The Last of Us: Hey look, I know you’ve had a tough time, so we promise the next season is going to be Joel and Ellie finding a therapist and working out all their issues, both individually and as a pair. Then they play Boggle. Us: Then why are people on Twitter talking about how … Continue reading The Last of Us “Look For the Light” Photo-Recap: Stick a Needle in your Eye
So do we just mail Bella Ramsey all the awards? Do they have a P.O. box big enough? Emmy, People’s Choice, Spelling Bee, whatever, they get them ALL. Of course I loved them as wee Mormont, and I’ve been enjoying them as Ellie, but this episode launched them into my heart as one of my … Continue reading The Last of Us “When We Are in Need” Photo-Recap: The Original Slap-Chop
I know. It’s my fault for getting attached. I knew Ellie was bitten at the mall, I knew she wasn’t accompanied by a spunky teen girlfriend while chained up in an attic in episode one, and I knew the mandate of this show is to rip my very soul out of my body and use … Continue reading The Last of Us “Left Behind” Photo-Recap: Mallrats
Hello and welcome back to The Last of Us, a show that can have you riveted by just two people walking. A show that can make you cry over the idea of a sheep ranch. A show that’s so interesting it takes you until the episode is almost over to go, “Hey, that’s Tara from … Continue reading The Last of Us “Kin” Photo-Recap: River of Communism
You guys, big news: HBO is changing the title of The Last of Us because they don’t feel the original title gives enough information about what the show is really about. And in weirder news they've asked ME to come up with a new one. I have a few drafts: Don’t Get Attached And Pee … Continue reading The Last of Us “Endure and Survive” Photo-Recap: Bonjour and Goodbye
I would like to thank the writers of The Last of Us for writing an episode specifically for me. I’m very touched they would go to all the trouble of researching puns and finding the perfect moments to insert said puns into the story. I truly feel seen. That being said, that’s… my job? So … Continue reading The Last of Us “Please Hold to My Hand” Photo-Recap: It’s a Murderous Day in the Neighbourhood
I would like to lodge a complaint. At no point did anyone, and I mean ANYONE warn me in ANY WAY that this wrecking ball of a bearded, sweaty, adorable, grumpy/sunshine dynamic was going to smash into my heart and DESTROY ME BODY AND SOUL. As a middle class white woman, it is my birthright … Continue reading The Last of Us “Long, Long Time” Photo-Recap: The Brunch Bunch
And then there were two: a spunky teen and a curmudgeon with a traumatic past who absolutely will not, will NOT invest emotionally in her well-being. I’d seen the promotional pictures, I knew the show’s focus was Joel and Ellie. I knew somewhere along the line, we’d lose Tess. I just figured we’d get a … Continue reading The Last of Us “Infected” Photo-Recap: Night At The Museum
Exterior of a house, inside we hear screams. A woman bursts out the front door, tripping and landing with a skidding thud onto the grass. She turns, her hands raised in terror as a man stumbles out of the house. He looks, for lack of a better word, like a freaking zombie. He slowly trudges … Continue reading The Last of Us ‘When You’re Lost in the Darkness’ Photo-Recap: Won’t You Take Me To Fungi Town
