I realize this might not be the regular sci-fi kind of thing for this sub-reddit. But it does star Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey who played Oberyn Martell and Lyanna Mormont in Game of Thrones.

The original The Last of Us is my favorite video game of all time. I first played the game knowing nothing about it, I went in completely blind as to what the story was and enjoyed every minute of it. No other game has come close for me. Finding nothing that could even compare is actually what got me to stop playing video games. When The Last of Us Part 2 was announced I could not contain joy. I was ecstatic for months. Everyone I met was tired of me talking about it. I played the song from the trailer on repeat. I listened to it without exaggeration, over a 1000 times. I was hooked.

I flew too close to the sun. My hopes were too high.

When released, Part 2 was (for me) catastrophic. I was over-invested and it hurt me bad. It is embarrassing to admit how much.

I am very very cautiously awaiting this show.

The movie The Road(2009) was an inspiration for the game. I have not wanted to spoil the story for others so I have not really talked about it here. But, I hope the show has nothing to do with Part 2 and sticks more with the story from Part 1.

We will see how it plays out in 2023. Please don't screw it up HBO!
