    Yeap. It was once called the "Citizen Kane of video games". While I think that's a little hyperbolic, there's no denying its place in the inner sanctum of all time greatest games.

    Its one of my favorite stories, regardless of medium. The fact that it's presented in such an immersive fashion is the icing on the cake.

    Can't believe we have to wait just one more week+!

    It's not even a game to me. It's an experience. It's perfect in every way.

    I thought it was very well made and it truly felt like the game. You can tell there's been a lot of care taken here. Looking forward to the ride.

    I know absolutely nothing about the game, but the cast is terrific and I enjoyed the first double episode. The design of the creatures looks amazing.

    I know nothing of the game, but I liked the first episode.

    Some thoughts:

    - I like the whole fungus idea (it works in that it makes me nervous - could something like this happen??)

    - Fun to see Big Head from Silicon Valley pop up

    - I'm not sure if I actually dislike Bella Ramsey (who plays Ellie) or if she's doing a great job playing a character I dislike (I get the feeling we're supposed to sympathize with Ellie, but I can't)

    - Sometimes with (post)apocalyptic stories, I end up preferring the very beginning (where everything goes to shit) to everything that follows - now I wait to see if it moves forward, or bogs down into a season of dark 'n' dirty walking occasionally interrupted by yelling and dying ("we've discovered the location of the next outpost!" isn't plot development; it is plot deferment).
    It seems I'm miles above the surface of the Earth

    I can see across the whole of London and beyond

    Yeah, I agree. Maybe she will grow on me, but I hate to say this, she's odd looking to me.

    I know she had a small role on Game of Thrones that everyone really lost their minds over, but there's something off about her face.

    I'm glad I'm not the only one that thought that.
    Hearts are tough, she said, most times hearts don't break, and I'm sure that's right . . . but what about then? What about who we were then? What about hearts in Atlantis?

    First episode was phenomenal. In terms of world-building pilots, that was one of the best I've ever seen. Loving the respect to the source material.

    Give the Ellie actress a chance, I'm sure she'll grow on you. I trust Druckmann/Mazin's decision to cast her.

    Ellen Page was definitely the perfect casting for that role back in the day. Now, that might be a bit of an issue...

    If the adapted this 5 years ago, Kaitlyn Dever would've been perfect for Ellie.

    You're lucky, you can go into the show fresh without any preconceived notions of what the cast 'should' look like.

    I've played, replayed the games numerous times so even for me it's difficult to not have an image in my head of what Ellie should look like. I'm sure once I get another ep or two under my belt I'll be able to assess the actress on her own merits.

    I'm not a strong believer in the "they should look exactly like the character" thing. Pedro doesn't look much like Joel and nobody says anything.

    Yeah, Kaitlyn really could have portrayed Ellie as a character very well too. I liked Sadie in The Whale, but that's the only thing I've seen her in.

    No. I avoided all that 80s nostalgia stuff. Barely heard anything about it after the first season so I assumed it went off a cliff.

    Me either but it's always a nice touch, and an appreciated one.
