurt to at least take a look at who the directors are before categorically stating that since they got into each other's underpants there without first taking a shower and sanitizing, it was clearly filmed by a man.
@Orsha111: If only they could shit on the men. Today they call themselves dad, and tomorrow they pee standing up and grow beards. The female director enjoyed filming Serafim's genitals, but they didn't even take off Dina's pants, let alone her panties.
@Mirra_: I don't understand why you're being minced. As for sex: cleanliness is simply not taken into account in such films, just as they do not show how people wash, go to the toilet, etc. And for some reason, they're all so clean, and their clothes look like they've just been washed after crawling through a blocked tunnel for several meters in mud and concrete dust, and then hanging out with skeletons in a train carriage, and then running away from the infected. No, it's not worth waiting for such plausibility xD
At the forty-ninth minute, everything was supposed to end, everyone went home and live happily ever after. I feel like it's going to get tougher and tougher.
So far, it seems that Ellie went for a walk to a nearby town with her best friend. There is no feeling at all that she is going to avenge Joel, that their campaign has some purpose. Ellie doesn't have the right emotions. Where is the pain of Joel's recent death? Where is the anger of the man who decided to take revenge? I only see a teenager in love, on a camping trip. And in my opinion, it's not even Bella's fault that she conveys emotions in a wrong way, but the scriptwriters who prescribed the plot for her.
@ViktoryMartini: Yes, it's even screenwriters + directing. If the GPT chat didn't deceive you, all the episodes are directed by different directors. And the 6th one should be from the creator of the game, Neil Drakmann.
It's a great series. Isabella fit the role perfectly, and Ellie could have played it. I hope her role will be more playful. Bella is pretty in her own way, she tries, but she's not Ali.
I had one such question, I didn't watch any promos, trailers, etc. for season 2, so as not to spoil anything for myself, but there won't be any scenes of Ellie's "grandfathering" with Joel in the series, as it was in the game. or we just haven't gotten to that yet. They just removed the name of Pedro Pascal from the initial screen saver, I hope there will still be a twig.
@notahegao: We didn't get there. Episode 6, which was directed by Drakman, is supposed to be a filler episode (they promised such a series before the start of the season). They should also show the story of Eugene, who has already been mentioned more than once.
@notahegao: If I'm not mistaken, it was shown in the pre-season trailer. Ellie and Joel are walking through the woods and Ellie stops to look at the fireflies. It's from there.
So far, the best episode of the season for me! It keeps you in suspense from beginning to end, one event after another, a kaleidoscope of emotions. I just felt sorry for the guitar, I had to put it back in the case - suddenly it would be useful to someone else.
@Grimnir: It's a pity you're pregnant or Dina puking all the way. And she won't wake you up with a kiss on the neck, after spending the night with two in the front, one in the chocolate
By the way, in my opinion, you can congratulate Bella Ramsey on the first erotic scene in her life, because after the first season I watched all the movies with her that I could find, and she plays children everywhere (cap) because she was still a child, and there is maximum love, kisses. And then you can see how Bella has matured in front of our eyes, and now I understand why, on the one hand, I was happy, and on the other hand, it was painful to watch this scene - it's like in the IP scene with Arya and Gendry having sex - when they show the sex of a character who has matured in front of your eyes - feelings It's like you're spying on your younger sister's sex))) But in any case, I am happy for Bella, success in her career, I hope she will be comfortable in her new role and age), I wish her beautiful casting partners))
@Liza: In the short film Requiem, she already played a character who had sex, and also lesbian. At the time of filming, she seemed to be only 16 years old.
@Orsha111: yes, I watched Requiem, but there were no erotic scenes, there were just kisses and then a montage of how they wake up in the morning, like it's clear that they had everything, but there are no scenes with their hands in the causal places, tlou has a more mature scene.
Vibe is still like two girlfriends ran away from lessons and decided to take a walk through abandoned buildings. What kind of revenge is there, hopeless darkness, bitterness of loss and grandfather inside. This Ellie can do anything. This Ellie is not discouraged.
- I'm pregnant. - Hi pregnant. I'm Ellie.
But what I definitely liked was the episode where Ellie sacrificed her arm, and how Dina, without any hesitation, pointed a weapon at her. Yes, it's a harsh world, and she's used to the fact that bitten people are a mortal danger and there's no time for sentiment with them.
The episode is good, but why was Ellie's reaction to Dina's pregnancy altered? In the series, it doesn't matter that she drags a pregnant woman into the heat 🥴
I see a lot of dissatisfied people in the information field with the phrase "I'm going to be a dad", in the context of the fact that a woman cannot be a father, that Ellie shouldn't have said that. But it seems to me that dad refers to a person who is technically and biologically unrelated to childbirth, but at the same time involved in the upbringing and direct life of a child - as Joel was for Ellie - he was not her biological father and a man cannot give birth to a child. But at the same time, he was still a father to her, fulfilling the same role that Ellie sees herself as for Dina's child, a protective, cool father.
@Liza: then you have a question from Western reality: if two lesbians adopt a child, are they his dads too? After all, they didn't give birth). Two dads🤣
I'm wondering if admitting to pregnancy is a really sexy phrase that should be followed by such a vivid sequel... It was terribly inappropriate at this point..
@Scandias: Well, there's something about that, I agree, such an outburst of emotions. But then the characters lost again, in the game after this confession, they had a straight verbal altercation about the reasonableness of continuing their path, and then the sexies and then we'll deal with everything together. Well, it's kind of wrong for me...
@eptelizer: I have doubts about the sex gap in the post-shock, especially for Ellie, who, in fact, information about the nuances of pregnancies is generally ignored.
@Scandias: Well, everything was fine in the game in this regard, and everyone knew what was what, if in the series Ellie was deliberately asked a stupid question.This does not mean that this was the case initially.
What nonsense) if I used to watch and get mad, now I'm watching it for the sake of a frenzy and a good old cringe Bella Ramsay actually put her hand in Dina's underpants 10 seconds after she confessed to being pregnant, and Dina allowed it to be done immediately after even the immune Ellie was bitten by an infected It's just not realistic to take this series seriously anymore
A video was posted on social media comparing Ellie's reaction to the news of Dina's pregnancy. If this news terrifies Ellie in the game, then in the series she reacts with a joke about becoming a "dad."
I know that many people were infuriated by this deviation from the game, but to be honest, I don't see anything very critical in this episode yet – and it's so obvious that pregnancy against the background of the post-apocalypse will be a difficult ordeal for both of them. So why not give the girls, at least for one evening, an illusory idea that there may be some factors of joy ahead? I think it's best to judge this episode based on the next three episodes.
The hype around pregnancy undeservedly overshadowed the important scene with Ellie's immunity, which worked more emotionally than in the original game. It was a very tense moment where Dina could recklessly pull the trigger in the style of a Shakespearean tragedy. Isabela Merced removes all questions in this segment, having perfectly felt the moment. Jeffrey Wright was particularly pleased with the series, there was too much pressure on his part.
The only negative for me is that at times the series is too faithful to the original, as if it is being held hostage. The plot is very tied to the game locations: Ellie and Dina move through precisely recreated places, successively hiding, killing and running away. A viewer, even someone unfamiliar with the game, can easily declassify that the script follows gameplay logic.
However, this is not to say that dynamic scenes look bad. Rather, on the contrary, Ellie and Dina's desperate catch–up from the infected on the train is an excellent example of mature directing with a strong emphasis on cinematography. I see the problem rather not in the staging, but in a certain disconnect between locations and episodes. I can't say that it directly affects the quality of the story, but it doesn't always let the story unfold.
@Kinoculture: I also noticed homophobia on your text: I even sent it through the chat to ask if he helped you - he broke his whole forehead in swearing that he did not help)) probably, you're just being very careful, plus it was good in Russian at school.
At times, the series is too faithful to the original
It's amazing how you didn't catch the haight wave from the orthodox notidogs here, a bold punch, of course
@Kinoculture: well... A phobia is my irrational. Although "if you're paranoid, it doesn't mean that you're not being followed" - I've seen a couple of serial killers on mayshouse. In addition to caution ("sometimes", "rather ", "I think", "as if", "some "), the text also "correct" - paragraphs, turns, structure. And I thought about AI, because there are repetitions in places - but here, apparently, it's a classic - like everyone who is fond of writing (I didn't have time to write shorter)
@Sociophobe: Actually, both groups started with good intentions. It's just that those who came to power later, after those who were the founders of both movements, because of their ambitions or distorted ideas about what their group should be, led to such a deplorable result.
In fact, the series looks like a pure holop across Europe. The whole timeline is messed up. The spark wasn't blown up, although it should have been in the center of Seattle, Jordan (whose cheek was cut by Ellie during the attack on Joel) hadn't been killed yet, she hadn't found the location of Nora and all these types in the TV studio (I remember she found a set of photos there) Then, in the TV tower, she had a great opportunity to kill that man with a stealth knife, why did she start strangling him when she literally does nothing but stab everyone with a knife. Then it's crazy to put your hand in when you have a gun, even if it's not loaded, you can put it under your mouth. And of course tell Dina, Yes, of course you and I will do everything together when it comes to the mega dangerous outing of two little girls on the streets of a giant city inhabited by 3 groups of right and left military (but we will not see Phaedra in this timeline) and fucking sectarians. Plus, there's a crowd of infected people, and she's been pregnant for about a month and a half and two months, and she might have problems, but she stamped her foot, put her hands in her side, and said she'd go, well, what can we do about it? What are the patients?
@eptelizer: and in what timeline did you see PHAEDRUS there? There was only WOLF and the Scars in the game. PHAEDRA came to an end long ago in Seattle.
@Sei-sama: Well, the series showed an old timeline with Isaac's betrayal and Phaedra's departure to the WOF, so I wrote that they are not in the real timeline.
@Sei-sama: I've studied everything on purpose now, and Phaedra only turned her fishing rods away from Seattle in the same year when the action takes place. I remember from the game that the WOF constantly mentioned them as enemies, too, as if they were still nearby somewhere, but I played it on release and apparently the series got confused, but not the point at all.
@eptelizer: Just a minute, could you name the sources where you read that Phaedra left in the same year that the action takes place? Because if I remember correctly, Phaedra has been missing from Seattle for quite some time. In Hillcrest, Ellie finds notes telling the story of how the locals are unhappy with WOLF, that they (the residents) believe that WOLF is now behaving like PHAEDRA. Boris, one of the locals, is a partisan against them because they killed his daughter for graffiti. || Why I think PHAEDRUS hasn't been in Seattle for quite a while: WOLF started harassing Hillcrest residents right after they gained control of the territory. All the buildings look uninhabited. Hillcrest residents did not want to leave their homes, meaning if they had been evicted only recently, the houses would have looked better/more habitable.
In the game, I don't remember any references to Phaedrus in the present tense at all, only in the past.
@Sei-sama: I read in the last of us wiki. It said that in 2033 they finally left the big cities and settled in Boston. The actions of the 2 parts of the game also take place in 2033, so I put 2 +2 together. But I say, the series confused me a little with the mention of Phaedra, created false memories, and it says so on the real website, because I wanted to see if they were still alive as a group.
@eptelizer: Are you sure you've read about Seattle? Because I open the wiki about PHAEDRA and it says about Seattle in the plan for 2020... I don't know how to insert it under the cat, there's a pretty long paragraph. Here is the link, there from the highlighted and below https://thelastofus .fandom.com/wiki/Federal_Disaster_Response_Agency#Events_of_Part_II:~:text=By%20the%202020s,under%20their%20control.
@Sei-sama: it says, in general, they left the big cities, as I wrote above. It doesn't really matter, they're not there anyway, which is why I mentioned the timeline right away. Why keep trying to figure out who knows what?.
@eptelizer: But we won't see Phaedra in this timeline.
the phrase "in this timeline" says that somewhere there is a timeline where PHAEDRA is (since you are talking about the series, you mean that in the game). Which raised my questions. If PHAEDRUS is not in the game or in the series, then which one will we not see in this timeline? Can we talk about if she is not in principle anywhere, not in any work?
@Sei-sama: I'm sorry, do you really like talking about the same thing in a circle? The episode directly shows an old timeline with Phaedra and Isaac in the van, when he threw grenades in there and blew everything up. This is the same series, but different timelines as it was in the past. What is not clear? I'm tired of just filling in comments.
@eptelizer: Timeline is not a flashback. A timeline is a time line. It's like if someone did something in the past and things went differently, it's an alternative timeline. Fallout is an alternative timeline to our timeline. What you're talking about is a flashback, past and present. It's not called a timeline. You just got the terms mixed up. Then it's clear what you were talking about at the beginning.
@Sei-sama: timeline translates directly as a timeline, flashback is a memory. When a character is at a moment when his feelings need to be reinforced with something from the past, we are shown this in the form of a flashback. And the timeline is not supported by the feelings of the characters, it's just an addition to the overall picture. Why would a timeline be about an alternate time? No. Do you know from the TV series Hornets? There, the story is told in two TIMELINES, not FLASHBACKS, because the story is about the same people, young and adult. What are you talking about?
@eptelizer: No, these are not the two timelines that you described. These are two time periods (past and future). The timeline, as you said, is a line. This is not a segment. It's a continuous line. Two timelines are when events develop in parallel. If the events are shown in the past and the future, then this is not parallel, but sequential. They are simply ** shown** in parallel for the viewer, but they occur sequentially. Timeline is not a term for indicating the viewer's perspective. If you take a documentary about the Devonian and Triassic periods of the Earth, you will get two epochs on the same timeline. No matter how you show them in the story, they happened consistently. It's the same here, the action takes place at different times, not in different timelines.
Right now they're throwing stones at me, but how fucked up is this whole Lesbian story in the TV series, especially the sex shots of these two heroines, it looks disgusting, not beautiful and not romantic at all. I'm not against all these LGBT people, but I would like it to be on the topic, and not because you need to push this movement, it looks artificial.
@id165383750: you're contradicting yourself. "I'm sick of this lesbian theme in TV shows and 'I'm not against LGBT people.' If you don't like intimate scenes, then you don't like any intimate scenes, and it doesn't matter if you're LGBT or not.
@harderprovider: I like beautiful and appropriate sex scenes, but this one is not. And I have nothing against LGBT people, I don't poison them, but I don't see any point in putting them in every series for no reason. There are episodes where it looks beautiful and organic, and there are where it's not really necessary, not appropriate and spoils the whole picture.
I didn't play the game, the first season was still kind of normal, but the second season is fucking torture, you hope that now there will be something cool that will catch, but there are no stupid jokes, one girl is just from a beauty salon, another tram ran over, I'm pregnantI'm pregnant."#34; Come on, fuck... Game in the style of pregnant at 16
How quickly the series has descended into shit. All this senseless drudgery is reminiscent of the worst seasons of the Walkers, but if they began to slide in season 7, then here, already in the final episode of the first season, they began to gallop across Europe and reached the point of complete absurdity. They go somewhere, they chat about something, but it doesn't arouse any emotions or interest from the word at all... I think many have already dropped, judging by the meager number of ratings and ratings of episodes on imdb compared to last season, some more will drop after the remaining three (Karl!) the series, so the third season will surely be made even more to waste, and the story will end with nothing, just like the aforementioned long-suffering Walkers.
@Walter_White: The series won't go anywhere. If Drakeman turned the legendary game into a legend about barbels, and not the finding of a daughter by a lost man. The second part of the game ends very quickly, plot-wise, and is based only on the gameplay and the cool work of the designers. In the series, there is hope for some kind of action, because there is no further plot, only the trans-Lisbon highway.
@SadPin: And don't tell me, it looked really nasty. As we wrote above, it's not even about the lesbian scene as such, it can be presented appropriately and beautifully, but in this case it's just dirt out of the blue, ugh.
@SadPin: When I looked at it, I thought, "Your hands are all smeared with mushroom picker's saliva after a bite, and you, fool, they hit the very pulp!" Contact with the mucous membrane, that's it... Then I came here, read the admiring comments, and realized that we had clearly lost something.
@Hidji: at least her bite was treated and bandaged. If after every encounter with mushrooms they show how they wash their hands, we will only look at sanitary treatments. These things happen off-screen by default.
🤮Ugh, the stinking scum killed the series completely with this lesbian🤦♂️when will we burn all these LGBT people because they are not needed for humanity in procreation🤮😂
And where!? Where is the piece of the game in the series where ELLIE is taken hostage and DINA saves her by falling from the glass roof!? It seems to me that one of the important moments was, and then everything was cut out in the series.
Where are the scenes of the girlfriends opening the gates to the city and suffering with electricity!? They had such lovely dialogues in the game. But what about the scenes of how they took a big location and talked sweetly!? But what about the Bank where they got the holster!? We've been robbed of a lot of cute scenes.,
Are you serious? Are you serious? What kind of nonsense am I going to be a dad? Where is the desperation when she considers Dina a burden, where is that beautiful stationary passage where they quickly make decisions the moment Ellie admits that she is pregnant. What nonsense. For what? Where is that unbridled motivation! For what? Just for what?
I haven't played and I don't know anything about the game. Mostly I'm bored and not interested. It doesn't touch much. I just look at episode after episode and think, well, yeah, it must have been cool to play the game, immerse myself in this world. But just as a series, it's so weak.
Can someone explain why the infected look so polished? A dude with a shaved beard, clean clothes and no signs of dirt and infection burst into the glass of the car. It's been a long time, they should rot and decompose minimally, and even if it's a fresh convert, why is he such a well-groomed groom? Was there any explanation for this in the game? I just don't remember it personally.
I'm terribly sorry, but for the second episode I've been tormented by one question: why did they take one horse? I've heard their explanation about mobility and a small number of things, but it's not super logical. Wouldn't it be better to take two horses in case one gets hurt or killed? If you need to split up? At the very least, it can be used as food (which would be very sad). Why put them both on the same horse? By the way, it's quite difficult to fight like this, unless it's to create artificial situations for intimacy. Because the chemistry between them is zero. Even between Joel and Dina, there was more of it than there was here. Maybe someone knows what the joke is?
@MarinaG: ///I'm terribly sorry, but for the second episode I've been tormented by one question: why did they take one horse?///
As we know who said, this is such a special California apocalypse.
If you feel like it. In ancient times, at least two horses went on a campaign. Two horses per person. And some dodgers managed to take SIX!
But another question torments me. I don't know anything. But such a rifle, with optics, can be carried like that? In a holster like that, on a horse, aiming down?
@Citokos: They said about the horse - we'll take one, it's more economical. In ancient times, a horse had to carry a rider, or even in armor, or a large load. And here there are two virgos, each weighing 40-45 kilograms... In theory, it is possible... I didn't quite understand where they got the tent from, I probably fell asleep on the way.
About the rifle - you can carry it))) whether it will be possible to accurately fire it later is another matter.
It's useless to look for logic in the series, let's put 4 flamethrowers on the ground in the middle of the street, let their snappers stupidly trample them. Let's build a wall, but why make a fence of inclined stakes in front of it, so that the snappers would run into them and some of them would die, and some would slow down so that it would be more convenient for us to shoot at them, and not have to hang over and shoot under the walls... Dig a moat??? It was only in the dark Ages that they did this. We are not like that in this city, we are all bright optimists here! )
@Citokos: why they didn't take two or even six is more or less understandable: resources are limited, but one horse for two in such a situation haunts me (
@Mehabr: There is a misconception about horses. Even one person with a minimum of luggage preferred to travel alone on a long journey if there was no opportunity to change horses at postal stations, in inns or elsewhere on the way. To change on the way. One horse under constant load requires additional care and much more time to rest/feed. She sweats more and needs to be cleaned more often. The saddle can chafe from regular exertion, and this is another problem. In short, traveling very long distances with one horse for two is hardly faster than walking. Nowadays, some people only had horseback rides in parks, and most of them only saw horses from afar). That's why they think it's okay))).
Dina sees in the game that Ellie broke the gas mask in the room with the spores. Dina is ready to risk her life for Ellie and practically takes off her mask to give it to Ellie.
In the series, Dina is ready to shoot Ellie immediately after the bite.
And sometimes they say it's been 5 years, 11 years. Is it since the beginning of the apocalypse? I just thought at first that Abby had been looking for Joel for 5 years, that is, she walked for 5 years from Seattle to the town where Joel hangs out, and then I saw that Ellie and her Toto were only 14 km away from Seattle, and they were on the road for 2 days... And the next episode begins with the inscription "11 years have passed", while Ellie and Toto are still young, overweight, and Toto even has makeup on.
Another teen soap about lesbian girls (The series didn't shine anyway, even if Pedro dragged it, and now what? Is anyone interested in this? If you want zombies, watch the walking teen drama Elite and it's not clear that
Viber: Two girlfriends went out for a walk in a city filled with zombies. Otherwise, I rather like fleeing from zombies, although I still have the feeling that I'm watching events on some kind of fast-forward. I don't know how it was in the game, but everything is either fast or served up in some kind of scenes.
Discussion of the 4 episode of the 2 season Discuss this episode
347-i don't know, maybe they were all optimists.
Dina, of course, found the testicle very easily, yes, no one understood, no one understood :-)
-He taught you well
-He did.
The series is, of course, very morbid and quite violent, and it also keeps you in suspense all the time. that moment where they were hiding from the wolves, that moment on the train. The vinegar scene is very unexpected, quite an interesting departure from the game..... No, I wrote it exactly BEFORE she said she was pregnant.... I just wanted to praise that in the series, the fact that Ellie is famous was shown much better and this is the most important big reveal that came to the fore, but EXACTLY at this moment Dina decides to throw a pregnant bomb... Sister, please.... It's okay, the game was also bad in this regard, and even worse.
from what I can tell, in general, the chemistry between Ellie and Dina is felt, indeed the moment when she thought about shooting her was very difficult and you really believe in what she feels.
.. How much water did she drink?...
So let's get this straight, I anticipate a lot of negative comments about the whole relationship between Ellie and Dina and how much more explicit they are in the series, BUT! FIRSTLY, it's shown really plausibly; secondly, well, we all knew everything from the game; thirdly, it's even cute, and they even discussed the fact that she was pregnant and decided to divorce Ellie rather than stay safe. You've earned respect
© Kvashonkin's stand-up
the game: -I'm pregnant, don't worry, it's not from you;
And then there's such a reaction, as if she really is dad) Agatha's affair with Rio continues
Well, that's just not true.
is not canon, I'm not watching anymore
Actually, Ellie's reaction was very sweet
"we're having a baby! ..(jokingly) Isn't that Jesse's baby? You, Jessie, and I are going to have a baby! I'm going to be a dad!!"
As the main fan of the Jackson trio, I'm going to die from the images in my head where the THREE of them are raising a child
, you can make a sitcom about it.
But in one shot, she just pulls the bass string with her thumb, and the rest of her fingers don't move. It's strange, if she can play the guitar, to insert such a blunder into the finished series.
In the game, the prophetess is depicted in numerous drawings in Seattle, and these drawings, in my opinion, resemble the appearance of Handrahan.
Yes, my theory is that if you study the ENT of the game, you may not connect with it in places, but the creators of the series may well redo the ENT for themselves by changing the details, as they have done repeatedly.
Anyone who has a gun is probably called a human voter. But that's probably what they say in FEDRA. They are, in fact, an analogue of the new legitimate government after the beginning of the apocalypse. FEDRA sort of protects people, gives them jobs and food, but at the same time completely deprived them of their rights. Military dictatorship. Hence the nickname - the voters. And the WLF was originally something like rebels who disagree with the dictatorship. But in fact, this is a battle between a toad and a viper, one dictatorship will replace another.
It was FEDRA soldiers who were in the truck, and they were the ones who called the civilians voters, but they also mentioned the WLF, meaning that at that time the rebels already existed, but they had not yet been led by Isaac.
@Nemez11: there was also such a theory at first, but the trailer for the new series refutes it.
The trailer can often be misleading. You think these are shots from the present, but they're from the past.
On the contrary, I was even more convinced that Handrakhan is the prophet of Scars, and not the random woman from the beginning of the last episode. They pay too much attention to her. But we'll see soon enough. Maybe I'm really wrong and I'm just putting an owl on a globe. It's just a theory.
@Nemez11: Handrahan says in the trailer "If it's war again we're gonna need all the soldiers we have.""Again " means a new one after PHAEDRUS. So it seems to me that it's not a flashback after all. And then who knows, we'll see!
And if Ellie fights the Rat King instead of Abby, it will be a complete failure. It was an allegory of Abby's emotions and inner state. You can't just change that, imo.||
About "there was " The Rat King was there from the very beginning. He didn't show up afterwards. This is a huge mass of infected people who fused into one after they were locked in this department. It was at the very beginning of the apocalypse. But it was formed gradually, of course, but not for so long that no one noticed it before the events of the series. Therefore, we can say that Handrakhan conducts the interrogation in a flashback, but then who is the war with?
Actually, in the game during the passage of Ellie, we hear the Rat King, and Abby directly meets him face-to-face.
I liked almost all the deviations from the game this season, but the pregnancy moment turned out to be a bit too positive, although in fact it's at the wrong fucking time and makes everything much more difficult.
As expected, 7 episodes is very small, hbo has pushed themselves into the frame and now we see the results. We mixed everything that is possible in the episode.
And what happens to the color sensor is that it is bright, then super dark, it is almost invisible.
Bella max miskat continues to annoy in all aspects, absolutely nothing is felt in her game. Anyone who continues to believe that something will change, I am sorry for you.
Isabela drags the entire series after Pedro is gone.
It doesn't even make sense to compare it with the game anymore, everything looks bad even from the point of view of a regular TV series.
Kung fu from Elia is just a hand)))
I give her 10 cardiceps out of 10.
I liked the joke about the rainbow)
Jeffrey Wright🦾
I also suspect that it's the song and the band I love a-ha and all their songs 🥲 always nostalgia eh
Even the first season was generally good, but what happened in the second is unclear. Maybe they brought in Ramsay so that the criticism of the cast would overshadow the many other silly moments in the series?
And maybe it was better that way. And then, for some reason, the scars were shown ahead of time. They screwed up a potentially cool action-packed episode in which the viewer would have been as lost as Ellie. They also showed these cultists as victims that their children are being killed for minor offenses.
Playing Dina was very non-emotional for me, as Bella shows herself in the role of Ellie.
But the game Ellie was just charged with emotions, just like the serial Dina does!)
1) I smiled at Dina's joke about Ellie's joint with Luke. There was a brain ulcer for a minor ulcer.
2) The frying pan moment is creepy, I'm too empathic for torture scenes. But that's why I love TLOU.
3) There is also a moment with hangmen and a scene of stealth and strangulation (the players probably smiled nostalgically at this moment). Chief kiss, it was good👌
4) It's hard to imagine how hard it was for Dina when Ellie was bitten: her beloved is in danger of death - and you have to do it yourself, because otherwise she will turn and attack, but there is hope that the words about immunity were not a lie and that everything will work out... So that's why the bed scene was delayed: so that Dina wouldn't have any reason to be interested in Ellie's scars, and Ellie wouldn't have to talk about immunity. 😁
5) With the bed scene itself and the way Dina immediately told me about her pregnancy, imho, it came out too abruptly and awkwardly, I felt like a child who caught a bed scene while watching TV with her parents. There was also a scene with flags, "optimistic people lived here" although it was funny, it looked somehow completely detached from the atmosphere.
6) But the scene where Dina shows the pregnancy test, saying " and more, and more, and Ellie listens, saying, "what kind of tests are these anyway, I only know math tests (which, imho, in the nature of the character, I don't think anyone told her about it) - it was sweet and funny 😄
In short, I rather liked the series than not. It's dynamic, sometimes creepy, sometimes a little awkward, but still very good. 50 minutes flew by like 5.
p.s. I forgot: the moment with take on me is wonderful, I already shed tears. Bella, may her haters forgive me, has a pleasant voice. Yes, maybe the acting isn't 10/10, but I still enjoy watching her with Dina. It's a pity Joel won't see his daughter follow in his footsteps by becoming not a biological father, but a father. 😁💕
@AkellbINetvJivix: If you're talking about the events from the game, then you've played/watched the walkthroughs on YouTube, and you're surprised by Joel's murder, the lesbian storyline, and the eerily banal revenge arc."?
Are we watching the same TV series?"
Are you playing the same game as the others? Or did you think the series would play out the main points of the plot differently?
Pointed the gun, "I'm pregnant," had sex 🤝🏻
It's a bit of a cringe at the end of the episode.
Then, at the end, they took up these pens, well, somehow about nothing at all. 😁
but generally speaking, when it comes to the plot, I don't like the way it's being presented this season at all. I partly put this idea in my comment above.
It's even strange that it was leaked so quickly. Apparently, they just asked to make a cameo on acquaintance) or asked for it himself
Personally, I just rewind the sex scenes, which is also a problem for me.
Of course, the plot itself is developing dynamically, which is encouraging.
Once again, we are shown by all sides of the conflict that there is no black and white.
And a dude who seems to betray his own people and goes over to the side of the resistance doesn't seem like such a traitor to us based on his words in the car?
Yes, with us and with Jessie😅
It so happened that I saw two scenes from this series in the game version: the scene about immunity and the guitar.In the first case, I had goosebumps from the plot with masks in the game and what kind of Ellie and Dina are there, but here with the bite it's no worse. That crazy fright in the eyes of Dina and Ellie, who didn't even think there would be a question about Bae.
Well, the Take on me scene shattered me. Playing Ellie was singing somewhere out there, even to herself, I would say, right there it was right from the bottom of my heart, sincere and straight to the recipient of a very beautiful moment. Isabela and Bella are a wonderful duet that perfectly complement and look harmoniously together, despite all the shit-pouring 💘🥹
Capitol Hill🥹 Yes, girls, optimists lived there🌈🏳️🌈
As for the second line with Isaac and the scars. I do not know anything about them at all, who is worse, who is better. But the guy who was tortured aroused in me a great sense of respect, even in such a terrible way, unlike this same torturer and the kid from the beginning of the series.
And then, for some reason, the attack on Jackson was parallel + Abby told her whole story at once.
Dina is so beautiful that I miss the plot while admiring her.
In the game, Ellie was obsessed with revenge and her mission, and when Dina told her she was pregnant, she called her a burden. Here, hooray, I'm going to be a dad. If the series finale coincides with the game finale, then I don't understand how they will lead the heroine to her choice, because now she stupidly lacks motivation in her actions.
such thoughts haven't left my mind since the beginning of the second season.
my character of the serial Ellie doesn't add up at all, first some kind of fake cruelty with Joel, then susipusi with Dina - revenge seemed to fade into the background.
Here, Ellie was made softer and more normal, so to speak.
in the game, you could see the madness in one look, you knew that Ellie was fucked
irrevocably, and there was a strain and drama in it. that she's bent on revenge and won't stop at anything. and there was confidence in her actions that she would kill anyone.
here, all this has been twisted as much as possible, and there is no worry even for them.
I understand why game content is being cut off. But it can be done better than it is now. And so it turns out, some kind of fragmented plot, without the motivation of the characters, it is not visible at all.
Bella is cool, and I think her Ellie is more charming than a playful one. More human somehow.
The shelf life of the pregnancy test is 2.5 years. The epidemic began in 2003, and now the year is 2033. That is, 20 years have passed... doubtful, well okey
I guess I'm glad I didn't play the game. Because there are a lot of comments about what was wrong in the game and it was better this way. Less expectations, less disappointments 🙂
The cycle of revenge and violence in the war is well illustrated. Both sides believe that they were forced, and now they can kill children.
I feel like I'm going to replay the second part of the game after this season.
Like, they just told you about immunity. and you didn't even ask who else knows about it/how it happened/when you found out about it yourself. It's really interesting. but no, let's talk about pregnancy instead)))
I didn't like at all that the focus was shifted to this.
they made it special in the game, there was always the fear that someone would burn down Ellie's immune system, and here…
I like it much more than the game version)
It's actually a cool episode, but I'm still waiting for Abby's side to be shown more. And when will that happen?
Have you heard any rumors, what was the reason that Goblin and K`denigrated the series Fallout? Releasing videos, like this - for seven months!!!
"Who will pay for it? And they always pay." (c)
Red cynic, goblin and ixbt. The triune holy dump.
In general, it's fun to read such comments from fans of very strange cases, some of us and other female propaganda trash. Before you accuse someone of having different tastes, look in the mirror and ask yourself: are you out of your mind and is your brain completely swollen with soy? 😂
Okay, I accepted Dina in this episode solely because of the 2 minutes of romance. And she even shed a tear on the morning stage (okay, a couple of tears).
But it's still clear that they have a very small budget for big plans. The masks on the nutcrackers are clearly visible (it didn't seem for the first time in episode 1, really, cheap makeup, which was covered with lighting).
Well, of course, a lot of moments were JUST mercilessly leaked. Let's not even follow the canon (let's just forget about it), but accept the pregnancy of a girl so calmly, with whom you had only one night? Wtf?
By the way, the cupcake scene was clearly filmed by a man, because no one in their right mind would climb into the closet when you just got off the subway, dirty as pigs (even after being bitten).
In general, yes, it's all VERY frustrating. I appreciated how we were given a couple of minutes of romance (so that we would forget about how the plot was mercilessly drained). I have zero questions about the performance of the actresses, they do a great job. There are questions for the directors. Because of all this, the overall background of the series is weak.
There is a lack of this sincerity, the very thread that was built between Dina and Ellie. And you literally got into it while you were playing. And here it's like they've thrown lumps of dough into a pile.…
Episode 7/10 (+2 points for sesbian Lex, we don't need much to be happy!)
(Bella, call me… 🤙🏻)
I can't get enough of it.
At the forty-ninth minute, everything was supposed to end, everyone went home and live happily ever after. I feel like it's going to get tougher and tougher.
||P.S. Long live lesbian separatism /|
Is she really pregnant🥲
But I really smiled at the moment with "We're going to have a baby! Well...Us and Jessie"
Bella also has a beautiful voice.
🎶Taaake ooon meee, take on me
Taaake meee ooon🎶
Ellie doesn't have the right emotions. Where is the pain of Joel's recent death? Where is the anger of the man who decided to take revenge? I only see a teenager in love, on a camping trip.
And in my opinion, it's not even Bella's fault that she conveys emotions in a wrong way, but the scriptwriters who prescribed the plot for her.
I just felt sorry for the guitar, I had to put it back in the case - suddenly it would be useful to someone else.
But in any case, I am happy for Bella, success in her career, I hope she will be comfortable in her new role and age), I wish her beautiful casting partners))
- I'm pregnant.
- Hi pregnant. I'm Ellie.
But what I definitely liked was the episode where Ellie sacrificed her arm, and how Dina, without any hesitation, pointed a weapon at her. Yes, it's a harsh world, and she's used to the fact that bitten people are a mortal danger and there's no time for sentiment with them.
Bella Ramsay actually put her hand in Dina's underpants 10 seconds after she confessed to being pregnant, and Dina allowed it to be done immediately after even the immune Ellie was bitten by an infected
It's just not realistic to take this series seriously anymore
Dina is just a SWEETHEART))
I have all
I know that many people were infuriated by this deviation from the game, but to be honest, I don't see anything very critical in this episode yet – and it's so obvious that pregnancy against the background of the post-apocalypse will be a difficult ordeal for both of them. So why not give the girls, at least for one evening, an illusory idea that there may be some factors of joy ahead? I think it's best to judge this episode based on the next three episodes.
The hype around pregnancy undeservedly overshadowed the important scene with Ellie's immunity, which worked more emotionally than in the original game. It was a very tense moment where Dina could recklessly pull the trigger in the style of a Shakespearean tragedy. Isabela Merced removes all questions in this segment, having perfectly felt the moment. Jeffrey Wright was particularly pleased with the series, there was too much pressure on his part.
The only negative for me is that at times the series is too faithful to the original, as if it is being held hostage. The plot is very tied to the game locations: Ellie and Dina move through precisely recreated places, successively hiding, killing and running away. A viewer, even someone unfamiliar with the game, can easily declassify that the script follows gameplay logic.
However, this is not to say that dynamic scenes look bad. Rather, on the contrary, Ellie and Dina's desperate catch–up from the infected on the train is an excellent example of mature directing with a strong emphasis on cinematography. I see the problem rather not in the staging, but in a certain disconnect between locations and episodes. I can't say that it directly affects the quality of the story, but it doesn't always let the story unfold.
@Kinoculture: I also noticed homophobia on your text: I even sent it through the chat to ask if he helped you - he broke his whole forehead in swearing that he did not help)) probably, you're just being very careful, plus it was good in Russian at school.
It's amazing how you didn't catch the haight wave from the orthodox notidogs here, a bold punch, of course
Then, in the TV tower, she had a great opportunity to kill that man with a stealth knife, why did she start strangling him when she literally does nothing but stab everyone with a knife.
Then it's crazy to put your hand in when you have a gun, even if it's not loaded, you can put it under your mouth.
And of course tell Dina, Yes, of course you and I will do everything together when it comes to the mega dangerous outing of two little girls on the streets of a giant city inhabited by 3 groups of right and left military (but we will not see Phaedra in this timeline) and fucking sectarians. Plus, there's a crowd of infected people, and she's been pregnant for about a month and a half and two months, and she might have problems, but she stamped her foot, put her hands in her side, and said she'd go, well, what can we do about it?
What are the patients?
@eptelizer: Just a minute, could you name the sources where you read that Phaedra left in the same year that the action takes place? Because if I remember correctly, Phaedra has been missing from Seattle for quite some time. In Hillcrest, Ellie finds notes telling the story of how the locals are unhappy with WOLF, that they (the residents) believe that WOLF is now behaving like PHAEDRA. Boris, one of the locals, is a partisan against them because they killed his daughter for graffiti. || Why I think PHAEDRUS hasn't been in Seattle for quite a while: WOLF started harassing Hillcrest residents right after they gained control of the territory. All the buildings look uninhabited. Hillcrest residents did not want to leave their homes, meaning if they had been evicted only recently, the houses would have looked better/more habitable.
In the game, I don't remember any references to Phaedrus in the present tense at all, only in the past.
@eptelizer:
But we won't see Phaedra in this timeline.
the phrase "in this timeline" says that somewhere there is a timeline where PHAEDRA is (since you are talking about the series, you mean that in the game). Which raised my questions. If PHAEDRUS is not in the game or in the series, then which one will we not see in this timeline? Can we talk about if she is not in principle anywhere, not in any work?
@eptelizer: No, these are not the two timelines that you described. These are two time periods (past and future). The timeline, as you said, is a line. This is not a segment. It's a continuous line. Two timelines are when events develop in parallel. If the events are shown in the past and the future, then this is not parallel, but sequential. They are simply ** shown** in parallel for the viewer, but they occur sequentially. Timeline is not a term for indicating the viewer's perspective. If you take a documentary about the Devonian and Triassic periods of the Earth, you will get two epochs on the same timeline. No matter how you show them in the story, they happened consistently. It's the same here, the action takes place at different times, not in different timelines.
Besides, she has two of them! ;-D
Where are the scenes of the girlfriends opening the gates to the city and suffering with electricity!? They had such lovely dialogues in the game. But what about the scenes of how they took a big location and talked sweetly!? But what about the Bank where they got the holster!? We've been robbed of a lot of cute scenes.,
What kind of nonsense am I going to be a dad?
Where is the desperation when she considers Dina a burden, where is that beautiful stationary passage where they quickly make decisions the moment Ellie admits that she is pregnant. What nonsense. For what? Where is that unbridled motivation! For what? Just for what?
What a ridiculous conversation between Ellie and Dina
"I'm pregnant."
It's a mega cringe moment.
And then where did she wash her hands, etc. 🤨
- I'm an imuna
"I'm pregnant."
- Hooray, we're playing grope where's the baby
-Teeeeeeik ooooon miiiiiii
(TV series for shit-eaters))
Was there any explanation for this in the game? I just don't remember it personally.
Maybe someone knows what the joke is?
As we know who said, this is such a special California apocalypse.
If you feel like it. In ancient times, at least two horses went on a campaign. Two horses per person. And some dodgers managed to take SIX!
But another question torments me. I don't know anything. But such a rifle, with optics, can be carried like that? In a holster like that, on a horse, aiming down?
About the rifle - you can carry it))) whether it will be possible to accurately fire it later is another matter.
It's useless to look for logic in the series, let's put 4 flamethrowers on the ground in the middle of the street, let their snappers stupidly trample them. Let's build a wall, but why make a fence of inclined stakes in front of it, so that the snappers would run into them and some of them would die, and some would slow down so that it would be more convenient for us to shoot at them, and not have to hang over and shoot under the walls... Dig a moat??? It was only in the dark Ages that they did this. We are not like that in this city, we are all bright optimists here! )
In the series, Dina is ready to shoot Ellie immediately after the bite.
What happens next is kind of surreal.
TV series of the year, no other way
It's certainly strong.
