# Episode 1 I LOVED the opening scene. From 1968, some old white dude explaining about the fungi that takes control of ants. I've actually heard of them on a podcast and they're mad freaky. Then he explains how it could potentially happen to humans. What a great setup for the series. I love how they explain the science behind the show to make the setup actually plausible instead of it being like magic. I wonder if the game is like this. I love the little girl already. Yay black people! Even though she's light skin. We start in 2003, we're seeing normal everyday american life. Until SUDDENLY!... something weird lol who knows. Zombie shit. Uh oh, it's happening. Girl was at a pawn shop and there was cops and shit, then a lady speaking arabic came out and was like WE'RE CLOSING! Oh the granny is definitely gonna turn into a zombie first. Oh she's already doing something weird. shit.... Oh gross. The dog's looking at her. Ohh, damn the girl is leaving. Now we'll never see it happen. Jets in the sky, military response. Lol of course the news is trying to blame it on drugs. Oh at some point we saw that he has a military veteran sticker on his truck. Shit, he's gotta go bail someone out from Jail. Someone named Tommy, Idk if it's the uncle that came by earlier. 2:16 AM SHIT IS GOING DOWN! Helicopters and booming sounds. This is 2003 before iPhones. BITCH THE NEWS JUST SAID STAY INDOORS! Don't be a white person in a horror movie. MERCY THE DOG IS AFRAID! Front door wide open. She bout to get herself killed. Or exposed. IS the dog gonna save her? Blood. Bitch, GET THE FUCK OUT! Oh, it's the man. He's been bit. The grandma is eating her. HAIR?? oh that's gross. Lol they're blaming the city. Oh wow this escape sequence went pretty bad. A plane crashed in front of them that was fucking crazy. Oh my god this is terrifying. Oh they're really dumb too. Oh damn the soldier shot him! They're under orders to kill everyone!! Ok Tommy saved him. Shot the soldier. Fuck Sarah was shot. aww. Tommy wants to leave her. Damn. Woah is she gonna die for real? TWENTY YEARS LATER!!! WHAT! There's still helicopters. Boston, 2023. Looks pretty awful. Everything's mad decrepit. Looks like Boston is a stronghold, quarantine zone. Ohh wow they're saying it's CORDYCEPS! Lol, that's crazy. Ohh and some rules. Time to full infection. If you get bit in the neck, face, or head, it's about 5-15 minutes. Torso, arm, shoulder, hand, 2-8 hours. Leg or foot, 12-24 hours. That's interesting. It must be using a different pathway to the brain rather than the bloodstream if it takes that long the further away from the brain it is. Early symptoms include Couging, Slurred speech, Muscle Spasims, and mood Changes. You have to burn the bodies to destroy the infection. Everyone's wearing bandanas as masks. Oh shit, we found the man. He's helping burn bodies. What's apocalyptic life like here? Looks like it's military or maybe militia run. People are barely hanging on. Omg they're doing public hangings too! Oh, resources are that slim. You fuck up you die, there's not enough food to waste on a fuck up like you. Oh he's selling drugs. Lol, he needs the bag back. They say the good drugs are from atlanta. I guess nobody is manufacturing new zip loc bags. There's no industry, just people holding on. I've seen this white guy before, but not sure where. He has a basic ass face. OMG!! IT'S THE GIRL FROM FRINGE!! I'm not sure what's happening in this scene. Starting over. He ripped her off, he's apologizing. She's beat up. Beat up by his guys apparently? I still don't understand. whatever. AND EXPLOSION! Why is Boston a War Zone? What are they fighting over? Some resistance group called Fireflys. Fringe girl got taken down / arrested for supposedly being one of them. There's some young girl named Veronica that looks like Greta Thunberg. She's allied with FEDRA, the military force? Maybe the daughter of an important military figure. So this must be firefly holding her. Oh it's some kind of psychic grifter? Or radio operator He's looking for Tommy. Ohh, he's a communicator. He has a radio. Ok, he's going on a mission to find him. To Wyoming, from Boston. Oh that's why he was tryna hire a truck and those militia guys? The one he sold pills to. I wonder if girl actually died. He's digging through a secret hole. Reading maps, planning his trip. He does drugs too, because why not? The world has truly gone to shit. Some girl just came in and slept in his bed. Now it sounds like she's making breakfast, who is this white woman? Oh it's fringe girl. I wonder when he and Tommy got separated. And what Tommy's distress call was. Oh, theres and older black lady that has hair like Sarah... Is it her? Is she the leader?! No, her name is Marlee. Marlee is the leader of Fire Fly. They're gonna leave the QZ. Lol there are recruiters for a cult. "Look for the light" Her name is Ellie. So I guess Sarah really did die. Who's Riley? What does Marlee know about Ellie? She told her something but didn't tell us. NEW SCENE! They're in the subway, traveling to some part of town. Omg, the virus overgrows on the person. Pretty gross, but col to look at. Oh damn, they're all dead. They found the battery. Oh, it was the person that they sold the battery to lol. Marlene? She just made him a deal. Bring Ellie to an outpost Ohh the secret. I wonder what's special about Ellie. Mandatory curfew to fight infection and insurrection. Ok, side quest accepted. Stealth mission. Oh shit, they got caught. Oh damn he was triggered! Protect Ellie, you couldn't savo your daugher but you can save her! Okay so the secret is that Ellie has been bitten, but she's not infected. She has the antibody. # Episode 2 Omg Nonwhite people! Is this in. Okay Indonesia. I can't tell what time period this is. Is this before or after the outbreak? It's still military rule but everything looks much more put together. Cars are properly running and shit. Okay this was definitely before the outbreak. They have the first specimen here? Do we get to see patient zero? It's a woman. Is she gonna get attacked? The bite was confirmed to be from onother human. She's pulling something out of her mouth. The fungi. That was pretty gross, it was still moving. So, they have it up in a lab. 30 hours ago? At a grain factory. Okay seems like they were abrle to contain the outbreak? Oh, definitely not. They don't know everyone who has been bit. Fourteen people out there, they may They need a vaccine or medicine. THERE IS NO MEDICINE! THERE IS NO VACCINE! SHE SAID BOMB!! START BOMBING! BOMB THE CITY!! AND EVERYONE IN IT! She said it seriously, but she's just trying to make the point that this can't be contained. She 100% knows what's about to happen. She KNOWS everybody's gonna die. She's the scientist so of course she'd know the gravity of the situation immediately. -- They think she's infected. Because she tested positive. Fringe girl is named Tess. Man, this city looks fucked up. The quest continues! They bombed the cities to slow down the spread lol. They were killing people on purpose. LOUD YELL IN THE BACKGROUND! A moment of calm then a reminder of the threat that looms above all! Oh, this is the hotel. It's gross. They walked up 10 fligts, they were trying to scout the area. Fringe girl is gonna get cought. Break a leg or something. This looks mad dangerous. Ellie is funny. She's really bold. Omg there's a shit ton of them! Oh, and they're a hive mind, like real fungi.. What's in the Museum? Omg, the fungus is all over it. Omg, traveling is so trecherous. There's literally zombies everywhere. This is tense. This show really does feel like it was made from a video game, but it's really cool. I have no desire to play this game at all. Making the zombies from a fungus is a great idea tho. The pathway was sealed off! lol. Nowhere to go but forward. There's one in the room with them. They must fight. Nowhere to run. There it is! Another one?? Yes, many. they can't see but they can hear. Damn, they fucked up. He's reloading a six shooter? It's gonna be right next to you. This is so tense. GOT damn, that was freaky af. Absolutely don't wanna pay this game. Newer. They're taping up her ankle. Ellie got bit again. But she's probably resistant. This is a really rough reality. This is definitely better than the walking dead. He's watching her, making sure she doesn't turn. -- Oh, they reached the base. They're all dead. Someone got bit. Wasn't military. Ohh, damn Tess is infected. Bit in the NECK! There's gfungi in the ground. They're being reanimated. OMG! Swarm incoming. She's already dead. Main guy's name is Joel. OMG TESS MADE OUT WITH A ZOMBIE THAT WAS SO DISGO!! Damn, bye Tess. Now it's a solo escort mission. That was terrifying. # Episode 3 10 miles west of boston. Joel slick blames Ellie for Tess dying. She really wants a gun. She killed one that was stuck in a wall. It was pretty gross. Blame the carbs for the pandemic! It spread through the food supply. -- 2003, flashback. Not sure how long after the infections started. RON SWANSON! He's a prepper in this show. He was way too ready for this apocalypse. -- Four years later. 2007 One of his alarms went off. Prepper guy made a friend! Is he gonna attack him? I met ron Swanson was really playing that piano. GAYY! He's a sex worker. He's offering sex so he can stay a few more days. HOBOSEXUAL -- THREE YEARS LATER! Lol fronk invited Joel and tess to the -- Three more years later, 2013. They're being attacked! Damn, Ron Swanson died. -- 10 Years later! 2023 Frank has like ALS or something. He can't control his body, and he's deciding to kill himself. Ron swanson is very sad. They love each other, truly. They've had a great life n Oh damn, a double suicide. What's an apocalypse without someone to share it with. That was a great episode. # Episode 4 Aiight leh do it. How does a siphon work? She has a joke book, apparently it's from the game. Hank Williams song on the cassette. - Alone. Sounds really old-timey. They're setting up camp. 20 year old chef boyardee lol. Why is Tommy separated from Joel currently? He joined the army out of high school, he wants to save the world. He met Marlene and joined the Fireflys. Then quit them. This is so trecherous. There's some old white guy being interrogated by that cute white lady from togetherness, and I think... Yellowjackets? Her name's Kathleen, and she's looking for some nigga named Henry. Because he ratted to FEDRA and got him killed. Whoever this milita is, they're looking for Joel and Ellie. The militia found an attic. Possibly where Henry is? Hmm, Henry seems to be a kid. The room has drawings in it. Sam is the kid they're looking for. Or that Kathleen is. They're going down into a basement. Oh fuck they found a caved in underground network. Mycellium. They chose to NOT say anything. They gonna end up calling a whole horde to this area by the end of the episode. They found a spot in the hotel to sleep. # Episode 5 I didn't take notes on this as I was watching it lol. # Episode 6 3 months after Sam died. The old lady is hilarious. The old couple was like, don't go past west of the river! Joel thinks Tommy is there. They've made it to the Dam. Uh oh, whats the dog infected smeller gonna do to Ellie?? Lol totally fine. The commune is Communism! lol. It's beautiful. Joel is telling Tommy everything. He's been having panic attacks. Joel is feeling the pain of being old, aging. He's slower. He dreams about his daughter. He doesn't believe that he is capable of taking Ellie to the fireflies. Joel is trying to get Tommy to take her, but he has a kid on his way. I didn't think he'd say yes but he did.. Something's gonna happen. Ellie threw Joel's Daughter, Sarah, in his face. He's leaving her. Tommy is taking her, wow. I feel like something bad's gonna happen. LOL Ellie chose Joel immediately. Tommy's not taking her. Joel is teaching Ellie how to hunt. Damn, Joel got stabbed in the STOMACH by a broken bat. Looks like Ellie is gonna be in charge in the next episodes. # Episode 7 I watched it but I didn't take notes during. Not a lot happened it was just a great flashback story for Ellie. # Episode 8 We open on some white people reading the bible, praying or some shit. Ellie shot a deer, found the cult. They're having a chat while one of them gets medicine. Those were the guys that hit joel with the bat. They know who they are. Probably gonna follow Ellie. Damn he slapped the FUCK outta that lil girl. Joel was knocked out but still stabbed that nigga in the neck. Fucked around and found out! Damn Ellie fucked that nigga up! Chopped him up with a butcher knife. # Episode 9 - The Finale! The last of the last of the last of us. It's the girl from Blindspot! Damn, this is the worst time to be pregnant. That was the fastest childbirth I've ever seen. Ohh, shit this is ellie's mom. That's how she became immune. Because her mom got bit right before she was born. Is this where they were holding ellie? It's firefly. Ohh, they found ellie's mom. Did the firefly lady know that Ellie was immune beforehand? Marlene, that's her name. Damn she shot the FUCK out that bitch. She's got a scar on her eyebrow. She's battle worn now. She can handle her shit. And Joel trusts her! She saved his life, he owes her. He wants to teach her guitar. They're continuing their adventure on foot. They lost the horse GRUESOMELY last episode lol. Lol damn that giraffe was pretty cool. There's so many of them! Joe gives Ellie the option to quit before they get too far. Ellie was like, "this couldn't have been for nothing!" They found the hospital. Oh, joe just admitted that he was suicidal after his daughter died. He was the guy who shot and missed. Joe was just very vulnerable with Ellie. He was hoping she'd also open up but she didn't, and she wasn't particularly empathetic either. She's not ready to process with him what happened. They got hit with a flashbang..... They took Ellie and knocked out Joel. Their quest is very dangerous. It's Marlene!! Ohh, shit they're gonna kill ellie. The quest was for naught!! Joel isn't gonna let them kill ellie. But Marlene feels like she has to do it for the sake of humanity. Security is escorting him out. He's gonna fight them right? Joel is such a badass. He's gonna kill everyone here before he lets them kill Ellie. God damn he RAMBO'd them niggas. Apparently there's a long hallway in the game. This man brought a scalpel to a gunfight. Marlene's tryna negotiate with Joel over the life of a child. Don't know why Joel is lying to ellie. ... Because he loves her. Parents feel like it's okay to lie to children to protect them.
