Just watched the first episode- really liked it; very tense.
btw, there’s a nickname going around for "The Last of Us" - "The Fungalorian"…

Re: The Last of Us
Yep, just finished watching it, just the two of them now.
I guess those that follow the game knew that, I wasnt expecting it.
I didnt know that the "infected" were [clearly] totally blind as well.
I did wonder why she kep fiddling with a lighter, with all those granades available.
I am surprised how much they're leaning into the game itself, it's not 'inspired' by the game it is a proper adaptation of it. There was dialogue in it which was lifted directly from the game, the set design of both the Museum and the Capitol building at the end there were closely matching the level design of the game and there were a number of camera shots which were lifted directly from the game as well. The overall progression of the episode also mostly mirrors the game so far. They have changed a few things but I won't go into those due to spoilers.

Yup. Happens at the same moment in the game as it did there although it's soldiers and not the infected in the game that storm in.

Only those ones. The other infected (and some more to come) can see.
The lore from the game is that there are stages of infection. The normal ones are recently turned and retain hearing and sight. If the progression of the infection doesn't kill them they turn into clickers where the eyesight goes and is compensated by hearing.
It’s good, enjoying it. Nothing really groundbreaking. Man has lost his daughter, now gains a surrogate daughter that could save humanity, has to get her across America where they will face a litany of horrors far worse than the ever present threat of the zombie hoard.
They’ll grow to love each other.
The thing is, two episodes in, I loved the walking dead. But that went on for 11 years and I stopped watching after 7 or 8.
So hopefully they’ll keep this series tight, concise and full of action, I also hope they keep revisiting the outbreak origins.
