Thinking About Joel Putting His Hand On Sarah's Knee When They're In The Truck :(

thinking about Joel putting his hand on Sarah's knee when they're in the truck :(

Yes!! They foreshadowed his lie about the hospital!

I think it’s to help setup the estrangement- they’re showing how he was always honest and how much she trusted him. Then he took advantage of her trust and lied to her about the thing she cared about the most

yeah! I just never realized that part? I thought it was just when Ellie told him he could've made something up with how the dam worked :)

oh, I can for sure see that! I wouldn't say he only took advantage of her trust, though. I mean, he did, but that wasn't all? as said, they were foreshadowing the lie by her telling him he could make stuff up or even lie to her. so that's what he did. mmmmm, it is mostly him taking advantage of her trust, though. I do not know how to properly articulate this, anon, but it was her trust, along with him finally doing what she's been telling him to do, I feel. they always say third time's the charm. so the first three things he tries to come up with, she tells him he could've lied. so the one thing he could've tried to explain and something that she needed to know the truth on, he takes her up on lying. maybe he just didn't know how to tell her at the time? and then it was just easier to keep it going, which I am sincerely hoping they change for the show cause AAAA no thank you

and yeah! the other things she told him he could lie about didn't really mean a lot to her? like, she grew up in the qz, she's probably seen some shit, so the mass grave? probably didn't affect her that much? like, it did, but not as much as he was probably expecting it to. for the siphon, him making up how it works? that wouldn't affect her at all. like, yeah, she asked, but he didn't necessarily need to lie about it. he could've told her right off the bat that he didn't know how it worked, but she called him out the last time for not making something up. and the dam? he did tell her right off the bat that he didn't know, and then she told him he could just make stuff up. so now, she's caught him three times on lying and not knowing how stuff works, so he might just think it's easier to lie, because she keeps catching him in them. (or he likes doing things in patterns.) but from the past attempts, he should know she'd catch him? and this is a big enough thing that she didn't call him out on it, but she knew immediately that he was lying. like she did all the other times

you ever read a fanfic and just sit back and think…someone wrote something THIS good… and then just….published it on the internet….for free…..

Tendrils are horrifying, I wish they would’ve used them more in the show.

I understand their reasoning behind taking spores out, but it does suck because that brought in its own horrifying elements. The fact that if your mask breaks/ even cracks a small bit you’re screwed.

I also wonder how they’ll do part 2. Dina finding out about Ellie? Will they just have her get bit again? Nora realizing Ellie is immune? Such a cool (and very dark) scene, I’m not sure how they’ll do that

I agree!! they added such a horrific layer to the show, but they didn't show a whole lot of it? hoping they add it more to the next seasons 🤞🏻

yeah! like just breathing it in, you're dead. doesn't matter how much you did or didn't breathe, you're still dead

I completely forgot that's how Nora found out, too, omg. are they just gonna cover our girl in bites? I really hope they don't. I wonder if they'll add spores to the next seasons? or maybe they'll make a different "strand"? like, instead of spores, maybe through water? if an infected died in water, then wham pow, the water's infected. I do not know, I guess we shall find out

part 2 game play time :D

The show expanding on Bill, Frank, Tess, and Joel’s story was so heartbreaking. Within 24 hours Joel looses his partner and then finds out his only 2 friends are dead

LITERALLY!

I remember watching it with my mom and when Joel went out to the front yard with the letter, she just sniffled a little and said that now he has no one. and I think I did put that together, but hearing the agony in my mom's voice? shit broke me more than the realization did, I think. but also that was so close together, too??? like, Tess died, they walked for maybe a day or two (I think??) and then he finds out that Bill and Frank are also dead, and have been for a while? he didn't have the time to properly grieve Tess and now he has to grieve his only two friends? I don't know how he kept going after that
