Also Something That Doesn't Make Sense To Me Is In Ep6, Joel Goes To Put The Rifle Back On Callus When

also something that doesn't make sense to me is in ep6, Joel goes to put the rifle back on Callus when there's danger? he was holding it all throughout the college campus, but once there was danger, he went to put it away? and then he got stabbed. why did he put it away?

What are your thoughts about them replacing spores with the tendrils?

tbh I never realized the tendrils replaced the spores, anon

but that being said, I am a bit bummed there were no spores? it's not a hindrance to the show since I just realized after x amount of rewatches, but I think that could've added a nice layer to it, you know? like having to make sure everyone has gas masks? and shit, if one breaks? I do enjoy the tendrils, though! the horror of them all being connected??? I am SO glad that's not in the game

I wonder how they're gonna show that Ellie's immune to Dina? her mask broke, but masks aren't in the show. are they just gonna keep giving her bite marks??

The show expanding on Bill, Frank, Tess, and Joel’s story was so heartbreaking. Within 24 hours Joel looses his partner and then finds out his only 2 friends are dead

LITERALLY!

I remember watching it with my mom and when Joel went out to the front yard with the letter, she just sniffled a little and said that now he has no one. and I think I did put that together, but hearing the agony in my mom's voice? shit broke me more than the realization did, I think. but also that was so close together, too??? like, Tess died, they walked for maybe a day or two (I think??) and then he finds out that Bill and Frank are also dead, and have been for a while? he didn't have the time to properly grieve Tess and now he has to grieve his only two friends? I don't know how he kept going after that

part 2 game play time :D

we already have one 🤭

I do believe the beginning is Joel confiding in Tommy about Ellie already drifting? it could be just him telling Tommy what happened, but I think there's more to it. he has the guitar and he's cleaning it a little bit and then he gets back to Jackson, and Ellie's already moved out. she's already in the garage, so that had to have been right off the bat. this also means that the whole time she's being taught how to play, she's not even in the main house 😭 which gives her more time and chances to ignore him and resent him. and also gives her more time to think about what him saving her really means D: I'm normal

you know, even in the beginning, Ellie told Joel he could make stuff up. in episode 3, before it cuts to Bill and Frank, Joel said that they should cut through the woods because there was some stuff he didn't want Ellie to see. she responded with "you're too honest, man. you should've said axe murderer," so with the addition of "you could've made something up, I would've believed you" about the dam? Joel was really just doing what she told him to when he lied about what happened at the hospital :(
