Cool lil theory I read about the source of the outbreak….

Its possible that the virus comes from infected grain. From the games we know for sure the source was some type of food. In the show we saw them not make pancakes in the morning because they didn’t have the mix. Then they passed on those dry ass biscuits the neighbors had and Sarah didn’t eat them nasty ass raisin cookies. Finally Joel didn’t bring the birthday cake home.

Could be a reach but the director did say they would leave breadcrumbs to reveal the source of the infection in the show.

possibly in the yeast or flour

Good interview from Gabriel Luna (Tommy)


Ultimately, how much did you rely on the Tommy (Jeffrey Pierce) from the games?
I felt it was important to play through it and get a true sense of what Jeffrey Pierce had done with Tommy’s voice and performance capture in the games. So as I played through it and familiarized myself with Tommy, it became more and more evident that we were in the same channel, energy wise, historically and culturally. There were a lot of similarities there. After Craig and Neil watched my tape, they told me that they saw the soul of Tommy, and I started to understand what they were saying as I was being introduced to Tommy. That said, knowing the place where he was born and raised, it felt pretty natural to play him.

What’s interesting is we talk about him like he’s a real person. Having been created 10 years ago, he has a history with the fans and a place in the gaming space, character wise. So you approach it somewhat like a biopic about a person that exists in life. I tried to absorb what I believed to be important and what the gamers are going to hope for in a true translation of the game.

Of course, you also have to live in the moment with all of the varying changes in the story that we incorporated into our version. You have to respond to those as naturally and as honestly as possible, so the character will naturally be different due to the new circumstance. But Tommy’s from Austin. I’m from Austin. The character and I were simpatico throughout.

Its really just the seattle location but i think the other hot spots will end up being major stopping points in the series.

For example they replaced Pittsburgh with Kansas City which is highlighted here as a hot spot and you can kind of see the starting New England area is hot too
