Wow - as expected - the show has lost 33.5% of it's viewers in the last 2 episodes.
1) They should have done a "Darrell" like Walking Dead did. Darrell character was supposed to die in the 1st or 2nd season, but he was a fan favorite so they kept him. Joel was - by far - the best character in The Last of Us. It isn't even close.
Let him die? - yeah that was stupid.
2) Who the f*ck wants to watch an entire episode that was essentially a romance between the two girls?? Did you really think that is why people watched this show??????
They lost us after that episode, we did not watch the next episode, and won't watch anymore. And no - it isn't because of two gay characters, it is because Ellie is not an interesting enough character to carry a show, and holy hell the girlfriend sure isn't either.
You take a great storyline and got rid of everything that was good, to make it about two teenage girls falling for each other. Umm... WTF?
