Since the world ended in 2003, it would be great for people to watch movies about hope and world rebuilding, stuff about heroes and heroines. Star Wars, the original trilogy comes to mind, the Indiana Jones series as well. I also feel films like Schindler’s List and Saving Private Ryan would be incredibly important for this world. Also, art and humanities is something essential to us being human, so there isn’t really any wrong film to watch. Comedies, tragedies, dramas, documentaries, etc. all serve to entertain, and give a bit of escape in this dire universe. Hell, they do this for us now.

Pedro really showcased his acting in this episode. It’s the first time we’ve seen Joel vulnerable, and it was amazingly done.

That is were the anger and rescentment came from in his looks towards Maria, and Tommy having a good life. He was also jealous. Graig and Neil talk about it in the podcast. For me I felt Joel in this moment, being the first born, and seeing how my little brother has had it easier during our time with a sick mom. I was angry for a long time and been having so much shit happen to me since then. But now I look at my little brother and he is married and a dad. I am happy that one of us got some sort of normal functional life. Sounds very sad, but I will get there to where I want to be.

Also, I don’t know it the Cody tower is still operational; Maria said they’re careful about using the radio, but a few characters confirm Cody is overrun w/ infected… so it might just be a case of dramatic irony, where Joel assumes Tommy chose to stop contacting Joel, when really the tower was out; it also might have amounted to the same thing to both characters though, where Tommy is too preoccupied and overwhelmed w/ the idea of introducing Jackson to Joel, and Joel is desperate for a chance to save a family member because he couldn’t save Sarah

Remember Joel’s words here “you deserve a choice”

If Pedro Pascal is not nominated for best actor at every awards show this year THEN NO ONE DESERVES TO BE NOMINATED!!!! This was perhaps my most anticipated episode of the season and somehow it’s BETTER THAN THE GAME! Jackson looks beautiful and Gabriel Luna is as perfectly cast as Tommy as Pedro is for Joel. But what really got me were scenes of Joel clutching his heart from panic attacks and looking up to see a young woman who almost looks like Sarah, and when he was telling Tommy the truth that he believed that he was going to fail Ellie and get her killed. When Joel was getting teary eyed I cried at that scene, but when we got to my absolute favorite dramatic scene in the game when Joel and Ellie are talking about loss I lost it. That was my most anticipated scene of the entire series and not only did it live up to the hype, it exceeded it. And just like the game it broke me.😭😭😭😭

The number of times I screamed ‘leave the knife in!’ haha. Another solid episode. Incredible showings from everyone, but especially Pedro Pascal. The kind of anxious fear that has settled in Joel comes out so naturally in Pascal’s performance. There’s not only a boundary between Joel and everyone else, but between Joel and his own fears/feelings. He’s cut himself off from being vulnerable with anyone else, but also with himself. He really hasn’t let himself feel anything until they get to Wyoming. You could argue Tess got through that boundary a little, but Ellie has just blown it wide open. And it’s all set against the beautiful backdrop of snowy mountains. :)

​@@hellfish2309great explanation, thank you

This episode was amazing and being that it's episode 6 of 9, this serves as the end of the second act, where Joel and Ellie finally reach some sort of understanding at the end that they do care about each other only for things to go sideways again. The scene where Ellie pushes Joel is almost identical to the game (they even got the wallpaper the same), and it's one of the most critical scenes to get right since it's where Joel realizes that Ellie's emotional burden is on par with his own and there is an unspoken understanding after that of, "We both know now that I care for you like a daughter and you care for me like a father but we're too damaged to say so openly so we won't speak of it again", and in many ways if that scene didn't work, then the whole story doesn't work. It was one of the scenes I was MOST anxious to see how they handled it in the show, since Troy Baker and Ashley Johnson did SUCH a great job w/ it in the game - the bar was high. But I have to say that Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey hit it out of the park, there are so many emotions that they are both feeling in that scene and we as the audience feel every one of them, it's brilliant and so well done. Cheers

Funny you mentioned they should make a musical episode with Joel singing. After you finish the last episode this season, you should check out the alternate ending of the game. I think you'll feel very satisfied 😂

The song is a cover of the Depeche Mode song from Ep1 by Craig Mazin's daughter, it signifies a new kind of trouble from Ellie's perspective.

The woman from the married couple at the beginning played the secretary/office manager on Northern Exposure. Such a great 90s sitcom. She is so great and I hope she gets more work from this - she should be in all the things.

I’m sad Ellie didn’t say “you gotta tell me what to do” when he passed out.

Bella & Pedro ARE INCREDIBLE ACTORS ❤

As someone dealing with serious self-doubt right now (thankfully with much less responsibility than Joel) the scene between Joel and Tommy is so gut wrenching to watch. I want to give Joel the biggest hug 😭

The wife was from a show I used to love called Northern Exposure.

This episode was a feast for everyone who played Part 2. Dina, Jessie, Shimmer, Bison Bar, sheep, kids playing snowball, Astronauts, Jackson see from the inside. Simply fantastic.

I loved how the Tommy & Joel and Joel & Ellie conversations mirrored each other - to Tommy, Joel is all 'I'm not good enough for her, I'm going to get her killed, I'm failing her' (I loved that they left it unspecified whether J was talking about just Sarah or Ellie as well, I think both based on the surrounding lines), and to Ellie he doesn't get to specify why he needs it to be Tommy to take her, he lifts his wall up the minute Ellie confronts him about it. Just perfect storytelling.

Speaking of walking dead. It’s cool that Timmy’s wife also michonne best friend and classmate played a lawyer like she did in thats show.

I love the show and the games, so thank you for a shoutout on this video! Always puts a smile on my face and Pandy is just another great name haha

Joel is holding Ellie in his arms and starts to sing, "If I ever were to lose you, I'd surely lose myself..."

I have a feeling that in the next episode we will be in Joel's head, seeing flashbacks as like memories of Sarah, maybe he did some singing and playing a guitar too, before the world collapsed. That would be really interesting and neat to see since he has most likely gone into an unconscious state.

Pedro Pascal did a great job in the episode

Tara you may get your wish regarding the girl that Ellie yelled that who was staring at her behind the beam! That was an easter egg for Part II

I cant wait to see yall react to the next episode, especially with what tara was wanting out of this episode towards the end of discussion.

This is one of my favorites part of the week is watching you two watch the last of us! Love you two!

Tara's comments at the end of this video about wanting to see Ellie with a friend who is a girl...🤭 great reaction!

I used to play with my father the first game of The Last Of Us when it first came out and it gives so much good memories… Now seeing how the game is produced as a series makes me so happy.

The sheep farm on the moon moment was small but so sweet. Of course they had to break our hearts after that, only to mend it and then break it all over again 😅😭

The captions are great. My favorite part is when Tommy says adios to Joel but it reads "Naughty Oaks Big Brother"

Really hope they have a scene in a future episode with Ashley Johnson and Troy Baker that's something like the scene with the older couple at the beginning.

I love your chemistry together! keep 'em coming

Fun fact: Graeme Greene did voice acting in a video game, Red Dead Redemption 2, and is now in this video game adaptation, although briefly.

it wasn't a railroad tie, when the raider came at Joel, he swung a bat at joel, but it hit the tree and broke the bat, you can hear it crack. he must have still been holding onto handle when he & joel were fightin and stabbed him with it. the song was the 80s depeche mode song Never Let me Down Again that was played at end episode one. this was a remix sung by the daughter of director Craig Mazin

So the song at the end is a cover of the Depeche Mode song that came over the radio in episode 1 that signaled "Danger". And it's performed by Craig Mazin's daughter.

Those lyrics coming in on that last shot HURT! Wouldn't be TLOU if you didn't feel like crying, right? Great discussion and reactions!

The ending song was a cover of the end song form the first episode

This episode was like a rollercoaster ride emotionally. I was enjoying the whole show, but the thing I loved the most was the couple in the cabin. I wish there was a lot more of them. The wife's comedic timing was cracking me up. I really enjoy the John and Tara duo chemistry cause it's so fun and bubbly. Hope that Tara can become a regular like Andrew. I don't know why, but I feel that I would love watching you two react to Horror and Comedy movies/TV shows.

If you guys really do want a musical number. After season one finishes (assuming they follow the same ending of the first game) You can check out “Last of Us Alternate Ending” which is basically what you’re looking for

I think Joel is truly afraid of watching Ellie get hurt or killed. By the time he realizes he’s feeling his age, his fear becomes unbearable because he’s already beginning to love Ellie as a daughter, and it scares him to have those feelings, and terrified of losing her, failing her, and being reminded of the pain of losing Sarah (he said so much in their argument). Pedro Pascual really hit the mark with his performance in this episode, and Gabriel Luna’s and Bella Ramsey’s acting with him was nothing short of brilliant. This show has completely transcended the game, even if they’ve been taking 95% of the dialog from the source material, no offense to the fantastic actors who first gave the characters life.

Beautiful Andrew WK reference lol, that dude is the man.

J'ai complètement accrochée à la série depuis le début. Dosage parfait d'actions et d'émotions, le jeu des acteurs est impeccable. Pedro Pascal tellement criant de vérité, tout comme Bella Ramsey. J'aime le jeu en finesse, un regard, une posture et on a compris l'intention. J'ai particulièrement aimé la scène avec le couple de natifs. Je m'étais d'ailleurs posé la question de comment des natifs restés proches de la nature auraient vécu les évènements. Au final cela ne change pas grand chose à leur vie parce qu'ils sont depuis toujours en équilibre avec la nature et autonomes, j'adore cet aspect. Je regrette d'ailleurs que l'on n'est pas vu plus d'échanges entre ce couple et Joel et Ellie. Très surprise de Jackson city, presque trop idéal même si cela fait du bien à voir et de se rendre encore plus compte du décalage entre Ellie et les autres enfants. Concernant les crises de panique de Joel elles sont logiques vu qu'il s'attache de plus en en plus à Ellie, ce qui ravive la peur de la perte. Il a passé des années à se blinder ou user de "béquilles" (médicaments, alcool) pour dormir. Vu qu'il n'a plus de moyen "d'apaiser" ses angoisses elles ressurgissent. Hâte de voir la suite et un peu d'appréhension aussi puisqu'il parait que la fin est sombre. J'attends ça. I was completely hooked on the series from the start. Perfect mix of actions and emotions, the acting is impeccable. Pedro Pascal so screaming truth, just like Bella Ramsey. I like the game in finesse, a look, a posture and we understood the intention. I particularly liked the scene with the native couple. I had also wondered how natives who had remained close to nature would have experienced the events. In the end, it doesn't change much in their lives because they have always been in balance with nature and independent, I love that aspect. I also regret that we have not seen more exchanges between this couple and Joel and Ellie. Very surprised by Jackson City, almost too ideal even if it's good to see and to realize even more the gap between Ellie and the other children. Regarding Joel's panic attacks, they are logical since he becomes more and more attached to Ellie, which rekindles the fear of loss. He spent years shielding himself or using "crutches" (medication, alcohol) to sleep. Since he no longer has a way to “appease” his anxieties, they resurface. Can't wait to see the sequel and a little apprehensive too since it seems that the end is dark. I'm waiting for that.
