I love the way Nolan North played David in the game, his delivery is too good and the voice he does for the role fits so well, and the little laughs he does sometimes make you want to punch him even more.

[@wadewilson8011]

One thing I do like that the show changed is David telling a Ellie that she has a "violent heart." In the game he just says, "You have heart." But by saying, you have a "violent heart." Game recognizes game. He sees the potential violence in her because he himself is a violent man. It's fitting because she has to step up and be violent in order to survive. She was facing a monster in David who also has a "violent heart." And as the saying goes: "In order to defeat a monster, you have to become a monster."

[@laserbeamlightning]

I didn't even play the game but I was expecting Joel to reach ellie right after she killed David, I feel like him partially witnessing that moment was so impactful because he can see how much she had to go through without him and doesn't detract from the fact that she did get through it on her own Edit: I understand it was done because Joel getting through the locked door was unrealistic and they wanted Ellie to be wholly independent, what I said in a follow up comment is that even if he realized she was in a really messed up dangerous situation, potential sexual assault is maybe something he wouldn’t have jumped to without a visual. Not to argue for the show Vs the game, I’ve watched both (gameplay) and consider both experiences I thoroughly enjoyed

I really think they change the scene at the end for a reason . However I liked the scene more in the game but generally the episode was amazing. Honestly I even cried more when Ellie put her hand in Joel’s chest and fall asleep and how Joel’s head twirled to Ellie . That was the first scene that I saw and felt like they are father and daughter .

[@Arberin]

They changed it because of safety concerns, or so they claim.

[@andrewtripi9818]

yeah him stopping her in the middle of it watching what she had to do is a way better scene then her already walking out of the building and him not really knowing what happen

[@savingpyro]

They explained in the BTS at the end of the episode that the trope was for Joel to swoop in and save Ellie at the last moment and they wanted no part of that, in the game and now in the show. I think they thought is was more impactful to have Ellie walk out on her own, rather than hand-in-hand with Joel, like even though she killed David, if Joel wasn't there to make her stop she might just stayed in there and kept beating him and burned to death. I agree, I was waiting for Joel to appear and pull her off of David, and was surprised that he was just walking up and caught her. But he knows exactly what she did and what happened in that restaurant. Sorry for the long comment, don't really have anyone to discuss the show with.🤷

[@greatestnitemare6626]

Game was better because Joel witnesses Ellie doing this

[@shortwinger3]

It’s cool to see Troy Baker playing as James here. In the game, James was played by Reuben Langdon who everyone knows as the voice actor for Dante in Devil May Cry 3, 4, and 5.

No fuckin wayyyyyyyyy

[@Peter-AL-Parker]

Far cry 4 pagan min

[@BenGTheSun]

Bella did amazing with the freak out scene at the end, I honestly think part of the reason they changed that was because she played it so well that they didn't want to interrupt it with Joel coming in to grab her. Personally I think that made it even more touching in the game, Joel seeing Ellie in that primal panicked state probably broke his heart even more. The show did it good too, but I don't really get why they decided to change this little detail. Why change a scene when it is basically perfect?

[@kd1306]

Maybe cuz she’s having a mental breakdown, swinging a butchers knife in a locked burning building?

Thank you!!!!

[@TheSchokodragon]

An interesting change I think is that when Joel finds and calms Ellie down, in the game he's the one that pulls Ellie into a hug. In the show it's Ellie that embraces Joel first. Both moves tell different stories which are both true: Game is about Joel finally lowering his walls and allowing himself to comfort and love this child that so desperately needs it. Show is about Ellie being so relieved to have the only person back that truly cares about her.

[@tiktokcompilation816]

I loved David death scene in the show, but it was better in the game with the song "all gone : reunion"

[@ryanli8728]

It also mirrors the death of Sarah. The little trill during Sarah’s death and Ellie’s survival in the game is very similar. Shows the value of Sarah/Ellie to Joel. At 13:41

[@mrpaul_edu]

Calling Ellie “baby girl” is the crucial moment in their relationships. It’s when we realise that he again feels the same attachment to someone as he did to his daughter. This moment defines his final decision at the end of the story.

[@MalphasMikaelson]

Yeah the first time where you see there's some sort of relationship in the game is after they met up with Tommy and they had that fight and he tells Tommy to Ellie's horse and he will keep the one he's sitting on and he tells Ellie to get up on his horse which was a great moment. Obviously the show changed that moment which was sad but also Ellie asking him "do you give a shit about me or not?" where he answered "of course I do" came a little out of nowhere. But yes the baby girl truly confirmed it for both the game and the tv show. I just think cute interactions they had and stuff slowly saw that their relationship was getting better and better whereas the baby girl truly confirmed what Joel really felt about her. I think the show putting that question in there was not a good idea.

[@RH-nk7eo]

I've never picked up on it before but this really makes you realise that in games the voice acting is done straight into a microphone. Every voice sounds so clear and isolated here in the game but in the show it's clear that they're in a room.

I prefer David and Ellie having to fight off some infected. Only reason being is that when Ellie first meets David, she's very hesitant to trust him and rightfully so.

I see a lot of people saying they wished Joel reunited with Ellie in the building as she was stabbing David but I think what they did was a meaningful change. They are planting seeds for the themes of the second game (Ellie’s slow desensitization to violence and desire for revenge) allowing Ellie to take out her anger on David for that prolonged period of time clues us in as to what she’s capable of

[@awkwardomelette7316]

You can't argue that Ellie didn't get to take her anger out on David in the game. It wouldn't diminish that in the slightest if Joel interrupted her at the end.

@@willm678 In the show Ellie took her time to kill David too. The building wasn’t falling down and she walked kind of slowly outside. Joel could go in through the window. Also did you play the game?

That’s arguable. Because in the show Ellie was a lot more frightened when Joel snuck up on her, and her switch in emotion when that happened was very believable and real. And also Joel takes off his jacket and wraps it around Ellie

[@jjxv2023]

It’s really incredible how different of a scene it is where Ellie kills David. In the game, Joel is a superhero who stops Ellie from sinking into that dark place. In the show, Joel finds her already there, and by just being a grounding force, he reminders her (and himself) that you can be in that dark place and come back from it.

This is was my favourite episode by far. Being able to play Ellie as someone so weak but at the same time so strong against people twice her size and after that we play as Joel and it gives us the feeling to get up and just run to save her ASAP to eventually find her being able to take care of herself but also at the same time realizing she's just a kid going through hell, broke my heart.

Disagree. The show shifts the trauma so it is only Ellie’s. Joel doesn’t know what happened or what she went through nor did he stop her.

Game David was very normal when we first meet him, which is why his change into a cannibalistic asshole caught us off guard. Series David looked already unhinged at first glance and his attempts at gaining Ellie's trust made us suspicious but there was some doubts on whether he was a good guy or not. Like a cult leader.

[@lau.tizzir]

I personally think is more powerful when Joel reach Ellie while she is frantically killing David. The emotional impact is greater. For Joel to see Ellie in that state... makes your heart shrink... it would be devastating for any parent. There's a big difference between seeing the conclusion of something horrible or witness something horrible while is still happening to someone you love.

[@sGabrielJ]

i cry every time wtfff.. that final with joel and ellie in series is heartbreaking

[@BrianDurex]

I was absolutely gutted when Joel didn't stop her mid rampage, I thought that was a pivotal moment for them that brought them closer and it teared me up when I was playing it. Surely there was a way to make that scene happen safely :( big up Troy Baker, was awesome to see him in this episode too.

[@bepis1305]

I think his being able to pick her up afterwards was more impactful. From a purely story standpoint: Joel couldn't protect Ellie; she had to protect herself, and we already know he thinks she shouldn't have to do that. (Joel's said it!) He's going to feel even more impetus to protect her going forward, and more rage that he was powerless to help her. So when he makes the choice at the end of the game, there's gonna be that much more helpless fear driving his decision. Also, from a "life lived" standpoint: nobody stopped her because she needed that moment to destroy David, and imo it was her right to do so. Maybe it's just cathartic to me, because I didn't get a convenient meat cleaver and the guy's still walking free, but. The way they handled this was refreshing. It would have been easy to play the cliche, but they decided to let her have her moment of vicious triumph--and then Joel could come in and pick up the pieces afterwards. It, at least to me, conveyed a message: "even if there was nobody to help you through what happened while it was happening, there will be people who care what happened and love you and want to keep you safe in your life at some point," which I found heartening. Idk though, that's of course my opinion, and I'm super biased. It was a powerful scene either way.

[@k-isfor-kristina]

They explained it in the podcast. The building was locked and how would he get in without the keys that were on David, so they had her stumble out clearly traumatized

@@k-isfor-kristina That kind of makes me more dissapointed if I'm honest. 😅 Weird reason to change this impactful scene from the game.

I would understand more if they were trying to convey something along those lines. My only complaint for this episode I guess. I thought the game scene was so much more impactful. The show's version was only saved by the two actor's incredible portrayal.
