Based on the 2013 video game developed by Naughty Dog, the series follows Joel (Pedro Pascal), a smuggler tasked with escorting the teenage Ellie (Bella Ramsey) across a post-apocalyptic United States.

    It was Bill was taking care of the flowers that killed me. Their first big blowout fight was over Bill not caring what the place looked like, and he still probably didn't. But it was important to Frank. That's love.
    I also appreciate Ellie's fascination with the infected, because she's supposed to be infected right now, she's supposed to be one of them, so it makes sense that she has this morbid curiosity.

    The grumpy old man dying stuck in his ways is so overdone, this was really a breath of fresh air.

Even that early in their relationship it was no longer just him in his mind. Probably for the first time in even longer than the apocalypse, probably nearly his whole life.

      I've seen shows that go over five seasons and don't give their queer characters half as much time together as these two fellas got in one episode. The only comparable relationship I've seen was Paige and Emily in Pretty Little Liars who -across SEVEN seasons got exactly one sex scene. And it was only in a dream. And it wasn't even one of their dreams, it was Emily's best friend's drug and sleep deprivation induced vision. They were fleshed out more than any other queer relationship I've seen on a mainstream series. Especially a teen mainstream series.

    They said Frank's illness was incurable before the pandemic, so I took it as something like ALS, Huntington's, Parkinson's, etc.
    The last shot of the open window really hit me. It was like Bill and Frank's spirit was watching them drive away, from their POV. And Pedro's reaction, as he looked at her as she read the letter, was just perfect. Waterfalls of tears. Also liked the parallel of how Bill and Frank fell in love to Linda Ronstadt, and then Ellie and Joel are driving away listening to it as well, their relationship softening bit by bit.
    Nick Offerman was brilliant casting, couldn't imagine anyone better. And he killed it.

    About the flour; when we're first introduced to Joel's next-door neighbours, it appears that the man is feeding the woman underbaked biscuits.

  • @Saphthings
    @Saphthings Рік тому +19

    Bill taught Frank how to survive, and Frank taught Bill how to live. In the game Frank ends up leaving to see the world because he's too extroverted, gets infected, and hangs himself before turning. So Bill is a lot more bitter about the one person he trusted leaving him.
    Either way Bill serves to show Joel the difference between surviving, and living. Bill is a survival expert, but what does he know about living until he opens up? In the game he shows Joel how bad he can become if he doesn't trust people or open up, in the show he shows Joel how good it can become and what he could've had with Tess. So either way Joel starts to open up.
    That's the major theme in the Last of Us. Surviving vs Living.

    • @jholmes553
      @jholmes553 10 місяців тому

      That's why the strawberry scene is so brilliant. The strawberry Bill was enjoying at that moment is the physical manifestation of the reward he got because he opened up to the right person. When someone puts up walls to defend themself from pain, they're also protecting themself from happiness. Only when they open up will they ever have the chance of being happy. Only then have they lived. And that is what Frank showed Bill. At this point, Joel can see it but is still apprehensive to the idea. But being exposed to such a positive outcome told him he could open up and things might work out.

    Ellie is dealing with trauma. She was attacked by the infected and she also lost at least 2 friends. So she has survivor's guilt and residual anger. She took out some of those emotions on the guy in the basement.
    As far as cooking killing the cordyceps fungus, in France in 1951 there was an outbreak of ergot poisoning in rye. More than 250 people were involved, including 50 people interned in asylums and 7 deaths. Ergot is a grain fungus that causes hallucinations in humans.

  • @ToMPaSHKoV
    @ToMPaSHKoV Рік тому +5

    The beauty of this episode is that it subverts our expectations. We've been conditioned through modern storytelling to fear everything, especially the benign, the innocuous. Dolls, children, children with dolls, dolls that look like children, all manner of seemingly harmless and familiar things, all trying to kill you. We expect that any kindness will be answered with violence, that any trust met with betrayal. We as an audience have been primed to fear the most faithful of friends, the most reliable family members - especially in this particular genre of horror - and when we encounter a story about caring and commitment amongst the ruins of a dying world, we don't know how to process it and it hits hard. "I was not expecting this" seems to be the most common refrain, with good reason. This is ostensibly a series about a 'zombie apocalypse' where anyone and everyone can go from being a kindred soul to a mortal threat in an instant and no one is to be trusted, especially other humans. Yet this particular tale is about trust, and love, both matrimonial and romantic. It's about allowing oneself to be vulnerable and in that vulnerability, finding those moments of existence that are both ephemeral and priceless. We expect a calamity, a personal buskin beyond the destruction of our civilization. We anticipate a type of misfortune that doesn't occur. During the worst catastrophe in the history of human kind, we bear witness the best thing to ever happen to these two humans, and it's profound; jarring. We await a devastation that never comes to pass; that expectation of tragedy is subverted by a story of love. We expect blood and destruction; what we get is a masterpiece about small, beautiful lives lived less ordinary.
    This is one of the best stories ever told on film, in my opinion, and it's based on a video game; we've come a long way from Pong.

    Yeast itself is a form of fungus, and together with the flour will continue the high-temp "baking process" even after taking out of the oven. That's why it's reccommended to wait for bread to cool before eating. Since the codryceps mutated, it may also be much more resistant to high temps? 🤔

    Funny enough, while you'd think you'd kill the fungus by baking it actually grows when you bake flour products like cookies or bread. It's why you can find mold is freshly baked goods sometimes.

    I think the game version of Bill was perfect for the game. I'll deflinitely miss not seeing Bill and Ellie trade barbs in the show, or the _"Now get the hell outta my town"_ line, or the hilarious nudie mag scene. But I'm happy the tv version of Bill found someone who truly loved him and was able to live a full and happy life.

    I loved this episode. The relationship between Bill and Frank was wonderfully done and very acted. I cried at the end. 😢 Huge kudos to the two male actors. Also, huzzah to Ellie for finding the Tampax. - Last episode, when Elllie needs to go pee, I thought "that's the least of your worries love" and here they are addressing that in this episode; albeit obliquely 😃

    The front door closed because Frank left the window open in the bedroom. When Joel tried to open the bedroom door the pressure of air escaping the room through the window caused a vacuum in the house thus pulling the living room door shut.

    in my opinion that was a phenomenal episode. maybe my favorite episode so far. ( or maybe the first part of the first episode with Sarah alive was my favorite so far.)
    talking about episode 3 in comparison with the game most of the differences i liked.
    i loved how they developed the relationship between Bill and Frank. and i also liked to see the lunch between Bill, Frank, Tess and Joel. Bill and Frank actors were super well chose on my opinion.
    great video, Suzy and steejo. i think that was pretty nice to hear your thoughts and to see your reactions to this third episode of The Last of us Series.

    Frank likely had Cancer. This is deduced from him needing an MRI, as well as saying the line "It didn't have a cure even before the pandemic." This makes this episode hit even harder, and hit close to to home for so many people.

    For those curious fans about the full letter of Bill including the last part, here it goes:
    August 29, 2023
    If you find this, please do not come into the bedroom. We left a window open so that the house wouldn't smell, but it will be probably a sight. I'm guessing you found this, Joel, because anyone else would have been electrocuted or blown up by one of my traps hehhehheh. Take anything you need. The bunker code is the same as the gate code but in reverse, do not make a mistake or you will also get blown to shit. I am not joking. Don't fuck that up hehhehheh.
    Anyway, I never liked you, but still, its like we're friends. Almost. And I respect you. So i'm gonna tell you something because you're probably the only person who'll understand. I used to hate the world, and I was happy when everyone died.
    But I was wrong because was one person worth saving. And that's what I did, I saved him, and then I protected him. That's why men like you and me are here. We have a job to do, and God help any motherfuckers who stand in our way. I leave you all of my weapons and equipment. Use them to keep Tess safe, until such time as you and she decide you've had enough. At that point, I recommend pairing 40 Vicodins with a nice Brunello.
    Bill

    You still have to handle the four before baking whatever it is you're making. I think just by handling the flour and coming into contact with the quadriceps was probably enough. I'm sure that we inhale microscopic particles of flour whenever we make something with it. Also, the front door closed when Joel tried to open the bedroom door. Leaving the front door open created like a vacuum in the hallway so when Joel tried opening the bedroom door it pulled the front door shut. That's why he initially couldn't open the bedroom door. If he tried to open it after the front door closed, it would have opened right up.
