>In fact, the episode is actually so self-contained that you could treat it like a 74 minute movie if you aren’t interested in watching a fungal zombie apocalypse show and it would absolutely be worth it.

This is personally why it didn't do much for me, albeit it was obviously not anywhere near a 1/10.

And that’s a perfectly fine take! I’m in the “I loved it” crowd. She’d a few tears for sure, but can see how people think it doesn’t do anything for the main story. I can argue it does, but that’d be spoiler filled.

It does, but arguably not much - and what it does in terms of >!Joel's characterisation!< could've been accomplished in other ways.

It was obviously an emotional and very well crafted mostly bottle episode, and in terms of that it was about as high quality as you're gunna get, but in the context of the overall series you could honestly skip it and not miss much.
