If you're going to do an episode on two people, shouldn't they live past that single episode? I mean, it's not five seasons into Walking Dead where you delve into someone's past that you've seen for multiple episodes (if not for two or three seasons.)

TWD and FTWD both got kinda soft in the last three seasons, but the characters already had us invested, so we paid attention when there were weird one-off jags that didn't seem to fit with the overall story arc. That's not where we are with TLOU. I may come back to it after the season closes if they develop a coherent story that is interesting, but to see the actors do this stuff is painful.
