The Path

Greetings from Lithuania.

Third episode of TLOU season 2 was a slow build of a story. Knowing the story very well due multiple playthroughs of Part 2 I can't say that i was disappointed. It's more or less faithful adaptation of VG - wether you like it or not. What makes this episode just an OK watch is just that the story itself isn't particularly engaging, and acting by two young woman is just an OK.

Overall, "The Path" was a descent episode, but not particularly memorable one. That is a build up episode, but on a bright side it wasn't a filler or anything - its just a mostly faithful adaptation of the material.

Solid aftermath episode.

Ellie is here for the first time in this second season more likeable and human than the episodes before.

Scene stealer is Isabela Merced. Every scene she's in, she's great.

Some changes compared to the game: the game was fast paced and continued directly after the shocking event. Here, the episode continues three months later.

The relationship between Ellie and Dina was more bold in the game than here.

The episode takes its time, is beautifully shot, has some nice landscapes and road trip vibes, teases us a new group of religious survivors, but uses their scenes to show us that the mission of Ellie and Dina won't be easy against the powerful and relentless W. L. F.

Good episode that takes its time and seperates itself from the source material and tries to stand on its own feet. Apprecheated and recommended.

I don't care about the game.

I will never play the game so I'm not tainted like many of the people commenting that this was a poor episode.

It was vastly different than the previous episode but episode 3 is about a series that takes itself seriously about character development, setting up a narrative and actual momentum building not just shoot 'em action and infected.

I thought the acting was wonderful and I also felt I was in mourning because of the tragic snd jaw-dropping moments from the previous episode.

A slow episode like this honors the previous episode much more than having an action-packed episode. The way it was done felt real and heartfelt and made me want to see what lies ahead and that's the mark of a great series.

To be honest, this was better than I expected it to be. I heard many people say that this is the worst episode of the season so far, which is probably true, but still, it's not horrible. There's a decent amount of things that happened this episode, even if the pacing is a little slow it was still enjoyable enough. I'm not really sure what I think about the changes they did with Tommy's character. In the games he wanted revenge even more than Ellie, but he's not really like that in this series. Overall, I think this episode was decent enough, so far this season hasn't really been that consistent, but I hope the next episode is better!

Well, after the mind-bending previous episode that shocked everybody even the gamers, we are back without a choice to lamer territories with brat Ellie and get-a-grip teenish Dina who weren't given time to get more acquainted while sober.

Seriously, what could you expect without Joel and the charismatic-for-the-role Pedro Pascal.

That's a disaster. In fact it's beginning to be a disaster.

I related to Seth in this episode and I hope that he'll be given a stronger and more important role cause if you give the leash to the 19 y.o. Babies, 'The Last of Us' won't go anywhere.

P. S. The last scene is supposed to be what, scare me to death?!

Joel, I so miss you!
