Ellie: "I'm scared of ending up alone." Between the action scenes and the intense emotions this was another amazing episode. We fell in love with Henry and Sam and their relationship. Their tragic ending signed up another progression in Joel and Ellie's relationship.

19:55. Not even 2 weeks ago, Kathleen's Militia killed all of FEDRA in Kansas City for the freedom of the people. But, her quest for revenge against Henry for getting her brother killed resulted in her, Perry, & most of her militia getting killed by this Horde of Infected. So, now there is hardly anyone left to defend the city as the Horde makes its way towards it.

[@Martyntd5]

Totally agree with your comments Rob ...it's the relationship building that is soo good in this show. I am super-concerned about season 2 & 3 though. If you've played TLoU2, then you know what I mean. All the way through I was screaming no, no, you just wouldn't, no, no, this is ridiculous, no no no! I think unless I hear some really positive reviews, I might just leave it at season one and call it done.

[@Martyntd5]

@@jessetorres8738 ///But, her quest for revenge against Henry.../// The way this show/game depicts revenge is the one issue I have with it, it's almost childish. I understand her hate, but I cant imagine anyone being so obsessed with revenge that they would make such obviously stupid choices ...and I especially cant imagine others going along with it. I know Henry turned her brother in, but you can understand why. He wasn't evil. Would anyone really pursue Henry in that way? I mean I understand the hate Maggie must feel for Negan in TWD, but she would never throw her whole community under the bus just to get Negan. It's nonsensical. Perry should have shot Kathleen, taken over the group and dealt with the issue in the basement.

I've discovered this series is about a toxic man (everyone he associates with dies) trying to get a semi-toxic kid across the country while leaving a trail of bodies in their wake ...

[@Martyntd5]

@@StaceyToth1212 That's one way of looking at it. Another is that you take a damaged orphan girl and a damaged father, and together they travel through hell to try and save humanity, while along the way, they heal each other. Isn't that beautiful?

[@rockzhard2009]

i'm really glad HBO is putting in the money necessary to make these as good as they are. awesome show. good job guys.

[@mikecheeriot2650]

Sam's innocent face and the noises he makes is so adorable. His death hit me harder than the video game. :( I thought they would switch things around and keep those two alive longer since they did the opposite with Bill and killed him off. It would have been interesting if Henry and Sam made it to part 2.

[@_e11e_78]

I would have loved to see more of them too, but at the same time Joel and Ellie's relationship and journey wouldn't be as impactful if they had others travelling with them.

[@wendyc1902]

Such a great episode. Inside the episode for this one is real good as well. I have a new found love for Pedro from this episode and how intense he is while protecting Ellie with the rifle shots. I dont know what it was, but he showed fear, desperation, and intensity without saying a word.

[@rumham7466]

This one has been my favorite so far. So much excitement and emotion. And this one has me bawling at the end.

[@BewareTheJabberwock]

In the official podcast, the host, Troy Baker, (who voiced Joel in the game,) got choked up when he started talking about the end part with Sam sitting on the bed. 🥺 The podcast is AMAZING. I highly recommend it as a good listen after you watch each episode.

[@TAYI0R1]

Even though I knew what was going to happen, the deaths still breaks my heart. It hurts even more knowing that it was his first time killing an infected/human, but Henry couldn't live knowing that it was his own baby brother.

The bloater reveal was so good

[@DashingDavid]

Idk if anyones told y’all yet but they have a podcast for the show. It’s hosted by Troy Baker (voice of Joel) & has both Neil Druckman (director & writer of TLOU) & Craig Mazen (does pretty much everything on the show). They’re on KZbin pretty much right after each episode ends. They give A LOT of insight into each episode.

I had forgotten about that with intros in this decade. In the 80s every show had an intro. then they starting just showing the episode like you said.

[@SakuraPixie]

Did Rob just say Boomer when referring to the Bloater when it first appears? 😂

[@robtrinreact2825]

Yeah it was a instant reaction 😅but yeah in the outro we had the name right 😊

[@SakuraPixie]

@@robtrinreact2825 absolutely figured it was a tongue-tied giddy moment (Rob's eyes truly looked like a kid on Christmas morning). Made me laugh before the rest of the heartbreak sinks in XD

[@One-qb6yv]

Im somoene who doesnt know the story of the last of us and watching this episode it made me an emotional wreck legit what an episode my god... but i can go back to the moment Joel says "do you trust me" and listen to that all day this actor so good man

[@kaitlynadkins7790]

I just finished the episode before I came here and I screamed when the 1st gunshot happened when Ellie was talking because I wasn't expecting it lol. But I screamed way louder when the infected came out of the hole and from that huge one I'm gonna have nightmares lol. And I cried when Sam showed Ellie he was bit I didn't think they would kill a kid :(

[@BrokenNoah]

No tears. Only dreams.

[@saintwolfie9108]

In TLOU podcast's first episode, Craig Mazin, Neil Druckmann & Troy Baker (Joel in the game) talked about this story base line being: unconditional love is a dangerous thing. Craig talks specifically about paternal love being primal and how it can lead to the most intence violence, and yes they were talking about Joel and Ellie here, but Henry IS a parallel and I love that. Him, another fatherly figure, non violent at all, having his first kill being his baby brother, out of panic, it's just heartbreaking. Just like Joel said on episode 4, you keep going for family only.

[@grim8410]

fun fact: perry died to how a bloater kills in the game which i think is a nice touch since he voices tommy

[@TheSansationalSans]

I liked how they included the section from the sewers with the drawings on the walls. That was part of the game. I bunch of people were hiding out in the sewers to survive. There were lots of children there, but then the infected got in and everyone died. There was some very good environmental story telling in that section. Lots of bodies with notes. Lots of infected as well in that section though, which they changed. They had a section where Ellie and Henry were cut off from Joel and Sam and so the adults had to protect the other's child. That was a fun section. Also, I am so glad the bloater made an appearance finally. It was supposed to be fought with Bill during his section of the game, but obviously, Joel and Ellie never met Bill in this version, but I though skipping a whole infected type would be strange.

[@robnewsome2407]

They are doing such a great job of staying with the game yet expanding on it and making it even more powerful, when changes are made, they are just more impactful. Showing the human side of villains and more obscure characters. It's kind of foreshadowing what we know happens in part 2 of the game. Her talking about kids die then Henry did all this for nothing. It didn't hit me at the time until the end. They are putting so many little Easter eggs in. It will be next season I'm guessing but I can't wait for the group they run into in the winter. Trying not to say to much😂

[@RockFan89]

Kathleen was erie as Rose in Two and a Half men as well. Shes good at odd characters. 🤣

[@darlenereed4975]

And I thought epi 3 was sad. This was heartbreaking.

[@Haplo-san]

Skye Cowton who played the clicker girl was amazingly horrifying.

[@nukiesduke6868]

Yeah you can tell who's lived in a QZ their entire life and whose had to be out in the wild struggling to survive. You have Joel knowing how to survive, what to do and is being cautious. Then you have those two saying "see it's all good" and talking at nighttime attracting attention.

[@spooniesworld]

I like how you explain what is same/different than the game BUT without spoiling any potential future plots. ☺💚

[@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. An interesting feature of the show so far is that real brutality is only shown to us when Ellie sees it. We see Joel beating the soldier to death in episode 1 because Ellie is there and sees it. Ellie tortures and kills the stalker in episode 3. We see Joel's sniper kills because Ellie sees them. We see Henry's death, Sam being shot and Kathleen's death. With all other killings (Old Sniper, Bryan) you only hear it because the camera is focused on Ellie while she doesn't see these killings herself.

[@spooniesworld]

Tunnels +Fungus apocalypse= A Heck No from me!!!😳

[@Holborovv]

I don't get how Fedra would drive the infected underground, how would they even do that?

[@RachelKDS]

I cried so hard when we lost Henry and Sam 💔💔💔

[@SaidiLouise]

I remember Kathleen or Melanie, from two and a half Men. She was great on that show. She's great on this show too!

[@oskarprotzer3000]

I like the post apocalyptic scenarios the most, for me they could make something with infected every year in a different show :D Of course I get bored of a show, but not really of the scenario

[@jmwild1]

Joel didn't die once trying to get to the sniper, 0/10. Seriously though, another amazing story. I might be a little biased being born and raised in Kansas City (we rarely get to see our city represented in entertainment media). They're really hammering in the theme of revenge in this one. Kathleen is fine with killing Ellie and Sam because she thinks they'll be just as vengeful as she is regarding her brother's death, if she kills Henry and Joel. It's a theme I wasn't thinking we'd touch on till the second season (if you know, you know).

[@bulat_shams]

Joel probably didn't die, because snipers main objective was keep an eye on Henry and Sam and and keep them alive till Kathleen arrives. He probably thought, that it's more important than saving himself. Plus he's old, maybe he indeed was bad shooter

[@jmwild1]

@@bulat_shams I was making a game-related joke.

I was kinda hoping they were going to keep Sam alive, but just like the game they got killed, which is fine, but we can hope 😭😭. Such an amazing episode.

Are you trying to destroy your nerve system by watching this and TWD 7×1 back to back?

And having to edit these not long after watching them, have to say it's hard on the nerve system undeed.

[@nomchompsky2883]

Something i really am starting to notice is characters tend to last an episode in this show, real different than impactful characters of TWD who tend to last many episodes unless they're truly throw away characters. i'm loving the stepped up creatures of this show.

[@robnewsome2407]

Yes, the game deals more with one on one personal relationship while the comic focuses more on the group with Rick being the leader, I would say more about it but don't want to spoil either on of them for anyone

~Trin, one day it will happen, but yeah for now technically it's easier for us like this recording from different countries :)

[@TrentRidley]

I wish we got more background on Kathleen because I really struggled to buy into her as a leader in this world. I'm OK with her being an unlikely leader, maybe even a reluctant one, but in any political/social movement there are always going to be various factions vying for control and people lining up to take leadership. As such, to buy into her as leader I think I really needed to see how she was elevated to or took leadership following her brother's death and how she maintained it. It would have been good to see how she brought about change (the overthrow of FEDRA) where her brother had failed.
