    Shameless point scoring exercise at further introducing homosexual relationships into mainstream tv.

    How? Bill was gay in the game. The show just expanded upon his story and took some creative liberties, and it did a great job of it imo. It added quite a bit of depth to his character.

    Thought that was Fantastic by the way.

    The acting there by Bill was great. Storyline was great and went right into depth of the background of his sexuality.

    I can see why the critics stated that was one of the best episodes in the full series.


    What a show this is going to be if it continues like this.

    Great episode. Properly expanded on the Bill and Frank story.

    The acting was top notch from both of them.

    They seem to be cutting a ton of the potential setpieces from the show.. probably due to budgetary reasons..

    Skyscraper and Downtown in Boston, high school in Bill's "town".. etc.

    The show is just incredible and that 3rd episode was up there with one of the best episodes i have ever seen on a series.

    Thought it was excellent. Spoilers galore obv

    I think the only way it could be criticised fairly would be the way he met Frank. The odds of another fellow gayman falling into his trap are quite a lot lower than if he knew him prior to the outbreak or something.
    Liked that song too and had never heard it before despite liking older music.

    The battle scene as well in which Bill ran right out into the open to have a gun fight was just so ridiculously stupid. His beard looked so fake too.

    I did feel a bit robbed of Ellie and Bill's bickering from the game.

    To be fair is not as if he’s doing a Sam smith and forcing his sexuality on to our TV sets

    Did not buy that Kathleen character at all, terrible casting.

    Enjoyed the rest, although the gun fight was disappointing.

    I really didn't like her addition. Didn't make sense, maybe they will expand on it but I don't buy her being the leader of a group of gruff men.

    Is she a part of the game Kathleen? Or just added to have a woman boss over the boys? :fear:
