I didn't really like the cold open either, but a lot of TV-watchers (or readers for that matter) get annoyed if things aren't explained to them right away and they can't just go with the flow.  I remember how many people complained about the Witcher and how the different timelines were running concurrently.  I thought it was a cool device.  Lots of people were just confused.

Anyways, the first episode of the Last of Us was great other than that, practically following the opening of the game shot-for-shot. Video game adaptations have always been garbage in the past and this seems like a case where they finally figured it out.

I think my one other beef is that it follows the game too closely, and I say that has someone who has played TLOU through at least three times. As you say there's a lot of scenes that are lifted straight from the game which I think is lazy, but I do get why they do it.
