people blame Ellie for not telling Joel or Henry, they could've cut his leg off to prevent whatsoever. The thing is at the end of the day they're still kids, kids will for sure do that, they'd think it will work. I loved how they managed to remind us of their innocence which is kinda the point of the episode. It made it even more heartbreaking.

[@iainsteele5737]

its also hilarious that anyone thinks cutting a leg off isn’t a more painful death sentence

[@j.f.l.bousquet1998]

Blame Ellie? And... cut his leg off to stop the infection already on his blood? What the fuck is even people talking about. How? With Ellie's little pocket knife? That's one of the most stupid things I've ever heard.

[@underscorerm1678]

@@j.f.l.bousquet1998 yeah especially those who haven't played the game, because in the game sam's turning was inevitable. Idk, also i've seen a few who are pissed at henry for pointing gun and shooting at joel, they aren't able to grasp the gravity of the situation, henry acted on instinct because sam is everything to him.

[@jessetorres8738]

7:30. Not even 2 weeks ago, Kathleen's Militia killed all of FEDRA in Kansas City for the freedom of the people. But, her quest for revenge against Henry for getting her brother killed resulted in her, Perry, & most of her militia getting killed by this Horde of Infected. So, now there is hardly anyone left to defend the city as the Horde makes its way towards it.

[@KenFromchicago]

You're right. Amputations do work, if done soon enough after infection, at least on the show. (I forgot if there were anyone amputated in the game.) Remember in the pilot, after the time jump to 2023, when they showed people watching the public hanging, a couple of guys had amputated arms.

[@clairealderwood1928]

Huh?

[@KenFromchicago]

@@clairealderwood1928 Akasan wondered if they could have saved Sam by amputating his leg. I was pointing out that he was right. In the pilot episode, after they make the time jump 20 years to 2023. The kid who staggers into Boston is taken in for inspection. They show a public safety notice about infection. If bit in the head, the transformation can happen in about 15 minutes. If bit in the arm, in 8 hours. If bit in the leg, in 16 hours. The sign shows it takes time for the virus to reach the brain and cause the transformation. So, if you amputate early enough, you stop the transformation. Later, they show a public hanging and a couple of spectators had amputated arms

[@TheShakan973]

The actress playing Kathleen did a real good job, made her super unlikeable but not unwarranted

[@willt8848]

It was bad casting and her being unlikable doesn't mean she did a good job persay.

[@PowerlightGGs]

@@willt8848 How was it bad casting

[@willt8848]

@@PowerlightGGs No gravitas. Bad voice and unconvincing as a hard ass leader. Look how she held the gun at Henry. The actress was a bad choice and not fit for the role

[@PowerlightGGs]

@@willt8848 You did not understand the character then if you don’t know she wasn’t supposed to be a hard ass leader

[@willt8848]

@@PowerlightGGs So what was she supposed to be?

[@privatecaboose250]

Ellie did tell a grown up that was Joel and she was told NOT to tell anyone, one of the rules Joel made.

[@djcantskate3883]

I think he meant tell someone Sam got infected

[@tbj1913]

Bruh🤦🏻‍♂️

[@BrokenNoah]

Henry shouldn't have shot Sam - Clicker Girl/Spider Monkey could've had a playmate. They could've been playing kick ball with Perry's head.

[@comicbooknerd4114]

Glad I stayed up to see this early.

[@aaron-n]

Let’s get it.

[@Xyz123idk]

They actually did create a whole bloater suit for the show. It's on yt

[@Julia-qv5ls]

*Possible spoilers (though I tried not to)* I know Ellie’s decision to not get an adult and try to help Sam by giving him her “medicine” is questionable but 1) she’s a KID & kids make stupid decisions and 2) it sets up her feelings for what happens later in the fallout of the cure storyline. I did not play the game but have failed to avoid spoilers (AND I’VE TRIED!!!). I also understand the reason they did it even with the “That’s not how they did it in the game” problem. Knowing the TV show doesn’t have the luxury of time to set things up like the game does. It’s like how they made Sam deaf and had that terrible Karen…sorry, Kathleen…chasing Henry. We cared about them quicker so their deaths HURT and not just sucked.

[@fletchgang123]

As a hardcore fan of the game....Completed game like 20 times...I actually like this iteration better where Ellie thinks smearing her blood over his bite will cure him. Makes the ending even more sad than the game.

[@donaldfrederick501]

Sadly playing the games = knowing fate of Henry & Sam and yeah, hurt just as badly. Kathleen figured a foreshadowing on vengeance and consequences of one life vs countless others both this season and later.

[@nasirja9000]

if this ep didn’t hit u im sorry to tell that no ep coming is gonna do it for u

[@Ricardo29j]

in game sam doesn't tell to anyone so dont blame ellie trying to help in the hbo

[@olivertaylor-morte8026]

You should watch the end of the walking dead, free content

[@endless013]

They kept a good part of this close to the game if not the same and everything was the first game season 2 is TloU2 (sad to say)

[@MadamWilson]

Joel would have killed Sam on sight had Ellie told them… and plus, she’s 14, a kid, not thinking things thru
