How was Elle portrayed in the game if that is not a spoiler? Is all of the lesbian stuff just for TV?

No shes a lesbian in the game. The episode with her first girlfriend from season 1 was the DLC for the first game but she had talked about her in the game before the dlc came out. Dina is in the 2nd game and they kiss at the dance and the dude calls her a dyke just like the show

just don't like her look. I don't like how her being a lesbian is paramount to the show. I don't want to watch 2 teenage lesbians dancing, and one take the butch role with her hands on others hips and the other putting her hands on Ellie's shoulders because she's the "man" lesbian. I don't care about a 16 year old lesbian love life. It just screams PC.

I know that’s probably more game discussion than some folks would like but I’ve tried pretty hard to avoid any possible spoilers here. If y’all think it’s a problem let me know and I’ll STFU.


nah that was a good post, very informative. Thanks.

I do think it will pick up fairly quickly, but I agree it was a fairly boring first episode and I think they may lose some viewers as a result.


I hope so.

I actually fell asleep during the episode Sunday night, asked my wife if I missed anything, and she just said "not really"

So I rewatched last night and she was right. That was a pretty poor episode.

The scene with the "smart" clicker was good, but other than that, it was way too much stuff with Ellie. And I get that they want to build characters, but her character is just so unlikeable.

Maybe this is all a set up for some redemption later, but I hope that comes soon. I want to like this show.

Stuff should start picking up soon, I don't want to say anything more but yes episode one was essentially getting the audience established with how Jackson has changed as well as Ellie's relationship with Joel and some of the new characters. The adaption will span over two seasons but honestly it's needed otherwise shite would feel super rushed which is also a problem

I’m trying to get past the fact that the Ellie character doesn’t listen to anyone and continues to make bad decisions.

It all seems a little silly.

Not trying to spoil, but i don't think that is the case with season 2.

Joel never went to therapy and Kathleen was never in the game. It's not surp4rising that fans are not fans of this show. The writers don't give a crap about the source material.

Dude the writer is the same guy that wrote the game. Druckman and Mazin (along with Troy Baker, voice of Joel in games) do a podcast after each episode and explain why they made the changes they made.

They made Dina hot for you instead of giving her a huge nose like in the game

How long are you gonna be stuck on Ellie's appearance? Its been an entire season already. We still gonna get these posts after episode 5 of season 2? HBO pays the bills, they get to put an actress they like in the show.

We have 50 posts about Ellie's looks in show vs game but Tommy is just as different and noone cares haha

I feel like this might be the most unbelievable relationship in the history of HBO's original programming:


It's pretty believable. Almost every real life lesbian couple is an attractive woman with an ogre that looks like her snatch would melt your face like the Ark of the Covenant the moment you laid eyes on it. Or two bull dykes that arm wrestle after they scissor and take turns wearing their favorite pair of jorts. Two hot chicks only happens in porn and college.

Even on the far left website that is Reddit, there's a fair amount of people that don't like her casting. They say it's because she doesn't look like the video game character which may be true, but I also think everyone has a tad feeling of "please get this butch girl that wears men's suits off the screen and replace her with a more to video game woman."


Reddit is only left wing when it conveniences them. It’s easy to bash Trump but those coding dweebs absolutely want their jerk off material and video games to reflect their heteronormative dispositions.
