Anyone watching "Last of Us" on HBO?

I find the character development of this show to be weak at best. They did nothing to establish the relationship between Tess and Joel, making hard to believe that he is so torn up over her loss when they seemingly were business associates and no more.

I thought Ep 3 would, save for the needless and frankly gross sex scene, would have been a great way to develop and establish Bill, and then they killed him off after 40 min of screen time.

This show kinda sucks. Feels like the late seasons of GOT.

Needless sex scenes are an HBO staple and their writers and show runners are pretty garbage these days. It's like they just toss in a needless sex scene here and there to try to mask the fact that their plots are thin and their character development is shallow.

Like, even when they have quality source material, they still manage to arse it up. And when they go out on their own (I'm looking at you, GOT seasons 6-8) it's nearly always a dumpster fire.

It's also rather odd that two men can't have a relationship as friends, it's always got to be gay.

A Guy I served with one time said, there are no "Gay" Men,
It's guys that have figured out the system. No friend is going to bitch at you for buying a Bass Boat. Your Wife, Yes of course she will.
No friend is going to complain about you drinking at two in the afternoon. Your Wife, Yes of course she will.
So the guys who've figured it out, don't get married, they buy Boats and drink whenever they want and enjoy their lives.
Why didn't I figure this out before I got married?

I have no idea why they had to have a gay character instead of a couple of guys who figured it out.

That's fairly close to the lyrics.

How many steaks and bourbons did it take for Ron Swanson to wash that taste of another man out his mouth? Don't ruin the manliest man for me you damn HBO.

It still s**ts all over the Halo series for quality, effort, and watchability.

I kinda liked the Halo series...

Completely superfluous woke bait episode. I don’t have any problem with gays, it just didn’t offer anything interesting. Just a couple of old gay dudes living fabulously in the apocalypse. Ok.

And seriously, if they are gonna put me through Brokeback Apocalypse, don't just kill him off. He could have been a regular, there isn't as much hate as "they" assume, but the fact that they made him disposable tells me he was a token to troll us. He could have been a whole series of flashbacks how he maintained modern suburbia.

The after episode followup, the director said the character in the game had a "partner" and that allowed them to go a different direction with the show.
