They filmed in Calgary and said KC looked more like it than Pittsburgh and they wanted the events of the next episode to be further along in their journey.
Yeah, and I definitely wouldn't describe Ellie as whiny. On the contrary she's extremely tough. She's definitely got attitude though, and early teens are full of that. And Ellie's sense of humor reminds me so much of my daughter. She loves to tell bad jokes and puns and hear me groan about it, but I also kind of laugh. That dynamic between Ellie and Joel in the show really hit home for me.
Got ya and I'm sure 99% of people watching have no idea how out of the way KC would be on that trip.
Its a few hours out of the way. But that's assuming normal travel. There could be areas that Joel would want to avoid based on FEDRA\hostile groups\infected
Yep, I've got a 17yo, 15yo and nearly 14yo and the character reminds me a lot of my kids. That age when they swing between a goofy kid and a serious adult on an hourly basis.
I think most posters here miss the point. Maybe the description of Ellie as whiny might be off, but when I said she gave me Carl vibes, it is because Joel gives her instructions and literally 10 minutes later she is not listening and doing the opposite.
Very irritating. If you can’t see the similarities, kinda dumb.

Kids not listening? Well I never!
why would Joel travel with just a bolt action rifle and a revolver. He had access so all kinds of weaponry when they were at Bill's house, but he didn't take any of it. In an apocalyptic situation I'm thinking you need guns with high capacity clips.
Because even in an apocalypse, Iowa is a ****** place to drive through.
“Maybe” calling her whiny “might” be off? It’s completely off base. She’s not whiny at all. Either you are just hearing what you want to hear, or you are searching for a reason to complain (whine) yourself.
As far as not listening. I know right? Joel told her she couldn’t have a gun. She didn’t listen, and 10 minutes there she was, saving his ass because she didn’t listen.
Joel is definitely the type to stick with what he's comfortable with, and what he knows is reliable. He's doing everything he can to avoid situations where something like high capacity clips would be necessary.
That's one of the things I like about the approach they've taken to the infected in the TV show. It's not the walking dead where they casually killing 1000's. Joel and Tess, who definitely are treated like the badasses of the quarantine zone got into a fight with 2? clickers and it was a frantic fight that ended in disaster.
At some point he made a comment about the ammo for assault rifles and similar weapons are very hard to find. He even left one behind in a stash house because of it.
I agree with this. I've never done the math but I always wonder on those zombie shows where there is hordes of undead zombies and people can just easily mow them down. Wouldn't the math eventually have their numbers pretty low?
And in the game they went through Pittsburgh so following that route wouldn't be a stretch to go through KC. It still bothers me a bit that they don't make more of an effort to avoid big cities but then I guess there wouldn't be much action.
I thought about this and I'm guessing it has to do with not having lots of readily available gasoline and what is there has degraded so vehicle range is limited. Staying on main highways means more cars to siphon from and less distance to travel.
Anyone else get some anxiety imagining navigating a cross country road trip during the apocalypse on some old paper map.
