given that it wasn't critical to the main timeline plot, I wish they would have made it more realistic and had her not recommend bombing (because that's not only extremely unreliable as a sterilisation method, but will force all humans to try to escape, spreading the virus), but instead martial law with a sort of extreme covid lockdown - to try to isolate and immobilise everybody as much as possible. besides the lack of effectiveness of bombardment at that stage, it's also narratively implausible that a scientist would jump to recommending that much collateral damage so quickly. edit: oh, and she didn't even say a word about trying to secure the grain products that she referred to as a "perfect substrate".

It really rattled me how tough the clickers were, and how much they emphasized the importance of just avoiding them because dealing with them is just always so dangerous. Also loved how effective the fungus on their heads was a deflecting gunfire. If you were concerned that this was just another zombie franchise, that first encounter really puts it to bed and sets the tone that these things are terrifying, deadly monsters. The whole hive mind thing is an actual nightmare; you’re NEVER safe.

[@dancedj2k2]

you guys missed one. When Tess sprains her ankle, Joel is taping it up, Tess looks at him with amazement at the kindness and tenderness he is showing her when doing her ankle.

[@sabrinaf506]

I also thought it was interesting that she hurt her ankle, knowing what happens to her. It reminded me of Sarah's death and how she hurt her ankle beforehand, which is why Joel had to carry her and may have affected how they ended up where they did with the soldier. I don't know if it was intentional, but it felt like foreshadowing to me since, while watching the episode, I knew Tess was going to die (having played the games).

[@Lasercatss]

The major change around Tess’ death in the show was, IMO, a better send off for her character. Tess is badass, sometimes a bad person, but also has lots of good too. Tess sacrifices herself (knowing she will die anyway) and the massive explosion helps that devastation wash over you as you watch in disbelief of what’s happened and how quickly it all went down. I really enjoyed this change. Great video - thanks man.

That opening was downright scary. The professor and now her hand started to shake when they told her 14 workers were missing and the only hope was to bomb the city gave me and I’m sure many others goosebumps.

About that chicken sandwich... 20 years later, they've probably figured out how to make grain products like bread without getting people sick. (Maybe it's simple. The heat of an oven should kill mold, even if it won't remove toxins created by mold. But a lot of recipes use flour that doesn't go through an oven. Also, in a world that hasn't had a FungiZombie Apocalypse, no-one is careful about flour dust in the way they are with, say, raw chicken. So after 2003, people might have figured out how to use flour and still be safe from the fungi.)

Another amazing episode from HBO and another amazing breakdown! Can’t wait to see episode 3.

[@Dalt1n999]

I just saw that the show creators made a backstory for Tess but it didn't get to be on the show, in this backstory, she was a wife and a mother, her husband and son both got infected, she killed her husband but couldn't bring herself to kill her son so she locked him in the basement, where he probably eventually became a clicker, so I think that if Tess survived, based on this story, she'd probably start to see Ellie as a daughter as well, but would still want to see her being used for a cure in the end, since she still wants to heal her actual son, which would probably create a very interesting extra layer of conflict in the end, where Joel would have to fight and kill Tess

I hope they have the these mini episodes of the start of the outbreak every episode because it’s so cool. The Dr and the military officer did great jobs to portray the fear of what was coming. They’ve made this fungus seem so frightening like the thought of it has me more scared of things growing inside me rather than turning into a monster. Also I feel the Drs scene when she is being told the facts will sit with viewers the entire season

[@angelinasaylor3561]

I couldn't agree more. Most shows never show this much detail on how something took place. I also hope they keep doing this giving us even more detail on how things unfolded.

I didn't understand why Tess was concerned with the shoddy lighter when she had multiple grenades sitting around... 🤷🏽‍♂

[@anthonylesley982]

Just when I thought the undead couldn’t get any creepier that zombie rape kiss that happened to Tess before her death was creepy and gross in a good way

Just finished it and that ending hit hard didn’t think she was gonna die.

[@alyssatheexcellent]

17:04 I literally thought the same thing! I was trying to pinpoint what building The Departed ended with in the episode. Haha

[@pillsburryDoughFun]

I was wondering if they would do it here or until next episode. They fucking did it again. As soon as I saw daylight, the “only a sprained ankle” and little bit of blood on her shoulder 😢😢..and they went into the museum. Knew it was coming. The clickers MAN! Anxiety !!!

[@bvnnyface]

I mentioned it on my Tumblr but another cool TLOU 2 easter egg (kinda) is the music at the end of the episode! “Allowed to be happy” is part of the part 2 soundtrack and is played in a more part 1 style in the end of ep 2! I think the choice of song especially the title is pretty significant especially cause Joel and Ellie had finally had a small moment (as mention when Joel checked his watch), and now Joel is probably going to emotionally isolate himself, but also because of Ellie’s experience of loss where everyone she knows “Has either left me or died”, and now she’s lost Tess, who was the only one of the two who was treating her nicely at this point.

[@guts6344]

It’s crazy cause Ellie was eating a sandwich with bread so they are still eating bread even after the outbreak😅

[@personman1148]

Probably test the crops and farm it out of those small window planters to keep it from getting contaminated.

That kiss of death for Tess at the end was literally nightmare fuel and actually scarred me a bit i think lol

it’s tragic because tess didn’t get to have a goodbye kiss with joel before he left bc of her infection.. instead she had the kiss of death

One thing that seems overlooked, is the smell. The sheer amount of rotting corpses combined with how the infected probably smell one giant yeast infection/athlete's foot. I can't believe it hasn't been mentioned
