Oh I think everyone is for the most part.

I know I was being heavily facetious when I brought up the lighter scenario at the end episode 2.

And the sheer frothing at the mouth outrage being displayed by Bostonians about the misrepresentation of their Greater Civic Area at the beginning of Episode 3 seems, at least to me, rather tongue-in-cheek.

As was my comparison of the show to a dark and gritty rendition of Mario Bros.

Quite frankly, I think people are just having a little fun nitpicking at minutiae, and I think we should be glad, if not overjoyed, that they are!

When people poke fun or nitpick over minor, inconsequential crap...it usually means that there really isnt anything substantial to complain about, which is a generally fair assessment of the show thus far.

TLOU is nailing it which is why people stoop to whining about zippos, battery acids, the shelf-life of indeterminate fuel and mind-boggling Massachusetts geography as well as the ludicrous spelling of the word 'Massachusetts.'

'Tis a silly word!

If you thought this season would have a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention.
