The Last of Us season 2 episode six recaptures some much needed levity, but with only one episode left, have the showrunners bitten off more than they can chew?


Let's discuss the penultimate episode of The Last of Us season two.

Image credit: HBO Yes, the man, the myth, the legend made his return to The Last of Us this week, via a series of flashbacks that stretched all the way back to the 80s, complete with a young Joel and Tommy at home with their dad. But, I didn't expect them to be quite like this, and the sixth episode's reliance on spending time in the past - while brilliant in its own right, with some of the game's most impactful moments beautifully realised for TV - makes me anxious that next week's finale is going to have to cram in a lot to give viewers a satisfying conclusion. However, while Eugene himself only has a handful of lines and really only one scene, actor Joe Pantoliano gives wonderful depth to his character's fear and longing in the face of death.
