The Last of Us Recap: Seattle at Last


Ellie and Dina finally reach Seattle, only to be caught between its warring factions.

The answer is Seattle in the recent past, where a seasoned soldier (Josh Peck) is holding court as he recounts a story of confronting “voters” with the help of a brutish, slow-witted comrade-in-arms named Greenberg who does not understand the word disseminating. Wilderness has already reclaimed much of the city (the parts spared from bombing, at least), and there’s little that appears ominous as they enter Capitol Hill, a neighborhood filled with rainbow flags and Pride symbols that Ellie and Dina don’t understand. • The conflict between the heavily armed WLF and the less resourced but still dangerous Serpahites, a deeply religious group not averse to violence, doesn’t map directly onto any real-world situation, but it’s hard to ignore parallels between current global hot spots.
