Big Boss Posted February 9, 2023 Report Share Posted February 9, 2023 One of the many good things about TLOU is the linear storytelling. There are no stupid flashbacks in episodes. If the episode is about past, it will follow the complete story rather than jumping back and forth which many tv shows do. The protagonists also remain constant for majority of the episode. They don't have parallel storylines ongoing. More shows need to do this. The days of Lost and Prison break are all over ffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But all episodes start with a flashback. Lost did this too, sometimes in the middle of the episode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it just jumped directly. Since it has too many characters, the switching in protagonists or perspectives is okay. This show had lot of potential to do unnecessary flashbacks and prolong the narrative but gladly they didn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using ramps/logs to cross from one building to the other. Joel boosting Ellie to reach high places. The camera angles also in so many shots replicate the game camera angles.

cyberpunk Posted February 10, 2023 Report Share Posted February 10, 2023 Better Call Saul and Breaking Bad did cold openings the best. It always somehow tied up to the story! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R3D_D3ViL Posted February 11, 2023 Report Share Posted February 11, 2023 Damn they remade the sniper sequence with a 'special guest appearance'. Edge of the seat stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R3D_D3ViL Posted February 12, 2023 Report Share Posted February 12, 2023 (edited) Saw couple episodes of Farzi. Turned out to be a fun watch especially character banters have been done nicely. Also holy sh*t at the cuss words in this ? especially those between the minister and Sethupathi. They are coarser than what is usually the norm in OTT’s. Also impressed with Sethupathi’s hindi delivery. Looking forward to the rest. Edited February 12, 2023 by R3D_D3ViL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dante77 Posted February 12, 2023 Report Share Posted February 12, 2023 TLOU EP5 - Even if you have seen this stuff before and know what happens. It still hurts Henry and Sam are the most accurate casting! And their performance is just brilliant!!! Absolutely loved this episode!!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0verlord Posted February 12, 2023 Report Share Posted February 12, 2023 Tlou ep 5 - 9/10 1 point deducted for Ellie dialogues falling flat right. Bella Ramsey continuing to be the weakest link in a solid show imo. That gay magazine scene just fell flat. Ashley Johnson has a magical voice and god-tier dialogue delivery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus notice how all the infected coming out were clickers? They supposedly track and follow the noise coming from top like heavy vehicles driving around and smashing cars.

The scared sound she made when Henry **You know what** himself was freaking fantastic! Easily the most natural moment for Ellie and it wasn't even in the game! Listen to that again, it just added a lot to the experience. @dylanjosh - They did teased it up in this episode and last episode. It happened in the game too.
