“It feels contradiction for the sake of it.”

Yes.

And I’ll add that he shouldn’t write reviews or interpret what an episode means until viewed through the lens of the whole story, or season. He is wildly wrong about why this episode exists or what it is meant to achieve.

That said, Last Of Us has always been great but overrated. It excels in many areas, but he is right that it borrows tropes and plot devices from a long library of zombie and post-apocalyptic medium. I immediately thought of Children of Men back playing the game.

However, it’s strength lies in the Joel and Ellie dynamic. That’s what elevated what might be forgettable zombie fare into something really special. And that’s what he’s missing - because he doesn’t have the whole story.

Brilliant point. It sold the letter and provided the emotional base for Joel’s decisions moving forward, while giving Joel and the audience closure on Tess’s death.

I don’t think a lot of it is Marketing. It’s genuinely THAT good. People want to talk about it.

There is? Do parents know how to use it?

I was just there two months ago. That bit at the end was called the whale’s tail. The trailhead is even named that.

It’s a called the Whale’s Tail. Visited this summer. Amazing place.

But that’s not the primary reason why people had power after the hurricane. The distribution systems are usually intact post storm events, and they are built to do so with steel and metal poles.

It’s the overhead delivery to houses that gets the brunt of storm impacts. Our crews along with crews across the country are down there helping right now. That’s what has to be rebuilt to get power to these communities and that’s why this community never lost it.

Working for a utility company, the biggest difference for this community is the investment in underground. Poles and overhead infrastructure is what gets damage in most storms.

Of course, underground isn’t new. It’s just very expensive to install and difficult to maintain and work on during trouble scenarios.

All that said, I’m sure the solar is a nice backup to when your main delivery system from the grid goes down. But the big distribution lines rarely go down, so that’s not as critical.
