and the moment that really gave my goosebumps was when she tells Joel to "save who you can save" and you see those two people in Joel; First…the man, who loves Tess and is currently running through all their memories. all their time together. Then, there is the other Joel, the one that was born the night Sara died. the Endure and Survive, do whatever it takes, shut it off and feel things later, Joel. just....wow. all conveyed in his eyes. just....goosebumps. these characters are amazing

The characters, yes, but we also have to give major props to the actors in this show, who sell all of this stuff in a way that's so believable and genuine. I've never watched Game of Thrones or The Mandalorian so, while I know who he is, I've never seen Pedro on screen before, but with this show I see what the hype around him is all about. He's such a phenomenal actor and I look forward to seeing more of him.

I watched the podcast with the creator on HBO KZbin channel and they said something interesting. When the infected comes, they ignore her because they know she is already infected. The one that see her is only trying to 'connect' her even further into the horde and she is somewhat captivated by this because of the infection. She is fighting to stay human so that she can light up the gas, but it become more and more difficult. When she drop the lighter, this is when her humanity is gone, but luckily it light up to destroy them all.

I love how smart they are with words in this show. When Tess says "I never asked anything from you, not to feel the way that I feel..." we learn things not only about her (that she is willing to love, hope and overall to be open again, after the horrors of the breakout and the years to follow) but also things about Joel. We know him as that hardened man, who cut himself off from his positive emotions, he was so hurt, that he isn't open to hope, or in this case love again. He needs Tess but he doesn't let himself love and Tess is such an amazing person, that she's okay with that, she is willing to wait and just be there for him. That whole sequence was amazing and so much better than in the game.

This one seemed to effect you. It reminds me of when my father passed. Just turned 80 and the cancer came back. He decided he couldn't fight anymore. Didn't want to do more chemo. The doctor did well in telling him it is OK. That he didn't lose the fight. We had to accept that it was his choice. His right. His journey. We made a promise of no regrets and no if onlys. I wouldn't have missed that time. I learned a lot about death. Had my moment with him (as I was moving a chair in his bedroom he woke up and just winked at me). Helped my mom through it all (she told other after I was her rock) How I wish we taught more about dealing with death.

I feel like the whole back half of this episode proves how well Tess knows Joel - even as she's dying, she knows what she needs to tell him so that he and Ellie can get clear. Yes, he may not love her as much as she loves him, but that didn't stop her from seeing what makes him tick. The podcast talks about her backstory, she lived with her husband and son before the outbreak and they both succumbed to the infection. She was able to mercy-kill her husband, but she had to lock her son away. I figure part of her continuing to push and push and push is for Ellie's sake - if she can buy this other young kid even just a little more time, maybe it's worth it.

Knowing her backstory adds to the meaning of the “save who you can save” line, too. Neither she nor Joel could save their children (or her spouse), but they can save this one child. He can save Ellie for her.

@lovemyamunition Жыл бұрын
I have to slightly disagree on her motivation being simply to save Ellie. That's a secondary motivation at best for her in my opinion. I think it is much more heavily implied that she wants redemption for all of the terrible things she's had to do to survive. She desperately wants to help with the potential cure. If she didn't die she would have tried to take Ellie anywhere she needed to go with or without Joel (not saying Joel would ever abandon Tess) but if it were Tess in Joel's place I think she would have let the fireflies kill Ellie for the greater good.

Joel's small step away speaks to me of more than fear--thought that is definitely there. It seems to me it's also protection: If he's going to lose her, he can't let her get any closer, and that also finds physical expression in that involuntary backward step.

There was some cut backstory for Tess where she had a husband and child, but both got infected. She killed her husband, but she couldn’t kill her son and so left him locked in a basement where he assumedly he’s either still alive or has grown into the wall like the one Tess was frightened by in episode 1. Also Neil and Craig talked about this moment and how Tess’ moment with the infected was one of perserverence. As it goes in to fully turn her into one of them and she’s desperately flicking the lighter while remaining as still as she can to not provoke them into killing her before she can light it. In that moment as it does that to her, she’s losing hope. She’s actually giving in to it. But what I think is so beautiful is how it represents her life in a way, the way Joel and Ellie leave her, doing what she can in the name of survival but she’s given up on hope, she’s a shitty person and she’s resigned herself to that. But then this one flicker of hope arrives with Ellie and for that last day, especially those last few hours, those moments, she finds that hope again even as everything’s gone to shit.

The concept of mental cycling (of thoughts) and the need to stay busy to prevent it makes so much sense to me. It's something I've experienced over the past 2 months and if I have moments to myself where I'm doing nothing then it spirals into something very dark, with suicidal ideation being frequent. These videos may just be reactions to most, but to me they're extremely informative and help me enormously.

There are people giving the show stick over the "kiss," but if Tess had confronted the infected aggressively with the little time she had left, she would have agro'd more than just the one, excited her infection and turned faster, or been torn apart before she could have lit the lighter and given Joel and Ellie the time they needed to book it out of there. It was a strong character moment for a genuinely strong character, the visible terror on her face was humanizing and kept the scene grounded. A fantastic piece of acting.

I admit I was the same too. As someone who played the game, I’m very skeptical of video game adaptations. They’re very hard to get “done right”. But the TLOU is hitting that ‘correctness’ of following the source material and sometimes altering off the path of the main game, i.e.: Ep. 3. HBO, with aid and input from Drukkman (forgive my spelling), I’m really enjoying the show. The third episode made my boyfriend cry, mind you has not played the games. I have some kind of hope with this series.

On a sidenote from psychological - or maybe calling it ethological would me more proper - point of view it is interesting to see how the infected were not aggresive with Tess when they realized she is nonhostile. It shows that the parasite infecting them is not instructing them to be killers, it is instructing them to get closer to and infect new hosts. To the infected approaching Tess the movements were almost intimate (that's what makes it so gross and visceral), showing that the basic instincts these creatures have are probably dominated more by oxytocine than adrenaline or cortisol or any other transmitters/hormons related to fight or flight. And when they see someone who is a valid host but noncooperative they get frustrated and change into that hyperreactive mode with the short bursts of aggressive motions.

I found the Infected "kissing" her at the end almost ironic in a way. Or maybe just insult to injury. She says before this to Joel "I never asked you to feel how I felt" implying there that she loves him, and was looking for intimacy from him this whole time and never got it back. He's called 'her man' in the first episode, but that felt more like a gang member/leader comment at the time. They are just two people trauma-bonding, but not intimate in a way where they can be vulnerable around one another. They aren't a couple, and they don't become something bigger than the individual parts. So when Joel just leaves her, he says nothing. No confessions of love. He just leaves. And I read her reaction to that as "wow...That's it? That's all I get?" And as she's being consumed by this thing, it leans in and "kisses" her in the most sinister way. Pulling her into this collective mind and making her part of that bigger organism. A twisted form of the thing she'd been asking Joel for.

It was such a powerful episode and, as you said, that final scene / interaction felt like an intimate assault. I suspect it hit harder for women than men, given the statistics showing such high percentages of women experience assault. It felt like an extra level of assault on humanity (which, to me, Tess represented by “save who you can”) so the third episode, with its arc back to humanity & love eased that anxiety.

When talking about people who have to be used to death is something people commonly misunderstand about our own past. The middle ages for one were a time, when (infant) mortality was so high, people were dealing with death commonly and had to become de-sensitised (sometimes even to a cynical degree) to it, which is something we just do not have to deal with anymore. I find the prospect that "modern" people would have to be faced with that again to be pretty dreadful. also - ..... that ending. 😵😵🥶

I actually hate that Joel stepped back when Tess approached him. Yes, it's in the game but they're kind of having different relationship in the game and in the show.

Hey Georgia could you react to Bluey?? It does such a good job at tackling hard subjects in a way that kids can understand and it’s all done so beautifully!! 💙

In my experience,Georgia...when bad things happen, and they are absolutely no fault of your own...They are imposed upon your life by the evil acts and designs of others...Then...your choice...at THAT time...your OPPORTUNITY...is to choose how you will react. making life better for others is a great choice. So I can relate to Tess. I can also relate to Joel in how he...just does. = )

Great video, I really think the episode was great but for me the last scene in between Tess and Joel was way more impactful in the game, the performances of the actors from the game on that scene create way more tension. I like more the Tess in the game than in the show. In the game Tess was clearly the driving force, but it doesn't feel the driving force in the show, for me at least.
