Isabela Merced was a fan of the video game on which the series is based.

She says she's thrilled with some of the tweaks made by the creative team.

Merced: "So much happened in this episode because last episode was the grieving episode.

It’s part of one big story with at least nine acts and three central characters".

Dina 's near-death experience was what she needed to realize who and what she wants.

Dina doesn't even know that you can be bisexual, but maybe not quite quite quite knowing what that means.

The two have grown up entirely in a zombie apocalypse, so they probably don’t know queer culture.

A lot more backstory for the new series is coming up with some other characters coming back and complicating things.

There’s a whole drag community for The Last of Us , and a big gay fan base.

It feels like I’m on a train, and with each project, the train is going faster.
