Ok so the trailer for The Last Of Us Episode 3 is now out and throughout this video we're
gonna be breaking down the new look.
So far the show has given us an indepth look at some of the characters that we briefly
got to meet in the game and this extra character development has really helped the audience
see who these people are.
For exampl episode 1 had a whole day in the life of Sarah and it seems like Episode 3
is going to be fleshing out way more than what we got in the source material.
Originally we met Bill in Lincoln and it was only after moving through the town that we
discovered what happened to Frank.
In this video we've got a lot to talk about but big spoiler warning if you haven't played
the game and don't want to know what happens.

With that out the way, thanks for clicking this, now let's get into
the video.
-
Now the new look opens with Bill sat in front of some CCTV monitors.
In the game you arrived in Lincoln to find it completely abandoned by humanity and all
that was left was Bill who guarded over the town.
He'd set up traps throughout it and after saving you from one of them you went to his
home in the church.
He said that there'd been a military caravan that had crashed in the town recently and
you made your way out to it in order to steal a truck battery.
Here you found that it had already been taken and with the infected swarming you you were
forced into a school.
After surviving a bloater you made it to the other side and travelled through a neighbourhood
which is when you came across Frank.
Turns out that he and Bill had been lovers but after a while Frank got to the point where
he couldn't stand him and thus he made a break for it when the caravan crashed.
Unfortunately he got bit along the way and he ended it all after leaving Bill a note
saying how much he hated him.
Now you were able to use the truck he'd hooked the battery up to and drive to Pittsburgh
which I'm guessing will be coming later down the line.
This episode itself seems to be detailing Bills time in the twenty years after outbreak
day and also his relationship with Frank.
Now on the screens we can catch a group of people and Fedra soldiers.
My guess is that the whole town leaves and this is when Bill can set it up as his home
free from the control of others.
Love the old PC we can catch to the left and this seems like it's running Windows 2000.
He says not today you new world order jackboots and it seems like he might even be a conspiracy
theorist that thinks the Government has unleashed the cordyseps to take control.
We've of course just lived through something similar and I think everytime I logged into
Facebook my uncle was saying somethign like this.
We see him basically doing a tony stark and welding away which is when a trap is sprung
and we meet frank.
If you've watched the white lotus then you'll instantly recognise this guy as being Murray
Bartlett who plays Armond.
I also think that casting Nick Offerman is genius and he suits being Bill down to a T.
The guy looks exactly like how he does in the game and they even have the belt of shot
gun bullets that he wears over his shoulder.
Bills one of the most intersting characters in the first game and we learn very little
about him.
He's very much a closed book and in some ways he mirrors Joel.
Both end up looking after someone that they initially don't want to and they see just
how heartbreaking that can be.
Now intercut with this is shots of Bill eating on his own.
We catch him pulling a carrot out of a garden and in the background we can see a white church.
This is potentilaly where he's holed up at.
He's living a very solitary lifestyle, refusing to let people in and this is what keeps him
alive.
However he clearly lets Frank in and the two are pretty much opposites to each other that
are gonna have to learn to get along.
Frank is jhust a normal guy whereas Bill is a doomsdayer that's prepared for every eventuality
so that he can survive.
I think their relationship is gonna be fascinating to watch and with the latter being a control
freak its gonna be interesting to see how the tension between them plays out.
Now during this we also see Ellie walking around a house.
She's wearing the classic red T-shirt that she had in the game and in a draw she finds
a gun and a letter.
It's possible that this letter was the one left behind by Frank and this would build
upon what we talked about earlier.
This gun is also the one that she uses throughout the game and it's based on a Beretta 70s series.
Originally she didn't get this until much later on and she picked it up at the hotel
when Joel was being attack.
Joel had forbidden her from having weapons but after she saved his life here he decided
to trust her more.
Now we then cut to Joel warning Bill that there will be Raiders soon.
In the game he said that h'ed never actually been to Lincoln himself and going out there
with Ellie was an act of desperation because of Tess's death.
We can actually see her in the background standing with Frank and I'm guessing that
they'll pop up throughout the episode showing their meetings.
They of course had the whole thing with the radio set up in episode 1 and we'll probably
see them trading with the pair.
Now this prediction of raiders comes to pass and we see people attempting to swarm one
of the fences.
Bills trap sets off and it burns them but it seems like something bad goes down as he
ends up telling Frank to call Joel.
Episode 1 of course ended with 80s music playing on the radio and this signified danger.
From here we cut to Joel and Ellie on the road probably making their way out to him.
They pass some corpses in the road and you'd often stumble across these when you were making
your way through the game.
One of them looks like a kid and it shows how dangerous that the world is now.
From here we see a shot of a truck ramming through a fence and we know from other scenes
of the trailer this that is Bill driving this.
We also see Ellie opening up her knife and moving it near one of the infected heads.
This is a stalker that has started to go blind and he's on his way to becoming a clicker
due to the fungus now growing out of his eye.
Due to Ellie crouching down I'm guessing this guy is on the floor somewhere and he might
be stuck in one of Bills traps.
I was thinking for a second that he could actually not be attacking Ellie due to her
already being infected.
It would kinda break the rules of the game though and the Clicker in episosde 2 of course
went after her.
There was that one that gave Tess the kiss of death as well so I really doubt thats the
case with it.
Instead I think it's probbaly in a bill trap that they come across when they're making
their way out there.
The trailer ends with Bill reassuring Joel that they'll be fine but whether this is true
or not remains to be seen.
He looks pretty out of it when he tells Frank to contact Joel and I think he'd only do this
in dire circumstances.
Now Lincoln was a part of the game where you never actually fought against any humans.
It was swarming with infected but as for raiders and the like they were completely absent.
Therefore Bill might not have been as prepared for this and this is why he ends up getting
Frank to get Joel.
The radio message at the end of episode 1 also teases that and I'd of course love to
hear your thoughts and theories for the episode next week.
