Long, Long Time
Written by Craig Mazin
Directed by Peter Hoar
10 miles west of Boston, Joel and Ellie begin hiking to Lincoln.
Coming across a mass of human skeletons, Joel explains that about a week after Outbreak Day, FEDRA evacuated small towns and transported people to a QZ.
But if there wasn't enough room, excess were killed.
September 30th, 2003.
Hardened survivalist Bill (Nick Offerman) lives in his underground bunker and regularly goes looting.
Four years later, Bill takes a shine to Frank (Murray Bartlett) and romance blossoms.
Spinning on to 2023.
A terminally ill Frank asks Bill to help him die.
On Frank's 'final' day, they get married and during dinner, both take a lethal dose of sleeping pills and retire to the bedroom.
Bang goes any interaction between Bill and Ellie then.
Some time later, Joel and Ellie stockpile Bill's weapons and supplies.
They take his truck and leave for Wyoming to find Tommy.
When Bill Met Frank
Apart from guest leads giving fine performances, I can't understand why most are having kittens.
In the game, off-screen, Frank hung himself after being bitten multiple times to ensure he couldn't turn.
Rather than love story primarily taking centre stage, playing out the above towards the end would've been far more effective.
Do we buy that Bill built a resource happy neighbourhood all by himself?
I'm calling bullshit.
Why has universe's danger magically subsided?
Finally, Bill leaving ass completely exposed to raiders was so fucking DUMB.
On a sad note, prolific TV actress Annie Wersching (who provided voice and performance capture for Tess) has died aged just 45.
R.I.P.
