There were also some plot holes. How did the father (and Joel) arrive back at the town so quickly! Can Joel who is mortally wounded seriously take down 3 men with just knives and sticks?? When Joel arrives at the town, where the hell is everybody?? | ||

There are some gory scenes and shocking revelations, but to me it's just like putting different spices together, mixing them hard and expecting something ultra-delicious coming out of them... It doesn't work like that. The developments of the town's characters' personalities felt rush. How did the father become the man he is? There were also some plot holes. How did the father (and Joel) arrive back at the town so quickly! Can Joel who is mortally wounded seriously take down 3 men with just knives and sticks?? When Joel arrives at the town, where the hell is everybody?? Remember they have a limited number of episodes and a set amount of time. Some things get rushed. At a good clip, you can do 4 miles in 2 hours if not sooner. Joel was probably around that time. Not everything happened immediately one after the other. Joel probably had 6 hours to get there. The father probably got there in 2 hours walking with Ellie. Joel taking down 3 guys with a knife and stick is plausible. He's rushing on adrenaline at that point. And he's done and seen more than those 3 combined, so I'm sure he'd be able to take them by surprise. And I assume everyone in the town is locked away trying not to freeze and conserve energy? They don't have much food to eat. What's the point of exerting yourself and hurrying your hunger? | ||

I might be misremembering, but I think I remember seeing the lake close by to the shelter Ellie and that guy were staying in. The resort they are at is by that lake, because of the guy who points on the map with the knife. So yeah it is likely closer than what he said. But Joel did have plot armor | ||

From quite a slow burn revealing the world, the main characters with a detour or two into introducing us to new characters and fleshing things out within an episode. On the flip side we had arcs like the cannibal nut, as well as the last episode which really zipped past and maybe needed a little room to breathe. But hey, overall was pretty damn good by my estimation. | ||
