That's one thing I wouldn't have caught had we not had the captions on. It was in the background and the dialogue was going on at the same time that Bill and Joel were talking.

I was surprised that Joel was so anti listening to that tape once they got in the truck. I imagine that outside of a code every now and then, they don't hear music very often. And obviously the radio wouldn't really work or pick up the local DJ spinning tunes.
Of course, for someone like him maybe he just wanted to stay hyper-focused on the road and everything around them to be aware of their surroundings and any approaching threats. Who knows.

I never said that. Read the post again that you are replying to and show me where “gay dick in the arse” sex is shown or implied.

Director Peter Hoar, here standing, recently tweeted that his husband just finished a new book-"Anything You Can Cook, I Can Cook Vegan."

And of course you are 100% correct.
At least 50% correct. The complaint about pacing would still be there, but the vitriol would be dialed back significantly.
I think the ending saves it from being a complete mess, and in the end the story progresses as it should. But devoting 50 minutes to these 2 characters who are now dead came across more like virtue signaling than a framing device.

I think you're probably hitting it on the head in that he's wanting to stay hyper-focused with the task at hand, no distractions, etc.
I also think that allows him to emotionally stay in a very closed-off lane. He's comfortable not getting attached to anyone right now, especially after what just happened with Tess (and we learn they've been partnered up for at least 16 years from the last episode).

I know what you said. You said that gay sex is not "even implied." Sex between two gay men was very heavily implied. And by definition, does what you said not constitute "gay sex?"

Correct. His "we keep our histories to ourselves" line backs that up as well. Like you (or someone else earlier) said, Ellie is a job to him at this point and nothing more. And he wouldn't even be doing this if he didn't think she held some sort of value on the other end, and he will use that value to get to his brother if it came to it (at least at this point before he grows any attachments to Ellie).
Also, this is completely random, but am I the only one who can't fricking stand how Joel says "Ellie"? It drives me crazy.

That is an excellent way to sum up this episode for me, and I agree 100%.

Replying to first thread. I found it boring and having not played the game don't get why we got so much of a characters backstory only for him to be dead already.

Can we stop talking about gay sex?
That scene was like 30 seconds long.

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.
How could they miss things so fundamental?

My counters to not packing it to the gills:
- Gas is limited. The additional weight is going to burn more gas to haul. And it will likely also slow you down. And they have to get to Wyoming.
- There is only so much that you can carry if the truck breaks down.
- Hauling something like that going to put a massive target on your back.

Fast forwarded through most of the episode. All I needed to watch was the last 5 minutes. Episode was a throw away "look at the man love" waste.

Having not have played the games, I quite liked Ep3.

If it were a sex scene between Donald Sutherland & Angela Lansbury, I'd still feel grossed out, just like I was watching this lemon party.

Yep, knowing that he has been making runs for years, he likely understands the value of keeping things light.
They also clearly alluded to his thought process early when they stopped at his cache.

Also, assuming roads have deteriorated over the 20 years without regular upkeep, hauling that boat would be an absolute pain in the arse from a maneuvering aspect.
Just the truck allows them to be faster, easier handling, and a lot less to cover up/hide if you need to at a stop.
