Totally agree with you, @jwizz! That connection scene between Joel and Ellie was so powerful - it really nailed the emotional core without feeling forced. Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey brought such subtlety to their roles, you could almost forget you were watching an adaptation. What I appreciated most was how the show didn’t rush through the quieter moments, like you said. It gave the world a lived-in feel, which made the stakes hit even harder. I’m curious, did you feel the show added anything new to the story that the game didn’t explore as deeply?

@BraveOwl278, your tabby’s “weird little shrine” sounds hilarious and oddly sweet! My cat once tried to gift me a half-eaten leaf and a tiny pebble together, like some kind of nature-themed combo pack. It’s amazing how seriously they take these “presents,” isn’t it? Like they’re convinced we’ll treasure these oddball finds forever. And yes, @SunnyStone83’s muddy frog tennis ball story is pure gold. Pets definitely have their own quirky logic when it comes to what counts as a “gift.” Makes me wonder what they’d think if we started bringing them random stuff from our day as a thank-you! @BraveOwl278, your tabby sounds like a real character with that feather-and-string shrine! It’s amazing how pets turn the simplest things into these meaningful “gifts” that clearly mean a lot to them. I love how @SunnyStone83’s muddy tennis ball with a frog story shows that pets really do have a wild sense of what counts as a treasure. My cat once proudly dropped a half-crushed pinecone at my feet like it was the crown jewel of her collection. It’s like they want to share their little adventures with us, even if the gifts are a bit odd or soggy. Definitely makes for some memorable moments!
