Interesting. In high german it is ÜBERLEBEN however in the local dialect of the area where I live it is ÜVVERLEVVE.

@@Quotenwagnerianer In Dutch it's OVERLEVEN. Also closely related. :)

[@josequiroz2743]

When you analyze the Sam turning scene, he had asked Ellie to watch him so if he turned she would be ready and get help so he wouldn't hurt her, they probably both fell asleep but he turned away from her and since he couldn't hear, he would wake up turned but without seeing her, he would not attack unless he directly saw her( again Sam not able to hear saved Ellie from being attacked in her sleep), his last act before he turned was to protect Ellie, he was the hero he dressed up as

i thought he was turned away because infected are stimulated by the sun… yours is definitely a nicer thought though!

The bloater even used his ingame kill animation on poor Perry. The attention to detail is crazy in this adaption. Gotta love it.

That reaction of Ellie when Henry shot himself really got me. She is damn good, I would not be surprised if she gets an award for this show.

[@jp1170]

Ive watched so many reaction videos of this episode and every single time I keep rewatching her acting at that moment. Elite stuff

Couldn't agree more, that horror/desperate look in her eyes and the little scream ... WOW

[@IzzyandLuna]

Absolutely perfect acting moment. Bella is great.

[@wllulu]

She's so good

[@HaIcyonic]

Omfg Kat being unable to suppress her Scandinavian urge to call out the Ikea products took me out. To be fair those tables/chairs are iconic lmfao. Always appreciate you guys producing such great content despite being baby-tired

[@Tensen01]

Probably an anachronism, as the KC area didn't get an IKEA until 2014. We only had 23 stores in the whole country in 2003, the nearest being all the way in Houston at the time. And as someone who lived nearby in Colorado at the time, I doubt people in Kansas/Misouri had even HEARD of Ikea in 2003.

[@Dularr]

Ellie whimper as she watches Henry.

[@bowi1332]

Her acting and the acting direction were great! She stole the scene from the moment she jumped out of their bedroom up to those shots with Henry and Joel, which obviously "won" the rest of the scene.

[@mitchmatt6002]

What a rollercoaster ride of emotions this show is - and I agree, knowing what's going to happen doesn't lessen the pain when it all goes down! The acting, writing, cinematography and direction are all SO good! The none day wait for episode 6 is going to feel like forever! Great reactions again!

[@svenr.3803]

Sonny you are hella observant. I know the games inside and out and are also quite good at detecting details in shows. But the bodypile I havent realized until you mentioned it as only reactor so far. Chapeau

[@kevjohn2006]

Even in an episode where the infected (can I please just call them zombies?) killed so many and caused so much destruction, the humans are still the greater evil. Kathleen, due to her obsessive desire for revenge upon Henry, pretty much got what remained of everyone in Kansas City killed. The only negative thought that I can think of for this episode is that Kathleen didn't live long enough to realize what she's done and have deep regrets about it.

[@deanthemachine7489]

A big part of why I’m liking this series so far compared to most post-zombie apocalypse fare is that there isn’t a running dramatic secret between Joel and Ellie that gets dragged out over the season for a big reveal to divide them. Their dynamic seemed to have been fairly well sorted by episode 3 or so and new people every few episodes are the source of the drama. Walking Dead stretched interpersonal secrets as plot elements over whole seasons to the point of exhaustion.

[@gailseatonhumbert]

Thank you. I haven't played the games so I appreciate your care in not giving things away before it happens in the story. The combination of the 2 show runners one from the game and one from Chernobyl has been outstanding in additional creativity. The actor who played Sam is actually deaf and the behind the scenes about working with him is fascinating. They had an ALS (American Sign Language) coach on set. Sam and Henry's story is very tragic and feels like a Shakespeare plot - from Hamlet perhaps? The actors for Joel and Ellie were amazing. Ellie's cry when Henry kills himself and Joel's face as he carries out his sniper's role of protecting Ellie especially from such a distance are both beautiful. Thanks again and I hope you get to sleep a bit more soon.

[@cynth7355]

Another tear-jerker episode. Finally we get to see the Bloater! Kathleen was so hellbent on revenge that she lead all her people to doom. Why would she ignore that bubbling floor in the last episode, so blinded by revenge. Such a glam look Kat! 😻

[@j.f.l.bousquet1998]

Ellie dodging the clickers and the cars and fighting for survival in that crazy scene when they appear from underground made me think about the "Battle of the Bastards" episode from GoT.

[@Rakushi_Snea]

When the infected came up out of the ground, my sister and I both thought of Hardhome. Although I think we call all agree that TLOU is better at the night scenes.

[@sechay9328]

The second we started getting all of Sam and Henry's backstory and interactions early on I immediatly said, "Oh crap, this one is going to be ROUGH."

[@sictarus29]

your reactions are very natural, I love it

[@KatSonny]

Thank you 😊

[@scottlouis]

This episode was great because it showed us both sides of Katherine and Henry. Katherine is dead in her eyes. Her brother meant so much to her. It’s probably what Henry would’ve become had he continued on. 😢😢😢😢

[@lebigbentheory]

absolutely no need to apologize for being a parent! hope all the best, its no doubt the babys got a great life ahead with two good parents

[@bobbiedylan9758]

Congratulations on the new addition to your family 👶🏻 Oh and the Glasses 👊🏾 This chapter of the game truly hit me but the adaptation hit so much more! Tho is show is riveting!

[@thedarkknight2221]

I played the game so even though I pretty much knew what would happen I was still saying like every 10 minutes “wow they’re really twisting that knife already”. Just giving us moments like Sam and Ellie talking about the Savage Starlight comics (which I hope to god Dark Horse comics comes out with a limited series of that comic) and then playing soccer was so beautifully heartwarming. And then we get to the scene I had been dreading throughout the episode which was the night Sam was infected. And they made it EVEN MORE heartbreaking by Ellie trying to heal Sam with his blood and failing. But what really broke me was that the very first time Henry ever kills someone, even if they’re infected, that it was his baby brother. Then ending it with Joel and Ellie burying them, and Ellie writing to Sam “I’m Sorry”.😭😭😭😭

[@eduardoarmenta9232]

Bella did such an amazing job, as well as the actor who plays Sam. I hope the series keep expanding the stories from the games, maybe with that we'll get at least 3 seasons.

[@EvilOdysseus]

Joel being a frightningly good shot should be hightlighted more. He was able to pick off Clickers around Ellie without missing a single shot.

[@IronJawsQC]

And also, something I see very few people point out is that the only shots that Joel "missed" in the series (other than those on the truck in this episode, but let's be honest, those are near impossible to land in real life) was when he was covering for Ellie right after the car crash. As soon as he saw Ellie couldn't see him kill these men, he shot twice, killing both.

[@soundwave2481]

He maxed out the no weapon sway upgrade early lol

[@LucasDimoveo]

He missed the small clicker climbing into the van tho

[@TheRealThunder]

The show moved the events that happened in Pittburgh (game), to Kansas City, likely to show that Joel and Ellie have been on the road for quite some time. Kansas City is about half the distance (walking) from Boston to Jackson, Wyoming (the events where Joel finds his brother Tommy).

[@golfr-kg9ss]

Not being a game player. It was so sad to see how things went for Henry and Sam. I can see why so many people love this game. This story line combined with game play would be fantastic.

[@Tristan_Anderwelt]

Excellent acting by Bella in the scene where Henry shoots himself. Her whimpers instinctively gave me a fatherly urge to hug her The swarm scene is incredible good and creepy

[@diannebdee]

Don't worry Kat, my reaction exactly. I just sobbed like a baby when Sam got infected. Then when Henry had to do what he did.....de-vas-tated. The bloater was the icing on this episode. Like you said Sonny, "Poor Perry." Love you guys and sending love and hugs. Give your son tons of kisses every night. Thanks again.

19:04 "oh my f**K!" lol

[@jeffblue19onTwitter]

Great observation @ 6:27 about love making you do crazy things because Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann said that is the theme of the entire series. Love is powerful and can be very dangerous because people will do ANYTHING in the name of love. Mazin went on to talk about love and hate being two sides of the same coin and how horrific acts of violence, extremism, racism, and xenophobia can almost always be traced back to some kind of idea of love. Kathleen and Henry both exemplify that in their own ways.

[@StinkFingerr]

When Henry asked what He had just done, someone should have told him that He had saved Ellie's Life and spared Sam from a nightmare existance.

[@StinkFingerr]

@Rick King 22 He still needed to hear it.

[@comicandothercons658]

24:11 that blood curdling whimpering/scream Ellie lets out and the look of utter horror on her face, her flinching, as the events of the scene unfolded before her, has haunted me to this day; ".....give me the gun Henry, give me the gun.....HENRY NOOO....!!!!" nobody was ready for this horrific ending, nobody. also, inside of 5 episodes, notice how they have changed places at the ending. in the episode when Tess dies, Joel can be seen walking on from it while Ellie stands there shaken, in this episode, when Joel is finished burying Sam & Henry, Ellie walks on from it while Joel stands there, shaken.

One added detail to the tv-show of these events, that make things even more tragic: Henry explains to Joel that he's never actually killed anyone. His first (and only) kill, ended up being his own brother. Even knowing how the events would go (from the game), it still triggered the waterworks when it played out in the episode.

[@bowi1332]

What worries me the most about catastrophic events from like massive and prolonged power outages (weeks) up to country-ravaging natural disasters, is the abuse of power. I heard stories about police officers who abused other people, or even other refugees/sheltered people who abused more fragile refugees. :( If those TV shows should teach us anything, it's that power and communication should be transparent, bidirectional, and shared. 😬 This helps preventing blind spots and authoritarianism.

[@jatilq]

Nice reaction.

[@MrTiptopten]

When Henry and Sam die, the last sparks of Ellie's childhood hopes and dreams die too. She'll never be who she was before she met them. That Ellie is gone.

[@robsdianten1]

She still had a little spark though... that David turned off. And four years later all the remaining of her spark is gone after the death of one specific character :(

[@TomTomson81]

Ellie and Joel switch sides at the end. That was the Tess moment from episode 2. Ellie runs ahead while Joel is still waiting at the grave. Tess gave Joel a mission he wanted to fulfill as her last wish. The relationship that Joel had with Tess was similar to Ellie and Sam. Ellie promised (unspoken with hope) Sam the cure here and couldn't keep this promise. She now wants to make sure that this never happens again. As Tess said at the time "save who you can save". Ellie really has a mission now. Indirectly get through her feelings of guilt. She wants her blood to work. Before that, she was someone who had no control over anything. Others have determined where she grows up and where she has to go now. "I didn't ask for this" were her words in episode 2. Now that has changed. Now conviction plays a role and she takes control. She wants to save the world so that there are no more Sam's. And while Joel gradually finds his humanity again and lets people into his life again, Ellie loses a little more of herself and she takes the lead here in the end. I think the series showed that more clearly in this way than the game did. In addition, Ellie and Joel have reached a new level of connection with each other. Wordless understanding. Both wanted to save the brothers during the attack. That wasn't Joel's "don't do it Ellie" look. That was the look "I'll give you fire protection Ellie". And Ellie has absolute confidence in Joel. There was also a little joke about the game. The moment when the sniper shot and Henry and Sam senselessly ran out of cover, only to return immediately. This is how Ellie behaved very often in the game. She ran out of cover, right in front of the enemy and then back again. Spoiler Part 2 Game: Oh yes and btw we all hate Kathleen for what she does. She subordinates everything to her revenge. How do we know this? Part 2. A beloved character becomes Kathleen and we loved it.

I think Ellie got a small taste (w/Sam) of what Joel is doing for her. Might make her appreciate him more.

[@acemage1116]

Henry realizing all his choices, good or bad, was all for nothing. And even worse when he was the one who shoot Sam himself. And Ellie´s reaction to it all was like, fuck it, lets get to where we are going and end all of this shit. I´m done, it´s enough! This was something i missed in the game, and i realize that Joel´s choice at the end of the game was confusing for her. It was way more than, just love for here, she was saving the world.
