Guys this is becoming more and more interesting. it's only 2 episodes in but it's already my fav show of the year lol....
This second episode was perfect. We started with a bit of flashback from where everything started. Even tho maybe we will see the real point where it began cause this is basicaly how it started spreading. I wanna know who gave the first bite.
Now... this episode showed how much of the show will go... like... these characters on a jurney trying to avoid being killed. I guess we will see some episodes where the only 2 characters will be Joel and Ellie and then we will see them meeting some people (i dont know how much of the first game they are covering with this season)....
I loved how they expleaned some of the things happening here in a different way than in the game. Like... in the games there were spores and that is why the infection was so fast. In this one they didnt talk about spores... they talked about this fungius florishing in this grain factory enviroment and even if they didnt say that... it is really probable that those kind of products helped the infection spreading. If you noticed... in the first episode... they make a point in telling us that they didnt have any flour products at the moment in the house... he forgot to buy the cake when he came back from work... i think they were hint to tell us how it spreaded so fast.
Also... it was kinda heartbreaking to see the beginning with the lady understanding what was happening and telling the military to bomb the city and kill everyone... including her... she just asked to go back and be with her family when it happened.
I also liked how this military people for once were honestly scared and really hoped she could help them.
the the whole episode happened. We will see this relationship between Ellie and Joel grow as we go on. Here we saw him not relly wanting to talk about himself but at the same time he was trying to start a conversation.
Then everything happened and i was kinda heartbroken. All it was needed was her to gasp a little bit and shit happened... but can you blame her? Facing something like that that basically felt her for he breathing heavily?? And she must have felt horribly when they found out about Tess... cause this is kinda happening because of her but she IS THAT IMPORTAN.
And finally... I LOVE how they made these creatures even more scary here... cause the whole thing about the fungus making connections and calling other infected through filaments... that is all the show... nothing like that happened in the game but this makes everything even more terrifiyng cause... i mean.... you step on a piece of mushroom and that shit could send a signal a mile away and send you infected... WOW...
Just LOVING THIS WITH ALL OF MY HEART.
