On the discussion of The Last of Us, I agree with many of the comments from RMC and Deux and I’m someone who never played the game and had no pre-existing impression of the story other than “it’s a zombie thing”.

I think it started strong, but then felt that it jump too quickly through the story. Looking back at 9 episodes, 2 of them were largely irrelevant to the present day story. Not saying those episodes were bad, Bills episode was great, but they cannibalized the time available for the main story.

The end, for me, seemed to come out of nowhere and felt there was some significant development missing between Joel, Ellie and others (redacted). The actions taken by Joel against “background characters” in the last location also seemed very “video-gamey” and unrealistic in the context of the show.

Overall, I was kinda left with a “so that’s it?” feeling.

Very interesting to hear these thoughts coming from someone who hasn't played the games. Definitely seems like an opinion hard to find among others who haven't played the game, but I guess Deux and I weren't too off the mark with how we felt!


Similar feeling were shared from a friend of mine who also hasn’t played the game. So I think it’s a reasonable opinion of the show. I also agree with what you and Deux said that it could have benefited from a 10th episode and letting episode 9 be a full hour to let the climax build. Based on your discussion, in the game the ending has much more of an impact but I don’t think they hit that same impact in the finale.
