The Last of Us on HBO

[Vigoran]

If it stays true to the game, the end of this season will have audiences losing their minds.

Really good start and looking forward to more. Haven't played the game so I guess I'm objective. Cast seems solid so far. I'm getting a real, McGammon (?) "Song of Sussanah" hit so far anyone else? Not that it is a bad thing, Good book, good show so far.

Yeah, Kaitlyn really could have portrayed Ellie as a character very well too. I liked Sadie in The Whale, but that's the only thing I've seen her in.

You've never watched Stranger Things?

No. I avoided all that 80s nostalgia stuff. Barely heard anything about it after the first season so I assumed it went off a cliff.

That's surprising. The last season kind of exploded and jolted 2 songs from the 80s back onto the music charts again.

You should check it out. It's really good.

Episode 2 was awesome. That encounter in the museum was almost ripped straight from the game.

According to some advanced reviews, episode 3 might be the best ep of the whole season. Stoked!

Haven't watched ST since season one. But every time i'd turn on the radio, that damned Running Up The Hill song was on. Hated that song in the 80's and hate it even more now.

I don't remember ever hearing it in the 80's. It was ok the few times they played it in the show but the radio stations certainly beat it to death.

Nope! I could argue the last two seasons have been the best.

Pass... the first season was the best. I felt it got progressively worse and boring/repetitive.

[Merlin1958]

I'm enjoying it so far. Ep 2 was intense!! Looks like tis show will take us right into S2 of "Yellowjackets" as well!! Good stuff ahead for the show and us as viewers!!!

Do it! TLoU universe is one of my favorite all time stories. It also hits different when you're experiencing it in an interactive fashion. Plus, you'll appreciate the callouts/easter eggs on the show.

Really? You thought season 3 was boring? You're the first person I've heard say that.

Last night's episode #3 was beautiful and heartbreaking. Sad but predictable comments online about that episode.

[ICry4Oy]

I'm not a strong believer in the "they should look exactly like the character" thing.

Me either but it's always a nice touch, and an appreciated one.

Pedro doesn't look much like Joel and nobody says anything.

Idk about that

They're not even the same race.

I read it has already been picked up for a second season.

[fernandito]

Last night's episode was heartbreaking. Nick Offerman was perfectly cast as Bill.

The piano scene was a litttttle hokey... "It's not a girl" *single tear* "I know" *kiss*

But otherwise the episode was phenomenal. As a game lover though, I really wish...

video game spoiler

that they had kept Bill around for the gym part. Woulda been awesome to see the 3 of them kicking ass together.

So far, the show is everything I hoped for!

[Brian861]

As far as your spoiler, I have yet to watch the show, it was a super intense moment.

[Still Servant]

One of the greatest episodes of TV I have ever seen. Bravo.

[Iwritecode]

DirectTV had a free weekend preview of HBO and Cinemax so I was able to record the first 4 episodes. Watched the first 2 last night. So far I actually like the Ellie character more than I thought I would.

The scene where she asked if she could have a gun and they said no and then she mumbled something about just throwing her sandwich cracked me up.

[fernandito]

Last night's episode was... ok. Just ok.

Felt like it's setting the stage for what's sure to be a much bigger episode 5.

IT was good... but yeah it was the weakest. My buddy and and I just bought the remastered game for Sony 5. Each got a 24 of beers... and our weekends mission? TO BEAT THE GAME

Dude you are going to have a blast! I think playing it will give you a deeper appreciation for both the game and the show. You might be able to pull it off in one weekend... it's like a 10+ hour game though, depending what difficulty you set it at.


And gd 24 beers each??

That sounds like Heaven.

[fernandito]

don't forget the new episode this week will be released Friday night as opposed to Sunday.

HBO wisely doesn't wanna compete with the Super Bowl

[St. Troy]

Just watched episodes 3 and 4.

Episode 3 felt like a giant domestic digression, but of course it was not truly a full digression, as many bits related directly to the breakdown of society, and it did a decent job fitting 20 years of humanity into a little over an hour.

Episode 4 did one thing I absolutely would have done if I wrote/directed TV shows:

Spoiler:

Ellie: "I'm not even tired."
(moments later): Ellie: slumped over, mouth open, sleeping.

I'm not wild about this show (the book of puns was pretty much my favorite bit, and that can't be what they wanted), but I'm still watching.
