Last of Us' best episode proves spinoffs will work
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Last of Us' best episode from the first season proves a spinoff focusing on a new cast of characters could totally work. Video game movies might be something of a cursed genre, but when it comes to television, they tend to fare a little better.
Bill and Frank might die at its conclusion, but they also proved that despite the apocalypse it was possible to carve out a safe haven and build a life together. It's genuinely impressive in that in a season that has several standout episodes - including the premiere "When You're Lost in the Darkness" and the aforementioned "Left Behind" - that "Long, Long Time" still stands as the clear favorite amongst audiences and critics.
In a Last of Us movie, the entire Bill and Frank storyline would have probably been cut out, with Joel and Ellie only discovering their bodies and reading the letter Bill left behind. In HBO's adaptation, this episode is a way to explore other survivors and offer new perspectives on what it takes to survive in this harsh new world. Spending time with the doomed lovers only makes further episodes more impactful, and hints at the scores of other untold tales in Last of Us' world.
