Spoiler follow Our last one Season 2, Episode 1
The heart of all things Our last onewhether it is the game or the first season of HBO adaptation, it is the relationship between Joel and Ellie. Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey came to life in extraordinary ways in season one. The couple’s chemistry is an undeniable high point for the show. So they were a little shocked to share only a few minutes of screen time in the season 2 premiere of “The Future Days” and their time together is nervous At least say it.
However, it all comes close to the end of the episode. The show is a bit backed up, restores where we left, Ellie’s lies to Joel, what happened to the season one finale. That episode allowed him to eliminate Fireflies to save the immune Ellie. Fireflies hope to heal the Cordyceps infection that ruins the world, but will kill her in the process. “Okay” means she’s accepting his story, even if she doesn’t believe it very much. Fast forward five years and things are tense – so nervous that our strong Joel is getting treatment.
We had a conference with Joel’s therapist Gail, played by Catherine O’Hara. Ever since Gail revealed in an early trailer that she and Joel both have one, I’ve been looking forward to how to use her sky When they get together. Joel’s relationship with Ellie was clearly what prompted him to meet Gail, the distance he was in love – she barely talked to, she was frustrated, stupid and acted, and Gail didn’t impress him. She noted that Ellie’s behavior was like other 19-year-olds doing to her father, and it was obvious that there was a lot to do between them.
Gail then opens to Joel to make him tell the truth (and because she had a few drinks), and a little bomb dropped in the process: Joel shoots her husband Eugene (from her husband Eugene ( Our final second part people we never met in the game). She said she knew he had to do it – meaning what Eugene was infected, but couldn’t forgive him in the way she found it, and couldn’t help but hate what he did for him. Not something you usually hear from a therapist, but that’s it Our last one For you. Then she made Joel admit in tears that he did something To Ellie, but when she asks if he hurts her, he answers that he saves her and then takes hell out of her house. Season 1 shows Joel’s more vulnerable person than his game, and this change has benefited him a lot, given the drama and depth of the show, I’m glad that season 2 emphasizes that this approach is very conventional for the post-excitement post-world.
We also use a conversation with Joel, through Dina’s cues through the discord between Joel and Ellie. The two of them get along well. Joel even called her a “child” showing a daddy affection for Dina who usually resembles Ellie. After the chat, she asked him to get a blank, why Ellie was angry with him, he had more changes in the differences between the two, and they figured out that they kept secrets in the therapy sessions that asked Dina to have – what his therapy was when he was dealing with her nose in everything he was talking about.
But, in this heavy plot, the most critical scene is the New Year’s Eve party, where Dina and Ellie share a dance, share a kiss and are shouted by the drunk town bigot. Just as Ellie was about to treat him like a clicker, Joel pleaded, pushing Seth to the ground and asking her if she was okay, which made his appearance and Ellie’s verbal expression and verbal smack be, after which he slipped away in an absolutely no discount.
The situation between the two is absolutely uncomfortable, and while it is a fascinating story, it is hard to disappoint for Pascal and Ramsey. It’s a perfectly reasonable story to make them conflicted, and even if she’s a normal 19-year-old, they’ll face challenges. But the loss of their connection and the lack of interaction between the two softens the mood, which plot writer/director and performance host Craig Mazin certainly intends and will be exploited throughout the season.
Majin also pays homage to the game in some adorable ways in this episode, especially at the town party scene. From the beginning of season one, I hoped that I could see almost more scenes in the game on the show, and from the beginning of episode one of the series, my expectations have been largely contrary to the point. It’s obvious that the show’s goal is not to reproduce all the iconic scenes of the game, but to expand it on it while still choosing the right moment to deploy some homage to the original material. The party scene is a perfect example, starting with Ellie’s back shot as she looks at the joy in front of her. What follows is almost the same as the key game scenes in the dialogue, setup design and framework. What yes The timing is different, though – we immediately stand out from the bat, not the ones found in the story.
Similarly, the content of this episode other The most important scenario happens at the beginning. After a quick flashback, we immediately introduced it to Abby, one of the playable characters in the second game. We learned that she and her friends are survivors of the Joel Firefly Holocaust in Utah Hospital, and Abby is especially keen on revenge. Mazin and co-demonstrator Neil Druckmann have discussed how they want to introduce Abby and introduce her motivations faster on the show, mainly because the players have developed a relationship with her through gameplay. However, in this case, we already know that Abby is a follower of Joel, and the episode ends with her crew arriving at Jackson. Although “The Days of the Future” is more focused on the scene than the action (except for some very nervous scenes of Ellie and Dina about some infected people), the situation will obviously be in a strait next week, not just with Abby, as the show also laughs at a major infection threat. Let’s prepare those Burners for next Sunday.
Infection score: 6/10
One of the main complaints from video game fans during the first season was the relative lack of infection. The performers say they have changed things in season 2 – let’s see if they stick to their words.
The first episode is mainly an expo plot without any action, but we do see Ellie and Dina secretly knocking down a pair of clickers. But the most exciting thing is seeing the stalker in action for the first time on the show. Ellie completely fooled her and even gave her another bite that had to avoid Dina. Hopefully we’ll see more of these creepers as the season progresses. And, of course, the threat of tendrils lurking on the pipes in Central Jackson will soon be a bigger problem, but we haven’t. I’ll give 6 of the 6 episodes of this episode – not that much action, but The Stalker Reveal is strong enough to improve the rating of this episode.
