The Season 2 premiere of HBO’s “The Last of Us” aired on Sunday and, to be honest, we have more questions than answers. Season 1 left off with Joel and Ellie approaching the survivor safe haven Jackson after a harrowing cross-country trek that culminated in the action-packed finale at the hospital, where Ellie was ready to sacrifice herself to the Fireflies to find a cure to the outbreak. Joel wound up saving Ellie, killing anyone who got in his way and lying to her about happened at the hospital. A five year time jump in the premiere resets the storyline: Joel and Ellie now have a life in Jackson. Joel is a leader in the community working alongside his sister-in-law Maria (Rutina Wesley) and has started attending therapy. Ellie is a full-fledged teenager who is an eager patrolwoman and lives in Joel’s garage. She is also still holding her immunity secret close to the vest. The dynamic between Joel and Ellie is off and their relationship seems more distant than ever. The debut episode took us another step further, too, with the introduction of new threats and a host of new characters, all of which made for a season opener that left us with some major question marks, outlined below. (HBO, like CNN, is owned by Warner Bros. Discovery.)

Dr. Michael “Robby” Robinavitch is the doctor you want standing over you in an emergent situation – calm-mannered, determined, with soulful eyes and a good looking beard. He may be a fictional character on a scripted television show, but the hype around this physician serving on the frontlines in a Pittsburgh emergency room on “The Pitt” is very real to some real-life providers.
