[quote=Anonymous]So good, agree it was one of the best episodes of tv I've ever seen. So impressive considering this is just the third episode of a new show.

Still emotional about it today.

SOME MINOR SPOILERS:

I also kept waiting for the other shoe to drop and felt at the end wow, how unexpected and impactful for a show like this to choose to show a happy ending (the happiest of endings available for these two). A reminder of the power of connection. I'm also sad Ellie didn't get to meet them (agree she's annoying and that she's supposed to be, teenagers are annoying! you care about them anyway, because we were once teenagers too).

That was really just shockingly well done I feel grateful to have seen it, and transparently I sometimes feel like gay/lesbian storylines like this can seem like they were chosen for diversity's sake (and I don't think it is bad to intentionally choose diversity I just think sometimes it feels less organic because its been done to check a box). But here in this story it seemed so perfectly placed, and moments made more impactful for it being gay men (like how gay marriage was still illegal when this world ended in 2003 and how Bill was so reclusive and crazy).

Just really wonderful. I imagine both men will be up for awards. Side note, way to win the apocalypse lottery Frank![/quote]
