Warning: There are spoilers ahead for "The Last of Us" season one finale.
As HBO's hit drama ends its first season, Insider's Kirsten Acuna and Palmer Haasch round up lingering questions.

1. Why was Ellie's mom, Anna, in the middle of a forest by herself at the start of the finale?

It didn’t make any sense that Anna was alone in the middle of the forest without any context. It felt like the start to a random horror movie.Liane Hentscher/HBO

2. What's the importance of the farmhouse to Ellie's mom and the Fireflies?

5. Why weren't there more infected on the show, and will we see more next season?

The lack of infected on "The Last of Us" made the show feel less apocalyptic and made us question the necessity of finding a cure to the cordyceps infection.HBO

6. Is "TLOU" going to be a two or three-season limited series?

It would have been nice to spend more time with Joel and Ellie in season one of "The Last of Us."HBO

7. Will the show carry out its controversial moment next season and stay true to the game or will they change things up?
