A huge improvement

Episode 5 Endure and Survive brings back the tense and fast paced tone found in various scenes in prior episodes, while providing a balance throughout the episodes with emotional tones and themes. In this episode, it continues on the cliffhanger featuring Henry and Sam, and we see them in a much bigger role than their two second cameo in the previous episode, as well as seeing Perry and Kathleen again.
While many people disliked the introduction of Kathleen and Perry as original characters, I felt it brought more depth to the rebels, who weren't featured in much detail in the games. Many people also shared their dislikes with Melanie Lynskey's performance, criticising her soft and "un-frightening" demeanor and voice, however I liked this, as it goes against the cliche of all antagonists being callous and rough.
This episode has much more narrative and story then the two previous episodes and was a great continuation of the adventure of Joel and Ellie in the last episode.
10/10.
