I’d say it’s appropriate. In the game you can pick up these notes that kinda tell a mini story about someone who died or something.

[@Saphthings]

There's something unsettling in realizing that Sam was just sitting there because he's deaf. An infected listens for their prey. Even if he ever went to go full on clicker he couldn't. Ellie broke her promise and fell asleep, so he was just sitting there. Waiting, screaming from the inside. As his brain was slowly eaten away. And until someone touched him, or came in his view, he would sit there forever. And when Ellie touched him, Sam saw his own body attack her. Instead of becoming the superhero he always wanted to be. He became a monster, crying for his brother to help. He didn't even hear the shot. Just his vision slowly fading to black. He spent all night trying not to fall asleep. Then suddenly his eyes were slowly closing, afraid of what would happen once he woke up, but he never did. Bill and Frank's story was sad, in a stoic kind of way, but just like Bill said at the end, it wasn't tragic. They'd lived a full life. Here Sam and Henry had hope, a chance, and a whole life ahead of them. Henry was so good that he protected Ellie before even realizing what he was doing. It was instinctual. That comes from deep inside. But a little like Kathleen said, this kind of goodness, makes it hard to live in such a tragic world.

[@gardana2405]

[@she_who_dares9713]

Damn, How wonderfully said

[@PugAshen]

Ellie's cry-sigh when Henry shot himself is just heartbreaking.

[@Ren_Davis0531]

This episode was so economical in its storytelling. It had one episode to get us connected to Henry and Sam then kill them, and it pulled it off beautifully. Lamar Johnson and Keivon Woodward had such an instant, magnetic relationship that got you immediately attached to them. It was such a smart choice to have Ellie try to save Sam with her blood. That is very impactful for her internal struggle moving forward. And it paid off just how much Sam and Ellie had bonded. That line where Joel said that it’s easier for kids as they don’t have anyone that depends on them only for Ellie to lose Sam who depended on her. Such a great way of handling character with such small character work. The entire mirroring of Henry and Sam to Joel and Ellie serves to continue the narrative drive to the ending in such a deft way. Another banger episode. Also the Savage Starlight, Joel working his way through the street to get to the sniper, and the Bloater kill being just like the game was chef’s kiss. The Infected were truly terrifying in this episode. The clicker kid was so creepy.

[@JRHainsworth]

This is what happens when you get a decade AFTER the original story to think about improvements.

[@Martinbumms]

"That line where Joel said that it’s easier for kids as they don’t have anyone that depends on them only for Ellie to lose Sam who depended on her." I would even say that Ellie feels like that every human on the planet depends on her. Having played the games you know how much Ellie struggles with her immunity and how it seems to not having a meaning at all. It's amazingly heartbreaking!

[@theprowler18]

I think it makes me appreciate just how strong and universal the first game's story truly is, and how much of it took a community to make that into the gem it turned out to be (Neil Druckmann may have wrote the story, but Bruce Straley and Naughty Dog's writers' group really helped shape the game from beginning to end of development in not just gameplay but narratively too). Which makes me excited to see what Craig Mazin can improve upon and change for TLOU2 (as many of the narrative/character writing and directional problems are on Druckmann solely).

[@Ren_Davis0531]

@@theprowler18 I also think the show can iron out more of the structural/execution problems of The Last of Hs Part II. There is so much that works about that game, but there are some cracks in the armor that I think can be heavily improved for the show. Especially since they know the story and have the ability to learn from what worked and what didn’t.

[@fy_tv]

I loved the moment when Ellie thinks she can heal him; it's very sad because we (the audience) knew it wouldn't work, but it's also a reminder that despite what she's been through, she still has a childlike view of the world (maybe she also regrets not being able to save Tess in some way, or at least not trying to save her). Why is she different if she can't save the people she loves? Is she doomed to survive alone and see everyone she loves turn into monsters (cf. the fear she expressed)? There is also a double dialogue about Henry being a bad man because he did bad things but it was OK because he was doing it for Sam - once Sam is gone, in is own mind he's just a bad man.

[@DatBoyPacker65]

I like to think she knew there was a great chance it wouldn’t work but felt she had to at least try. She was mostly trying to make him feel better and less scared.

[@fy_tv]

@@DatBoyPacker65 Just my opinion but I don't think you would fall asleep if you did not believe it worked.

[@IndianTelephone]

I dont wanna spoil anything, but I don't think the feeling developed coz she failed to save tess. It might be also a part, but there is a major reason in her past why she was desperate to try whatever to save this new kid friend she just made.

[@FlockOfYahweh]

Sam & Henry absolutely broke all of my grown ass into a crumb

[@CaptainPikeachu]

There is also the irony of Kathleen being so focused on chasing after Henry who was ultimately no real threat and actually ignoring the real threat with the infected. We saw last episode when Perry showed here the slight rumbling underground. She knew the danger but decided her revenge was more important than protecting her people, and now her people will suffer for that. If she had dealt with the threat first, it’s entirely possible that she and her people might have had a chance. Everyone might have had a chance, including Sam. Kathleen’s revenge inevitably doomed everyone.

[@scarlet3470]

If she had followed her brothers advice about FORGIVING everyone in Kansas City would still be alive but nope you’re right she doomed everyone lol

@@futurekingjay not really. It would be exactly the same

[@futurekingjay]

@@rockycuro7737 Spoilers for people who haven't played the game. If her blood can heal bites, she doesn't need to die for them to make a cure. Hence, the fireflies won't decide to perform fatal surgery on her. Joel wouldn't need to kill them to save her. Joel wouldn't lie to her. Ellie wouldn't resent Joel. Why kill her when you can keep her alive and steadily draw blood from her to cure people. She'd be an infinite supply. Also, why didn't she bring that idea up with Tess? There was plenty of time for Ellie to cut in on the conversation and go "Wait, maybe I can heal Tess with my blood". But if you mean her blood only heals bites before people turn, I still don't see them reaching the fireflies only for them to still want to make a cure. A cure for who? The people who have already turned? They're too far gone. Cordyceps starts replacing their organs and shit. You cross that line, I'm pretty sure it's straight up a point of no return.

[@thedarkknight2221]

This show keeps doing what I genuinely thought was impossible. They’re taking entire chapters of the game and somehow condensing them into hour long episodes and they DON’T FEEL RUSHED! We got the backstory of Henry and Sam, and Sam being deaf was an idea Craig Mazin had that Neil Druckman loved so much that he said that it made him angry (in a good way) he didn’t originally put it in the game. We also saw the tunnel community which is one of my favorite levels in gaming history because it tells an entire story just from looking at your surroundings, plus it was great to see Ellie and Sam just be kids and forget the troubles of the world. And finally we got to see not just a horde of infected but our first *BLOATER* and it was even mor terrifying than the game. This episode was absolutely a 10/10

[@theprowler18]

It also gives greater context with the Infected horde attack for Sam to get infected and allow a different but similar tragic impact to hit with Sam and Henry's fate overall. This gives me some genuine excitement to see how he can change and improve TLOU2's narrative overall.

Everyone (including myself) assumed the sniper was trying to kill Joel, Ellie, Henry and Sam and was just a terrible shot. But he was really just trying to keep them in the area until Kathleen and the others got there.

[@cgtang]

Kathleen had the vibes of a strict soccer mom than a leader of the resistant. IMO it's good because who would have guess that this kind of person would be the one who led the entire army. She gave the 'never meant to be' kind of villain.

[@lishawnstreeter6577]

She went from a Kathleen to a Karen

[@mst3KGf]

@Christopher P. Braxton In a way, yes, since the reason her followers are so loyal to her is because she's the sister of their previous leader, who from Henry's description sounds like they damn near worshipped. I really like her character, not just because Melanie Lynskey is a plus in everything she's in, but because she's an example of how the unlikeliest person can be shaped by tragedy and outside events to become a monster.

[@mst3KGf]

@Christopher P. Braxton Another reason Lynskey was so effective; she's got this naturally warm and pleasant "suburban mom" air about her and then you see her order a mass killing the same way you'd expect her to conduct a PTA meeting. It's not that dissimilar to her "Yellowjackets" character.

[@mannylugz5872]

She made a good enforcer. But she was such a bad leader motivated by her hatred towards everybody connected with FEDRA and bloodlust towards Henry.

7:00 Every single reactor I have seen they think it’s because she is exited, why would she be exited? I took it as that Joel told her to put the gun in her backpack and she didn’t listen so when she saw Joel reaction to her having it on her jacket she smiled because she got caught.

[@reynaldolorenzo8409]

[@clover2739]

Yeah I don’t know how pretty miss that… considering how everyone gets mad at Ellie for not listening and putting it in her pocket, that was clearly a smile or ‘yeah oops I did it anyway’ you can even tell by Joel’s face when he saw that is that he’s annoyed but not surprised

[@markwang77]

even though the character of 'Kathleen' isn't suppose to be likable, i think they did a great job with that character and making her 3 dimensional - she's morally flawed and ruthless. i'm glad you pointed out that she wasn't ever meant to be the leader - rather that responsibility was thrusted upon her. also, she has the loyalty of Jeffrey Pierce's character who's a loyal soldier and the people follow kathleen because they see that this alpha soldier follows her. this is just a great show, excellent writing and acting

[@clover2739]

Exactly, it seems like everyone respected her brother a lot ans he was adored and he was the past leader. Her brothers death really made her step into that role and her anger and thirst for revenge was the thing that powered them to actually take down Fedra, so her leadership actually got them somewhere. I think people don’t realise that it’s not the voice, or looks or even just the strength that makes you a leader. In this situation it’s the willingness to do everything and anything to get there and you can tell that she wouldn’t have been like this before the outbreak but she’s completely gone with grief and anger now

[@jessetorres8738]

15:40. 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. This reminds me of how in Part 2 of the games a person's quest for revenge for someone they love can result in losing everything.

[@NewYears1978]

There are so many sublte acting pieces in this show that are so easy to miss. In the scene where Joel tells Ellie to get out her gun, everyone notices her excited look but most skip over Joels very simple "really?" stare when she pulls the gun from her coat instead of her backpack where he told her to put it. Such a great acted show. This episode is my favorite so far. Sam wasn't deaf in the game, and he was like 4 years older. It was more of a Boy crush on Girl relationship where here it was more of a Big sister. It was so much more impactful in the show, even knowing what was coming. They did such a good job.

[@mst3KGf]

It's not just killing his brother, it's also the realization that all he did to save him, including causing the death of Kathleen's brother who he considered a great man, was for nothing. Everything came crashing down on him at once and at that point, he saw death as the only solution.

This episode also gave an explanation for why someone as outwardly unlikely as her is the leader of the revolution; it was originally her brother who was in charge and he sounds like the kind of person who's followers damn near worshipped him, so when he was killed, they transferred that loyalty to his sister.

[@Dilligff]

@@mst3KGf To paraphrase a villain in another well done show: "Power does not come to whoever is stronger, faster, or smarter. True power comes to those willing to do ANYTHING to achieve it." Jerry pointed out that everyone loved and respected Kathleen's brother, but it was her (ruthlessness) that finally got things done. It ultimately ended up being her failing, but it goes a long way to explain why others got behind her.

Part of the reason why episode 3 was so great is that by changing the story so much they were able to give such an emotional impactful scene to not only the new viewers, but also the gamers. This episode was amazing to those of us that didn't play the game. And they change it up enough that this is still a heartbreaking moment for the gamers. But it does highlight how those that complained about episode 3 isn't something I agree with. It gives more reasons for the gamers to watch than to just see the game come to life. Because episode 3 came out of nowhere, whereas this twist I saw coming. Episode 3 gave me some hope that her blood would've worked even thought I know it just can't.

If you are interested in the name of the big guy, and the other names for the different stages of the Infected (based on the game), read on: Stage: (All true to their namesake) 1 - Runners: Most we've seen up to this episode. Little outward signs of infection, relatively dumb. 2 - Stalkers: Haven't seen so far. A little smarter, they hide and pop out when a victim is near. 3 - Clickers: Encountered in the museum in episode two and this episode quite a lot. Completely blind but use echolocation and have VERY sensitive hearing. Extra vicious. 4 - BLOATERS: The "big guy" we encountered in this episode. Heavy armor from fungal plating and incredibly strong. The ones Joel was referring to in episode two when he said some Infected have been around as long as twenty years.

I've never played the games, so this is just a guess, but logically speaking, Ellie's blood isn't the cure. If it was, the scanners wouldn't show red, indicating the presence of the fungus. That means that the Cordyceps is in her blood but, for some reason, it's not taking root or however you want to put it. If anything, her blood might actually infect someone. She's a carrier.

Cordyceps take root in the brain. In the game they didn't really show if her blood can infect someone. They only said it spreads through a bite.

[@kindabatooni9314]

The best episode so far. Phenomenal. Loved every minute.

[@LaCheeserie]

Great call Achara! I’m pretty sure that was a gymnast

[@pranaypietersen]

Henry in the last scene, if only eyes could talk 🥺

[@Valthrost]

Jabby’s expression says everything. He knows what’s about to happen to the brothers 😢

[@fabricioguanipa7530]

"tissues are to the left! OMG LOL

[@thelifeofbrian.]

Great reaction and review guys. Yeah, when I get to Henry and Sam I skip that cinematic on replay. Just so gutting.

[@James2ndd]

Awesome reaction guys!

[@Ghoulstille]

If anyone watched the Strain they'll remember the Feelers who are reminiscent of the Kid Seekers in their acrobatics.

[@ksytic5841]

The way perry being headless 💀

[@JamesWick99]

15:21 this scene right here just reminds me of the battle of the bastards in game of thrones

[@2012svk]

The best episode. I reccomend to play intro music immediately episode ends. Instant goosebumps for gamers

[@dayangmasudi]

Welpp...there goes "No Infected" in Kansas city.. Henry and Sam was great this episode..

[@setiop6788]

Man when this game came out it was like movie and game in one now . Now I can see the third dimension that game almost showed when playing and finishing.

[@n0bleonline222]

😭 @jackhsu3458 Henry's last words "What did I do...." was pure horror and heartbreaking, you can hear his distraught and despair at same time, and honestly cuts deeper than the game version "it's all your fault!" The moment he realized that everything he has done, people he betrayed are all for nothing, Sam still died in the most horrific way, and what Kathleen said about the "you can't f**k with fate" was right all alone.

[@zachery2759]

14:16 Those big guys, in case you’re wondering, they’re called bloaters. They’ve been infected for over a decade.

[@rogersjgregory]

With the game, you have the illusion of control, but here with a tv show, you have no control at all, plus you can just relax and pay attention to every detail, so it hits different.

[@mananguptaaa]

This setup looks so good

[@mrtubakapro2949]

Jaby really said “tissues are to the left”

[@jamesmeechan6983]

Putting it on Sam's face to give him joy in the dark times

They must have left Anthony up there in that space with a garbage can full of bullets! Lol

18:18 The Gasp 👍👌

[@angelojohnson8891]

Favorite episode so far for me.

[@pero02review47]

for this ep I think the game version gave me more impact with how deep was the conversation between Sam and Ellie, and how shocked when Sam turning in the morning without anybody knew. The expression and regret from Henry was much more terrifiying in the game after killed sam.."That my fucking brother!" broke my heart in the game..

[@thisisDway]

Damn it was heartbreaking…even after knowing Wat was gonna happen…I’m already shaking about the thought of Wat if the series replicates the same story of the 2nd game…I went in to a trauma when it happened that I couldn’t touch the joystick for a week and the 2nd game is an emotional ride and it took a huge toll on me after completing it

[@zo_leo8401]

I never played the games but this series is going great so far. Im on the edge of my seat every episode and im enthralled by the dialogue. I heard some complaints about how they changed the Bill storyline from the game. Im curious how the game fans feel about this episode. Because it blew me away and broke my heart at the same time. Just WOW

[@nayeebG]

Making Sam deaf made it more sad. 💔

[@danielbeltsazarmarpaung4414]

If every episode keeps punching me in the heart like this, i'd be dead in the last season

[@EpicDave]

I think it would be cool, especially for Achara (maybe after the show ends) reacting to the game cut scenes so you can see the game vs show. In all honesty I feel the game did Henry shooting Sam and his reaction better but... I feel the show making Sam deaf and the interaction with Ellie was done better. Both show and game have their merits.

[@aapzot]

Yes i know what is gonna happen and how it will end also for the second season but i dont care its still amazing this series.

[@obersmith]

"oh how many...?" all of them.

[@sujoydutta920]

Man the Bloater was sick should have gotten more screen time 🤣🤣

[@nemomarc7841]

It was necessary to wait for episode 5 to find the tension of THE LAST OF US the Clicks which come out of the ground the Colossus an explosive finale.

[@datboidego]

Achara: “Why would you keep rats alive” 😦 *Jesus Christ*

[@kaboshireacts]

I agree, it felt worse knowing because they added hope to the scene with Ellie and Sam. Hope that her blood was somehow the cure but gamers know that's not how it works. It really broke me and Henry and Sam's actors performances were great.

[@kratosgow342]

Funny that Neil said they made that scene to answer people who wonder a out it when the game released

[@reginaldcollinsturner7997]

This definitely my favorite episode

[@BudhagRizzo]

Joel keeps finding rifles that jam on him! Keep your firearms CLEAN, guys!

[@brunosilva-ed4pz]

I hate when people just run straight instead of, u know... just going to the side...

[@phattyconn2701]

I enjoyed this episode, I think the naivety of a child thinking that rubbing her blood on his wound would heal him covers one of the issues I had with the game with Sam not telling anyone. At least here they have hope as the reason. Part of the issue I had with episode 3 is now everyone that we have meet besides the main characters has basically only lasted 1 episode. At least in the game Bill lived past his encounter with them.

[@zone7081]

I can confirm it’s worse knowing what’s coming.

[@iml3104]

The famous words of achara, check for bites

I said it in “All Of Us Are Dead” and I’m going to continue to say it in every single show like this - check for bites!! 😂

True to the game, Joel has infinite bullets at the sniper scene.

That old guy had infinite bullet as well
