Burn in hell, a$$hole.

Terry Yelmene

From zero-to-ten, every single minute of this extraordinarily exceptional series has been a solid 10+! However, for me, this penultimate episode, and the purposeful placement of 'religion' as the most humanly disturbing 'evil'. the most humanly disgusting 'evil' and 'David' as the embodiment of 'religion'... RELIGION the 'Greates EVIL' ever invented by mankind... well that pushes this miraculous series to a 20!!!!!!!!

Trey Porter

The guy who was David's sorta "second in command" was Troy Baker who played Joel in the video games.

Luis Infante

This episode is so good, so good in fact that it can make a grown man cry. But not this man. Get back in there tear.

And it was interesting that TV Ellie is the one who kills TV James/Video Game Joel.

There are scenes from various episodes I rewatch again and again. One is the Bill & Frank lunch & piano scene from ep3. Another is going to be the scene in this episode when Joel calls Ellie "Baby Girl," & his watch is in full view during their hug.

Such a pivotal part of Ellie’s story arc. In the game it’s the first time you play as Ellie for an extended period of time, but in the story it’s the first time Ellie saves herself at a terrible cost to her psyche. But in the end gains that confidence to know she can survive if she finds herself on her own again.

And I love how you had your “Soylent Green is people” moment. Lol

Spoiler alert for people who haven't seen the '60s Twilight Zone episode: (scroll down) .................................................................................................................................................................... I was also reminded of "To Serve Man."

Tony Ngo

very insightful on the types of drama/trauma in this show. I really hope you do a post season wrap up reaction and analysis.

Russell Roberts

I really liked the fact that Joel didn't save Ellie, she saved herself.

Your observation about shooting David through the bars is something I hadn't realized when I was watching. It's those sorts of observations that make your reactions so interesting!

Michael G. Munz

Not to mention that I admire your ability to censor yourself The Good Place-style. I'm so bad at that. :D

Movie Night

Yes! It's unfortunate that it just keeps putting more trauma on her, but I'm so proud of her, and the writers for giving her that power.

Movie Night

Haha touché! I can't remember the last time I screamed at the TV like that, so I have to give them mad props for that 😅

Movie Night

Both beautiful moments of humanity in a series about people losing theirs 😊

Movie Night

Makes sense! It's hard to watch, but makes you oddly proud at the same moment.

Not sure if you/others interpreted it this way or not, but when David said to the girl "you will always have a father" I don't think he was referring to himself per se, he meant God (that'd be the only one who is 'always' there). And when James (his right hand man, our boy Troy :D) said "maybe that's God's will" I don't think he was just upset that they wanted to Ellie dead and he didn't, as a preacher he sees himself (or at least portrays himself) as the voice of God or smth, so it was basically a personal insult/sign that James may have lost faith after all, like he mentioned earlier in the episode ("I need to know you're with me")

Floor B

You said smth like "Ellie is entering the phase Joel is leaving", about how Joel is softening and forming connections again, slowly; how she is more hardened after every bit of trauma, learning both to survive AND endure. That is definitely a beautiful and accurate way to look at it I feel, sad of course but very true. Great reaction once again. This was the one episode where I was REALLY curious how first-timers would react, not knowing beforehand just makes for a whole different journey, grasping a bit more of what's going on every 10 minutes, bit by bit, darker and darker. We didn't get to see the whole group David was leading in the game, just him and James and lots of guys with guns that you had to kill or sneak past, mostly playing as Ellie but switching to Joel and back later on. Besides some small adjustments, it's mostly accurate to the game I'd say. P.s. the most NERVE-RACKING sequence in the whole game for me was the diner scene at the end. You had to sneak around as Ellie, making sure to move slowly and not to step on things that would alert him. I was so relieved that I didn't have to push the buttons this time lol cause honestly when playing the game I just 'endured and survived' that part xD
