So this is how people who read a book feel when the movie comes out. I finally get it.
Just watched the BTS making of special. One thing they really seemed to focus on in this was just how AMAZING the set design was. Yes they did use a LOT of VFX in this show, but they also did everything practical wherever they possibly could, which all the actors say goes a LONG way to helping them not really have to "act" as much, because they really reacting to everything around them. And that kinda stuff DOES go a long way in a show like this.
I remember my buddy in KC said they shut down the highways for about an hour there for taping one day.
I enjoyed the finale. Didn't really feel rushed to me. Could they have condensed some episodes and extended others? For sure. But overall I feel the season flowed well enough.
Maybe season 2 will dive more deep into the infected? I mean we saw the huge hoard and then nothing.

I didn’t play the game so my opinion is based on just watching the show.
It’s in the title, “us”. It’s all about relationships after the apocalypse, not so much about the zombies. Look at all the relationships: father/daughter, brother/brother, man/man, girl/girl, hetero/ hetero. This is how “us” survive and love after a zombie apocalypse.

I played both games and watched the show. There was a bit of "agenda" that felt a bit forced in the show but aside from that it was good.
Spoiler alert: the second game sucks... the game had an "agenda" as well that felt forced unlike the first game. They even shove the transgender stuff into it. I think making game 2 into a show is going to be trash and I think the first season of the show should have been spread among 2 seasons rather than crammed into 1 season. At this rate we will only get 2 seasons unless they make as last of us 3 as they are doing 1 game per season.

It's been said a bunch of times in this thread that it'll wrap up with season 2, but do you guys really believe that? In terms of proprietary & popular new shows, HBO max doesn't seem to have much. It honestly wouldn't surprise me if they tried to build this out in to some halfassed "universe" because that's what happens nowadays.

I could see it. We all got to see how well that worked for Game of Thrones when they went off script in the final season as the books weren't finished... They will ruin this show too I'm sure.It's been said a bunch of times in this thread that it'll wrap up with season 2, but do you guys really believe that?

'The Last of Us Part II' Will Be Adapted Across Multiple Seasons
The showrunners reveal season 2 of the HBO series will not span the entire course of the second game.
Really interesting read.
Hopefully they don't make the same mistake as The Walking Dead and drag it on for too long just because it's popular.
Okay, if you had told me the giraffe scene had a real giraffe, I wouldn't believe you.
But it turns out the giraffe was real and the dilapidated building structure was CGI.

Okay, so I skimmed the thread because... 21 pages. So apologies if this was commented on.
Last episode, Marlene talks about the Doctors theory on Ellie's immunity -- "Cordyceps think she's a Cordycep, so they leave her alone."
That doctor is a terrible scientist. All they had to do was say "Ellie, did any Cordyceps ever attack you?" and she would say "Yup." and rattle off instances -- like the gymnastic clicker that tried to get her in the car.
I haven't played the game, so I'm not in a position to be on about them changing the lore, but when the lore in your show isn't consistent, it bugs me. So either the writers screwed up, showing Cordyceps attacking Ellie, or the doctor was the worst scientist/doctor ever. Especially in a situation like this. You'd think they'd do a few DOZEN tests to try to figure things out. I doubt Joel was unconscious that long.

Which if they had the airborne aspect of the virus in the show then this would still be justifiable but if all this cure is doing is making me not turn into one yet they’re still trying to consume me….who cares
