What did you not want to see? A kiss on the lips? If one was a woman would you have the same opinion of the same actions?

That was my problem with it as well. You can show gayness without going overboard with what people don't want to see. At times it just felt intentional and gratuitous.

Also, I don't get why people are upset that people were sort of taken aback or offended by it. It's completely okay to not want to see that play out on screen. I don't hate gay people at all, but I also don't need or want to see stuff like that especially when it's almost completely unnecessary. But it's okay for people to not want to see that. All of the "imagine being offended by that in 2023," or "I feel sorry for you if the gayness bothered you" comments are kinda stupid, as if it's somehow not okay to not want to see that in the show.


I didn't want to see it and guess what, i fast forwarded those scenes.

Ya know, for a non-gamer thread, a lot of you are mentioning the game and misrepresenting what's in it to prop up your feeble defense.

Not to me, if they just took shot for shot and remade the game without building the world and telling the story of it would be pointless

Personally, I could've done fine without all of it. But that's just me and my preference.

Of course I wouldn't. And neither would you.

But more than any of that, I can do without forced sex/relationship scenes and wastes of time no matter who is involved when those characters (that we literally just met this episode) don't have an effect on the story really, and don't even survive the episode.

Hey look, I'm glaad you liked all the gay kissing and sex stuff. I could've done without it, and it took away from the story a good bit for me (since it was all ultimately useless).

Exactly. The moment I saw the dude laying in bed shirtless I realized I was probably going to see something I didn’t want to, so I fast forwarded until they were wearing clothes again.

the other 75 minutes of the episode were pretty good, except for bill getting shot because he was standing in the middle of the street. That was dumb.

Was that gas plant seriously able to prop up Bill’s lifestyle for 20 years? Seems like something upstream of that facility would’ve gone caput immediately and him opening a single valve (lol) would have been useless.

As far as the gay propaganda, I’m convinced. Where do I sign up?

What bothered me the most was that it just felt like a gigantic waste of time for the most part.


What bothered me is all the effort Joel and Tess went through to get a battery for Bill's truck when Bill had all the ingredients to make one in his fridge.

So this is why this episode was getting such critical acclaim? Because of the gay stuff.


I thought it was a pretty decent episode and the gay stuff doesn’t really bother me (though seems excessive most of the time), but this is the shite that bothers me. All of the critics called this the best episode ever blah blah blah. It was a solid B episode, but because there was a gay love story it becomes incredible. That’s the annoying part.

The other annoying part is why does Joel fricking hate guns lol?!?!?!? This dude stumbled upon Burt’s armory basement from Tremors and he’s just like nah we good. This fvcker needs to walk out of there strapped until he can barely walk and that truck is riding on its axels there’s so much ammo and guns in it.

They didn't have room bc they grabbed those 3 rolls of toilet paper. I was waiting for Joel to be like, "what the frick are you bringing that shite for, let me see what other stupid shite you packed...oh, wait, you have a gun in here."

No. I’m legitimately sorry for people that got offended (like you) by my words.

I’m sorry they have lost touch with god
I’m sorry they are easily manipulated by propaganda
I’m sorry they don’t see how it’s dangerous this material is for society
I’m sorry they don’t see how wrong immoral and satanic these acts are( going back to how bad it is for society)


You think calling out satanic propaganda is depressing? I feel sorry for you.

You think that because a very small number of homosexuals exist that they need to be overly represent in media.

Why not make the deviation to Bill and Francis. Have her be badass partner to bill. Show them have kids. Protect them. Raise them and stay alive for them? That’s the type of relationship the world needs more of. Having kids in that environment is brave but the right thing.

Instead we get gay sex. No kids. Suicidal men with nothing left to live for.
It’s satanic, and again, not good for society.

I feel sorry that you cannot make these connections.

Dear Lord man it’s just a relationship, the episode was pretty critical for moving forward and set up some nice world building and character development for Bill and Frank as well as impacting Joel

It’s not just a relationship. It’s gay dick in arse sex for no reason.

It was terrible world building that could have been achieved better through 100 different ways beside gay shite covered dick in grown man’s hairy arse.

It is wrong. Shouldn’t not be shown. And was only shown because Hollywood wants to push this evil onto everyone.

Just admits it was disgusting and satanic and stop accepting it.

Oh man, definitely a lost cause when they think their all loving god would condemn the real life Bills and Franks of this world to eternal suffering because they love each other unconditionally and happen to be the same sex.

And surely being vilified for an uncontrollable trait you were born with would never cause underreporting…

What time in the episode did they show the explicit sexual acts? I thought I was paying good attention but I guess not.

I do not care that they were gay and not straight. I care that the 3rd episode in the 1st season spent an hour on a story that has minimal relevance to the plot.

That should've been a season 3 50 minute filler episode.

My main gripe with the episode was Frank the “survivalist” coming out of cover into the middle of the street to engage multiple hostiles. Come the frick on people jesus.



This was dumb as frick.

Also Frank didn't wake up Bill when they were being attacked to at least get him to take cover in the bunker.
