Legitimately impressed, Abby from the TV series feels like a much better character than the game's, they took their time to develop her non-existent personality (and change a ton of scenes, still mixed feelings about it). Now it actually feels like a revenge plot instead of a random murder spree

Minimal spoilers regarding one of the theories about Ellie's immunity, focus on Cordyceps and their evolution inside the game, worth the listen for anyone interested in the game's lore

"The world didn’t end with a bang—it was brought to its knees by the Cordyceps Brain Infection (CBI), a fungal outbreak that spread rapidly and turned humans into violent, mindless creatures. Originating from a mutated form of Cordyceps fungi, the infection spread through spores and bites, dismantling society and leaving humanity in ruins. This is the story of survival in a world forever changed. The infection rewires its victims, turning them into Runners, Stalkers, Clickers, and Bloaters—each stage more horrifying than the last. Cities became overgrown wastelands, and humanity splintered into factions fighting for survival. Quarantine zones offered temporary safety under strict military rule, while groups like the Fireflies fought to restore freedom and hope. Meanwhile, raiders and cults thrived in the lawless wilderness, exploiting the chaos. Amid the devastation, Ellie, a young girl immune to the infection, offers a glimmer of hope for a cure. Accompanied by Joel, a hardened survivor, they journey across a dangerous, post-apocalyptic America. Their bond deepens as they confront infected hordes, hostile factions, and the moral dilemmas of survival. Joel’s choice to save Ellie at the expense of a potential cure becomes a pivotal moment, raising profound questions about sacrifice, love, and humanity’s future. The story explores themes of loss, resilience, and the fragile balance between survival and morality in a world consumed by the Cordyceps infection. It’s a tale of human connection in the face of unimaginable horror, set in a landscape where nature reclaims what humanity has lost. This is The Last of Us."
