Episode 7 of The Last of Us is called “Left Behind,” named after the game’s DLC. Image: HBOOne of the most exciting propositions about this first season of HBO’s The Last of Us was that, at some point, it was going to incorporate a second piece of Last of Us lore: the 2014 add-on to the game called The Last of Us: Left Behind. Released a year after the original game, the downloadable content clued players into more of Ellie’s past and sexuality, and revealed exactly how she got the bite that changed everything. Well, with…

The Last of Us episode 7 trailer is here.

Appropriately titled ‘Left Behind,' the new episode is directed by Liza Johnson (Silicon Valley) and chronicles the three weeks leading up to Ellie's introduction in the show. This new arc reportedly clocks in at 56 minutes only. The 2014-released The Last of Us: Left Behind…

Joel and Ellie reach a crossroads in the latest Last of Us.Image: HBODown the road, if The Last of Us is lucky enough to get any acting award nominations, clips from this episode will explain why. The sixth episode of The Last of Us, titled “Kin,” saw Joel and Ellie’s trek across the United States reach a crossroads. The pair were forced to deal with things they’ve been hiding and make choices they’ve been avoiding, all in an attempt to finally get to someone who can help them. It wasn’t an episode with a lot of action,…

Image: HBOBella Ramsey—who identifies as non-binary and uses all pronouns—is entirely unsympathetic to the plight of the homophobe who wants their media to remain as straight as an arrow. The third episode of The Last of Us, which many critics praised for its storytelling and the post-apocalyptic queer romance at the center of the plot, was review-bombed on aggregate social sites like Metacritic and Rotten Tomatoes.For anyone who doesn’t know, review bombing is when people rate a piece of media exceptionally low or high…

Ever since he showed up as Oberyn Martell in Game of Thrones, Pedro Pascal’s rise to stardom has been pretty fun to see, because he’s just good in basically everything he’s in, even if that thing itself is a hot mess. And as the star of both The Mandalorian and HBO’s new prestige hit The Last of Us, it’s clear that folks wanna see Pedro Pascal be a gruff gunslinging mentor, which makes Saturday Night Live’s newest skit kind of perfect.Pascal hosted last night’s episode, and one of the skits had him play Mario in a…

Nick Offerman’s BIll gets a substantial expansion on The Last Of Us.Image: HBOA few weeks ago, as I was watching screeners for HBO’s new show, The Last Of Us, I immediately thought about this moment. Today. Right now. You reading this. The day after everyone else could see what I just witnessed. I’d just watched episode three of The Last Of Us, called “Long, Long Time” and was stunned. That such a beautiful, unique, and unexpected episode of television was sandwiched in the middle of this PlayStation video game adaptation…

The Last of Us episode 4 trailer is out.

Nick Offerman’s Bill was at the center of “Long, Long Time.”Image: HBOWe realize it’s only January, but if 2023 gives us a better episode of television than episode three of The Last of Us, we’ll be very lucky. “Long, Long Time”—which was less an episode and more a short movie, clocking in around 76 minutes—told a story inspired by the game, but mostly original to the show. Yes, Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Ellie (Bella Ramsey) are a big part of it,but the majority focuses on two characters whose 15-plus year journey not just…

Image: HBO/Naughty DogTo no one’s surprise, HBO has already renewed its TV adaptation of The Last of Us for season two after just two episodes under its belt. While the TV show has brought much of the original 2013 game’s story to life thus far, it’s also knowingly taking some fairly substantial divergences or additions to make the universe feel more lived in and keep fans of the game on their toes.The show’s first season is already confirmed to be covering the entire first game, but that’ll be changing for the second…
