Since this is a no hurt au I wanted a way to include Neil’s scars without making them scars so instead I gave him vitiligo where his scars used to be

A Shot Breakdown of the new TLOU S2 first look!

*Cue Little Sadie* Ellie at the dance. Looks like it’s ripped directly from the game. No notes. Though this does make me wonder if we’ll be getting this scene sooner rather than later. In the game, we don’t see this scene until the Farmhouse. I think I read somewhere that Craig Mazin isn’t a big fan of flashbacks, so we might be seeing some stuff in chronological order. 

The tattoo! And the chemical burn. No idea where this shot is, but it looks like Ellie is either drawing or at a workbench. Either way, it looks great. 

The great Catherine O’Hara! I’m so excited to see her here. When her casting was first announced, many people, myself included, believed that she would be playing the Seraphite prophet, but then in an interview she mentioned that she was doing scenes with Pedro, so that wouldn’t make sense. I’ve seen others say that she’s might be playing a therapist-type character in Jackson. The editing in the trailer definitely makes it seem like that! But I think this is a misdirect. Joel’s dialogue in this trailer is definitely him talking to Tommy like at the beginning of the game. I don’t think he’s talking to Catherine there. So who is she talking to? It could be Joel in a different scene. It could also be Ellie. It could also be someone completely different. What a mystery! I’m so excited to learn more about her character. 

Oh Joel. My sad old man. He looks so broken here. Pedro, your Emmy is coming! Like I said before, the editing makes it look like he’s talking to Catherine, but I believe this scene is with Tommy. 

This shot is going to keep me up at night. What is this?? When is this?? Why is my daughter screaming? She has a bandage around her chest, she’s on a gurney, and someone is holding her shoulder. Could be Maria? My prediction is that this is Ellie right after being brought back to Jackson after Golfing, and she’s having a freak out. It seems like she’s looking at something (someone?) What if Joel’s body is in whatever room that is? I’m not sure. I’ve seen some other people suggest that this could be some kind of nightmare sequence which could also be very possible. I saw another suggestion that this could be Ellie getting the chemical burn to cover her bite mark but I’m skeptical of that. That scream is way too emotionally charged in my opinion. Whatever the case may be, Bella is showing their acting chops here and I see awards in their future. 

Another shot that has me stumped. This must be Jackson right? Let’s say for now that it is. Is Jackson under attack? By who? Raiders? Infected? This looks like way too many people to be Abby’s crew. Maybe this is a flashback. I saw someone suggest that this could be a a flashback to Tommy defending Jackson so that we can see his sharpshooter skills. That’s definitely possible. If it’s not Jackson, then could it be a flashback to a Seraphite conflict? Those wooden walls could suggest a Seraphite village. I’m not sure. This one is a doozy.

Tommy!! He looks so good. I cannot wait to see more Gabriel Luna in this role. He’s gonna kill it. So this shot comes right after the one with the people running towards that wooden gate (possibly Jackson) and with the editing, it looks like Tommy is on top of that gate. It could very well be the same scene or it’s two different scenes spliced together. I think it’s very possible that this shot is from the scene where Tommy and Joel save Abby. I doubt this is Tommy in Seattle since this is very clearly winter. 

The Seraphites! They look awesome. I’m thinking this must be the scene with Ellie in the park on her way to the Hospital on Day 2. It could also be Abby’s Day 1 when she meets Yara and Lev, but I’m starting to think we won’t be seeing Abby’s Seattle days until Season 3. There have been no casting announcements for Yara and Lev.

Dina! My lovely Dina. Okay so I’m not really sure where this shot would be, but I’m thinking it’s somewhere in Seattle because of the coat she’s wearing. Isabela Merced was wearing it while shooting with Bella in Vancouver for Seattle scenes. In the tunnels maybe? The theater? Not sure, but she looks great! I love Dina, and I think Isabela is gonna be great. After seeing her in the Alien: Romulus trailers, I’m confident that she’s going to knock it out of the park. 

Ellie unleashing Hell? Amazing. You go girl. 

If you look closely, you can see a person standing on the ridge in this shot. My guess is that it’s Abby or Owen scouting out the Jackson area. 

Jeffrey Wright is back as Isaac! Let’s go! One of my few complaints about Part 2 is not seeing enough of Isaac. He’s such an intimidating character and I need more. Jeffrey Wright is going to DELIVER. 

First look at Kaitlyn Dever as Abby! Another shot that could’ve be ripped right out of the game. I think Kaitlyn is going to be an amazing Abby, and I hope for her sake that she doesn’t go on any social media when Season 2 premiers. IYKYK.

Nothing much to say here except that this is most likely Jackson/early game. It’s hard to tell who the riders are. It could be any combination of Ellie, Dina, Jesse, Joel, or Tommy. Or maybe they’re random patrollers from Jackson; who knows?!

This has to be the subway scene in Seattle Day 1! I love that level; the introduction of the Shamblers, the red flares, clickers and WLF everywhere. It’s gonna be good.

Clicker in the subway! Makeup looks amazing, but of course I’m not surprised. This show cannot and will not miss. 

“I saved her.” Yes you did, Joel. You saved your babygirl. Like the first shot of Joel, I think he’s talking to Tommy here. Most likely not Catherine O’Hara (but I’m open to being surprised!) Pedro just brings so much vulnerability and softness to Joel. He’s the same character from the games, but he’s also not. It’s not better or worse, just a little different, and I applaud Pedro for his performance.

“There’s nothing more hopeless than having the solution and having no idea how to use it.”

This is a quote from Troy from the episode 8 podcast that hit me so hard. Ellie gets the solution to help Joel, she gets the penicillin, but she has no idea how to use it. This cure is right at her fingertips and she’s doing what she thinks is right, what she thinks might work, without actually knowing anything for certain. This is exactly what she did with Sam. The saving grace, the “cure” was quite literally entirely in her hands; she cuts her hand open and lets herself bleed directly into Sam’s bite, she fills the syringe and injects it right into Joel’s wound. Neither are the right ways to save these people, but she doesn’t know and she’s operating on instinct and urgency because she is still a kid and she doesn’t have enough experience to know what to do. She’s just doing what she thinks might work because the prospect of losing these people when the opportunity to try, even without any certainty is right in front of her is too much to handle.

fun little thing for all you TimeToys (the Doctor x the Toymaker) fans...the Toymaker has a teddy bear on one of his shelves that looks awfully similar to the one Six keeps in his coat pockets. fanfic fodder, anyone? 😉

WAIT WAIT WAIT SO (thank u anon)

JAKARTA/FLOUR = mentioned on radio, start of the outbreak, happens to have the largest flour mill in the world

FLOUR/ERGOT = the fungus the epidemiologist mentioned in the opening, ergot, affects wheat

ERGOT/BISCUITS = neighbor guy is force-feeding granny those biscuits in the beginning and offers some to Joel and Sarah, who DECLINE (biscuits have flour in them, wild, I know)

BISCUITS/MF CRAIG MAZIN = said in tlou podcast that “careful viewers” will be rewarded- in reference to the biscuit scene.

Of course the fungus we see in TLOU is Corycep, but maybe it was able to mutate or just feed off of the other fungus?

It's fun to see people discuss whether what Joel did was right or wrong when that's hardly the point.

The point is: if you had a daughter, and that daughter was taken for a potential cure of a zombie apocalypse and had to die for it without even knowing, after you've already lost another daughter, wouldn't you kill every fucking accomplice ? Because I would, I'd probably kill anyone who represented even a distant menace to her safety.

And,

I sincerely do not think they would've found a cure. It takes years and a large, indefinite number of doctors, biologists, chemists and labs to develop anything, and you seriously expect that a single man, who doesn't wait a second before killing the only glimmer of hope for humanity, who has formulated a very vague hypothesis and has not run one test that could suggest that hypothesis to be correct, to actually find a cure?

there is something so intimate and special about ‘the last of us.’ in the way that neil druckmann was terrified that no one would even be interested in this incredible story he was pouring his heart into over a decade ago. in the way that the original cast were brought together for the first game but not only to play the characters and bring them to life; to become them. the way that ashley johnson is in love with space the same way ellie is. how joel loves a guitar and to sing, just as troy baker does. the dog we find at the dam as joel being buckley, troy’s dog that had passed away three years prior to the first game, living on forever in a different world. we have a phenomenal director fall in love with this story, and when craig and neil meet they agree to make this insane show that neil was trying so hard to make a reality after being turned away on multiple occasions. the show cast being so intertwined with the game cast. merle carrying marlene’s legacy throughout her whole life. ashley birthing the character on screen that she gave life to at the very start of this journey. the same composer that created one of the most iconic soundtracks not only being featured in the second game as his own character but coming back and creating yet another beautiful score for its adaptation. the directors both having ellie’s switchblade tattooed on their bodies. getting to listen to troy, neil and craig gush and tear up talking about this franchise for hours on the podcast because they are just that god damn proud of it.

‘the last of us’ is something to be apart of.
