Ok so The Last Of Us Episode 1 is now out and I'm so excited to talk about it. The first game is my favourite of all time and I've bought the ps3 version, the ps4 remaster and even the ps5 remake that released a couple of months. This is a game I've completed numerous times on grounded mode and the series is something I've been desperate to do a deep dive on.
Throughout this video we're gonna be breaking down the first episode scene by scene and talking about all the easter eggs, hidden details and what they did differently to the game. If you haven't played it then don't worry because we won't be spoiling what happens down the line as I want you to enjoy the twists and turns as much as I did on my first playthrough.
However I may need to touch upon certain things due to characters that get name dropped here but I'll only bring them up in a spoiler section at the end of the video which I'll give you a heads up on.
i'm nice like that
Now unlike the game, the series starts off in 1968. Originally we watched as Sarah woke up in her bed and ventured about the house but here they do it differently. Rather than throwing us in at the night of the outbreak we get some backstory that wasn't even filled in in the source material. The game told us very little about the virus beyond it being cause by Cordyseps which had mutated to infect humans. These real life funghi exist in the jungle and the parasite infects insects and anthropods. Beginning in 1968 though we see a tv show in which two scientists do a big theory time about what the biggest threat to humanity is.
The first one goes off about how we may have a pandemic level event that's caused by a strain of influenza. Both games were made before Covid 19 and the creative team have kinda retroactively added this into the show to comment on it I think. The scientist mentions how airplanes are a new element that will help viruses like this spread easier and later on we see several planes flying overhead as Sarah, Joel and Tommy make their escape.
They add a lot of focus to them during the car scene and actually change up how the crash happens. Originally it was caused by another car hitting them but they do a fake out in the episode and instead have plane debris causing it.

My only gripe with that scene was that the uptight scientist and talkshow host would’ve jeered at the other guy for suggesting “if the planet gets a little warmer.” The prevailing popular theory of the day was that we were about to have another ice age. That was backed by the data showing that our temperatures were trending downwards, with the era of Imperial Rome being generally hotter than our era. And the Bronze Age having heights well above Rome, despite being close to the last Ice Age. Not to mention, everyone in that talkshow studio would’ve had memories of fierce blizzards, and there’s a good chance that the more uptight scientist would be arguing *for* the development of climate-warming processes (if not outright investing in them). It’s a small complaint, but the way everyone in the room just shits their pants was the one part of the episode that showed the age of the writing team. And it showed an adherence to the least sound era of data since the middle ages, because the scientists who are actually collating climate data and building ethically-sound models (the ones who only occasionally do interviews, because they’re not seeking celebrity or ultra-wealthy backers) have something important to point out: The world was hotter during the viking era than it is now. Melting ice is revealing Nordic farms buried in Greenland. The discoveries of this *contradicted* the climate consensus from the 50s-70s, and now goes ignored by *popular, cash-motivated* climatologists of today. All this to say... The guy suggesting “oh, we’re fucked if the world warms up, because fungi,” would’ve been mocked. Then he might’ve quipped about closed-minded peers. The live audience would scratch their heads and laugh it off, especially the well-read.

I noticed that within the television version it looks like they are hinting that the fungus outbreak occurs due to tainted flour. Notice how the neighbor is feeding his elderly mother biscuits and offers some to Joel. Joel tells his neighbor that he is on an Atkins diet. Also notice that while eating breakfast Joel, Sara and Tommy only have bacon and eggs, no toast. Later on Sara visits the neighbor after school, where she's asked her to help in baking cookies. Sara leaves shortly after the cookies were baked, thus didn't eat any. So ya, I think they made that subtle change to the television version which makes it more cool. Now we know the origins on where the infections began.

@jordankuzyanov8512 Жыл бұрын

I saw this is a video elsewhere too. Some other little things that pointed out how they barely missed out on the infection, is they ran out of pancake mix that morning for breakfast. And on top of that they would’ve eaten cake that night for Joel’s birthday had Joel remembered to bring it home

@sebastienbolduc5654 Жыл бұрын

@@jordankuzyanov8512 ah yes, very good observation. Awesome that you caught onto that. Also notice how the neighbor told Joel that he had to bring his mother to the hospital. Apparently she ended up being prescribed antibiotics. Remember at the beginning of the episode you had the scientists back in 68 talking about viral infections. One of them mentions these fungal infections and makes a comparison to penicillin. So maybe there is a correlation between eating the flour that is tainted with the fungus cordyceps and the penicillin. Maybe the penicillin triggers/feeds the cordyceps. it would only take a dozen people infected with the fungus, while on penicillin, to begin the domino effect. It's a simple concept but I love how they added that into the show and franchise as a whole.

Less is more. Its like a comic book movie adaptation for Superman, Spiderman, Batman, etc. We know Uncle Ben died, we know the Waynes got mugged, we know you're from Krypton. Heard the story a million times already, just get to the point in your "new retelling" of the iconic character. Its a zombie apocalypse. We get it. Less is more so that you can actually go over things the audience needs to know within the time you have to tell a story. We really dont need a 10 minute recap of what we already know as an audience. Thats why they did what they did in some parts and, frankly, its the right call.

The Adlers grandmother wasn’t infected because she went to the hospital (future show spoilers ahead); Joel mentions to Ellie that the early infection spread through tainted yeast [edit: flour, not yeast]. The Adlers were feeding the grandmother bread/biscuits earlier in the episode, and even offered it to Sarah.

@ICU1337 Жыл бұрын

Makes sense! Far more sense than the hospital angle. That didnt add up for me. But then it also adds a new wrinkle with how did the fungus spread and so quickly, all at once. Like we hear about it happening in Jakarta. Then we see the arabic shopkeepers in on the event. And we see Sarahs classmate with the jitters. Not sure there really is a plausible explanation for how it could actually spread globally, all at the same time, everywhere at once though.

I think in this series, they're saying it's grain/wheat rather than yeast; they mentioned ergot in the beginning, which has roots in a theory that the Salem with trials were fueled by paranoid delusions/hallucinations caused by ergot tainted grain. Also, the only other person we visually see expressing symptoms is a young boy wearing a medical alert bracelet. What does he and the grandma have in common? They might both have weakened immune systems which opens them up go infection (especially fungus infections which are much less common in healthy individuals). The only explanation for Jakarta I can think of is either a) because that's where cordyceps millitaris (the specific fungus that infects the ants and insects) is native to or b) they had the tainted grain first/shipped it out (I'll be honest, I know more about medicine and mycology than I do Indonesia and their farming practices)

Theorytime: sarah was infected all along due to her frequent visits to her neighbors and exposure to the old lady but it manifested sooner in the old woman due to her feebleness. Also when trying to make sense of how her neighbors became infected, you can see sarah tremble when she ponders how frequently they possibly had to visit the hospital in order to catch it. This is reflected later in the episode when just after joel brutaly murders the gaurd arresting them and they find out ellie is already infected. For a split second before she reveals she is immune, he realizes no matter what he couldnt have saved her. Hinting the same fate was true for sarah.

The sickness was spread through flour, in the beginning they was eating biscuits, asked Sarah, asked Sarah and Joel if they wanted any, also when tommy came in for breakfast he said he thought they was having pancakes, also Joel was unable to get a birthday cake, all of them all avoided it by not eating flour products. Even Sarah did again by not eating the raisin cookies the neighbors was making. So that’s how the alders got it by eating the biscuits made of flour and again the cookies.

I really enjoyed this first episode. Felt faster on second viewing. Great cast imo, Pedro seems to fit the role really well. I hope it continues like this. I really like how it begins with Sarah waking upin bed to beautiful sunshine, which mirrors her next time (and her last time) waking up and the world is on fire and everyone is fucked. So well done that first 35. Also, the old lady is already changing when Sarah is in the house. You see her in the background with a wide open mouth and the dog is sitting in front of her definitely noticing she's not right/the same (I see others noticed this as well) Listening to this, the only thing I think I found somewhat odd is Joel not holding onto the wrench after dropping the old lady. Ofc he wouldn't know the full scope of things at that point, but he did know things were very bad and that people can attack etc. I hope the rest will be just as good and they greenlight another asap so they can begin doing it.

As this is song released in the 80s, Joel and Ellie probably will encounter some problems in the following epsiodes.
