# Talk:Long, Long Time (The Last of Us)

The show is only 3 episodes in, and "best to date" is both factual (covering best overall until otherwise needed) and more sustainable writing (if episode 4 is suddenly the best, the 2nd option means you don't have to change 2 wiki pages). Mxbndr (talk) 07:47, 31 January 2023 (UTC)

@Mxbndr: Adding "to date" is both unnecessary and untrue; the current phrasing is both factual and sustainable. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 07:57, 31 January 2023 (UTC)
Neither "Best episode overall" and "Best to date" are factual. They are both opinion-based. Saying that current phrasing is "sustainable" implies that you have already decided this will be the best episode forever, regardless of what happens next, which suggests an ulterior motive. 58.80.201.106 (talk) 06:55, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
I haven't decided anything, but the sources have. Unless every journalist and reviewer retrospectively changes their mind, the phrasing is, in fact, sustainable. Suggestions of "an ulterior motive" are laughable. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 07:02, 9 January 2024 (UTC)

Do you think it's important enough to mention Ellie gets a gun this episode? It's mentioned by secondary source recaps:

Joel won't let Ellie take a gun; but when he isn't looking, she finds the pistol Frank kept stashed in a writing desk, and she shoves into her backpack. This will undoubtedly appear again later.
By the episode's end, she’ll have one she’s keeping secret from Joel. (This would seem to be Chekhov's gun in action, but we'll have to wait and see.)
Ellie, who has been begging for a gun, finds one, which she stashes in her backpack without telling Joel. That will either be a problem or come in handy soon.
I think that if the gun becomes a plot point in a future episode, that it should be mentioned here. Thoughts? Umimmak (talk) 21:52, 5 February 2023 (UTC)

 Done, good point. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 00:18, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
