Last Of Us series 1 episode 8

The only appearance of characters [and a storyline] that were explicitly Christian portrayed them as monsters. A rather predictable cheap shot by 'Hollywood', I think.

So you got to E8! I thought you would have given up.

The woke episodes are a bit cringy but I didn’t mind the series overall as it was well put together. I’ll give S2 a chance.

As for E8 I thought it was excellent; pure horror and humanity at its lowest start to finish. Rape, murder, cannibalism, religious mental abuse, torture it’s got it all. David is a hateful piece of human waste. The penicillin medication scene was a bit of a nonsense though.

The only presence Christianity had in the show was, surprise surprise, ultra-negative.

Ooh, I didn't notice any "woke episodes".

I’m referring to the one with the two ageing gay guys and the other one where Ellie has a lesbian encounter with a … yes you guessed it a black girl.

Not woke, more virtuous DE&I.
Added nothing to the series, the story nor the characters.

You'd have preferred, for the story's sake, that everyone was white and heterosexual?

Lol, ok.

No I would have preferred it if two episodes hadn’t been wasted on exploring gay relationships in survival situations.

Maybe they could run a parallel series called

“the last of us gays”

Why was the only cannibalism portrayed in the series allotted to the only Christian characters? It was deliberate. If push were to come to shove in a post-apocalyptic world, would Christians be the first, and seemingly only people, to eat their fellow humans?

Were they a “Christian” group? I’d have to watch it again.

I thought they were some sort of cult following a charismatic leader. I can’t remember.

Bruised your precious sensibilities, did they?

I doubt it.

The episodes were true to the video game the series is based on.

Not at all. What an odd thing to say.

Perhaps you either didn’t read my post or chose to read something into it.

Touched a nerve.
