Ellie's "I'm sorry" is especially heartbreaking when you think back to after Tess died, Ellie specifically said she wasn't going to say sorry for something she wasn't responsible for. So, in this case Ellie felt responsible for Sam and failed to save him, the way Joel carries the burden of feeling like he failed his daughter and Tess.

[@EsperUltima]

I feel that that sorry has multiple meanings too. "I'm sorry my blood doesn't work", " I'm sorry I couldn't save you", "I'm sorry I fell asleep when I promised to stay awake", survival's guilt.

[@wendydarling5790]

The actors playing Henry and Sam both received well deserved Emmy nominations. We didn't have a lot of time with them, but they made a big impact.

[@CaitDuffy13]

"Can we not meet any infected this episode? Please?" Oh, you sweet summer child...

[@jeromedutil-martin6823]

Fun Fact: Kathleen's bearded lieutenant, Perry, is played by Jeffrey Pierce, who did the voice and motion capture for Tommy, in the games.

[@annabethchase2569]

Yep, there are quite a few of the VA/mocap from the game in the show. You'll see Ellie and Joel's VAs later. And the VA for Marlene is the actress who played Marlene in the show as well. The sad part is Tess's VA from the games Annie Wersching passed away from cancer on the day episode 3 was released, just a week after her character passed away in the show.

[@MisterTorgo]

"Can we not meet any infected this episode, please?" About that... Great episode and thanks for the great reaction!

[@spidahnw]

🤣 Scrolled down when she said just this!

[@irrelevant_noob]

9:16 ... Well on the other hand, there is a silver lining, isn't there? :-)

[@kiarya7939]

I totally choked on my burrito when she said that 😅

[@cherryfreckle]

Thank you for instantly recognising that Henry was in shock at the end! Smh the amount of reactors I've seen turn on him the moment he points the gun at Joel. Idk like he literally just shot his brother, I thought it'd be obvious but most reactors were getting mad at him.

[@MisterTorgo]

This demonstrates one of the reasons I was glad Sofie's watching this show. She always seems to pick up on emotional cues and subtext that others miss. Makes her reactions much more enjoyable to watch than most.

[@adamwells9352]

I feel like so many people fall for the "anything my team does is right" paradigm that the show is actively critiquing that they only manage to understand "Joel good." Frustrating, but kinda makes the show's point for it.

[@EsperUltima]

Yeah, imagine when you are waken up so sudden and you have to make decisions, it's like when you're taking a nap and someone wakes you up and asks you questions, you would just answered instinctively without thinking. Here Henry instinctively tried to protect his brother then also instinctively tried to protect Ellie, he didn't have time to process what was going on, then it hit him. Sofie is an empath, it's not a personality trait that is very common, so it's understandable that many reactors don't catch a lot of things (in terms of psychological) in the show.

[@cherryfreckle]

@@adamwells9352 oh 100%! Had it been the other way round with Henry and Sam being the main characters and we had only just met Joel and Ellie, most people would no doubt recognize he was in shock and not even care he was pointing his gun at Joel. Annoyingly most people will view situations with an already biased opinion.

[@cherryfreckle]

@@EsperUltima Exactly! Henry's main priority is his brother. And as well as agreeing with you about Sofie, I think it's also just a case of the audience being very biased towards Joel (like the other commenter basically said too). Because even if you were to ignore the fact that Henry was moving on instinct or was in shock, people forget that Henry and Sam literally only just met Joel and Ellie like a day ago. This isn't a situation where a character is suddenly pointing a gun at his best friend since childhood lol

[@daws7511]

This episode was so brutal. Sam and Henry went through so much and for it to end like that for them...I can't.

[@NPA1001]

This was the episode I was absolutely convinced that Bella Ramsey was the perfectly cast Ellie … her scream / cry when Henry fired the final shot ripped my heart out … also Bella has clearly played football at school the way she kicked that ball when Sam was playing goal keeper.. when I say football I mean Soccer if you are American..(but really Football if you speak English 😉)

[@arthurcamargo8416]

This episode shadows Bill and Frank in that while Frank was Bill's "purpose" Sam was Henry's purpose. Each ended up killing the other out of love and compassion, and each killed their purpose. So they each took their own lives too. It too, was another hard episode, but we did get to see Joel growing a little bit in his understanding that good and evil are not always black and white. It is easy to judge, and harder to understand. Joel was forced into this situation where he was able to come to his own "understanding." That is why he asked Henry to come along towards the end. Great reactions! I believe that your reactions were all of us when we watched for the first time!

[@lamezageek7749]

that really happened in the game.. but this show really made it more brutal coz sam is a little kid & deaf at the same time..🥺🥺🥺

[@Finecoolguy]

The big guy is a Bloater and they are known for being one of the future stages that the other infected will become sometimes there can be more than just one of them

[@inescosta2671]

17:51 it is a bloater Yes, it's a matter of time. The infected go through various stages: #1 Runner #2 Stalker #3 Clicker #4 Bloater Then, it can kinda shrink and mutate, becoming a bit weaker. It starts being a shambler. #5 Rat king And then it may die

[@nataliewisco8297]

Poor Sophie is going to be wrecked by this show

[@wendydarling5790]

The good news is it doesn't get more brutal than this. But how could it? Keep going, the journey is worth the pain. I'm still obsessed after all these months. Watching other people watch something I've already seen is a weird thing to do, but I keep doing it. I heard someone say this is the closest you can get to seeing something again for the first time. That makes sense.

[@maxwell7709]

Sometimes I also think that it's weird. But i can't stop. It really feels like you are watching something for the first time. And it makes me happy when I see people being excited about something i like

[@TahoeNevada]

Episode 8 disagrees with you 😂

[@wendydarling5790]

​@TahoeNevada Well yeah, there's that. I was thinking more in terms of emotional devastation.

[@erickwebster1973]

The big guy is called a bloater but I call him Daddy Clicker😅

[@hazelventura]

The reaction to the bloater was hilarious 😂

[@irrelevant_noob]

Seems that gamers would get desensitized by now, and would file that as just part of the world-building... But it really *_is_* remarkable to see a first-time-watcher's reaction. 🙃

[@jp3813]

@@irrelevant_noob They explain bloaters in the game.

[@irrelevant_noob]

@@jp3813 not sure how that matters tho... My point was that playing the game exposes one to *_fighting_* them, and doing that enough time (even if there _would've_ been no explanation) will gradually erode their impact.

[@jp3813]

@@irrelevant_noob I'm sure if they appeared multiple times in this show, it would have the same effect.

[@hugoleo2000]

The big monster is a "bloater", one infected for many years. It's so strong it can knock down walls.

[@sangeethlakshmanan7778]

yeah the big one is called a bloater...they turn out like that after years of infection it is one of the stages of infection.. first stage is runner , second stage is stalker third stage is clicker and fourth stage is bloater and theres more..

[@TeamHarrisonMachine]

I TOLD YOUR ASS this show is bomb. I never believed it could happen but they were able to put all the emotions and shock of eight seasons of Game of Thrones in one season. This show is bomb

[@ceezyjeffezy2213]

LoU is the master of making you care about a character in 40 minutes then taking it away in 5 minutes. Most shows need a whole 22 episode season to do it.

[@irrelevant_noob]

TBF they had a good inspiration in the game... But the point still stands, the story writers were top notch.

[@Etticos.]

A neat detail: infected Sam doesn’t react to Ellie until he actually sees her because he is deaf.

[@TartarusIvy]

I kept thinking at the end that now Ellie knows she can't save Joel either if he gets bit. Or anyone else she might care for in the future.

[@watershipdowneyjr]

I like to imagine that the last thing that went through Henry's head (apart from the bullet) was Kathleen's voice saying "Kids die all the time, Henry ".

[@TheNarghes]

Bro... 😂

[@frozenharold]

As much as what Kathleen says about kids seems cold, it's not only accurate, but turns out to be foreshadowing. Kathleen didn't just lose a brother. When she is in her old room, they said they found her after talking to her mom. So her mother is alive, and was when her son got beaten to death by FEDRA. And from what we know about KC FEDRAm it wouldn't be surprising if his body got put on display as a warning. While Bryan was begging for his life, he mentioned that his mother was nearby and she could help. The only woman we saw nearby was Kathleen. She was also the only woman with the kind of authority to do anything to help Joel. So, I'm pretty sure Kathleen had to watch her son die as well without being able to help him. That is why she mentions Ellie being with the guy who killed Bryan and "kids die all the time." And, as it turns out, just hours after Kathleen says maybe Sam was supposed to die, Henry kills him.

[@virgiliodantetv]

Jajaja 5 episodes in and I'm just realizing that I'm having so much fun watching your reactions to this show, thank you so much for sharing your reactions also I love so much your reactions to the originals 👌🏼

[@hmnshux]

9:23 "can we not see any infected this episode? Please!" 😂😂😂... Yeah sure! 👍☺️

[@volhan.p.9722]

I was going to ask, if that's Suga's Seesaw as your intro music and then found your reactions to them 4-5 years ago. Good pick😊

[@Dark__Thoughts]

2:24 Those people were the pile of charred bodies from previous episode. I find Sam & Henry's death in the game even worse, because you actually spent way more time with them than in the show and there's some cute scenes that you can potentially catch with Ellie in regards to Sam as well. But yes, their death though, just as that of Tess, and others... Are basically there to emphasize just how fucked up this world they are living in is. That in turn then emphasizes the importance of Ellie's immunity, both for the world, but also herself, as she is the potential solution to fix this broken world and give humanity another chance. A lot of their journey and experiences is basically for character development purposes. This episode also has some interesting parallels with the second game, but that will have to wait... (probably for long if you stick to the show exclusively)

[@sunnyes2009]

The big boy that came out of the hole is called a Bloater and is the 4th stage of infection.

[@davidedwards1705]

16:33 Welcome to Kansas City. 17:33 Enjoy the nightmares.

[@Carmelmen1]

The actor who played Sam is deaf in real life, which made it more gut-wrenching.

[@Anna-xi8hu]

18:07 That little girl is gymnast in real life Sofie I love your reactions so much I wish you will watch The Walking dead show and also Tell me a story with Paul Wesley

[@samuraiwarriorsunite]

This was my favorite and the most painful episode of the series for me. Anyone who has had to take care of younger siblings understands.

[@nicholasborkowski3589]

There's a reason it's called The Last of Us. It has meanings upon meanings

[@bawzzzz]

Waiting for the next parts!!

[@ozzell]

Without saying any spoilers, the Kathleen storyline is an addition to the show. Sam and Henry are also in the games, but their connection with Kathleen is an addition. And I know exactly why they added these subplots. Both Henry and Kathleen will be 'repeated' in a way this and next season.

[@Gabriel_Moline]

Excellent reaction!🌿🌸

[@heikkieronen5226]

Im in love with your reactions, sorry.🥰

[@RavensTheNextDynasty]

Literally everyone that has been in an episode up until now has died pretty much lol

[@mehim2893]

As many times as I've seen this episode I never realized the reason zombie Sam doesn't attack Elle in her sleep is because he was deaf. Great observational skills you have.

[@andresjf0608]

17:13 BLOATER!!!!! 😂

[@elia_simon]

This was the best ep of the season imo, it was so good! So much action. I love Henry and Sam so much! They were such great characters. I'm still bitter about their ending, they should have just gone off on their own and maybe we could have seen them later. This show is depressing as hell.

[@sherokhan3148]

you reacted to the same scene twice?!?!1:15

[@cheshirekoala9457]

Can you watch Chernobyl? It's from the same showrunners. An absolute master piece and also about a brutal cruel world.

[@TomTomson81]

Again, this episode shows through a character the character of Joel. In this case, Kathleen's. Kathleen behaves after her brother's murder in a similar way to how Joel behaved for 20 years after his daughter's death. Abolut ruthless and killing innocent people. It's only because of Ellie that he's gotten to the point where he tries not to do that anymore. Just because Kathleen hasn't gotten to that point yet doesn't mean she was worse than Joel. Henry also represents Joel. Both sacrifice everything for their family, no matter how many lives of others it costs. Henry has betrayed all his people by his betrayal. Many families were further raped and murdered by Fedra as a result.

[@timmaytargaryen]

So sad, so good ❤

[@boqndimitrov8693]

monsters make monsters. i don't see much difference between the rebels and the old power in the city.

[@irrelevant_noob]

Perhaps "power corrupts" might be a better fit here.

[@boqndimitrov8693]

​@@irrelevant_noobthe corpses of the informers were still smoking in that side street. one day is hardly enough for "corruption by power". otherwise I would immediately agree with you.

[@irrelevant_noob]

@@boqndimitrov8693 it's not just one day tho, she's been a leader for a while.

No, it's not understandable that Ellie thinks she can heal Sam this way and doesn't even think about telling Joel and Henry. It's extremely dumb and doesn't happen in the game.

[@cherryfreckle]

She's a child. She's not gonna be making the best or smartest decisions.

[@MaCherie92]

That repeated reaction makes me wonder how genuine your reactions are. Sorry.

[@gregdurland726]

I was thinking the same thing

[@TomTomson81]

That's a bit of a mistake in the cut, you hero. Videos are edited. There was a small doubling in the cut. You should be able to think that far.

[@MaCherie92]

@@TomTomson81 Hey hero!!! Thanks for your comment 💘. The reaction was not the same in both cuts! Hope you have the best day! 😍

[@peaceisnature]

How genuine her reactions are? Are you serious... She may have just skipped back a few seconds, rewatched that scene, reacted basically the same way twice - because her reactions are genuine, and while editing the video accidentally uploaded both moments. When I watch a show, sometimes I go back to see something I think I missed or misheard or miss saw. Maybe that's what happened here? Sofie is one of the most genuine reactors I watch!

[@caribbeanman3379]

Maybe there was an interruption a few seconds later - a knock at the door, a spouse or child entering the room, etc - so she had to pause and started over a few seconds before, and that resulted in the doubling.

[@lRomez]

Remember everything you said about Kathleen when season 2 comes out...
