which is not something that's in the game either. So they're taking away any sort of debate about was this some sort of cliffhanger? Like, are they going to say, is this going to be a Glenn the other time that Glenn seemed to die and then didn't actually and somehow escaped? No, clearly Joel is dead here. And it's a little less like grossly violent than it was in the game.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

But yeah, if she'd had her way, she probably would have. But she was being hurried along a little bit there. And I think the game is also like literally darker in terms of the setting, like the room where this takes place, because they go down to a basement. And it's really dark and dingy. And it's just like they're descending into the depths of hell.

And it's almost as if they're like hiding the atrocity that's being committed here, where as it's like a little brighter and nicer in this room. I mean, it doesn't really undercut the brutality of it for me much, but it's another way in which They kind of cleaned it up just a tad, you know, in the show versus the game.

Because it looks like basically a murder dungeon where this is happening in the game. And a little less so. It's like an alpine lodge, you know? It would be a nice room if not for what is taking place in it. Then we also get the Ashley Johnson cover. And I think this was a really nice touch. I think much as having Ashley Johnson show up in season one to play Ellie's mom...

And, you know, having it make sense in the universe, but then also being a little nod to her and her portrayal of Ellie, but then also to game players and tying these different universes together. Here we hear Ashley Johnson covering the titular 2012 song Through the Valley by Sean James.

And it's a blend of her performance in the original 2016 teaser for the game and a new rendition that she delivered for the show. And I thought this was just really fitting and just a nice nod to us and thematically appropriate and resonant. And I just kind of tipped my hat to that touch.
