Through the Valley

There are no words to describe how phenomenal the execution of this episode is.

We all knew what was coming, and it's still executed in an extraordinary, unforgettable way.

The addition of Jackson really elevates the episode beyond its potential before.

And of course... the scene.

Five years of knowing what was going to happen here and I still cried like a baby again.

Amazing!

One of the best episodes we've seen on television in recent years, and maybe ever. I wish I could watch it without knowing what would happen, and yet - it didn't take away from the intensity of the experience I had.

This episode was absolutely phenomenal, easily a 10/10. The pacing was perfect, and the emotional weight hit hard in all the right places. Bella ramsey delivered an incredible performance, capturing every subtle nuance of their character's pain and growth. Pedro pascal, as alwys, was outstanding. His presence alone adds so much depth to every scene.

The dream scene added so much emotional richness and context, making the story even more compelling. The scene at the end (no spoilers!) genuinely left me speechless. It was raw, gut-wrenching, and brilliantly executed

visually, the episode was stunning. The attention to detail in the environment, lighting, and cinematography made the world feel more alive and immersive. The music, too, was perfectly timed and emotionally resonant (i loved the ashley johnson cameo at the end!)

if the rest of the season maintains this level of quality, it might surpass season 1 and even be slightly better than the game.

Episode 1 of Season 2 was a solid though largely sedate affair. It was clearly there to set the scene rather than move the plot forward in a big way or provide much action. With background to two sub-plots provided I expected these sub-plots to come to fruition over the remainder of the season.

Turns out we didn't have to wait long for stuff to get real.

Episode 2 is an absolute humdinger of an episode, quite the most action-packed, drama-packed episode of the show so far. No gradual buildup to a season climax, this feels like a season finale there's so much going on, and so much finality in some respects.

Such is the outcome of the episode there are a multitude of plot-lines open to the series, making the next episode very intriguing.

Note: I haven't played the game nor have any inkling of the plot, before this episode aired or from here on out, so my views are entirely based on what has happened thus far in the TV show, not on any other sources.

This is the second time (or maybe third) that I see a tv show episode that is 10 out of 10.

And after many, many years, this is a 10 out of 10 episode. Pure perfection!

Game of Thrones "spoils of war" and "hard home" was two perfect episodes.

Today I saw a one hour episode that was sooo good that it felt like ten minutes.

I will for sure watch this episode many times, over and over.

This was so good! Intense, drama, action...the cast is amazing....the screenplay! What a amazing job by everyone. Thank you HBO and everyone involved in this great tv show.

"Through the Walley" was pure television magic!

First season was ok but lacked action, we didn't see enough of the infected to the point where I was barely feeling the danger. Finally in the episode I felt the danger, the anxiety, I finally thought : omg how are they gonna get out of this situation? Which is what I like seeing when it comes to zombies or zombie like creatures, the unpredictability. First episode was also good, except the teenage drama, and the girl is just insufferable so I hope we won't any of that anymore. But if episodes continue on the line of this second episode, it's going to be an epic season! Can't wait for new episode!
