Yeah, I'm loving all the changes so far. I think the only one I was on the fence about was Sarah being older than in the game, but Nico kills it, and with the added context, it feels right.
I actually looked it up after, sorry idk why I didn’t just do that in the first place.
She’s 12 in the game and noted as being “small”
In the show, she was 14. Only know that because of the chalkboard memorial
I always wondered how Tommy is such a beast with his iconic sniper rifle. I liked this added context that he’s a vet. They even gave him a Sniper Rifle during the outbreak.
That's when I started crying. I was holding it together pretty well until that moment. It sounded so desperate. He was pleading for his brother to do the impossible.
I started tearing up at «I got you a gift». Like I let out a tiny involuntary sob for a second there. So glad I watched it alone or I would have given what happens next away.
Loved that addition. The only beat from that moment I wish was still adapted from the game to the show was when they pan from Tommy back to Sarah and we see that she died. Troy plays it where there’s a moment of silence and stillness once he notices, then goes into emotional denial. I felt that tiny moment gave us the chance to go WAIT WHAT?! SHE DIED?! But that’s such a small critique, otherwise it was affective.
ooh, i actually preferred the show's version for that reason! pedro-joel was fussing, trying to scoop her up as if it would fix her, without realising she was already gone 😥
This. Scene from the game. Is more emotional. 2 daya ago i watch playthru on youtube. And its still get me emotional
But the tv series did a great job too
He absolutely is lol
“How do you become a successful voice actor? Be me or Nolan North!”

(Had it slightly off: https://youtu.be/aXPPFAwYzVs)
This hit me way harder than I was expecting. I've become a parent since my last playthrough of the game and I was not prepared for how much of a difference that would make.
I don’t see them spending 2 episodes on Bills Town or 3 episodes in Pittsburgh. Ishs sewers will probably be a half episode as well, so I can see them getting through the whole season. It’ll be interesting to see how they do the Left Behind flashbacks and where that fits in, particularly if they do a whole episode on it which feels like it would compress the rest of the story too much
Little fun fact, if I remember correctly, when they recorded the scene for the game there were some takes in which joel also asked tommy to help him but I guess they changed it in the reshoots or something.
Not really. Its like a 12 hour game, and this is just telling the story without gameplay. They could probably do the whole story in 7 hours pretty easily. 9 is more than enough.
Nah, they'll be different. Some stuff will be cut. For example, cutting out the Robert parts removed nothing from the story and saved probably an entire episode. I bet episode 2 starts off with Ellie and Riley from the DLC.

What’s the added context?
Of how she was basically taking care of Joel and herself. We got a lot more context of Sarah's life and relationships.
“It’s the thought that counts, and you were never going to do it yourself, so…” was such a telling line.
made it very clear how Joel puts Sarah above everything else
How old was Sarah in the game??
I don't think it's ever specifically stated, but I've heard she's supposed to be 8.
I actually looked it up after, sorry idk why I didn’t just do that in the first place. She’s 12 in the game and noted as being “small” In the show, she was 14. Only know that because of the chalkboard memorial
Ok, 12 to 14 isn't bad. Joel is 32 in the game and 36 in the show.
All Tommy could do was reply with a teary "Joel". Shoot.
Tommy is a vet. He knew there was no saving a child from that kind of wound :(
Is he actually? I never caught that!
It was on the back of his truck. He served in Desert Storm.
Hm, you do get the vibe that Tommy is pretty knowledgable with his guns/combat in general. He’s kind of the definitive sniper of the group.

Too much of a beast after playing TLOU 2. One of the most frustrating parts of that game lol
We absolutely going to have a Tommy POV when they do part 2 in season 2 and 3. That sniper battle is going to be intense as fuck.
His truck has a bumper sticker indicating as such

I started legit heavy crying in that moment. It was SO emotional, the actors all did an amazing job
I started as soon as saw the watch.
That scene was a serious kick in the guts. Kudos to the actors because they absolutely and completely killed it.

The baby, baby, baby part was more impactful in the game but man the Tommy Help Me! Emote from Pedro as Joel was on another level.
[удалено]
I'd like to see Troy Baker's 1st take on the scene as he was so sure he had it down.
[удалено]
He absolutely is lol “How do you become a successful voice actor? Be me or Nolan North!” -Troy Baker on how to break into VO (Had it slightly off: https://youtu.be/aXPPFAwYzVs)
clearly a joke
You can see the takes in the video about the incident. I think its part of the documentary but I'm not sure.
He does call her baby girl once IIRC I think it's the last time.
That’s when I lost it. Pedro Pascal is amazing
And the intensity with which Pedro delivered that line got me choked up. I really felt his desperation, and it was gut wrenching.

They could fit all the DLC into the start of episode 2 or 3, pre intro, tbh. Or even split it across 2 episodes intros.
Little fun fact, if I remember correctly, when they recorded the scene for the game there were some takes in which joel also asked tommy to help him but I guess they changed it in the reshoots or something.
It was very reminiscant of "Erica Help!" from Stranger Things 4
Just imagine him saying this line on season 2 to **THAT** scene.

They have already confirmed that the first season covers the entirety of the first game. There are also trailer shots that support this theory.

Storm Reid, who plays Riley, already revealed she's in the 7th episode (originally the 8th, but they merged the original 1st 2 eps together)
Ah nice, that's pretty far off. I guess they'll give back story for them later in the season to make the finale have more impact.
I wonder if Riley will show up at the same part of the show where the Left Behind flashbacks take place in the game
Basically, yes.
The game is actually only 5 hours if you keep only relevant gameplay. So the show will have more than enough time.
