We're gonna pretend that ending didn't happen... *The Last of Us* ~ Ep 6 Reaction

Another week, another notch down on the mental stability!! I LOVED this episode so much, mainly because both Bella and Pedro slayed DOWN with the acting, like, give them their Emmy's NOW pls. The scene where Joel cried, the scene where Ellie confronted Joel about leaving her, UGH. But good thing everything worked out and absolutely nothing bad happened at the end!!! Coolcoolcoolcoolcool.
If you're just as happy as I am about how HAPPY this show is, give this video a like, respectfully comment your thoughts (no spoilers obvi!) and as always, SUBSCRIBE!!! Or don't. I can't make you. :)
Ps - some video clips are kinda "buffery"??? like not totally smooth, and idk what's up with that but apologies in advance lol.

Please don't look up stuff.. you'll only end up spoiling the future episodes and seasons.. and the game

[@katlikethatprodz]

honestly i would be pissed at tommy too. he is living his best life while joel was worried sick and because he cares so much about his brother and hasn't heard from him in 3 weeks, went on a mission to find him which also got tess killed. it is implied that they stayed in contact regularly but then tommy finds a nice place to stay and completely cuts joel off without a warning!? not even a last message of "I'm fine don't come for me!" like ok the community he lives in now is careful but sure he could have at least told joel not to look for him if he had to cut communication!? even before the apocalypse it was implied that joel was always there to pick tommy up. when he got the call to bail him out of jail the conversation clearly stated that wasn't the first time joel helped tommy out of trouble. when tommy said "thanks for still giving a shit about me" was weird because that's all joel seems to do. taking care of tommy. the feelings don't seem to run both ways. so honestly i get why joel was extra closed off and a little pissed at tommy. sorry for the rant lol great reaction as always tho ❤️

[@hehaowei5228]

Can we just talk about how because he stayed up in episode 4 to keep watch in that forest, he was too tired by the end and slept like a log and didn't hear Henry and Sam come in? And now he's mortified of "failing in his sleep"? Then he falls asleep again this episode and feels like he failed her? Then now we know he's dreaming abt Sarah like every night and is absolutely horrified of sleeping at all? GIVE THE POOR MAN A GOOD NIGHT'S REST FOR THE LOVE OF GOD 😢

[@lavenderllamamusic]

also remember, he suffers some hearing loss from his right ear. The side he slept on the night Sam and Henry came in, he had his left ear (the good ear) on the pillow, which meant he could only hear from his right ear (the bad ear). That explains why he didn't hear the footsteps on the glass. While he was tired, i think his instinct might've kicked in if he would've been able to hear better

[@jasonp768]

You’re an editing genius.

[@miroh8]

The only change I've noticed in Ellie's character is that she's more comfortable with Joel and is acting a bit warmer towards him now that they've spent 3 months together

[@everybodylovesrae_]

Oh yeah, for sure! I was thinking more about her being less soft since episode 5, which would be understandable I think

[@mcfearsun]

That dog in episode 1 knew something was up with the neighbors too. Doggy sense!

[@texn7526]

The acting coming from Pedro and Bella in this episode in particular is amazing! So many feels😢 When Joel is talking to Tommy about how he's "failing in my sleep" really hit home how scared and how much he does indeed care for Ellie. Great episode Rae, thanks so much! Really enjoying your reaction videos🙂

[@everybodylovesrae_]

Yes, they killed it! I'm in awe of both of them, I hope they end up getting alll the awards

[@kevinpetsky49]

I think Joel at the beginning is a bit pissed at Jackson. He did a dangerous mission to get a battery to save Tommy, and because of that, Tess died. When he gets to the town and sees how good they have it, he realizes that Tess' death is kinda for no reason. I think that's why he is a bit put-off to start. Also, he blames Maria for not allowing Tommy to communicate and causing his radio silence that led to Tess' death

[@richardyoung3462]

Elaine Miles, playing the wife in that cabin couple, was in a very good show called Northern Exposure. The husband, Graham Greene, appeared in that show as well, but is more famous for his various movie roles including Dances with Wolves, The Green Mile, and Maverick.

[@movieman175]

in the event where you're about to get up on a horse and be bouncing around and moving around it probably is best to pull it out.

[@weirdversions]

Exactly what I thought 👍🏻

[@everybodylovesrae_]

Michael Scott is typing...

[@prototype4218]

i probably know the real reason he pulled it out. in the Game he fell from the first floor and landed on rubble and got impaled a Metal pole and ellie had to lift him off the Pole so to get the same result of Bleeding out he had to pull the Baseball bat out

[@TrzaGoesHard]

Stab 101 is not to remove the piece. He is screwed regardless because galloping on a horse with a shunt of wood in your guts is as bad if not worse.

[@ethanahmu6149]

You’re supposed to leave it in if you have the ability to remain still. If you have to run (like they did) the wood would do more damage remaining in the body so it’s best to remove it.

[@YoonbeenPark]

Also, the “don’t remove the stabbing object” advice is meant for modern humans with imminent access to better, professional medical care. Not for apocalypse survivors who immediately need to escape on horseback AND have no guarantee of high-quality medical care elsewhere.

[@mjeid4835]

so 2 things. the editing on these reactions is extremely enjoyable so props to whomever is in charge of that. 2nd this girl is incredibly cute so props to her.

[@spacemaster13]

I think the dog in the first episode, named mercy I think, could also sense the infection on the old lady in the wheelchair. So I’m assuming all or most dogs can do it💜💜

[@GrayMoe]

I have watched a lot of people react to this show but you have the best edits by far 😊 Keep up the good work 😁

[@everybodylovesrae_]

thank you so much!!

[@DariusFrench6273]

This is the most vulnerable we’ve seen from both Joel and Ellie yet. We know watching from Joel the desperation to close himself off to preserve whatever humanity he doesn’t want to lose yet and him breaking down in front of Tommy is indicative of how much he’s barely keeping it together, how this dam he built up for himself is breaking apart the more he gets closer to his new surrogate daughter. Ellie, on the other hand, is a whole different kettle of fish. This is where her abandonment issues begin to boil over the more she loses her innocence; between being orphaned by her parents, being pawned off by Marlene, losing Riley, Tess, Henry and Sam, now she has to watch her father figure pawn her off and abandon her too? This girl can’t catch a damn break; it breaks my heart when she repeatedly tells him “Don’t leave me alone”.

[@everybodylovesrae_]

yessss to everything you just said

[@piratetv1]

[@wholahaywhatdahell]

I’ve just binge rewatched this whole season with your videos, absolutely love your reactions! ❤

[@dustfan]

Yeah the acting was top notch in this ep. The way Pedro's voice cracks when he says "I've lost Something" and "They'll shoot her" broke me. I'm glad you picked up when Joel asked Maria to leave so he could have a moment with "family" he wasn't asking Ellie to leave. Also when Joel tells Ellie what to dream about he combined their dreams. He full on sees Ellie as family (kin) at this point, that's why he started having the panic attacks. He just needed the fights with Tommy/Ellie to realize it. Also, remember the dog in the first ep knew something was up with Nana so it makes sense if you don't have access to the FEDRA tester you could use dogs to sniff it out. Either they are not as accurate or maybe because it's been so long since she was bit the dog didn't pick it up. Even though they tried to build up the tension there I was never worried because they had no way out if the dog picked it up so I knew it wouldn't.

[@zimvader25]

Dogs pick up sickness, not actual blood antibodies like an electronic tester would. She's infected but completely healthy, hence the dog wouldn't be able to tell.

[@shep4life]

Amazing acting dang. Give them all the awards

11:59 Kevin was only 3 and was killed 2 days after Sarah's Murder. That is heart breaking.

[@Fernando-qd4ur]

What I can say is: y'all will need a lot of willpower to endure this whole show to the end. So stay strong, whatever happens. Also, if it doesnt make any sense AT ALL, it will be explained much later (maybe one or two IRL years later). The big deal about this game is you will either love or hate it, there's almost zero middle ground.

[@everybodylovesrae_]

[@shawnwacek6791]

Pedro Pascal did a phenomenal job telling Tommy his stresses and issues that scene was a masterpiece! ♥️🥰 Bella Ramsey did an awesome job in that scene with the argument between her and Joel in the bedroom scene in the game I wish we got more emotion from it the TV show did that way more justice for me opinion-wise 🥰 They're doing this game Justice for this TV show it is f****** awesome masterpiece of a TV show Way better than I thought it would be the next episode is about a downloadable DLC extra game part of the original game but the story of Riley and Ellie Left behind You're in for a treat! It was one of my favorite things about the game that was downloadable content story-wise! 🥰

[@itsucksthemost]

where's the scene 17:10 from? the one with the guy screaming into a suit

[@fennecfox1441]

yeah the ending of the episode wasnt great, it was actually poorly done, sure it smore realistic but it takes away all the emotion in that scene completely, idk if their intention was to draw apathy from their audiences but they go it

[@Jimmie_Rudolfsson]

Listen to the podcast and you know the reason why it couldn't possibly be the same as the game.

[@PlasticPariah]

I can sense the ignorance even through anonymity. Apathy? Lmao biggest show on tv from both critics and fans. The game is always there to play bud it wasn't wiped from existence. Love people who have watched a few youtube videos on cinema thinking they can do better than professionals - it's always hilarious. Please, I'm dying to hear you use the word "pacing" so I can complete my bingo card.

[@Dave3Dguy]

??? Took away all the emotion? Dude it was devastating. Not one reactor so far in the dozens I've seen has shown apathy at this scene including everybodylovesrae. I guess there are always the exceptions though.

[@Ladco77]

That's bait.

[@Fernando-qd4ur]

What he means is Ellie's part was cut to 1/8 of what it was in the game. She fought half a dozen man entirely by herself, moved only by the will to save Joel. The action in both Joel's perspective and the later rescue was much less intense in the sake of "realism"...

[@xoblythe]

Joel's monologue to Tommy was mostly scripted, but Pedro improvised the "I'm failing in my sleep" part, which amazes me because it makes sense with the rest of his fears and what he's going through. The argument scene between Joel and Ellie is a near 1:1 recreation from the game, right down to the wallpaper on the walls. It's also by and large the most iconic scene of the game/the one that sticks with people the most when they play. I don't have much else to say, other than bring tissues for the next episode and buckle up for when episodes 8 and 9 roll around, because "emotional rollercoaster" does not even begin to describe what's about to go down. 🫠
