The Last of Us coming to HBO

[Buzzrock 14922]

I did think for minute “What if this is the end of Joel in the game, and it just continues on with the brother?” But that was before Joel ended up going with her after all.

i would assume it's moonshine of some sort.  although there would be tens of thousands of barrels for the taking in kentucky right after this broke out.

How so? He was stabbed and didn't immediately die, i.e. an injury.

Nothing, it's technically correct - I just thought it was an interesting word choice as opposed to say "death."  But maybe that's not technically accurate.  Whatever, we'll see.

That Pappy 55 has got to be pretty damn good if you can find it in the rickhouse.

300 people living in a relatively small area, and they don't really see/interact with anybody else in the world except the same 300 people?

 

Fuck yes they have a still.  And a small weed plantation and possibly a poppy garden.

Well in the game Joel would definitely be flashing red right now but he’s still alive and has time to press the big center button and craft a health kit (assuming they have 1 rag and 1 water), then he would need to press Up and R2 and he would be good again.

But yeah, I’m curious how they resolve this.

Picking stone fire fly dog tags might help.

Gabriel Luna (Tommy) sat in with Del Castillo last night at Saxon Pub. Plays a pretty sweet guitar.

[wild_turkey 3166]

I’ve been playing the game for the first time and just caught up to the point of Joel’s injury. Wife convinced me to stop to avoid spoilers but it’s very tempting to keep going.

At first I assumed he would live through it, but I’m considering the possibility that he could die and the game/show could shift to everything being from Ellie’s perspective. I hope not because the dynamic between them makes the story great.

I’m not entirely sure we’ll get the answer to this question tonight.

The trailer for tonight's episode has zero Joel and Ellie is in a new environment.

Tonight's show looks to be an Ellie flashback story (was a DLC for the game).

[Buzzrock 14922]

Spoiler!

Right? Shit guys

[Hank_Hill 18878]

Huh? Thought it was obvious this week is a flashback to her getting bit for the first time in the mall.

[Red Five 40862]

If you watch the previews of the next episode, which I don't. 

I swear, this entire forum needs spoiler re-education.

Meh. It’s something they already told us has happened.

Watched Ep1 with wife tonight, at the very emphatic urging of coworker and good friend, whom I told, "I don't like zombie movies.  I hate that shit.  I watched less than 15 minutes ever of The Walking Dead. The White Walkers in GoT were fucking stupid. Etc, etc."

"Oh this is different.  You have to watch it!"

on the 2nd fucking zombie chewing on a person's head, we bailed.

Sorry.  I totally get the appeal and love it that folks enjoy the show. An escape flick can be awesome!  This one's not for Slorchy though.  If you tell someone straight up that you don't care for a certain genre, I don't get the insistence to power through it.   I want to LIKE what I am watching.

Enjoy.  I have honestly enjoyed reading the thread tonight MUCH more than I liked the show.  Can tell lots of folks are enjoying it, and that's cool!

Need to find that carousel version of "Just Like Heaven" that they just played...

Edited February 27, 2023 by speed817

[YChang 3453]

The music they pick for this series is outstanding. Also, just tons of great 80s hits they’ve used so far. Some beautifully lit scenes this episode, especially the carousel. 

[Bama Chick 28596]

Another Sobbing Sunday

I lost it first when the music started on the carousel ride.

And when Joel squeezed her hand……absolute ugly crying.

This show, man.

[speed817 19380]

 

[speed817 19380]

Coming up.....Sunday vs Wednesday..

[wild_turkey 3166]

I enjoyed tonight's episode. It didn't advance the plot much, but I think it adds a lot of depth to Ellie's character and helps us understand her motivations for certain things.

[NAVY 6747]

Cure Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me piano over the carousel scene. Breathtaking

So you didn’t watch episode 1, you watched half of it, or less.

Fair enough if you don’t like the genre.

There’s been literally three “zombie scenes” - probably 8-10 minutes total- in the 7-8 hours of the show.

It's a show with a great story, acting, music, and overall production quality, set in a world where zombies exist.

If you really hate zombies stories, then the positives probably can't overcome that, which is fine. Certainly not for everyone.

If you're willing to give it a chance beyond the occasional zombie scene, it's been a fantastic series so far. That's why your coworker wanted you to try it so much, which you did and it simply may not be for you.

[bernorange 8362]

First episode had a lot of zombie scenes as it was the outbreak origin.  It's not typical of the rest of the series though.  This isn't World War Z.

[mdmost 43004]

Man, don't hit me with Lullaby stuff in this show. I played a lot of these for my oldest when she was a baby. That's the last thing I need to think about when watching this show...with her.

It’s lullaby baby or something like that.

Poor Ellie. Throughout the episode all i could think about was how she had previously told Joel that everyone she has ever cared about has died or left. She obviously loved Riley. We all knew what was in store. And it still was a gut punch....

The homo Ron Swanson episode was what I thought the best episode of tv that I have seen since early on in the Game of Thrones days. 

[Buzzrock 14922]

Probably my least favorite episode but it still makes it over a high bar. It was just all very predictable. I was glad that they didn’t leave us wondering about Joel.

Spoiler

I wanna know how it went down though.  They were both bitten.  Neither knew about Ellie's immunity.  They were planning on riding the thing out together.

How did Ellie realized she had immunity without Riley tearing her apart like that little kid tried to in Episode 5?

Spoiler

My guess is Ellie uses the gun to kill her friend after Riley’s mind is gone, and she’s found by the Fireflies who were going to ship Riley to Atlanta- thus the chains and locking Ellie up to see if she ever gets infected
