'The Last of Us' HBO Series (NO GAME SPOILERS!) | Season 2 Coming 2025 (7 Episodes) | Season 2 Official Teaser Released

[Starski]

That was a great episode

For real

And I would say I get it but damn

There was one shirtless scene… y’all ever been in a gym locker room and then one kiss scene.

Reading this thread I woulda thought the most shyt was going on….

And the backstory to the letter made the whole “me and you, we are here for a purpose, we have a job” part of the letter MUCH more powerful.

 

[Avisible Man]

That was a great episode. Yeah it was

But it was still great to see these characters fleshed out like this.

Yeah it was great to see them dudes fleshed out. Thank God we ain't see them dudes pull they flesh out.

 

[Th3G3ntleman]

but this was cool. I like that the show is trying to carve out its own lane a bit. I respect it.

 

[Gloxina]

u watch The White Lotus? that was dope..

Yea definitely! But that isn’t the same. That’s like a recurring miniseries. New characters every season

 

[Poetical Poltergeist]

but this was cool. I like that the show is trying to carve out its own lane a bit. I respect it.

Nah. Its predictable.

Producers: What are we missing here?

Writers: Faggets?

Producer: Yes! Jesus christ we almost forgot. Wheres the check list!? Who the fukk didn't check off the gay sex storyline to be included?! Heads are gonna roll!
Phew, that was close.

Making global news.



And spoiling shyt.

@Stevie Ray Thanks, Breh!

 

[Diunx]

Fantastic ep but man Bill got shot in a dumb ass way, how are you just in the middle of the streets shooting, specially with a scoped rifle, you would thing the survivalist would know to take cover like the fakkit did.

 

[daemonova]

This show is absolute perfection


HBO programming has the entire year on lock. TLOU, Succession, HOtD, etc. Dammit man.

Get caught up on Perry Mason, season 2 is in March

 

[Diunx]

Y'all talk like The Walking Dead tv show doesn't exist and that it didn't already do this

shyt was trash.

How much of the first games success / story was really due to druckman?

Because what we're getting with the show (at least episode 3) and what the game was are pretty different.

Bill and Frank's arc (Frank really didn't have one fr) has been totally retconned.

The TV show is supposed to be a faithful love letter to the fans of the game, so they got to know how much of a fan favorite bill and his part in the game was. What they did here was something else entirely. Almost a slap in the face.

They includes Druckman, who is the show runner.

Druckman said from the jump that there would be some changes to the show, either to include stuff they thought about doing in the game or to better fit a tv format.

This was never presented as a 1:1 remake of the game.

Episode was super divisive looking around the web. How much of the first games success / story was really due to druckman?

According to who? The show needs to be good. All that other shyt is fans in their feelings.

 

[EzekelRAGE]

Someone on resetera said "Anyone not moved by this[episode] has either never been in love or is a massive homophobe."
Like why cant the episode just be good but overhyped as hell. Then the "best episode of tv ever" takes are trash as hell too. BCS, Andor, and Severance from this year alone gets this episode up outta here.

 

[CW_1991]

Common sense. Who else but the loyal fans were they supposed to have in mind when adapting the game into a show?

Obviously it's their IP and they can take any risks or liberties they want but from a hardcore gaming fan perspective, calling this good could be considered a big reach.

This was essentially brokeback mountain whereas in the game it was something completely different.

It's not a "homophobia thing". It's a "this didn't happen thing".

Yo had to skip a few parts, But this was damn near perfect episode.

Very well written and great performances from both these guys.
