  1. Joel already considers Ellie as part of his family without realizing it. He said to Ellie that she should dream of sheeps on the moon. So he already connects their two dreams. And also in Jackson at dinner, he wants a conversation only with the family. So Maria is supposed to go, but Ellie is allowed to stay seated.

  2. You have to remember that Cordyceps and all the other kinds of horrorfungus that exist are specifically tailored to one species. One kind of ant, one kind of cricket, one kind of mammal.

    So no infected amnimuls.

  3. I liked this show for the most part; I really did. But the casting took away A LOT of interest for me. I'd have enjoyed it SO MUCH more if the casting had just been better. I actually found myself skipping roughly 90% of all Ellie's scenes. I don't think Bella Ramsey is right for this role in any way and there are most certainly better actress choices.

  4. Family is traveling half way across the country, mostly on foot braving every manner of tragedy only to have a tearful reunion one moment and then the next movement leave things on a "Well yeah, fuck you too!"

  5. Maria is apprehensive about Joel. I think Maria knows that Tommy is a "follower " (which Joel also said of him) so much so that Tommy has previously followed Joel in murdering innocent people to rob them. And think about how: someone pretended to be injured and asking for help…so the innocent people he (and Tess and Tommy) killed are the sort of people who would stop to help an injured stranger in the apocalypse. They were not only innocent victims, they were likely kind and innocent victims. Maria was an ADA who used to put murderers in jail. Tommy at least feels remorse and still has nightmares, but Joel doesn't seem to be bothered by what they did (he still justifies it, saying it had to be down). If you are Maria, Joel is the "wrong sort of person" to find out about Jackson, because he has killed for less than what they have. He could betray them all…or he could just lead Tommy away and into that life again. FEDRA might even pay Joel a bounty to learn the location of an outpost of free people living as communists with extensive resources and power…and Joel could easily justify betraying them if it helps him survive. That is who he is.

  6. The reason Joel lied to Tommy in the bar is because he didnt trust him anymore. Tommy stopped contact with him and chose Maria and the settlement over him, and this realization cause him to close himself off towards his brother.

  7. The monkeys were not baboons, but macaques. There are quite many different species, mostly in Asia (even as far as the most Northern big Japanese isle Hokkaido; the Japanese Macaque) . For research usually the rhesus macaque are used, because they are relatively easy to keep. Baboons would be to dangerous.
    All the best from the Netherlands!

  8. All Maria knows about Joel is what she has heard from Tommy. Tommy left Boston (and Joel) because of the constant violence. Before getting to Boston, Joel and Tommy fell in with a group that did the same kind of things the raiders Joel and Ellie have dealt with do. So Maria's opinion of Joel is initially not great, and she is very guarded.

  9. I saw one reaction to this where they started crying as soon as they saw Tommy. "They keep introducing characters and then they kill them. I cant watch Joel lose his brother too!"

  10. Take this with a whole ton of salt because I've had a few drinks, but I really don't like putting Arianna and Maple together.

    If either of them have someone to talk to, and question things with, they just ask questions WHILE CHARACTERS ARE PERFORMING THE DIALOGUE, and then both of them don't know what's going on because they weren't listening or paying attention. They both just loudly ask questions that WILL BE ANSWERED IF THEY JUST STOP TALKING AND WATCH THE SHOW.

    I like Arianna and Maple separately, but when they're together they just forget how narratives work.

  11. "WHY AM I ABOUT TO CRY?!"

    Because you're capable of emotions. You're a prominent figure on a reaction channel. If you weren't about to cry, you wouldn't be good for business.
