The Last of Us Episode 1 Recap Breakdown Review

[@Xzor]

I'm probably in the minority, but the opening 1968 scene had me geeking out... Christopher Heyerdahl, John Hannah, and Josh Brener, each I can recognize simply by the cadence of their voices... Amazing casting!

[@82shadowheart]

+1, also was glad to see the "Batiatus" in opening ) ... kinda miss Spartacus

[@maboroshistudio]

100% agree

[@frank9592]

loved it, and it was clearly an homage to Romero's Dawn of the Dead

[@susu_m]

John Hannah would take me a second, but Christopher heyerdahl heck yah 😄

[@mandymcpoo]

Can't think of a better new series for these two to cover. It's awesome that Ty's played the game and Wes hasn't. Gonna be dope, looking forward to it.

[@TYandThatGuy]

It is good the guys are genuinely interested in the show and it shows

[@steewith2ees14]

@@TYandThatGuy You make such an obviously perfect point that plebs like me need it spelling out from time to time - its registered as one of those moments where a lucky rube like myself gains temporary insight into why I am here learning about storytelling week after week instead of watching 2 hour essays on how Lucasfilm are going to re - make the sequal trilogy as a result of them caring more about the quality of the films as opposed to the money they made. Not to mention Amazon's 'Rings of Power' which has generated such collection of critical analysis that when combined, has destroyed Tolkien's legacy for the thousands of real fans that have been forced to endure female characters as well as other cast members from across the globe. Ty and Wes bring nothing but love for the material they love. Why be wasting any time whinging about art one does not like instead of doing amazing shows such as this. Stay safe, stay well Joseph / KZbin team - keep up the perfection!

[@TYandThatGuy]

I have wanted to do something like this for awhile so I was so excited when Wes said hey let’s do The Last of Us! He was worried I was going to be like more work? I told them as long as we keep it to 40 minutes per lol

[@InfinitySquared79]

That was the original "Planet Earth" from the BBC, narrated by David Attenborough...it terrified me too...

[@ptonpc]

Missed you live but Weeeeelllcooommmmeeee Back!

[@TYandThatGuy]

Welcome back!

[@BilbaoBaggins9]

Hey guys, Fan #9 here. City of Thieves was about Leningrad, not Stalingrad. As a civilian Stalingrad was more about being next-door-neighbor to persistent horrific combat and the threat of getting shot or blown apart at any second, and while Leningrad had bombings and combat it was more about being trapped and starving in a frozen foodless wasteland. Can't recommend the book highly enough - two characters are arrested and sentenced to death unless they can find a dozen eggs in this foodless hellscape under a ticking clock. Benioff got a lot of shit for the last season of GoT falling flat narratively because he ran out of Martin material, but this is a great f-ing book.

[@rockyetsx70]

More than a bit of similar motivation between cordyceps and the proto molecule. They both have a plan and people are just an incidental part of that.

[@NecroMoz]

Way, way back when this was barely announced I tweeted Craig Mazin and told him to cast Bella Ramsey and Wes Chatham as Ellie and Joel. He had replied to my tweets in the past so I’m sure he saw it, and I KNOW I was the first person to tweet those names to him (I checked with advanced search). When Bella was cast I suspected I might have played a small part. I wondered if Wes ever got a call about it 😂

[@TYandThatGuy]

That would have been awesome if Wes was Joel… think he is too young tho

[@Trepanation21]

27:14 This discussion reminds me that Ty and Wes might really appreciate the novel/series _Children of Time_ by Adrian Tchaikovsky - It regards a human-engineered virus designed to accelerate evolution, but being exposed to unintentional subjects. The characterization of lifeforms familiar to us as the readers, _literally experiencing_ the spark of an accelerated evolution is nothing short of magnificent and utterly fascinating. Special shoutout to the second book in the series, _Children of Ruin_ , which I was also totally engrossed in.

[@OffRampTourist]

Never played the game but loved the X-Files episode about the fungus below the volcano. Great discussion.

[@Squiesh]

[@miller-joel]

Sorry, the game is far superior.

[@robertcavanna789]

@@miller-joel You know Neil Druckmann directed the games too, right?

[@miller-joel]

@@robertcavanna789 False. Bruce Straley directed the first game, and helped shape it. After Bruce left or was pushed out, along with 70% of the company, and Neil became the VP, "part II" was a disaster. Horrible story, horrible characters, horrible pacing, horrible everything except the graphics. Forced and contrived beginning to end, the complete opposite of the original story.

[@robertcavanna789]

@@miller-joel couldn't disagree more about part II.

[@miller-joel]

@@robertcavanna789 You can disagree all you want, but facts are facts. "part II" still has a 5.8 user rating 2+ years later, compared to 9.2 for the original. The original had to win those fans from scratch. "part II" already had millions of fans hungry for more, and gave them the middle finger. You can also ignore the ratings, and just look at thousands of hours of detailed criticism and analysis. Which you don't get to casually dismiss. Sure, some people like Last Jedi. But they can't actually defend it.

[@markschmidt8967]

I see a new comic book series, The Expanse: Dragon Tooth, is set to arrive this year telling stories of events that happen in the time jump between books 6 and 7. Since this is all new material, I am curious how much involvement, if any, Ty, Daniel and their new writing buddy Wes Midnight have in projects like this or how that works with others adding to/continuing the story? Love the show!!

[@coreydull6945]

Solid pivot now that The Expanse episodes are almost over. I don't know the future of this podcast but I love the fact that you guys are figuring out ways to keep on talking about shit together.

[@TYandThatGuy]

The typical episode will be deep dives and interviews. Expanse content will never go away 100% but a series like the Last of Us recaps will be in addition to the regular episodes.

[@coreydull6945]

Fuck yeah. Excellent approach. As long as these 2 guys and others stick around talking about shit that's cool, I'll always be in

[@ADHDgrapher]

Paul Stamets felt familiar because it's the name of the astromycologistr in ST Discovery... Definitely not a coincidence :)

[@magdalenalasowy5230]

No, actually the mycologis in ST was named after the real mycologist with the same name :)

[@ADHDgrapher]

@@magdalenalasowy5230 I didn't imply the opposite. But when Wes said the name, I thought about the fictional character first because I'm a scifi nerd and I didn't know about the irl mycologist. I surmised it was the same for Ty.

[@TheLyleB]

I'm an extra in the QZ; Pedro Pascal does seem like a nice guy, he was cracking wise whenever I was within earshot of him. He called me scary lookin', which was flattering in the circumstances.

[@gnomadD_]

A relatively small podcast I listen to was given screener episodes for the entire season by HBO on the condition that he does not publicly disclose anything about unaired episodes until an hour after they've been released to the public. I cannot conceive of a universe where this podcast could get hold of the same. Loving the show and looking forward to listening to you guys' perspective going forward.

[@TYandThatGuy]

Thanks for the tip... we are looking into this so we can have the episode release sooner.

[@emerraldx]

I don’t mind you guys doing the review the week after so we can hit it with a 2nd watch if needed or if we are too busy to stay ahead but I know that is not how the short attention span world works anymore

[@davehan241]

Another shout out to Paul Stamets. I heard about him listening to the audiobook "Entangled Life: How Fungi Make Our Worlds, Change Our Minds & Shape Our Futures" by Merlin Sheldrake. I really hope Danial Abraham has read/heard it as well. The character in Star Trek discovery is named Stamets after him. That "Planet Earth" episode with the ants and cordyceps was mind-blowing...especially since it was the first Blu-Ray best selling title.

[@daplace902]

I remember once ... Long ago - I was in a college town in The Canadian Rockies with our Band. Got done with the gig that night (was wild & quite busy) & got back to the Hotel. I seem to remember it was early summer & I noticed there were Thunderstorms brewing up over the Mts. Even though I had been drinking only ,I climbed out at the end of the hall window in our Hotel onto one of the Hotel roofs. I remember sitting there for Many pleasant hours ,watching the storms & Lightning light up the peaks in the distance. An unforgettable night I can still see plain as day if I close my eyes.

[@OldCavtrooper22]

I have never played the game personally. However, Pedro Pascal is an amazing actor, so I gave it a shot. The first cold open was terrifying! I was instantly hooked. The second cold open is is even more chilling.

As a huge fan of the games and the fact the show is filmed in my hometown city of Calgary I was heavily anticipating it's release. Had the chance to explore behind the scenes while they were filming. The downtown bridge scene in the second episode freaked me out as it was made up of heavily altered shots of the community of Bridgeland where I once lived. I can tell you from the sets and locations we toured the series does deviate from the original game so don't expect a straight across carryover in that regard however it was obvious from the beginning was no expense was spared on Sony Pictures and HBO's part towards design and production value. Everything I've seen supports refined changes throughout. Expect nothing short of an improvement beyond the game storylines but for you hardcore game fans out there keep an open mind to new and open possibilities. Scripting is planned to shift into the second game at some point and the series ending has already been written. It's been discussed they'll be shooting a minimum of 5 seasons. Likely more but impossible to say this far out. The producer has made it public "he doesn't intend to drag the show out and doesn't believe in loose endings" so expect an epic conclusion when it eventually wraps. Overall super excited for the series and the show in general, stay tuned.

The practical effects and set pieces are fantastic. ETA will you have spoiler warnings before you talk about the game? I would love to hear your discussion about the series but am also trying to avoid spoilers....

Showing the apocalypse through Sarah's eyes in the show was perfect. That is how almost everyone would see the apocalypse before they die. Well executed

[@kbrewers]

I heard that with the ants, the cordyceps as it grows in the body, actually doesnt infect the brain. it infects the whole like respiratory system first, and controls the limbs and physical actions of the ants while the brain is generally left alone. It would be like having electrode message therapy all over your body when your muscles contract without brain function. Or the fungi chemically induces a high, where the ant doesnt know whats going on. But imagine if everyone infected was self aware for quite sometime after being infected. that scares me lol.

[@mikouf9691]

You both should read What Moves the Dead by T. Kingfisher. It's a retelling of The Fall of the House of Usher, but with some spookily aggressive fungi. And also read and/or watch The Girl with All the Gifts.

I'm pretty sure they made the story start in 2003 not just to make it line up with the current year but 2003 was a record year for heat.

[@daroe2340]

This game is the only game in my life that I think about at least one time a week, since the first time I played it 10 years ago. It is the only game that actively makes me feel guilty for a character making a narratively dictated choice that I would’ve made in real life.

[@graysonc8154]

So the game came out in 2013, which is why the game started then. The show came out in 2023, which is why the prologue started in 2003, so that 20 years could pass and pick up in the current year.

Can y’all share that podcast for screenwriters again?

[@iainyoung8057]

The reason the show starts in 2003 rather than 2013 can be explained in three words, well four, well five; next to no mobile phones. The proliferation of Information and news in 2003 was still mostly limited to the TV for A Lot of people. Especially kids and folks without tons of cash. The tension that builds through the first half of the episode wouldn't be believable a decade later, cos mobiles are almost everywhere by then and texts at least would have been sent and received. Shattering the suspense. 🙂

A science fiction film in a similar vein (although parasitic rather than fungal) which you may be interested in, and which i think is amazing, is Upstream Color (2013).

And, regarding the topic of the primitive organism controlling humans, don't overlook the parasites that cause toxoplasmosis.

[@simonemason2281]

Where did all the dead bodies that were being burnt by Joel and that random woman come from? Are they people who show up at the gate like the kid and are infected (or worse even if they're not) or do people within the walls still get infected? Slightly different topic but I thought it was a great character moment when Joel put that kid's body into the fire, there was something how he just dumped the body with zero care or compassion that said a lot about his frame of mind.

By that time all of the 3 mass effects were out (btw by itself it is a mix of pretty much of all sci-fi tropes and deserves a separate topic). And it was cinematic and the the story had actual CHOICES which mattered at least till the final 30 mins of the game. Last of us is too much 'on rails' for my taste.

[@tekhnoir]

By the time The Last Of Us was published, Quantic Dream had already published Fahrenheit and Heavy Rain. If you like 'cinematic' gameplay, I can't recommend the Quantic Dream games more highly.

[@ScottLahteine]

Craig Mazin is a really great director, which is somewhat unfortunate! Chernobyl was really effective at making people feel terrified of the potential danger of nuclear power, at a moment in history when we should be investing way more effort in transitioning to safe nuclear power. The Last of Us is also very effective in its horror, even though it's also about something we don't really need to fear. The bigger fear and terror underlying both stories is how horrible humanity itself can be within a collapsed world with broken systems, and that is what I find more compelling and relatable in his works.

[@macrosense]

I had the idea for a zombie book that was somewhat different. The zombies are relatively placid and retain some simple speech and memory. Instead of attacking humans they just wander around looking for corn fields. They frequently repeat “I just want to eat some corn”. You can sort of talk with them, but it is like talking with someone in late stages dementia. This seems like more of a Margaret Atwood book.
