So I watched ep 1 and 2 season 2...
And well, its not great.
Even if I try to forget the original lore and how it just goes in different directions here and there it's still awful. Like the horde of infected just crawling from the snow. Or the bloater is just a tank that fire just tickles him and he can smash the wall surrounding Jackson. Then the dogs are also ridiculous. The "one shot" every infected but no infected attacks them. Go dogs!
Bloater focuses on Tommy's wife because she's the only one shooting him I guess so Tommy tries to get him to focus on him and rans in to dead end street somehow. In his town. Where he spent probably 10 years? Okay.
But just little things before where Ellie is riding a horse and is looking around with binoculars. On a horse?! Everyone who ever used binoculars knows that even when you are not moving it's hard to see if your hands are shaking. Never mind. She shouts on top her lungs "I'm immune!" Huh? She's so brave and free but won't tell anyone not even her best friend. You go girl!
Joel is asked to speed up construction of something. To which he replies he can't. But is told there is more ppl coming in all the time. As a Forman he could just give those ppl work and it will speed up... Whatever. But somehow they try to make him total asshole like when he says "just don't bring any more in" lol no way Joel would say that.
And then sitting with psychotherapist and she tell him she hates him and won't forgive him for killing her husband of 41 years while Joel lost his daughter and everyone else except his brother. But she is the one suffering because it is the first birthday without her husband. And Joel just sits through the monologue and knowing Joel he would not just sit there and take that. He would defend his actions. But not this Joel! Like wtf? Eugene was infected!!! (But he was to bring him back instead?? And then killed? Or kept as a pet in cage? Makes no sense)
And the murder is just as bad. Abby is killing Joel slowly probably for some time while her crew is just standing and watching and rolling their eyes because is taking too long and are repulsed by the whole thing. And eventually they stepped in but like what seems an hour of beating with golf club, leaving Ellie behind without saying anything... Not taking her with them or killing her. Just leaving her there.
Ellie would just go and went after them there and then. They keep showing us how she doesn't follow any rules and does what she wants. But now she's sensible in the most horrific experience of her life. Right...
And so at the end Dina or Ellie drags the body wrapped in bed sheet through the ground back to Jackson. How lovely. Why not putting him on sledge or board or something or even just on the horse?
Anyway. I have to get it out. Thanks for reading if you got this far. Peace. Sorry for bad English.
