was expecting Tommy to die, not Joel.
I was expecting Tommy's wife to save him
A minor criticism was it should have been Tommy with Joel instead of Dina. She was kind of worthless this episode. In the game, Tommy watches Joel get killed. They also beat up on Tommy. Putting Dina to sleep was meh

isn't it because one of the workers cut open that pipe full of the fungus?
That’s what I assume. But the pipe was already cut with live cordyceps moving around last episode.
But still. How does that explain the ones halfway up the mountain?

Now everyone can see why everyone was so mad playing game 2 at the beginning. Then the game only got worse.

Well I give the show this that scene was much better done on TV than the game. Only goes downhill from here though sadly. Adios Last of Us we hardly knew ye

Hopefully Joel dying makes Ellie less annoying. Her character has been horrible this season. Like almost close to stop watching horrible.

Loved the episode. Worried about no longer having him lead the series, but I enjoyed the games and hope it plays well on screen

I agree. Now it's her carrying this show moving forward. She better change for the better

Well that escalated quickly.
There ALOT to unpack in this episode but safe to assume Ellie and Abby won’t be best friends going forward

I want Ellie and Abby to die a horrible death in this show now.

Yeah. In Season 1 the interconnected Cordyceps replaced spores from the game is my understanding. Actual IRL mushroom networks (mycelium) do similar, they “communicate” where the nutrients are. In the show the humans are the nutrients.

I was thinking the same thing.

I have never played the game and the reason I was watching was because of Joel. Abby or Ellie carrying the show is not promising at this point.
I am vested or as they say pot committed so I guess I will see through to the river but feel like I am just chasing a gut shot straight at this point. Hope I am wrong.

Let her know the best joel/ellie scenes are gonna be coming in the next few episodes. The flashbacks between the time skip will be incredible

I'm loving Kaitlyn Dever as Abby. So much more tolerable than the game version.

What really sucks is this chick auditioned for the role of Ellie and didn't get it even though she's a better actress. Cailee Spaeny.

Can’t believe they killed Joel off so quickly. I mean I knew it was coming but figured they’d leave it for the season 2 finale and drag this out. Nope. This series definitely has an end date planned already.
A lot of people who are watching this show who never played the games are probably having a time right now

Just read this thread

This does have me wanting to replay the game

Lost me as a viewer. If you're going to make the most likeable rootable character die in your series, even if that's what the video game does, then you don't deserve my view. This will hurt them financially because it will cause massive viewership drop. Which they deserve. Max and Last of Us director will learn this financial lesson the hard way.
If viewers were at 7 million or whatever, next week it'll be 3.5 million.
