[Ezekiel 25:17]

Finished the first series of 1923, enjoyable but every single scene the blonde woman is in i just want to fast forward it, spent far, far too much time on their story arc.

Yeah, she got on my tit end.

 

The whole getting from Africa back to Montana saga bored me to tears and they're still not there yet!

Absolutely ridiculous isn't it.

The Last of Us series finale was great.

It's slow, not a great deal happens from episode to episode really, but I really like it.  The cold opening to this episode was fantastic.

[TD_LFC]

But equally a lot happens, it's just on a really small scale that impacts two people and the people who are dragged into their orbit instead of these mass events we're used to.

 

Is the house in the cold open the house from the second game, looks very similar with the tractor in the paddock.

I think they've rushed the series too much.

Can't think of anything they've left out to be honest, the only bit's you aren't getting in the series are the gameplay/puzzle solving bits which are usually the focus, and downfall, of other game adaptations.

 

They maybe could have expanded on Ish's storyline but that would have all been exposition so how they covered it in Ep5 seemed ok.

 

Beyond that it would have been lots of shooting infected in tunnels or building over and over.

Does the TV series end in the same way as the game? I really don't remember it ending like that but I played it once when it came out years ago.

I feel some of the character interactions could of went more than one episode per person and situation, they also could of done more of Joel and Ellie fighting infected and their bond growing, everything just felt rushed especially the last episode. Kind of like game of thrones where the first few series was story and character building and then the last two series they just ploughed through it to get it done.

[TD_LFC]

Guess it's a balance between making it too long by extending what are brief interactions in game or keeping it true to the story, a few characters are given extended billing the Bill and Frank stuff is given far more screen time than we get in the game and even the Joel and Tommy stuff is slightly longer (or confined to Jackson rather than played out over a search and shootout sequence like it is in the game).

 

Lots of meat in the second game so wouldn't be surprised if that's played out over a longer season or split in two.

[Carvalho Diablo]

Enjoyed it, in a 7/10 sort of way.

[Arniepie]

You season 4

Absolutely crackers

7/10

[polymerpunkah]

Throughout I was most intrigued by the last location: what was happening there, how it was set up, what they were going to do with Ellie when she got there. And then bang it's all over.

 

Could have used two episodes to cover it.

 

7/10 for me as well.

The first game was never about the wider world it's just about Joel and Ellie and there relationship as they move through it, the cure, whether it's possible or what the fire flies would have done with it is largely inconsequential.

 

Part 2 opens that up and gives you more on what impact Ellie and Joel have on the world, how these various groups survive and the logistics of it.

Good to know, thanks.

Just a shame internet weirdos will hate it.

I am glad I'm never going to watch the Last of Us considering the amount of spoilers on here about it.

You're not missing much.

The programme last night about the search for the Erebus and its fateful search for the Northwest passage was good, what a horror those men must of endured. Also witness accounts by the Inuits proved correct.Grim.

The first series of The Terror is about Franklin's expedition, a really good watch although it does go a bit heavily into the supernatural/ delusional aspect. It used to be on BBC iPlayer, but it looks like only the shit second series- that has nothing to do with the first- is there now.

[easytoslip]

I seen some of that and it was OK but yes it got a bit to far fetched with the monster shit etc but watchable.

I don't think I'll even bother to watch the last episode. It's just fucking dull.

They left England accepting the fact that they were going to spend at least one winter trapped on what was, effectively, the surface of the moon.

 

Madness.

[easytoslip]

Yes ,fuck that. Though there's plenty of people that done the same in those days of exploration, crazy.
