Just watched the season 2 episode one on Max.

The end of EP1 implied one thing.........Joel will die...It's sad.

I hope he won't. I like Joel. But looks like the truth is...not as I want to see.

[PONPOKO]

Of course he will, that's fundamental to the story.

[LazyAmerican]

I'm gonna laugh when this show tanks because they got rid of Pedro Pascal....or not *shrugs*

Think for more than 10 seconds. He will still be in the flashbacks, just like in the game

Yea, that's sad.

Eventually Joel will succumb to fate. However the producers of the series has already stated they will deviate from the game quite a bit for S2 and if there is a S3.

The Walking Dead kind of went of the rails thanks to Glenn's and Abraham's demise even though Glenn's outcome was faithful to the comic. There were a lot of viewers who never read the comic so it came as a shock and they dropped the series. I'm sure there's a lot of TLoU series fans who never played the games and the Powers That Be for the TV series don't want that same situation to happen if they stuck with the game's sequence of events.

Yea, probably Ellie 's revenge will be slow paced. And Pedro Pascal told us that he's not in the show anymore.

Where did you get that idea?

The ending of S2 had nothing to do with a possible Joel death, which I think will happen towards the end of the series for many reasons, but the end had cordyceps in the water pipes. Which will probably affect Jackson and I think Ellie, Joel, Dina, Tommy, Tommy's family, etc will be forced to leave the town.

Saw nothing in S2 that would indicate that Joel will die soon.

season 2 is only 7 episodes, there WILL be a season 3 which will be significantly longer. However it will be the last as it wont go further than the game has gone.

Edit, in season 1 they killed off Bill (i thought he was still alive in the game) and someone said he takes a role up in part 2 (as does Joels brother), don't know how they will do that with theseries with Bill though).

Huh, at the end of the episode we see Abby and her friends close to Jackson
Second episode and blood will very likely flow...after that, Joel will be only in flashbacks

Didn't you see the end of episode 1 of season 2? Abby Anderson is in town.

But it happened none the less.

If Joel survived the golfing incident he'd have a very bad handicap.
