Trailers = spoilers.

That's my general opinion, though. WORKED UP

Yeah even I was little annoyed they gave what it was away. I was only speculating until I saw the trailer.

I never watch trailers so actually don't know what you're referring to.

So what’s up with the thing under the basement floor? A big tree root or some type of larger monster?

We should rename this thread to "*****Official The Last of Us HBO TV thread, books TV don't exist, no backstory.. NERDS already ruining a series that hasn't started*****

LOL How can we answer this without spoiling it? The trailers give it away though and even HBO has said what it was.

Yeah I never watch the previews.

The worst are the 3-4 minute “previews” at movie theaters. No reason to watch the movie after those. My lawn. Get off of it.

A big tree root?

I assumed it was a big horde of creatures. But lets ignore it and focus on finding Henry.

I thought that was stupid too.

I assumed the same. Trailer or not, we know it’s not non infected people or a gopher problem.

Maybe it’s just me but them walking away was really silly. Probably the silliest part so far since we know what will happen.

They had a hundred people there and let’s say cement mix probably doesn’t go bad, why not mix up some cement and just pour the whole room full and heck just for hood measure add some cement in the other areas of that building. Maybe even in that general sewer area. With all those people, probably done months ago when the cracks starting appearing.

I’m no rocket scientist but little stuff like that might be the only thing that bothers me. I don’t care if they suddenly appear but ignoring an easy fix to assure not dying is really dumb. What her henchman can’t say, hey boss why don’t I take half the crew and spend today adding enough cement that we solve the problem and can help find Henry with the rest of the crew tomorrow?

I’d almost rather see the floor cracking as they leave the building not finding Henry rather than use their “ignoring the problem” to show us the floor cracking.

That would have been perfect.

Have we discussed yet that going through KC seems too far south based on their starting point and destination? Seems like they should have taken I-80 almost the whole way.

It's a 2 hour difference without an apocalypse. Maybe they wanted to avoid Chicago?

Well, you’d take 90 from Boston as I’d assume NYC is about the last place you’d want to drive near. There are a lot of ways and the interstates change numbers occasionally but I could honestly see going 70 instead of 80 again to minimize the being close to really big cities but still having lots of options. Going Indianapolis/KC instead of Cleveland/Chicago seems smart to avoid the biggest cities which are probably the worst places. You’d probably want to also not be too rural because that’s where people live to stay out of the cities except the well equipped/QZs. You can also easily explain it as Chicago with the deep dish pizzas was the worst and you never go near it.

It’s not that far south. If you wanted to avoid Chicago and stay on interstates, 70 makes sense. Avoiding Chicago would be smart because all the interstates run through heavily populated spots for longer distances than cities like KC or Indy. Avoid as much city and as much rural as you can.

 

[STEADYMOBBIN 22]

We should avoid the cities

Drives truck down narrow road to dead end, something nobody with military training should do.

Proceeds to drive into the city.

Leaves behind bolt action rifle, doesn’t take skinny kids shotgun or ammo.

Not to mention there are abandoned vehicles everywhere, barricades, rubble, etc. Might have to take a lot of detours and end up way off course.. Like KC.

He was hesitant to drive into the city and even said so but they wouldve had to backtrack a few hours.

At least thats what I thought he said.

I chalked that up to him being shook up about Elle having to shoot skinny to save him. I liked that he didn't just act like a "robot" in the aftermath.

I admittedly thought Wyoming was way farther north than Missouri when I first watched the show.

I ended up catching a trailer when we were watching ESPN at lunch, and it gives away a future plot point that I couldn't exactly remember. Not sure why they would do that, but I should have averted my eyes. I was trying to get my friends to watch the series though (successfully as it turns out when I convinced them it isn't a zombie show).

I might be misremembering but doesn't gas break down like within a year if it doesn't have a fuel stabilizer added? Even then, it only bumps it out to 4-5 years (I think) so you have to suspend some disbelief if they are sucking gas out of tanks that are 20 years old.
