This was a really good, interesting and terrifying episode! The actor did a really good job of playing the cannibal, molester, preacher! He was frightening! Bella was great because I could feel her pain, anger and cry for mental health therapy! Joel woke up, went right into beast mode and started brutality killing people! ! I enjoyed this episode and I'm waiting to see what they have coming for us in episode 9!

[@GopherBaroque61]

I recently (yesterday and today) re-watched the entire series in preparation for the final episode an one thing that just rubs me the wrong way is that why didn't Marlene just take blood or tissue samples from Ellie and send them to whatever Fireflies lab she wanted to smuggle Ellie to? Why did they need Ellie herself? Did they want to experiment on her. Use her as a lab rat or something? The reason I wonder this is because one of the main tropes of show and films that have a unique character is that they're always afraid of being the target of "mad scientists" who want to study them. Ellie isn't one to tolerate that kind of shit.

[@jenk4545]

If Joel is THIS badass at 56 years old and recovering from a gut wound that happened less than a week ago imagine what he was like in his prime.

[@chuckjones5379]

I like how they've sorta hinted at that throughout the series, but most recently in the 6th episode "Kin". Joel's reputation had preceeded him and Tommy's new wife was almost afraid of him.

Something I noticed is that he called Ellie an equal. That was a dead give away for me. An adult should never see a child as an equal. It’s similar to him saying that she’s mature for her age. It’s possible she could have become a child bride and that thought terrifies me.

[@homeiswhereukeepurdealdoe]

him calling her an equal wasnt a dead giveaway. that just portrayed him saying i see the dark in u and i have it too, so ellie could feel seen. yeah he had other things in mind, but that wasnt a dead giveaway. what u talking about.

Something I really like is that there’s no generic “raiders” in this world. Everyone has a story, a group they’re affiliated with, and when they die, we see how the larger group is impacted by that loss. Whether it was Brian, the kid that Ellie shot to save Joel in Kansas City, or Alec, the guy that stabbed Joel at the college, these guys had people/families that cared about them and are impacted by their death. It just makes the world of Last Of Us feel so real.

[@alexdavis-mann8513]

Raiders are just people from any other group at this point and everybody thinks everyone else are raiders while being raiders themselves lol

Its definitely one of the better changes in my book. Obviously the game needs hordes of faceless baddies for combat but that wouldn't really work in the adaptation.

Joel was brutal and hardcore but he also knows he isn't in any shape to have any of them getting loose and following him. He needed to take them out while he had the upper hand.

[@rowaystarco]

Her acting when she went all primal on David. What an achievement, she's an incredible actor!

[@Cadinho93]

This episode showed us what Marlene meant when she said she knew what Joel was capable of. Even at 10% he's more dangerous than most people at 100%. Also, I loved when Joel hugged Ellie at the end and called her "baby girl". Shows how he sees Ellie sort of like Sarah.

[@mst3KGf]

It was ridiculous already, but after this one, anyone still complaining about Bella Ramsey's casting as Ellie is an abject moron. The climax in particular is her showcase, how she goes from pure rage hacking away at David like an animal and then afterwards so shellshocked and traumatized she can barely get out one word to Joel before collapsing in his arms. And I'm hardly the first to note this, but Ellie killing original Joel is some prime dark humor.

It’s nothing to consider at all. They were solely after her and Joel because they killed one of theirs. James was very helpful to David when they were gonna kill her and chop her up. It’s not even half of a consideration

[@DamonSun-hn7cn]

idk, it seems weird to say that somebody tries to protect someone from something by erasing that someone from existence, which is the very precondition of being protected; it does not make sense to say that you protect someone by denying their precondition of being protected, i.e. the latter is presupposed by the former.

[@nathanp2007]

I thought it was interesting that someone on reddit said they were in HORRIBLE shape, like in the hospital, felt like they were dying (super sick) and 24 hours after getting penicillin (or something just like it) they were up, moving and feeling great. So, surprisingly, I think that part of the episode was actually true to reality or close to it.

[@miamorecadenza1226]

Yeah if it's into the bloodstream it doesn't take long to show results. My sister was extremely sick and in the ICU. She looked extremely tired. They let us into see her maybe 5 hours later and it was like she had just woken up from a nap. Not like there wasn't still a road ahead of her. But it's not too unbelievable to me that even if you felt like crap you could put it on the back burner of a loved one was in danger.

[@emialana9770]

Yeah, it's kind of eerie how fast antibiotics can get you feeling better. After childbirth, I got a mastitis infection and it was the sickest I ever felt. Could barely move. Antibiotics had me turned around in hours.

[@oiijupiter]

Yea, that's how it works

[@Andrew-ht7rf]

When a doctor gives you a script for 2 weeks of antibiotics, 99.9% of your infection is killed within like 5 minutes of you taking your first dose. The remaining doses for the remaining weeks are all to kill the other 0.1% because they need to make sure it's all killed and no antibiotic resistant bacteria starts growing inside you. So you feel fine and recover very, very quickly.

Bit of a tangent but here in Argentina the big cannibalistic case we always remember is the one that happened in the Cordillera (giant mountain range on our left). In short, bunch of rugbiers crashed on the plane while going to a game in Chile and because of the extreme cold, after exhausting every other option, they started eating the people that already died. They survived 3 months and when they came back didn't disclosed how they survived. After a while, people find out and they were furious. But then with the years we all kind of agree that it what normal people would do in that situation.

[@thedarkknight2221]

Without question this is the *DARKEST* part of the game. And yeah, they show did not hold back. They made David in his last minutes even more disturbing than the game made him. And when David tells Ellie that she has a violent heart he had NOOOO idea. I would honestly put her near the top of the list of the deadliest people in tv or video games. When she is chopping the hell out of David it is cathartic at first but then you see the tragedy because Ellie needed to tap into all of the darkness and violence in her heart to survive. And then we get the scene of Joel hugging Ellie and calling her baby girl😭😭😭. Bella Ramsey is getting an Emmy or this show🤞🤞! I kinda wished that Troy Baker (the original actor who played Joel in the game) was cast as someone far more important than James. Still he was amazing and he had an awesome death scene, and it was darkly funny that video game Joel was killed by tv Ellie. I actually screamed out “NO JOEL” when that happened 😂. Also wish that they gave Ellie her trademark bow and arrow, but hopefully we get that in Part 2.

[@gummybearchewy5444]

I think the show has a running formula that video game actor is film actors second in charge. Tommy’s voice actor for the female villain and now Joel’s voice actor for this episodes main villain.

And we can see his chest rise and fall as he takes his last breaths (btw how cool is it that Show Ellie kills Game Joel haha. Baker was great in this episode. Did so much work with just his eyes. You can absolutely feel his uneasiness around David) 3. The shot of Ellie julienning David's becoming blurry and hazy as the blood splatters cover the lens Special shout-out: to the stuntwoman who got yeeted off a mechanical horse for the stunt where Ellie is thrown off Callus when James shoots him.

[@adrthrawn3013]

So I have shared this a few times already. But the sutle changes from the game that i think are impactful to the story and Ellie/Joel relationship. First that Ellie gave Joel her special switchblade knife to defend himself with. The first time Joel killed anyone with it, and it was a very intimate kill. He isn't using it when he interrogates the two guys. 2nd, the turning point for me when Joel fully excepts who Ellie has become for him is when she tells Joel that anyone coming into the house he needs to kill them. No matter who. And Joel doesn't hesitate to continue wiping them out. Why...Joel has started to change and not be that savage guy. We saw it earlier because of Ellie and how he was feeling towards her. He wants to be a better person for her. So when she tells him kill them, he is excepting her judgment of the situation fully. No doubt no questions. These are bad people and he is going full Papa Joel savage because Ellie told him to do it. Not because "he" wants to. Ellie made the call and from now on going forward Joel never doubts again.

As always it seems, they completely delivered on another top tier episode. I really thought I wasn't gonna cry, but that "baby girl" really got me after that Bella performance.

that line from david creeps me the eff out. "the fighting is the part i like the most" holy crap

[@khaleesimandy74]

I'm watching El Camino and there's the guy that played David. He comes to Todd's apartment with another guy, and run into Jesse there

[@kevinmatthew1050]

Absolutely incredible episode and acting. Bella Ramsey needs to win an award for how good she is.

It's very rare for me to verbally "celebrate" any scene of any show/films I watch. But Ellie just chopping the hell out of that bastard brings me too much joy

[@MisterPunch19]

I feel like they were hunting human meat at the college, and watching the scene a second time here, when David and Troy Baker are talking at the begining, that they are talking in code, "X saw a couple of... Deer, 2 miles east". I think Troy is talking about Ellie and Joel as food they can go get.

Hearing the mention of my city's mall is funny lmao. Because every time I go there my ass is on the carousel like yes I'm an adult on a carousel, move along

[@thequadglaser1983]

My mind was blown with this episode. Troy Baker/Joel playing James and then he was killed by Ellie the girl he saved in the game. I wonder what state of mind Troy was in for this episode. Either way you killed it Troy!

[@YoY187]

According to the after show wrap up, he loved getting killed that way.

@@thequadglaser1983 I was always curious about that. If I was an actor, I would always want to go out in a blaze of glory for my character. But a lot of them seem to enjoy being taken out in funny or creative or gruesome ways. Bet it's a trip to watch yourself be essentially murdered before your eyes..

[@MasterVideoStudios]

You can totally hear Troy's Joel voice coming through in this episode

[@roh8576]

I keep on watching reactions to this episode and it looks like i'm the odd one because instead of cheering for Ellie when she was killing David i was actually bawling my eyes out, that poor kid man..

Anyone else catch that “Timothy” reference? 🤣 70’s song about cannibalism.

[@marianoyalour]

The discussion about cannibalism was pure gold 😂

[@charmedoriginal5923]

David was played by Scott Shepherd. Scott appeared in "El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie" as Casey and "the Young Pope" as Cardinal Dussolier.

[@RuminatingRaptor]

The cannibalism conversation about who would make the best meal was hilarious.
