3:20 That old man (Milton) is Graham Greene. He's an amazing indigenous Canadian actor who has been in more than 40 films and has appeared in over 40 TV shows. His wife (Florence) is played by Elaine Miles. She is a stand up comedian with 19 acting credits under belt.

[@reynaldolorenzo8409]

17:30 in my opinion it’s not that he is not as badass as video game Joel, it’s just that he is more realistic and more humane. In the game Joel is a superhuman old man with unlimited stamina, is faster and stronger than every man in their prime and in the show they have done emphasis on the characters age with getting tired, loosing hearing from shooting without protection, etc, but this Joel beat a man to death, killed and outsmarted the raiders, killed two Clickers and like Henry said “and you are still alive?!”, Clickers are REALLY tough as they showed and not many people live to speak about them, as a sniper he took down the truck driver with an amazing shot and a lot of infected, the cannibal that ambush him Joel still was able to break his neck, etc. He is still bad ass it’s just more realistic and less action for obvious reasons but he is still a beast.

[@frozenharold]

The couple in the cabin are two fantastic actors who have been acting for decades. Elaine Miles has done lots of television work and Graham Greene has done much of both television and film. (Dances With Wolves, Maverick, Die Hard With a Vengeance, The Green Mile.) Their personalities were meant to mirror Joel and Ellies'

I’m absolutely loving this adaptation. They really are focusing on the things you can do better in the tv medium. And you can really feel the love they have for the game. It’s just so good. Also! Been loving your reactions to it! They always bring new things I don’t quite catch on my own viewing of it. Love that

[@Scott_Burton]

This couple Marlon (Graham Greene) and Florence (Elaine Miles) are just iconic "Leave us alone" folks. Graham is always a + to anything he appears in, and Elaine is hard to find an excuse to dislike. 10:33-10:38 "I'm sure only senses active infection" You know, I knew, and already established in my mind the dog could be more discerning. Even brought that up in comments elsewhere, but I never really thought about it until you mentioned it. The "scanning device" is a true/false "is this specific marker present" for it to be relied on from a single poke on the neck would almost certainly be looking for something bloodborne, from the introduction of the fungus into the body. The dog on the other hand, can apply his mind to say "yes, this is present, but, these other six things are not" Just as a scanning device can reveal a tumor, some dogs can detect a cancerous tumor before it would be detected in an exam. Likewise, some dogs alert to neural signs prior to a seizure. The dog is likely on alert because "well that's his job" plus he picked up what the scanner would pick up, but the rest isn't there, and Ellie being a bit on edge doesn't exactly instill confidence in the dog that she isn't a threat. Maria had probably by now been told "My brother might come looking for me, since I'm not responding" and be aware of Joel's general appearance last Tommy saw of him, so when a guy and a teenage girl come across their patrol and is saying "We don't want any trouble, we're just looking for my brother." She asked his name, and when the name was that of Tommy's brother, "Well, guess I should've saw this coming." TBH, Tommy knows his brother isn't going to tell him that this was seen with Joel's own eyes and is true, unless Joel actually saw it. It's the "unquestionable witness" that Tommy needs to actually believe this story.

[@jamesmeechan6983]

And a lot of people want to be unrealistic about Joel taking on a lot of guys at university

[@Dularr]

Or the idea that a village would function based on communism.

[@justbeyondmythoughts]

Honestly him taking the guys on at the university isn’t that unreasonable to see happening. However, his fall and getting punctured with a metal pipe is. at his age he should’ve broken his back not Tom mention likely punctured a major organ and died. But “video game logic” wins and now we have people bitching about Joel being weak. Like Jesus Christ

14:00 that cup is absolutely ideal for the apocalypse. It’s reusable. And on the road there will always be a river, lake, etc.

[@gbrown932]

Omg Tommy's wife is Tara from True Blood!

[@TomTomson81]

Fantastic episode. Like every episode so far. As far as I know, the Divacup was launched in 2003. So it's just in time for the series. Lucky. 😁 The dog here has noticed that something is wrong with Ellie, but he has also noticed that there is no danger from her. Something Fedra's detectors can't detect. They only know black (red) and white (green), just like Fedra is. And of course, Ellie is infected, otherwise the detector would not have shown red. Who knows how many immunes have actually died from such a scanner. Dogs are the better scanners. 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. Maria knows people and she is no bullshit. Joel to Ellie: "Dream of sheep ranches on the moon." This sentence says so much. Joel already connects Ellie's dreams with his. But he does not see this so clearly at the time and still tries to prevent the inevitable. Ellie drank from Joel's liquor and it was "STILL gross". I think that was a callback to Ellie's flashback DLC. This episode was a feast for everyone who played Part 2. we met Dina (Ellie yelled at her as she dined), properly Jessie (cinema), Shimmer, Bison Bar, sheeps, kids playing snowball, Astronauts, Jackson see from the inside. Simply fantastic. The campfire scene was not in the game, but was originally supposed to be included. So far, only a concept art was left in the bonus material of the game. I think the scene would have been important in the game because it underlines once again that both Marlene and Joel are absolutly sure that it is possible to produce a cure.

[@wenderajade]

You do actually find out whether the monkeys are infected in the game. A firefly scientist left a memo behind about it. I won't confirm or deny because you sound like you don't want to know, but for the curious the answer is out there~

[@SidPhoenix2211]

In the games, they are just carriers, tho. They aren't actually clicker-like creatures. You look at their models and it is just regular looking monkeys.

[@V.elociraptor]

They played the game on their gaming channel. They just don't remember.

[@cendererol]

Joel feels so alone for long time even was with Tess. First time he could really care about someone like his daughter and he told that white lie which is ''everybody love contractors''. Look while he saying how he needs Ellie's hug and attention.

[@SidPhoenix2211]

it's not a new thing, btw. In the games and the show... the only genuinely good place to live in that is a caring community, that is secure, where life is legit worth living... is Jackson. There are other communities that are halfway decent (Part 2) but are just mired in bullshit conflicts and dangerous lines of thinking.

[@Uldrod]

This episode and the second one are my favorites so far! Yeah, they're doing an amazing job with the adaptation. In terms of action, I think it's more realistic if Joel tries to run away from danger and not have to deal with 15 guys and 17 infected.

[@antoniolmartinez8426]

It’s funny, as soon as I started to laugh with the old couple at the beginning I suddenly had a feeling of dread. Oh these people are dead, huh? Cause as soon as you feel anything for a character there dead in this show! Loved this reaction

11:28 The Brothers Miller. I want so badly to see a videogame/show featuring the time of Joel & Tommy after Sarah's Murder and ending at when they did the 20 time jump.

[@zimvader25]

Show will probably just include the 5 years between the 2 games. I know everyone says "sEaSon 1 iS paRt 1 aNd SeAsoN 2 iS pArT 2" as if HBO is just banking on milking these for only 2 seasons. That's just goofy. They literally have seasons/years before getting to part 2 after this season. Absolutely no reason to limit your cash grab to just 2 seasons.

[@davidedwards1705]

[@parker469a]

In the game the monkey's were infected which is why the guy that was on the recorder that Joel skipped 90% of his final will and testaments was left behind since he was bite by one of the monkeys. It's probably why the other fireflys all left since he was probably the only researcher there.

[@user-vc5rp7nf8f]

would've been nice if they spent more time sneaking around the university and kept the fall-stabbing part. but it would've meant less time on the joel/tommy relationship and some of the other joel/ellie scenes. would've been cool if this episode ended with them arriving at the university, and ep 7 would be them sneaking around and finally joel getting stabbed. but overall i'm quite happy with every episode, it's been very well made

@@V.elociraptor It would be enough to impale you to rebar espacially rebar is a little sharp in the edge.

[@V.elociraptor]

@Seyit Ali HAZAR Rebar's normally blunt, and no it would absolutely take a significant height. And again, it would've been literally impossible for Joel to survive an injury like that in real life - that's the type of injury that's dicey even after emergency surgery. He could've easily been dead on impact. Ellie is not going to magically heal Joel with some bandages and penicillin. I love the game wholeheartedly, but it was never realistic, and they simply couldn't recreate it in live-action. The stab wound in the show is actually a injury that Ellie could realistically treat.

[@JustinBorowski13]

@CygnusVoyager all of that could have been conveyed with the dog scene. Instead they get directions from the old people and then get lost again anyways when Joel somehow can't figure out that the river is the river on the map. We already know there are things to fear, it's the apocalypse. There's raiders everywhere and infected roam. The only reason anyone needs to be reminded of danger is because they have severely decreased the amount of danger in this world.

[@JustinBorowski13]

@CygnusVoyager panic attack in Jackson when he thinks about Sarah is good enough for me, I don't need him to have 3 4 or 5 panic attacks to understand what's happening. I would've preferred we got a few more minutes of conflict in the university. Now they killed 1 of David's guys instead of a bunch of em. Makes ellie seem less badass and joel as well. Guy can barely take on one raider who somehow snuck up on them in broad daylight and I'm supposed to believe he's gonna fuck up half of David's crew and the fireflies now that he's taken on a horrible wound? I'm sorry they kinda fumbled the bag here

If you were part of that community (same size, circumstances, level of development, resources) what would you tell your mates regarding the kind of economic relations that you'd specifically like to establish between you and them? I know nothing would be ideal, but still. Would you like to have a say in everything that concerns you as they do, would you demand more goods for the more valuable work you do, would you be upset if someone does get more than you, would you work less if someone is being lazy with no repercussions (say a smaller ration) would you and a few homies try to dominate and rule the others by force? Etc.
