[@shainewhite2781]

The beefcake magazine was hilarious, and when Ellie asked why the pages were stuck together, Joel felt like he had an out of body experience. Lol!!

[@carpetfluff35]

One of the few scenes where they just used the exact lines from the game.

[@praetorxian]

Also, since she found the magazine at Bill’s house, another “hint” to the game player as to his back story (no pun). HBO is crushing it with this series.

[@JudoGeoff]

Why is there someone who says this exact thing on reactions to this episode just about every time? 😂

[@jubilantsleep]

He said “ahh..umm..deuh…” 😅😂

[@robincraft4682]

It was awesome to see Joel and Ellie bonding. The laughing near the end (especially Joel) was great.

[@carpetfluff35]

The guy with the beard that you thought looked like Frank is actually the actor who played Tommy in the game.

[@MK-to9mx]

Jeffrey Pierce

[@GuardIAN4546B]

In the show you got Jeffry: Tommy ep. 4&5 Troy: Joel ep. 8 Ashley: Ellie ep.9

[@FatLittleButterfly]

Haven't seen or heard Joel smile and laugh since episode 1 until now

[@WadeWallenstein]

Wonderful reaction! In the game Joel and Ellie encounter a group called "The Hunters" who don't have much of a backstory. Changing it to people taking over a QZ was brilliant.

[@shaunswieringa171]

In the game you can find notes and things talking about people being fed up with Fedra control and rebelling to take over but I agree, I love the extra backstories to flesh out everything.

[@DavidGowers]

I love that they brought the puns over from the game, they brought a nice little bit of levity each time she got the book out in the game so it was SO good that they brought it in. I can already tell that the next episode is gonna be a good one, and BIG I reckon, hopefully another XL one since they seem to be alternating between long and regular-ish length

[@shaunswieringa171]

I've been watching this show with my family who know nothing of the games and before we started I told them I could die happy if they brought Ellie's pun joke book into the show. So when she started reading from it we all cheered hahaha

[@jmcman6104]

Fun fact the guy that plays Perry (Kathleen’s right hand man with the crazy beard) is the actor that played Tommy in the game!

[@barelywatch9278]

He didn't hear the crunch crunch crunch due to the fact he slept on the wrong side.

[@DavidB-2268]

Joel didn't hear the crunch because he was exhausted from staying up on guard all of the previous night, then climbing all those stairs.

[@hi2u670]

and when he wakes up he is laying on his left side, leaving only his right (bad) ear open

[@iamonfire86]

Luckily, you won't have to wait a whole week. The next episode comes out on Friday since it's the Super Bowl on Sunday 😉

[@alextan1478]

Nice reaction, Addie. I just watched this episode last night and I enjoyed it. It really offers some levity to see Joel & Ellie starting to bond, after seeing that heartbreaking love story between Bill & Frank in the previous episode. PS, the next episode comes out on Friday night on HBO Max, due to the Super Bowl being on Sunday.

[@EntertainmentFan11]

Maybe it's RELEASED on HBO Max on Friday, but my channel guide says it AIRS on TV on Sunday.

[@gailseatonhumbert]

@@EntertainmentFan11 perhaps you should go directly to HBO online to double check. It is quite clear and is because of the Superbowl.

[@Ren_Davis0531]

@@EntertainmentFan11 If you already pay for HBO then you can essentially get HBO Max for free, so yeah episode comes out on Friday for you too.

@@EntertainmentFan11 There's always "other sources" too.

[@jasonschuler2256]

@@EntertainmentFan11 It aired on Friday as well. The airing Sunday night was a rerun.

[@Emily-tb1cp]

Please watch "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" (only ten episodes by now). 🖖🙂

[@praetorxian]

@3:30 Sleeping in the truck offers advantages and disadvantages. Weather protection, mobility, warmth and comfort, etc.. Disadvantages, sound deadening (Joel already has hearing issues), escape and evasion, and the fact it is a brightly coloured target/coffin if you take a sudden, direct hit. In Afghanistan, most all of us opted to rack outside our MRAPs and other vehicles, despite the elements.

[@Maldraek]

Luckily, you only have to wait till Friday! Thanks, Superb Owl!

[@markfilla9305]

I get that reference. 😉

[@wilwaycoholland4337]

Kathleen's Right Hand is the voice actor of Tommy in the game.

[@mojoshivers]

Keep in mind the next episode is Friday because of the Super Bowl. So early reactions for everyone. Lol

[@TheDaringPastry1313]

The guy you thought looked a lot like frank actually was the voice actor for Tommy in the game :)

[@b.u.l.1734]

Kathleen's right hand man is actor Jeffrey Pierce, who played Tommy in the game

[@flerbus]

luckily you don't have to wait a week for the next episode airs friday this week

[@schuettjoel]

One of my fav reactors. You do not disappoint!

[@z3r070000]

I the last of us there were multiple types of enemies. Some were infected, some were clickers, and some were not so friendly people, sometimes called hunters. And there was a multiplayer that featured PVP between the Hunters and the Fireflies.

[@GuardIAN4546B]

In the show you got Jeffry: Tommy ep. 4&5 Troy: Joel ep. 8 Ashley: Ellie ep.9

[@marvinsarracino116]

Luv your reaction Addie! I to am watching this for the first time not knowing about the game. Looking forward to continuing this journey with you!😁😎❤️💛☣️

[@spacezombie13]

it's interesting they made joel partially deaf in one ear considering "focusing your hearing" is a feature in the game that allows you to "see" enemies through walls. and you dont have to wait a week, new episode is on friday cuz of the super bowl. will have to wait longer for episode 6 though.

[@reynaldolorenzo8409]

It’s because the show is more realistic, in the game Joel is an old man that is way stronger and faster than any man in their prime and in the show they have made emphasis on the characters age and shooting without ear protection does fuck with your hearing so it makes sense that after 20 years he can’t listen perfectly, especially with all the shit Joel did when he was a raider and used to kill more people.

[@EntertainmentFan11]

Pedro Pascal let Mazin and Druckmann do what they wanted to do with Joel's character.

[@gailseatonhumbert]

@@EntertainmentFan11 they call them directors and show runners for a reason the actors do not have control over what their characters do.

[@EntertainmentFan11]

@@gailseatonhumbert I know, and I'm saying that Pedro Pascal made the right call. He didn't wanna replicate Joel in the game for the show. Matter of fact, he only experienced the game from watching his nephew play it.

[@jasonschuler2256]

@@EntertainmentFan11 But what Gail is saying is that it wasn’t Pedro’s call to make. He can make suggestions, but at the end of the day he has to do what Mazin and Druckmann tell him to do or he’ll get pay cuts or maybe even be fired if it got really problematic.

[@HelloThere.GeneralKenobi]

A pun for Addie I'm so excited about the upcoming interactive theatre pun show. I do love a play on words. (please don't block me) Nice to have an episode with some laughter, for them and for us, right? We see a great difference between Joel and Ellie compared to their first meeting. Their bond is going to need to become stronger and closer as they face more obstacles in the future. See you for Friday's episode! Take care, Addie!!

[@gailseatonhumbert]

Joel made a mistake in treating Ellie as if it was before the pandemic. Rules have changed the same way that kids that live on farms for example are around and use more dangerous things (machinery etc) earlier. It is important that he teaches her how to use the gun the same way you would teach someone younger how to cook or drive or any other skill they are going to need.

[@terryharrow3127]

Fun fact: the man with the white beard is who plays Tommy in the game

[@craigvancil4410]

you only have to wait til friday, they are putting it out early because of the superbowl.

[@Etticos.]

Have no fear, next new episode is this Friday not this Sunday. It may have been a shorter episode but it is a shorter wait too.

[@oxhine]

Hey, Addie! The Hank Williams song, the sticky magazine, the pun book are all from the game. In the game, the setting of this segment is Pittsburgh rather than Kansas City but Ellie saving Joel enabling him to trust her is the key milestone. The second key milestone is meeting Henry and Sam. Jeffrey Pierce, who plays bearded Perry, portrayed Tommy in both video games. Melanie Lynskey, who plays Kathleen, is a new character original to the show. John Getz, who plays Dr. Edelstein, is a veteran character actor from shows like "Timeless" and "Bosch" but is best known for the movies "Blood Simple" and "The Fly". The undulating floor implies something big underneath which is likely a spore-spewing bloater! The ambivalence you're meant to feel about Melanie Lynskey is something of a motif in the games which might be helpful to recall the further you proceed. Every altercation involves two people with their own back story. There's a story on each side of the gun. Joel has implied with silence that he has killed innocent people yet he is the protagonist because he's our POV character into the story. If Kathleen were the POV character, Joel would just be the guy who killed Brian. Something to chew on.

[@s1mplex1ty]

1,000th Like 😅 that was pretty cool. Secret achievement unlocked 🤣

[@jubilantsleep]

9:54 😂😂😂

[@fredropro]

Hey Addie your wish has come true the next episode will air on Friday so it doesn’t have to go against the Super Bowl

[@brunokingz]

You won't need to wait a week for a new episode.. We'll have another one on Friday \o/

[@shogunn2517]

Actually kinda curious, since we technically don't have to wait a week for the epsiode, when do you think you'll be reacting to episode 5 since it comes out Friday?

[@JesseShadows37]

You don’t have to wait a week. The next episode is on Friday because the Super Bowl is on Sunday.

[@Oddy91]

Did episode 2 reaction get taken down?👀

[@SwordfighterHayate]

Next episode this Friday because they don't want to compete with the Superbowl on Sunday

[@tosa2522]

So far the best episode.

[@lcdgldcg4057]

The next episode will be out Friday to avoid the Superbowl.

[@JohnSmith-qn3ob]

You've watched Alien and Aliens You've watched Terminator and Terminator 2. So when are you gonna watch Predator?

[@iwatchyoutube6539]

Love your reaction videos but for sure don't put a new character you see in the last few minutes of the episode as the thumbnail. It was already expected if you played the game that Henry and Sam were showing up soon but you just showing him in the thumbnail when you don't see them till end of the episode come on. It literally just came out, please don't put a spoiler as the thumbnail.

[@clover2739]

Umm what? Why would you be watching reaction videos if you haven’t seen the episode already anyway? If their own fault if they see it and get spoiled, plus what’s the spoiler? People show up for 2 seconds?

[@iwatchyoutube6539]

The spoiler is showing sam aiming the gun at them which is the final cliff hanger shot of the episode in the thumbnail... Of course people watch these after they've already seen the episode or movie. But when you put it out the next day after the episode aired and lots of people haven't gotten some time to watch it yet you shouldn't have the ending cliffhanger in the thumbnail. Not everyone can watch the episodes the first night it comes out and don't wanna see the ending cliffhanger just because I went on to KZbin and her video and thumbnail popped up as recommended. Do you understand what I mean now? It's literally the day after it came out.

[@jasonschuler2256]

@@clover2739 You realize people can see the thumbnail without clicking on the video, right? This has definitely happened with me before. The day after The Mandalorian season 2 finale aired, a bunch of channels uploaded videos with Luke Skywalker in the thumbnail and I was spoiled when one of them was randomly recommended to me.

[@chogunrua]

The show is pretty good but 5 episodes in its been mostly filler. Wish more happened, many of the monologues fall flat for me.

[@Berg126]

My only issue with this show to this point is the new character Kathleen, not that she is bad, but don't believe in her character, can't see her as an Alpha, how can she run this fraction in this world, in my eyes she looks so Beta, not like Marlene or Tess, they were some strong alpha women, you need authority in a dog eat dog world, maybe it makes more sense later, but it throws me a bit off, don't mind as an actress, just not a role like this

[@rdrflash1992]

Still a bit disappointed, episode 3 is only a drama about gay and episode 4 is only a story about parent and child be like. Where's the cool action? 🙄 Can't wait to see u react "The Raid Redemption" and The Raid 2. Make it those 2 movies in your watchlist 😎. Keep it up and Good luck, Addie.

[@gailseatonhumbert]

It is a story about the people not just a shooter game. Making it into a television series lets them show other things happening besides just fighting.

[@rdrflash1992]

@@gailseatonhumbert Yeup, i know, but it should be a little more adapted at least, it doesn't need to be like in the game, it just needs a little more action. Lots of good scenes in the game and not adapted, the last 2 episodes are vacuously true.

[@clover2739]

@@rdrflash1992 it needs more action… why? The last of us isn’t about action, go play the game or watch an action show. It’s always been about the people and their relationships and connections. That’s the point of the last of us and why it was so good. I don’t get why people seem to only care about action so much, especially if it’s only the 3rd episode out of 9… like you are going to get action, it would be boring and pointless for constant action all the time when it’s not needed
