BONUS:
Fans who followed the show’s press junket and read some early reviews are probably aware that episode three has already received a lot of praise. In fact, Troy Baker, who voiced and performance-captured Joel in the video game, had this to say about the upcoming episode:
I’ve seen up to episode five and, I can tell you right now, you get to episode three, you’re done. You are standing on your desk, ‘O, Captain! My Captain!’ What it sets up in the first two episodes, it introduces you to the world if you have no idea what it is. It takes all of your expectations and just gets rid of them.
