View allI'll just leave this comment here: I told my partner after we finished watching it the difference in storyline from the game and in the TV show. She said "Oh, they should have done it the game way, it sounds much sadder and more tragic. This seemed like a happier ending."
It is easily the lowest rated episode of the show of this series by far on imdb.com and metacritic's user score dropped by more than 2.0 points after the episode aired.

The first two episodes scored in the 9s.
This is similar to the type of backlash The Last of Us Part 2 game got on PS4.

Ellie, yeah I have to say I like the game's take better so far but it's not too far off. But the show is trying to distance Joel and Ellie as far apart as possible in the 1st 2 episode. Bill's interaction with Ellie will probably take up by Joel. No big loss and I have no problem with that. In a way, in that hut where Joel was looking for stash and Ellie stabbed the stalker, those interactions are similar she had with Bill.
Everything people complained about is there. The crafting of battery is nod to the game. The suicide node is pretty much like the one Frank left in game. And Frank and Bill relationship was hinted at in the game but fully explored here.
People need to keep an open mind that adaptation doesn't have to follow source 100%. And so far I don't think it's that far off.
What would be the point of doing an exact replica of the game, when you can play the game?
Think of it this way - the MCU made TONS of changes with Thanos (and pretty much everything in MCU).
Allowing yourself to be bothered by this would prohibit enjoyment of some awesome writing/movies.
You might wish to consider that it is much less a problem with the choices made with this show, and more of one from a tremendous lack of flexibility on your end.
If the bar you have set is identical matching, why even bother watching? You know this will not be the case.
To misquote Chris Rock - It's like playing basketball with a (mentally challenged) kid, and calling them out for double dribble.
Sometimes you just gotta let some shyte slide.
To be frank - accepting change is genuinely hard.
Especially hard for some whose wokeness detectors are permanently beeping.
Pretty pointless for you to crap over changes to Joel's bro when we haven't even seen an episode with him in present times.
Mentally, you've already primed your disappointment, lol.
Even Joel's brother (Tommy) in the game is the nicer and level headed one. Not the one that swears all the time and gets himself into trouble through stupid actions.
Ellie is also sympathetic to Tess in the game. On the show she's a bitch about it and says not her fault and not her problem.
In the game, Joel's brother has a tenuous relationship and is long segregated away from Joel. He started his own family and has his own kids and lives in his own self-sustaining community.
On the show, he is still with the Fireflies.
In the game, the outbreak hits in 2013, and the other part of the game is set in 2033.
- Frank in the game committed suicide after getting bit by infected. He left Bill's town because Bill is too hard headed and controlling.
- On the show, Bill never meets or interacts with Ellie at all.
Some people just can't relate to emotional character development, when what they truly crave is splattering clicker brains. If they can't see these emotions or feelings in themselves, they certainly will not be able to appreciate depictions.
To each, their own.
Joel was able to do what he did to survive BECAUSE of losing his daughter. This was illustrated when he burned that little boy's body without flinching. Ellie is meant to be the one to change him. So having him just start having feelings for everyone he meets take away from that.
Bill being inconsequential is also why this little detour of an episode works. It shows a slice of life under this pandemic.
Again this is an "adaptation", what's wrong with them recon Tess and Joel relationship to be closer? Mazin already said this show is about love.
Nah, i think you missed the point. Bill as a character both in the game and the show was inconsequential to the overall TLOU story. Focusing on Bill for the entire episode was a huge waste of time and was only done so they would spend the least amount of money possible.
They could take out Bill completely and have Joel find a working truck and nothing would even changed. Making Joel get all emotional and crap reading the letter was incredibly forced. It's not the "oMg mAsTeRfuL wRitiNg 10/10" you think it is. Tess and Joel were basically Friends with benefits. They weren't "soulmates" or deeply in love. Sure Tess may be someone he might have cared about a little, but after his daughter was taken from him, he was supposed to be desensitized to "the feelings" until he starts caring about Ellie, as a surrogate daughter.
Nobody is dropping into episode 3 without episode 1 and 2.
"Like where's the Zombie and action, man?" "I didn't sign up for Broke Back Mountain" etc etc.
Everything else in the episode gave a glimpse of living in the zombie world. What it meant and how one could survive. Not a lot of zombie shows go this indepth that I can think of. It was a really well-done episode with a lot of emotion and character development. It also gave an alternative way of living compared to being stuck in a quarantine zone or getting scrapes on the street. Everything about it was good and showed a level of devotion Bill had to make it work.
Skip it if you want. Thats up to you.
Instead of a miserable and resentful Bill, we got a man started that way but ended with a well lived life and choose how he goes out. That's a good ending in a world where most are turned into mushrooms. Meanwhile showing us even in a mushroom pandemic, life can thrive. It's a beautiful message and as much as I love the game's take, this is doing Bill right too, if not better.
I am willing to bet that while there are gamers who are disappointed on this plot change, as tons of show watchers are now picking up the game, they will be just as disappointed.
I was rewatching Part I's video game scenes with Bill, and there was a few things that the show could have done that would have made it so much better,

In particular, the show should have made Joel springing one of Bill's traps and the infected coming in and forcing him to fend himself hanging upside down. And Bill coming in badass and saving him. That would have been such an amazing scene to see in live action. In the show there was ZERO sense of urgency or suspense. But I'm sure it also saved them a lot of money.
Huge missed opportunity.
The 2nd game is so divisive that it's damned if you do and damned if you don't.
This recon is better than source. And I guess it diverges from here on out as Bill ain't coming along.
If you follow interview and podcasts, Mazin seems to have 3 seasons mapped out based on the 2 games. I can see a bit they are changing the characters up slightly so going into season 2 won't be as disconnected as the game.

The beginning and ending set that up for me - the middle dragged.
Was it a throwaway story?
Will it have an impact on the remainder of the journey?
Is HBO trying to join Netflix by having the 'woke' box checked?
I will say that I enjoyed how it started/ended but didn't enjoy the big chunk in the middle where it dragged.
Still, this show is my current fav weekly show that I'm following so let's see!
There are multiple generations of people who were raised in a world where it was hard coded that everything gay was wrong, and that at best, it needs to be hidden. Many will never be able to shake off this narrow indoctrination. For them, it will always be as true as water is wet. As such, their bigotry prevents them from being able to see legit wokeness. For them, calling out woke is the modern day equivalent to calling out the Jew for all problems during the 1930's and onwards.
Some good clarifications made here:

Ya some people really get worked up and have serious double standards of it's two people who are same sex (especially males) to show affection for each other but have no problems if it's a male/female.
Kissing is now porn? Wow ...
