The first episode of The Last of Us’ second season has already sparked internet memes, with one line from actress Kaitlyn Dever’s Abby drawing attention to Joel actor Pedro Pascal’s good looks. While some fans have praised the nod to Pascal’s charm, others have questioned its relevance and tone.
In context, the line feels more like a knowing wink to the audience than something Abby would naturally say. It’s hard to imagine Firefly, which is known for its complex characters, teaching Abby that the man who killed her father was “good-looking.” The line has raised eyebrows among viewers, with some expressing their own disbelief.
Despite this, the observation has become one of the season’s first big inside jokes. With six episodes left in the season, fans can expect more memes and jokes to emerge from the show’s darker plot twists.
