The Last of Us Ep. 2: They swinging!

Send us a text


Happy Wine Wednesday! We're back with our regular coverage of
HBO's The Last of Us.  This week we're talking about episode
2 - "Infected."  We talk about the very interesting cold
open and our complicated feelings about where the writers seem to
be suggesting that the outbreak began.  Now that we've had
more time with Ellie, we get into our impressions of her and
thoughts on her introduction as a character.  

We pour one out for Tess and share the moment when we realized
she actually had hope, which meant she was not long for this
world.  We then give out several awards for the episode -
the moment that gave us serious chicken skin, the video game
moment of the week, the hustling backwards award, and we close it
out giving a delicious chicken sandwich award to our favorite
part of the episode.

I spend a lot of time freaking out over the clickers and the fact
that they actually fight back - they were swinging, y'all! After
I finally calm down from my freakout, Candi and I discovered that
we have actual magical powers when we come together thanks to an
obscure, but memorable reference that we both decided to discuss
during the thirst segment not knowing the other was thinking of
the exact same moment.  We will do our best to use our
powers responsibly.

Thanks for listening! Friendly reminder - we drink, we know
things, we use adult language, and we have a really good
time.  If you have feedback you'd like us to read and
