This week, Da7e and Neil dig into the season two finale of The Last of Us and its risky choice for a season-ending cliffhanger.

In The Calm [07:48], they discuss the positives and negatives of a seven-episode season, celebrate good outcomes for the show's animal characters, and explore how one pivotal scene from the game was adapted in a far more traumatic way than it played out in the video game.

Then, in The Storm [01:11:46], they highlight all of the seeds this episode plants that will be very relevant early in season three. Then they make a few predictions for how a longer third season might be paced.
