Tommy knows Joel well enough to know that Joel would come looking for him and put himself in danger for him. Irresponsible to stay radio silent. He should have found a way to get word to Joel that he was fine and don't come for him. Tess is dead because of Tommy's failure to predict Joel's actions.

the radio silence thing was such a stupid plot contrivance - as if he couldn’t send him one last communique: “i’m fine, but you can’t come looking for me” the game doesn’t have this kind of half-baked tripe.

It was a massive asshole move to go radio silent on him, Joel could have tried trying to get to him. He should have simply said "im in a community im ok, we are quitting radio usage" Maria really seems like a bitch in the show lol, she is cold in the game but now this much hah

Bro I will always love Joel and Tommy's meet up in this show I teared up seeing Joel so happy for once.

I love when creators actually do it right when adapting a video game story to screen. Not just TLOU, but there is so many more that can be done this way.

Family is traveling half way across the country, mostly on foot braving every manner of tragedy only to have a tearful reunion one moment and then the next movement leave things on a "Well yeah, fuck you too!"

The moment she said " I'm not her"...the conversation was over, Joel retreated and put up every wall he had ever made for himself.

"Failin' in my sleep." bar

Fun fact. The whole town Jackson scene was shot in Canmore, Alberta, Canada.

I’m here for the Miller brother thirst. I mean..the plot. No but this is one of the best episodes of this show ugh 🥺

I saw one reaction to this where they started crying as soon as they saw Tommy. "They keep introducing characters and then they kill them. I cant watch Joel lose his brother too!"

I stumbled upon your channel cuz I'm obsessed with TLOU and I cannot WAIT to watch the rest of the episodes with you! ❤

That scene. All the awards

Yall are great together😂😂😂 Great show and game.

Love you ladies!

I enjoyed every moment!

I've waisted so much time watching you two and it was worth every minute THANKS AGIAN

Another reason to give season 2 of True Detective a chance; the actor portraying Tommy is in it (if only for a few scenes)

The monkeys were not baboons, but macaques. There are quite many different species, mostly in Asia (even as far as the most Northern big Japanese isle Hokkaido; the Japanese Macaque) . For research usually the rhesus macaque are used, because they are relatively easy to keep. Baboons would be to dangerous. All the best from the Netherlands!

Hi, I'm a MoCap performer and gotta say The Naughty Dog has always had an amazing team of cutscene writers and directors. These showrunners really did a justice to the video game. Also wanted to share a painful story of mine about the new Resident Evil Remakes. In late 2015 I was in contact with Capcom about the facial likeness role of Leon for the RE 2 Remake. I failed to mention I also have a voice acting background, in the end I lost the part... Now, many years later, when I see how successful those remakes are I can't forgive myself for wasting such a chance. In this business one audition can change your entire life.

All Maria knows about Joel is what she has heard from Tommy. Tommy left Boston (and Joel) because of the constant violence. Before getting to Boston, Joel and Tommy fell in with a group that did the same kind of things the raiders Joel and Ellie have dealt with do. So Maria's opinion of Joel is initially not great, and she is very guarded.

i wait for yall to watch the finally! 🤪

Fun fact: in the video game, you can find notes and audio recordings in the University of Colorado that confirm that those actually *are* infected monkeys.

"TOMMY!" was my favorite part.

"country tommy is doing things to me" ffs LMAO

The reason Joel lied to Tommy in the bar is because he didnt trust him anymore. Tommy stopped contact with him and chose Maria and the settlement over him, and this realization cause him to close himself off towards his brother.

Tommy will always be Ghost Rider to me.

You have to remember that Cordyceps and all the other kinds of horrorfungus that exist are specifically tailored to one species. One kind of ant, one kind of cricket, one kind of mammal. So no infected amnimuls.

I think it is more implied that the monkeys themselves weren't affected by the fungus, but could carry it in their saliva and infect you with a bite. If they could all turn, they would've and would've flat out attacked Joel and Ellie on sight and the firefly occupation of the college was pretty old. They had all tried to rally there, rallied at the college, then decided to go to SLC all before Joel and Ellie got there. Infected humans turn within a day, so it wasn't messing with the monkeys like it was humans. That is why I think they were carriers who had been infected by the human strain for testing. The game also had the infection carried in the saliva. Not whatever mouth BS they had in the show. Of course in the game it is somewhat implied that the Fireflies were playing it by the ear, and were just winging it. Dude might have killed himself THINKING it was going to happen and if he would've just waited, might never have.

If Pedro Pascal doesn't win an Emmy for this episode or Bella Ramsey doesn't win one for episode 8, I say we riot.😉

Ohhhh boy ya'll ain't ready for 9

Hey here's a thought, Could Ellie's IDGAF demeanor be attributed to the cordyceps?

Maria is apprehensive about Joel. I think Maria knows that Tommy is a "follower " (which Joel also said of him) so much so that Tommy has previously followed Joel in murdering innocent people to rob them. And think about how: someone pretended to be injured and asking for help...so the innocent people he (and Tess and Tommy) killed are the sort of people who would stop to help an injured stranger in the apocalypse. They were not only innocent victims, they were likely *_kind and innocent_* victims. Maria was an ADA who used to put murderers in jail. Tommy at least feels remorse and still has nightmares, but Joel doesn't seem to be bothered by what they did (he still justifies it, saying it had to be down). If you are Maria, Joel *is* the "wrong sort of person" to find out about Jackson, because he has killed for less than what they have. He could betray them all...or he could just lead Tommy away and into that life again. FEDRA might even pay Joel a bounty to learn the location of an outpost of free people living as communists with extensive resources and power...and Joel could easily justify betraying them if it helps him survive. That is who he is.

Ridiculous. Joel isn’t any hero or anything close to it but he wouldn’t turn in his own brother to FEDRA. Crazy talk. Also, Joel didn’t tell Ellie that Tommy was a follower, he said Tommy was a joiner. Joining the military, joining the Fireflies, always wanting to save the world. Then Joel says HE followed Tommy to Boston. Watch Episode 4 again, you’ll see. So someone isn’t being upfront and I’m willing to bet it was Tommy talking to Maria about that time frame because there’s no reason for Joel to lie to Ellie about Tommy or how he got to Boston. Even when Ellie asks him if he killed innocent people he doesn’t answer, which is basically saying yes (very much like the game). But Tommy definitely had reasons to lie to Maria. Then again, maybe neither of them lied and it’s just how each one of them interpreted the events of going to Boston. But again, Joel turning in this entire commune is laughable. Joel can’t stand FEDRA, doesn’t care for the Fireflies. But he loves his brother Tommy, so much so that he traveled across most of the country to ‘save him’. They have their differences, just as any family does, and obviously Tommy knew why Joel reacted the way he did to Tommy going to be a father. As for Maria and the counsel, they just want to protect their town. Tommy is certainly not the only one not being able to radio a loved one. Maria has heard of Joel’s past and doesn’t trust him but only knows Joel from what she has been told, and Maria’s talk with Ellie is just her parental instinct coming out, trying to protect Ellie. Like Joel, she misses her child too, they just cope way differently, and if Maria knew how Joel protects and now loves Ellie as a daughter she would still be weary about his past but she would respect him. Further, if she was with Tommy when Joel was talking with him about how afraid he was now not being able to protect Ellie properly I think she would downright change her entire attitude towards him.

Take this with a whole ton of salt because I've had a few drinks, but I really don't like putting Arianna and Maple together. If either of them have someone to talk to, and question things with, they just ask questions WHILE CHARACTERS ARE PERFORMING THE DIALOGUE, and then both of them don't know what's going on because they weren't listening or paying attention. They both just loudly ask questions that WILL BE ANSWERED IF THEY JUST STOP TALKING AND WATCH THE SHOW. I like Arianna and Maple separately, but when they're together they just forget how narratives work.
