@MAC React Bella Ramsey did a great job with this episode especially when she confronts Joel about leaving her with Tommy & Maria. perfect acting at it's finest.

[@joits]

Ellie's biggest fear, as revealed to Sam, was ending up alone. So Ellie in the final moments of this episode was having to face that fear. Such a great performance from Bella Ramsey.

I'm glad the awesome couple in the beginning didn't get killed, finally a small victory!

Oh Boy, Who’s Gonna Tell Him 😅 You’re In For A Rough One Bud

[@DariusFrench6273]

This is the most vulnerable we’ve seen from both Joel and Ellie yet. We know watching from Joel the desperation to close himself off to preserve whatever humanity he doesn’t want to lose yet and him breaking down in front of Tommy is indicative of how much he’s barely keeping it together, how this dam he built up for himself is breaking apart the more he gets closer to his new surrogate daughter. Ellie, on the other hand, is a whole different kettle of fish. This is where her abandonment issues begin to boil over the more she loses her innocence; between being orphaned by her parents, being pawned off by Marlene, losing Riley, Tess, Henry and Sam, now she has to watch her father figure pawn her off and abandon her too? This girl can’t catch a damn break; it breaks my heart when she repeatedly tells him “Don’t leave me alone”.

[@gpeddino]

Joel’s injury in the game was a bit too extreme. I like how it was adapted.

[@TheStorytellerWolf]

I love watching Christian’s microexpressions when he’s trying to work out what part of the game we’re in lol.

[@Bumiround]

That "Tommy!" alone show how good actor Pedro is

Loved how they blended elements of The Last of Us Part II into this episode. Mazin's daughter also sings the cover song of Never Let me Down again by Depeche Mode

So glad y’all watch Inside the Episode as part of your reaction now! They’re so great and add some really thoughtful insights. The podcast is just like that too!

[@sanneannelies843]

The podcasts are amazing! Such a joy to listen to it😊

[@yodaguru]

Joel has been trying to keep an emotional distance from Ellie. Unfortunately it's failed and they've grown gradually closer. That confrontation in Ellis "room" needed to happen. It basically tore all or most of the walls down that were still up.

[@babykermie]

what tommy said to joel may be hurtful, but it’s true. joel’s inability to move on is his own problem. our trauma may not be our own fault, but healing begins with us.

[@krayzy932]

Yeah, I don't get why some people think Tommy was out of line for saying it.

[@mandywardrop7279]

@@krayzy932I think it’s cause we see the show from Joel’s pov we know what he went through, but the thing is tommy has probably been through just as much so has everyone but a lot of ppl have a hard time seeing things outside of their own perspective ya know

[@lilaceyedee2093]

Christian pretending to not know what’s gonna happen always cracks me up. he’s like oh 😮😂

[@BudhagRizzo]

12:06 -- I see Tommy's side too. He's been through the shit as well, finally meets a good woman, has a kid on the way, is part of a community with a future -- and Joel's asking him to put all that at risk. That is a big request.

[@frothyjazz7425]

I do love the change to Joel's injury. Makes way more sense for live-action because, let's be real, being impaled on rebar doesn't just get better with some stitches and penicillin.

[@frosty6960]

This episode was a masterpiece .. and it hits u emotianlly like a freight train

[@worldofjacas21]

Joel is mad at Tommy because, he looking for him is basicly why the entire plot of series begins, if Tommy call Joel to tell them that he was okay he wouldnt try to get out of the QZ. Also love the refence to the second game.

[@anonymes2884]

Yeah, part of Joel's response had to be him thinking "If he'd just radioed me back Tess would still be alive".

[@krayzy932]

Joel was mad that Tommy is able to move on with his life. Joel is, in part, still stuck in 2003 on the day his daughter died.

[@randomaccessfemale]

I am so glad they chose Pedro for this role.

[@TomTomson81]

There is a reason why Henry is shown again at the beginning. That was for the fans, because that's exactly how the cut had been made in the game. One shot, then black, then dam. Maria to Ellie: "Be careful who you put your faith in. The only people who can betray us are the one we trust." Probably the most important sentence of this episode if not of the whole series. Joel to Ellie: "Dream of sheep ranches on the moon." This sentence says so much. Joel already connects Ellie's dreams with his. Ellie drank from Joel's liquor and it was "STILL gross". That was a callback to the DLC. Next episode Ashley Johnson (Game Ellie) will properly get an appearance in the Ellie Flashback (Game DLC). This episode was a feast for everyone who played Part 2. we met Dina, properly Jessie, Shimmer, Bison Bar, sheep, kids playing snowball, Astronauts, Jackson see from the inside. Simply fantastic.

[@TukaihaHithlec]

Curious where Jesse was, I didn’t pick him out like with Dina. Where was he?

[@TomTomson81]

@@TukaihaHithlec cinema, but not sure

[@anyahati]

I mean, Joel has a lot of valid reasons to be angry with Tommy, but Tommy is right in saying that HIS life didn't stop when Joel's did, and it's not fair for Joel to begrudge him this small measure of happiness just because his own child was murdered.

[@mjdaniel8710]

Keeps getting better, and the acting, wow

[@kentkatchem]

Love these Two, and there reactions! 💯💯💯

[@ramoncarter3121]

funfact the couple from the beginning was from a old tv show called Northern Esposure

[@JordanCesaroni93]

Nice reaction work as usual guys. 👍🏻

[@YasonYou]

I have been waiting for this one for a looooong looong time.

[@TheToasterPirate]

In the beginning, Tommy was the fuck up, and Joel was the caregiver, provider, and protector. Suddenly, Tommy's life is on track, and Joel's is a mess. His identity is challenged while at the same time he is faced with the fact that his brother found heaven, but Joel was "the wrong kind of people" so he wasn't allowed in (and his brother agreed by his actions, regardless of what he says). Then he is becoming attached to Ellie, and he is having more panic attacks in fear of losing her, as well as him having to come to terms with his need for assistance as his body fails (again his identity of caregiver, provider, and protector is challenged when Ellie helps him, etc). It's too much, and he breaks down. Ellie grew up in an orphanage. I'm not going to spoil what life there was like. But a potential mother figure in Marlene left her. A potential mother figure in Tess died. Potential family in Henry and Sam died brutally in front of her. Joel was going to abandon her. Whether or not there are others is spoilers. Ellie told Sam she was afraid of ending up alone. Joel leaving would have, emotionally, left her alone. Also, fuck Joel for telling Ellie she has no idea what grief is. If anything, a child with no secure attachments to caregivers knows grief more than a parent who lost a child -> just from a neuro/psych perspective.

[@kelleycarr9065]

Loved your reaction. Thanks !!!!!!!😊

[@laurenbendik2006]

I wonder if having joel say ‘this way’ was an intentional nod to ‘this is the way’ from mandalorian 😆

[@thihaaung647]

Even facing an apocalypse, those people built a settlement like a paradise. So it's understandable that they're serious about the trespassers entering their territory.

[@JimmyRootsRastaman]

You guys are the best‼️👍🏽

[@heliopaws]

another awesome reaction from you guys! keep it up

[@mitchmatt6002]

Madison kept it together better than I did watching Pedro and Bella - they really put me through it this week! What's so great about the writing on this show is that we get to have such well fleshed-out characters who are just as flawed as the rest of us - so much so that even when their behaviour has us rolling our eyes in frustration, we at least understand the cause behind it! Great performances, beautiful scenery, touching music - this show is wonderful!

[@victorewah2659]

I imagine when Joel talks to Tommy about his dreams that it's most likely memories of Sarah that he relives; and in a world such as theirs even good dreams have become nightmares for Joel because when he wakes he's instantly reminded that Sarah isn't there and why, which speaks to his line " all I know is when I wake up... I've lost something." Life truly did stop for Joel about the same time his wrist watch stopped.😔

[@auntvesuvi3872]

Thanks, Madison! Thanks, Christian! 🪶 Another solid episode with an effective cliffhanger. I especially loved seeing *Elaine* *Miles* playing a small role; I enjoyed her in over 100 episodes of NORTHERN EXPOSURE (1990). It was just as delightful to see *Rutina* *Wesley* again after enjoying her work in most of TRUE BLOOD (2008), several episodes of HANNIBAL (2015) and a single episode of THE WALKING DEAD (2019). ❧ If you're curious about the movie the townsfolk of Jackson City, Wyoming were watching together, it was THE GOODBYE GIRL (1977) and I highly recommend it if you're ever in the mood for a great comedy/drama/romance! #MACReact #TheLastOfUs #TLOU #TheLastOfUsHBO

[@gr8old136]

Love the Indigenous couple, this is real Indigenous the Holla

[@WarNeverChanges9191]

They did the time skip in the game as well ☺

[@The1Music2MyEars]

Ya I think they realized that a girl would find lifting off this big man off rebar a little...difficult. I'm all for it.

[@L.L.Cool.T]

Right? Falling on your back from the 2nd floor is enough to break your back, crack your skull and a few bones alone too. That’s totally traumatic on its own without the impaling injury, it’s insane so many gamers are upset they didn’t keep that in the show. It would be totally unrealistic a 50+ year old would be able to pop up and jump on a horse after that kind of fall.

[@ro4eva]

Totally agree. This is the change I'm most glad that they did. Craig Mazin -- who did Chernobyl (2019) -- is someone I trust as a filmmaker.

[@chillvibes2176]

I would think that this would be common knowledge but people love the video game so much ( which I also do) they expect everything to be just like the game.and don't think about how it wouldn't work on a show

[@ro4eva]

Perhaps people won't agree, but I like that they changed Joel's injury because I do not for one second believe Ellie would be able to lift his body back up and off of the rebar.

[@videovoidtv]

[@Steef_Lee]

I adore Rutina Wesley and I’m so happy every time I get to see her. I wish she’d get more long term roles like she had in True Blood.

[@TorchySmurf]

Nice Steven Rhodes Shirt! 😂

[@spiritualspiritual]

Maria she don’t hate joel she just she try to protect Tommy she don’t want him get hurt

[@bridgethaines7127]

When Maria was all "Tommy was following Joel" I wanted to yell at her "Tommy was a grown ass man and a war veteran. He was choosing his own path lady, don't blame Joel for his grown ass decisions." Then I remember she only knows whatever Tommy told her and want to smack him a few times for blaming his actions on his brother.

[@anonymes2884]

I dunno, Tommy seems to fully own his part (in the bar he won't let Joel take all the blame, correcting him by pointing out that "... _we_ did things...") so I doubt he lied that much. As with most things people related, the truth won't be one simple story so i'd bet it's _partly_ Tommy presenting himself in the best light (and maybe even almost bragging about how tough his big brother is) but _combined with_ Maria interpreting for herself too. People like simple boxes. Maria loves Tommy and can't square the guy she knows with a past as a murderous raider so needs some "bad influence" to make it make sense and a conveniently absent "bad" big brother fits the bill nicely (whereas the truth is more nuanced and harder to deal with - Tommy did those bad things _and_ is the decent man she loves, Tommy's a "grown ass man and a war veteran" _and_ was likely influenced by Joel etc.).

[@clarkmichaels822]

It was also pretty lame of Tommy that he didn't at least send Joel a message with 'I'm okay'. He didn't have to tell him where he was if the commune was concerned about their location leaking but the entire reason Joel set off, accepted to take Ellie, lost Tess, etc. was because he thought Tommy was in trouble while he was actually getting married and having kids.

[@bridgethaines7127]

@@clarkmichaels822 That too. Tommy is not really good at thinking through the full extent of responsibilities. He focuses on the being a hero part and tends to ignore the rest of it. Like he doesn't let his brother know he'll be out of touch but is ok (let alone married and expecting) while gung ho helping Jackson out and being part of the commune, doesn't gel with the military after getting overseas as if he didn't think through what being a soldier was going to really entail, doesn't gel with the Fireflies after letting them come between him and Joel and has to "ditch" them in his own words.

[@krayzy932]

@@clarkmichaels822 He wanted to move on with his life and move past the horrible things he did in the past. Joel made the decision to trek across the country to try and find him. That was Joel's choice. Tommy didn't have to let him know he was okay. He's a grown man.

[@clairealderwood1928]

I think the opening sequence is Joel dreaming of his last trauma. He is suffering some serious PTSD. Also, most people die falling from the height of a second storied building. They mad it more realistic with the baseball bat.

[@orionlee9177]

Love both all you guy 😎😎😎👌

[@clarkmichaels822]

It's interesting that the dog couldn't smell anything while the detector thing used by the soldier in episode 1 did register her as infected.

[@dantevassallo1996]

Maybe the dog didn't register her as a threat, that's why he didn't attack her

[@balantor]

Dog probably smell fungus, but Ellie's immunity kinda block it, so she's ok for a dog But detector sense bacteria of some sort, like covid detector

[@fajaradi1223]

​@@balantor Yeah, detector senses antibodies. Just like COVID swab test. They don't detect the virus directly. They detect common human immunity system response to the virus. Which sometimes lead to a false positive. About the dog. I think the dog can only sense major infection, not the minor and suppressed one that Ellie has. Because she is a very rare case.

[@EdgarDiaz-pt4qx]

They’re going to do the Left Behind DLC next episode. What Christian is excited for is definitely happening episode 8!

[@Faestian]

JMHO: Joel isn't so much pissed off with Tommy and Ellie as he is hurt by them, which makes him angry at his returned vulnerability.

[@fatguyinatesla5780]

Nice job. Subscribing

[@stewart1555]

Joel was always worried about Tommy and now he atleast knows that lil bro is safe. He cares for Ellie, but am sure he seeks redemption and Ellie doesn't want to a repeat of Sam & Henry.

I appreciate christian’s efforts not to ruin things for madison. If I knew what was coming ahead, id have such a hard time containing it.

[@cazory2147]

Listen to the HBO podcasts with Troy Baker. They are just as entertaining and insightful as the show. Things like Craig Mazin's (writer, director, co-showrunner) daughter sang the sorrowful rendition of the 80's Depeche Mode song, and remember what an 80's song means in this show.

[@Scott_Burton]

If they stuck with the landing on rebar, people unfamiliar with the game would likely have claimed it was taking from another apocalypse series... And I appreciated that the assailant's bat broke. How many melee weapons have you broken in the game?

[@scottls]

This is why this has been the only shooter video game that I like. There are so many video games out there where you can just turn off your feelings and become a killing machine, shooting and killing you way into getting better and better at such violence with no issues, but this game was different. It was created so that you feel remorse for killing, especially the NPCs you don't have to kill. (like most of the dogs) This world is still so far fetched but it to me allows me to feel the way I would feel if this were to really take place. to many of us, life is worth something and to just kill with no remorse is not in any way desirable.

[@analmf1210]

"Thank you for giving a sh.. about me", yeah but he can't say the same. People is always surprised, lets see how that could go ," ¿how is Tess?" "Tess is dead" Tomny knows that Joel just wanna to find him, he was worried, so Tess went with him "they were looking for you a-hole and Tess died In the way"

I don't think what Tommy said to Joel was screwed up, Joel can't even be happy for his brother. Yeah, Joel has a good reason for being an ass but not good enough to treat his brother like dirt because he's got a family now is just spiteful. So I definitely think Joel needed to be told upfront and if anyone's gonna do it, it makes sense that it would be his brother.

[@gailseatonhumbert]

Joel would not have lost Tess if Tommy had let him know he was alright. That's pretty screwed up.
