May 5May 5 This last episode was probably the most annoying Bella Ramsey episode yet. Her acting is just all over the place. Shes supposed to be on a revenge mission, mourning and just went through a traumatic experience but she’s acting like a quirky preteen without a care in the world. The sex scene was also awkward. I don’t know why they changed it from the game which came much more natural. It was weird shoe horning it in after two major announcements of "I’m immune!” and "I’m pregnant!”

The average viewer would reject her if they made her a main character right away. If they wait a year or two between seasons, it softens the blow.spoilerThey should have given full episodes before the death

I don’t know why they changed it from the game which came much more natural. It was weird shoe horning it in after two major announcements of "I’m immune!” and "I’m pregnant!”What made it less realistic is they went from "I'm immune!" to not asking a bunch of questions. I know it's just rehashing the dead horse for the viewers but you just told someone that you're immune in a world where people kill someone as soon as they were bitten

It was weird shoe horning it in after two major announcements of "I’m immune!” and "I’m pregnant!”The re-arrangement of when they got intimate was the only real dislike I've had of the adaptation. In the game Ellie gets pissed at Dina's pregnancy (reacting to how she's basically going to be a liability now) -- and while I like that initial reaction in the game, I lump that change in with the same nitpick of them jumping right into boning each other.

And have to reveal her immunity in the same way?

It was the same scene and setting in the game as the show, but in the game her gas mask breaks open and that’s how Dina finds out.Show basically did away with all the spore stuff in general and made the scene a lot more dramatic.

Understandable. I think that was another reason they chose to show the cordyceps on the ground basically calling in reinforcements to the area
May 6May 6 All spore comments above are true (basically thick/foggy air that has inhalable cordyceps) -- but sometime in this season (maybe even this season), the show IS going to introduce spores/airborne -- almost as a way of showing that the virus is either mutating or or adapting to maintain its survival.

May 7May 7 overall, i really like the show. even with the occasional "blah" performance by ramsey. not being a nerd, i mean, having never played the game, i'm wondering how big this wolves vs the scars is going to be?

May 12May 12 Author I remember the mission to find the generator in the game. Could have added the clearing out to the showEllie being the idiot of the pair was funnyThey're so much louder in the show than the game. Granted I played on grounded but stillI guess the homemade silencer wouldn't have translated well to TV. Though she had the bow by now. Guess they decided not to have it for the show eitherI miss the notes and stuff we picked up and read though. I think that would have been a nice addition to the showThey did a great job of showing the cordyceps. That room looked greatThey changed the death just a tad. Not sure why

May 19May 19 The show sucks compared to the game. Acting is terrible and the pacing of the show and character relationships are way off. Pedro carried the show and Bella just ain’t it she’s terrible. "I’m gonna be a dad” gtfoh

May 20May 20 Author Thought the museum part in the game was so wholesome so I'm happy they added it to the showThey could have added more of the tour though. Didn't swim but that's fineThey didn't add the spray paint on the walls though. That would have actually been a nice precursor considering the signs were everywhere in the gameThey changed how Ellie finds out. Don't really like that
May 26May 26 Not a great finale - and I’m reading that they aren’t even going to start filming season 3 till 2026. Might not even care anymore by then.
