I enjoyed it, but it was hard to shake the feeling the entire time that it was a "lesser" episode in the season. I actually felt Sarah(?)'s actress was a bit stilted and drug Ramsey down to her level in some scenes, and the scenes where Ramsey really put her back into it, the difference was quite noticeable.

I found myself glancing at the clock a few times during the ep, not because I was bored mind you, but was mentally clocking how much of the episode was going to be flashback and was surprised when the flashback interval passed the 30m mark. I'm mostly in agreement with the thread that the pacing would have been better spent trimming the fat down by ~5-10m and showing a bit more around the "current" Joel/Ellie timespace.
