Ellie killing David didn't even feel like a win. It just genuinely felt like a watching a kid full of fear trying to survive and it absolutely broke my heart... What an absolutely fantastic episode.
Yes when people get excited and start clapping and smile and love it..... I get it. That's how I feel for the first two chops. But after that I'm just horrified and heartbroken.
@@soph6539idk horror desensitises people, for me while it’s sad for her it’s super interesting for her character. Sure she shot a man but that was an entirely different situation. It’s easily for me my favourite ellie moment and that kind of brutality will shape the future of the show. It’s horrendous but that’s just the horror genre and its willingness to go that far is why i personally love it🤷♀️
This episode shows us what Marlene meant when she said she knew what Joel was 'Capable of.' He was so afraid he lost his edge, but when the chips are down Joel at 10% is better than most people at 100.
When you thought you heard an infected, it was just the deer. Animal calls can be creepy when you don't know them: A kangaroo sounds like a man coughing, scares the daylights out of campers and hikers in Australia the first time they hear it, as you'll wake in the middle of the night thinking there's someone outside your tent. "I'm not crying, are you crying?" It's The Last of Us, everyone's crying.
Deer actually make that noise when digging through brush/fallen branches with their antlers. They'll also smack branches to knock down acorns, pine cones, or nuts/fruit. And it sounds pretty similar to the noise in the game, though they definitely modded the sound to make it closer to the Clicker noise, to fake us out.
In the university section in the game, Joel would often state his dislike of the name of the horse they were on. They didn't ask tommy the horse's name so Ellie named him Callus. So, Troy Baker (the actor who played Joel in the games) played James in this episode, David's right hand man. And he shoots Ellie's horse (not given a name, but it is supposed to be Callus). Finally, after all these years, Joel got his revenge on Callus lol
i loooove that you both fell immediately into what craig and neil wanted. the audience assumed joel would rescue ellie - but she can save herself. they did so well misdirecting and guiding the audience with the cuts to joel
@@アキコ2003 it’s not a good thing to go through but in order to survive in this world, sometimes you gotta do what’s necessary to save yourself. And that’s exactly what Ellie did.
@@scoopskiii i know? I'm literally just stating that's its not a good thing And no it wasn't intended to be badass neighter in the game or the show, it's intended as terrifying and sad
@@アキコ2003 well yeah, it's not supposed to be an amazing thing - but it's media. it depicts horrible things all the time. look at horror and thriller. this is just another aspect of that. but truthfully, according to both creators in the behind the scenes, it's to show that no one but ellie is ever going to be able to save her. no spoilers, but that's quite telling. so. yeah. it is sad, it is terrifying but that's the world. and that also bleeds into our own world.
I was excited for this episode. One of the best sequences in the game that lead to one of the most brutal ending sequences of the game. Also, the heavy implication that they're not only confirmed cannibals but they probably fed that girl's father to her is an insane addition.
"Right in the middle, fuck it" I mean, it's actually been proven that penicillin in the affected area actually does promote better healing so ^^; nothing bad about it (except the pain it would cause Joel to feel the pressure on his wound but he's knocked out) From a study about it: "Prophylactic systemic antibiotics significantly lower the risk of postoperative infection, and injection of antibiotics directly into the wound cavity has been found to be even more effective."
I mean yeah, something you inject into you absorbs into the cells of the area you stick it in first, unless it's delivered IV and carried directly into the bloodstream
I was more worried about the AMOUNT than the place itself. Like.... Does the bottle have instructions about the amount you're supposed to give someone?
@@lillykawaiifox Many manufacturers do actually have dosing guidelines on the bottle. Unfortunately, Ellie doesn't seem to actually read the directions 🤦♂️
The fact that David reaching for his zipper is what allowed Ellie to grab the clever is such an amazing detail. Dude was thinking with the wrong head and it got him killed. I also feel like a lot of reactors miss that fact that David was feeding the little girl he pimp slapped her dead father.
I was bawling at the end of this one.. it’s solidified now more than ever that Joel has taken on the role of Ellie’s dad. She didn’t correct anyone who called him her father this time. Him calling her baby girl like he did Sarah. It was all just so sweet.
I loved the "I am not crying, are you? No... That was so fucking cool" all behind little tears... Fucking got me laughing, cant wait for the season finale... AND THEN WAIT WHO KNOWS HOW LONG before season 2
At first I felt that they were just going with a typical bad religious person doing bad stuff but eventually it was revealed that he was a schoolteacher and that makes it extra creepy.
@@アキコ2003 oh no, it wasn't about the religious person at all but about a person with that particular "mindset. And by you rant, you give those homophobic people justification for their objections and rants. This is why lgbtq community was upset Dahmer, would you say it was rightfully depicted lgbtq community? If someone is offended by this, one can certainly be offended by something else. And if you are troubling understanding it again, I am talking about pedophilia. Which is why him being a teacher in the past is creepy because they, teachers, are surrounded by children. He is an opportunist. And you should chill down and maybe read and comprehend and what is written and make stuff up
If this is your first time watching this story, I highly recommend watching this episode again knowing they’re cannibals. It adds such a layer of intensity that was expertly handled
22:16 That was the one part in the game version that made have to actually put down the controller and have a little weep. I don't know if it's because you're so much more involved in the game version, and the story is told over longer and more complicated sessions, but when he finally, FINALLY called her baby girl... pressed pause and 😭
Loved the reaction guys. This episode was insane, joel calling ellie baby girl broke me. Ellie went beast mode on david , joel would have stopped at nothing to find ellie.
I believe most of the series was filmed around Calgary, Alberta, Canada with a few scenes/episodes scattered through more rural Alberta, like the Blood-Kainai reservation. Give it up for Canadian film tax-credits!
what personally really got me, was the fact that David told us he was a teacher before. A teacher of young girls. He always had a violent heart and his favourit part was always the fight. That piece of sh*t probably assaulted his students before everything went down.
Bridget was correct, in that Ellie probably should have read the bottle on the penicillin because it typically provides the instructions for route of administration which I'm pretty sure would have administer intravascularly (i.e. by vein) and not subcutaneously as Ellie decided to do.
I really enjoy watching people react that have played the game. And I love all the talk of Joel saving Ellie. That’s the beauty of The Last Of Us. Ellie is a strong survivor despite her age.
yes structurally this is exactly the game. this whole portion with meeting david and his crew is what happens right before you get to the ending section of the first game. so they’re following the timeline of events extremely closely episode to episode
This series was filmed in Alberta Canada. For some ungodly reason, they filmed this particular episode, outside, in February... I'm guessing no one consulted the locals about temperatures cause they froze their arses off. 😄 (Outdoor filming in Feb in Alberta. SMH. 😂)
Which was an HBO mandate to introduce Ellie in the 1st episode. And also probably why the flashback w Tess & her family's background during the outbreak got cut out of the show.
This whole season is the first Last of Us game :) obviously not everything in the game is in the show and some stuff was changed a bit. can't wait to see you play the game!
Not sure if were getting a cliffhanger or the ending of the first game next week. Either way this season is the story of the first game (part one) and the next season (or likely two) will be the story of the second game (part two).
24:30 - This season is covering the entire first game (the last episode even adapted the DLC). Now...there is a five year gap between the end of the first game and the majority of the second. So the next few seasons they will have free range to completely open up the story and the world (with the exception of some very important flashbacks) so even people who have played the games won't know what's going to happen. (I don't think they are going to jump straight into the second game. At least I hope not.)
the entire first season is the first game. we are led to assume season 2 will be the second game. since there is no third game that means either they won't have a season 3, or they will start making up original stories.
It's funny that show-Ellie killed game-Joel in this episode lol. Finale next week and we get to see game-Ellie, Ashley Johnson, as(theory only based on previews) show-Ellie's mom which would be awesome. Love you guys' reactions. (Not related to the show, but Tekkno Train music video is out 😂)
So excited for y’all to play the game as well! Personally, I prefer the game over the show. Not to say the show isn’t good though! I’m loving the show overall and this was a fantastic episode. Overall, I’m trending at a 9/10 while the game is a 10/10 to me but idk to me it’s hard to match the intensity of actually being in the drivers seat as the character. It just makes everything more impactful to me since you’re controlling the character
haha we were going to when it launched on pc, then everyone said it was far too buggy. but we're going full time on the channel very soon and its our first big full game we plan to start plaing on live streams soon! (i'm pretty sure the pc version of the game has been patched enough by this point lol)
My personal rankings of the last of us episodes so far: 1) episode 5 2) episode 1 3) episode 2 4) episode 8 5) episode 4 6) episode 6 7) episode 3 8) episode 7

Same, my heart broke for her.
The most interesting part is Bella filmed the AFTERMATH of that scene FIRST and still NAILED the emotion when she felt safe in Joel's arms

Troy Baker was so excited when offered the part of 'James'. When he got the call he thought he would play some random Clicker 😂
This episode shows us what Marlene meant when she said she knew what Joel was 'Capable of.' He was so afraid he lost his edge, but when the chips are down Joel at 10% is better than most people at 100.
I bawled when Joel said "it's okay baby girl" 😭😭😭

the fact that u joked about eating the girl's dad and didn't realize you were spot on LMAO
Watching Yellowjackets is rubbing off on them lol.
15:30 In episode 1 Tess told Joel that Robert is terrified of Joel this is why.
18:32 The delivery of this line makes me laugh so hard. It's like he's a little kid saying "I'm TELLING MOM!!!" XD
The fact that David reaching for his zipper is what allowed Ellie to grab the clever is such an amazing detail. Dude was thinking with the wrong head and it got him killed. I also feel like a lot of reactors miss that fact that David was feeding the little girl he pimp slapped her dead father.
They made sure Ellie slashed long enough for us to go from “get him Ellie” to “ugh it’s hard to watch”.

This was a dark episode but Ellie kicked ass in this one.
Recorded in Alberta Canada - Lots of this episode was in Waterton.
Had no clue joel has the perk enabled where his attacks do double the damage when his health falls below 25% 😂
At first I felt that they were just going with a typical bad religious person doing bad stuff but eventually it was revealed that he was a schoolteacher and that makes it extra creepy.
Are you mad? Finally religious people are being depicted truthfully by media

James (Troy Baker) is the actor who will play the role of Joel in the game and provides his voice for Joel.
Cody wiping his tears quickly made me cry lol 😢
Bridge: you crying? I'm not crying
Cody : no!
😢😢😅😅😅❤
No one mentioned the most game-y thing the show did. Joel does a stealth kill in that basement!
Been sooo looking forward to 'the David' episode, and they TOTALLY delivered. 😁
I believe most of the series was filmed around Calgary, Alberta, Canada with a few scenes/episodes scattered through more rural Alberta, like the Blood-Kainai reservation.
Give it up for Canadian film tax-credits!
This episode reveals the old Joel and the new Ellie.
It foreshadows Joel's story and what Ellie will become.
That thousand-yard stare was perfect.
Fun fact, Bella filmed the part when Ellie and Joel reunited before she killed David. 😳 She is such an amazing actor!
as a father/parent i can tell you now joel is doing exactly what a parent would for any child in danger.
I love that y'all had the same, simultaneous reaction to "babygirl." 😆
This Ellie, the aggressive do anything to survive Ellie to me is her changing once again because of traumatic events that happened
what personally really got me, was the fact that David told us he was a teacher before. A teacher of young girls. He always had a violent heart and his favourit part was always the fight. That piece of sh*t probably assaulted his students before everything went down.
“It’s ok, baby girl…I gotchu” 😭😭😭

Bridget was correct, in that Ellie probably should have read the bottle on the penicillin because it typically provides the instructions for route of administration which I'm pretty sure would have administer intravascularly (i.e. by vein) and not subcutaneously as Ellie decided to do.
Assuming the label on the bottle is still readable.
isnt it amazing how 2 words can open the floodgates immediately XD with almost everyone XD
You guys will also love the game🙏🧡🧡🧡can’t wait see your play through
The entire season has been fire but THIS EPISODE!!! I've been waiting all season (as a person that played the games). CHEFS KISS!
I really enjoy watching people react that have played the game. And I love all the talk of Joel saving Ellie. That’s the beauty of The Last Of Us. Ellie is a strong survivor despite her age.
TROY BAKER!!!! YES MY BOIIIII!!! That's who plays joel In the game 😜
played james for reference
I was so glad when Ellie got her Scream 5 moment, so deserved
Glad Ellie helped Joel when he is all hurt then he when to go save Ellie
I’m also allergic to penicillin we’d be screwed in the apocalypse
Joel: It’s okay babygirl
Me: 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
"Venison" is code for "human" in David's little cult...

It WAS 10 episodes, but they merged episodes 1 and 2 into a single first episode.
Which was an HBO mandate to introduce Ellie in the 1st episode. And also probably why the flashback w Tess & her family's background during the outbreak got cut out of the show.
I'm hoping the last episode will be as long as the first or even longer.
16:16 is my favourite line in the whole show ❤
we all would eat if this would happened...especially bridgeco :D
Best episode of the series and that is saying a lot. Great reactions.
“it’s okay…i believe him” was easily joel’s best moment in the video game and im so fucking glad they made it brutal in this show
I think there was originally 10 episodes but they combined the first 2.
This episode was so fucking good.
Despite the rollercoaster ride the other episodes were, this is the only one so far that made me tear up.
This whole season is the first Last of Us game :) obviously not everything in the game is in the show and some stuff was changed a bit. can't wait to see you play the game!
"Close your eyes when you're dying!" 😂😂😂
Tommy isn't a asshole. He is a nice uncle goddamnit!
And in the 10 mins during the scene of David and Ellie, Joel killed literally everyone else.
Not sure if were getting a cliffhanger or the ending of the first game next week. Either way this season is the story of the first game (part one) and the next season (or likely two) will be the story of the second game (part two).
season 1 is "part 1". next season will be the 2nd game (tlou part 2)

Nah, the second game is about 30 hours. It will take 2 or 3 seasons to tell that story.

i literally started cackling while joel was torturing those guys
you had me at "The Menu" ; ).
