Henry, Joel, Sam, Ellie

This was a great episode! We got so many things that I didn't expect, and it certainly delivered. The acting in this show is top notch, and I am really excited to see what happens next.
This was a great ending to these characters, they were short-lived and that was good. I wasn't really resonating with them, but it

Because a BLOATER SHOWED UP. HOLY COW! This scene was no joke! Amazing acting by the characters, amazing cinematography, just a cool scene in general with the ground caving in and the infected literally sprinting over each other. Wow.

Oh, Sam and Henry. These boys were so good. They really showed their teamwork together in this episode and I loved the ASL aspect of their relationship - from the behind the scenes it seemed like they were really nice guys. But in the show, we saw their demise due to Sam's bite.. which Ellie tried to save with her blood (which I thought was interesting). But, they really were the stars of this episode for sure.

I'm trying a new way of reviewing, by implementing a new way to review - using a format taken from 2toRamble! And that’s the system! Rate those 5 categories out of 10, average your score, and that’s your /10 Rambler Rating! You can rate each category to the nearest hundredth, tenth, whole number, or whatever you please.
This comes out to a total score of 3.8.. which rounds up to a 4/5! I'm going to still work on this review scale and scoring, but this is where we're at for The Last of Us Episode 5. Can't wait to see where we go from here.
| Category | Score | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Emotional Impact | 4 | This episode was great! Loved the way Sam and Henry were portrayed and truly a great story. |
| Characters | 4 | Henry, Sam, Joel, Ellie, Kathleen - amazing. |
| Plot | 4 | The beginning took a little bit to get great, but the majority was great! |
| Dialogue / Prose | 3 | Limited in this episode, but good. |
