The Last of Us (HBO)
 

Making an "official" discussion thread since it seems that enough of us are watching this thing.

Show really just giving me one more thing to be paranoid about..... zombie movies/stuff, sure they can be scary, but I know it isn't really "practical"....

But this I feel like could actually happen so makes me more nervous.....

No game spoilers in here please unless you mark specifically as a game spoiler and put it in tags....

Otherwise, discuss your thoughts and theories here....

What if

It is all just a prequel to Super Mario and what we are seeing is the birth of the Mushroom Kingdom?

If you squint hard enough, Pedro Pascal does look like Chris Pratt.

Opening scenes of both eps 1 and 2 gave me anxiety

Good show

For some reason I get him confused with Barry Pepper but I am half blind

I never played the game, but read the story. They're doing a helluva job. The entire show, if it continues on course, will make you waaaaay more uncomfortable, and that's the point.


Does a better job at looking at humanity post-apocalypse than TWD

Nick Offerman deserves an Emmy nom for this episode

:'(

Emotional episode.... different than the first two for sure.... wonder if there will be more "one off" episodes exploring the history of people/settings that Joel and Ellie encounter....

Biggest question of last night's episode though: Ellie has never been in a car, is naive to a lot of other stuff of the "larger world".... but how does she instantly know what a cassette tape is and what to do with it?!

I love Anna Torv for the record. She has a lifetime pass from me after Fringe, not that she needs it, because she is still killing it!

10 MILES WEST OF BOSTON: (crystal blue river flowing through majestic mountain valley)

I've never been on a cruise or a boat, but I know what a life jacket is and how to use it.

You comparing a life jacket with a cassette tape?
Cassettes would have already been obsolete by 2003. Pretty sure life jackets would have still been around.

cassettes were definitely not obsolete in 2003. plenty of cars on the road at the time (including mine) had a cassette player. i still buy cassettes to this day (although yes now i am very much in the minority on that one).

not that it matters. this level of nitpicking in shit is so annoying to me. get over it, nerd.

this shit is way more bothersome than the cassette thing to me but STILL WHO GIVES A FUCK. i'm not watching this show for geographic accuracy.

that being said i've been loving this show so far, especially the last episode. fleshed things out a bit while bringing a great contained love story into the mix. i was hoping for more nick offerman in the show when i found out he was on it, but this was too good for me to bothered that he won't return.

Oh I am over it. The post was made in a jest. I don't actually care.

Yeah, thought he was gonna be a "big deal" in the show, but I ain't mad at all at that beautiful end.

oh my bad should have known that by the fact you ended the post ?!

it really was one of the most beautiful love stories i've seen on a tv show, and the fact that they put all of it into one episode is crazy.

Obviously. :roll:

Would you have preferred an Interrobang?

oh yes please i love it when a question mark looks like it's getting erect :naughty:

Lol i don't care either I just laughed out loud when I saw it. I liked these games and didn't want a tv show but I've been watching out of curiosity and it's good, fine, nice storytelling, just viewing it on its own merit

i was just on one this morning and for whatever reason this thread set me off...

You just need a good Interrobang: ‽

I forgot to say I am watching for geo graphic accuracy btw

OssMan watches TV with a stack of atlases by his side.

He could still return as the show is not linear, and he would be just as Swanson as ever!

Also they added a in remembrance to Annie Wersching to the beginning of the 3rd episode, which is nice. I never played the game but I bet she was awesome in at.

Wasn’t it you who watched some Welsh guy walk right across Wales or some such thing?
You like knowing the route for sure.

He watches with one Tony Atlas by his side.
Getting stomped on by big bitches.

:rofl:

Have my days all mixed up so I thought today was Sunday, so waited until tonight to watch the latest episode... which was apparently released on Friday anyways....

Great episode this week.... emotional....

Why does every episode gotta be a punch to the feeling factory?

That's the game

Is it nearly done yet? I’m going to watch it once it’s all available.

Not seen a single episode, but read they are doing a 1:1 of the game? I dunno.


Here's the entire story, with gameplay, no annoying commentary. 6 hours
