The weirdest part of the timeline change was grappling with the idea that with the outbreak now being in 2003, I would be the same age as Sarah.

She’s always been a little kid to me, the outbreak of the game is set in my 20s, and reframing my idea of her to “my peer and contemporary” means also adjusting to the idea that in the TV world I would be 14 during the outbreak.

#yikes but I like it better when it happens after college and all that #which is an interesting reaction of course #like they took it back 10 years so the show's present is 2023 instead of 2033 like in the game #but it really is making me reflect on what that 10 year difference in the outbreak would make me lose #tlou #tlou hbo #tlou hbo spoilers #anyway I loved it #there were so many scenes where it felt just like the game #and others where the VIBES were so perfect omfg #that scene where Joel wakes up on the couch and Ellie is there?#yeah that gave me chills like YEAH that IS Joel and Ellie for sure #I also laughed and shouted 'too soon' and 'low blow' at the TV when Marlene asked Ellie if Riley was a terrorist after she called her one
