The Last of Us - Episode 3 - Long, Long Time
We have hit the first third of The Last of Us' inaugural season and man was it a doozy. We are finally introduced to Bill and find out that there was a large change from the video game to the series! Tune in to see if it was better, worse or basically the same!
We also brought in the third leg of our production team's tripod, Dustin Rieffer to pick his brain about this weeks episode!
BILL AND FRANK…IN THE MULTIVERSE
In our most recent episode we discussed the HUGE differences between the game and the series’ Bill and Frank relationship. I linked a video below that will show you exactly how we gamers were introduced to Frank.
Spoiler alert…I like what the show did better.

The Last of Us - Episode 2 - Infected
In week two of our watch along, me and Jessica Morgan discuss our first big loss of the series, the chilling and realistic intro that grounds the story and the world building outside of the QZ!
THE LAST OF US - TESS’ DEATH SIDE BY SIDE!!
I wanted to show the small, but different emotional changes that the show took in dealing with Tess’ death. While I love Anna Torv as Tess (she is magnificent in Fringe btw) I actually prefer the emotional performance between the video game’s characters. Joel and Tess, played by Troy Baker and Annie Wersching, really broke my heart. Wersching’s performance especially was heartfelt.
I linked two videos below showing A) The difference and B) the game version.

The Last of Us - Episode 1 - When you’re lost in the darkness…
It's TIME!!! What might be arguably the most anticipated video game adaption of all time is finally out. The award winning video game The Last of Us comes to HBO and we couldn't be more excited about it! Join me and a slew of guest as we break down the weekly episodes, the difference between the games and the series, what we hope to see and what, if anything, disappointed us. We will be rolling the series weekly and can't wait to see if the series lives up to expectations.
In episode 1, When you're lost in the darkness, me and Jessica Morgan break down key differences and also what we hope to see continued in the coming weeks. We also talk about Tess and Joel's relationship, the pace setting opening and how Sarah and Joel were almost perfect.
Game vs. Series Side by Side!!
It’s nearly impossible to explain how similar - if exact - some of the shots were from the first episode of TLOU in comparison to the game. My friends at IGN did a wonderful video showing this! For you non-gamers out there, give it a watch!
