“After this week’s episode, we know Gail has at least one opening in her schedule!” This really made me laugh. Thank you.
Tbh the Jackson assault felt more video game-y than almost anything the games do! But it was spectacular (in the “what a spectacle” sense), which was kind of fun and an ironic twist on a zombie story that prides itself on being “grounded.”
I am personally bummed that they have been so forward and expositional with Abby, especially in THAT scene. But Dever is really doing a lot of great work with the character and the script just the same.
I’m excited to see how the rest of the show goes! As someone who loves the games, I feel like I get the best of both worlds—I get to enjoy the changes they’ve made in the show that I think really work, and I can always fall back on the games for the moments the show doesn’t quite land.
I can see that, but I think it’s a bit too early in the story for me to write off the different storytelling approach here vs the game. I’m interested to see how the show handles Ellie’s visit to Seattle.
Oh for sure! I’m very curious to see how they handle the rest of it, especially where they cut it off this season(maybe the hospital scene or, Abby and Ellie’s first confrontation?). Will definitely be curious to see if they do Abby’s POV next season too.
Definitely am still enjoying it overall, I like Isabella Merced’s Dina a lot.

I understand why they reworked Abby’s story, but I think the structure of the game will be hard to outdo.
Still, Dever is really good, so I have hope that the rest of that part of the story will continue to be as emotionally impactful.
It’s an enjoyable adaptation, but I think the changes have so far been misguided. It’s overall less oppressive and I miss the structure of the game.

She's great, looking forward to her having more screen time!
