'The Last of Us' - Season 2 Thread (NO GAME SPOILERS!) | HBO | Neil Druckmann stepping away from creative involvement

Who would be able to perform the surgery on Ellie? Her dad, the doctor, was murked by Joel.

There are no other doctors around lol.

I'm just fukking around breh

But thinking about it a little bit more seriously, they do act like doctors are some rare Pokemon that just randomly spawn

Her dad was a doctor in the apocalypse during 20 years, if I was in the fireflies I would make him passing down his knowledge and having students a top priority

At some point the fireflies were hiding in a medical school if I recall correctly. Somebody in our group better start opening these books and LEARN how to be a doctor. We have nothing but time and plenty bodies for trial and error

Also I can already see the show using Jackson's destruction to make Ellie/Tommy

Spoiler

look crazy asf for leaving on a revenge quest when they're needed to repair the community

I think you might have hit on something, good call.

Spoiler

Those of us played who played the game know the final state of Tommy by the end and it won’t hurt to fill in more pieces on how he becomes totally unhinged and revenge driven. They can give hints of his shaken mental state now and not wait till next season.

Abby's actress would get wore tf out, and Bella looks like she'd give some pretty good dome.

I'm going to bed.

That was a WILD comment

Damn, watching episode 2 made me cold as fukk

It looks like they shot in a blizzard for real. You know the actors were freezing their asses off

On inside the episode it shows that they actually did shoot in a blizzard

 

[HiiiPower]

They said this season had a bottle episodes focusing on someone else the same way they did with the gays in season 1….odds it’s gonna be next episode after all that fukkery in this weeks

I know that was meant to be Game of Thrones magnum opus, but this holdout was more comparable to Hardhome for me, even though it didn’t quite match up

Yeah it reminded me of Hardhome too

 

[kdslittlebro]

lol the attack on Jackson was great
My only nitpick was Tommy should have been running around crates for 5 min messing with that bloater

If we coulda played that set piece too bad there wasn’t one game-relevant character available for that

 

[LeftCoast]

the scene with the zombies pushing through the fence was elite wow.

 

[MostReal]

Just watched episode 2

It's still on site with that butch Abby

The pregnant one in the salt lake crew, Mel, was training under him. Since its a game, they can easily write in another character for Part 3 who is a doctor capable of creating a vaccine. They can even have a buddy buddy game where Abby is trying to get Ellie to this doctor and they bond over trauma

not according to the ep 3 preview

 

[HiiiPower]

not according to the ep 3 preview

Cool, I hate when shows do that as a “wind down” from a big ep…I wanna see the aftermath straight away

 

[ChatGPT-5]

Why does Abby look so frail?

That's not the same Abby I used to one-hit dome crush (pause) infected and scars with.

 

[CM_Burns]

the scene with the zombies pushing through the fence was elite wow.

It was intense but it didn't seem like she should've gotten out
