HBO’s biggest show is back next month and last night’s LA Premiere event was infectious. I’ve worked carpets for 11 years and have never seen throngs of fans screaming the cast’s name and hoping for glimpses of their favorite actors. They blanketed the entire block and then some and were granted cordoned-off areas close to the stars where they cheered and commiserated.
the last of us
HBO’s The Last of Us set the bar high with its first season but did not land the point with its second season.
From Pedro Pascal to Matthew McConaughey, SXSW is bringing the heat early this March
SXSW 2025 is finally here this month from March 7-15. It’s the busiest, hottest, as in Pedro Pascal hot, and the most exciting time for both Austinites and folks from all around the world to work and play in Austin, Texas.
As The Last of Us concludes its first season, it left me more disappointed than it made me crave for another season.
When I think of this week’s The Last of us, the first thing that comes to my mind is that they should have saved this for season two.
Sure, the acting between Bella Ramsey and Storm Reid was good, but some of the dialogue exchange between the two did not translate well from the Left Behind DLC of the game. Here for television, it turned into a bottle episode with a little plot progression.
I was also left with questions. Why should I care about Ellie wanting a magic horse? Why were there fully functioning arcade machines out of the blue like this? It was beyond unrealistic for this to happen.
45 minutes it took to get to the scene where Riley discovered Ellie was bit from a clicker. That is too long for an episode that had a whole lot of nothing. It does not help that there were no clickers or undead the hat was roaming around in that mall. I guess the budget went to the product placement spots of GAP and Victoria’s Secret because those two brands had more airtime than the actual clicker later on.
There are two more episodes of The Last of Us and this story needs to speed up. I would have been fine if this one was early on the second season. We are this late for the story to wrap up and there should not be anymore filler episodes like this. Episode three’s placement was right for it’s slot and I cannot say the same for episode 7.
I did not want to be harsh, but this episode of The Last of Us was a waste of my time. Nothing of value will be remembered when I look back on this and I fully recommend you to either skip it, or play the game’s DLC.
This week’s episode of The Last of Us again expands on the source material while also remixing a few things from the game.
This week’s episode of The Last of Us gave us a message. And that is, nobody is safe.
After last week’s phenomenal episode of The Last of Us, it follows up with a mediocre episode that I can call the “Joel and Ellie hate each other hour.”
By the end of 2023, there will be a major discussion on what are the best television episodes of the year. This week’s The Last of Us will be part of that conversation.
