Patreon for Watch Alongs and Early Access: https://www.patreon.com/diegesisTV Arianna and Maple return to the post-apocalyptic world of The Last of Us with the Season 2 premiere, "Future Days." Set five years after the events of Season 1, Joel and Ellie have settled into the community of Jackson, Wyoming, attempting to find peace amidst the chaos. However, the shadows of their past actions loom large, threatening the fragile stability they've found.​ In this episode, viewers are introduced to new characters, including Dina, Jesse, and Abby, each bringing their own complexities to the narrative. Ellie embarks on a patrol with Dina, leading to a tense encounter with a new, more evolved type of infected known as a "stalker." This confrontation not only tests Ellie's survival skills but also hints at the evolving threats in this world.​ Meanwhile, Joel grapples with the weight of his past decisions, particularly the lie he told Ellie about the Fireflies. Their relationship is strained, and the episode delves deep into their emotional turmoil, setting the stage for the challenges ahead.​ Arianna and Maple react to the intricate character developments, the introduction of new threats, and the emotional depth that "Future Days" brings to the series.

TLoU Season 2 is going to be very depressing guys. So maybe find a happier show to watch afterwards. I recall the second game being very depressing. I think the show does a good job making you feel what Ellie feels... at least in this episode. Ellie essentially has to navigate the world without Joel.

Elle didn't know what she was signing up for which is the main issue. If the fireflies had sat them both down and told them the only way to get the cure is by killing her then maybe they would have had the appropriate information to then make an informed decision. But they didn't do that, they put her under with no explanation and forced the decision upon Joel. He did what any parent would do, which is safeguard their child at any cost. He shouldn't have lied about it, but theres NO parent that wouldn't do everything they could to keep their kid alive. And if there are, they shouldn't be a parent
