History Fridge / TheLastOfUs2023

* During Tommy, Joel, and Sarah's driving through town, a theater suddenly opens up with panicked people ''crashing through the glass'' to get out into the street. As they run by the car, we see many of them are injured and/or covered in blood. There's no telling how awful the inside of the theater looked; whatever happened inside must have been an absolute bloodbath.

* Given how bulletproof the Bloater was... How hard to kill will The Rat King be?

* What happens to infected people who are pregnant?
** Partially explained in "Look for the Light" with the revelation of Ellie's birth, but the show does nothing to explain what would have happened if Ellie's mother didn't cut the umbilical cord as quickly as she did...

* In the first episode, we see multiple passenger planes crashing during the outbreak. While it was mentioned above that the presumable lack of air traffic controllers could affect the flight, a far more realistic possibility is that the passengers or even the ''pilots'' could be infected - the first stage of infection is becoming a 'runner', where very early symptoms would most likely present themselves as perhaps a bad rash and intense annoyance. Imagine being tens of thousands of feet in the air in a small metal tube, and the person sat next to you suddenly looks at you hungrily...
** Even before turning, infection causes loss of motor control and slowed reaction time. They could have made it into the air, everyone breathing a sigh of relief, no one's sick, maybe things are going to be okay... and then the pilot's not able to work the controls.

** The scarier thing is that the sheer size of that horde crushed the resistance ''in minutes''. So, in reality, KC was on borrowed time the second FEDRA went down.

* Back in Episode 4, Ellie said she'd already used a gun once... and given context, it was probably to shoot Riley.
** Confirmed in Episode 9.

* David keeps the fact that his community is eating human meat a secret from all but a few...but it's implied that most of the people are on some level aware (or at least suspicious) of what they're really eating, but keep quiet to ensure their own survival, both in regards to David's temper and in avoiding starvation. Thus, Alec's wife is likely quite aware that their daughter is eating his flesh.
** She also doesn't react when David slaps Hannah--or, even more disturbingly, when he holds her hand and talks about how he is her "father" now.
** Alec's wife is also the woman who takes the cuts of meat in the kitchen and puts them into the stew. Does she know--or suspect--that she's cooking her husband's remains?
** You can actually see during the dinner sequence which people were most likely in the know. Most eat at a fast pace, but the hunters are noticeably more reluctant and take slower or tinier bites (one even covers his mouth) and Alec's wife seems to have a slight grimace on her face when she eats.
* David tells Ellie that he was a teacher before the end, working with children around her age. Put that together with his declaration that he loves the fighting the most when he has her pinned down- David has almost certainly assaulted other children before, and gotten away with it too.
** James and the other guards agree to kill Ellie, before David shows up and overrules them. At first this might seem to simply be their avenging Alec, but there's also the possibility that they know or at least suspect about David's paedophilia, and want to spare Ellie that outcome.

** Joel says the sniper's aim sucks, which is one possibility. The other is that Kathleen had given him specific orders to pin them down so she could be the one to kill Henry and Sam herself.

* Mutated Cordyceps immunity is revealed to be the result of a new born baby whose pregnant human mother was bitten just before giving birth to her. It's a good thing Marlene and the surgeon only know about this when they finally get Ellie, because with the extreme lows the Fireflies are willing to go, they would certainly force another women to suffer the same procedure.
