And onto Episode 6. The show is over folks. We found Tommy. Everyone can go home now.
Oh but wait; the entire driving force for Joel wasn't apparently enough so onwards we go. Suspense intensifies. Hopefully the two well fed survivalists in the cabin stay well fed and safe (they were pretty funny as a couple). Apparently in this post apocalyptic world food isn't an issue for anyone except when we needed Henry and Sam to have a reason to come out of hiding.
Maybe this sort of plot works in the game where players dismiss the fact they have to keep on chugging along, but damn does it fall short in a TV show. I could maybe buy Joel giving up the safety and comfort of Bill's place because of the driving force to find Tommy. Yet Tommy doesn't seem to have meant much to Joel once he was found; some possible promise of the impossible with Ellie is a bigger attraction and reason to leave another safe and stable community? If Joel ever does get his sheep farm I don't know how I'll react.
See y'all next week.
