That was the weakest episode to date, but it has some good growth for Joel and Ellie as they warm up to each other more. I think Ramsey is doing a perfectly fine job, although I could have done without the fan service car scene, that felt pasted in. Amazing sets this week and some very nice shots to look at. Unfortunately the Kathleen thing is coming across as some very hamfisted "see this person is blinded by revenge and it hurts everyone, human failings are worse than zombies, isn't that deep" nonsense that represents some of Druckmann's worst instincts. Hopefully they find a way to make that less boringly obvious or at least that it ends quickly.
