[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]HBO just announced (3 minutes ago) that the next episode (ep 5) will be streaming this Friday at 9pm![/quote]

They had to throw out another episode quickly [b]because 4 was so boring?  [/b]:lol: [/quote]

Haha I was pretty on edge waiting for them to be found the whole time. Of course compared to episode 3, it wasn’t as good but I felt like it moved the plot along. The Kathleen anarchist (?) leader reminds me of the drug dealer lady from Euphoria.[/quote]

Sadly, I kind of agree.

On the one hand I love that the show is turning the zombie trope a little on its head. It's not like the sense of constant danger in TWD. On the other hand, it's a little slow. I am also nitpickily bothered by some things:

-Joel and Ellie are now in Kansas City. I guess it's possible that they made a trip that would take 21 hours today in less than 48 hours, but...If you're going to throw in a line marking the time as two days later then you're inviting commentary;
-[b]people are eating a lot of canned food. I understand that cans can last beyond the best by date (talk to my kids about it!) but it's been 20 years since the collapse;[/b]
-the doctor/prisoner's remark to Kathleen (Melanie Lynskey) that he delivered her. Kathleen is 40 if she's a day. She certainly isn't younger than 20. If that doctor delivering her as a baby before the collapse was going to be a part of the storyline, then fine. But that really doesn't seem to be the case so it's just sloppy.

It doesn't really take away from my enjoyment of the show, but it's noticeable.[/quote]

I got the impression that while society hasn’t totally “collapsed” like in TWD on Station Eleven. There is government in QZs. They mention factories making weapons. I would assume there still is food production going on too.[/quote]
