[@joshuabarnett88]

The misconception is that this was a tragic end. This is the only true happy ending we will probably see in the show. They got to go out together, happy and on their own terms.

[@roaaoife8186]

For real- they grew old together and died peacefully in their sleep. That's as happy an ending as any of us could get.

[@Kiraj8de]

In this version, Bill and Frank got 16 happy years together. In an apocalypse, that is unheard of. Having an ending so fueled by their love for one another is just the cherry on top. They died feeling safe and loved. 💜 Their ending was beautiful, not tragic.

[@danieljette7409]

What do you mean “getting old”? We’re only talking about 20 years!

[@martinenotmartini9935]

They got years of happiness together, and they got to leave on their own terms. There were more good days than there were bad ones. And to me, I think that's more than enough. The love was there, however short on the cosmic scale, but it WAS there. And that's the important bit.

yeah I love when tv shows slow down and give room for their characters to really develop and become more fleshed out. i dislike the fast paced ones tbh, that was my one problem with House of the Dragon

[@zacharyjackson1829]

the point of the series is to show us the beauty of nature and the human soul despite a horrible apocalypse. A lot of people will complain that they skipped two chapters in the game for this but i think this was an incredible alteration of the material that made Bill way better as a person. There's also those minority of people that say this is just grooming kids but hey homophobia can go eat a d%ck :D

[@Human_6181]

Thanks 🤧

[@tkinsey3]

"I was never afraid until you showed up." I'm wrecked.

[@jimsonw]

What made this episode so brilliant for me were the subtle details: The almost shot for shot remake of their first meal together, followed by the reveal that Bill now sits next to Frank. The placement of Frank's paintings, visible as Joel and Ellie enter the house. The realization that Bill placed and planned everything for Joel to find prior to his final dinner with Frank. That Bill and Frank marry each other next to the piano where they shared their first kiss. The pain Frank feels as Bill wheels him over the threshold. And the one that murdered me the most: after establishing, in the night raid, that their bedroom is upstairs, it is revealed that due to Frank's illness, they'd moved into the downstairs bedroom. All of the memories that took place up those stairs, and Bill was happy as long as he was in the same room as Frank. This was truly one of the most beautifully acted, written, directed, and shot episodes of television I've seen in life.

[@MisterNive]

Excellent use of 'show don't tell'

[@studioatiko]

The detail of the front door closing when Joel cracks the door to the bedroom with the open window causing draft.

[@dan_noo]

damn, i really missed that move bedroom! he did change it so its easier to tuck in Frank to his bed, also noticed how precious the Strawberry scene are cause the first garden scene of Bill he clearly doesn't have a skill set for growing a good crops

[@ericericson4885]

Loved the fact that when Frank and Bill were arguing about restoring the town, I pointed out how Frank looked identical to game-Joel, beard, shirt, everything. Then later on, sure enough, Joel grabs those exact clothes after his shower. Loved it, just like every minute of this episode.

[@timothybrown5999]

Wow, good catch

[@msdurden1355]

Eagle eye right there 🤯

[@agentsculder2451]

One of the little things I loved (that made be cry like a baby) was Frank wanting to get married. Marriage equality never became a thing in this world because of the apocalypse, but he still wanted that before he died. Just beautiful all the way around.

[@argella1300]

And since the outbreak happened in fall 2003, Massachusetts was just a few months away IRL from passing marriage equality (spring 2004)

[@testfire3000]

I think this is one of the most beautiful things about this episode.

[@judeless77]

It was legal, just not in the states because we’re terrified of women in power and same sex couples that are loving members of society.

[@backtoearth1983]

One absolutely gut wrench that takes a time to realize... While Bill makes sure they both die, he only has the wine from the bottle. Frank has the bottle and the extra. Bill made sure Frank died first so he could take care of his last moments.

[@whyarepeoplethewaythattheyare]

Oh wow, I thought I was through it, and now I’m crying fresh tears. This has ruined me - thank you.

[@CaptainPikeachu]

I always feel like noting that since the outbreak happened in 2003, federal same sex marriage that came in 2015 never happened in this world, yet this show still managed to give us a story of two older gay men falling in love and living a full life together and getting to make choices on their own terms in a world where suffering is the default. It’s so powerful.

[@__-fm5qv]

I also like how they treated a gay relationship as just that, a relationship. Normally in TV and media they like to hammer home the fact they're gay so much they forget to actually build the characters and relationships. Here, it's just two guys that fall in love and build a life together, it really is that simple. And it's one of the most genuine and moving romantic stories I've seen in a while as a result!

[@smashbrandiscootch719]

In older houses, especially ones built in the country if you have the windows open and one door closes it'll create a draft. That's why the door to the bedroom closed when the front door did. It was a brilliant stylistic choice, knowing that Bill and Frank are dead inside there, it was almost as if it were Bill and Frank saying, "No, Joel. You don't want to see this." Fucking BRILLIANT. I could write a paper on this episode alone.

[@davis.fourohfour]

Unfortunately Joel did smell what blew out of that room as the door closed. He knew.

[@smashbrandiscootch719]

@@davis.fourohfour Oh with that breeze he for sure did.

[@B-Dad]

Pretty sure he said in the note that he closed and locked the door, so don’t come in. The whole point was to close that room off and leave the window opened so the house wouldn’t smell to high heaven of death. Leaving it open until they came wouldn’t really help much if at all even with windows open because you never know the directions the wind will blow.

[@thedarkknight2221]

This felt like a movie that I guarantee would be on every critic’s shortlist for best picture at the Oscars. I cried once every 15 minutes this entire episode. It’s honestly one of the most beautiful and emotionally powerful episodes of tv I’ve ever seen. Neil Druckman said in the BTS video after the episode that he and Craig Mazin had this philosophy on the show was “when should we deviate and when should we come back, if it’s kinda the same or worse then they stay (completely faithful to the game), if it’s better we deviate”. I’m SO DAMN HAPPY THEY DEVIATED! And I’m so happy that it ended with them dying together instead of Bill just forever bitter and living alone like in the game. Also I loved the Mortal Kombat 2 cameo. And of course Ellie’s favorite character would be Mileena. Tragically yesterday Annie Wershing who played Tess in the game passed away at 45 due to cancer. So when they showed the flashback with Tess and Joel I cried. Rest In Peace Annie Wershing.❤❤

In a little over 3 months we've been given this episode of The Last of Us, and episode 12 of Andor. What a great time to be alive!

[@CleoCat75]

omg, you guys look like Frank and Bill, lol. Nice reaction :)

[@PILLGATESUBEEZY]

I'm happy I am not the only one who cried their eyes out. What a show.

[@leonbrooks2107]

That was an incredible performance from Nick Offerman and Murray Bartlett. Yeah it was a change but I’d say definitely a change for the better. The Last Of Us keeps kicking me in the gut all over again and I absolutely love it. What a story!

[@joelleblanc8670]

When I first saw this episode I immediately thought of Jay and Adam and thought "Oof, this gonna be RUFF"

[@DocHikes]

I knew you guys would find this beautiful! Been waiting for this all day. Glad you were able to get it up!

[@michaelrodger]

You both being so real and vulnerable in your videos are extremely uplifting and helpful to me. Thank you!! Some times I gotta see another guy cry to cry cry

[@DrummerRF]

i think its the best tv ive ever seen in my life. this should win so many awards

[@danielgagne9485]

It feels good to know I'm not the only one who ugly cried most of the episode 😭 It hurts being so... human. And it just hurts a little more now that I have no one to pet me in the back while I'm sad about it 🥺

[@DBillings68]

This episode broke my heart in the best way possible.

[@tsitonio]

I don't know how many times I've watched this reaction and I cry with you guys every time.

[@Maulinator69]

Not only is it probably one of the best hours of TV ever, but it'll also emotionally F**K YOU UP FOR LIFE!!! 😭😭😭

[@Rutabaga64]

I just want to tell you how much I love both of your and your friendship, you guys are the best. I still haven't recovered from this episode, it was so unexpected and so well done. Just absolutely amazing.

[@Cdcd4393]

Bill and Frank got to go out on their own terms and not by some shroombies. This was probably the best episode of TV I hope its not forgotten by the end of the year when it's Emmy time

[@LuluEierbaer]

You know guys, I am usually really fed up with reaction content, but it was such a wholesome experience to whatch you two go trough all the emotions I experienced while watching this episode, I cried with you all over again! Thank you!!!

[@meredithmiller504]

I have been waiting for this reaction all day. I knew you guys were both going to just...lose it. Beautifully directed and masterfully acted. I laughed when Adam asked for the zombies back lol

[@TheOnlyHawkeye666]

This is the love story we never knew we needed........such an odd couple story but God did this hit as hard as the opening of Up, but in a zombie apocalypse

[@delawarebratboi]

We got Bill and Frank for 1 episode and I'm going to miss them so much throughout the series! What a beautiful story!

[@erinnelanglois6573]

Y’all’s was the reaction I was waiting for. Thank you for sharing in the feels with us ❤

[@DaveJMcGarry]

This show should win all the awards. Simply stunning TV

[@thenecrosanct4906]

Don't worry, Adam. I watched it twice as well (this being the second time) and seeing you guys in tears had me bawling all over again. This episode hit so close to home for me after the Ten Years Later mark. I lost my husband last year. He had an incurable condition just like Frank (early onset Alzheimer's) and chose euthanasia as well. We also couldn't live the life we wanted due to the pandemic lockdowns (granted, not as severe as in the show, but it still feels a lot more familiar post-pandemic). Travel, museums, theater, all things he loved we couldn't do, but at least we had each other. He was divorced and never wanted to marry again, but 2 months after he announced his choice for euthanasia he asked me to marry him, which we did 13 days before his passing. He passed on February 25 and the day before we went to the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam with 2 of our best friends and had dinner at our favorite restaurant, the Pancake Ship (run by friends of ours). We made it the best day, just like Bill and Frank. He died in our bed in my arms, just like Bill and Frank. The fact that Bill chose to go together with Frank was so beautiful and heart wrenching. I completely get his choice, even without him explaining it. I'd be lying if I said part of me didn't want to join my husband. The thing is, when you have a partner who needs care and support on a daily basis, they really become your purpose. For Bill doubly so, giving Frank a home and protecting him and later also taking care of him when he couldn't do it himself. When you do that long enough, their passing leaves a gaping hole in your life because everything you've programmed yourself to do every single day is suddenly redundant and you're left empty handed. So I envy Bill's choice, and for him it made sense. P.S.: A huge virtual hug to you, Adam. You look like you really needed it and we can't ever get too many hugs. And of course you too, Jay. I think I'll head over to Patreon and become a patron now.

ive been watching this with my elderly dad, and hes super into it, but this ep was something else. he watched his first wife die of leukemia so this ep really hit home to him, taking care of someone with all your heart who will inevitably die, but then going out on his own terms, was something my dads first wife never got to do. just randomly took her overnight. this was one of the most caring and beautifully written episodes ive ever seen. and a stellar reaction. im subbed

[@norlack89]

was waiting all day for your reaction cuz I knew it was going to be incredible. Definitely one of my faves. what an incredible episode

[@Matty13808]

Jay and Adam: *laughing and joking in the intro before the episode starts* Me: Oh sweet summer children..
