SURPRISE! Oop.. Sorry, I know it's late, so I'll whisper. I decided to watch Season 2 of The Last of Us! I was really excited at the idea of watching a show as it freshly came out, so I decided to keep this one a little secret to see if I had time/energy to actually sneak it in. And now here we are! Watching this first episode of Season 2 felt like stepping right back into that haunting infected filled world, but yet something huge had shifted. Right away, the tone felt heavier. You just know that the storm inside of Ellie has been brewing since we left her and Joel at the end of Season 1. The characters are older, wearier, and carry way more than just their physical scars now. And the pacing felt deliberately intimate... That scene with Joel in the therapist's house!? Jeeeez. It's clear this season is going to hit hard, and I'm not really sure I'm ready for it. But I'm all in.Thank you for your support on Patreon!Relax and enjoy 🍿🌿LINK: https://youtu.be/CsZS-_CTxkgI watched this on HBO Max

The introduction to the stalkers was cool. I also liked that they kept the scene at the party/dance the same as the game. Curiously excited to see what else they change.

kaliwali

I haven't played the game yet! But after I finish this Season I might.. Although I did hear that they may only include half of the game, so if that's true I'll probably have to wait?

Dude Longcouch

Wow, I would have waited to watch it if I'd known you would get it posted this fast! Guess I'll rewatch it tomorrow ^_^

CrisP

A little sad this came before a playthrough of TLOU2 game version 😩 but I still love the show so I'm excited to watch! Although I have to get started on the 2nd season myself, first.

kaliwali

I knoooow! I am too not gonna lie. But that's how I played the first game (after watching season 1), and I fell in love with it even more than the show! Glad you're excited for this one tho ✨

kaliwali

Ahh sorry for keeping this one a secret! I just wasn't sure if I would have the time or energy to actually do it and I didn't want to box myself into a corner lol. But I was way too excited about it and decided to go for it! Glad I did because this first episode was great already! 🔥

Robin Holmes

Lovely surprise but...You need to avoid EVERY SPOILER OR OVERVIEW OR ANYTHING about the second game. Seriously.

Simon

Bah! I am travelling for work the next few days so doing my best to avoid spoilers! Looking forward to watching this when I get back.

Dude Longcouch

No apologies necessary at all, I just thought it was funny haha. Surprise uploads are awesome and always welcome! And I agree, it's a pretty good first episode. I was surprised they revealed so much about Abby already, but I think I understand narratively why they did it (it kickstarts the whole moral grey area thing early).

M1 Maz

This was a very welcome surprise and the perfect way to spend the start of my week off work! I didn't get a chance to watch this episode last night so this was my first time watch. And it was honestly a great time seeing it for the first time with you, so I'll probably keep doing it that way going forward! As someone who's played the game first, it's fun to watch this and compare and contrast what they kept the same, and what they changed up. It's always appreciated when a show takes some liberties to add their own twist to things instead of keeping it a carbon copy of the game. I'm not gonna mention any of those things here, to not spoil the game for you, since it'll be a lot of fun to watch you play the game down the road and experience those feelings the other way! I loved that in this episode we got a chance to settle down and see what society in this world can look like. And also after all the traveling of the first game/show's story, getting to see Joel and Ellie settle down, and find their roles within that world. Joel still protective, and Ellie as stubborn as ever haha. And also the weight of the decisions from the last season continuing to stick around The stalker scene.... not a good combination for you watching this show at night LOL. But you kept yourself together well. Very excited to continue watching this with you!!

TheJoeKerr

Oh I had no idea! If I comment again I’ll only refer to stuff that happened in the episodes. I don’t want to accidentally spoil anything so I might just not comment at all but you absolutely have to play part 2.

kaliwali

I knoooow! The good thing is, I pretty much do live in my own little bubble haha. Social media gives me too much anxiety. So it should be pretty easy.. But when I start posting on YouTube tomorrow I'll need to just have mods read the comments for these videos for now! 👀

kaliwali

Safe travels for work! I loved this first episode... I can't wait for Sunday now!

kaliwali

Yes I'd love to! I'm not sure when I'll get to the game.. But we'll see :) I feel like my backlog for games is so long lol

kaliwali

Yes! I'm glad you're looking forward to this one and it was a nice surprise!! I ultimately decided to jump into the show because it feels really fun to be relevant and watch a show as it releases here for once :) But also, because I looooved watching Season 1 and then playing the game after and seeing what was different and where the shows inspirations came from. I loved this first episode a LOT. I really appreciate the slow burn, those awesome facial expression zooms and quiet moments we are getting between everyone to really set the tone for what it's been like the past 5 years that we couldn't see. The town has grown soooooo much in those years. The zoom out to the crowded streets was really awesome to see. But then the lurking doom of both the Fireflies AND the cordyceps in the clay lines AND the stalkers?? I can tell already this Season is gonna be super intense and interesting. I have a feeling watching these at night is gonna be a bit spooky hahaha. My palms were soooo sweaty during the stalker scene and I just kept telling myself "it's not real, it's not real, it's just a show" to keep myself together so I'm glad that worked 🤣😭 Really looking forward to next Sunday now!!

Scott S

Great surprise! Thank you! Casting for the characters seems to be well done. Cinema photography is stunning, show is off to a great start.

kaliwali

I agree! I haven't played the game so I don't know the storyline at all. But I really like the casting for everyone. Dina seems like a great pick! Her chemistry with Ellie is super strong!

KJ

I've watched the episode but I'll check your reaction later. I'll try not to talk about the second game. It's clear they're going to tell the story on the TV show in a more linear way which does make me wonder if they're able to maintain the mystery. The cast is excellent but I'm not quite sold on Bella Ramsey. They've done a great job to lower their voice to make them sound more mature as Ellie, and the right amount of makeup to look more mature too. I can buy that Ellie is 19 in this. I'm a bit concerned Bella comes across as bratty, even though they do a great job with their eyes - you can see there's anger and hurt behind them and sense there's deep rooted pain. I'm also a bit concerned with some character dialogue choices, but I'll leave it at that.I do love how they introduced the Stalker class of infected and how much of danger this 'new' threat possesses.

kaliwali

I'm not gonna lie, I think the reason why I loved the game so much more than the show for Season 1 was because of that exact issue- Ellie seems really ungrateful and bratty. But I agree that Bella's facial expressions show soooo much emotion and I love her for that. But yeah, the dialogue is way different compared to 'Game Ellie'. I've grown to love both Ellie's in their own ways, but I do personally prefer game Ellie more. With that said, I'm suuuper excited for Season 2 now. I love Dina and think her character is great. I also really love that this one is more of a slow burn and focuses on those quieter moments to help us take in the fact that it has been 5 years later. Loving it so far!

Simon

Yes, back in Scotland again. Speaking of which... You should check out Braveheart if you havent seen it already.

Lastboyscout73

Well, I normally wait about 3 episodes so I can binge them, but I guess I will have to watch it as it airs if you're gonna do it week to week. Keeping my eyes away from any comments. It's my weekend so I will get to it tonight or tomorrow.

Giancarlo Gasparin

As someone who's played the game, Isabela Merced's portrayal of Dina is 1000% spot on. And Kaitlyn Dever looks like an absolute force as Abby. This season is gonna be WILD!

kaliwali

No worries if you want to just avoid these posts and watch all 3 like you normally do! This is in a collection here, so if you want to wait you can just click on the collection and watch it that way when you're ready! :)

kaliwali

Ahh I love hearing that! Makes me excited to play the game eventuallly. I'm kinda sad that apparently Season 2 isn't going to be the entirety of Part II of the game tho. Guess I'll be going through my game backlog until it all airs!

Giancarlo Gasparin

Reflecting on this 1st episode a bit more, the therapy scene really stood out. As the audience, we desperately want Joel to get the decision he made off his chest, because we see how much it's affecting him and his relationship with Ellie. What we fail to realize, however, is that not only would he have to deal with admitting he betrayed her trust, but he would also be admitting that his decision to prevent her sacrifice potentially could've saved the lives of everyone they're currently working so hard to save now. The weight and the implications of that knowledge getting out are fascinating.

Lastboyscout73

I agree that the show is so well done but without the cast being so good as actors, to me that's what really makes it work. Pedro Pascal can express so much with just his facial expressions. It's a good thing that you didn't watch the after the credits part if you want nothing to be spoiled for you! Oh and one last thing, this is all a surprise for me, I have never played any of the games. Never much cared for zombie games personally but I don't have a fear of them (no shade to you :) ) I used to be an avid watcher of The Walking Dead until it started to seem to just repeat itself.

Farbod

One thing to remember is that Ellie can easily be killed by infected as they can rip her to shreds or she can bleed out. The only way that they can't kill her is by being infected. She has some protection but she's never safe.

kaliwali

YES THIS! How do you tell your 'therapist' that you could have found a cure for the infection? Joel's facial expressions during that entire therapy scene.. You can see it eating him up inside. You can see just how painful it is to keep this secret that is literally the weight of the entire world.. But he can't say it. How do you? He never can. He knows he either has to tell Ellie and let her decide if what he did was right or not and possibly lose her OR keep it bottled up forever and ever and live with that for the rest of his life. Such a deep and awesome scene.

John Conti

Please play TLOU part 2 its awesome!
