The finger banging after almost getting shot then almost getting eaten was absurd

About as absurd as strolling down a main road in a massive city where bodies are everywhere. Then go into a music store and bang on drums and play a guitar and sing…yea, that seems like the thing to do
Exactly.

The writing is so absurd right now - even though Ellie/Bella Ramsey (looks/acting) gets the most focus. The writing is worse than her.

I can suspend disbelief for things, but holy shite, this show is taking the idea to task.

I give the show Silo criticism because of a lack of balance between character development and nothing happening. At least those characters live in that world.

Ellie/Dina aren't really in their world, they're living in some sort of bubble of disbelief. That's why a few of us think the WLF/Scar, etc. is the more compelling story.

I agree that there have been glaring issues, but the past two episodes spent a ton of time establishing that the particpants in the war zone will be killing each other.

Season 1 was fantastic. The reactions we are seeing now are from the last 2 episodes being below all the episodes before them. Episode 2 of season 2 was awesome as well.



I read this before seeing who wrote it, and I instantly knew who it was. Then saw C420 and laughed out loud at how spot on I was.

The good parts of this show are getting over shadowed by really poor choices and writing

Show is just bad at this point. I mean if this was a real life sequence as the show is supposed to be would you really be singing and finger banging with monsters around every corner?This may turn out to be top 5 worst second seasons in a long long time. Top it off after every episode the writers, executives etc.. explain how emotional it was filming and the feelings of each character is expressed etc...

That’s the most interesting part of the show. After each episode displaying how out of touch they are with their own show.

I’ve never watched The Last of Us.

Is that Doug Heffernan from The King of Queens?

I can't believe the same guy that wrote that nonsense also wrote Chernobyl. I think he may have stolen Chernobyl from someone, because it's way too good to be written by the same person.


I've thought this for a while. Literally every other non-Chernobyl thing Mazin has made has been dogshit
