"When can we bury him?" Oh geeze! You see, in the game, we never meet David's flock. So this scene is entirely knew. But having played the game and knowing David's secrets...I think I can guess the answer.
Oh! Hello Troy Baker, voice of Joel in the video game now playing David's right-hand man! Nice!
In the game, Ellie was using a bow and arrow. But the change is understandable.
What's with the voice?
The conversation before going into he shelter for some fire was pretty much word for word. The fire chat between Ellie and David started out the same, but is giving David a lot more exposition.
This "everything happens for a reason" bit was in the game...but they cut out a lot of infected fighting and trust building. There were clickers and a couple bloaters. They cut out a lot of action here.
Okay, umm...I realize this is a pretty desperate measure. But let's just keep in mind for a moment that she has no idea was a single doze should be, how many doses Joel's going to need or how often. Also lets not forget that if it does take repeated doses...she was only given a single syringe. Not even mentioning what if Joel's allergic to penicillin. Not faulting her for doing what she has to do in a desperate moment. Just saying, it's probably a very long shot that this would work. That actually goes for the game too.
"What is it?" "Venison."
*eating montage*
*after everyone's started eating then they walk in with the deer in tow*
Awkward!
Oh...back handed slap! And more brainwashing and creepy cult stuff that, yeah it was implied in the game...but not shown. Did they really need to make him even more creepy than he was in the game? Cause he was pretty damn creepy in the game.
Do they have to show them eating it?
In the game, Joel wakes up and goes to find Ellie and runs into Davids men. I guess to shorten things up, they find him in the house instead.
The interrogation scene hit most of the important parts. It's not really word for word, but it was beat for beat. The show kind of does a lot of that. They say the exact same thing, but they use ever so slightly different lines so it's hard to say "line for line." But it's very much idea for idea. So it gets a pass in my book.
Geeze! I didn't think it was possible for David to be any creepier than he was in the game. But holy hell, they did it!
Soooo, yeah, in a meta sense, Ellie just killed Joel.
Pausing just after Ellie finishes hacking up David. Umm...yes, it was every bit as intense in the game. Though in the game, this is where Joel finds Ellie, in the resteraunt having just killed David. The mouth moves but the sound drops out as the music plays. But yeah...aside from some added dialogue from David, that is shot for shot how it happens in the game. And...damn! Can we just take a second to remember Ellie is like 14 years old? Damn!
Baby Girl. He said the same thing in the game. Freaking cuts deep.

Okay, it's late. So I'm going to have to save the last one, hopefully for tomorrow. But I think you can tell from my reactions...having played the game does not prepare you for the show.
