I thought the same thing. Was kinda of a relief to have them in the truck all supplied up and Boom it's gone.

Yep, the question now is whether it is a horde or zombies or one huge special one.
To be fair if we discussed the show there would be inevitable speculation or why certain decisions were made...and we'd be harassed for introducing tainted knowledge from the game. Like I'm pretty sure most of us know whats underground based on the trailers and other social media discussions - but all of that could be considered spoilers here since its game content as well most likely. So all we're left with is talking about non-plot stuff like what was Bill's recipe he used for the last dinner, etc.WES2006AG said:

nevermind...I see your point. it makes this show hard to discuss.

I agree. I know that bad things have to happen to the good guys for the story to be interesting, but wish it hadn't happened quite so quickly. Looks like next episode will be action packed with why I assume is the mushroom zombie hoard escaping from the floor of that building.
What you guys don't realize yet is that the leader of the rebels is a total badass. She just has been covering the evidence up with clothing.
Had to bring this over.

Apples and oranges. But it's surprising she's that old.
What is interesting to me about supplies is we see the lack of stuff around and even leaving a weapon because it's hard to find stuff, but then we get into a shootout and the hijackers not being selective with their shots. Then we see Ellie and Joel both using a flashlight at the same time instead of conserving battery.

CNN is an enemy of the state and should be treated as such.
Why on earth would you live in a city? Especially since out in the sticks the threat of the Fungus People is minimal.
Easier to forage for supplies for a larger number of people. If all those people setup shop in the boonies after a few months they would have to travel long distances to find stuff they needed. That increases risk and costs time/fuel to do.Garhett_W said:

This thread sucks ass. Episode 5 can't get here fast enough.
Why is there a slapfight on here every single day?
Give it up, damn

I think realistically 20 years later there would be millions of rounds and guns around but zero gasoline or batteries.hurleyag said:

Not many, if any foods will last that long other than honey, afaik. Even cans and mre's in 5 years are gonna be bad.
Studies have shown that Chef Boy Ardee can last up to 100 years in a can but only 15 minutes in your stomach before mass evacuation.cbr said:I think realistically 20 years later there would be millions of rounds and guns around but zero gasoline or batteries.hurleyag said:

Just read a post that pointed out that Alabama's last football game, based on the dates in the Last Of Us Universe, would have been a loss to Northern Illinois.

I hope this is addressed in a future sequel or in future seasons of the show.
Oooo also means we don't get smoked by Larry Fitzgerald at Kyle - that game happened Sept 27, 2003.

Picking a route across country after an apocalypse must be a dangerous balance between urban and rural. You probably want to avoid bridges and tunnels for fear that they are uncrossable. You want to avoid cities because of people and zombies, but you need access to gas, food, and water. I think it was The Expanse books that talked about how bicylces are the best mode of transportation in an apocalypse.
About the militia leader: Were there other women in the militia? In the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king. I really think they miscast her a bit. I think they were going for the sweet but cruel trope that you see work really well in movies like Cruel Intentions, Dolores Umbridge, Regina George, Gone Girl, Nurse Ratched. That type of character could believably be running a militia without a physical presence. They cast someone that pulls off the sweet but wasn't pulling off the cruel.

Has to be a horde. A huge special zombie seems like it would not exist in this universe.
I was 13 when this game happened. I grew up a diehard Aggie but my mom is the aggie not my dad. We didnt go to a ton of games. I went to maybe 5 before I enrolled.Head Ninja In Charge said:Larry Fitzgerald as a sophomore walking onto Kyle Field that afternoon.Goldie Wilson said:

just so happens that was one of the games I was at.
Stairs they started to climb were from the Hotel Kansas City.

I also found it strange how Joel went through KC
Perhaps they were trying to avoid Chicago? I know its following the game, but the route doens't make logistical sense to me...especially since it was man driving.
Is there no route around the big cities period though? If it was me, I wouldn't be caught within 30 miles of an urban center if I could prevent it. I'm imagining a group like Joel and Ellie trying to cross through Dallas. Dallas and Fort Worth downtowns could both be completely avoided with a little maneuvering around. Why not the same for KC? Just seems like going into any urban downtown is just asking for trouble, like we saw.

As long as canned food stays sealed and doesn't bloat up/can isn't damaged, it doesn't really have an expiration date.
Shows like these make me appreciate the amount of food diversity our society has. It wasn't even 100 years ago that the thought of having Asian, soul, seafood, Mexican, etc all in the same week was not available except for the absolute richest people in the world. Can you imagine spending your entire life on nothing more than bread and cheese? Or rice and beans?
