I appreciate that this show can get intense and violent without devolving into gore porn the way Walking Dead did. looking back I just didn't really need to see characters with brains bashed in, intestines hanging out, limbs chopped off on a weekly basis. your own imagination is always more terrifying anyways.

Also where were the towns people? When the place where you eat is going up in flames and smoke wouldn't you come out and try to save it?
Joel and Ellie killed most of the able bodied men. The rest are underfed and weak and hunkering down in a storm. They're not going to have a quick response time.

True I guess. If I were Joel and Ellie i would have taken over a house to rest and heal. and to try some tasty smoked kids.

Joel and Ellie probably doomed the rest of those cult members to death by freezing and starvation.
At least they might have a little bit of cooked ground human left after what Ellie did to David's head/torso in that burning building.
They really do just destroy every ‘community’ in their path
What? That other community in Canmore is just fine. They've still got sheep and everything!
This episode definitely did get a little 'Walking Dead' at times, but...I rag on TWD a lot, but moments where your primary characters really step up and start taking matters into their own hands are awesome!
I actually liked the vented rage.
I think a lot of people can relate to the frustration of doing something difficult to try and help an overall cause and being stymied and halted by crazy people and just raging.
I found that I really felt the anger of someone doing something difficult to help these people and just being infuriated.
Besides...its nice to see Joel and Ellie finally put their foot down and show that they're the baddest bastards in this valley.

Meh...they looked like they were on their last legs already. Their leadership was totally incompetent and holding them hostage. On top of that they all looked pretty beat down and abused.
The group members are probably better off scattering to the wind.
By my count, Joel punched soldier boy 15 times in the face in the pilot. Ella got preacher/teacher/pedo 22 times with the cleaver last night.
Ella > Joel. Discuss.
Was everyone only following creepy guy's lead because
Spoiler!
he would cube them up for stew otherwise? Surely two or three of them could have taken him out a long time ago? I guess that's part of what the show is about, exploring just how much people would take or put up with if it comes right down to it. Yikes.

The 8.1 million viewers who tuned into Episode 8, titled “When We Are In Need,” contributed to a 74% increase from the viewership of the series premiere, which drew an audience of 4.7 million people.
Adapted from the popular PlayStation games of the same name, “The Last of Us” was an instant success for HBO when it premiered in January. Those 4.7 million initial viewers scored the network its second-most watched debut in over a decade — only behind “Game of Thrones” prequel series “House of the Dragon.”
I don't think he was dead until after the 18th hack!

I assumed you’d keep the human butchering part of your operation fairly separate from the rest of the townsfolk so people didn’t accidentally walk in on it.
Do you think they were killing living people from their town to eat, just send raiders out to kill people to eat or just eating the dead they found? My thought is that the guys attacking Joel were hunting for food both him and his horse.

Yeah it's Okotoks. I forgot were the location vid had for the house scenes
It was on Suntree Lane. I lived in that area back in the late 80s and man was it a weird trip down memory lane with the pond and green space between the houses.

I'll take things that only happen in rural Alberta for $500, Alex
That kids really lucky. They recently overturned the Harper legislation that put a 1 year minimum sentence on any crime committed with a firearm or an imitation firearm:
