Hi

[@owensmith9517]

Love you guys

[@madmax6439]

We saw Dina in the dinner, it might be her, we dont know but at least is a sign for season 2, i hope.

[@theseifexperience6863]

I liked it. It made sense to do it. Both the city of Jackson and Dina existed during the events of the first game both were just off screen. Might as well just reveal both now as opposed to delaying the inevitable

[@stevemcgowen]

I liked it a lot. I bet each episode is probably movie length, but had to be edited down. I'm guessing we will see the missing 3 months in a flashback, maybe when Joel is unconscious, or in a coma from the stabbing injury...

[@Ay3shizzle]

Pedro really owned this episode man. That scene where he’s emotionally pleading for Tommy to take Ellie to the fireflies because he’s afraid of getting Ellie killed if he took her himself was heartbreakingly beautiful. I feel like this was better than the game’s version where he aggressively told Tommy to take Ellie and he shoved Tommy for saying no because the show’s version had more emotional depth. Give Pedro all the awards lol.

[@theawesomeman9821]

Not just Pedro but the whole caste, writers, and directors deserve Emmies for this whole season.

[@rogertemple7193]

In some interviews I've seen Pedro Pascal using an inhaler so I guess that he has asthma or some other breathing problem and the Canadian climate is rather cold as you can see.

Wasn’t a anxiety, he doesn’t suffer from anxiety he suffers from grief and the thought of loss it was a panic attack

[@Capsaysin]

@@BeemerOfflineactually the part one remake shows the labels on Joel’s pills before everything falls apart are anti anxiety medication, which fits with the stress he shows about his job at the time. With the show having him more obviously open back up to Ellie faster after being numb to everything for 20 years, I like the detail that all those feelings are flooding back with it

[@BeemerOffline]

@@Capsaysin that’s cool, but what they portrayed in this episode was not anxiety. There was no anxiety it was mostly ptsd and grief being shown and they mentioned it in the after credits that it was a panic attack

Joel suffering through PTSD and just can't seem to accept loss anymore and he see's Ellie as a daughter and is very protective of her. When it comes to Tommy it feels like Pedro and Gabriel are real-life brother even though they are not but the chemistry is so natural. That scene with Joel just pouring his heart out regarding losing Sarah, seeing Ellie reminding him of Sarah and crying, I just got tears in my eyes watching that scene in this episode.

[@Ay3shizzle]

I really loved this episode. Pedro was the MVP in this episode and I loved Gabriel Luna as Tommy. Also I loved how Joel’s ptsd played a bigger effect here than the game because of the thought of him losing another loved one in this case Ellie. Really added more depth to Joel as a character in the show. Great reaction guys!

HOW, HOW DOES THIS SHOW KEEP GETTING BETTER EVERY EPISODE?!?! If both Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey are not nominated for best actor and actress at the next awards season WE RAMPAGE!! This was perhaps my most anticipated episode of the season because it has THE SCENE of Joel and Ellie in the bedroom and I wanted to see more of Jackson. But my god, I didn’t think anything could make me cry more than I did in episode 3 with Bill and Frank, and yet they did it! The scenes of Joel clutching his heart and looking up to see a young woman who almost looks like Sarah, and when he was telling Tommy the truth that he believed that he was going to fail Ellie and get her killed. God I was crying so damn hard, and then when we got to THE SCENE in bedroom I was a complete mess.😭😭😭😭

Yes seeing those 2 Native American actors in the beginning was amazing and they both were incredible I wanted to see more of them but I doubt we will see them again though.

[@mannylugz5872]

Native Americans already experienced apocalypse and the actor was in Dances With Wolves when he asked how many whites and Costner said, like stars.

[@neil2345]

As much as I loved Pedro's 'I'm not the man I used to be' monologue, my favourite bit of his acting was in the reaction to Ellie bringing up Sarah. It's the most subtle facial expression change but you can gather his entire mood shift just from the small head tilt and eye brow furrow. He goes from calm and measured to angry and shocked within a second. Masterful.

[@Theus227]

Joel breaking down and confiding in his brother hit hard. His PTSD finally breaking through is just another level of realism. I’ve dealt with it myself and like Joel when I stopped self medicating with drugs and alcohol, everything it was holding back came rushing out. And they have no real support or proper treatment to deal

[@Wattywatasaurus]

Joel: “They’re quiet, and do what they’re told.” Every sheep farmer everywhere: “Oh you sweet summer child!”

[@markwang77]

As someone who never played the game, I thought there was plenty of tension throughout since I didn’t have any preconceptions of what’s to come. Also, I felt the emotional ‘You’re not my daughter’ scene was completely believable and earned.

Pedro’s acting in this episode was just so good. It gave me chills. Him tormented with guilt, and loneliness. Also I find it interesting the show runners talked about how Joel is now signed up to be “her father” doesn’t always mean he’s the best influence on her, but it’s better than nothing. I do like how you can see Ellie’s dependence and emotional attachment to him now, that’ll be hard to sever at this point.

[@brains4rocks]

this exactly

[@Jorge-ob1iu]

True but there's also these little interactions between Joel and Ellie in the game. Moments where Joel initially pushes Ellie back, but she still ends up finding a way to creep back into his heart. For example: after Joel, Ellie, Sam and Henry escape the sewers, Ellie tells Joel she killed a runner and that Joel would be proud of her. She's clearly looking for validation, but at that time Joel isn't giving it to her. After Henry and Sam's death, they have to work together to cross the dam. Joel gives Ellie a high five at the end, which is Joels way of giving her that validation she was asking for earlier. The whole "Ellie shot a guy with a gun she shouldn't have" is another one of these moments where Joel initially pushes her back, gets mad even, but later on he apologizes in a Joel way: "It was either him or me". He gives her the gun too at the end of this little arc. While I don't think that the bond between tv series Joel and Ellie is unnatural, it's these moments that would make their relationship stronger and the emotional scenes much heavier imo.

[@Gregor_Von_DOOM]

@@Jorge-ob1iu yeah I remember the interactions and optional dialogue. Some are still present but I think it was replaced with the writing of Joel having actual PTSD and the way he speaks to Ellie. After the truck crashes (something that also happened with his daughter) he keeps asking if she's ok or hurt. In the woods he was too honest and harsh by saying if people found them they would do worse than rob them, you could tell it scared her then after they shared a moment with the pun book he did what he should have done in a parental role by lying to her nobody would find them. He had been slowly opening up to her and I think the show presented her "validation" as a person rather than just being cargo when she was speaking to Henry about how Joel puts up a tough exterior but "I'm gonna ask you a bunch of times". All while smiling. It's not the high five but it's still sorta the same.

[@hvjugfthj]

I've dealt with panic attacks for years and Joel's are like spot on whats helping him get out of the panic attacks are by distractions Ellie shouting, the dog barking, thinking he saw his daughter. Distractions are real ways to help get out of panic attacks if I was at home I'd grab a buch of ice put it on me try and get me distracted and to snap out of it when I'm out I always carry some hot sauce packets or sour stuff to snap me out of it and that helps it's nice to see how accurate that is and the symptoms are good as well its really well done.

​@@matthewbarry9603 The Walking Dead got old bc AMC wanted to cash in on its popularity and started making 'longer' seasons that were divided into 2 actual seasons, where the majority of episodes are just treading water and keeping the plot from moving forward at all, "shockingly" killing ppl off to keep the audience's attention. It wasnt about the number of episodes specifically but that nothing was rly allowed to happen for long stretches until everything happens in a "mid-season finale" and then a season finale, and 'things happening' was usually just who and how many ppl are gonna die. All the Walking Dead's season finales was like comic book companies releasing a ton of #1 issues bc #1 sells more. It was oversaturation of the series with not enough plot to fit into all of the episodes. The Last of Us is totally the opposite thing: there's a lot of plot happening at a very rapid pace and there's not that many moments to just sit and breathe with the characters.

Makes more sense in the tone of the show. They’ve been meticulous about establishing limits physically for the characters and getting impaled by rebar just seems like too much

Man I don’t know what episode I love cause I enjoyed and loved each episode but clearly we know we’re getting close to the most epic moments. And shout out to Dina spotted in that dinner scene which will lead to season 2 pat 2 of last of us . Those missing scenes between Ellie and Joel arguing , im sure we will see those scenes In Part 2 . I loved how they added Joel PTSD . This episode was top notch a great one . Yes we noticed some skipped scene especially the giraffes.

Pedro and Bella both really deserve an Emmy for their performance in this show.

[@SimeonToko]

The actress that plays Maria also starred as Nola on show Queen Sugar for the past five seasons.

[@ComingForYou465]

Love that both of these guys seem like such huge, genuine fans of the game, they’re more excited than me by the Easter eggs 😂

[@jttice]

That was my same reaction to Dina! I love all the Easter eggs for Part II!

[@ryans413]

I didn’t catch that at first I had to skip back and watch again and then I was like holly s**t

This show was made in the majority of Alberta and really goes to show how beautiful it is Edit: haven’t played the games but now I might have to buy em and play em

[@georgia2321]

there are some really good playthroughs of both games on youtube, just in case you’re like me and can’t play the games but want the experience

[@ilikecheese8126]

@@georgia2321 yeah realized it’s only a PlayStation game kinda sad ngl but might just watch like jack or mark play it if they have

[@georgia2321]

@@ilikecheese8126 I like jack’s playthrough of the first game better than mark’s. That game was from so early in both their careers that I really wish they’d *both* redo their game one series.. especially since it was also remastered for ps5 not long ago. Oh also I watched julien’s playthrough of the remaster and it was amazing. And then for TLOU Part 2.. I think jack’s playthrough will probably always be my favorite for that game. He was so thoughtful and considered at a time when a LOT of people weren’t being that way with it.

[@Kristina-rt1ty]

I cried so hard this episode. Pedro really made you feel his grief and struggle. It was absolutely heart breaking. BUT ILL BE DAMNED if he’s taken out by a BAT after all this

[@ladyms7840]

Again with the fast upload. You guys are the best! This episode was wonderful. Like I'm never disappointed with them. Love how they flushed out joel and ellie development. Seeing Jackson developed very similar to game 2. And all the feels. I'm gonna be sad when it's over

[@polinagustav8583]

I love episode 6 showing how Joel is vulnerable. He's not just a character but like real person showing his fears and regrets and wanting to do the right thing. This actor played it beautifully. Pedro Pascual killed this acting as a Joel. Never seen such a good actor played it so well like he's been through some shit and we can genuinely feel how he felt. His ship with Ellie is true and you can't separate these the now.

[@Brook11223]

I just saw the BTS where they built the sets and Rutina said that her job was easy when the production set was built making her job easy with the performance. Also Graham Greene from Die Hard with a Vengeance and Dances with Wolves to start off the episode so awesome.

[@swagwolfgang]

I really really am still suprised how good this show is like i am so used to adaptations being decimated by the writers that i cannot process how good this show is😂

[@whatthehexadecimal8830]

The emotions and tension in this episode were so well executed!

[@Irish_Reviewer]

Literally my only why moment was why did Joel pull out the knife 😂 leave it in hahahaha

[@lisamccoy6514]

They just can't ever let us have a happy ending to an episode can they dammit but the scenery and acting, music.. everything is amazing. Poor monkeys left over from being experiments I bet. Anyway can't wait for next week love you guys as always love my Sundays with you & Andrew. 💖✌️🎬🍄🍄

[@janvazquez7902]

I literally thought I was the only one who immediately recognized the girl who was staring at Ellie. That has GOT to be Dina!!!!!!!! 😭

[@PuentesRE]

I think I practically held my breath the whole time they were in Jackson, it was just so intense and incredibly well done.

[@wizarddragon]

Gamer fun fact: The native gentleman at the start of this episode(Graham Greene is the voice actor for Rains Fall in Red Dead Redemption 2.

[@JohnWick-kb5jr]

Dude I knew it! Heard his voice and said “that’s Rains Fall”. My buddy who also played the game said I was wrong, glad I wasn’t. ✌🏻

[@tefweebz]

I could not be happier with what they have done so far. Bella, Pedro, Gabriel, they have done literally everything right even with the creative choices. I don’t care that Joel’s turn-around decision to take Ellie seemed rushed because the game required you to rescue her, I got to see them bond longer before “Winter”. In my opinion, the only thing they had to do was nail the bedroom scene, and they did, I cried. 6 episodes out of 9, and this show is the best and smartest game adaption I have ever seen. I said it before, a lot of you owe Bella an apology, she is literally Ellie, and she is giving a performance that should be nominated. Her reaction to Sam being killed and Henry dying shook me to my core.

[@cristinaolmos8403]

Came here as soon as I finished the episode. Man what a great one, another 10/10 tbh, loved the changes, loved the things they kept the same. Joel having PTSD for loosing Sarah and now being scared af of losing Ellie, man that convo with Tommy made me emotional. The "you have no idea what loss is" dialogue was executed to PERFECTION, Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey are fucking killing it, they did exactly the same. Oh yeah, THE TOWN FROM TLOU 2?! HELLO, YES! (Shoutout to Dina also) They way the episode ended... man, had me crying even tho I know what's gonna happen. Pedro Pascal was the MVP this one, such a great episode, not one miss!

[@Blinkptx]

As soon as I heard Rains Fall's voice I got super happy. HBO needs to do a GOOD Red Dead series.

[@patr3ktxd180]

I looked it up as soon as I heard him speak haha. The voice is so familiar.

[@eddiebrock4560]

Personally, I love Joel's PTSD. It is the build-up to his berserker mode that's soon to come. Watch out for those who would risk themselves for the people they love.

[@cubanpeteKOTRB]

Yeah agree, he's just purely acting on feelings and in full protection mode. They laying quite some groundwork for this season and coming season(s)

[@rogue8059]

one of the best thing that I love that they're doing in the show is that each character they introduce also mirrors Joel and Ellie's relationship journey and or a foreshadow of what's to come. Like the writing has just been so phenomenal

[@sanketshelke8667]

Yeah, it's going to hurt. After seeing this masterful performance by Pedro as Joel, it's going to hurt a LOT with what will happen in season 2. And I can't prepare myself for it. Game fans know what I'm talking about.
