i figured the beginning of the episode was a out of time thing but thought it was the future that ellie had grown up and had a baby. the actress who played her mom...good god they looked like siblings

Episodes 3, 5 and 9 were good enough to keep me on board for next season. Those sneaky bastards.

I think it really just feels like it's so close to being great. It's just missing something, I think in the pacing.Jorge wrote:Maybe I'm too hard on this show, but I felt deflated after almost every episode despite really enjoying the two leads

Yeah pacing. The first bad omen was Ep. 1 after his daughter died. Gotta sit with that longer.

Re: HBO: The Last of Us
Make this still a very manageable 12 episodes. Split episode one into 2 episodes, dedicate one to Sam and Henry, then 2 for the cult. Which is even more obvious after how good, and well received the third episode was.

Re: HBO: The Last of Us
Apparently it took around 200 days to shoot this season. Probably a tough budget call to keep it at a trim 9 episodes.
The series could have really benefited from a slower paced episode of Joel and Ellie on the road between the Sam and Henry/Tommy episodes. That would have given the viewers a chance to see their relationship grow.
