BRING ON THE PUNS ❤️ | The LAST OF US Episode 4 REACTION | "Please Hold on to My Hand"

[@jeromedutil-martin6823]

Kathleen's bearded Lieutenant, Perry, is played by Jeffrey Pierce, who did the voice and mo-cap for Tommy, in the games.

[@JustMikeBro]

Yeah I was so confused why tommy was with the bad guys but didn’t realize he’s tommy from the game not the tv show 🤦‍♂️ silly me

[@simonrockstream]

@@JustMikeBro Tommy was in the first episode

[@JustMikeBro]

@@simonrockstream yeah I know I just got the actors mixed up

[@simonrockstream]

The military guy with the beard and long hair is Jeffrey Pierce, Tommy's actor from the games

[@jeronwashington1536]

Jeffrey Pierce that plays Tommy in the game is Perry on the show. Melanie Lynskey that plays Rose in Two And a Half Men plays Kathleen

I love this show. Not only is it week by week, which lets it sink in, but it is close to the game but different enough to keep us fans of the game interested. Perry, the bearded soldier (aka Tommy from the game aka Jeffrey Pierce) was my highlight in this episode. I had a big smile on my face everytime he was on screen.

20:50 Yeah, I liked how they handled that in the show as well! In the game, Joel projected his anger at himself onto Ellie 'cause he was mad at himself after Ellie was forced to save him by killing someone. If you go back to that scene, Joel's isn't mad until Ellie says, "I feel sick", that's when the tone in his voice shifts and he displays some anger towards her, until he eventually apologises and thanks her in his own way. In the show, you can tell he's mad at himself as well after Ellie's forced to save him by shooting Bryan, but instead he tries to console her and apologises for putting her in that position, was a nice touch, I appreciate both counterparts (show and game scene), and I agree with both your thoughts about the scene

[@BadassRaiden]

The moment Kathleen's right hand man opened his mouth I recognized his voice instantly ☺️

[@needfood3052]

Gosh imagine how mad you gotta be to kill a Doctor, in the Apocalypse......... Edit: Neil Durkman in the behind the scenes said that he LOVES humanizing villains. Like everyone has their own motivations, people to protect. And the thing I love about this is that NOBODY'S hands are clean.

[@SidPhoenix2211]

I loved the choice to focus on Ellie's reaction when she shot Bryan. And I LOVED the choice to drag out Bryan's demise. It'd a perfectly horrible creative choice. And after giving Ellie a VERY Taxi-Driver-"you talking to me?"-esque moment in that bathroom, the Bryan scene shattered her power fantasies by showing her just how ugly and messy actual violence is. It gave off a lot of TLoU2-gameplay vibes (as you guys noticed with the NPC chatter).

[@TomTomson81]

I found it very interesting that Ellie's question in the car about Tommy was really answered in the staircase in the house. In the car, there was only the one-sided view of Tommy's life from Joel's perspective of the protective brother. In the staircase the picture was then completed. Tommy has attacked, robbed and killed too many more or less innocent people with Tess and Joel. That's why he left Joel and Tess for the Fireflys. He then left the Fireflys for similar reasons. Violence without results. Basically, he wanted to be a hero 3 times and each time he was disappointed. Joel thinks Tommy needs him to survive. He thinks he needs to take care of Tommy, but Joel needs Tommy more than Tommy needs him. For Joel, it looks like Tommy doesn't know where he stands. But Tommy knows what he wants and if nobody gives him that and everyone around him are nefarious murderer, then he leaves these people and looks for new ones in the hope of bringing positive change. While Joel stuck with this lifestyle. As I understand it, Henry here is a snitch and responsible for Kathleen's brother death by betrayal. I guess he betrayed them because Fedra threatened Sam. I think Kathleen's brother was the leader of the resistance movement and she was probably the mom of the troops. That's the only reason I can imagine why the group follows her at all, so insecure and focused on revenge she seems. The bottom line is that she has absolutely understandable reasons. Just as good reasons as anyone else on the show and Joel wouldn't do anything else. In fact he did the same. Shows again that no group is good or bad. Joel executed a teenager here, not a adult. He was paralyzed, screaming for his mother begging for his life. There was no need to execute him. Joel knew his comrades were coming, he was no danger. What could he have revealed? It was a man and a child and that's it. Would have been even better, because now they believe they were mercenaries on Henry's behalf. A husband and a child might have interested Kathleen as much as the crater in the basement. Not at all. Joel's poor hearing has been shown throughout the episode. He always sleeps on the right side and Ellie often had to repeat when she called Joel. He didn't hear Henry and Sam because he hadn't slept the night before and because he had laid down on his good ear in his sleep. The only criticism so far is really the lack of brutality shown by Joel, because that is very important. Firstly, Joel was brutal and ruthless and secondly it's important for the second season. I think it is a mistake not to show this in all its brutality. The show still has to improve and I hope it will be later. It just has to. Btw... I still believe that Ellie pocketed the two grenades that fell at her feet when Tess had her heroic death. And the Bloater under the crater will eat them.

[@SidPhoenix2211]

In an episode full of great moments my favorite moment was when Joel stood guard at night so that Ellie would sleep soundly. They also played a bit of music from the games that I love VERY much. (Spoilers for the game) It plays during Winter, when Ellie brings back penicillin.

[@pedromarques2077]

ust to point out that the guy who you said looked like a trained killer is actually Tommy's voice actor in the game. ;)

[@paigenoelle02]

perry (the big guy with the beard with kathleen) is played by the game tommy!!

[@Dankergold]

Episode 5 is going to be interesting. Great video

[@PrimarchEldarAutarch]

Great review!

[@jaysundae]

Yeah, most of the gameplay is not directly relevant to the story anyway, so there's no point in keeping all the gameplay bits in, makes sense to keep the action scenes that are directly relevant to the narrative instead. And they've also added more realism to the action and the characters, which is nice to see. The game is also only 12-15h depending on your playstyle, so once you trim down most of the gameplay segments, it actually is enough to cover all the story beats as well as most of the key dialogues during gameplay, so I'm glad, and I can't wait to see how the rest of the season unfolds

[@jaysundae]

This was a great episode, some solid character and relationship development, but I can't wait for the next episode tonight! *SPOILER* . . . It's most likely going to be a devastating episode, I'm ready to cry.

[@angryfisherman1896]

Cool

I'm really hoping for more infected in season 2!!!
