See that description is accurate for this episode, the idea that it's no longer about saving money like it used to be, especially on a show like this that spared no expense. The original contention is that you yourself didn't call it a bottle episode, you described it as an episode that was "clearly meant to save time and budget".

That's what people took issue with, and is simply not true.

I love how TLOU takes these zombie tropes, like an immune child, a newly infected person sacrificing themselves, or the self sufficient prepper, but adds so much story and characterisation they feel fresh and realistic.
