HBO's The Last of Us

Without going into spoilers, I am very curious to see where the cut-off point is for the show. Splitting the game down the middle wouldn't make for good TV formatting for season 3.

Here's what i think:

I think season 3 will be Abby's section of the game, and season 2 will probably end when Abby shows up at the theater

I always personally preferred that they built Abby’s character up BEFORE you know what happens.

But idk. Hoping the show does it well nonetheless.

Given the events that transpired in episode 2, idk if a show audience could handle that shift lol

This was never going to be easy to adapt.

Split the seasons just like the game? That's one option I suppose, but now Ellie's going to be sitting out a large part of Season 3 and non-gamers might get restless wanting to know what happens after Jesse dies.

Do both storylines concurrently and split each one halfway through? Possible, but then you're left with an incomplete and unsatisfying narrative for over a year until the next season drops.

Okay… this third episode had…

Choices…

A number I don’t really agree with…

 

[saint.piss]

I personally loved the episode. Tied for me with last week's episode so far. Very beautiful stuff.

Spoiler: Episode 5 Spoilers

The set design for the basement alongside how they showed off the spores is absolutely brilliant. It was the biggest thing missing from S1 and they did it perfectly here.

Nora’s death is also better here. The actress does great with the limited time she is given; in making you truly hate her and wish her that whacking of the lead pipe. Can’t wait to see what she does in Intergalactic.

 

[Legacy]

Yeah… I’m struggling with this season… the Kotaku review absolutely nailed my struggles with the way this season is getting written.

I swear…

I’m starting to get the sinking feeling Mazin and Drunkmann are starting to set a change for the show’s ending where Dina doesn’t flee with JJ after Ellie runs off the California. So much of this season is writing a “happier” version of Ellie that isn’t interested in the violent trauma she carries and now we have a whole episode of basically… “we can be better than our parents.”

 

[chris.g]

Yeah, I have a huge nasty feeling Druckmann is caving to the mobs of TLOU p.II haters this season. So many changes that are off beat and emotional notes that hit no where close to the way the game did. I’m really getting nervous about where this is going for the sake of pleasing a vocal minority.

So I put off watching this season for a bit, not necessarily purposefully, just bc life. I’m two episodes in and love it so far, but I’m really interested how these last 5 episodes go considering how divisive this season is, especially among fans who like the game.

I didn't hate it like many others did, but there are definitely things I did not like.
