that such a small detail, I am not concerned about that. It really doesn't have any bearing on the actual story, its mostly just a play mechanic and a way to block paths. 

A valid point. I just looked at it as the basis for the plague and I'm curious how they're going to suggest this started. Based on what we've seen, it looks like Sara will have a larger story and we are getting Ellie's backstory as well so I'm sure they'll go into detail on how it started without the spores. Just hope it's not something corny but since Neil is heavily involved, I'll give it the benefit of the doubt

Actually, the zombies might represent the biggest change between the series and the game. The show really dials back the action in favor of drama. In a game, you always need to have some sort of action. So if Joel and Ellie are walking down the street, you better have a few zombies to kill to keep things interesting. But on HBO, that’s not the case. Unless the zombies move the story forward in some way or force the characters to make impossible decisions in terrible situations, they’re not in the show. They’re somewhere off-screen, looming as a threat, but that’s it.

This is pretty interesting. I'm guessing we'll be hearing a lot more clicker noises in the distance? Making it more suspenseful rather than visually in your face.

Really interested to see how they do the upside-down scene. They better have ALL that action lol

I think part of it is that Pedro Pascal or even his agent don't want him wearing a mask/covering his face in another big role.

I say this not as complaining, just checking to see if I should avoid this thread or not.  Are you guys going to be talking about game parallels and certain scenes that haven't happened in the show yet?  If so we either need a spoiler free thread like Game of Thrones had or I just need to avoid the thread because i'm coming into this completely blind having never played the game.

I'm sure you'd be OK w/ hidden content if it's spoilery or would that entice you too much to click the dropdown?

Personally I can do either way b/c I'm not trying to ruin this for anyone.

I can avoid hidden content easy enough, just want to have no idea of what's coming.
