Your last comment at the end of the video nailed it, this episode fundamentally was showing why Ellie will never leave someone she loves (and also breaking our hearts again, because why not?). Craig and Neil both explained how important that was, along with the letter at the end of episode 3 (giving Joel his mission statement, why he needs to protect Ellie). Also, can I say that your reaction to picking up the vibe, and your reaction to realizing this was about "the mall" were absolutely wonderful. Nice to see someone who pays attention and knows right away what that sentence meant. This was actually filmed at my local mall! It was scheduled for (partial) demolition so the production crew had complete free reign over decorating (and destroying) the mall to make it look abandoned. You are very right, Storm Reid fucking nailed that role. So good in fact that now I can't decide who I'd vote for between her and Tess (both were nominated for Best Female Guest Star Emmies).

@@sliceofheaven3026 And Craig is such a fan of the game he was adamant that the DLC get it's own episode. He also said he spent a ton of production money on the CGI to make the mall look 2 stories (the actual mall was only single storey) because it was important to make it match the game. I think they did an amazing job getting something real that already existed to match what we saw in the game. The carousel in the show is a real one that used to be in one of our other malls.

The Emmy is gonna be difficult. I dont know whom else is nominated, but this alone. Anna Torv, who played Tess, was phenominal and right after or before the show started, the voice actress for the game, Annie Wersching, passed away. Making it even more impactful. But, Storm Reid was amazing as well. I dont envy the ppl voting on this category.

@@JigInsane From Last of Us, Melanie Lynskey (Kathleen) is also nominated, can't remember who's nominated from other shows. After about 30 seconds of Tess I thought Anna Torv had nailed it and WAS Tess (couldn't even tell she wasn't American till an interview with her). But the Storm was damn perfect too? Ya I can't decide. The Best Guest Star (Male) category is maybe even harder: Sam, Henry, Bill and Frank are all nominated lol. Good luck picking just one. Also, Annie passed the morning that episode 3 aired and it was too late to get a tribute onto the show, but I remember Neil making a lovely post remembering her. As much as I loved Anna Torv, having seen Annie play Tess on stage in the (brief) live action adaptation was a tease, I needed more of her. She was my favourite part of 24 and if she wasn't sick would have been perfect to reprise her role like Merle.

@VebastionSettel I remember she passed at some point during the show. I knew it was early on, I couldn't remember which episode. But it being literally the week after the episode that Tess died hit in a real way. I'm certain she would've reprised the role had she been healthy. This show had amazing performances all around. That male category is impossible, though I might side with Bill & Frank....Bill.. that whole episode hit in so many ways and deviated so far from the game, but felt just as in universe as anything else. I'm so excited for season 2.

I love Ellie's big ass smile as much as your's. It is just wonderful when you are having such a fun time in reactions but equally interesting when you show anger, sadness and are frightened too. Storm and Bella did a wonderful job in this episode and the fact I had played the game years ago didn't spoil this episode especially as it topped that experience, I hope no one spoils the stories for you with only 2 more remaining. when you say you "I hate this show" I know it actually the best, because they are doing their job and making you feel and it's totally real to you.

It doesn't spell it out in this episode, but it's clear that Riley was the person Ellie was talking about in episode 4 when she said the guy she shot wasn't the first person she ever shot. This whole thing just adds to Ellie's reasons for why she deals with life in this world the way she does. She grew up knowing that any family she had was dead because she was left in the care of Fedra. She had Riley as her best friend, and she started falling in love with her, but Riley left her. Then Riley came back, and they had this one fantastic night where she knew Riley loved her too... and they both were infected. Finally, Riley went on to the afterlife and she was Left Behind again because she killed Riley rather than leaving her to live as an infected. It really changes the way you see Ellie's actions with that infected that was trapped in the rubble, doesn't it?

I apologize for the length of this post. This episode just gave me a lot to think about. Show me, show me, show me, how you do that trick The one that makes me scream, she said The one that makes me laugh, she said Threw her arms around my neck Show me how you do it, and I promise you I promise that I'll run away with you I'll run away with you “Just Like Heaven,” the tune issuing from the carousel. I know some have compared this episode unfavorably with episode 3. Which is fare in that both episodes depart from the central dynamic of Joel and Ellie striving to survive against everything. But while episode three sweeps us off on a bittersweet engrossing romance between Bill and Frank, episode seven stands as a sorta coming of age fantasy for Ellie. It’s sort of a vignette, that lives and dies by the dimension and heartbreak conveyed in Bella Ramsy's and Storm Reid's performances. The way that simply restoring the lights in an abandoned mall creates a weird nostalgia and wonder, akin to seeing Disneyland for the first time. And there’s the “I’m not crying--you’re crying” gimme more schmaltz of Joel's face when he sees Ellie return to him with a needle and thread at the end. “Do you trust me?” and “I guess we’ll find out,” are shown in this flashback episode, to be echoed by Joel in earlier episodes. An especially nice touch that illustrates the bond between Joel and Ellie. Also, Ellie interlacing her fingers with Reilly after they've been bitten by one of the infected, and believing they won’t survive, syncs with the moment Ellie returns to Joel, with the needle and thread to sew up his wound. As Ellie intertwines her fingers with Joel’s, and he clasps on to them, showing his now total acceptance of her as someone he needs, it shows their fates are now aligned. Up to now, Joel has protected Ellie. But, in the aftermath of the quick and brutal chaos of one desperate rando and his wicked-sharp broken baseball bat handle, Ellie must now save Joel. Neither can survive if the other falls. There’s an interesting thematic aspect of “either/or” choice that stitches through episode 7. It’s starkly illustrated in the contrast between the choice of the kind of “life” that Terry Chen lays out for Ellie, when she is brought into his office for punishment, for fighting, and “Option one and Option two,” described by Reilly after she and Ellie are bit. But neither one considers that there could be a third option for Ellie… in either scenario. This scenario that Terry Chen describes seems to offer an aspiration to Ellie. If she works well, she’ll be rewarded. But really, it’s a contrasting philosophy, step in line, and you’ll receive comfort, fall out of line and you will be punished. It’s interesting to note that the captain’s motivation for Ellie is in contrast to what he says he actually believes. He tells her that he believes in FEDRA because it’s the only thing stopping the people from starving or killing each other. Since we’ve seen the Kansas City FEDRA fall, and what happens to the people who took over, he does seem to have a point. But his assertion to Ellie, to fall in line, because then you’ll become an officer, and therefore be in charge of those who will have to do what you tell them, or disobey, and you’ll be one of the grunts, who have to take orders, doesn’t speak to the value of FEDRA being the only instrument keeping the peace. He’s basically telling her, you should be a leader, because it will benefit you, and that’s the only reason that matters. It’s also interesting that later, when Reilly tells Ellie that she learned her assignment after she finished school was essentially to be a Grunt, she describes it as Sewer Detail. Then she clarifies and says that she would be guarding the workers, who would be the ones cleaning the sewage. It would seem that the incentive of being in FEDRA is that even the Grunts have somebody to lord over. The entire story can be seen as a consideration between two opposing alternatives, that are both nevertheless insufficient in accommodating and accessing the essence of humanity, which is our need for connection. Connection is especially powerful in a world where any emotional bond between people is rare and can also be dangerous. But the story also hints that the binary choice offered in all the various scenarios shown, is false; there is often a hidden third choice. A third choice that is not necessarily easy, or smart, or even right. But a choice that points people toward connection. These opposing alternatives, these binary choices, are illustrated in many ways throughout The Last of Us, but a primary metaphor is the distinction between FEDRA and The Fireflies. So, FEDRA are a fascist regime, in charge of the various pockets of surviving human society in the former U.S. The Fireflies are the organized resistance to FEDRA, bent on overthrowing the in-power regime and establishing democracy. But where FEDRA institute brutality to maintain order, they by and large do maintain order in the areas they control, in a world overrun by a chaotic actor, in the form of several billion infected people. The Fireflies do seem to be a preferable contrast, in that they want to reinstitute democracy to the remaining societies of humans, but in order to do that, they need to overthrow FEDRA, and the guerilla war they wage to achieve that end, leaves many people as victims of collateral damage… not exactly the splash page for democratic ideals. But what about that illusive third option? The will to seek out, or not reject human connection when it occurs, doesn’t quite supplant the need for society to move toward equality and freedom for the people. In some ways, that’s what Tommy and Maria’s "it’s not communist" communist township is trying for. But human connection is the option that comes from individual choices. It is not a panacea that washes corruption and malice from whatever form of government is in charge at whatever place and whenever time. But connecting with other people, even when it’s hard, is what reminds us that we can live with other people. It reminds us that the essence of living is not just surviving. Living is sticking around long enough to find somebody, or even a few somebodies, to make you grateful you survived long enough to find them.

I wonder if there's still some dumbasses with their house full of stashed toilet paper that they couldn't get rid of. The cute thing between Ellie and Riley is that normally Ellie is the big smartass with the potty mouth, but Riley is even more dominant than her, causing Ellie to become more submissive in comparison. Show Riley is portrayed by Storm Reid. Honestly fantastic portrayal of her character. 19:13 She also asked Joel about killing infected in episode 2 when Tess was crawling through the rubble. In hindsight this talk is also very Riley related.
