Here we go S2! I’m excited for this season because I thought S1 was so incredible, but I'm dreading the conflict and heartbreak that I can feel coming... We are going to try and do this one reaction at a time thing with quick turnaround the day after and see how it goes!

PS: Full schedule/update coming soon!

Watch the full reaction to The Last of Us (S2:E1) - Full Reaction on Popcorn In Bed.

Comments

Chris Retzlaff

WHATTT!! LETS go!! I'll watch it a fourth time!

Rick Williams

You go Cassie. Kicking at these reactions. You are the greatest.

Wes

Nice suprise!

SplinterTME

Unpopular opinion here: I dislike this show. I would list my reasons but while I don't like it I wouldn't want to spoil anything for anyone. Y'all enjoy it!

Bill Maurer

It's not as good as a lot of people make it out to believe. It had some really nice moments last season and I am a huge fan of Kaitlyn Dever and will watch it mainly for her

The Sheeple

I'll wait until the season ist complete. And as someone who played the Games I know already whats coming.

Samuel Champ

Backing up The Passion with The Last of Us...Impressive.

Dean Holt

Very nice surprise, I’m actually going to rewatch S1 first and by then should be 3 or 4 episodes in.

Mark White

Wow, another reaction! You are a machine Cassie, I can’t keep up! 😅

aarswft

I genuinely feel bad for everyone that experiences this story for the first time as a tv show and not the game.

Clay F

My son loved the game.

Alex Gorell

As someone who loved the games I agree the show is mehhh at best. Game is light years better.

Chris Thom

Games and TV are such different mediums though. Kind of hard to compare.

Chris Thom

Did the first season stick closely to the story in the game?

Chris Thom

Season 2 just started right? Or has it been out for a while?

The Sheeple

Mostly. Biggest difference was the entire ep 03 and the Beginning of ep 09

Cole Jennett

Don’t be. I feel great and love it!

TechJJ

The game hid Abby's intention a bit longer and that "confused" a lot of people playing the game. It makes sense to adjust in a way that would "narrow the divide." I'll just say that much for now.

TechJJ

Glad that Cassie (and many other reactors) are doing this a lot earlier to get responses while the story is fresh in viewers mind. I personally played both games too many times to count and still going back to play EVERYTIME Sony / Naughty Dog put out a new version of remake, remaster, a port, now "complete" or whatever. Pretty much memorized all cutscenes permanently. The adjustments for TV is actually quite refreshing but storyline definitely won't change based on this first episode of season 2.

WestBound

I'm not one of those people who say "OG medium was better "...but in this case the structure bugged me . We didn't know what Abby was doing until a little more into the game . Which I think would have been better here instead of telling us from the get go and making us root against her right away

WestBound

First season was near identical . Here they are already big differences . Im guessing because a lot of the fan base from the games gave so much backlash at what happens in game 2 so they felt the need to change some stuff

Canadianant

I was hoping for this as I wanted to wait to watch with you. Off to a good start but tough to see our pair a bit at odds. Worst part is the waiting now.

Paul Peavler

Without any spoilers, I can already say that there are more differences in this episode compared to the game than there were in most of season 1 entirely. Nothing absolutely major so far, but enough differences especially in timeline and order of events that I’m sure interested to see how much they change.

David Freese

I know its considered part of the genre but the creatures in the game and the show are not zombies. They don't reanimate after death like Walking Dead, the fungi just take over the hosts body so it can spread and the host dies eventually. Just my 2 cents on the difference. Loved the reaction and hopefully they stick to the game a little more moving forward. 👍👍

David Freese

But I know for a fact people are playing the game because of the show so it helps both mediums.

David Freese

I agree but not because its the way the game was. Its more suspenseful and would be more shocking on TV than even the game. Too many TV series do that now. They tell you what's up when it would be funnier to figure it out yourself.

David Freese

S2E1 came out last night so reactions are coming out today for those who wanted a quick turnaround.

Clay F

Late last night, I watched the first 15 minutes of S2E1. Now, I just watched the full episode along with your reaction. My son loved the game but I never played and know nothing about the game. Dina is cute. "I don't need your f*cking help." While Ellie seems less likeable, I feel for her. Everything that she has experienced. I have empathy for her. Joel should do an even better job of giving her room -- her independence. Ellie may regret being stand offish toward Joel if Joel is killed. While Joel (her adoptive parent) can have his quirks, he is a great resource. Ellie may be more receptive in a couple of years. Kids age 15-20 often prefer to spend time away from their parents. Natural evolution to gain/learn independence. But can return at say 22+.

Dan M

Doh!! I’m only on episode 3 of season 1! I’ve got some catching up to do. I may be The Last of Us to see this reaction… 🎶 bah da bum 🎶

Dan M

Not into games at all…and I never will be. I’ve only seen the first 3 episodes of season 1, and I’m already emotionally hooked and invested in the characters. I don’t think a game can ever get me to that place.

Clay F

I completely agree with what Joel did to save Ellie in the S1 final episode. I feel for the multiple people who were killed, but they were either responsible or in the way. Some two-bit doctor/researcher likely having no clue about some hypothetical vaccine (or its efficacy) and saying that Ellie needed to die would not have been enough for me. While there may have been some premise from the game for potential sucess for the vaccine, that seems so out there and unbelievable.

Clay F

Dan, I think you will like S1. Make sure to watch her reactions along with the S1 episodes.

David Freese

Well part of them pushing to try it is desperation. Its a troupe in apocalyptic stories where after awhile they get desperate to get a cure or some relief.

David Freese

Good thing is you have at least a week to catch up

Dan M

Maybe I’ll call out sick to work for the week 😉

Cole Jennett

I can’t agree. The fact that he had to lie to her about what happened is pretty telling. There was no need to kill the doctor imo. I don’t know what’s upcoming but i’m excited to find out!

Brian's Dog

I only played the first video game, season 1 basically. But the game mechanics had a lot of: A) throwing things to make distractions. B) Getting split up and you had to find your way back to the other character.

Cole Jennett

That episode was one of the best episodes of television I have ever seen! S.1 E.3 that is

Cole Jennett

Also, you should probably get out of here until you’re caught up. Season 1 spoilers abound

Clay F

Cole, the doctor resisted. Too risky not to shoot the doctor. I respect your comments, but the fact that Joel lied to her about what happened does not change that I 100% agree with what Joel did. I am completely team Joel with respect to the S1 finale.

Cole Jennett

Not me, I bet Ellie given the choice would have made the sacrifice. They were wrong to take the choice away I agree with you on that. Also, I don’t remember the Doctor resisting at all🤷‍♂️.

Dan M

Cole, I watched it right before going to bed…bad idea. I woke up with red, swollen eyes. A brilliant episode.

Ian A

I really enjoyed this so much. I really only know of characters and some major plot points to this pt 2/season, so excited to see a new story. Thank you to Cassie, Husband, and the crew for getting this out so quick. AND SO HELP ME, IF ANYONE SPOILS ANYTHING!!😂

Clay F

Joel pointed the gun at the doctor and told the doctor to unhook her. The doctor replied: "I won't let you take her." Ellie was only 14. Joel rightly did not give her the choice.

zynjams

the game explained why Ellie was immuned. and no serum would have been made.

Cole Jennett

Hindsight is 20/20 but I’d have liked him to force them to wake her up and let her make the call. In that world, she was a lot more grown up then any regular 14 year old.

Chris Thom

Couldn't if I wanted to. Something about killer rabies mushrooms? Or something? Ron Swanson looking sad?

Chris Thom

I haven't seen it either.

Clay F

Good point David. The S1 finale is also troupe of what a parent will do to save their kid.

JC

This will be a show.

John Cranberry

I can't imagine Cassie playing the games? She hasn't played the games right? She doesn't come across as a gamer at all.

AdrianF

Hope this doesn't fall under spoilers. Most of the changes are just in the order of stuff presented so far aren't they? (which I think makes better sense for a TV show anyway). Yes the Gail/Eugene is a new angle into the mix, but nothing major like you say. The biggest change really was seeing the dance at the beginning 'live' rather than at the end of the story as a flashback, which considering it was the trailer for the game it always felt off that that's how they had done it. What's going to be most annoying to me I think is the point where they end this season ("you wasted it"*), which means a long wait that wasn't present in the game. *a Rotten review said that that's where it ends, dunno for sure if that's accurate.

AdrianF

Dan, not everyone likes or wants to play games, absolutely but TLOU2 ripped me to pieces emotionally. It manipulates the player in such a way that no other game I have every played has to the point that many players bounced off it, a lot didn't get close to finishing it and those that did are often reluctant to do what the game requires (it's not a difficult game to play, it's a difficult game to experience). No movie or show can do that to the same extent IMO, but games can definitely get you there. Different media at the end of the day.

AdrianF

Chris, yes with some minor changes and one much more in depth part.

Cole Jennett

I think you have the correct read on her sir

Chris Thom

She's talked about sitting around with boys a lot in school watching them play video games. And then those boys got totally roasted in the comments. lol

Kent

I will never understand why this opinion is so prevalent. What Joel did (both in the game and show) is reprehensible. I understand people want to like Joel and root for the father figure role in Ellie's life. But...there are no mental gymnastics to morally justify slaughtering tons of innocent people to save the life of Ellie, who full well made the choice knowing risk. It was her decision, and her knowing deep down that Joel lied is what fuels the current plot in its entirety. There are no winners in this world, and that's something those who didn't play the game are about to find out. Joel mass murdered a bunch of people and potentially doomed humanity for it. Nobody knows whether Ellie's sacrifice would have led humanity closer to a cure, but that wasn't Joel's decision to make...especially not how he did it.

Clay F

A kid at age 14 is not equipped to make that decision. That is what a parent is for.

OddThomas

I'm not sold on the whole therapy thing they added - Joel in the game would've cut off his own arm before doing something like that. I like Catherine O'Hara but they seemed to change a lot more just in this first episode that the entirety of season 1.

Clarence Newman

I think she was too busy clog dancing to play video games.

Nathan Jasper

Stop comparing. Multiverse. Everything is on the table.

Nathan Jasper

You underestimate kids. SOME kids, sure. But a lot of kids are well-equipped to make these decisions. Parents are less equipped because they will always act on bias. Kids will act on what they feel, which is what SHOULD be done.

TechJJ

I think I might know what you are eluding to. The title of the episode is "Future Days". Those that experience the opening cutscenes know what an emotional scene that was. It's not in episode 1 as it won't fit with the flow. But I don't think there will be a flash back version of it, if the reason is a technicality that the show version moved the timeline up by 10 years. I hope everyone who watched this first episode can watch the game's opening sequence.

Clay F

The 14-year old brain (especially the frontal lobes for rational thought) is way under developed. To suggest that a 14-year old is equipped to make decisions about life and death is absolutely ridiculous.

justin swan

your watching it as a video game than and NOT a show ... hagd

Gray

The Greater Good :D, I personally really enjoyed the second game so am interested in how it will translate to the show. Always difficult dodging spoilers for a show as popular as this so hopefully those of us on here and especially youtube (more lawless i'd say) keep quiet.

Walter

I like Bella Ramsey in roles I’ve seen her in, but she’s not believable as a bad-ass tough girl. Bad-ass attitude - yes. But physically overpowering people? She’s tiny. That opening - pulling his punches or not- was laughable.

Rick Williams

Interesting start to season 2. Ellie is a teenager and thinks she needs no one and can do it all herself and she thinks she is invincible. Joel just needs to let her be and wait for her grow up and realize she can't do it all and does need help sometimes and that is okay. Good reaction Cassie. I was surprised how fast you got this out. Good job.

Rick Williams

Innocent people? They were going to dissect a 14-year-old girl in a million to 1 shot that they may find something in her brain that may be useful. I am with Joel. I would have done the same.

Clay F

Good comment. She's 19, so she's nearly past her teen years.

Bill Maurer

Episode 2 is one of the most singular intense TV episodes I have ever seen
