Up to now, The Last Of Us has been gripping, with me eagerly awaiting the arrival of the next episode. However, episode 7 has left me thinking "I hope that the next episode gets back on track".
I get that we ought to see/hear how Ellie came to be infected and the opening 2 minutes (maybe even the first 60 seconds) flagged up that this was the episode to do it. But......that could have been done in a few minutes of flashback in a proper storyline. Instead, we spend ages going nowhere, losing momentum and leaving the viewer in danger of falling asleep.
I'm not going to mark this episode as containing spoilers, because it doesn't. It's dull and predictable and had me wishing that it would hurry up and get to the end, I had better things to do. There were no surprises other than how long would we have to wait to get to the inevitable plot "twist"?
Come on guys, you can do (have done) better than this.
