i’ve really enjoyed how they opened the first two episodes not focused on our main characters at all, and showing us just how terrifying the cordyceps infection is.
the scientists at the beginning of the pilot on the talk show, and at first there’s that good-natured talk show feel, but the longer the scientist goes on explaining the cordyceps and how it would be possible for it to survive in humans and imagine thousands upon thousands being controlled, and the whole auditorium goes still and silent, and it ends with just two words, “we lose.”
and then in this episode, with the mycologist and her complete fear after examining the body. the shaking of her hands and the quiet terror in the way she says that there is no cure, no medicine. that the only solution is to bomb the city with everyone in it. and can someone take her home so she can be with her family, because she understands what the scientist said from the first episode. we lose.

God, Ellie has so much anger inside of her. Ever since she saw Joel kill that soldier, there’s been this little spark of revenge that’s slowly been growing bigger and bigger. It comes out in ways that could seem like just her being a kid, like asking for a gun, or the “you get him?” comment when she asks about Joel’s scar. And then comes the scene with the infected trapped under the rubble. You think she’s afraid at first, with the way she freezes.
Then she realizes it’s trapped, and she gets closer. And you’re like, “what? what is she doing?”
And then you see her face.
That is not the face of somebody who’s afraid.
Ellie is furious. She lost Riley to these things, and now Tess as well, and she wants it dead. And personally I can’t wait to see where they take it, because this is only the beginning of Ellie’s warpath, and she’s got a long, long road ahead of her.

I hate you streaming services. I hate you anti password methods. I hate you sudden cancellation of good shows to mass produce low quality shows.

this feels little but i really appreciate how angry ellie is in this show, like ellie has had a hard ass life, shes lost so much and is constrantly under stress and grief and shes fucking pissed about it
when shes anrgy at maria in episode 6 i believe it, she doesn’t want to be here, they’ve taken her guns and clearly don’t trust either of them and she does the only think she knows how to which is kick off
in episode 7 after she and riley have been bitten shes PISSED, in the game we only see the back half of ellies reaction to the bite and its more of a grieving reaction, shes already accepted this whereas the shows shows us her anger in full force
shes screaming and smashing shit and its brutal to watch but its real
idk like theres such a conversation happening at the minute about femanine rage and i just think ellies a really well fleshed out character that does it well

you have to admit, it's starting to feel like a targeted attack against animation👀
where are all the cancelled "reality" tv shows?? what about cancelling some "cooking" shows?? why not drop the hammer on that poorly thought out biopic on a serial killer i know your thinking about shoving millions in to??

HBO canceled 36 shows and movies, Disney didn't lift a finger to promote Strange World, someone leaked For the Future, and now they canceled Inside Job. The absolute disrespect for animation is unbelievable
