Overall great episode, just had my own issue with a specific part

Comments

Life101!

Just finished watching this episode. I was so nervous the whole time Edit: I agree with Roshi but I understand Joel's initial reaction. Everything he's been through to save his brother only to see him thriving and about to have the life he will never get to have again. But that town was more important than Joel's feelings, in the end he didn't have to do any of this. Tommy has other priorities now and Joel needs to let his brother grow up without him

Kingmakaii

2 minutes in and Roshi already giving lupa the im about to beat on you after this video look cuz of the wrapper blink 2 times if you need help lupa lmao

Smash Bran'Discootch

Episode was dope. Curious to see which part you had an issue with. (not that i'm gonna jump your shit about it. Form your own opinions, i'm looking forward to them)

Koosha Mokhbery

Damn Rosh, thank you for running this out so fast, much appreciated ❤️love y’all, and your reactions. So interesting to see your perspective and commentary in general as well

Bhumghart

Y'all the best keep up the good content

Charlie baker

Weird to have a blond lady who looks exactly like maria from the game running the gate like she is when you meet her in the game only for actual maria to be completely reimagined and differently cast, I got whiplash lol. Man i was so confused to see tommy cause i mis remembered it as happening in spring

Kisuke01

Joel: We can make it Tommy: Was like Nintendo Wii?

Carlos

I figured she was Maria the moment they focused on her when she asked Joel's name.

slipHAZARD

I understand Roshi's point about his one issue. My only thoughts are that in the game when those moments happen it's very "Video Gamey". Like Joel gets wounded in the gut but then proceeds to take out like 15-20 dudes without bleeding out which is totally unrealistic but it's a video game and makes for fun playing. In terms of a television show, it has to be more grounded. I don't think it had anything to do with budget more so the fact that it has to be more realistic and the show can't put Joel in the exact same scenarios because TV Joel can't get shot 5 times and just wrap a bandage around his arm and be ok and TV Joel can't just reload a save. That's what I love about this show so far, I feel like they are doing a great service to paying respect to the source material and certain scenes while keeping it grounded and realistic in terms of live action TV. Just my opinion

DatKid_Kaneki

ngl me if i was in joel situation i wouldve been so mad. i been looking for you, put my life in danger to get a car just to find u, send out daily radio calls for you. and your just here living life and u got a WHOLE WIFE?? like do i even matter at that point

Carlos

The university was a bit of a let down compared to the game, but a 50 year old dude falling from a second floor and getting impaled only to keep going for a few minutes longer isn't the most realistic shit in the world so I kinda understand the change.

britt

that cup ellie had was for periods, you bend it like how she did and stick it up there 😂

bleach

I never thought I would see my uni in a show or movie before

Kimani Irish

random question, but why the random race swap of maria?, they could have easily introduced a new black character.

Charlie baker

Oh yeah by the point i fugured it out but the blond wall guard faked me out before thar

Charlie baker

The problem is the game makes it impossible to do the smart thing to survive by having joel be impaled on something thats imobile but with him being stabbed joel basically guarantees his death irl because the bat that stabbed him would keep pressure on the wound plus with it just being dudes with melee weapons elie having a gun should mean that come out hurt but not in the red as bad

botanbutton

lmao omg, it was a menstrual cup! Completely get what Roshi is saying about the change but I do think it was necessary. They've done a good job keeping to the source material while making sure it suits tv so I'm not mad about it. Like, those lines when Ellie and Joel were in bedroom were exactly from the game. No need to replace them! Also, the music is mostly from the game!

Rai

I think it was more about picking the best actress for the job rather than purposely race swapping kinda of like how even tho pedro isn't white the creators believe he was the best actor to portray Joel.

Robert L

Tommy couldn’t expose Jackson. He didn’t really have a choice either.

AdventHorizons

yeah, I agree with Ya Rosh, could've fleshed it out a bit more. overall, still a great episode.

DatKid_Kaneki

i know but idk if its me but if hes my brother im atleast telling him im good😬 i wouldnt want my brother to die coming to look for me cause atp thats fucked up cause i didnt care enough to give my brother the peace of mind

Alexis Sullivan

The plastic thing they gave Ellie was a menstrual cup. They're reusable and in an apocalypse where tampons are scarce they're more efficient

Charlie baker

Yeah seems odd considering they already made joels daughter black and now tommys wife, do the miller boys got a type lol.

DatKid_Kaneki

im a big family person so it could just be a me thing but im “fuck everyone except my family” in that situation id rather know my brother is safe then leave him in a wild goose chase

Imari

Lmfao get over yourself you sound like a bitch rn live your own life. That’s essentially what tommy said he has a wife and child. He lives in a very secure town that doesn’t use direct communication specifically for their own safety. You acting like tommy should have followed Joel around the world so he could be just as disheveled and weak as he is.

The Sleep King

LMAO, I died when Lupa asked what contraception means

DatKid_Kaneki

calling me a bitch is crazy ill dog yo ass dont speak to me like that nigga. and i dont think u watched the fucking show nigga he said he couldnt communicate because he had to keep the town safe. dumbass nigga

Jacob Artis

The Jackson setting was pulled straight from tlou 2

Brandon

Did any body catch the girl Ellie was yelling a t in the restaurant

Zazies Beret

That cup thing Ellie had was a menstrual cup. So basically it's a cup like thing that you insert into your vagina that catches the blood during your period. It's really useful because I'm sure pads and tampons are scarce and that "cup" is reusable.

Mikaylin

I completely agree with Roshi throughout the whole show they been pulling us in emotionally which is fine but since this is based on a video game I was expecting a bit more action still a great show tho

Sheraya san

That plastic tube thing is essentially a reusable tampon lol it can also be used as a female condom 😭

Grelk

mid

I lowkey really like how they showed parts of Jackson without it being super in your face about it. Though with 3 episodes left, Im starting to think we might not get a fight vs a bloater

Smash Bran'Discootch

I mean, i get Roshi and Lupa not knowing what that was. Ive got 4 older sisters. It's clearly a pussy hat. It's for menstruation, my dudes. Just a different form of feminine hygiene product. Also i see now what Roshi meant with the issue he had. Thats totally valid and i absolutely see what you're saying. I think though that the last episode had a lot of action, and this episode was more focusing on the building relationship between Joel and Ellie which is the most important thing in the game. It's harder to make you feel that connection in a show than in a video game. In a game, you're controlling the characters so you feel responsibility towards their actions. And because you're looking at the world through their eyes. In a show we have a totally different perspective and so in order to emphasize that relationship, they need to show a lot more of the relationship building in order to make it more believable. The show has had a pretty consistent rise and fall of action. Besides, with whats coming you'll absolutely get some action ^_^

JJ

Attack on Titan march 3rd bro. Don’t forget😭

Trist9n

Everyone doing such a good job this show the acting is amazing so much emotion in each episode

Shib

13:14 you could see the film crew on the bottom left 💀

AidanRain

You sound like an absolute clown, you also sound absolutely illiterate using the n-word damn near every fourth word expand your vocabulary lil homie

Kumi Chan

All the budget went into the bloater and the 127 clickers Lupa asked for

13

No idea how confirmed it is, but googling it, I got 9 eps total

Chimera134

thought the episode was okay. 5 was amazing though. Also Eminence in Shadow s1 is finished and s2 is confirmed in production already! So I hope that ends up on the next trio reaction poll cause it is SO GOOD!

Pan Cakes

Bro, nah. the only thing i hate about this show is how they keep making it like Last of us 2. where its mostly human vs human conflict. BRO NO BODY PLAYED THE GAME FOR HUMAN vs HUMAN , Where are the freakin zombies. last episode was them jamming all the zombies at the end just so they can never put anymore zombies in the upcoming episodes.

Shaquan Hypolite

Ellie: I was overwhelmed by all the food. I remember my first week just gorging myself. Stuffing food in all my pockets for later like it was gonna run out. "?": I saw that! Ellie: you did not. "?": I did, I remember thinking, "Who is this string bean girl stealing all the jerky?" Ellie: i didn't steal that much jerky.

Brendon Phung

it was good overall but they butchered my favorite scene :(

Koosha Mokhbery

Damn, what part of scene did they butcher?? I just watched the episode and loved it, thought they did great on the most important parts

Eldiablo561

We seriously got a bloater last episode. I’m fine that it’s not really action packed this episode. I like the break between action and drama.

Drake Rage

Completely agree with Roshi, since they do want to focus on the drama, they really should have made Joel getting stabbed scene a bigger "event." That scuffle was so quick and now Ellie is literally alone not knowing what to do or where to go, but it is not impactful at all because it seemed like you blinked and now Joel is on the ground bleeding out. Wait it woulda made sense if it was Netflix but HBO made this?? Where that budget at??

Steven K

i had the same thoughts lol like it would be one thing if he just got there but hes years in at this point he couldve talked to whoever is in charge about bringin Joel in

Sughandi

Yeah the least Tommy could've done was send a message letting Joel know he's with some new people and that he'll be alright. Instead he's got Joel panicking and traveling blind across the country for him hoping he's alive

Aerospark

I've been pretty okay with all the changes and condensing they've been doing so far........until this one. Happened way too quick and didn't have nearly enough impact

zILovePelmeni _

why is the audio quality for tlou reactions always trash? your voices and the show sound like its been recorded with a microwave

Bun

How Joel got impaled I'm assuming. Since that was a really flashy/exciting moment in the game.

jiggyj

Monster energy drinks came out in 2002 so they can find some of those, I'm sure that shit lasts over 20 years lmao

Candy

Lupa noo 😭😭roshi get lupa some yams

Grimm

Am I the only one that feels like them dumbing down Joel's character was way too much? It's like I'm not some meathead that just wants action non stop or some John Wick type shit. But come on show that Joel survived this world for 20 years for a reason, have him be able to kill a few people. Yes them adding some sad shit was well done compared to the game but I feel they still can have both Joel showing more emotions and have him keep that same vibe he gives off in the game, like he can fuck people up if needs to.

Sham3ful

Feels like all the main budget went to ep 5, I would've figured this would be a whole 2 part episode with Tommy & the school, but they zoomed through all that like it was a short arc

William Morris

yeah in the game it was like a whole deadpool origin story type scene if you know what I mean I'm keeping it vague but there was a staircase involved and a cool stunt that would have been super dramatic if they did it in the show. tbh I'm also disappointed because there was also a ton of infected in one section of the school too. they skipped a lot sadly. also the surprise was crazier because they thought they killed all the raiders in the game part before joel got hurt so it was like a jumpscare surprise then shock back to back

Zen Reacts

Bro I dont think you played part 1. Theres huge chunks where humans are the primary threat

CentrisAce

I don't like how Joel just flipped like that, but at the same time, I'm sure we've all changed our minds before after a night's sleep. I mean that's why the saying "sleep on it" exists.

R3APER

Slightly disappointed they didn't have the raider attack on Jackson like they did in the game but that isn't a big deal. Ellie's speech to Joel is almost word for word so that was good even if they didn't have the runaway scene. Now not having the standoff at the University was the big L of the episode. Sure Joel didn't need to fall from the second story...but at least give the emotional roller-coaster of Ellie getting over her trauma of shooting someone during the standoff then being scared because Joel is injured right when everything seems fine. Glad they had the monkeys tho, but was expecting at least a poster of a giraffe. Iykyk

Champion Bescos

I actually agree with this. They’re downing his capabilities and intelligence and at times beefing up Ellie’s, which sucks. Ellie grows into the badass we see in TLoU2, and she has her moment sun TLoU, but too much too fast and at the cost of nerfing the hard line of Joel. Just a nitpick..

Zeke

Idk if it's just me but the player for this video keeps freezing every couple of seconds

Julian Vargas

That cup Ellie had is for her period, it’s reusable

AOArlert

None of y’all know what a diva cup is? Damnn

Yamahai

The first L the show has made and probably the biggest one possible? I forgot the games so when I saw this I also thought we were being trolled, when they cut to the credits I couldn’t even be sad. I just thought “damn, like that?”

Yamahai

Unless there’s a plot twist and Joel is actually alive but judging by the end discussion I’m guess that he’s actually dead from that

Teyon Alexander

Consider that if Tommy had reached out to Joel to notify him he was fine, Joel and Tess would never have left the Boston QZ nor met Ellie. Tess would be alive, Joel would be doing Joel things and the world would just keep on keeping on. It is because of Joel’s fear for his brother due to lack of communication, that they even started down this path.

Kermit

Didn't play the game. Was literally thinking to myself "I hope this guy is trolling" when Joel fell down.

Panda

the TV MA rating and the logo to the left of the video with the transitions goin on. Clean af hats off to the editing.

Tuny kun

Lupa out here saying "What are contraceptives?" lmao. Same man. Same.

kristian

I’ve never been one to nitpick I hate how u people expect certain shit from these directors like they gaf abt u video game players 😂. Like what makes u think that they care whether or not u see enough zombie shooting, that’s clearly not what THE SHOW IS FOCUSED ON. REMINDER, THIS IS NOT THE VIDEO GAME. IF U WANNA SEE JOEL RUN AROUND KILLING ZOMBIES LIKE ITS A VIDEO GAME THEN GO PLAY THE VIDEO GAME. not to mention the show is actually realistic, giving it more intensity because u know Joel is not invincible in real life and only invincible before because IT WAS A VIDEO GAME

Chuzo

ngl to you dawg..don't nobody wanna hear nun of that im waiting to see Joel become a one man army

kristian

If the show woulda followed the game EXACTLY and showed joel killing waves and waves of zombies every 5 seconds y’all same niggas woulda said “yo is this supposed to be a show this is not realistic? Yo isn’t this a show where is the emotion and drama?? We don’t wanna see zombies all the time”

PatiPati

I had no hope for the guys.. but I'm actually shocked that Sheera didn't knew that it was a menstrual cup

UltimaJosh

IF YOU WANT A REALISTIC SHOW GO WATCH A BIOPIC. LMAO. It's an ip based on fungus turning people into infected shit already isn't real bro so saying they are trying to make shit as realistic as possible does not make sense to me when the foundation of it is fantasy.

kristian

Are u stupid? Is Joel supposed to be Superman or sumn?? I never even played the game and I knew from the very first episode it wasn’t gon be a whole lot of running and gunning. Go watch world war z or sumn

TimmSchmimm

Ok roshi I understand you want more action but lets be honest, joel is an old man and the video game is really really reaaaalllly unrealistic if you put it in a normal perspective, all the shooting etc is part of the gameplay and you kinda need that for a game to not only be some telltale game type beat, obviously in real life (what the series tries to show) nearly every encounter with hostile humans is a close life or death situation surviving a 1v5 gunfight or smth like that is goofy ass hollywood stuff like it was obvious the show will tone it down a ton. In the game he is impaled and casually deletes 4 or more raiders while barely beeing conscious, trust me it would look silly af and this would be some all of us are dead thing where characters randomly turn into super soldiers and this would ruin the entire feeling of the show so far.

Basedra

Listen people if you’re ever impaled by an object DO NOT pull it out.

cheezeblade

LUPA My guy you cant be serious omg help this man

Starscreamer

The older couple used to be on this old tv show called ‘Northern Exposure’. I used to watch to watch it as a kid. It took place in Alaska, so it was snowy and icy. I think this was a little shout out to that.

Will ofstain

it be the same people begging for reaction's that complain about the reaction. it don't add up

Robert L

Yo, Roshi edit what Lupa said out when it comes to YouTube he will get roasted.

Eliana

I’m pretty sure that was a menstrual cup, it’s so she doesn’t have to keep changing her pad/tampon and there’s no smell until she tosses it.

Antonio Williams

How did all three of y'all get clapped by a menstrual cup?

Jigga Man

Wait.. that's a real death? Joel just died in that scene?

Cameron Robinson

Wouldn’t trying to run away with a knife in your stomach be worse cause it can move around and hit more things?

Cameron Robinson

When I first saw the menstrual cup scene, I was the first annoyed like why do they have to why bringing up menistration again we already saw the earliest to grab tampons and how they probably are a really rare commodity. Then when I remembered that most menstrual cups, as far as I know, are reusable, they would be a great commodity to women in the apocalypse. It reminded me of the importance of reusable things, and how a society based on planned obsolescence would fucking hurt a whole bunch of people if an apocalypse ever happened.

SolarPaul

************SPOILER************ He's not dead this happens in the game, it's a fakeout. He's just mentally and physically exhausted and suffering from a panic attack

AOArlert

Annoyed at a hygiene product? Do you get annoyed when you see soap too 🙄

Basedra

Ideally you wouldn’t be moving around too much but the reason you don’t remove objects that stab you is because they’re also plugging up the wound. Once you remove them you bleed out a lot more freely and quickly.

Aziouss

Excuse me what? I have the dangly kind of genetalia so this makes no sense for me XD

Phroug

If you haven't played the games then you might not want to ask spoilery questions lol

Blackbulls6

It’s already battery acid so I don’t they can expire lol. Monster energy drink is just Four Loko that found Jesus

Anna Anthony

To be "annoyed" at the mentions of feminine hygiene products is an interesting reaction comments section. I will say.... Its legit not anyone's fault per se they don't know what a diva cup is. i TRULY hold public school health class 95% accountable. Because..... yeah. lmao completely agree with the action~lacking! Lower budget after all those infected last episode, even some of the acting this episode was very rooted and stiff. Not enough physical acting, more in tone. But again, I enjoyed it. Good Episode, Amazing Videos.<3 #contraceptives #lovethischannel

MancunianProphecy

I'm kinda set on not really liking the portrayal of Joel's character in the TV Show, made him a bit of a bitch tbh, for me he just misses that cutting edge ruthlessness that he had in the game. I get that he's an old man, but this is the guy who we're led to believe (from the first episode) that Robert and his men feared? Can't hear fuck all and looks like he's one loud noise from having a full on stroke. I'm indecisive on the relationship between Joel and Ellie as well, like at times it feels rather abrupt rather than naturally blossoming. The whole going from "You're not my daughter, I'm not your father" to less than 10 hours later Ellie and Joel riding off together, there was literally no build to that. I'm with Roshi on this one regarding the action as well. I understand they are concentrating on the drama aspect of things, but so far there's been no real high stakes. We had an intense episode last week with the horde of infected, but they more or less completely disregarded Ellie and Joel and posed more of a threat to Kathleen and her group. Just seems the biggest threat to Joel and Ellie so far is their personal feelings and relationship than the actual threat of an apocalypse.

Malcolm Washingon

I get the disappointment about the action because this is one of the bigger and more fun encounters, but I'm inclined to be more forgiving because I believe they are saving budget for the town fight scene. that's as vague as I can make the reference without spoiling it but if u played game you know what VERY important thing happens next. And they NEED to get that right. So I guess conversely if they fuck that up I'll be super disappointed. Also isn't this where we should've gotten the giraffe? I'm sad that wasn't included, that scene was beautiful in game. Tho since they cut the infected and raider parts of university from ep I guess the scenery wouldn't have hit as hard

Sun

Poll for beastars and black lagoon and vox?

Sughandi

Man the show sets Joel up to be this capable survivor who is feared in the QZ and more than capable enough to take on a 2300+ mile journey through a country filled with infected, raiders, FEDRA, slavers, and other groups. I'm having a hard time buying this narrative of him with the way they're handling most of the action in this show

Yvan

Personnally, I don't expect the same things from a tv show, so I'm happy they are not following the game. If I wanted the same things, the same fights, I would just play the game a second time. But I totally understand your point of view tho

VibeWolf

Im not disagreeing the Giraffe scene happens when they get to Utah. So they haven't reached that scene yet.

VibeWolf

The way this is going im like 60% sure the ending isn't going to hit as hard as the game nor will the second season be a thought provoking as the games. Im okay with changes but Joel as a person not being a capable survivor doesn't really fit how the actions in later scenes turn out. Either its going to be a subdue set of action pieces or Joel will magically be more vicious like his game counter part and it will have a strong sense of "where was this?" Energy. And no one is going to tell me cause he cares about Ellie. Cause a person who don't give a shit about no one is just as dangerous as a father protecting a child. And can we talk about how they really aren't letting Ellie mature as a survivor either? Like she would have been pumping rounds in people by now. She ain't killed a single person. But that could be me just hating kid characters in the apocalypse that get babied and I mean ones outside of settlements like Jackson.

Steven K

He didn’t actually mean that tho. It was more like one of those situations where you tell the person the worst shit so it gets them to leave but in reality you care about the person and are trying to protect them

Jazmyne Mattucci

just FYI, the 'cup' Ellie had after the shower is a menstral cup for periods. better to use than pads and tampons since pads n shit are scarce in that world

Pan Cakes

bro said "unrealistic" when there are clickers and bloaters and shit in their world. 💀. its based of a game bro, its suppose to be more unrealistic. thats why that game sold. no one wants some boring ass realistic shit with human drama 24/7. 💀. if you love realistic human drama , then the walking dead is waiting for you

Pan Cakes

nah, the thing is, everyone is complaining BECAUSE they didnt add more zombies and action. or there would not be any COMPLAINTS at all. Everyone knows a SHOW about ZOMBIES is not suppose to be realistic. you reaching for straws lil bro 💀

britt

cocaine bear reaction when? 👀

Pan Cakes

yeah and there were also huge chunks with fights with zombies. so they just decide to throw one out for the other? waste all the zombie budget on episode 5 with the horde and thats it? like no way 💀

GraffitiTurtle

tf? If it were just a zombie show/game it’d be boring af 😂 the human interactions are literally why people love the game so much. If not for all of those it’d just be another overdone zombie plotline

Antonio

It's a washable cup for women's menstrual cycles. since they're in an apocalypse it's better than pads or tampons.

GraffitiTurtle

I like that they make the show more like a show. Save the video gamey action for something like Arcane, where they can make it unique and fun (which is easy because it’s animated). All the action in TLoU is either shooting things or shooting things in a slightly creative way. I’m also looking forward to the winter stuff the most. That’s a lot of people’s favorite part of the first game so I really hope they can stick the landing there as well.

TimmSchmimm

I'm sorry but I absolutely despise this kind of reply, the 50 IQ basement dweller that refuses to think a single step further and acts like I'm the idiot while having the most trash take ever... Do you understand that there is realism even in a full on fantasy world like in lord of the rings or even star wars? Gollum also doesn't pull out a glock and starts blasting frodo when he tries to take the ring because there are certain rules to a story the author elaborates and if you stray too far from them it will be goofy and 'unrealistic'. The last of us is set in the regular human world with a zombie outbreak, that is the only fictional part, that's it. What would your reaction be if Joel suddenly started to turn Green, transformed into the hulk and turned the raiders into edible soap with his magical powers? "It's based on a game bro, why would that be 'unrealisitc'💀💀💀". Thats the kind of thing you just said and it makes me angry to think about how you even had the courage to press send after typing this. Sry for beeing toxic but this made me so mad and I even deleted plenty insults out of respect but idk... the AUDACITY man..

Smash Bran'Discootch

LMFAO bruh what series did you play? The whole zombie apocalypse aspect is literally the least important thing about this series. It's just the backdrop against which they tell human stories. Trash take.

Moisty Justice

Just play the game then. It’s still there, Joel isn’t Wolverine where he rages for a bit after being hurt. Lol he’s a old man with ptsd and clearly having panic attacks bc of it.

Jonathan Reyes

Wow, lupa didnt catch that was Dina lol

Josh

Loved the reaction guys, keep up the good work!!!!! This episode was great, but I feel like Joel is more emotional in the show compared to the game, I don’t really mind that they made him like this, my only regret is that they made him more fragile “physically” like being slower and too old. In part one of the game, despite his age, Joel was a complete beast that couldn’t be stopped by anyone….Not gonna lie, I wish we could see the savage Joel that runs around with bricks and shivs going crazy taking down enemies left and right lol…I feel that it’s unfortunate that there isn’t as much action, but the emotional scenes make up for it just enough for me to still feel satisfied and excited for the next episode

LeHarlequin .

Somebody else might have said so already, but that thing Ellie was looking at after her shower was a reusable period cup.

HIM

Pre 2004, I'm pretty sure the best you could find is some sort of So-Be 😆 You know, before they ruined their entire product like

vesra

You made the assumption that the show was about zombies/infected It's about the characters, Joel and Ellie specifically and how their relationship grows and changes over time and distance traveled. It does feature infected at times but also they're in the midde of nowhere so why would there be a bunch of infected out in the winderness where the chances of infecting new hosts is slim to none?

vesra

There's three whole episodes left in this season They're not gonna change the story that radically and kill off one of the two main characters in episode 6.

Chelsea Avila

never seen three people so confused over a menstrual cup before

Grisha Murdock

Except he's full of himself. That whole monologue was a projection of his fears with getting closer to Ellie, and the fear of losing her if he lets himself get close to her. Joel has been plenty ruthless, he's just fucking old, which the show has done a far better job of conveying than the games did. Joel is 56 fucking years old. And by the time we get to part 2, he'll at least be in his 60s. Also, killing people has nothing to do with "Maturing" so i don't get the point with Ellie. She's also about to deal with the cannibals, so it's safe to say she'll kill at least someone in the coming episodes. I don't understand any of you're arguments.

Cody

Thats as secure as you would want the rope in that situation. The horse is trained so even if it pulled itself free it mostly wouldnt leave probably just walk around chewing grass. Also you want it to be like that so if you have to haul ass and get on the horse and get out quick you dont want to have to untie it

Garrett

He’s still invincible b/c he’s the main character….we know when and how he dies. That I doubt they’ve changed drastically. You just are pulling bs out your ass with this rationale lol. There’s nothing more or less realistic about what they are doing.

Joey Zero

Pedro isn't white? Not that it matters, but I'm pretty sure he's white.

Ethan

@Joey MF what? His name is literally Pedro Pascal. He's Chilean

Mute_Otaku

The 2 people at first in cabin are natives let me tell you they did a good job it was funny watching them was even more funny since when i watched it with my family we were just laughing since were also native and are quite happy to see natives in the show was quite nice to see. the kokum's or aunties are the quite welcoming to strangers and always offer some food or bannock witch is always good.

Sun

Those raiders pulled up not even armed with guns. Both Ellie and Joel could've clapped them lmao

EmoBurrito

This episode didn't really seemed earned in my opinion. The relationship between Joel and Ellie feels more abrupt rather than natural. Sure, we've seen them have some back and forth dialogue on previous episodes. But we haven't really seen anything that would indicate how strong their bond seems to be (on this episode in particular). I know that the show alludes there's always a little bit of time skips between episodes, but it would have been great to see their relationship grow more organically than what seems to be rushed. This episode could've worked better as episode 7, while episode 6 could've focused on their bond more. All in all the episode was decent, I just personally think that the game did their bond way better.

MancunianProphecy

If you're taking about this specific part then something happens in the game that proves to Joel that only he can look after Ellie and not Tommy, which is why he abruptly changes his mind.. his decision feels alot more warranted than this.

Drake Rage

I was not happy with how they totally brushed over the fact that Ellie knew the kid was bit but didn't tell anyone, which resulted in an even bigger tragedy the next morning, last episode. I think Ellie is acting like a typical teenage girl instead of showing some form of darkness/fears/vulnerability due to growing up in a post-apocalyptic world, first time leaving the city walls, facing all kinds of dangers.... all of that could have been used to create a closer bond with Joel and her, but I think Ellie has been a bit too carefree, almost like they were on a fieldtrip. Maybe they will give her more depth later? but yeah there is a lot more they could have done with developing the relationships here, especially since they are focusing on the drama rather than action, so they need to do the drama well.

EmoBurrito

Yeah my thoughts exactly. It seems like HBO wants to focus on the drama more, which by all means go ahead. But if your gonna focus on the drama, you should probably make sure that you fully develop arguably the most important part of The Last of Us; Joels and Ellie's relationship.

For sure, I was enjoying this show, until this episode. Just going to hope that they were holding back on us to create a dope finale.

Animus

I disagree. They could of just let him reach out and tell Joel he's okay and living his life now. Tell Joel he can't tell him the location because of the rules. Joel felt abandoned by his own brother. I get both sides tho.

What I think they're trying to do is actually show Joel's age. In the game they have him being a one man army which is dope and all but not 100% realistic. I think that they are building up to what he does at the end for the non game players to be more of a shock because till that point its only been word of mouth of what he's capable of but doesn't look physically up to it. It'll be the audiences first time genuinely seeing what he can do and did to people in his younger years. He may even show it in the next ep if they follow the exact events. Joel has now been given a complex of being a loser who is constantly losing things he cares about over and over again so what do you think he's gonna do when something or someone else comes along and tries to take something he hold dear again? Bro is gonna most likely snap. We even saw a hint of it at the very beginning with the fedra soldier he bodied. I could be wrong but is just an Idea.

51:50 that gave me goosebumps literally like the scene

I don’t know how anyone can feel like this episode wasn’t one of the best of the series thus far. Pedro and Bella are amazing. Every episode literally has scenes almost one for one from the game. There’s never been a video game adaptation this good

They show Shimmer as a baby 🥹

The rubber cup thingy is a Diva Cup. It is a reusable menstrual aid that takes the place of pads and tampons. It collects the blood, then you take it out, dump it, clean it, put it back in. No waste. An AMAZING gift for a teen-aged girl in the end-times. My wife used one for years and swore by it.

Did you also get annoyed when Joel tossed Ellie the deodorant? Get over yourself.

Alejandro Rodriguez

I gotta disagree w Roshi on the radio town thing he could've just said "I'm safe I'm not coming" back or something simple. Joel had a right to be mad. This whole thing w Tommy was what he worked a ton for, and partially the reason Tess died all for nothing.

It's not even like they are issue free for everyone, but in the post apocalypse they are a god send with no risk of toxic shock syndrome.

Sheera: "yall just now saying get on the horse? I woulda been 'we need to get the F outta here'. " Mam. What? Did you not see them trying to get on the horse before getting attacked and stabbed?!?! LMAO

Simeon Hamilton

Very good perspective. So far I feel they’ve handled everything in the show almost flawlessly and it definitely would’ve felt silly if they tried to add unnecessary action like it’s vin diesel in fast & furious. A great story can be told without heaps of action and they’re proving exactly that

Orlanditopp

Love how me and Lupa had the same question, where did they get those horses for Joel and Ellie? 😂😂

Dude, I don't know if anybody has posted this in the year+ since y'all put this up, but Roshi mentioning Red Bull made me curious and I went to Wikipedia to look it up. Apparently Red Bull has been around since the freakin' 80s, man. I had no idea, but that's actually pretty interesting to have learned. Thanks for stroking my curiosity button, Roshi!
