The infected are not “zombies.” They are not dead like The Walking Dead. The fungus takes over and infects the living person and takes control. Once the body is dead the control has ended.

Chris Thompson

Did the show get new writers or something? Because this episode felt like it was written by the lucky winner of the Max-promoted ClikClok TikTok competition. Everything just felt like a too-broad, simplified version of what we’d seen written, acted and produced with so much skill, atmosphere and nuance the previous season. The “Bad Guys” are introduced with no finesse or presence, just wooden, bland delivery - “I. Will. Get. My. Revenge. And. Kill. Joel … Slowly” 🙄 Each scene just plods onto the next, utterly not helped by Ellie being amped up to eleven, no longer with the excuse of being a young teenager, if anything acting dumber than she ever did back then as if she really hasn’t learnt anything from living out in this world for the past SIX years. Nothing involving her has any weight. She’s pretty much reduced to caricature. The episode would have benefited from a more solid focus on her and Joel and where they stand with one another rather than rushing into a vapid, CW-level romantic relationship with a character we don’t even know. Joel did have a nice scene with Dina though, and it felt infinitely more genuine than anything involving her and Ellie. He also had the makings of another good scene with Home Alone Mom-turned-End of the World Shrink, but once again, the writers prove amateur AF as they barely give the two of them room to breathe before speeding right into the revelation that he killed her husband. This whole episode was just so insincere, tedious and flaccid and seeing the Least Threatening Bad Guys since Draco Malfoy and his Inbred Slytherin Posse emerge from the woods as the last minute stinger just felt like a fitting, eye-rolling way for it all to end.

I'm guessing you have not played the game? This episode was very much just a setup for whats to come. The second game is so much larger than the first and takes some time before it gets going. But you also gotta understand under those 5 years a lot probably happened that we don't know about. Trust me when I say this show will not dumb down any character and there is a reason for all of it. Also you really shouldn't be scared of Abby and her friends. They are kids who are mourning. They are not supervillains. The second game is not for everyone but give it more of a shot than just the first episode. Trust me if they stick to the games story it will be phenomenal and you don't want to miss it. :D

you saying "ClikClok TikTok" tells me everything i need to know about you, you are too old to be acting like this.......

Chris Thompson

All it tells you is that I thought this episode was a childish piece of shit and by extension that I don’t feel like it deserves to be treated with the same amount of respect and reverence that your equally childish gatekeeping ass treats it with.

Christopher Somers

We’re trying to keep this community positive dude. Go back to YouTube.

Zane Platt

Can you just leave, no one wants you here. No one finds you interesting or intelligent. You're essentially just stale sweat wafting through the internet.

Chris Thompson

Because I have a negative opinion about a show that you like? And you don’t want to hear it because you enjoy the air of your own little echo chamber, which must be, let’s face it, pretty damn stale itself. Anyway you don’t have to respond to anything I say; I’m not talking to you or expecting a response and you sure aren’t in charge of this forum, which as it happens I also pay to be on, so you can stop with your “polite” demands and simply go back to enjoying the videos.

As a game player I liked how they set up the season. So many gamers had complaints about how the game was structured (I personally liked it), but them structuring it like this makes me realize what they’re gonna do and I’m looking forward to seeing non-gamers reactions.

Jonathan Blaze

Very strong first episode! Love the addition of the Dina and Abby characters.

MJ Eid

Sniff sniff smells like hateorade.

Jorgalorg

I look forward to seeing Maple's eyes glaze over with laser-focused lust every time Tommy drags his fine ass onscreen

Nathan Steele

Are you implying that because you pay money you don't have to be polite?

Chris Thompson

My “impoliteness” was aimed solely at the TV show until other people started giving me shit solely because I didn’t enjoy one solitary episode of a TV SHOW. Am I supposed to be polite to them?

Christophe

Okay I can't believe we're still talking about this since we're in the second season now and I thought we were done with it but Maple brought it up again and so now I have to do get back on my fucking soapbox because there's no fucking scientific literacy in the world xD I fucking hate that because we got that sciencey sounding mumbo-jumbo cold open in the pilot, people still think "oohh right, so this fungal pandemic would be totally possible". No! That doesn't make any fucking sense. What do you mean, because the temperature of the earth rises, suddenly "cordyceps has a reason to evolve to withstand higher temperatures" and so it could not only survive in humans, but control them in the same or similar way it does ants? What? First of all, no. The average temperature of the earth hasn't risen to 98.6°F, has it? Why, if the fungus wasn't able to withstand temperatures above 94°F before, why would global warming change that? Ants are ectothermic, so if the average earth temperature hasn't risen to 98.6, the ant's bodies won't either. And also, in general, organisms that are very dependent on the current temperature of the earth (or what it was pre-industrial levels) and couldn't survive even slightly higher temperatures, well, they don't. That rise was too quick and too sudden for organisms to just evolve an adaptation. That's not how evolution works. Secondly, and more importantly, even if you buy this weird temperature mutation thing, the nervous system of an ant is not even remotely comparable to that of mammals. Fucking obviously. Just because you can control and manipulate the comparatively simple nervous system of an ant, doesn't mean that, because of an unrelated mutation related to temperature, you can suddenly control humans. I honestly wish they had just left that scene out. The show's central premise doesn't need to make sense. It's not a science-fiction show, it's a zombie show. It's fine. It's a fungal pandemic, whatever, but don't gaslight people into thinking it makes sense or has a reasonable scientific basis. Just have fun with your zombie show. That's it, rant done, thank you for coming to my TED talk.

I think one of the best things about the Last of Us franchise is how they use the infected. You put it great towards the end, living in the mountains you're used to dangerous animals being a potential risk, so you take precautions. After a quarter of a century, these infected are just another thing in life to worry about. Food, shelter, predators, we have to consider these things every day, regardless of if you're in an apocalypse or not. Ellie and Dina aren't scared because these things are dumber than animals (except for that one) and easy to deal with if you know what you're doing. I love that they stay focused on the human aspect of it all. I strongly disagree that people would put aside petty, smaller things because there are bigger problems. I feel like we all got a little taste of that during the pandemic. Also, I feel like the last scene from last season/first scene from this one very strongly implies that she knows. She wouldn't ask that question if she wasn't questioning what Joel told her. And that extremely long pause before saying ok, seems like a reasonable response to figuring out the only person in the world who cares about you has irrevocably broken your trust.

Christophe

I think the homophobia makes a lot of sense, especially in this world. Because just think about the state of the world in 2003 when this outbreak happened. It wasn't exactly a good time for gay people in the US. And because all of this happened, I can't imagine there has been much activism, or exposure to same-sex couples that might have evolved the views of people like this. So I get thinking "aren't there more important things to worry about in this world" but also, you know, that has always been true ^^'

Zane Platt

People don't have an issue with you criticising, they have an issue with the pathetic, attention obsessed manner in which you do it. You literally just come across like someone that none of us here would EVER want to spend any time with and I just don't get why people like you exist. Go watch something you like. Go write and create yourself. You don't come across enlightened or intelligent at all. You just seem like a massive asshole.

Chris Thompson

You’re the one blowing this out of proportion in the typical excessively nasty, entitled, delusional way you sad little social media-entrenched snails like to do, just throwing attack words and phrases out there no matter how psychotic you sound. Trying to browbeat your prey, in an attempt to play superior Boss man even though you’re just some little gimp bashing away at your tablet/phone.

Alexis

I always appreciate Bear Facts with Maple

Athasin

This is a very valid point.

Jaylennn

its not because of the opinion its because you're being fucking rude LMFAOOO

Jaylennn

also im just rereading your comment and im quite concerned with the fact that you think draco malfoy is the villain of harry potter.........

Patrick

i'm catching up very slowly(and i still haven't started the latest game), but, I fucking hate how nonchalent everyone is in this first episode. Everyone deserves to get munched on. I currently don't care who gets eaten.

Dylan

The angry white man shaking his head at the lesbian girl bosses, really sums up modern entertainment. so tiresome.
