Easy to miss little detail; Sarah and Joel don't eat pancakes for breakfast, they don't eat the biscuits offered by their neighbor, Sarah doesn't eat the neighbor's cookies and Joel forgets to bring a cake home. It's implied that the fungal virus spread through flour or grain throughout the day and that's how Joel, Sarah and Tommy avoided it.

Fun Fact: The opening scene takes place in 1968. 1968 was the same year the first zombie movie was made. George Romeros Nights of the Living Dead. That film is the reason we have this show in the first place since it was the inspiration for what we now know as zombies

Holy Hell, this pilot episode of The Last of Us was picture-perfect. I was hooked from scene one where they basically explained the fungus infection/pandemic (also, how crazy is it that it's basically a parallel to what we've slightly been living in the last 3 years?). Also, as someone who finally played the original game during lockdown, I LOVED how damn near accurate everything was. The death of Sarah (f#ck off to the racist trolls who had a problem with Sarah being race-swapped in this episode), albeit familiar, was still just as painful as the game version. Props to Nico Parker and Pedro Pascal for their chemistry and the acting between them. What made the experience even more fulfilling was that my dad, who is a MASSIVE fan of Last of Us 1, loved the episode as well. Fun fact: Last of Us 1 is my dad's all-time favorite video game. He noticed every little detail watching the episode, which made me smile. I'm hooked, and I cannot wait for more. And remember, y'all: *"When you're lost in the darkness, look for the light."*

[@maybetomorrownewmaker]

Are there really people upset about Sarah's race? That's stupid. Pedro Pascal is Chilean, it makes perfect sense that Sarah would be darker skinned.
