I give credit for making a clickbait title with an actual well written article to back it up. However, this reads like episode 3 being well done is a weakness rather than a strength. I had no idea where the story would go. I didn’t know they would end up lovers until the piano scene. I didn’t know if there’d be betrayal, heartbreak, or if the raiders would get them. I didn’t know if they’d both make it. Yet you’re rooting for 2 people in an apocalypse regardless of the morbid possibilities.

If someone tells you, “that’s been done before”, you tell them, “Well, I haven’t done it before”. No ones gonna deliver the same idea in the exact same way, especially in a collaborative work. I’m glad we got the episode that we got.
