Donโt worry too much about saturation. Yours is, at least, the fourth reaction Iโve watched but the first one to give me an excuse to rewatch the full episodes ๐. Looking forward to the journey.

2023-01-28 22:21:13 +0000 UTCSo true. In many cases that face was my confirmation that Iโm remembering it correctly.

2023-01-28 18:59:31 +0000 UTCMy only real quandry with the show is Tess. I love Anna Torv (Fringe) but her Tess is much softer than the Tess in the game. Her and Joel are pretty equally matched in that, whereas in the show she defers to Joel more. I get why - it's a TV show & PP is the star - but it still niggles. But really I'm nitpicking, I do love the adaptation!

2023-01-28 18:47:48 +0000 UTCFringe is good, but really itโs Diet X-Files.

2023-01-28 13:12:58 +0000 UTCYou say that now, Sam, but come Season 2 youโre gonna be all WTF?!?!?! ๐

2023-01-28 13:06:48 +0000 UTCThat was so good having not played the games I have nothing to reference it to so I enjoyed it for what it is ๐ I imagine someone has already done a video of series and game side by side will check if so after I've finished the series ๐ fantastic start though visually great and the acting is first class . Outro was great as always guys and it seems there are indeed video out there damn you Daniel you already know everything haha
Ian
2023-01-28 11:39:23 +0000 UTCI always chuckle when Daniel knows what's going on from playing the game and he's got that shit eating grin while he's giving Sam the side eye, waiting to see if she figures out little clues

2023-01-28 09:18:43 +0000 UTCFuck. I called Pedro Pascal 'Pablo'. Now I must shave my head and become a monk, forever forsaking my life as a common citizen. May the gods forgive my trespasses against the holy one...
Steve Mercier
2023-01-28 07:23:28 +0000 UTCI'm with Sam on this one...I only know what I know about this through osmosis. But holy shit...this show is spectacular. Without any real context, I think Pablo and Bella are both killing it...and I'm a huge fan of Anna Torv as well (Fringe, if you haven't seen it, is one of my all time favorite shows). I'm honestly fairly zombied out after...well, all of zombiedom. But I don't even view this as a zombie story. Just a good damn survival story so far. Can't wait for more.

2023-01-28 06:58:54 +0000 UTC80s, thank you!! We figured it had to be because that was worst case scenario, I think! Yes!!! I knew I recognized her and definitely from Mindhunter. One of my all time favorite shows :) Oh yikes! That would be a big oops then, but we'll forgive them lol -Sam

2023-01-28 05:46:09 +0000 UTCThe Fringe is on our list! Too many shows, not enough time! -Sam
TBR Schmitt
2023-01-28 05:44:23 +0000 UTCHerschel made me laugh haha I love hearing the comparisons from these episodes to the games! Daniel and I will definitely be checking out some deep dive videos as time allows! We've been avoiding everything until we could get caught up haha -Sam
TBR Schmitt
2023-01-28 05:43:51 +0000 UTCThank you! Wow, renewed already?! Can't wait! -Sam

2023-01-28 05:42:18 +0000 UTCLiterally! Always trust the dogs! -Sam
TBR Schmitt
2023-01-28 05:41:28 +0000 UTCLOL I feel like I've been perpetually scared since October! Very interesting take on Karma for this one! This was a huge decision for them to make, but it's always so crazy to me how the smallest thing could change everything -Sam
TBR Schmitt
2023-01-28 05:41:17 +0000 UTCHaha hope you enjoy the reaction! -Sam

2023-01-28 05:39:18 +0000 UTCI loved that they used that song as an outro, it's Depeche Mode, Never Let Me Down Again, one of my favorites of theirs, 80s btw. Also, someone already mentioned that Tess is played by Anna Torv, but she was also in Mindhunter, I think I remember Sam once mentioned watching that show, I'm still impatiently waiting for season 3 of that one too. I'm going into this (nearly) totally blind, never played the game, but there are already spoilers out there apparently. Great premise, I remember the first time I heard about that fungus that infects ants and thinking someone is definitely going to turn this into a zombie movie lol. Btw, Austin is pretty close to Fort Hood, which is the largest US Army base in terms of land area, second in terms of population, so it was a great setting for the opening, and as a way to depict how the government response might be. One little criticism haha, the soldier says "Repeat that", that's a no-no, you never say "repeat" over the radio in the Army, you say "say again", repeat is used when you're telling the artillery to fire another volley at their previous target, and you don't want to accidentally do that, especially if your own troops may have moved into that area. Well that's what they told me anyway...

2023-01-28 05:12:27 +0000 UTCAlso Anna Torv playing Tess. She was one of Olivia Dunham in Fringe which is an amazing show that if you guys haven't seen it is an absolute must watch. One of the best sci-fi shows ever made.
Alex
2023-01-28 00:53:04 +0000 UTCThis has got to be one of the best adaptations I have ever seen. Everything was literally spot on, except like you said there was a little more in the beginning but what I really like is those are things that probably did happen in the game but they just weren't a part of the game. It's funny one of the first times that I ever saw this game be played was that scene where they drive past the burning house. I was watching Pewdiepie play it and he yelled out "Herschel!!!!!!!" LOL Which btw, one thing I immediately noticed was the burning house in the video game is on the right side. Everything else was exactly the same as the game. They probably want to see who would notice. It was so exact to the original game I remembered almost every part of it down to them being in the tubes. When it comes to cordyceps and what Sam was wondering about with that one guy.. The fungus controls the ant to position the ant as far up above the ant colony as possible, and then the fungus breaks out of its head and spores just explode out of the head of the ant, and infect all the ants in the colony below, starting the process anew. I don't remember anything about the stages in the game but this is how it happens in real life. It probably is not possible that this would ever be able to infect humans despite what was said on the talk show in the show at the beginning :) They usually will just pick some sciency bits and glue them together in ways that sounds really scary but would never work in reality. So when this game came out I was actually taking cordyceps as a supplement. So imagine my surprise when I'm literally eating the stuff that is infecting them in the video game LOL.

2023-01-28 00:23:22 +0000 UTCLoved the reaction! It's a great adaptation! And t's renewed for Season 2!
Marcio T
2023-01-28 00:00:02 +0000 UTCAnd so it begins. lol This was an amazing first episode, and it really set the bar for what the rest of the series can bring. I'm excited to watch the rest of this series with you guys. I already saw episode 2, so I'll be re-watching soon as you send the notification. lol The Last of Schmitt is here. :P

2023-01-27 23:48:13 +0000 UTCThe takeaway from this reaction. "You always trust the dog..take grandma outside " ahahahahahaha๐คฃ๐คฃ
Paul Spacone
2023-01-27 23:46:16 +0000 UTCThat's probably true, but it's also easy to glance down and see stuff before you hit play
Odd Thomas
2023-01-27 23:17:45 +0000 UTCIsn't the comments section for discussing the episode after the reactor(s) have seen it? You don't read this comment section if you don't want to be spoiled. I mean... what will we say here? "Good episode, guys. Umm... okay. That's it." LOL
Mr. Writhms
2023-01-27 22:43:29 +0000 UTCSorry Sam, but Scared Sam is the best! Thanks so much for choosing this show! I think Joel not picking up that family on the side of the road (although very understandable and even justified), it's a moral choice that he pays for. If they pick up that family, it will take a few minutes. Then if they drive the same route, the streets are now blocked by too many people and their truck isn't on the street when that plane crashes and they don't get into an accident. Being on foot is what ultimately dooms them. Maybe bad things still happen to Joel/Sarah/Tommy, but we know terrible things happen to Joel because of that choice. It's a cruel punishment.

2023-01-27 22:05:46 +0000 UTCAwesome! Remember some people haven't played the games so no spoilers, guys. (I have played it)
