It's incredible, this episode was done so well that even people that have a problem with same-sex partners will watch this and not have a problem feeling for these two men, at the end of the day this shows love in its purest form and it's undeniable when done this way

[@kevinbrennen6773]

As a straight man, this was one of the most beautiful and tragic love stories I've ever experienced in a TV show and in one episode none the less. These two actors (Nick Offerman specifically) deserve awards for this. The acting was absolutely top notch. 10/10 for me.

[@charisma-hornum-fries]

It was review bombed on so many sites. I've watched some harsh homophobia over this episode. I sum it up to a segment of people who have been conditioned to a certain amount of emotion and no development. It's unbearable.

[@UlricGrim]

The front door to Bill’s house closes as Joel opens the bedroom door because of the draft created by the window that Bill left open. The details in this show is amazing. You can also look at it as Bill and Frank’s life ended together and the door to their house closes behind them.

[@KevinReactsTV]

The draft totally makes sense. My default was to just be worried about them getting attacked lol

[@kristianberg4264]

If I’m not mistaken, there are two candles on the hall table, that melted down, which I thought was symbolic.

[@toneslice989]

That's a deep cut detail. It's definitely a draft. Not sure if it's because of the upstairs window. I have to watch again now...what a treat!

Can't get over how beautifully done this episode was, knowing they had each other and lived a loving life during an apocalypse was such a refreshing change, I'm glad they made this change from the game. It didn't affect the story, but gave it more depth. I absolutely loved it. The shot of the window and the song at the end was perfect I'm glad they didn't show bodies.

[@KevinReactsTV]

I wouldn't have been able to deal with seeing them and I was worried they would, relieved they didn't. It is incredibly rare to get that much development in a relationship in an apocalyptic situation. It was fantastic, can't wait to play the game in a few weeks!

I love how the catalyst for their relationship was Bill cringing so hard at Frank butchering the song that he had to show him how it’s done

[@KevinReactsTV]

Bill's version of that was so beautiful. I initially thought it was just an overload for him but yeah Frank was doing that song no favors. I was unfamiliar with that song, and I'm afraid to listen to it because I feel like I'll just start bawling again lol

[@hannahizawesomeful]

@@KevinReactsTV omg it's on my spotify and I burst into tears on the subway this morning listening to it!

[@jillcnc]

I think Frank knew earlier than that. I think he knew when he was invited in, when Bill provided fresh clothing, with the dinner served just so, on good plates with charger plates underneath and crystal wine glasses...and the exact right wine. This wasn't just for Frank, we'd already seen that this is what Bill does , and it's not what you'd expect from a guy with a Gadsden flag and an arsenal in the basement. Frank's gaydar went to 11 on all that. The only inconsistency was the dust on the breakfront.

[@EV-wp1fj]

@@jillcnc Great analysis. Also the "I know I don't seem the type" line was pretty self-aware. Bill probably knew he was gay, but never acted on those feelings because of his overdeveloped sense of pragmatism. In a way, the apocalypse and the loneliness and Frank showing up out of nowhere gave him full permission to finally just be himself and he embraced it.

[@EmeryIsWatching]

[@rsanders1569]

I have watched this episode like 5 times now. Cried every time and cried during you watching it. Queer representation is usually about making queer men in particular nothing more than victims and soft. This was was different on every level.

[@KevinReactsTV]

Same, watched multiple times and just wept. It was great seeing their relationship over 16 years. They were absolute bad asses, ultimate survivors and at the same time had an incredibly beautiful relationship and loved each other so deeply. It was a masterpiece!

[@propinthekitchen]

The majority of gay people are very normal like Bill and Frank. Bill and Frank are like me and my husband. We are different, but still the same bearded bastards after 22 years together. Every time I tell people that I am married to a man, people don't believe it, because I don't look like a queer guy. So this episode made me happy, because it show how normal, masculine guys can love each other deeply, to the last breath. And make straight men crying over them. Both me and my husband, loved this episode. It made me realise that he is my purpose in my life! And I think he thinks the same about me. So next time someone "coming out" to you, don't avoid them or say something stupid. Buy them a beer and say "Cheers! You are still my friend. ". ❤️🥃

I was clinging to my husband's arm through the whole back half of the episode - and while I understood Frank and Bill's choices, I looked to my beloved afterwards and said "PLEASE please don't ever make me help you with your suicide."

[@KevinReactsTV]

Yeah, that would be incredibly tough! I'm glad that they got to go out on their own terms in this situation though.

[@God_Is_An_Atheist]

About whether the infected still have some sort of consciousness left: According to infos you can find in the games, in the first stage of infection (the Runners) people still are somewhat alive but the fungus took over control of the body. Some infected manage to keep to some sense of consciousness though. For example, some Runners just stand around and only react to the player if they're directly in front of them (instead of walking around like most other infected, which implies that they have some control left). Early in the first game you can hear a woman cry while she attacks and eats a human, so she seems to be aware of what she is doing but just can't stop it. But on the other stages of the infection every last bit of humanity is gone and only the fungus is left.

[@KevinReactsTV]

Not looking forward to that when I play though it, gonna be tragic hearing them cry when they are in the early stages.

[@nessew7835]

Loved crying along with you lmao. What makes the marriage was even more poignant is that because the world fell apart in 2003 in this world, it means same-sex marriage never made strides to become accepted like it is today. In the middle of a bleak apocalyptic show, It was a nice little reminder of the progress made in the last 20 years.

[@bizjet]

@@KevinReactsTV I agree with all that you praise, just wish they’d used something newer, or less familiar, for the climactic B&F scene music-wise. I’m a big fan of Max Richter, but “On the Nature of Daylight” has been used so extensively throughout cinema and television, while certainly effective, it was somewhat a distraction, conjuring visions of climactic scenes of other favorites like Arrival. The Richter piece was said to be used by the director as “temp music” early in production, with the intention of replacing it with something else.

[@nkgarland]

Bill standing in the middle of the street, firing back at the raiders, is a metaphor for his love for Frank. HIs job, as Bill sees it, is to put himself between Frank and danger. That's how he takes care of Frank. And they illustrate that by having him stand in the open, with no regard for his own body, as long as he is putting himself between the intruders and Frank.

[@KevinReactsTV]

That makes sense, and after watching it again, he basically says that in his letter to Joel. He found someone worth saving and that's what he did. And then he protected him. His love for Frank was incredibly deep. In the end, I'm just glad that he made it through that and they were able to get another 10 years together.

[@scottls]

All I can say is... Excellent reaction! Small side note: I think Ellie needed to dehumanize by cutting the forehead of that infected in the basement so she was able to put it out of it's misery. She wants to have the ability to not feel bad doing it or killing all the infected when it becomes necessary.

[@KevinReactsTV]

That's what I think too, she needed to see that what what inside wasn't human despite what they looked like. It is sad that they still are technically human but in that case it is best to give them peace! I really appreciate you watching the video!

I don't do well with flying. I am quite terrified of it, actually. But I do it because if I want to travel from Montreal to... anywhere worthwhile, I have to take planes. I just came back from a trip to Florida and we were having some turbulences and the only thing I could think about, over and over again, is the conversation between Joel and Ellie. "Dude, you got to go up in the SKY!" and then Joel looking at the downed plane "Yeah well, so did they" Thanks, show, for making me even more scared of flying...

But what they did have was a long loving life together in spite of the apocalypse. They had a better life than many do in reality without a world ending pandemic. We should be so lucky.

Was written so well except for the part where Bill just stood in the middle of the street with zero cover.. That wasn't Bill being dumb but the writers 😅

[@KevinReactsTV]

Someone in the comments mentioned that he was probably out there to draw fire so Frank didn't get hit by a stray bullet and that is the only thing that would make sense, otherwise I don't understand what he was doing lol

[@fxbear]

Absolutely gutted me. I swore I wouldn’t watch any more reactions to this episode, again. Again I broke my promise because I saw your thumbnail and I was drawn to someone who looks a bit like me. Thank you for your sincere reaction.

[@KevinReactsTV]

I’ve have watched a good amount of reactions as well and it hurts every time but the episode was so good I keep watching. I truly appreciate you checking out my video as well!

[@jaykristensen1727]

I thought it was amazing that they chose to get married sitting at the piano where they first really "met", and that when they're having dinner they're sitting together, side by side instead of at opposite ends of the table. It's a beautiful way to encapsulate their relationship and show how it's changed so much from the beginning. Really enjoyed your reaction!

[@KevinReactsTV]

Didn't tie in the piano until right now. Great catch! The final day really brought it all together. Glad you enjoyed the reaction, thanks for watching!

[@JustBen81]

Because of the outbreak they never had a legalized gay marriage. Also frank probably lost friends to aids and experienced the higtened homophobua because of that pandemic.

[@youngsanta6369]

I bawl when I watch that couch scene they remind me of my nan and pap she died of cancer over a year ago and he was like bill minus the double death.

[@KevinReactsTV]

I'm sorry to hear about your nan and pap. That was a tough scene for sure.

[@Raszagil]

Yes, they are still alive. In the game you can hear them sobbing while they eat people.

[@KevinReactsTV]

That's incredibly tragic

[@scottpeters5959]

I don't know why it is so cathartic to watch oher people cry as i did, but i've done it about 8 times now...i feel connected in my little bunker..

[@KevinReactsTV]

Totally get ya, it really is cathartic. Always feel a little better after I watch other reactors.

[@ImElvisTv]

Great reaction =) i am gay and this episode broke me hard!

[@KevinReactsTV]

It was absolutely beautiful! Thank you for watching!

[@Arcadiez]

There is two Tv-shows that have made me right up cry. Last of us, episode 1,3,6,9. And the ending of the series 11.22.63. Not many people know about the 11.22.63, but the ending it hit me hard, like real hard the first time I saw.

[@KevinReactsTV]

I haven’t seen that but looked it up and it sounds interesting, might have to check it out. This season of TLOU was so emotional!

[@Arcadiez]

@Kevin Reacts TV yeah i rewatch 11.22.63 and cried again at the ending. You can be the biggest toughest dude in the block, that last episode is extremely emotional.

[@rytterl]

We can thank Nick's wife for this. He got the script, but hadn't read it yet. She did, and just told him "you're doing this". And damn we're lucky his wife is a cool chick, because this is some of the best TV I have ever watched.

[@KevinReactsTV]

She’s great too! Even more of a legend after learning this!

[@eliteteamkiller319]

The only major fungi infection in history from the food supply which caused people to go crazy and violent that I am aware of (1951, France) ended up giving the infected people hallucinations, which is why they did what they did. One guy jumped out of a high window cause he thought he was an airplane, one guy tried to drown himself because he thought he had snakes in his belly, and one kid tried to strangle his/her grandmother (don't know the details beyond that). It seems in each case they were conscious, but living in an alternate reality. So maybe that's what's going on with these cordyceps infections in the show/game.

[@KevinReactsTV]

Oh dang, that sounds crazy! That would be better I guess, for them at least. Hopefully that's the case although I doubt we'll find out this season if at all.

[@caronstout354]

For comparison, the Salem Witch Hysteria was caused, in part, by ergot-contaminated rye flour used to bake their🍞...

[@ilphi08]

"Long long Time" is like This is Us+ The Walking Dead + Up

[@KevinReactsTV]

I haven’t seen Up or This Is Us 😬 but now I feel like I should. I appreciate you watching ❤️

[@devon596]

I love your reaction style. Subscribed. Also, yeah man this one was rough for me. Going in I knew the characters were together in the game, so I knew immediately what was going to happen to Frank. But the changes the show made, focusing SO MUCH on character development in one episode, and then finishing it in such a beautiful way... yeah. I cried like 3 times this episode, and one of those times was nearly ugly sobbing. What an amazing piece of television, this episode alone is better than most shows I've watched. We are currently on episode 5, going into episode 6 and this is still my favorite episode so far.

[@KevinReactsTV]

The whole show is incredible but I agree, this was my favorite episode. I just know that when I play the game their arc is going to hurt with the knowledge of their backstory. Thanks for watching and welcome!!

[@dragonscales1080]

In the game we find Frank hanging, trying to find a new house, he got bit 😢

[@KevinReactsTV]

That's so sad!

[@DodgerBlue189]

This was a surprise episode and drifted away from the original game, but I liked what they did. In the game, they really don't dive into the history of Bill. This also revitalized the song by Linda Ronstadt. Apparently on Spoitify, the song Long Long Time streaming spiked 4,900 percent.

[@KevinReactsTV]

I can't wait to play the game after this season, especially with some added context from the show. I will probably listen that that song by Linda Ronstadt this weekend, probably couldn't do it without choking up right now lol

[@RumRaspberryMocha]

Did you notice Joel ended up wearing Franks green plaid shirt he wore when they were fighting about fixing up the house?

[@KevinReactsTV]

I did notice that when editing. Great touch!

[@aoz9581]

I sobbed through my first viewing. Bill's fears of/for Frank mirror my own for my own husband as well as the aging/illness/etc components. So double the impact. The creators/writers/actors/etc. are masters at what they did to get me/the viewers so emotionally invested in 2 characters in such a short time. There are movies that don't even accomplish a quarter of what they did in this episode. Outstanding, Outstanding, Outstanding ... Your reaction was awesome as well.

[@aoz9581]

PS. Can't stop watching other reactions. It makes me feel good that people still care about others, that the world hasn't gone completely to pot.

[@KevinReactsTV]

You're absolutely right! To see the positive reaction in the comments and (mostly) positive reaction overall it does renew a little hope in humanity. This was a special episode they gave us! Thank you so much for watching!

[@kevingriffin8854]

My name is Kevin. Kevin, react to Kevin reacting to Kevin react.

[@KevinReactsTV]

(In Keanu voice) Woah...

[@karinakassim]

This one broke me but also brought me hope. They both had the best love life ever and ended it on their terms. I love this so much! ❤

[@KevinReactsTV]

The depth of this episode was amazing. It's such a weird place to be when you're sad but happy for them at the same time. They went out their way, together, which is just so beautiful.

[@ViperofVic]

When I want to find new reactors to watch, I always go for the heartbreaking episodes. I want to know that they're comfortable showing emotions. Consider yourself subscribed to. Great reaction, man.

[@KevinReactsTV]

I appreciate that and welcome!! That's not a bad way to find new reactors!

[@wpaunan]

I'm not the only softy...YAAAAAY!

[@KevinReactsTV]

One of us! Definitely not alone my friend!

[@Simeneri]

This episode is one for the cinematic history books, its such a beautiful contained story. I absolutely bawled my eyes out😢

[@KevinReactsTV]

Absolutely, it was a masterpiece!

[@AmanCreatesArt]

I loved this reaction vid. So pure! Yeah, I will definitely watch this episode again at some point, once I’m emotionally ready! 🥹💘🏳️‍🌈🍓🍷

[@KevinReactsTV]

Definitely want to watch it again, but have to give it some time. robably when I binge it after it's all released. Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!

[@Saphthings]

They have consciousness up to the point when they're running all crazy like in the beginning. In the game they talk about how sometimes you can still hear them crying or asking to be killed while running after someone. Eventually they're too broken mentally so they're essentially brain dead as the mushroom eats away parts of their brains. But there's always a chance they're somewhat... aware..

[@KevinReactsTV]

That's so sad, it would be an awful way to go. Thanks for watching and letting me know!

[@esquizoidereptiliano2092]

I've have seen at least 6 o 7 reactions and yours was definetly one of my favorites. So concentrated in the show, so in tune with what was happening and deducing almost every detail. Plus i really enjoyed your honest emotional reaction. Honestly there are some annoying and not so smart people out there making reactions hahahaha. Saludos desde Chile!

[@KevinReactsTV]

Thank you so much, that is really kind! This episode was so beautiful it had me absolutely captivated!

[@ftlmead2584]

You're absolutely right--i can't remember another piece of TV that's impacted me this hard. As with Lord of the Rings, To kill a mockingbird, and JoJo Rabbit, i'm going to think about this episode every now and then for the rest of my life. it's a magnificent blend of beauty, humor and heartbreak. The best art shows how and why life is precious even in moments of deepest grief.

[@KevinReactsTV]

100% The episode it aptly named not only for the prominent song but also how long it will linger with people! Absolutely beautiful!

[@laratheringfabian]

Man you seem like such a nice dude 🫶🏻 I also love how quickly you pick up on little details ! Great reactions, keep it up 🙏🏻

[@KevinReactsTV]

Thank you so much, I really appreciate hearing that! Thanks for watching!!

[@kcw1879]

I have watched every reaction there is to this episode, and not one reactor so far has realized the front door blows shut because they left their bedroom window open, and the air flows through when he opens their bedroom door. So many details in this episode.

[@KevinReactsTV]

They really did think of everything! I can’t wait to binge it when it’s over and find other things I missed the first time!

[@rocketsquirrel7450]

The best hour of TV I've ever seen.

[@KevinReactsTV]

It’s incredible!!

[@chukasssss]

I just keep going back to you. Yours is truly my favorite reaction to this episode. 🧡

[@KevinReactsTV]

That means a lot, thank you so much!! ❤️

[@kenoathiog1156]

I cry to this day when I think about this episode… I was crying with ya all over again buddy!

[@scoobysnacks]

I think consciousness leaves very quickly given what we saw of Tess in episode 2. I think that the fact she let the stalker put the fungus in her mouth shows that she had very little control left, and it was mere hours after she was bit. I think what tiny bit fo humanity was still present in her she used to light the lighter.

[@KevinReactsTV]

That is a good point! It did take over most of her motor functions pretty quickly. Thank god she had enough left to spark that thing!

[@chukasssss]

Yours is one of my most favorite reaction! 🧡

[@KevinReactsTV]

Thank you so much, that means a lot! ❤️

[@chukasssss]

​@@KevinReactsTV I'm back. I can't help but go back to re-watch your reaction. It's so cathartic 🧡

[@dimensions7834]

You don't have to be gay to appreciate this episode. You have to have a heart.

[@KevinReactsTV]

Absolutely! A story about love is a story about love!

[@caronstout354]

And a human soul...

[@AndreFarrar]

I came to The Last of Us thinking I was gonna get some Resident Evil, The Walking Dead zombie killing action. But, nah. It's a good drama, but I don't like watching sad stuff. This show is extra sad.

[@KevinReactsTV]

It really is a sad show. It makes the good moments that much more impactful. This episode was so emotionally devastating though.

[@Roger.Telechea]

It was incredible to see your reaction, when I saw you cry like that I also cried again as if it were the first time I had seen the episode. I send you a big greeting. You are a very noble and empathetic person.

[@KevinReactsTV]

Thank you so much, that is very kind to say! I appreciate you watching!

[@MortalSora]

Did you ever think we'd get something this good from a *video game adaption*?

[@KevinReactsTV]

Not even close. I knew it would be good but not THIS good.

[@maire9990]

I love this ep with my whole heart. Such a beautiful story and finally we saw the struggle with women and perioids in the apocalypse :DD

[@KevinReactsTV]

It was breathtaking! As a guy I never really thought about that, but that would be a real struggle. Especially rough in an apocalyptic situation. It was nice to see that Ellie wasn’t ashamed (nor should she be) and Joel didn’t really mention it. That’s one thing I love about this show so far, they really pay attention to details! Thanks for watching!

[@Drakhulis]

Loved your reaction, very authentic for such an amazing episode! Consider me subscribed.

[@KevinReactsTV]

Thank you so much and welcome!

[@lincelink]

19:40 I don't remember if they said it in the series, but, there is a special conexion with Ellie and the space stuff, like spaceships. I don't say anything because of spoilers but seeing her happy and kind of excited face in the car, specially when Joel tells her to use the belt... Wow. It was an AMAZING moment, a trully good scene

[@KevinReactsTV]

Oh that's super cool. I really need to get around to playing both games sooner than later!
