“I promised to keep her safe and look after her” uh ok marline, I don’t think handing her off to a stranger to trek across america, letting her bond with him and then trying to lobotomise her when you see her again is exactly “keeping her safe”

she touched the boot :(

TLOU HBO Episode 1 thoughts: (I swear this is actually episode 1 )

Ok, so starting in the way past with some scientists discussing pandemics, 1 specificly proposing the idea behind the cortacepts virus.

"So if that happens?" "We lose."

Ok, we are with Sarah right before the outbreak, this is where I had first thought it would start.

Radio gives us the first hint at the outbreak.

Aww, the watch. Why does Sarah have a knife?

Oh shit! Old lady is turning!

Dog knows something is up

I wonder if this is one of the movies they talked about Joel liking in part 2

The dog came to get Sarah, she should not be going outside. Poor boy dosn't want to go back to his infected owners. He ran away, at least he has a chance on his own. I'm just going to imagine he and some other pets lived happily ever after in the wild.

Oh shit, Sarah found her neighbors, I wish she hadn't seen this. Eww why are the fungi coming out of her mouth like that?

Why are they running but he told a random neighbour to hide in their house?

I always hate the bit where they leave the family on the side of the road

We are splitting up from tommy real early

And she is gone.

I'm surprised how nicely FEDRA treated the infected little boy, I think they went about it all the right way. I expected them to shoot him outside the gate.

Oh shit, public hanging

Aww, Elli is all locked up. Hm, fake name, guess she hasn't spoken to Marline yet

Joel and Tess share bed, guess their relationship is less implied than in the game

Marline time. Ok, so she does know

Aww, Ellie is really attached to her knife

I see, Ellie dosnt know who Marline is, but she recognises the knife, so she knows who Ellie is

"You my fucking mum or something?" Do I look like your mum?" "No you do not"

I think in the game they already knew eachother, based on how they talked about her on Left Behind

The overgrown infected stuck to the wall looks VERY overgrown. Tess says it wasn't there last time she was there, how quickly do they grow?

I love how angry and defensive early Ellie is, before she warms up to Joel. And Bella imbodies it perfectly.

In the rain sneaking past FEDRA, this is making me want to play part 2 again

I'm guessing the song is an 80s song, meaning trouble

The screams of infected over the music and rain, so good

Final thoughts

I loved it

The casting choice for Marline was perfect, she looks just like her

Bella is fantastic at Ellie and Pedro is great at Joel

I love Ellie being so attached to her knife cuz its all that she has of her mum, but I suppose I only know that cuz I acidentlt watched the last episode first
