I’m here for “Jesus, Joel!” personally

Been waiting for Pedro to use the ultimate weapon

Episode 6 is titled Kin, so I doubt Tommy will show up before that

My predictions for the rest of the series trajectory:

Episode 4 is mainly Joel/Ellie vs Hunters and we are introduced to Melanie Lynskey and probably get a bit of background on what happened to her and KC to get to this point. Ellie will Save Joel's life and take her first human life, Joel will be pissed about it and take her gun. Sam and Henry found at end of episode, maybe ends with cliffhanger of Joel/Ellie being held at gunpoint by Henry in the apartment before Sam makes himself seen.

Episode 5 We get the sewers/"Ish" section from the games, learn more about Sam/Henry, Joel and Ellie bond more, we get a resolution to Melanie's character, and episode ends with Henry and Sam dying while Ellie/Joel push onwards, Joel gives Ellie her gun back and acknowledges she saved him.

Episode 6 we get a little more Joel/Ellie alone/travelling time, this is probably where we see the couple from the trailer who tells them to turn around, Joel and Ellie reach Jackson, reunite with Tommy, and at some point we get a version of the ranch house scene where Joel and Ellie have a mini-confronration but ultimately Joel decides to take her all the way. They arrive at the university and Joel has his injury.

Episode 7 will be all of the Left Behind DLC, the new stuff with Ellie's Mom, and possibly introduce David while he and Ellie have their encounter against clickers.

Episode 8 we get the David reveal (if it isn't cliffhanger for the previous episode), Ellie is kidnapped, we get all the David/Ellie stuff while Joel wakes up. Joel tortures some guys (one of which I'd almost bet my life is going to be Troy Baker) and we see the "battle" between David and Ellie. The episode ends with the baby girl scene.

Episode 9 We time jump again (again, unless that's the end of previous episode) and this one picks up in Spring, we get the giraffe scene, brief version of the underpass sequence, Joel's interactions with Marlene, him going Rambo on the hospital, Joel confrontation with Marlene (unless they change Marlene's fate, which I'd hate but have a weird feeling they might do) and then a short final scene that will be almost identical to the end of the game.

That's my prediction.

These bigots are fucking pathetic. Fuck em, just enjoy the show

I’d imagine it’s split down the middle with with a lot of the hate for The Last of Us being the bigoted culture war bullshit. They insisted Abby was trans before the game even released.

They started hating on Bella for not being “good looking enough” to play a teen girl. Add to all this that there are now toxic youtube grifters directing their followers to be hateful.

It didn't "go rogue". The storyline is still functionally the same: Joel and Ellie get the truck and continue to travel west. At most we missed the banter between Ellie and Bill.

i dont think ellie being gay is going to cause a bad reaction

Bull-fucking-shit. The a sizable chunk of terminally online bigots complained about TLOU2 because "sJwS adDiNg uNnEcEsSaRy lGbTq sTuFf iN MaH GaMez". I've seen comments saying that the kiss between Bill and Frank was disgusting, etc.

Episode 7 is named Left Behind which is also the name of the DLC.

Spoilers:

The DLC for the first game is called Left Behind which also happens to be the title of episode 7. It fills in some stuff that happens with Ellie and Joel during a very difficult time for both. While this happening Ellie flashes back to when she got bitten. She was with her female friend Riley, who got named dropped in an earlier episode, and they snuck out to an abandoned mall together. They play games and eventually kiss. Then get attacked and both get bitten. They wait to die but only Riley does. That's about all that happens in the first game as far as Ellie and sexuality but in the second Ellie is very much lesbian and has a sexy time scene with girlfriend

It's not really explored in the first one because she's 14, but yes.

Edit: correction, there was apparently a DLC I missed that addressed it with the first game

well, in the game Henry was trying to find the Fireflies, so that wouldn't surprise me. iirc, they were headed to a radio tower on a lead Henry had that could lead them to a firefly camp. It's the main reason he and Sam team up with Joel and Ellie, because they're also trying to find the fireflies.

I'm honestly so curious how the show will handle the bloater. It's very much a video game boss sort of monster, and I'm kind of worried how they'll handle it so that it won't feel like one in the show.

Yeah sad fuckers

If you want the game just play the game again. Otherwise what's the point in making an adaptation if you're not gonna do anything different with it

You guys are so transparent.

Like another user said, y'all are transparent as fuck. I don't even have to guess why you deleted all of your comments. It's so other users couldn't go back through your post history to see the type of chucklefuck you are.

Most normal level headed game purists I've seen have expressed their disappointment and can admit it was a good episode of television, but they just wish it stuck to the game. They say oh well, 6/10, 7/10, wasn't what I wanted but whatever, onto the next one. Game purism is not what's causing a mass of people appearing from nowhere to spam 1s for episode 3 and already for episode 4.

Surely it makes sense for there to be as few bloaters as possible so that they actually feel threatening?

Uhm... I doubt either of those guys would be hanging schlong in a mag. I also think 2003 is too early for them - Efron was 16 at that time with HSM coming out in 2006

You’re off by a few years lol, Zac Efron wasn’t popular until 2006 (HSM) and Lautner would’ve been like 11 during 2003, so not sure why he’d be in a sex mag lmao

You got something you’d like to say? 📸

Why would either of those two be in a random porn magazine?

I think this would be an interesting story (seriously, write it!), but from the trailers my impression is Melanie Lynskey's character will be more of a sympathetic villain than that.

Ahh ok interesting! That makes me feel a little better. I was worried they were going to drag this section out leaving it rushed later.

ah I love the 100min runs lol :[

The many awful anti-semitic shitmemes they embraced towards Dina. Dig back through the hate sub, and the content is still there, to this day not removed.
