I agree, still good but a lotta FF.

Anyone watched The Magicians?
They had a similar episode.

In the game, Bill and Frank were defined as "partners," although it was never made clear whether they might be just partners in surviving the apocalypse together or romantic partners. After getting tired of Bill's ways, Frank leaves him and Lincoln, the town in which they spent 20 years together. Frank's story has a tragic end, as he takes his own life after getting infected and leaves a note for Bill that reads, "I guess you were right. Trying to leave this town will kill me. Still better than spending another day with you."

Episodes 2 - 3

Watched these last night before going bed.

Episode 2 played out pretty good. Going back to when the first infection started in Indonesia was interesting. The reaction of that doctor to what she saw showed how serious this infection was.

Joe, Tess and the girl making their way out thru Boston also played out well with the visuals of how destructive the virus was and how the Government reacted. We got to see the infected in full action and they played the suspense leading up to it well. The action with the infection took it a step above with what the “Walking Dead” has done. We should start seeing this year the future Walking Dead content go in the direction this series is taking.

Episode 3 had Joe give Ellie a history lesson on what was going on. The flashback with the Black lady/baby was pretty chilling following what Joe had said.

We met Bill the survivorlist/conspiracy nut. I loved how that cat was prepped up. The only thing that made no sense was him having his house located there along with having that loud big ass diesel generator in his backyard. He should be on Solar.

I haven’t played the game, curious to know what the point of his character was in the game and how it played out.

Going to let a couple episodes stack up again before watching.

It's been awhile since I last played the game.

In the game, we really don't get to "meet" Frank. Bill is also more jaded and wild. I don't think they were lovers in the game, just referred to as partners. Frank had already struck out on his own and left Bill by the time you get to the town in the game. While out looking for a truck battery, Bill, Joel and Ellie later find Frank's corpse in a seriously infected part of town. He had gotten bitten and killed himself. He also left a letter to Bill telling him how much he hated him and to fuck off.

Only took them 3 episodes to add a gay kiss. At least they showed a random Black woman first. I don't think she had any lines, but now there's some gay guys so their quota is met 3 episodes in

It's funny that you gave absolutely no context to your question and everyone knew exactly what your question was talking about
It was gay but it was a hell of an episode
It was. A gay survivalist. Isn't that one helluva oxymoron
no buts no homo... couldn't really get into the homosexuality too much for me
I didn't look at the kissing. Turned away from that shit. I got the connection though.

Didn't play the game so I don't know if that's how it went down on the game, but I wonder how much more gay shit they're going to force feed us.

Can it be some cute lipstick lesbians kissing instead?

Too much detail on the gay shit. Then you see all these articles praising it as the best episode in TV :smh::smh:... Really? You want every episode on every show on TV to be just like this? The media is so full of shit


I fast forwarded through the gay shit but I can't say that I was super moved by the ep. Even if the homo shit wasn't there. The show does justice to the classic game. That's about that.

Literally just started watching this tonight. Was decent but won't be watching again due to hearing reports of random fag shit injected into the show for no reason. I'm good. I will no longer support that gay agenda bullshit.
