Reply to comment by TheReverend5 in [OC] "The Last of Us" S1 episodes rating by IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes by Probio

I don't think it's that. I liked episode 3 but hated 7. On a season with 9 episodes, 2 were spent on side quests. To me it was an issue with pacing more than anything. I kind of enjoyed the show but I am not head over hills about it

It definitely is that, at least for episode 3. Coordinated review bombs are a pretty common occurrence these days.

you'd have to be willfully blind not to be able to see that obvious review bombing. the mental gymnastics some people on this sub do are quite remarkable.

Yup, episode 3 was excellent, everybody agrees. 7 came off 2 very intense forward moving episodes and added very little in terms of character growth, the expository stuff was already mostly assumed and by that point, we knew Ellie had grown a strong bond with Joel, regardless of whatever interpersonal traumas she had before.

Yeap. They show has had odd choices. Pacing is a huge problem. B plots that add nothing to the overall character arcs or plot. The almost non existant infected is a third huge problem

It was 40 minutes of good content stretched into an hour. Needed a B plot to break it up.
