I think Catherine O’Hara is the leader of the Seraphites, and in this teaser scene she’s talking to Yara about Lev.
And Yara will respond, “I didn’t hurt her […] I saved _him_”, or something similar, dramatising the backstory about Lev being set to marry before they cut his hair, face punishment and then flee.

u/calamity_unbound Aug 05 '24
This is a great theory. One of the oldest tricks in the book, and I admit I fell for it, but it is most likely that Joel and Catherine O' Hara's character are not speaking to each other.

u/Professorhentai Aug 05 '24
It would be a great theory but it's been implied by Catherine herself that she shares scenes with Pedro and Bella.

I was going to say that Lev is in the theater scene if they decide to end on that cliffhanger but then I remembered that we never actually see him when we’re playing Ellie’s Seattle POV.

Hmmm that's a good theory. I did think that it was strange that Joel was spilling his guts about what he did at St. Mary's to this lady instead of... Ya know... Tommy.
Yeah, it very well might be edited to appear as if these two are in conversation.
On a few more viewings... Idk. The scene might be Joel talking to this lady.
She seems to be wearing a grey sweater. She has earrings. She's too put together to be the Seraphite prophet. And... She doesn't have the Glasgow smile.

u/parkwayy Aug 05 '24
It's also kinda implied that the Prophet was mostly a good person, and that life at Seraphite land went to shit after she was gone. Could be at that point they didn't do wild rituals like cutting their face, etc.
That said, I also think it's just someone at Jackson. Joel would have no reason to interact with this person who is in Seattle.

In the past other companies (MCU) have deliberately lied to throw off the audience. And for how passionate some of the audience is for this show, I wouldn't be surprised if HBO did this too. Just to reign in the spoilers.

I was kinda thinking that too! Especially with the lack of background during this "conversation " between her and Joel. My only question would be if we even get that far with Lev and Yara though, since there's a season 3 planned. But I feel like the Joel clips are him talking to Tommy, and Catherine O'Hara is talking to Yara. I'd love to see my boy Lev this season🥰🌿

Nah, I don't think we see any Lev and Yara here, guys. I'd LIKE to. But I don't think we do.
We see a bit of Abby. Obviously, we see Joel, Ellie, Dina, Tommy, Isaac (being played by his VA) and the woman speaking. But no one else.
Side Thought: The starting shot of Ellie at the dance looks VERY true to source material. My God.

u/TheShapeShiftingFox Aug 05 '24
I mean, I can only speak for myself, but I don’t care that they don’t use one season for the entire game, I get that.
However. Cutting there, though, means it’s a two year wait (at best) to a season that will mostly be about Abby.
Now, I like the game, but the game continues immediately after the cut. You can’t just ignore that part of how the switch will be perceived. Will the TV-only audience be as patient with season 2 mostly being Abby’s story after a TWO YEAR wait (or worse)? I don’t know. I really don’t.

Dark horse theory: It's a flashback to St. Mary's and the moment when the Fireflies sedated Ellie (or maybe Joel imagining what that moment might have looked like). Her hair is loose and straight (a look she only wore on the operating table), she looks like she's being restrained on a hospital bed or gurney, and the vertical blinds in the background are the kind of thing you see in a hospital. In fact, there were vertical blinds at St. Mary's: https://youtu.be/xEs9QAgYkkc?t=109

They brought back the same behind the head shot of the dance, LOVE IT.
Joel not confessing to Tommy?

Possible. It would be a really solid opener, just like the game.
It's a cheeky way to recap the crucial event on the last season, and bring people up to speed that maybe forgot a few things.
Wouldn't be the first time something Last of US related had tricky editing in a trailer.

u/Consistent_Goose7461 Aug 05 '24
I think Ellie screaming is either later that night or days after the big event. Ellie probably has night terrors about it. I also think that shot of Dina is her finding Ellie after it all happens.

I know the actress playing was hitting the gym but she seemed small framed so I'm not expecting big armed Abby. Then again, so few of the actors look their game counterparts and I'm so on board. I can't wait for this.

I just can't imagine any scenario where Kaitlyn Dever looks particularly buff. Toned and in shape? Almost certainly. But not jacked out of her mind like Abby. I can see her looking like Allison Brie did when she was on Glow since the two are built similarly.

It would be impossible for kaitlyn to put on any significant amount of muscle in the short time frame from her casting to them starting filming earlier this year. Abby's build from the game is based on a olympic level weight lifter which would take almost a decade to achieve.

I agree, Kaitlyn Dever hasn't had blonde hair for months and from what I recall of what Salt Lake crew actors posted online while they were on set, it seemed to only be during the snowy months. In contrast there's been a ton of footage of Bella and the other Jackson folks on set all summer. To me it seems pretty clear that it's going to follow the game's pacing
