Pedro Pascal's Emotional Final Goodbye From ‘The Last of Us' Set Was Caught on Camera
Pedro Pascal was integral in building one of the most popular video game adaptations in recent memory, starring as Joel Miller in HBO's The Last of Us television series. The show is strongly based on the popular video game with the same title, which was first released in 2013.
However, with the television series sticking to the storyline from the video games, the expectation of many fans for Season 2 signaled the end of the road for Pascal's character. While some held out optimism that Joel's death in The Last of Us Season 2 wouldn't come until later, the band-aid was ripped off quickly.
Pascal was part of some additional filming even after Joel's death, but his time on The Last of Us set has officially ended. Culture Crave revealed a video of Pascal's final goodbye from the set, featuring a strong message from the popular actor.
"You guys are the best that I've ever seen and been a part of, there's nobody like you guys," Pascal said to the cast and crew.
Not surprisingly, Pascal received loud applause during his departure, and the clip left fans of the show voicing their appreciation, sadness and disappointment that he'll no longer be on the show.
"He's main reason I watched the show now he's gone I no longer have to watch I can watch him in marvel universe now," wrote one fan.
"Kinda funny how the most recent episode was one of the best in the season, and it had the most of Joel in it... other than the 1st episode... which was also great," added another.
"He did great! wouldn't be surprised to see him snag multiple awards this year," praised one fan.
"Pedro Pascal what a guy man," replied one fan with a heart emoji.
"I miss u Joel," said one fan with a crying emoji.
The bulk of the responses from fans were fueled by sadness and disappointment that Pascal and his character are officially no longer in the show. Many fans praised the actor as the best part of The Last of Us, and feel it won't be the same without him.
Both seasons of The Last of Us currently boast an impressive 95% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes. However, there's a stark difference in the audience score between the two seasons, with the first sitting at 63% and the second at 39%.

Matthew McConaughey And Woody Harrelson Could Reunite For More ‘True Detective'
True Detective HBO True Detective has been a bizarre adventure in serialization, the first season being one of the best detective stories put to television, and the others being a rollercoaster of quality culminating in the recent True Detective: Night Country, which formed some tenuous links to season 1. But those links could bear fruit. True Detective creator Nic Pizzolatto told the Nothing Left Unsaid podcast that there's an idea that may reunite Matthew McConaughey's Rust Cohle and Woody Harrelson's Marty Hart. And the actors are open to the idea. 'I actually have another story for Cohle and Hart that — who knows? — maybe we'll do it one day,' Pizzolatto said. 'It's character-based again. … But it's not something I've written or anything. It's just, I had that in my head. And we've talked about getting back together and doing it, and I think the guys are open to it. It's just a question of whether that would ever happen or not.' So, would this potentially be season 5 of True Detective? No, it wouldn't. It may not be broad knowledge, but season 5 is already greenlit with Night Country's showrunner Issa López back for more. So, if this Cohle and Hart season did exist, we would likely not see it for years, especially if it's still in the concept phase. We do not have a release window for López's season 5 at this point either, though no doubt that's further along. True Detective HBO The series has spanned a decade now, which has produced four seasons. There was a very short gap between seasons 1 and 2, a year and a half, before switching to 4-5 year gaps to get to season 3 and season 4. As for what the new Cohle and Hart storyline would be, Pizzolato does not go into that here. Night Country featured Rust Cohle's father and had the 'spiral' mythology return, but that was about it. Season 1 ended without the 'bad guys' getting taken down in full, the large-spanning, abusive cult. Presumably, this would have to be a story taking place in their later years, as I'm trying to imagine how more flashbacks would work, but who knows. One thing that I think was missing from all the other seasons of True Detective was director Cary Joji Fukunaga. Pizzolatto only seems like one part of the puzzle, but it was Fukunaga's direction that rounded out the season and made it what it was. And you can feel his absence in the other, lesser seasons. Fukunaga went on to direct shows like Masters of the Air and Maniac, and films like No Time to Die and Beasts of No Nation. It's unclear if it would be possible to get him to return, not just the actors. I would certainly be interested to see where this project could go, but if it does happen, it seems like it would be a long, long way off. Follow me on Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram.

Kylie Jenner gives fans a rare insight into her sex life with Timothee Chalamet
It's not every day that Kylie Jenner spills the tea on her sex life with Timothee Chalamet. In fact, it's literally never. But, that all changed this weekend when the business mogul reposted a TikTok, giving fans a rare insight into her romance with her boyfriend of two years. ICYMI, Kylie and Timmy attended a basketball match on Thursday. They cosied up courtside at Madison Square Garden and watched the Knicks beat the Indiana Pacers. Later, Kylie took to TikTok to share a post by HBO Max, the channel that aired Sex and the City way back when. In the clip, Carrie Bradshaw (played by Sarah Jessica Parker) asks bestie Samantha Jones (AKA Kim Cattrall) why they're watching a basketball game on TV. To that, Samantha explains her current beau is "obsessed" with the sport. "I don't get laid unless the Knicks win," she adds in true Samantha style. Naturally, Kardashian-Jenner fans couldn't help but put two and two together about the timing of Kylie's repost... which came shortly after she and Tim attended the Knicks-winning game. "The fact that Kylie reposted this 😭😭😭😭😂😂😂😂," one person commented on the HBO Max TikTok clip. "Kylie reposting this is GOLD, she's so funny!!!!" another wrote, as a third added: "Who's here from Kylie's repost?" "Timmy has my girl Kylie stressing with this Knicks games fr 😭," another fan joked, with someone else commenting: "Kylie Jenner's humour remains undefeated." "Not Kylie reposting this after the game hahaha," added another fan, with a different TikTok user chiming in with: "Lol my jaw is on the floor at Kylie reposting this." More of this please, Kylie!
