I know zero about the game.
The Gay Fungus.
So far every episode has ended with a cliffhanger.

I mean not completing the events of the first video game within this season of the show.

You mean it’s hard to find a legitimate actress who is built like a body builder? Shocking.

The Reason ‘The Last Of Us’ Casting This Actress As Abby Isn’t A Slam Dunk
Fans have theorized for a while now that The Last of Us has already cast Abby with actress Shannon Berry, who is from The Wilds and is followed by Last of Us creator and co-showrunner Neil Druckmann on Instagram. Berry, in turn, follows Druckmann, Pedro Pascal, Bella Ramsey and the official show—

Yeah, but it doesn’t matter bc following the 2nd game story line will be a jump the shark moment.

Like a true cliffhanger? Slim
Unanswered questions/wanting to know how the characters are going to react to something we know but they don't? Absolutely

Eh, I've fallen into the "too slow, don't care" group. Enjoyed the first three. It's been a steady downhill after that.

I promise the next episode will be the most entertaining.

The actor who plays David is credited with only one episode on IMDB, so it would appear they will begin an end his saga in episode 8. Unless this is a 90 minute episode, that seems like a letdown. They can build some drama stretching that partially into a second episode.
How in the heck did those video games even work or even yet not even dusty. It had been like 20 years right? Even well kept those things always break down...

All the zombie shows have to push the envelope just to make it entertaining. I mean we know it’s make believe so whatever…TWD was very good at that…
Is it though?
I know.
But decent science fiction should be tied to the possible, and this isn't.
I am not a fan of fantasy and have stopped watching.
I get it. Others like it. To each their own.
Curious as to your examples of decent science fiction.

You spend a lot of time posting on the thread of a show that you hate. Nothing better to do?

Believe it or not, the vast majority of the viewers have not played the video game. Assuming that the show was built just to satisfy the game players like you is foolish. They are looking for huge viewership.
As someone who had never heard of the video game, but loves the show, I did not consider this a waste of an episode. Here is what it had for people like me:
- a better understanding of Ellie's persona, and why she is so angry most of the time
- learning how/why Marlene found Ellie
- learned more about what FEDRA is about
- learned why Ellie is so afraid of being left alone, and why she clings to Joel
- They even tied in the book of lame jokes/puns that she pesters Joel with
Summary: More excellent writing and great acting. Loved it.

Everything you described was in the video game
I try to avoid stepping on the twigs and branches.
Yes and I don’t think malls even had vintage 80s arcades 20 years ago. There are a lot of implausibilities in this show so far.
It is about being realistic with the parameters that are given. Since it is given that these fungus zombies exist we accept that but other things that happen must still remain realistic within the parameters.
Very true.... but I could "suspend my belief" in thinking this could of been a retro/vintage type arcade. All of those who were around during those times can surely remember the frustration when showing up and your favorite video game was "under repair".... These things were lucky to last a whole year without something going wrong with them....
I haven’t seen anything that couldn’t be considered realistic within the parameters of a fungus zombie event.
