In HBO’s The Last of Us, revenge is a dish best served democratically

New episodes of The Last of Us are premiering on HBO every Sunday night .

Ars' Kyle Orland and Andrew Cunningham will be talking about them here every Monday morning .

There are obviously heavy spoilers contained in the episode's spoiler-filled recap.

We're able to skip ahead to Ellie being semi-functional again after a three-month time jump.

The show doesn't go into it, but I've got to imagine that in any post-apocalyptic scenario, Propagating the Species creates even more societal pressure to participate in heteronormative relationships than already exists in our world.

Ellie is probably more comfortable being "out" in this context than Dina would be.
