Brown44 May 12 Share May 12 (edited) I thought we was done with Worlds Beyond? I don't know if I can handle all that teenage angst. Hershal learning how to kill deer and he's what fifteen? Judith was doing that at 6. BTW I watch TLoU live and record Dead City. Which i don't understand why AMC would have Dead City come on at the same time.

It's a courtesy to viewers who don't have a lot of free time -- you can watch either show and yet feel like you've seen both. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/153497-s02e02-another-shit-lesson/#findComment-8659974

If you played the game like me than you really have watched TLoU. You just watching to see the miner changes.

Basically 80 to 90% from the show was done the game with a few changes. Spoiler Like the brother's from season 1 from TLoU the 1st game, the event that happened happened but they changed it a bit and the tv version was actually a little better than the way it happened in the game. And the killing of Joel (in TLoU2) is basically the same but you don't learn till later in the game why Abby killed Joel. And you played half the game as Abby and people was pissed about it especially still playing her after she killed Joel. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/153497-s02e02-another-shit-lesson/#findComment-8659992
Mr. Sparkle May 13 Author Share May 13 (edited) Well, it's faint praise, but it was definitely better than last week. The plots still rely on people doing the stupidest thing possible, i.e. heading towards an island on a brightly lit, slow moving boat. I only wish more of those ridiculous cowboys would've died.

nodorothyparker May 14 Share May 14 This episode made me think a lot of the later seasons mother show where everybody on both sides of nearly any fight were such relenting assholes that it was nigh impossible to root for anybody or any outcome. The New Babylon crew won't listen to anybody, have terrible strategy approaching a dark island lit up like a slow moving Christmas tree, and don't seem to care how many of their conscripts they get killed for ... reasons. The NYC crew seems to be entirely a rogues gallery of assholes trying to out-asshole each other for street cred where anybody acting remotely like an actual human being instead of a cartoon villain must be put down like a rabid dog. Yeah, okay. Still no idea why all these terrible men are so all-fired eager to line up behind the world's oldest stringiest theater kid. I also honestly didn't get until reading some think piece about the episode that what Maggie was staring at so horrified at the end was Herschel tourniqueting one of the boat crew with the same kind of rag used in the tire fire signal to let the islanders know they were there. So I guess we're to think that the sheltered teen who already lost a toe to these people is playing both sides? A spy? Who knows. 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/153497-s02e02-another-shit-lesson/#findComment-8660925
Samwise979 May 14 Share May 14 Did Hershel start the signal fire? It looked to me like Maggie realized this when she saw Hershel using the same fabric around that guy’s leg. Also, I liked violin guy. Thumbs down he had to die. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/153497-s02e02-another-shit-lesson/#findComment-8661181

Who knows. He does seem to have a weird thing for that old lady. This show could be interesting with all the double-crossing, but it probably won't be. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/153497-s02e02-another-shit-lesson/#findComment-8661192

That's one of the problems with this series of shows. One of the central themes is that if your not an unrelenting asshole than you won't survive in this world. Which makes it hard to like anybody. The Dama lady told the Bach violin player that she wanted to move forward, not look behind. Then she killed him. That made me wonder why she didn't kill off the journalist kid, after all he was writing down the past. It was the recent past, but still the past. Why was she interested in his history?

Just watched this season over the weekend. Couple of reasons why she was "taken" with the "historian." One, she understands the value of having things recorded in a certain way for posterity. Also, as an avowed theatre person,... she's going to want a "good review" for her plans to build a new world.
