- Joins us as we react to episode 8 of The Last of Us titled When We Are In Need. This episode knocked it out of the park. Great performances from Pedro Pascal's Joel and Bella Ramsey's Ellie. Scott Shepherd's David was absolutely chilling. There was something so eerie he was able to harness that had us disturbed for most of the episode. Also! A nice appearance from the legend himself Troy Baker the voice actor that voiced Joel in the videogames. This entire episode was an amazing adaptation of the videogame and it looks like we are on track to stick the landing!

When Joel said "It's ok baby girl, I got you", I lost my composure. This show is soo damn good.
Omg that line, when he finally says that to her and then just hugs her 😭😭😭😭😭
Bella is so crazy good in this episode, down to minute details. Ellie doing a deeper voice when she's holding a gun to James and David, trying to be more intimidating and taken seriously, but dropping the pretense at "medicine?" because that's so important to her she can't keep the act. Brilliant!
Bella only keeps solidifying herself as Ellie with each episode. Her performance throughout the entire show has been nothing short from outstanding. And the final minutes of this episode puts her talents in full display. What an actress! We are so lucky to have her as our Ellie ❤️
Bella said that her voice changed unintentionally as it was -17 where they were filming in Canada
Aside from "baby girl", the best lines are when Joel screams "WHAT TOWN??" when torturing that guy, and when David is in the burning steak house saying "Ellieeeee". That part was so damn creepy. Scott Shepherd acted the hell out of it.
Haha that 'what town' line is just Joel pouring all his Penicillin fueled hatred. Scott Shepard definitely killed it in this, what a fantastic villain!
Yes, you can inject specifically antibiotics like penicillin directly into the wound site. It's actually been found to be more effective than adjacent injection in several studies. In Ellie's situation it was probably what saved Joel's life because he definitely had an infection.
Thank you for the info! Now we are a little bit more prepared for the apocalypse! haha 😄
Bella's acting ability continues to impress. I have to keep reminding myself that she's only 19 because she has range well beyond her years.
Oh my gosh yes! Her range and intensity is absolutely breathtaking, she's an amazing Ellie!!!
A detail that freaked me out is when David said he used to be a math teacher to kids Ellie's age. A guy like that, around children and in a position of authority... Who knows how many victims he hurt even before the apocalypse? The circumstances might have turned him to eat people but the other disgusting part of him was there before for sure. 😡
That is the unsettling part isn't it? We see enough to know and feel deep down he probably was always like this. It's just that now he can go around and do it without any legal consequence. What a disgusting person. David deserved what he got honestly. 😬
I like the way Joel saved Ellie emotionally at the end. Also, was it great to add Penicillin, a fungus-derived medication that has helped save countless lives.
Yesss!! He was there to comfort here after she got her vegeance on David, instead of interrupting it which frankly we did like! It also added to her agency!
And yesss such a great touch to make it penicillin! So smart!
I like how they didn't really save each other but both fought on their own in the most horrible situations to get back to each other. I was thinking Joel would end up saving her but I'm glad it was Ellie who saved herself really.
I love how at the end Joel called Ellie baby girl, just like he did with Sarah. Great detail!
I KNOWWWW!!! That was such a pivotal moment in the games and it made us tear up all over again! Right in the feels!
These events are why I was nervous about them adapting the game to a show. It's the cementing of their father/daughter bond. And they NAILED it.
They nailed it 100% We are so so happy! What an episode man!
Just make a good show. Hard to please the game nerds just as Thrones was hard to please the book nerds. But those that just watch it as tv shows get to enjoy the tv shows. Thankfully.
Notice how James mentions that two deer have been spotted out in the woods…. Possibly referring to seeing Joel + Ellie.
Ohhhhh nice catch!!! Never thought of it that way!
Rewatching reactions to this show because I miss it. Joel grabbing Ellie’s bag was such a dad move, and the fact that he was probably half frozen by the time he reached her, but still immediately bundled her up in his coat to help keep her warm and safe-so sweet.
James was really adamant about killing Ellie before they brought her back, but he didn’t seem very violent or malicious… which makes me think that maybe he was trying to have her go the easier way versus being with David and/or the human butcher shop
That's a very interesting point, and is definitely feasible! It would give James so many more layers as a character! We like this theory a lot!
This ep was so good. Some people have wanted this ruthless Joel the entire series, but I think they deliberately played it down so that in this ep when Ellie is taken, you see how much he really has come to care for her and will go all out to get her back.
That's a fair point, it does make his fight to get back to Ellie that much more impactful! We did have to wait a little to see ruthless Joel but it was definitely worth the wait!
16:38 David instructed a two to drag the horse back with him and the others to go door-to-door.
Haha yes, we did catch that during the editing part 😂 thanks for pointing that out!
This was even more horrifying than the game. Bella owned this performance.
She truly did!!! What a fantastic Ellie we ended up getting!
Ruthless Joel, badass Ellie and disgusting David. This was an awesome and cruel episode, you can see how an apocalypse can change a man and release the worst of a human being.
Oh absolutely agreed! It's also crazy how they've been weaving the theme of love and what it can make you do - the moment where David talks about how his people love him and depend on him was what drove him to this insanity...
This episode was absolutely fantastic! We are a couple really happy campers, truly be a stunner of a show!
Y'alls reaction to Joel's 'interrogation scene' being included- which was very similar to me pumping my fist repeatedly-gave me such life. Actually holding hands over torture! GOALS 🤣
We loved the little nod they did previously with the older couple. But it was a scene played more for laughs. When they actually went and did this it blew our minds! Felt so good to experience this in live action 😄
I was thinking that Joel just murdered the rest of the town. That's what happens in the game. I LOVE you guys' analysis by the way! This is just great.
Oh that's definitely a fair assumption to make! Thank you sooo much for the kind words, it sincerely means a lot to us!!
I think they were trying to humanize him and help us sympathize with him before having him go into full blown violence. Also maybe he was holding back because Ellie was around? Because it was only when she was gone that papa bear came out in full force
Oh man did papa bear come out! I think this way it feels a little bit more earned. For us the audience that have been waiting to see Joel lose his sh*t completely and also for the story. He is right to be as angry as he was. They attacked them when he was weakened. And they took a little girl who they knew (Or thought) she couldn't defend herself. Glad we got to see both of them fight for survival. One for their actual life and the other for what has become a surrogate daughter. An amazing episode all around!
Normal injection sites are either upper arm, side of the hip, or the butt. As mentioned in another comment, it might be beneficial to inject directly at the wound site. My guess is possibly due to low blood volume/blood pressure/heart rate and getting it to circulate properly. Amount given is based on body weight (I couldn't tell you if she was overdosing or underdosing). Allergic reaction is also possible with symptoms ranging from mild (rash, hives, swelling) to severe (anaphylaxis, which would require an immediate shot of epinephrine to the hip and probably still need medical assistance especially to watch for reoccurrence of anaphylaxis within the first 12 hours afterwards). My wife is a critical care nurse at a hospital.
Whooaa this is so much useful information, thank you so much!!! We appreciate that you made the effort to educate us on this!
@@OfficialMediaKnights You're welcome! My wife and I are information sponges and pretty much jump to answer questions.
Haha we love that, we have a morbid fascination with these related topics so feel free to always jump in!!
“The way I would go feral if you stole MY effin deer…”
😂😂😂
I need it on t-shirt.
"Respect is earned, my guy."
CHURCH!!! 😂 💙
The little girl was probably eating her own father and she didn’t even know…unless the meat is from one of the other two bodies but it could be his father…🥶
This episode was amazing, Bella keeps proving haters wrong and the acting from everyone else was good too. I can’t believe there’s one episode more but I can’t wait for TLOU2 adaptation, I love Abby so much.
Spoilers for those that haven't play the game and for those that didn't read Anna's letter so spoilers for the final episode! Stop reading... I knew it! It's been years since a few people noticed the letter that Anna leave to Ellie and hints at her being infected while she was pregnant with Ellie, by the trailer next episode will show it and will confirm our theory that a few of us had, that's why Ellie is immune. The Stalker bite Anna and that makes Ellie develop her immunity. I've had this theory for years and some people say that it was a good theory and others that it was stupid so I am glad that Neil didn't forgot about the letter, are expanding it by showing how she gets infected.
Oh my god that was our thought too!! So frickin disturbing that David thought resorting to this was the right answer... Yikes.
The performances were INCREDIBLE, and Bella Ramsey is the best Ellie we never even thought we could have after Ashley Johnson!
And yeeesss, we need more answers on Ellie's immunity!! Cannot wait to delve further into this!!
@@OfficialMediaKnights May I ask what you would offer as an alternative, starve the whole group to death? I don't judge David for his decision of turning to cannibalism to survive bc I understand why he did what he did.
People have been forced to resort to cannibalism time and time again in real human history, so it's not necessarily that on its own what we're judging but also the point where it becomes unforgivable - which is when he decided to take people's choice away and let them live in ignorance as to what they're eating. Sure, there can be an argument made that people chose ignorance and just refused to ask questions, so they could survive not only physically but also mentally.
Another argument could be made that David chose to carry that burden of knowledge and let everyone else live in peace. But I think there's enough that we've seen from David and his patterns of abuse, predatory behavior, religious fanaticism and egomania that he chose what was easiest.
@@peace4myheart tell the group the truth and let them decide their own fates, they should have the freedom to decide if they want to be cannibals or not. Think before you talk trash, now you just look dumb and like a psycho yourself.
This episode was immaculate!! As much as I love Ashley Johnson, something about a life action performance from an actress of Bella's caliber makes me love this Eli more. Especially on that last scene! Also Baby girl!! And scott shepard was perfectly cast...super creepy
Bella absolutely nailed that last scene. So many raw emotions. She captures everything so beautifully. This has to put her on the Emmy’s sight. And yeah the entire ending scene with the baby girl ughh! Couldn’t have thought of a better way to make this episode 👏
32:06 Well, David DID ask James about the amount of venison that had left (which was code), in front of a group of people, so the people actually thought they were indeed eating deer. This all took place BEFORE they ran into Ellie. Bringing the deer in through the front door probably wasn't a smart thing to do, because it looked to me like they never got to see their food before it was prepared, and that probably made some of them wonder what they were eating before today, but they're too hungry to really question what they're eating probably?
David really was a horrible man, and the actor who played him did an amazing job. I hope people remember that David is just a character and that that actor isn't him. Some people online (and in real life) can be a bit much.
Every episode Bella continues to prove that she WAS the right actress for this role. I'm so happy we got her, and I can't wait to see how she and the others bring season two to life. This season held pretty true to the first game, so I expect the same from the next season, but will season two really be the entire second game? Can that story be told in just nine episodes? I feel like there's a lot there, and I think it might be better to flesh that story out a bit for TV before really getting into the story, but maybe that's just me. This team knows what it's doing, so I shouldn't try to put my nose in their work. Hats off to Neil Druckmann and Craig Mazin. Well done, sirs. Well done!
You know you made an excellent point in regards to fans' response to actors playing characters, which certainly may become an issue in Season 2. For Season 2, it will be harder to adapt game 2 - it has so many layers, so many plot points and character arcs, it feels like it should be split into two so it's definitely not just you that feels that way! We already know that Druckmann and Mazin know how to write one helluva story and adaptation so we do know they can handle it!
It just clicked for me watching this-Preacher man served the dead man to his wife and daughter. Holy hell.
They did the best job bringing "violent Joel" into it. The games are structured to be interactive things so naturally you get alot more time with Joel killing but I really loved how they handled it...he's dangerous and violent when he needs to be dangerous and violent.
Both of you: "I hope we get a Troy/Pedro faceoff."
Bella: "Hold my comic book / bottle of whisky."
Hahaha yup! Instead we got an Ellie Vs Og Joel which was still an amazing touch. Gahh we loved this ep so much!
It’s not just you two, but the people I watched the episode with also didn’t seem to pick up on a fact they were alluding to: the girl Hannah and the rest of the ‘church’ were eating Hannah’s father, the man that Joel had killed in self-defense. David skipped a beat before telling Hannah “we will bury him in the spring”, James is particularly upset and skips a beat when telling the cook (Hannah’s mother?) that the meat is ‘venison’. I think even David is particularly distressed by it as well, which is part of the reason he lashes out at Hannah and slaps her; they are all eating her father’s corpse.
There is a lot of ‘fridge horror’ in this episode, things that become more horrific when you take a moment to think about them afterwards and it ‘dawns’ on you. The fact that they are likely eating Hannah’s father is one (voraciously, with spoons and silverware clanking away), and another is David as a sexual predator and pedophile. There are some major signs that David planning to rape Ellie all throughout her captivity, and there are also signs that he has also been victimizing Hannah, in addition to feeding her her own father. If you watch it again and look out for these things, which I think are deliberate, this episode becomes sooooo dark and frightening. It’s even more frightening, I think, that these things are clearly implied, but not obviously stated. Great episode, with all the dread and pinpricks of hope that have made the game and the show so acclaimed.
Thanks so much for the comment and support! Actually we did pick up on that as it's on our full discussion on Patreon, which can run up to 20 minutes, so we have to cut a lot to save time.
There's actually plenty that of what you mentioned that was in our discussion, but can't use the actual verbiage due to UA-cam 's algorithm and the way it flags certain words being used that result in us getting demonetized. Therefore it's highly likely that more people picked up on it than you think, it's just tough to explicitly say certain things without endangering the channel.
Regardless of that, the subtleties in horror of this episode and the way it relates to survival and what it drives people to do, is chilling and truly incredible. It was amazing to see how the show managed to actually go to the dark places the game could only allude to.
Troy Baker did really good (I believe this was his first gig "in front of the cameras")...And Bella said it was -17º (1,4º F) in the "buddy boy" scene.
Week after week the show is outdoing itself
He was great right!? I was so impressed like man, if he wanted to he could definitely get more gigs as an actor in front of the cameras 😃
this might be my favorite episode of the season. truly.
the new space is looking good 👍🏼
I'm (Ari) with you on that one! This episode might just be my favorite! I couldn't have asked for more. They delivered in EVERY way. Bella Ramsey can flex on that massive performance she just gifted us with 😀
The importance of this episode can't be overstated & it was executed perfectly. It finally shows the cruelty & ruthlessness of Joel & how the worst parts of him have rubbed off on Ellie. This becomes crucial moving forward.
Absolutely agreed!
It was cool to see Troy. I would have liked to see him in the chair in Joel's interrogation, but honestly? Still a blast. And apparently the gal who played Ellie in the game will make a cameo, too, so that's gonna be fun.
Anyway! This episode was terrifying and perfect. I'd have really liked to see some more action with the infected, but eh. That's not such a massive issue I suppose. I also don't really see anyone talking about the scene where the only noise is the clinking of spoons on bowls. It's haunting and disturbing to me because if you know, then you know. It's utterly disturbing. Such a great scene to have added.
Yesss!! Definitely loved seeing Troy in this, but we also would have loved to see more because he's just that talented! On top of that, Ashley Johnson is going to be there next week! This episode was the one that had us the most nervous to be honest, but they definitely nailed it on this one, so the lack of infected can definitely be forgiven on our end!
I love how you guys dont talk over each other, makes it so much nicer to listen to than others
pause at 19:56 - that screaming face is the true character's rage in one shot from the beginning til now
You two are the best. I had to watch this alone last night. Then I couldn’t sleep. I appreciate how passionate you are about this show. It’s so crazy!
Wow, thank you! That means so much to both of us. This episode definitely hit the spot with us. An incredible adaptation to the game and amazing performances all around. This one was one of our favorites!
Love how enthusiastic and invested you guys are, I haven't played the game but love seeing how much it means to you.
Oh my goodness, thank you so much!!! What a great compliment, we truly appreciate you!
Dude I love watching y'all's reaction after watching the episodes myself. Im not crying your crying 😂😂
Hahah thank you so much dude. Also nah we're not crying YOU'RE crying 😂😂😂
@@OfficialMediaKnights south dude ? I'm lost lol
GAHHH AUTO-CORRECT SORRYYYY
@@OfficialMediaKnightsall good , I really appreciate y'all replying, definitely becoming a member soon ! 💯
Aw yayyy we can't wait! We deeply appreciate all the support, we're happy to have you with us!
So many great scenes. Bella especially shined
Yo guys. Such a shocking episode. Was hard to watch. So glad David got what he deserved! Can't believe it's the last episode next week! It just flew by 😅 Thx guys, the new setting is easy on the eyes and gives a chill vibe ❤️
It really was dude!! David gave us the creeps for sure, and the ending was absolutely amazing. Thank you for the compliment, we're so glad you like the new background!! It's almost complete!
just found your channel & your reactions are the best. I really just binged all your TLOU and Mandalorian ones. & I love that your reactions are just as long as the actual episodes and not cut down. 😃
Haha awww thank youu!! It means the world to us to hear you enjoyed our content!!
I really was sceptical at first. TV show adaptations can easily end up catastrophic.
When I heard Neil Druckman was in it I was relieved. He wouldn't let it become sh**.
I don't know if you know but there is a Last of us podcast hosted by the one and only Troy Baker himself which he talks every episode with Craig Mazin, showrunner from HBO and Neil Druckman.
They talk the changes between the show and the game. Why they did it. I can absolutely recommend it to you guys.
Same here, knowing Druckmann was working on this definitely soothed our anxiety for sure!
Thank you for the recommendation, we will definitely check out the podcast!
A huge, memorable moment for me in the game was Ellie going ham on David. When Joel comes in… when you don’t hear their dialog but know all that’s being said. When he says “baby girl” for the first time since Sarah died…
Moments that’s stood out to me the game that I looked forward to in the show. Ellie beating the ever loving shit out of David and Joel interrogating guys to find her.
“That’s ok. I believe him…”
Oooof. Badass Papa Joel moment.
Mr broken record here but I can not deny once again this week that this is the best video game adaptation ever made, I'm too hyped for the finale!
Couldn't agree more! This episode ticked all the boxes for both of us! We end this journey this week already! Wow, time flies 😄
I liked the way Joel and Ellie become father and daughter finally at the end
What a cathartic moment! It was well earned after everything they’ve been through together 🥹
Yess!! The way she sought his comfort and the way he without hesitation offered it, was truly something special to see.
@@OfficialMediaKnights Absolutely !
"Shining" in the background is the perfect decoration for this horrific episode 👌. The "religious" man, the unhealthy vibes, the final hunt, the fire, it was so classic and yet I didn't see it coming at all. I really thought they were good people and that this community and Ellie and Joel could help each other! I naively thought "OK, they killed this girl's father, but they were defending themselves, they will be able to understand it."
Watching the episode again with you, everything is so much murkier:
- "Can we bury him?"
- “Bury your father? Uh…”
Embarrassed look from James.
- "Not now, the ground is frozen."
This episode was so intense and so well done. David's character, what he does, what he thinks, it's pure evil, a horror movie butcher... I'm about to rewatch the whole episode with you guys on Patreon and I get shivers down my spine just thinking about it 🥶.
Let's end on a funnier note 😀. 22:00 : "Yes we're all animals". Denise: "Great...". Ari's face: "Well... yes, actually, we ARE animals, but that doesn't necessarily mean we have to eat each other. I mean, when you think about it, it's kinda fucked up...." Dude, you look a little tired by this relocation while Denise is absolutely gorgious in the tigers hoddie (it suit you perfectly 😍😍😍). I send strength to both of you for the rest of your relocation, the decoration and everything else 💪.
Yaaayyyy seeing your comment makes our day!!!
This entire episode was just a subversion of expectations, the performances and the way the story was told just sent chills down our spines for sure!!
Thank you soo much for your kind words and support, as always, it makes us sooo happy! Also girl, I look like a raccoon right now haha, the reason why you can't see it on camera is because of that Superman-strong concealer I slapped on my face 😂😂😂 magic of makeup! Ari is the natural beauty ugh 😂
We are almost done with our studio thank goodness so you should see the final version soon!!! We love you and thank you for your support again!
Might be my new favorite episode! The acting somehow keeps getting better. The "baby girl" line from Joel at the end hit me hard.
Also love the new digs! Keep up the great work!
This episode is one of our favorites as well! Chilling performances, the appearance of Troy freakin’ Baker and the last minutes ughh! Simply *Chef kiss* Also! Thank you so much! We are so happy to have a new space and new gear to keep making these for you guys ❤️
I love how the show creators are including the voice actors
Yessss!! So glad to see them being included like this!
Another great reaction. I can’t wait for the finale reaction and for future content in general. Thanks for uploading and being awesome.
Thank you so much for watching! We are happy to have you around❤️ can’t wait to see what the future brings us 😄
The whole grooming behaviour was insane and probably really needed tbh.. david was superb and hopefully that opens the eyes of anyone who needs them opened
Yes!! It was subtler in the games, but it was 100% what our minds went to. We were glad they acknowledged it in the show!
Clicked so fast ! Fav reactors to this show..
Thank you! We appreciate the love! We hope you enjoy. This was one of our favorites!
Love the new base of operations guys....has a bright modern feel to it....can't wait till you're done....I always love looking at how reactors set up shop.....you guys HAVE to get a Last of us poster now
Haha thank you so much!!! You're so right though, we definitely need to get one asap!!!
We are getting Ashley next week! Again, great reaction guys! Love yall
Yeeessss, cannot wait for Ashley!!! She's gonna kill it, we already know! Gahh, how are we almost at the end already?!
Thank you so much for all the love and support, we love you and appreciate you deeply!!
31:11 Kinda reminds me of that song "People" from the 60s by Barbra Streisand. Few people know an early draft of the lyrics were, "People, people who eat people, are the not coolest people in the world". 😉
Whooaaa we did not know that!!! Thank you for sharing this with us!
@@OfficialMediaKnights Lol. That was a joke of course.
@@johncourtright1632 I kinda like this “Last of Us” version better though 😂
I love seeing a live action ruthless Joel
Hello from Italy i love your style of reaction video is very genuine and at same time gives me more context and insight on what is happening and to understand acting nuance being not native english speaker, plaese keep on its very refreshing out here in youtube
Thank you for taking the time to say something nice! We're so happy you're enjoying the content so far! 😁
Great reaction! This episode was phenomenal!!
Thank you sooo much for your support it means the world to us!
The episode really was spectacular!!
eyy change of background, once again I love your reactions
Hahaaa thank you for noticing!!! Glad you liked it!!!
Typically medication that needs to administered via syringe will have the route of administration labeled on the vial itself, so it would have been Ellie's best bet to had read the bottle for instructions; also I believe the penicillin she had would have likely been administered intravascularly (i.e. the vein) and not in the stomach which would be delivered in the subcutaneous tissue where meds like insulin typically go.
Oh that's great to know, thanks so much for all this useful info!
@@OfficialMediaKnights No problem.
i love the new setup guys
Thank you so much! It's been a week of work and there's still a little to be done but we are so glad we get to bring you guys a bump in quality. You all deserve nothing less ❤️
@@OfficialMediaKnights i love you guys, also it has been shown that injection into the wound has been more effective, also have you noticed that david had a bigger plate and he didnt act/look starved meaning that he probably eats everyday
Ohhh man, that's a great catch actually... Also so disturbing - he knows exactly what he's consuming and making others consume without their knowledge...
Also thank you for confirming that haha, Ellie had the right instinct then! Smart girl!
First of all, congratulations on your new space and the growth of your channel! There is something missing, though and it is your names. I think you guys should put your names in the channel description and either introduce yourself in the video or just put some floating names...names are a great way to get closer to your channel, simple thing but will give a big impact, especially for new viewers. 😉
The performances of the actors were amazing, but hats off to Bella and Scott Shepherd in this episode, they killed it. I even think Scott did David better than Nolan North lol.
I was nervous about this episode because of the duration, I thought it wouldn't fit the David Arc and would continue to the next episode which would cut some of the final arc...but they fit the plot perfectly. I understand why there is no infected scene as well as I learned that real life Cordyceps' would hide underground during winter, hence why we haven't seen them in Ep 6 to 8.
But I like better when Joel whispered something to Ellie to calm her down in the game, there is something about it that feels very personal. Although, I prefer Bella's emotions when she butchered David...I felt her rage and I cried for it.
Anyway, great reactions as always! We're at the finale now. 💛💛💛
Thank you so much! We are so grateful that we got to share the new space with this episode! Thank you for your feedback and adding our names. We used to have intros and actually introduce ourselves. I think we might bring that back in some capacity. As you said, newer viewers would most likely like to know our names. For those reading this and wondering It's Ari and Denise! The performances in this episode were all outstanding! Bella Ramsey killed it, Scott Shepherd delivered a chilling performance and over all the tone absolutely hit the bullseye. One week till the finale. It's been an amazing ride with all of you ❤️
Someone was cutting onions near me too during that scene lol, so many onions 🧅 😭
I know right! Ugh this show is so good! One more to go man 😄
The injection goes in the upper arm or the arse cheek. Lol
Best episode so far. Amazing :)
Agreed, this is definitely one of the strongest episodes thus far!
The god of war reference made me giggle
Haha yesss, glad you enjoyed it!!! Gamers unitteeee!!
Dun fixing this episode is insane!!! I always wondered who is this savage Joel people talk about cuz up until now this is the first I’ve seen it! And it was worth the wait and this is what I thought last episode maybe he will come through and rain down hell and it happened!!! Now Bella……. What a performance she stole the show!!!!! My fave episode hands down. Also congrats on the new place!
Haha savage Joel is truly a sight to behold, and seeing him turn to an unstoppable papa bear to protect her was just pure awesomeness!
Bella was truly incredible, we are so damn impressed with the range and talent this person is bringing in!!! Just pure wow!
Thank you so much for the kind wishes, we are super excited about our new little setup and can't wait to show it once we're properly finished with it!
@@OfficialMediaKnights guys i cant get over the episode and now its season finale this sunday i mean sure we get papa pedro in mando but then thats gone for 2 years how we gonna live with no papa pedro for 2 years!?!?!?!
We don't knowwww, how are we gonna live without TLOU for another 2 years?! We cannottttt
The PACING is almost just too much... Bella and Pedro continue to slay
The performances in this episode were absolutely outstanding! Bella killed those last few minutes!
@The Media Knights idek how to classify these two anymore they're just leagues ahead of anyone else. Part of it's the writing, direction, and set design, but damn they've just nailed EVERY scene
I agree! Everything in the production of this was top notch! I’m hoping for some Emmy nominations!
Loved your reaction. A few things if I may:
1) They really didn’t leave any imagination behind with what David’s intentions were and that was even more terrifying.
2.) Bella Ramsey captured Ellie’s trauma response so beautifully. Ellie takes all of her pent up anger, rage, pain, grief and trauma thus far on to David and is completely overcome. The thousand-yard stare, screams, wide eyes, shock, and disassociation was so heartbreaking. David preys on her worst fear, which is that she’ll end up alone, and in the moment she leaves the burning building, she truly believes she’s all alone. So when she sees Joel, not only is she reeling from her trauma, this is the first time she’s seeing him okay after he’s been injured for the last several days.
3.) I love how Pedro Pascal delivered Joel’s line “Hey, look, it’s me-it’s okay baby girl” with such a tenderness and comfort. Joel doesn’t even know what happened to her, he just knows this terrified, traumatized little girl needs his assurance and love. I think this is the first time we’re hit with the reminder that Ellie can be both a spunky, badass teen, and a traumatized little girl needing a hug. I’ve heard from many people who’ve experienced SA that the end scene was so moving because that’s just what you should do for someone who’s been immediately traumatized. Pedro and Bella are perfectly cast, they deserve all the awards, and this show is just too flipping good! ❤
Thank you so much for watching our reactions! It means the world to us. And thank you for taking the time to write such an insightful comment. We agree! Bella Ramsey absolutely killed the last few minutes of episode 8. She has been delivering some outstanding performances throughout the show but those last few minutes man...they got us good. She has to be nominated for an Emmy. There is no way they don't get recognized after such an incredible season. 😀
To answer your question: it is best to inject penicillin directly into the wound, also an adult male should get between 500 mg and 2 grams.
I was waiting for your reaction guys! This timezone thing sucks sometimes because it's always 1 to 3AM here when I get notifications but it's fine ♥️ I'm so glad you also loved this episode.
- Probably spoiler section, not sure -
I'd like to share my thoughts too about this ep. Tbh i don't have much, this ep was really great, I was on edge the whole half of it.. but i wanna say this for the people who still wish that the show had clung to the game version at the end - that part where we expect Joel would come just in time to stop her in the middle of her rampage - First of all, realistically, i think nobody can ever converse inside that burning diner with all that smoke lol. They can do that freely in the game with the tweaks in animation, but these are real people. We have to consider human logic. Second, - let's pretend we never read the first point - for those saying that the game version was more impactful because Joel stopped Ellie right before she gets lost in there - compared to the show where he finds her after she's all done with David - I agree, it was impactful, NOTHING can EVER top that, but i also loved the change. This Ellie did it all by herself. They let her be DONE with it. It was exhausting to watch Bella go through that, and it's obvious ever since that they are building her character a bit differently to set up season 2.. - for this i'd just quote what Neil Druckmann said years ago, his interpretation of this scene in the game.. it still fits, he said - this time Joel saved Ellie " not physically but emotionally. " and we saw that, when she got outside the diner she was still in fight mode. It took awhile but it changed when she realized it was Joel, she needed someone to tap her back to reality and reassure her again. We thought that episode 7 was made for her because of the backstory and all that, but the truth is this is it, to me this was her release, that prolonged shot of her, all that rage she's been bottling up for so long.. Neil said “ David’s face becomes the punching bag. this is for riley, this is for tess, this is for sam, this is for henry, this is for my mom. ”
Wow thank you so much for your support even with the time difference, we truly appreciate you!
This is a great comment! We definitely enjoyed the change from the game as 1, it does set things up for Future Ellie quite nicely. Second, the fact that Joel showed up afterwards gives Ellie a kind of emancipation or independence - she had to finish David herself. And Joel, much like any parental figure, was not there to do things for her, but support her through her journey and console her if she needed it. So far they've truly done an incredible job, we loved this episode!!!
My thoughts on the girls father is that Joel was the one who killed him but that once he was dead, he became sustenance. That was why they had to wait for the "Spring" to have the burial until the ground thawed.
By the way, I love watching how excited you were getting knowing where it was going. This is one of those episodes where even though you think it can't get more intense, you are always wrong!
Thank you so much for watching it with us! This episode is definitely one of our favorites 😄
Penicillin goes in muscle usually butter calf or hip
Usually, penicillin is injected into the gluteus maximus. If you tense up it hurts like heck. It's best to grin and bare it.
Oofff yikes, sounds like hell! Thank you for sharing this with us, now we know!
In Jeremy Jahms´ review, someone said that actually injecting antibiotics directly in the wound works best sometimes (they mentioned a research with post surgery patients if I´m remembering correctly)
Ah man! We love Jeremy Jahns! Good to know. We were wondering what would be the best way to go about an injection like that. Thank you! 😄
@@OfficialMediaKnights This information is going to my "in case an apocalipse happens" notebook 😆😆
*Note to self* Inject directly into wound. Avoid mushrooms at all costs haha
Shock twist: Joel’s allergic to penicillin 🤣💀
YOOO haha Welp that would've been an incredible plot twist that nobody would've seen coming 😂
No the guy who they eat was the guy who stabbed Joel
An episode I was looking forward to. It was such a gut wrenching and poignant moment in the game. And Joel calling her baby girl for the first time…
my knee caps feel ICKY after that episode hahaha
Hahaha we felt that second hand pain across our screens for sure!
Man, to hell with math teachers...they're so calculating
but seriously, this is without a doubt the best episode so far and i've loved them. Best adaptation ever.
Hahaha loved what you did there! I think it’s my favorite too! (Ari) and I loved a lot of them! First one was up there too! 😃
Hahaha I mean they're so weird, their favorite tree is a geometry 😬😬😬
Anywayssss
This episode was absolutely incredible and this adaptation has been amazing thus far!! Love this adaptation!!
@@OfficialMediaKnights Hahaha love it. Can't wait for next week's reaction. It's gonna be fire
My girl, learned from her Daddy. YeaaaaahhhhhbEllie.
Hahahaha she truly did!!!
cant believe you guys were so disappointed with "left behind", and can't see the relevance and need for that episode (especially for those who hasn't played the games). Hell, I even felt it was necessary because it makes Ellies character more credible and the stuff she pulls off in this episode more believable (and prior episodes). I think violence in shows have the best effect when it is used with care, and I love that we don't get the "in game version" of Joel where he kills a ton of people like some 80s action movie.
Aw we gotta clarify a few things! We were disappointed with the usage of time in the show, rather than the episode of Left Behind itself, and we did state that in our post episode discussion of Left Behind. The episode itself was beautiful! However we would have preferred that those 50 minutes were utilized differently. It is absolutely necessary to see what drives Ellie, to see how she became who she is now, there is no doubt about that. Also, to clarify again, it did make sense that Joel is more grounded and realistic in the show - our main gripe really was that we lost some of the most iconic encounters with the infected from the game. Hope that clarifies things!
It's weird, I saw a lot of reactors who for some reason wanted Joel backstory but not Ellie. We saw why Joel is how he is but that explains so much about Ellie.
Sorry.. it was me cutting onions while watching you guys... i'm cooking chicken curry and adobo... want some? 🍲🍲
We love chicken curry! We'd definitely have some haha I guess all those tears will be worth it!
It's ironic that Joel was saved by penicillin, which is made from fungus
Penicillin goes Intramuscular in the buttock
And here we go 😁
Yeesssss!!! Almost at the end 😭😭😭
Small spoilers(?)
It gave me chills when they quite obviously stated David’s intentions, in the game it’s more so hinted at but you still got that creepy feelings however, David in this was so worse, I didn’t think he could get worse from the game yet here we are!
Tho I wish they kept Joel finding Ellie right after she murders David, where he could immediately start comforting before she could have such an adrenaline drop.
With the Frank and Bill episode, they made a point for Joel to tell Bill "Youre way too far out to attract stray infe ted", which would make the hourde scene not make sense. In the game there's a bloater at the school which results in more infected but they made a point in showing what a good job Bill did of clearing the town in the show that they basically wrote it out, not cut it. Just my opinion.
Yeah I guess the technical term would be they never wrote the infected in that episode in the first place so there was nothing to cut. Semantics 🕵️♀️ Regardless it very clear the show adaptation never really wanted to make the show about the real threat the infected are and made it more about the characters within the world. Even though I can understand why they’d go in this direction it is a disservice to the entire atmosphere of what The Last of Us is. The show failed to show us just how truly dangerous the world is to the point that humans themselves seemed like a bigger threat than the infected. As far as we’re concerned they don’t seem to really have a problem with the infected now that they’ve built societies around the problem. Which also reduces the impact of the choice Joel has to make at the end.
@@OfficialMediaKnights at least they've already come out and said they've heard the complaints and are saying there WILL be more infected in the next season.
I'm not crying, blame it to whoever cutting onions 🤧
Nah we're not crying, it's gotta be one of y'all with these damn onions 😭 But if it's not you, who is it?!
Oh shit, congrats. Joel say congrats. They moved
Media Knights: Haha thank youuu!!😍😍😍
Joel: 😑Congrats😑
*he just has an asshole voice
FYI Alec, the guy they ate who was the girl's father, was the guy that shanked Joel and Joel snapped his neck
Yes!!! Glad they circled back to that in the end!
GO JOEL GO JOEL. GO ELLIE GO ELLIE
Ahaha factssssss
You guys got that Joel killed the girls father right? You’re both super spot on and I really enjoy your intelligence and chemistry. Way better than a lot of reacts
Ohh yeah! And the crew are him after…yikes! Aw man, thank you for the massive compliment. It truly means the world to both of us 😃😁
They are dining on long pork. That is what human meat is called.
badass Ellie fr
Yeeessss, Ellie is the GOAT!
You guys are so cute😂❤
❤️❤️
❤️❤️❤️
That little girl was unknowingly eating her own father…
That's a horrifying thought 🥺🥺🥺
