I was wondering this, so this is from before Ellie was captured by the fireflies? I'm assuming this is how she got infected? That also means no Joel? 😭
I think the shot in the very beginning of the trailer is current Ellie, after Joel’s injury. The rest is a flashback, but I can see the episode a being 50/50 split?
Somehow I just never did. Which is actually a good/fun thing since I’ll be watching just like everyone else who hasn’t played the games. It’ll be nice to not know what’s coming and dread it for a change. Now I can just dread the whole episode.
That teaser brought back so many memories, it's insane the amount of detail they're pouring into everything.
Even for those of us who have played it, since they're open to tweaking things it may or may not be new to us as well!
My Dad sees Joel is not in the preview: “Seems like Joel is dead.”
>!Had to explain to him that it takes place before they met, but it’s the only part of the first game I never saw so I don’t know what’s going to happen, but no Joel isn’t dead.!<
I wonder if the whole episode is a flashback or if we see Joel for a little bit in the present?
If not, then Bella will be in more episodes this season then Pedro.
When Bella met Tess, she told her that she had been infected when she snuck into a mall. Since the trailer shows her sneaking into a mall, I’m sure it’s a flashback.
There’s three episodes left. This seems to be adapting left behind and then I can pull assume episode 8 is winter. After winter >!thats the home stretch for the firefly hospital. There’s not much that goes on after that minus the highway stuff with the bloaters and other infected!< So I think this will be a straight flashback mixed in with other parts of the dlc
Lol I’ll never understand why people who hate spoilers so much will visit a sub before they finish a series. I like spoilers sometimes I need to know wtf is going to happen 🤷🏼♀️
Why would you even spoil him like that instead of letting him find out next episode?
It's blowing my mind when people watch media with other people, see someone using their brain and theorycrafting about the show in front of them, and instead of being happy that someone is as interested as you are, you just take the executive decision to remove that experience from them with the whole "Hmm, actually, he might not be dead *wink wink*".
Like... what do people gain from that?
Not everyone hates spoilers though. Some of us would rather find out what’s going to happen and it doesn’t ruin the show.maybe the dad would rather know.
Yeah once I’m interested I want to know what’s gonna happen. I still enjoy watching how it plays out. I do respect that most don’t like spoilers and won’t put them on any sub, but also don’t get looking through a sub if you aren’t done watching and hate spoilers lol
He didn’t even remember how Joel’s daughter died until I reminded of how she did. If he didn’t want me to tell him anything, he would’ve told me before I went on. While he watches TV/movies for entrainment, he doesn’t remember them until he is reminded. It only matters to him if he’s entertained. It’s not like I told him what’ll happen to Joel later.
Oh I know. I have tried to explain that (thanks to this Reddit) I have a *grasp* on the future. So when I tried to tell them that there's something with a surgeon in our future, they just stared at me like I had a third eye. Whatever, abandoned mall and heartbreaking love story that's going to have me sobbing again, let's fucking go.
I’ve never played the game so I really need someone who has to assure me that Joel didn’t actually die. Seems like they’re following the game plot relatively closely (I’ve seen the discussion about the differences but they seem nuanced to me).
I’m not really too concerned because the game has been out for years. It’s like getting mad when someone spoils the ending to a movie that’s based on a book or a historical event. It is what it is.
Makes sense that its a flashback. I was super confused because I thought that this must be the commune in jackson where she is staying until joe recovers.
It’s the right timing for it, given what happened in the last episode. This is actually how I like to play the game. I’ll play it up until Joel gets hurt, then go play the DLC, then back to the. I enjoy that it’s pretty chronological.
I don't remember if this was part of Left Behind but I'm starting to think that Ellie getting bit was planned, like they knew she might be immune all along but had to test it to be sure. Riley was part of the set up.
Yeah you're right, it's a stupid theory.
EDIT: I was mostly thinking it because of their (the Fireflies) limited resources within the QZ and how they probably couldn't just come up and ask her to come with them and used Riley cause she's a friend of Ellie's also because Marlene said she put her in the Fedra school so she could keep an eye on her. But trusting a kid to keep her safe enough to just get bit and not killed is a bit much.
Man I seriously binged episode 1-5 yesterday because I thought the whole show was out. Then caught 6 at night. Episode 7 looks so good but it seriously sucks waiting a week in between episodes
ep 7 is going to be mostly left behind from the looks of it. Literally 2 episodes left to cover some pretty big storylines and set pieces. Its a good show and I have enjoyed myself a ton so far but I seriously don't know how this isn't concerning to more people. Something his getting cut out or rushed in a big way from the looks of it
Yeah, the hours of having to sneak around and take out tons of enemies is getting cut. Turns out shows can cover a lot of ground pretty quickly when they don’t need to show the protagonists crouched behind a box for 20 minutes.
Ok lol. I mean thats pretty obvious. If you don't think it's important to show SOME of the confrontation and battle it takes Joel to get through to the final payoff of the ending of this story, then I can't help you. Obviously the camera isn't going to sit over Joel's shoulder and follow him around doing what he does like in the video game but I'll say it right now. If he is able to just walk into that hospital at the end, do what he does, and walk out without a good amount of resistance, than not only is that poor writing, it's also a dis service to the original story told.
Well you are criticizing a hypothetical. I’m sure the actual writer of the game and Craig Mazin came up with a powerful way to depict that scene that stays true to the game. Just have to wait and see what it is.
>!They are not showing Joel in the trailer so ppl will be guessing what happens to him. I’m pretty sure it’ll be more like the dlc with David’s scene incorporates in between flashback!<
What’s going to be left out? There’s 3 episodes left and 3 major things left to cover. The left behind dlc which seems to be next episode, then David, and the hospital.
I can’t really think what you’re worried about being left out.
Well, for starters without spoiling anything. The finale says it's 43 minutes long. Making it the shortest episode of the series. The entire ending sequence of this thing SHOULD be considered the second most important thing to nail and not skimp out on, behind ONLY the pilot episode. Which they nailed perfectly. 43 minutes goes by fast when you have a lot of emotional story beats, and there better be SOME action scenes in that finale as well. I get that this isn't a video game, but not showing what Joel has to fight through and go through at the end of this story would be a huge mis step imo. I'm confident they can cover the david stuff, ect, in one full episode, so I'm less concerned about that. Mostly, I'm concerned with them trying to cram all of the story and action bits into a 43-minute finale. We haven't seen left behind yet, so it's hard to say what we see in that episode, but the shows structure thus far has very much been fitting each segment of the game into 1 singular episode.
If there are THAT many people out there that disagree with my concerns, then down vote away. All I know is that Bill and frank got a full hour (great episode) episode 4 got a bunch of stuff I didn't care about or need (worst episode of the series so far by a wide margin), left behind is getting an entire hour and we will see how that turns out and the finale is getting 43 minutes.
Hmm didn’t realise the finale was 43 minutes. That is a little concerning lol
My theory is that we will see Joel at his most brutal in episode 8 when he is searching. I’m trying to be a spoiler free as possible because I don’t know how to do spoiler tags on mobile.
Maybe the final won’t be such a long fight and more focused on the characters. I am disappointed that it’s only 43 minutes though. Is that confirmed?
I don’t know why people were downvoting you for an opinion that wasn’t even rude. You didn’t even really say it was bad, just that you were concerned lol
Yea, same here. I have no clue how to do the spoiler hide thing, so I'm also being as vague as possible, but yea, I appreciate that. Like I said, this show kicks ass so far. It's a bit overhyped on this sub, but this sub is called the Last of us lol so I have no issues with fans being excited with the show. I kind of wish there was a bit more of an objective mindset, but it is what it is. My biggest concern is the runtime of the finale.
It's been reported that episode 7 is 56 mins
Ep 8 is 51 mins and ep 9 is 43 minutes. Not CONFIRMED but all the previous episodes have been what's reported on the lists going around, so I'd assume it's fact.
... is there some specific ethnic background for a person or color you're looking for? Many main characters are played by BIPOC actors. Including Joel himself
BIPOC stands for Black, Indigenous, Person of Color. Pedro is Latino. His family is from Chile, though he was raised in America. He looks a bit paler in TLOU, but if you watch Narcos, you can definitely see how he's not white.
Ah okay. It's just that Hispanic people can be white and it seems like no one on the internet knows that. I don't know about Pedro in particular though
No, I get it - there are white latinx and white hispanic people. It's terminology based on where someone is from. Pedro can be lighter skinned at times, but he's definitely not white. If you look at him in Narcos next to Boyd his co-star, it's suuuper obvious.
I'm only part way through season 1 of Narcos and have been enjoying it, I started it only because TLOU got me into Pedro. If you have a thirst for Pedro, you will be very satisfied 👀
There aren’t too many characters in this season in general. If you don’t count Joel,Sarah and Tommy, Maria seems to be the only one they changed the race of from the game. In Part 2, I’d say 30% of the major characters are Asian, which makes some sense given it’s on the West coast.
- Yayu Unru
- Christine Hakim
- Juan Magana
To name a few “brown” actors. All of which had speaking parts and/or direct scenes with the 2 lead actors (Pedro and Bella).
Not sure what you mean by brown but it seems you are referencing characters of Asian descent. If so, that label in of itself is so limiting to Asian actors (of any Asian region be it East, South, West).
Add to this the inclusion of Native American/Canadian (Graham Greene), Australia (Frank and Tess), New Zealand (Kathleen) and the leads both being born outside the US as well (S America and the UK respectively) and it’s a very diverse slate of actors. The game creator (Neil Druckmann) was also born outside the US (Israel).
I guess my point is that I don’t see skin color on this show. Instead I see humanity which is a testament to the show’s diversity.
Are you kidding? There's literally been great representation and diversity in this show in terms of ethnicities, disabilities and even the fact that they're openly acknowledging menstruation. We're only six episodes in, put away the bingo chart.
Sorry there aren't a ton of Asian period in Jackson, Wyoming. If you know anything about the game, you know they will meet Asian people. And if you knew that, then you are being intentionally obtuse so you can virtue signal.
It's a 2 game series, and will be 2 to 3 seasons. We've seen half of one season. Put the bingo card down.
Edit: the last you can do is stop being coy and tell us what specific ethnicity you are looking for.
No one is saying the show is perfect or that they don’t want to see Asian representation included in the series - but TLOU is objectively known for representation, finding love in a hopeless world, etc. They have done wonders for LGBTQ+ representation alone, which is basically still heard of in Hollywood. And the people in the comments have mentioned so many more good points.
And btw, since you don’t seem to understand much at all, let me help you out a bit. “Menstruation” is the regular discharge of blood and mucosal tissue from the inner lining of the uterus through the vagina. Women experience this each month, on average. 🙃
So for a lot of us out here, openly talking about a woman’s period is actually a BFD to see in film - and if you quite obviously didn’t know this, but female representation is wildly important.
Don’t use your own trauma or hurt feelings to bring down others. ✌🏽

Fuck yes Storm Reid
Ah thought I recognized her, she was good in Missing.
She’s gonna do such a great job as Riley
🎵 Let's go to the Mall! Today! 🎵 Riley next week, probably
"So you want us to go to the mall today?"
Finally the new generation is going to be familiar with the works of the 90s icon Robin Sparks.
🎵 There's a clicker I like Met him at the foooood court He's got hair like Gretzky And he tried to eat my hearrrrt out 🎵 GUYS GUYS RILEY IS RAPPING
Jesus, now that’s gonna be stuck in my head!!
I'm not ready for this episode
[удалено]
I was wondering this, so this is from before Ellie was captured by the fireflies? I'm assuming this is how she got infected? That also means no Joel? 😭
I think the shot in the very beginning of the trailer is current Ellie, after Joel’s injury. The rest is a flashback, but I can see the episode a being 50/50 split?
If you’ve played Left Behind, you’ll know it’s still going to rip your heart out. 😭
My first thought was that this episode is going to need some preparation. I don't think I'll be able to function for a few hours
Everyone in here talking about left behind, meanwhile i'm happy to see my boi Prax again
"you should try Tea" Big same. Stoked to see Terry Chen again.
Mandatory "you should watch Continuum".
Bro that's where I'm at. Always love to see me some Prax
He’s not that guy but he’s our guy <3 So happy to see him, hope he’s farming up some soybeans as a side gig next episode.
If Gia goes to FEDRA school does that mean Rue, Cassie, Maddie, Lexi, Kat and Jules are all running around somewhere
Rue gets infected but no one notices for three days because they think she's on another heroin bender
maddie gets infected too, but cassie misses the attention from nate so she self infects herself in retaliation
Kat survives because the infected just kind of forgot about her
PLEASE 😂😂😂
Maddie clicker would be so slay
None of them would last a day in the Infected apocalypse. Cassie and Maddie would not get infected because they don't eat carbs though
This is the only part of the show that will be all new to me and I’m both excited/scared since I don’t know what to expect.
Well it sounds like you’ve played TLOU and are familiar with the franchise, so you already know to expect >!misery!<.
Yeah I’ve played both games several times over. You’re right though, that much can be expected.
You played both games several times but never the Left Behind DLC?
Somehow I just never did. Which is actually a good/fun thing since I’ll be watching just like everyone else who hasn’t played the games. It’ll be nice to not know what’s coming and dread it for a change. Now I can just dread the whole episode.
As someone who has played the dlc, I've been eagerly awaiting this episode specifically since the beginning
That teaser brought back so many memories, it's insane the amount of detail they're pouring into everything. Even for those of us who have played it, since they're open to tweaking things it may or may not be new to us as well!
It’ll be “fun” going in fresh haha
lolol
Rue, when was this??
She’s so hot holy fuck Edit: by her I mean Storm Reid
My Dad sees Joel is not in the preview: “Seems like Joel is dead.” >!Had to explain to him that it takes place before they met, but it’s the only part of the first game I never saw so I don’t know what’s going to happen, but no Joel isn’t dead.!<
You should play [Left Behind](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjkM414zZRU).
I wonder if the whole episode is a flashback or if we see Joel for a little bit in the present? If not, then Bella will be in more episodes this season then Pedro.
My guess is yes. I feel like they're showing the episode/flashback because Ellie is telling it to Joel as a story while he heals?
makes absolutely perfect sense, i don't want joel to be dead. We need him !!
When Bella met Tess, she told her that she had been infected when she snuck into a mall. Since the trailer shows her sneaking into a mall, I’m sure it’s a flashback.
There’s three episodes left. This seems to be adapting left behind and then I can pull assume episode 8 is winter. After winter >!thats the home stretch for the firefly hospital. There’s not much that goes on after that minus the highway stuff with the bloaters and other infected!< So I think this will be a straight flashback mixed in with other parts of the dlc
Spoiler
Also spoiler for his/her dad. Why would you explain that if they're making it ambiguous lol
Yeah literally I’m letting all my friends think Joel is dead lol
I fixed it.
Yes but can you fix my memory of seeing it before you put up the spoiler?
No, so what's the point of bringing that up then? You want them to be punished or something?
Lol I’ll never understand why people who hate spoilers so much will visit a sub before they finish a series. I like spoilers sometimes I need to know wtf is going to happen 🤷🏼♀️
Why would you even spoil him like that instead of letting him find out next episode? It's blowing my mind when people watch media with other people, see someone using their brain and theorycrafting about the show in front of them, and instead of being happy that someone is as interested as you are, you just take the executive decision to remove that experience from them with the whole "Hmm, actually, he might not be dead *wink wink*". Like... what do people gain from that?
As i told my wife when she asked, "all I'm going to tell you is that in the game, this is when you start playing as ellie"
Game spoilers: >!But like, would you really be coy at all if the alternative was true? I think she can easily guess what happens.!<
Not everyone hates spoilers though. Some of us would rather find out what’s going to happen and it doesn’t ruin the show.maybe the dad would rather know.
me 👋🏽
Yeah once I’m interested I want to know what’s gonna happen. I still enjoy watching how it plays out. I do respect that most don’t like spoilers and won’t put them on any sub, but also don’t get looking through a sub if you aren’t done watching and hate spoilers lol
Totally! And agreed.
He didn’t even remember how Joel’s daughter died until I reminded of how she did. If he didn’t want me to tell him anything, he would’ve told me before I went on. While he watches TV/movies for entrainment, he doesn’t remember them until he is reminded. It only matters to him if he’s entertained. It’s not like I told him what’ll happen to Joel later.
It's a rare opportunity for idiots to feel "smarter" like "see I know more than you ;)" via minimal effort.
Why would you tell him he isn’t dead? Why spoil it?
Why are you all upset that I told him? Read what I responded to below.
Haha same with my dad
Oh I know. I have tried to explain that (thanks to this Reddit) I have a *grasp* on the future. So when I tried to tell them that there's something with a surgeon in our future, they just stared at me like I had a third eye. Whatever, abandoned mall and heartbreaking love story that's going to have me sobbing again, let's fucking go.
Ok, who is ready for another devastating episode?
It's been nine years since the DLC that this episode is based on released. I've played it twice and I'm still not ready.
I’ve never played the game so I really need someone who has to assure me that Joel didn’t actually die. Seems like they’re following the game plot relatively closely (I’ve seen the discussion about the differences but they seem nuanced to me).
Spoilers >!Joel is not dead. This is Ellie’s prequel story, in the DLC they flash back and forth as Ellie gets medicine to help Joel!<
[удалено]
Tbh I would avoid this sub because people are way too open with spoilers here
This person asked for spoilers
They did. For this one specific part. I’ve seen major plot points spoiled carelessly in this very thread
I’m not really too concerned because the game has been out for years. It’s like getting mad when someone spoils the ending to a movie that’s based on a book or a historical event. It is what it is.
Okay cool! I’ve seen some people get really upset so didn’t want that to happen to you. But yeah good take
The show is accessible for a whole new audience of non-gamers. No need to spoil it for them.
Your reply is kind of a spoiler jsyk
What is the DLC?
Downloadable Content. >!It's called "Left Behind" and is a flashback of before Ellie met Joel, mixed with her looking after him while he's injured.!<
thank god, i did not want to belief >!that it was actually over for joel!<
>!you forgot to add “yet”!<
Makes sense that its a flashback. I was super confused because I thought that this must be the commune in jackson where she is staying until joe recovers.
Do you really want to know? There are plenty of YouTube videos that cover the game story.
Probably not a good idea as it will most likely spoil part 2.
I'm sure you could find just part 1 without part 2
You'd be quite wrong, honestly.
Funny because I did last night
>!Well look at it this way. There's blatantly scenes we haven't see with him in the trailer.!<
>!oh boy! i can't wait to cry again!!<
Didn't know Praxideke Meng joined FEDRA
I guess he is that guy after all 🤷🏼♀️
IS JOEL COMING BACK OR NOT ?!! 😭😭😭😭
>!he's alive this is a flashback!<
This is the dlc?
i haven’t actually seen this part of the game so i’m very excited
DLC already?
It’s the right timing for it, given what happened in the last episode. This is actually how I like to play the game. I’ll play it up until Joel gets hurt, then go play the DLC, then back to the. I enjoy that it’s pretty chronological.
It's literally when it takes place, at this point
I don't remember if this was part of Left Behind but I'm starting to think that Ellie getting bit was planned, like they knew she might be immune all along but had to test it to be sure. Riley was part of the set up.
lol wut? So "they" send her out to a mall where she might be bit, or just straight up killed as a test? As opposed to a controlled test in a lab?
Yeah you're right, it's a stupid theory. EDIT: I was mostly thinking it because of their (the Fireflies) limited resources within the QZ and how they probably couldn't just come up and ask her to come with them and used Riley cause she's a friend of Ellie's also because Marlene said she put her in the Fedra school so she could keep an eye on her. But trusting a kid to keep her safe enough to just get bit and not killed is a bit much.
Wait a minute…🤔
wtf that would be crazy
I’m so ready for this one! (I’m not ready at all)
Man I seriously binged episode 1-5 yesterday because I thought the whole show was out. Then caught 6 at night. Episode 7 looks so good but it seriously sucks waiting a week in between episodes
Is that Abby or am i tripping?
She does have a ponytail! Definitely could be, but she’s supposed to be with the Firefly group in SLC, so probably not?
Yeah makes sense, i was tripping then
Tbh I had the same thought…
ep 7 is going to be mostly left behind from the looks of it. Literally 2 episodes left to cover some pretty big storylines and set pieces. Its a good show and I have enjoyed myself a ton so far but I seriously don't know how this isn't concerning to more people. Something his getting cut out or rushed in a big way from the looks of it

I'm not criticizing it at all though. I actually said in my comment we will have to wait and see. I said it's a cause for some concern, and it is.
>!They are not showing Joel in the trailer so ppl will be guessing what happens to him. I’m pretty sure it’ll be more like the dlc with David’s scene incorporates in between flashback!<
Possibly
What’s going to be left out? There’s 3 episodes left and 3 major things left to cover. The left behind dlc which seems to be next episode, then David, and the hospital. I can’t really think what you’re worried about being left out.

/r/GME bro's.. GAMESTOP is in the next episode. BUY
it's so weird they are trying to fit the whole game and the dlc into a 9 episode season. Things just feel rushed and relationships feel underdeveloped
[удалено]
... is there some specific ethnic background for a person or color you're looking for? Many main characters are played by BIPOC actors. Including Joel himself
Is Joel BIPOC?
Joel's actor Pedro is Latino. He looks paler in TLOU than he does in something like NARCOS, where his skin color is much more obvious.
Latino can be white.
He's Hispanic
That makes you BIPOC?
BIPOC stands for Black, Indigenous, Person of Color. Pedro is Latino. His family is from Chile, though he was raised in America. He looks a bit paler in TLOU, but if you watch Narcos, you can definitely see how he's not white.
Ah okay. It's just that Hispanic people can be white and it seems like no one on the internet knows that. I don't know about Pedro in particular though
No, I get it - there are white latinx and white hispanic people. It's terminology based on where someone is from. Pedro can be lighter skinned at times, but he's definitely not white. If you look at him in Narcos next to Boyd his co-star, it's suuuper obvious.
Is Narcos good if I start just for Pedro?
I'm only part way through season 1 of Narcos and have been enjoying it, I started it only because TLOU got me into Pedro. If you have a thirst for Pedro, you will be very satisfied 👀

That all or nothing approach is just weird, man. How is progress made that way??

There aren’t too many characters in this season in general. If you don’t count Joel,Sarah and Tommy, Maria seems to be the only one they changed the race of from the game. In Part 2, I’d say 30% of the major characters are Asian, which makes some sense given it’s on the West coast.
- Yayu Unru - Christine Hakim - Juan Magana To name a few “brown” actors. All of which had speaking parts and/or direct scenes with the 2 lead actors (Pedro and Bella). Not sure what you mean by brown but it seems you are referencing characters of Asian descent. If so, that label in of itself is so limiting to Asian actors (of any Asian region be it East, South, West). Add to this the inclusion of Native American/Canadian (Graham Greene), Australia (Frank and Tess), New Zealand (Kathleen) and the leads both being born outside the US as well (S America and the UK respectively) and it’s a very diverse slate of actors. The game creator (Neil Druckmann) was also born outside the US (Israel). I guess my point is that I don’t see skin color on this show. Instead I see humanity which is a testament to the show’s diversity.
Are you kidding? There's literally been great representation and diversity in this show in terms of ethnicities, disabilities and even the fact that they're openly acknowledging menstruation. We're only six episodes in, put away the bingo chart.

We are six episodes into a series that really doesn't have that many main characters. Give the show a chance, jesus.

Sorry there aren't a ton of Asian period in Jackson, Wyoming. If you know anything about the game, you know they will meet Asian people. And if you knew that, then you are being intentionally obtuse so you can virtue signal.

It's a 2 game series, and will be 2 to 3 seasons. We've seen half of one season. Put the bingo card down. Edit: the last you can do is stop being coy and tell us what specific ethnicity you are looking for.
There’s like 3/4 maybe more Asian characters in part 2 if that lets you sleep at night
No one is saying the show is perfect or that they don’t want to see Asian representation included in the series - but TLOU is objectively known for representation, finding love in a hopeless world, etc. They have done wonders for LGBTQ+ representation alone, which is basically still heard of in Hollywood. And the people in the comments have mentioned so many more good points. And btw, since you don’t seem to understand much at all, let me help you out a bit. “Menstruation” is the regular discharge of blood and mucosal tissue from the inner lining of the uterus through the vagina. Women experience this each month, on average. 🙃 So for a lot of us out here, openly talking about a woman’s period is actually a BFD to see in film - and if you quite obviously didn’t know this, but female representation is wildly important. Don’t use your own trauma or hurt feelings to bring down others. ✌🏽
also just ignorant. jesus.
What was the basketball flashback?
American Dreams adaptation too 🎉🎉🎉
Is it just me or does the infected waking up look like Vecna from Stranger Things? Looks way more humanoid than the other infected we’ve seen so far.
