True, We see it the first time when the oldies said that Tommy might be dead.

I don't know if it's because I'm a parent, but he really brought that scene home when he talked about his trauma with failure. Excellent performance and excellent job by the creators adding that scene. Love this show.

[@Blackmagician87]

Random question but does anyone know what type of jacket Joel wears in this episode?

[@davidwindell]

CB I feel you my friend. That part hit me square in the feels because it was like he was describing how I’ve felt constantly since reaching my mid forties, and as someone with both kids and a disability, I specifically can relate to the fear he describes. I ain’t afraid to admit that some water got into the corner of my eyes, but JUST THE CORNERS- no cheeks I swear!

[@irisshea6313]

Great analysis! One thing to add is that he’s def dealing with panic attacks rather than heart problems. Joel basically says as much during the “ask tommy to take ellie” conversation, the part where he’s talking abt his shitty mental health

[@neverfoldvlogs]

I think Joel had to rethink twice after the argument with Ellie. He didn’t want to lose Ellie but him losing another person would kill him and letting Ellie go wouldn’t make anything easier for him. He couldn’t be there for Sarah. So to make that up by accepting his faith he had to be there for Ellie another chance he doesn’t want to fail. You could tell the bond is growing slowly at the end

Pretty sure they get them a few days early. They get the first half season of some shows b4 the premier (with nda's obviously) so they can hype the show up b4 hand. I can't say it 100% but yeah they have to have a few days at least to watch, rewatch, research, write, film, edit, and all that. So it's safe to assume they get each episode early so the show can get as much hype as possible on youtube/social media after it airs.

Can't wait for next week's episode. This show is just too damn captivating!

[@Stephanie-Nicolee]

One thing to consider with the lack of infected is that they've gone for classic Special Effects Makeup and expensive special effects suits over heavy CGI. Those suits and makeup style take quite a lot of time and resources to execute on shoot days, and may not have worked with the initial budget for the show (since they didn't know if it would be as big of a hit as it is). I believe the bloater suit was almost 500,000 to make and took nearly 8 hours to apply to the actor. Just my theory.

I don't think what's going on with Joel is any mystery, or hinting at some unknown health condition we have yet to find out about. I think it's pretty obvious that he's suffering panic attacks and developing an anxiety disorder. Even Joel, without using the words "panic attack" or "anxiety" spells it out when he describes it to his brother Tommy. He describes it as "these moments where the fear comes up outta nowhere and my heart feels like it's stopped." He may not have the knowledge to call it a panic attack (he also had no idea where Jakarta was in episode 1, so not the most book-learned man), but he did correctly identify his panic attacks as fear. He also describes his fear to his brother as something that has caused him to freeze in moments where the fear of impending loss got the best of him and he couldn't take action. And then his nightmares. I think as he gets more attached to Ellie, it's forcing him to face the pain that comes with the loss he's suffered in his life, because parts of him that he closed off for years in order to shield himself from his loss are now opening back up. He's returning to his humanity piece by piece, but along with that is coming the grief and pain that he may have never properly dealt with. So now he has an anxiety disorder because his attachment to Ellie is reminding him of his former role as father to Sarah, and thus triggering his PTSD. He's afraid because he now has something else to potentially lose again.

The pacing felt really rushed with the university of Colorado

[@toddsalisbury3851]

yea felt that too, maybe they coulda made them leaving town the end of the episode? its tough cause they followed so close that they seem like running out of time for the season

[@loganmapes2307]

@@toddsalisbury3851I just think the season needed 1-2 more episodes. Cause it does feel slightly rushed. But I am really enjoying it

A lot of that section was fighting and finding the way around things so i see why it was cut down so much

[@jeffreycarman2185]

This was a great episode! Thanks for the breakdown!

[@philinfinite]

This is an amazing in depth dive, but someone needs to put the KZbin CC in check. It's very wrong and at one point theres a reference to Nazis that isn't in the actual dialogue. I only know this because my wife doesn't hear very well and we have to use the CC. It could deter people who can't hear at all.

Really hoping for Abby to make a cameo appearance in the last episode

[@SGhosht]

Me too

[@edggge2242]

hope not

[@lisak8492]

I don’t envy the girl who has to play her, considering how it all played out with Laura Bailey..

[@angla3383]

I really hope not. I liked that Abby was this stranger who just showed up out of nowhere. Because Joel moved on and never thought about the people he killed and wether or not they had people who loved them. I mean did anyone expect the daughter of the surgeon to come after his ass kill bill style. It’s a little bad ass in my opinion. If they show Abby it’s just gonna be like okay yeah well now we know who she is and what she’s gonna do

[@angla3383]

@@lisak8492 it’s so annoying how women are treated for the characters they play. Like Anna gunn for example who played skylar in breaking bad. People would send her hate and death threats for playing a wife taht didn’t want to be involved with her drug dealer husband lol

i agree.. if they added some clickers or infecteds inside the school campus, it would of been extra awesome.

Why do you think it was fake?

[@walterhauenstein2230]

Ya I agree with those who say they thought Joel was having panic attacks this whole time and when Ellie pops up next to him asking if he's dying only making his anxiety worse it reminded me of iron man 3 when Tony was constantly having panic attacks about the attack on new York and almost dying nd that little kid that helped him constantly messing with him throughout the movie only adding to his anxiety and increasing the intensity of his panic attacks

[@cf6096]

Great episode!! But for a post apocalyptic world, there is no danger… not even one runner in their 5 day walk?…

Graham Greene the actor who played the old man is actually also the voice of Chief Rains Fall in Red Dead Redemption 2

[@rogan1679]

He's also from the second twilight movie. He's the one who gets killed by Victoria in New moon.

[@mpagirobin3805]

That sound(moan) Ellie made when Henry blew his sh*ts out really felt like genuine shock fear. I felt the scene.

[@DavidHLee]

2:57 😂😂 you are too much sir for including this

[@rpandya97]

Maybe I missed this, but does anyone know when they first bring Joel and Ellie into Jackson, how do they have their own horses to ride on? Did any of the other people double up on horses or did they bring spare horses (which seems unlikely)?

[@chamoo232]

When they are surrounded and interrogated, there was 11 people on 11 horses. When we see them reaching Jackson they were still 11 people on 11 horses including Joel and Ellie so most likely 2 of Jackson's group probably stayed behind.

[@allisonheath1156]

I asked this too! No one that came back into the fort was doubled up, and I don’t think there were extra horses when they first found Ellie and Joel, so two of them must be coming back on foot. Which is pretty generous to do for two people they just met!

[@eden20111]

The actress who plays Maria also starred in True Blood. They did her so dirty in that show when they killed her off screen.. there was drama on set and the directors treated her like shit.

[@sillyskater2]

“You don’t know what lose is” 😭 What an episode, we got monkeys and the iconic argument but no picture of Sarah or Joel’s drop onto the rebar.

[@ghostofmoredishesmorebitch1507]

The rebar was kind of video gamey anyway

Maria is not black. Why can't the writers respect the source material? I'm so tired of this nonsense.
