Kinda funny and scary at the same time. Since they cant shoot spores in the show they're just on demon time. Bloater smacked tf out of the first dude lol
One thing I love about this show is it’s not embarrassed by its videogame roots like so many other adaptations. The scene where Joel is covering everybody with the sniper rifle is a straight up gaming trope, even outside of The Last of Us.
Yet the show has also been criticized for featuring things that depart from its video game roots, such as dedicating almost an entire episode to events that the protagonists never saw.
yess!! i hope they include the little detail from the game where joel waits for ellie to boost her up and get the ladder but she forgets to come. its something that can really only make sense when youre playing the game but its such a funny scene to me that i hope they reference it lol
One thing I love about that -- yes, it is straight up from the game, but it's also very rooted in character. Joel was razor focused on Ellie the entire time. When Ellie was safe for a bit in the car, he wasn't even shooting, everywhere else. He was saving his bullets to continue protecting her when needed.
She said children die all the time, it was true because Sam ended up dying anyways. She actually got them both killed which is what she was trying to do in the first place
Wtf was even that dialogou😂 i love this show but Kathleens entire charachter was cringe. Her background and her motives were good but the charachters itself nah. Maybe it's the actor idk
@@kc_h7h - The actress and the dialogue was perfect for Kathleen. She was so blinded with rage due to her brother's death that she's become irrational, possibly on the verge of insanity. That whole "children die all the time" monologue was so batshit insane that she doesn't even realize how crazy she sounds.
@@70briareos nah everytime she spoke her delivery just wasn't it. I'm with Rob on this one, she just never felt like a threatening villain. And the character itself was trash aswell. She leads a whole community but her top priority is revenge. I know it's her brother but there was problems that she had to deal with asap but nah, she was like no my rage is more important. And the "kids always die, do you really think the world is about him" that dialogou was just cringe
You can instantly tell who was raised their entire life in a safe QZ zone and who's been out in the wild and had to fight to survive. Joel knows what's up. Meanwhile you have the two QZ kids talking loud at night, not being concerned,etc. That's simply their inexperience dealing with the infected.
One thing that sorta bothers me with the reactions I've seen to this episode are the people that get annoyed with Henry when he shoots at Joel and turns the gun on him. With everything happening so fast, his first instinct is to protect his brother so ofc he shoots at Joel. Then after he shoots Sam, he's in shock. I understand the attachment people have towards Joel already but I thought Henry's actions were pretty understandable.
I think they understood that after the fact, but when you first watch it it looks like hes fine with sacrificing Ellie to protect his brother even if he is infected, although the best thing to do for Sam in that situation is kill him, the hosts are still alive, just not in control of their body.
@@erika5012 idk I never saw it that way. When I first watched it, I just saw it as Henry acting on instinct to protect his brother. And in that one moment, Joel was a threat. I never thought Henry would let Ellie get sacrificed though.
@@cherryfreckle I guess it just depends on how you see it. In the heat of the moment just like how Henry was dealing with everything so fast, the reactors are also seeing this for the first time so they don't have much time either to understand what's going on. I'm sure they realized after the fact why Henry shot at Joel, but I think it's also difficult for reactors because they have knowledge of what's going on that Henry doesn't.
Sometimes y'all have to resist the temptation to have long conversations/debates during mid-dialogue because you lose a lot of context the moment you tune out even for a little bit in a show like this.

Jerry has the dumbest takes ever, the soldiers are literally shooting anything that moves because it's pure chaos at that point but he wants her to just blindly run around in the middle of it all. 🤡
I'm surprised a lot of people seemed to expect Henry to be of clear mind once he saw that Sam was infected. Henry was literally just sleeping peacefully one second, then his entire world shatters the next. I bet it took a while to sink in for him, so of course his gut instinct would still be to protect his younger brother one last time. Unlike the game, I don't think Henry blamed Joel. I think him pointing the gun at Joel was a defense mechanism, because it was pretty clear he was decided on what he was going to do next after shooting Sam and didn't want Joel interfering. That and Henry was clearly in shock.

They were literally complaining about her falling on the ground like an explosion didn't just go off 30 feet from her, it packed enough force to send her to the ground, like she's clearly impaired.
Second guy in from the left was right, the doctor who was killed by Kathleen last episode is the guy who was helping them in this one. That's why he never came back for them - they'd killed him.
Unpopular opinion: I found Kathleen lowkey unsettling. Her monotone and casual delivery about a lot of messed up shit made me uncomfortable. She is one of those characters that isn't cunning, super smart, or even charasmatic. She's just a person with a whole lot of power and a red button that she presses whenever she feels and doesn't care who's in the crossfire. Her saying "Kids die ALL the time" and not even considering letting literal children live with no remorse was chilling to me.
I like her too but I actually think she is smart. She did what her brother couldn’t, she earned the loyalty. We see her at her most illogical, but clearly she was capable
@@TheSuperNats she aint smart,she only cared about her revenge which caused her death and also her members plus now that her crew is dead,their city is basically left for dead
You guys are yelling at Ellie for not getting up like bro… she straight up just huffed it full speed down the block then got blown back by an explosion from not too far away. Like have some patience for yuh girl😂
They had a taste of freedom for only 11 days after their uprising, before the city was completely overrun with infected. All because of what Kathleen was willing to sacrifice for love. Also, the doctor in the beginning of last episode was, in fact, Edelstein. Lol Also, the phases of Infected are Runner, Stalkers, Clickers and Bloaters. You have to assume that they’re going to have tons of Clickers because those idiots ran them underground 15 years prior, so they had time to mutate even further. Hence the 20 year old infected, aka the Bloater.
Edelstein was the doctor that Kathleen killed. It was a flashback when they showed him helping Henry and Sam. That’s why he never came back because Kathleen killed him
One aspect, I hope they touch on from the game. Is the people who are infected, are technically still there. In the game, you will walk by some(infected) standing alone crying. They’ll be weeping - but once you get close enough the fungus takes over. I really do hope they touch on that - cause look when the kid asks When you’re a monster Are you still you inside? - maaan that will be fire if they touch on that. - like inside these people know what they are doing but have literal no control
@@Oakland510 well ya but jus look up last of us infected crying, after the stalker stage fungus has truly taken over all brain functions, Can they be there? Maybe. but w the way the fungus grows in the “clickers” I doubt they will be there in that state cause it affects all of the brain. It’s coming out the head at that point lol
@RT TV, 22:47 The hospital in the Boston QZ had a poster telling us the timetable for full Cordyceps infection: -bites to the neck, head and face: 5 to 15 minutes -bites to the torso, shoulder, arm and hand: 2 to 8 hours -bites to the leg and foot: 12 to 24 hours the poster next to that one told us the symptoms of Cordyceps infection: -coughing -slurred speech -muscle spasms -mood change Time wise, they had time to help Sam! Even though Sam couldn't speak, it was clear that he wasn't showing any of the symptoms at this time with Ellie. In the first episode, in the Boston QZ we saw at least three amputees, so we know amputations work. Had Sam and Ellie said something to Joel and Henry, they could have prevented Sam's turn. I'm not saying that he wouldn't have died, as Sam very likely would have died from amputation given the dirty motel room they were hold up in and the fact that they lacked the tools and medication to make this a smooth and seemingly painless process. As far as we know, they only had the Buck knife Joel has and the pocket knife Ellie has--they would have needed to cut above Sam's infection and take the whole thing off, bone and all. Sam very likely would have bled out or died from infection, but he wouldn't have turned. At the very least, Henry would have had time to prepare himself for what was coming and a chance to say goodbye. Henry likely would have had the same ending, as his entire world was his little brother, Sam. Henry did everything he did for Sam, and with Sam gone, he gave it all up for nothing. Damn! ='( Sam's death was worse in HBO's telling of the story in comparison to the game since in the game Sam kept his bite to himself. In this version of the story, EILLIE KNEW! The two children in the room made a choice adults should have made! This change, however, and the one made to Sam, makes this whole chapter so much more impactful. The child we saw in Ellie died with Sam, I imagine. The Ellie we're going to see moving forward is going to be all business. She's going to be driven now; she needs to get to the Firefly clinic so that they can use her blood to make a vaccine/cure. Ellie has lost three too many friends (Riley, Tess and Sam) to the Cordyceps and she doesn't want to lose anymore. 23:51 The first and only person that Henry actually killed was the one person he swore to protect...his own little brother ='( 25:13 Tess made it two episodes...well, three if you count the Bill and Frank flashback =P What is the "us" in the title of the story? I don't think it's just one thing, but I think a huge part of the "us" is humanity. Humanity ended on 8/26/2003 for much of the world. Governments collapsed and people became monsters literally and figuratively. All the rules that governed society, keeping us peaceful amongst each other went out the window when food, medicines and shelter quickly became scarce. We've only seen one person actually keep his humanity in all of this--he never lost it, even though the world ended 20 years ago, and that was Bill. Bill thrived for 20 years in all this, but he wasn't really living until he met Frank, who actually taught him how to actually live, which was something Bill never did even when the world was normal. Everyone in this story is living by this episode's title, Endure and Survive--no one's living because they can't; they're too afraid to enjoy the time they have. Bill's fortress was so protected that he and Frank didn't have to worry about much of anything. They always had fun, water, gas, electricity, shelter, comfort and time. They never had to wonder where their next meal was coming from or where they'd sleep the next day, they always knew. They kept their humanity until the end, and before they left this world, Bill left Joel with some partying advice, that appears to be helping Joel find his way back to the person he was before he lost Sarah. Bill's words are pushing Joel back towards humanity, back to us.
Is it ever explained in the games why Bloaters are this violent to potential hosts? Since most people die within months of infection, my theory is that Bloaters have outlived their intended purpose; so overgrown and mutated that they're disconnected from the collective and just go berserk out of pain and confusion.
I think some bloaters in the games use a substance to infect others but as for the show it looks like bloaters try to make humans vulnerable first by using force against them so other infected can infect them. I feel like bloaters will lose their value if they’re just trying to individually infect people so it makes more sense on why this is the case
@@braydanflanagan600 But the kill animation for Bloaters in the game is the head ripping part in the show, so yeah they throw spores to infect but they completely destroy you if they catch you like in the show.
edelstain is the doctor who clapped in previous episode, that scenes was about how they survived 10 days. it's all about flashback of how he get caught cause someone snitch him
There is kinda "hierarchy" of the infected in a sense. Clickers: infected a year to 10 years Bloaters: 10 years and beyond It's more like how long you'll survive it. In the podcast they said only the strongest people body wise will live to be a bloater, most Clickers find a wall and that's how they become those pretty lil wall decorations 🤣
Like dude said at the end no one is safe in that world. Joel's daughter, Tess, Ellies friend, Bill and Frank, Henry and Sam, Kathleen. Joel and Ellie might still be alive but they've been through some shit and about to go through more
If Henry looks familair it is because he played in the 2018 movie "The Hate U Give" as Seven Carter the brother of the main character Starr Carter played by Amandla Stenberg
with out spoiling too much, this episode was great forshadow for a decision Joel will have to do in the future, with lines like: "you think the whole world revolves around him? that he´s worth everything?"
Man the bloater did not disappoint whatsoever in this episode. Also at 19:15 it ripped Half his head off like right where the jaw meets the body is what’s left of Perry’s head right there also it being an obvious reference to the bloater death Joel gets in the game. Edit: also if last of us 3 ever comes out I want Kid Zombies in that game cause that would be nuts.
This man did not just say Superbowl is the greatest sporting event in the world which is only played in America lol the World Cup takes that title fam 😂
18:40 In case y’all are wondering, that big guy is called a bloater. According to what we hear in the game, they’ve been infected for a very long time, about a decade at most.
Only point of disagreement: I think Kathleen wasn't a terrible character. I think she was a well-conceived character that did terrible things. The writing, the acting, even the specific ways in which she was being irrational, I thought these things were all on point. Even the fact that the people followed her rang true after we found out that her brother basically became a martyred figurehead.
Thing y’all have to remember is Ellie always wants to save others. It’s a continuous trait of hers so went shit went down she wasn’t worried about herself, she was worried about getting Sam and Henry up out of there. Otherwise she would’ve just dipped lmao
Yes that was the doctor they were with at the start of the episode. The same one that got killed last episode. I don’t know why you asked the guys…they don’t remember crap right most of the time.
The bloater is much more terrifying in the show than the game to me. That thing was just soaking up them bullets like nothing. Even on the hardest difficulty in the game they aren't all that bad.
you know what's most fucked up is that Sam is probably still in there but the infection has full control over the reigns as it were It's kind of a reference to the games in the freshest infected sound like they're crying like they're being forced to eat and infect those they loved but can't do anything about it, past a certain point your brain is devolved enough so that you're eventually not there anymore
Evan, Superbowl is not the biggest sporting event in the world. Don't ever make that mistake again. Rihanna half time show had more views than the Superbowl match.
Ain’t no way Evan said the superbowl is the greatest sports event in the world💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀The biggest and greatest sporting event in the world is quite easily the fifa World Cup, nothing even comes remotely close. Superbowl is only for Americans, World Cup is for the entire GLOBE…
Too much talking not enough listening. They couldn't even get Sam and Henrys names right. Didn't realize it was the same Dr from episode 4 who got killed by Kathleen. All I heard was "imagine if this, Imagine if that". While I'm sitting here thinking "imagine if you would just shut up?!"
Imagine your younger sibling being your first OFFICIAL kill!!💔Ps: who else noticed after Kathleen was talking trash about kids she ended up getting killed by one!🤣
If you cut a leg off without proper medical care he'd bleed out and die way faster than turning lol can't just amputate without proper, immediate surgery. Plus, the infection could have spread through the rest of his body by then. If Ellie would have told Joel and Henry. One of them still would have had to shoot him. But they may have waited it out to see if Ellie's blood helped as well. This could have prevented Henry from killing himself from the shock factor, allowing him time to come to gripse with it. That's the only benefit I can see of, if Ellie would have told someone.
The doctor is the guy Kathleen killed in the last episode. The guy Sam and Henry were waiting on. Yall always talking on long ass dialogues during the episodes so yall always miss everything 😂
It’s sad to think about how fedra agents are mostly comprised of orphans who were children or teens when the outbreak happened, who were taught their military style by soldiers that had a 2003 mindset.
Sam was deaf. He didn't attack ellie until she tapped him on the shoulder because he couldn't hear her.

They had a taste of freedom for only 11 days after their uprising, before the city was completely overrun with infected. All because of what Kathleen was willing to sacrifice for love.
Also, the doctor in the beginning of last episode was, in fact, Edelstein. Lol
Also, the phases of Infected are Runner, Stalkers, Clickers and Bloaters. You have to assume that they’re going to have tons of Clickers because those idiots ran them underground 15 years prior, so they had time to mutate even further. Hence the 20 year old infected, aka the Bloater.
Well Ellie didn't know shit, she's also just a kid hoping her blood would cure Sam, so she couldn't tell Henry.
Edelstein was the doctor that Kathleen killed. It was a flashback when they showed him helping Henry and Sam. That’s why he never came back because Kathleen killed him
One aspect, I hope they touch on from the game. Is the people who are infected, are technically still there. In the game, you will walk by some(infected) standing alone crying. They’ll be weeping
- but once you get close enough the fungus takes over.
I really do hope they touch on that
- cause look when the kid asks
When you’re a monster
Are you still you inside?
- maaan that will be fire if they touch on that.
- like inside these people know what they are doing but have literal no control
@@Oakland510 well ya but jus look up last of us infected crying,
after the stalker stage fungus has truly taken over all brain functions, Can they be there? Maybe. but w the way the fungus grows in the “clickers” I doubt they will be there in that state cause it affects all of the brain. It’s coming out the head at that point lol
@@Oakland510 the fucked up part in the game in the first 2 stages, while they infect other victims they are crying 😂not all but you will def see it
I haven’t felt this shocked/upset at the ending of an episode since The Red Wedding
@RT TV,
22:47 The hospital in the Boston QZ had a poster telling us the timetable for full Cordyceps infection:
-bites to the neck, head and face: 5 to 15 minutes
-bites to the torso, shoulder, arm and hand: 2 to 8 hours
-bites to the leg and foot: 12 to 24 hours
the poster next to that one told us the symptoms of Cordyceps infection:
-coughing
-slurred speech
-muscle spasms
-mood change
Time wise, they had time to help Sam! Even though Sam couldn't speak, it was clear that he wasn't showing any of the symptoms at this time with Ellie.
In the first episode, in the Boston QZ we saw at least three amputees, so we know amputations work. Had Sam and Ellie said something to Joel and Henry, they could have prevented Sam's turn. I'm not saying that he wouldn't have died, as Sam very likely would have died from amputation given the dirty motel room they were hold up in and the fact that they lacked the tools and medication to make this a smooth and seemingly painless process. As far as we know, they only had the Buck knife Joel has and the pocket knife Ellie has--they would have needed to cut above Sam's infection and take the whole thing off, bone and all. Sam very likely would have bled out or died from infection, but he wouldn't have turned. At the very least, Henry would have had time to prepare himself for what was coming and a chance to say goodbye. Henry likely would have had the same ending, as his entire world was his little brother, Sam. Henry did everything he did for Sam, and with Sam gone, he gave it all up for nothing. Damn! ='(
Sam's death was worse in HBO's telling of the story in comparison to the game since in the game Sam kept his bite to himself. In this version of the story, EILLIE KNEW! The two children in the room made a choice adults should have made! This change, however, and the one made to Sam, makes this whole chapter so much more impactful. The child we saw in Ellie died with Sam, I imagine. The Ellie we're going to see moving forward is going to be all business. She's going to be driven now; she needs to get to the Firefly clinic so that they can use her blood to make a vaccine/cure. Ellie has lost three too many friends (Riley, Tess and Sam) to the Cordyceps and she doesn't want to lose anymore.
23:51 The first and only person that Henry actually killed was the one person he swore to protect...his own little brother ='(
25:13 Tess made it two episodes...well, three if you count the Bill and Frank flashback =P
What is the "us" in the title of the story? I don't think it's just one thing, but I think a huge part of the "us" is humanity. Humanity ended on 8/26/2003 for much of the world. Governments collapsed and people became monsters literally and figuratively. All the rules that governed society, keeping us peaceful amongst each other went out the window when food, medicines and shelter quickly became scarce.
We've only seen one person actually keep his humanity in all of this--he never lost it, even though the world ended 20 years ago, and that was Bill. Bill thrived for 20 years in all this, but he wasn't really living until he met Frank, who actually taught him how to actually live, which was something Bill never did even when the world was normal. Everyone in this story is living by this episode's title, Endure and Survive--no one's living because they can't; they're too afraid to enjoy the time they have. Bill's fortress was so protected that he and Frank didn't have to worry about much of anything. They always had fun, water, gas, electricity, shelter, comfort and time. They never had to wonder where their next meal was coming from or where they'd sleep the next day, they always knew. They kept their humanity until the end, and before they left this world, Bill left Joel with some partying advice, that appears to be helping Joel find his way back to the person he was before he lost Sarah. Bill's words are pushing Joel back towards humanity, back to us.
Is it ever explained in the games why Bloaters are this violent to potential hosts? Since most people die within months of infection, my theory is that Bloaters have outlived their intended purpose; so overgrown and mutated that they're disconnected from the collective and just go berserk out of pain and confusion.
I think some bloaters in the games use a substance to infect others but as for the show it looks like bloaters try to make humans vulnerable first by using force against them so other infected can infect them. I feel like bloaters will lose their value if they’re just trying to individually infect people so it makes more sense on why this is the case
@@braydanflanagan600 But the kill animation for Bloaters in the game is the head ripping part in the show, so yeah they throw spores to infect but they completely destroy you if they catch you like in the show.
Edlestein was the doctor that she killed yes, and he was the one that showed Henry and Sam that spot
Evan saying the super bowl is the biggest sporting event in the world like the WORLD cup doesn't exist
Amazing episode in my opinion. Ellie's gasp at the end and that fade out music was perfect 🔥 shit hit hard.
edelstain is the doctor who clapped in previous episode, that scenes was about how they survived 10 days. it's all about flashback of how he get caught cause someone snitch him
Evan, if you were Henry, you would've pointed the gun at Joel too, I mean Sam was his 8 year old brother, you don't expect him to let Joel kill Sam?
Dude in the brown pants had the only natural response. Everyone else was trying to riff and talk.
There is kinda "hierarchy" of the infected in a sense.
Clickers: infected a year to 10 years
Bloaters: 10 years and beyond
It's more like how long you'll survive it. In the podcast they said only the strongest people body wise will live to be a bloater, most Clickers find a wall and that's how they become those pretty lil wall decorations 🤣
Like dude said at the end no one is safe in that world. Joel's daughter, Tess, Ellies friend, Bill and Frank, Henry and Sam, Kathleen. Joel and Ellie might still be alive but they've been through some shit and about to go through more
8:07 more like he’s found the mandalorian. He probably thought he can have him pull out the dark saber to slice through the infected
The guy Kathleen whacked was the doctor, Jerry was right
If Henry looks familair it is because he played in the 2018 movie "The Hate U Give" as Seven Carter the brother of the main character Starr Carter played by Amandla Stenberg
4:50 I'm glad me and Rob agree on Kathleen, cracked me up when he said that
The amount I cried at the end of this ep was a whole ocein bro 😭
with out spoiling too much, this episode was great forshadow for a decision Joel will have to do in the future, with lines like: "you think the whole world revolves around him? that he´s worth everything?"
Yes, the Dr that was killed by Kathleen was the same dude that was with Sam and Henry and didn't come back.....cause he was dead
Man the bloater did not disappoint whatsoever in this episode. Also at 19:15 it ripped Half his head off like right where the jaw meets the body is what’s left of Perry’s head right there also it being an obvious reference to the bloater death Joel gets in the game.
Edit: also if last of us 3 ever comes out I want Kid Zombies in that game cause that would be nuts.
This man did not just say Superbowl is the greatest sporting event in the world which is only played in America lol the World Cup takes that title fam 😂
18:40 In case y’all are wondering, that big guy is called a bloater. According to what we hear in the game, they’ve been infected for a very long time, about a decade at most.
Only Jerry remembers who Edelstein is
Only point of disagreement: I think Kathleen wasn't a terrible character. I think she was a well-conceived character that did terrible things. The writing, the acting, even the specific ways in which she was being irrational, I thought these things were all on point. Even the fact that the people followed her rang true after we found out that her brother basically became a martyred figurehead.
Yes. Edelstein was the doctor that was killed by Kathleen in the last episode.
Y do ppl yell at shows like “get up” or “run” .. who here ever ran from mushroom zombies and explosions ? Lol
21:08 My dude sneezed his hat off😂
The bloater kills that soilder the same way it kills Joel in a death animation by ripping off at the jaw
“I hope he’s playing”😭💀😂
Never thought I said this but, I loved Rob’s reaction and commentary this episode.
I be hating on Rob because he be having hot takes lmao but he be spitting …. SOMETIMES 😂
22:52 Patrick you wild for that 😂
19:14 In the game, you have to watch that up close when it rips off your head.
Ayyyye the video I been waiting for. This show be 🔥🔥
This reaction was lit! The Normies also had a crazy reaction!
Dude with the Khaki pants really went down
Thing y’all have to remember is Ellie always wants to save others. It’s a continuous trait of hers so went shit went down she wasn’t worried about herself, she was worried about getting Sam and Henry up out of there. Otherwise she would’ve just dipped lmao
The Bloater was AWESOME! A child clicker? Whoa... And obviously that ending, for those that played the game, we knew what was coming but still hurts
Yes that was the doctor they were with at the start of the episode. The same one that got killed last episode. I don’t know why you asked the guys…they don’t remember crap right most of the time.
Y'all yes he was the doctor that was killed in the second episode.
These guys miss the most obvious shit, all. the. time.
Pat, the Henry actor played Kofi Jones is Your Honor
You were right, the old man in the attic was same doctor killed by Kathleen in episode 4
The bloater is much more terrifying in the show than the game to me. That thing was just soaking up them bullets like nothing. Even on the hardest difficulty in the game they aren't all that bad.
Henry’s actor was in “The Hate You Give”
"This not anime bro!" lol
Yes the doctor that got capped in episode 4 was the guy who helped them. Rip.
12:50 YES,, IT WAS THE DR THAT GOT KILLED
you know what's most fucked up is that Sam is probably still in there but the infection has full control over the reigns as it were
It's kind of a reference to the games in the freshest infected sound like they're crying like they're being forced to eat and infect those they loved but can't do anything about it, past a certain point your brain is devolved enough so that you're eventually not there anymore
Evan, Superbowl is not the biggest sporting event in the world. Don't ever make that mistake again. Rihanna half time show had more views than the Superbowl match.
I was just about to say didn’t we just have the World Cup😭 Superbowl is more for Americans.
Biggest sporting event in the world? The World Cup was last year, my man
Actually the doctor was the one with Sam and Henry
Ain’t no way Evan said the superbowl is the greatest sports event in the world💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀The biggest and greatest sporting event in the world is quite easily the fifa World Cup, nothing even comes remotely close. Superbowl is only for Americans, World Cup is for the entire GLOBE…
Too much talking not enough listening. They couldn't even get Sam and Henrys names right. Didn't realize it was the same Dr from episode 4 who got killed by Kathleen. All I heard was "imagine if this, Imagine if that". While I'm sitting here thinking "imagine if you would just shut up?!"
Edelstein was definitely the doctor that Kathleen killed in episode four. That’s why he never came back, Episode 5 played with time a lil
Imagine your younger sibling being your first OFFICIAL kill!!💔Ps: who else noticed after Kathleen was talking trash about kids she ended up getting killed by one!🤣
I'm old as fuck, I had an Etch-a-Sketch as a kid!!!😁😁😁
eldestien is the doctor that was killeed by kathleen
If you cut a leg off without proper medical care he'd bleed out and die way faster than turning lol can't just amputate without proper, immediate surgery. Plus, the infection could have spread through the rest of his body by then. If Ellie would have told Joel and Henry. One of them still would have had to shoot him. But they may have waited it out to see if Ellie's blood helped as well. This could have prevented Henry from killing himself from the shock factor, allowing him time to come to gripse with it. That's the only benefit I can see of, if Ellie would have told someone.
The doctor is the guy Kathleen killed in the last episode. The guy Sam and Henry were waiting on. Yall always talking on long ass dialogues during the episodes so yall always miss everything 😂
Wilkins was quiet that whole last stretch of the episode
20:40 well those freedom fighters are fuck now, most of there defenses are wasted and now the horde moves on the city to finish the job.
Dude in the middle off a bean assum he be talking all day damn
To be fair its not just getting rid of black people rob they have killed every damn character besides the 2 main
Rob is stupid, don't try to reason with him
Rob loves to say stupid shit like that.
Loved your reaction❤😊
17:44 Horde reaction
One thing i learned from the Last of Us universe: Never expect a secondary character to last one or two episodes LMAO
Another Great Video 🔥💯
Ain’t finna lie bro, y’all talking too much and be missing important dialogue. Also Ellie is like 12 years old ofc she’s going to freeze
12:51 it was the doctor 😅
I recommend one of you guys play the first game.
btw Soccer(Football) is the biggest event in the world ;)
What's more f*cked up is that Henrys first kill was his own little brother.
It’s sad to think about how fedra agents are mostly comprised of orphans who were children or teens when the outbreak happened, who were taught their military style by soldiers that had a 2003 mindset.
Ellie gon be a dawg in season 2 the way things going
