[Bruce]

For those of you that have HBO Max according to Cord Cutters.com this show will be shown on Fridays instead of Sundays. HBO Max Will Air The Last of Us Episode 5 Earlier on Friday | Cord Cutters News

Just this Friday, because of the Super Bowl on Sunday.

Episode 3 DAMN! I expect there will be Emmy nominations there. Really enjoying this show.

Episode 5 was another excellent episode. The show is keeping me guessing.

Just 4 more.

Agree. Ep 5 was great. I won't post spoilers, but a lot of ups and downs in this one. What an end...

They said next episode 9 will be the end of the season. Talk bout a short season. So two more shows.

Correct, 9 total episodes, but this past week was just episode 6 so there are three more to go. Also, remember there have been some long run times for some of these episodes (ep 1 was 81 mins, ep 3 was 76 mins). Total season run time is 524 mins. So if it was a 10 episode "normal season" that would be an average of 52.4 mins. I think that is one of the best things about HBO, they don't require their show runners to fit within a specified time window per episode. They let them tell the story with breaks that make sense.

Didn't see it live. Actually didn't see it in the still until it was the zoom in. Shocked it doesn't happen more. This wasn't nearly as bad as the GOT coffee cup!

Episode 7 was probably my least favorite so far. 2 episodes to go...

 

[MikeD-C05]

I am getting the feeling that this tv show will slow walk the story to keep it on the air like Walking Dead did. After a while I always lose interest if it stays mired in the story with no real pay off.

 

[lakebum431]

No, they have said that this season fully covers the first game so I don't think we have any concerns about that. The second season however could be all or part of the second game. Who knows. Again, I haven't played either, but I hear that there is enough material in the second game that it could easily span two seasons because it is much longer than the first game. But I think we are looking at total of no more than 3 total seasons.

Watched Season 1 finale last night and we really enjoyed it. Very much looking forward to season 2

Yes it was excellent...and surprising!

 

[lakebum431]

Anyone watching Season 2 yet? First two episodes were excellent. Although the big twist at the end of Ep 2 has my wife very pissed.

Has me reluctant to start subbing to Max again. I'll wait until after next week's. Audience has not been kind (Rotten Tomatoes).

 

[meStevo]

Yeah, I had no idea that was coming. Season 2 was already not as compelling, we'll see where this season ends up going.

It was in the game, plus the fact that Season 2 and The Fantastic Four was filming at the same time, so I knew it would happen pretty early in the season.

I read he filmed a few more scenes, flashbacks, so he will be in another episode or 2 probably.

 

[meStevo]

Bruce I'd probably spoiler that. Though I suspect avoiding that spoiler will be like trying to avoid spoilers about Ned Stark or the Red Wedding.
