wait okay new tlou hbo theory: each episode is structured to show a parallel between a specific character’s backstory and what is happening in the present. they’ve already flat out said that ep3 is gonna be about bill and frank so i think it would actually make a lot of sense for them to use that as a base episode structure, and it would fit really nicely with the overall story arc

first ep would be joel’s backstory of course, second ep likely tess’s, fourth ep maybe that hunter from pittsburgh that starts the revolt?, fifth - sam and henry, sixth uhh tommy and maria?, seventh probably ellie circa. left behind, eighth marlene or david maybe, and then the finale could be anna to parallel joel’s choice.

#if that is what they’re doing they probably won’t follow that structure exactly #mostly because that would 50% of the show isn’t even focused on the main story #i could seen them cutting out tess’s backstory #or tommy and maria’s #but either way it would be super cool to see everyone’s outbreak day experiences and how they got to where they are #and in terms of the anna storyline it would make it really easy to prep the audience into getting into the mindset of contrasting timelines #it would also be a cool thematic flip to get the audience trained into already knowing whose story the flashback is showing #only to get to anna’s story and be like who is this character and how does she connect? it would make for a fun mini mind game #tlou hbo #my posts
