Bill should have acquired a utility trailer on day 1 to make his hauling easier than using his boat.

But that sweet boat and matching S10 were pretty foretelling about Bill.

For whatever reason, I took it as some sort of cancer, or even something like HIV (which would tie into the gay thing, but also being isolated like that would mean you have a far greater chance of not coming into contact with viruses that could end up killing you - like pneumonia).

The main reason I don't think Lou Gherig's works is because of how NOT deteriorated he seemed toward the end.

You may be right about the MS.

I took the rigidity and insomnia (hinted at) as Parkinson's, but it could very well MS too. Definitely a neurological disorder.




Your theory would make sense too (I think someone mentioned that a publication said it was ALS).

I think the bigger point is that it definitely wasn't AIDS as MLS had fantasized.

I said the same thing. Ole boy probably should've grabbed a trailer or uhaul from someone

I have not played the game and this question is for those like me:

Do we think Joel put everything of survival value that he didn't put in the vehicle into Bill's bunker, assuming he'll be back there a bunch throughout the show?

Also - Ellie basically hinted there was no air travel anymore, did she also mean for the quazi-government in the QZs? I can't remember if there were helis or airplanes during the Boston QZ scenes.

I thought the same thing. That’s a pretty sweet stash.

I would assume whatever passes for "the government" still has aircraft.

I think he took everything he assumed would be both needed and easy to carry should the truck inevitably break down.

Also, he still views Ellie as a job, not a friend. He intends to come back to Bill's bunker after the job is done

HIV(AIDS) is a non-starter. Bill would have had the virus also.

I know people were kind of hyper-focusing on Ellie and the TP, but I don't imagine they showed us everything that they picked up. I imagine he packed quite a bit and likely packed other guns/ammo (he just didn't want Ellie to have a firearm).

But they're headed to Wyoming in a post-apocalyptic world so I can't imagine we'll see a whole lot of time there depending on where the story takes us.

Joel did set the president earlier leaving that gun in the store stating that there isn't much ammo out there for that type of gun. Maybe he only took guns he knows they have a lot of ammo for out there.

We also don't know how much ammo Bill had for each type of gun he had.

I could see Joel thinking about going back to Bill's fortress after his pilgrimage and in later seasons they get back, but raiders have destroyed it and picked it clean.

I wouldn't care about the gay stuff if it wasn't the entire 80 minutes

Bill made his own ammo I'm pretty sure. And I'm assuming he made quite a fricking lot

shite, I have a couple buddies that make their own ammo for fun

Pretty sure we saw or heard at least one helicopter when they were still back in the Boston QZ. I'm assuming that was the FEDs flying it.

Well and depending on the ammo, it can get heavy. Someone made a good point that he may only take what they could feasibly carry if the truck breaks down.

I bet he'd just bury/hide it near where the car breaks down and packed it full.

At least that's what I'd do. I'd even potentially leave strategic small stashes along the journey with the excess.

What’s worse is that every time there is a gay character in anything we get this reaction.

Look, I normally agree with people who complain about woke agendas being pushed into movies/tv, but I don’t see this as that.

Gay people do exist. It’s not an affront to all straight males any time they are portrayed…

Bill was lonely, never had any gay interactions in his life before Frank showed up. Maybe he was previously gay, maybe he wasn’t. I don’t think it took away from the story or added to it. It was just the story

And of course you are 100% correct.

Bill was a bad arse and had very possibly carved out the best existence on the planet for himself at that point.

It sucks he’s dead.

They literally never showed this, or even implied it.

Is there some projection going on for you here or what?
