Everything with Em

A little of this, a little of that, a lot of sass

The Last of Us S1E1 Thoughts

  1. I love watching people play this game. I can’t game to save my life, but it’s so entertaining to watch. And the storyline is great. I hope the show lives up to it.
  2. Also excited to see Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey kick butt. They were so good as Oberyn and Lyanna Mormont in Game of Thrones.
  3. Oh god, time to talk about viruses.
  4. This is already hitting too close to home.
  5. The fungus is not a fun guy. Get it?
  6. Oh, I know about that fungus that infects an ant’s brain. It makes them basically a zombie.
  7. Climate change leads to the zombie apocalypse. Got it.
  8. We lose. And that’s our show. Thanks guy. I’m scared now.
  9. Not the opening being the fungi spreading. So trippy and also unnerving.
  10. Will they base more of this on the science, since they started with the fungi right away?
  11. Okie, 2003 now. This must be Sarah.
  12. Sarah is so efficient. Love her character already. She wants the pancakes.
  13. He loves you and is dependent on you. I love Tommy.
  14. Don’t make promises you can’t keep, Joel.
  15. Jakarta is where the fungi is starting to spread. What caused it to initially spread?
  16. Sarah, girl, I can’t with the watch.
  17. Oh, look. A knife. Let me run my finger along it and cut it.
  18. Oh, the neighbors are so cute.
  19. HE’S ON ATKINS
  20. HAHAHA
  21. People coughing makes me so on edge.
  22. So many clocks. So little time.
  23. There’s the proof that people are getting infected.
  24. How did that woman know?
  25. DOG
  26. PLEASE LET DOG LIVE
  27. Not the god fearing neighbor.
  28. Um, old lady is having a fit back there.
  29. Maybe run.
  30. And no one noticed.
  31. How did she get infected?
  32. DOGGY KNOWS
  33. DOGGY RUN
  34. I like that they are showing all these signs of unrest instead of it seemingly happening over one night.
  35. Daddy Joel is so cute.
  36. The same joke from the game.
  37. Don’t fall asleep. Out like a lite.
  38. Tommy’s in jail. I’m glad they gave a valid reason for Joel to leave the house while Sarah sleeps. It didn’t make sense before.
  39. SAVE DOG
  40. GOOD DOG
  41. Sarah, go back inside, please.
  42. Let Mercy be. He’s scared.
  43. No, Sarah. Get out of that house, for the love of god.
  44. Oh, there’s blood.
  45. Forget Mrs. Adler. Go after Mercy.
  46. Oh, he’s bitten and dying.
  47. Nope, nope, nope.
  48. RUN SARAH
  49. It’s so much worse since it’s Nana instead of Mr. Adler like the game.
  50. And the house on fire.
  51. Oh, Nana would go to the hospital in the city. That’s how she got infected.
  52. Just a bit of off roading.
  53. That plane is so crashing.
  54. Oh, not this part. I’m not prepared for this.
  55. Oh, there’s the plane.
  56. JESUS
  57. Oh hell no. Sir, go back to your meal and leave Joel and Sarah alone.
  58. Not the soldier. Please, let them in.
  59. He didn’t say that she broke her ankle so the officer on the other line probably thinks she’s bitten.
  60. Bring on the waterworks.
  61. Tommy to the rescue.
  62. Sort of.
  63. God, this actress is so good. I’m in pain.
  64. Sarah, no!
  65. It really shows the worst of humanity when she didn’t die from the zombies, but from the solider.
  66. Who is this kid?
  67. God, the scenery, the design. All so good.
  68. Oh my god. The chart to determine how long infection takes based on where you’re bitten.
  69. This kid is so dead. Infected and being euthanized.
  70. God, that was brutal.
  71. Jeez, Joel is on burning duty.
  72. That poor kid. Made it that far and thought she was safe.
  73. Not the guy with the Gore shirt.
  74. Wait, one of those violations was the guy leaving the quarentine zone. And he was killed for it.
  75. Bullets and pills. Sounds about right.
  76. When you’re lost in the darkness, look for the light.
  77. Oh, this must be Robert. He messed with the wrong people.
  78. Oh, hey Tess. Knock him out.
  79. This is different from before. So, Tess isn’t searching for Robert. She already found him.
  80. And this must be the fireflies.
  81. I don’t think Robert made it. Just a hunch.
  82. Oh, Tess. Don’t try and get the car battery out of there.
  83. And here’s the military. Shoot first, ask questions later.
  84. ELLIE
  85. One of the signs of the infection is slurred speech so they are testing her.
  86. I love sassy Ellie.
  87. The Fireflies are keeping her locked up because of the bite, but studying her too. Honestly, smart.
  88. The smart son. Not the other one.
  89. So, Joel is looking for Tommy.
  90. Bed on cinderblocks. Tools hidden under the floor. I love these details.
  91. NOT THE WATCH
  92. I’M GOING TO CRY
  93. So, Tess and Joel are actually together here. It was implied but never seemed to be confirmed in the game.
  94. Wait, it wasn’t Robert who died? Must have been one of his minions.
  95. Marlene isn’t taking Kim’s shit.
  96. How long has Ellie been locked in there?
  97. She said her name is Veronica.
  98. Thank god, it really is Ellie.
  99. Pour one out for Riley.
  100. That thing looks like a freaking alien.
  101. Construction corner with Joel.
  102. Nice. Fresh blood.
  103. Robert really sold a dead battery.
  104. Here comes Ellie with her knife.
  105. Kim lost an ear. She can’t hear you Marlene.
  106. The casting was spot on for Marlene. I completely believe her as the leader of that group. And her caring about Ellie.
  107. Ellie, grab your knife too.
  108. Great words of encouragement there.
  109. I love seeing the more vulnerable side of Ellie so early on. We know she’s a badass, but also still a kid.
  110. Ellie is so sneaky. Love her immediately figuring out the code.
  111. Ellie immediately being loud. Such a kid thing.
  112. Not the soldier taking a leak catching them.
  113. Oh, not the flashback already. My heart hurts.
  114. Joel, I think he’s dead. Maybe stop now.
  115. They really kept Ellie locked up for three weeks. Poor girl. Let her have that fresh air.
  116. Oh, a radio code. Crap. What decade is this song?
  117. Quick google search. 80’s. Big trouble ahead.
  118. I would like to point out that since we never saw the dog again, I can assume doggy is fine. No one can tell me otherwise.
  119. God, the acting in this is so good, and I’m so excited for the rest of the season.
