    Jesse Christ | The Last of Us S2E7 "Convergence" Recap and Review

    In this episode of Watchers on the Couch, Tim and Mike delve into the season finale of The Last of Us Season 2, titled 'Convergence.' What was the point of the Scar Island scene? Where are they getting fuel for these boats 20 years post outbreak? Why are we supposed to care about a Season 3? The automatic show note generator wants us to tell you the following: The hosts express their disappointment with the pacing and execution of key scenes, particularly the confrontations and the cliffhanger ending. They reflect on the lack of viewer engagement and the challenges that future seasons may face in maintaining interest. The conversation highlights the ethical implications of violence portrayed in the series and the need for deeper character arcs to resonate with the audience.That last sentence is as b******t. No one would accuse us of highlighting ethical implications of violence. I don't the word "ethical" has appeared in this podcast in the 10 years we've been doing it.
