Glad I didn’t start watching this one. I was on the fence for a lot of reasons, but a full-on gay love story just three episodes in? That’s gotta be some kind of bait-and-switch record.
Also, the actress playing Ellie is too old and legitimately too ugly.
Edit: of course the director of the episode is gay. And his previous work is a bunch of gay stuff. Because that’s who you hire for an epic apocalyptic action drama - a gay dude who turns around and makes the show about gay dudes.
This is the problem with “representation”. If you hire a gay guy to make your big action drama tv show, and he makes a really good big action drama tv show, then who cares that he’s gay? But seemingly every time they do hire a gay guy, he makes the show about homosexuality. The pattern becomes so predictable that you are totally justified in avoiding all media created by gay people because it will invariably be all about gay stuff.
If nothing else the franchise remains consistent in making the story pants on head retarded since in the second game Abby looks to be on enough steroids or protein that the setting of an apocalypse makes no sense how these resources are being sourced.

Gross faggots.

She's got a bit of a downsy face and structure with the tiny eyes and the big jaw. I cannot unsee it
