Apparently you didn’t watch the show or you would know that Joel wasn’t bitten by a “zombie” - he was stabbed by one of the Hunters at the university with a baseball bat sharpened into a shiv.

I was today years old when I learned that Goldie Hawn had won an Oscar.

That no-talent ass clown???

Please, tell us how you really feel.

“*Do we KNOW that’s his mother? I sort of thought it might have been his wife.”

I also thought the initial shot of the bus driver was supposed to mean something. Like he was following Holly for the Outsider.

This ghost-mom attack is not in the book.  The Outsider never appears as Jack’s mom at all, and it never physically attacks Jack.  Jack thinks it has given him skin cancer - the mark on his neck - because that is what killed his mother.  It promises Jack that it will take the cancer away if he helps him.  It never…

The ghost-mom beating up Jack isn’t in the book.  The Outsider has marked Jack with the sores on the back of his neck (which references the skin cancer that killed his mother - it is not a mark that the Outsider gives to all of its helpers) and torments him by speaking to him in his head, and then appearing and…

Blood splatter is weird. Sometimes it splashes in every direction, other times it only goes in one direction.

The show was originally 8 episodes - the original premiere ended with Joel burning the child’s body in Boston, but HBO said “We need to introduced Ellie in the premiere” so they combined episodes 1 & 2 into one episode.

There are no “child brides” in David’s group. He is the leader and a preacher but there is nothing shown that says this entire group has child brides. From what we see they are a group of families working together to survive.

Other times I mentioned this were replies to other comment threads.  This is a new comment thread.  So yes, I did.

In the game, when David is hunting Ellie in the restaurant, if you take long enough before stabbing David, he will tell you “Sorry about your horse, but don’t worry, we won’t let it go to waste.”

To be fair, the “pedo thing” isn’t introduced (in the game and the show) until the conversation when Ellie is in the cage.

Agreed. I love that in the game Joel is on a mission to save Ellie, and while he does kill a lot of Hunters, Ellie has also killed a bunch of Hunters and David. She’s already won by the time he shows up.

That line happens when you’re in the first building after you kill James and escape David (I think that’s a pet store?). You hear David and some other Hunters outside talking. But if you rush through this building and go outside then this dialogue does not happen.

No idea what “sing along with the great one” means, but saying “This show is trash” and then offering nothing else to back up that claim is worthy of mocking.

True, but in this scene they are alone in a separate room/area with no one around.

I haven’t played the second game yet but the first game never says one way or the other whether Ellie can infect someone by biting them.

We don’t know - the show (and game) never clarifies that. But she knows she can use that fear of her biting someone can infect someone else to give her an opportunity to escape.
