Bill and Frank's story was such a great part of the show. Two people who against all odds found love in the apocalypse, and lived out their days together, and left the world together, old, happy, and content. Of all the people who fought the apocalypse, Bill and Frank won.

It might go some way to improving relations between gays and other gays.

[@oLii96x]

I found it pretty lame. Too cliché, too unrealistic and unnecessarily romantic. Also that they are dead when Joel and Ellie arrive makes this episode almost pointless. I preffered the Bill from the game, where he is a much more interesting character, and his relationship with Frank not so pale.

I disagree. The thing about Bill's home was that it was nice, neat, comfortable. It was normal. All of the characters who end up there are just so happy to be able to pretend to be normal. Frank was impressed and grateful that he wasn't just eating, but getting a nice, happy, normal meal.

It's easy to jump on the "woke" bandwagon when it is just that, a bandwagon. But despite whatever race, sexuality or whatever you want to define a person as being, quality writing and acting will always shine and these two did a phenomenal job of portraying these characters.

I think the biggest thing that tipped off Frank that Bill was attracted to him was how hard he went with the meal. He didn't have to make a him a fancy rabbit dinner paired with the correct wine, but he did. Nobody just does something like that for a complete stranger who shows up uninvited, especially not in an apocalypse.

I wasn’t overly impressed by the show as a whole since it mostly felt like a recreation of the game’s cutscenes, but this episode justified the whole season for me.

[@noth1ngmuch]

i feel exactly the same. this one episode is the one thing i think they did better than the game in my opinion, it would probably work better in tv format anyway but thats kind of what i imagined for the whole first season, just a retelling of the story suiting it more to tv where there can be a proper flashback episode and all that jazz.

After hearing a lot of hate from where the writers differed from the actual game(I played it) not gonna lie they actually did a good job and I do like it even tho it defers from the original story as a gamer I’d like for them to stick with the original but this is just as good great cinematography on their part not bad

[@TDKiller415]

The one downside was no fight with a bloater. It would've been cool to see Joel, Tess, Bill and Frank all fight against raiders one night at least.

[@deniseeulert2503]

I would have taken either of those guys but they didn't lean my way. I like both of them. But remind me, those lights on the wall, were they gas? I know Bill had a generator set up, but did he use it for lighting?

[@Wanchoh]

early on he has natural gas he turned on and plenty of fuel, later on I guess he just traded joel for some more fuel? It's also possible he actually does know how to maintain the natural gas line and plant he fixed, and kept it running since those reserves would probably last ages for 2 people

[@todd3143]

being able to have a pretty normal date in the appocalypse is amazing. bill is much luckier in this timeline

He probably spend like 40 minutes cooking that. Shouldve given him a snack at least.

[@TDKiller415]

The scene where Joel and Tess met Bill and Frank should've had all four of them fight the raiders off and Joel possibly save Frank's life in the process, which would explain why Bill and Frank would leave everything to them, out of gratitude, a debt repaid

[@TheAero1221]

As someone who was raised conservative and religious, we were taught as kids that gay couples were sinful and wrong, and there were those around me who acted repulsed just at the mention of someone coming out as gay, or seeking a gay partner. Its been a long time since I've believed in or followed those teachings. Once I reached an age where I started thinking critically about these teachings it was just so obviously wrong. I knew gay people. I knew they had the same capacity for kindness, thoughtfulness and love as anyone else. I consider this to be one of the best episodes from a TV show that I have ever seen, because it shows exactly that. Its a story about two people who love each other. And that's enough. I hope more people see it.

[@dannyliebeno4108]

[@aleecarp1337]

What i didn't like about this episode is the decision of skipping the interactions between Bill and Ellie. But it was refreshing and cute seeing a happy ending from those two insteed of the bitter ending of the couple in the game.

[@9f81rsd00]

Regarding the Bill/Frank subplot, I do think it getting the focus in the TV series was way better. But for the game, it wouldn't have worked because it's a game. Aside from maybe a segment where we control Bill to repel raiders, it would've either dragged on too long.
