Joel: "It's okay,baby girl... I got you." Another amazing episode! All the protagonists delivered the right emotion everytime, we had a tenacious Ellie, a fighter Joel and a chilling David. And the cameo from Troy Baker was such a delightful bonus. Poor Ellie, she is taking trauma after trauma, and this one was absolutely horrendous.

When David said "you've got a violent heart", it hit me, they've changed Ellie's character so it's less discordant with the events of TLoU2. It's subtle, but they definitely have. Remember when Ellie had a weird look on her face when Joel was beating the the guard to death in episode. It was like a look of fascination. I dismissed it at the time. Then the scene where she kills the clicker and doesn't tell Joel. Neither of these things were in the OG game. Then her fascination with guns and doing a "Taxi Driver" in the mirror. She asks Joel for a gun in the game, but in the TV show it's different. They make a much bigger deal out of it and make Ellie look a bit unhealthy. Then the thing about putting her bully into the infirmary with 13 stitches in the flashback episode. Not in the OG game. That is TV show only. It hit me like a bolt when watching this episode. David said "you have a violent heart". That is NOT a line from the OG game and it ties everything together. They have DEFINITELY given Ellie a dark side that is new. I think the reason might be that a lot of criticism of the second game events focussed on Ellie behaving out of character. There have added a darkness and a violence in TV show Ellie that is not in game Ellie, to make psychopath-Ellie in the second game, less jarring and out of character.
David is a creepier character in the show, knowing he was a teacher in the 1990s and early 2000s, and him saying "The fighting is the best part I like the most.”
I think it stands to reason he wasn’t actually ever a teacher, the “teaching” is just how he describes part of what he would do. Then again they’re both disturbing options and it’s really impossible to tell so it feels like a pick your poison situation!
Joel calling Ellie "baby girl" and then hugging her just really puts a point in their relationship without even saying the words. It really signified "You are my daughter now"
@Darkstar I agree, there is a lot to get in and they have cut a lot so far and the last episode is only 43 minutes. if we don't get the giraffes, I'm gonna write a letter. :D
Your reaction to that final scene was very refreshing. Many people seem to feel like the scene where Ellie kills David is a triumph or empowering, but you look at her face and body language, and there was no victory there. He didn't get to complete what he was trying to do, but he still violated and assaulted her. At the end, she was still hurt and scared from everything-- not proud or confident that she "won against the bad guy". There was no winning with that, just surviving. Bella did so incredible with capturing that with her performance.
@@notBrocker oh hell no. She should’ve done everything she did, I’m not saying she did anything wrong. I’m saying that killing him is something she needed to do, and it’s something she did out of self preservation, not out of catharsis or for closure; a lot of people have been reacting to it like it’s a “get it girl” moment rather than the all around shitty experience it was.
@@notBrocker I get that too! Nothing wrong with your reaction; I’m just also happy to see a reaction that was more similar to my own. For me that scene particularly hurt and left me uneasy, but I’m not saying anyone is wrong for being happy that David is dead:)
This was exactly how I felt about it, initially cheering her on but then feeling completely heartbroken at what she had to go through. David deserved it, but Ellie didn't. And you're totally right - you can contrast it to her response to killing the stalker in just the prior episode. There was joy in that, if only for a moment. This was pain and rage the whole way through. Final note, Bella Ramsey is absolutely mesmerizing. Amazing range and depth for such a young actor.
When I first saw the white rabbit that Ellie saw it immediately made me think and remember when Ellie shoots the bunny with the bow in the game 🤣 nice little call back
Bella has been playing human fear and shock so incredibly well. The thousand yard stare, the stiff body language, the anger in how she is nervous, the seemingly involuntary vocal cry. It's such a realistic depiction of someone being traumatized over and over until they reach a breaking point
This was a fantastic episode and oh my god the girl who plays Ellie is an amazing actress (👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 bravo) Thanks for adding the information about James being the voice for Joel 😁 I’m sad it’s gonna be the last one next week though 😩
They were most likely hunting for people as in food. They immediately attacked Joel. He only killed one of them but there were three bodies hanging this ep.I
Interesting review. I am not a game player so I look only at the HBO presentation. I think Joel was quite ruthless enough. Scary too because he doesn't present as a crazy sadist just an efficient torturer. Nothing personal as it were. To explain deer hunting. It is a clean shot into the deer. It is common for the deer to run and drop dead. They also used the clicking noise that bucks make to misdirect people to think it's a clicker.
This show just keeps on impressing. Every episode is brilliant, even for me a non gamer. I def plan on playing this game at some point after watching so far.
I was eagerly awaiting to see your review. This was one of the best episodes of the show. I’d put this right underneath episode three and above episode 1. Not sure how they will wrap this up. Although I haven’t played the game, I know that there is too much to squeeze in, in the final episode
i'm gonna say it again, i'm so glad i never played the game so this is brand new every week. i'm just in awe as to how this show gets better every episode. you really gotta hand it to everyone involved in the production. but it makes me think, just how good TWD would have been if it had been on HBO. still haven't figured out why they passed on it. oh well, at least they are doing this show. and doing the hell out of it. great job guys.
I'm kind of glad they did because HBO has a tendency to cancel stuff after a certain amount of seasons. I am not sure we would have gotten so many seasons of walking dead on hbo.
@@MariahJade1 well sometimes longevity just for the sake of longevity isn't always a good thing. imo, there were more "filler" episodes in the last 3 seasons than all the rest of the seasons combined.
@@notBrocker well i can see where you'd feel this way if you're a gamer. but even tho i've had a few PSs and XBOXs over the years i'm definitely not a gamer. just don't have the patience needed to be a good gamer. which is ironic b/c i'm all the time telling Rob to have patience in waiting for the TWD story to develop. LoL
I haven't played the game yet but I absolutely love the show. Everything that happens is a surprise for me since I haven't played, but when the lady in the kitchen asked what the meat was and he said venison I was very suspicious of the way she looked at him. I thought..... hmm... is this a Terminus situation??? Lol
I think this show really have a nice pace with drama and action. One episode about backstory and then a episode with action, very nice. Love your reaction as always!
I just have to say I loved the change from David’s still epic and terrifying machete to him yanking the same cleaver right outta Ellie’s victim in the kitchen!!
"If you lost in the darkness, look for the light" If Ellie was the light in the darkness, there is not much left of it now. For Joel, it's still enough. He regains his light through her, at the same time she loses hers through him and this world. She is now his babygirl. Another low point for Ellie and a turning point for her. Here the animal in Ellie came out with her overkill and the experience she had to make. Almost r*p*d and eaten. Here she experiences for the first time the worst abysses in man. I think if you've seen Ellie's past reactions to losses, there wasn't much anger involved. She swallowed Sam's death completely. Here in her outburst really everything came out, which was not seen before. There is no way back for her. She will not be the same anymore. The episode is also important for the future. It shows what Ellie is capable of. A dark side in her that people like David recognize. Another very good change to the original was to show that Joel didn't manage to interrupt Ellie's Overkill. So this scene ran much longer than in the game. Which, in wise anticipation of Part 2, shows that Ellie does not come to an end so easily when she has started something based on her emotions. Her emotions/charakter don't allow that. This wasn't just an overkill, this was an over-overkill. I also think it's cool that the torture scene actually showed us explicitly how Joel has proceeded over the last 20 years. This was the first time it was really shown why everyone was afraid of Joel in episode 1. This is Joel we know. A nice Tess callback from Ellie in the conversation with David. "Your (our) luck had to run out sooner or later." were Tess's words shortly before she had shown Joel her bite. The father of the girl Joel killed will always be with her. Surely she has become full. It bothered me at first that none of the people of the city showed up at the end. But of course, the rest of the people didn't realize what was going on. The weather is shit and cold. They will sit in their houses and scrape the remains of the girls daddy out of their teeth. Okay, enough of the macabre. 😁 Troy Baker (Game Joel) as James was sensationell good. I didn't think that one day I would have to see Ellie kill Joel. There will be properly another timejump. At the beginning of the next episode they will already be in Salt Lake City. Also, we'll see Ashley Johnson, who was Ellie in the game.
(Disclaimer: Just so you know my perspective, I haven't played the game.) As relieved as I was that Ellie had gained the upper hand and killed David, I was also absolutely devastated for her in that moment. Any innocence she still had was destroyed by what David did and attempted to do to her and by the fact that he forced her to hack him to death to avoid it. Ellie just lost a part of herself and will be forever changed and traumatised by these events. That guy was a monster and the thought of him being a former teacher, a trusted position with access to children, is terrifying. His comment to Ellie that it's the fight he likes most suggests that he's done what he was about to do to her before. Afterall, how do you know what you like about something unless you've done that particular something before? Joel, on the other hand, is an absolute weapon. The way he arose from his death bed and took out the men left behind to search for him, despite being wounded and nowhere near fully fit, was quite simply epic. As for that interrogation scene.... well, let's just say he wasn't messing around. Nothing was stopping him, he was going to do whatever was necessary to get back to Ellie. On that note, I totally expected that Joel would burst in at the last minute to save Ellie, but I'm so glad they actually had Ellie save herself. She went beast mode. She's a true survivor. She is Joel's daughter. Can't fault this episode. Can't wait for the finale. P.S. If someone feels the need to tell you how good they are it's probably because they've shown you otherwise and as the old saying goes, "judge people by what they do, not what they say."
This was one of the best episodes of the season I think. David’s actor played a creep so well and the acting by Bella was phenomenal. One annoyance about the show for me though is that for a zombie type show there really isn’t much infected action. I really hope they turn it up for the finale but if it’s the same as the games it’s the hospital which isn’t infected. I can’t wait to see it though!
Kinda disappointed by it as well, but I do remind myself that this is The Last Of Us which is a story about the people, not the infected. In the game the infected are there mostly just for gameplay, but not always necessary to get across the point of the story. Hopefully there will be some in the finale though.
First and foremost, you two are the GOAT of reactors. Lemme tell you why. I watch another channel that's reacting to TLOU. They too play(ed) the game. And all through the episode, they speak of things that happened differently in the game, they give hints as to what's coming... such as they get excited about something that's about to happen. They talked about how creepy the preacher was right at the beginning when he was doing the funeral. When dinner was served, he did finget quotes at venison. At that point, I had no idea what this group was doing. But you and Trin.... you guys watch the show and comment on it. You don't give away what happened in the game or what we are about to experience. I watch the reactions to get some questions answered since I never played the game. Oh and now I understand the Joel thing. The other guys called him Joel and I got the impression it was from another show. Any way, if you got this far, thank you for what you do! 🥰
Thank you so much, you have no idea how much your comment means to us 💕 Yeah indeed we decided to take it that way so everyone can enjoy the show as a show and we try in the editing to please the gamers aswell :) it's a balance we thought fair to each sides :)
@Rob & Trin React! I feel like everyone reacting should take that approach. Thank you for that! Keep doing what you're doing and I'll keep watching with ya'll 😊
Myself named David I hated this enemy. A lot of people playing the game did not like the implied R*pe attempt on Ellie. This episode is almost directly word for word from the game. I bare no ill will toward the actor; he was doing a great job. The character on the other hand; one of the worst people ever. 15:11 Joel Miller, Ladies & Gentlemen. Think back to Episode 1 when Tess told him that Robert was TERRORFIED of Joel. This is why. #CertifiedBadass
well asthetics are important, to me its not the same character if it doesnt look like the character. for example, if you replace the stay puff masheloow man mascot with tony the tiger but still called it the stay puff marshmellow man... you feel me, it doesnt matter about the acting by itself, no red hair fat cheeks and a big forhead thats not elle, dont get me wrong she def owns the role, but its not the same character. but it doesnt bother me as i just consider it a different universe in the long line of multiverses inn the omniverse...
They have already confirmed that season 2 is going to be part 2 so yea season 1 will be the whole game. So obviously this episode was David next and the final of the season is gonna be the hospital. Edit. Also I just learned that Bella isn't coming back as Ellie as the 5 year time jump to part 2 she's to young they said apparently
They went full out on this one. In the game, you could get the creepy vibe off David, and he was obviously psychotic. But, Nolan North confirmed he wasn't a p3d0phiIe. In this, he was even more insane than he was in the game
Maybe he think so but the subtle writing in game was there. Pretty sure it was vary obviously if you think about sadly. Especially hand touch in cage too. And Niel said it too
@Andjelka99 In the game, he was trying to use Ellie. Like he said in the show, he wanted an equal. I am in no way justifying what he's done but he's obviously a piece of crap but in the game, he was a creep but he most likely had a soft spot for kids because he was a teacher.
One question that I had was how these starving guys are supposed to drag a horse. I don't remember seeing vehicles or horses of their own. A full-grown horse weighs around a thousand pounds. Just me nit-picking.
When he says "I'm a shepherd surrounded by sheep, and all I want is..." for some reason my brain said "some shepherd's pie." and I started laughing my butt off on my first watch. love re-watching with you guys. ❤

When David said "you've got a violent heart", it hit me, they've changed Ellie's character so it's less discordant with the events of TLoU2. It's subtle, but they definitely have.
Remember when Ellie had a weird look on her face when Joel was beating the the guard to death in episode. It was like a look of fascination. I dismissed it at the time.

It's so completely weird to complain that live actors don't look like animated characters in a video game.
Very weird
Joel calling Ellie "baby girl" and then hugging her just really puts a point in their relationship without even saying the words. It really signified "You are my daughter now"
Between penicillin for Joel and Ellie's arm...fungi saved the day this episode
Yeah true, people usually don't where penicillin comes from
@@darkstar3116 I think they're gonna keep the last infected incounter like in the game so don't worry

It wouldn't be a zombie show if a horse doesn't die 😀
I was thinking to myself “hey the first episode where I don’t cry my eyes out” until when Joel grabs her in the end it just hit so hard.
"It's ok, I believe him"
Look at Joels growth, starting to trust people again.
love you guys, you quickly became one of my few favorite channels, by the way, hello from Ukraine, you make my days better during this difficult time
Much love from both of us! sending you all the courage possible 💕
Elies sass is so entertaining 😆
This was a fantastic episode and oh my god the girl who plays Ellie is an amazing actress (👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 bravo)
Thanks for adding the information about James being the voice for Joel 😁 I’m sad it’s gonna be the last one next week though 😩
The group that came across Joel and Ellie a few eps ago weren't even armed with guns so they weren't trying very hard with their hunting for food...
Good point...I didn't think of that. They were going to hunt with baseball bats I guess...😂
🤣 And why did they want to go for joel and ellie immediately? They had guns and unlike the game these were both groups first encounters
They were most likely hunting for people as in food. They immediately attacked Joel. He only killed one of them but there were three bodies hanging this ep.I
Interesting review.
I am not a game player so I look only at the HBO presentation. I think Joel was quite ruthless enough. Scary too because he doesn't present as a crazy sadist just an efficient torturer. Nothing personal as it were.
To explain deer hunting. It is a clean shot into the deer. It is common for the deer to run and drop dead. They also used the clicking noise that bucks make to misdirect people to think it's a clicker.
If you notice when Joel stabs the guy in the neck its the same intense sound in the game when something is gonna happen.
David reminds me of the Rev. Jim Jones and Jonestown where over 900 of his followers died. He was also called Father.
Another great video, I found y’all through the walking dead.
Thanks for the entertainment Rob and Trin
Thank you so much!

It's not a zombie adventure story though. It's about the people.
I loved this episode! They just don’t miss.
Loved it! Thanks for the reaction
We’re definitely getting the full game this season
As violent as Bella Ramsey goes off at the end of the episode (on David). Chapeau!!
“Nothing explains cannibalism”
Have you seen the movie Alive, Trin? It’s based on a true story
~Trin, I heard about it but never seen it, will check it out 👍
🤣🤣 such little faith in tv Joel. Prepare to be amazed!!
Personally Bellas delivery of some of the lines in this episode, hit harder than in the game.

But you and Trin.... you guys watch the show and comment on it. You don't give away what happened in the game or what we are about to experience. I watch the reactions to get some questions answered since I never played the game.
Oh and now I understand the Joel thing. The other guys called him Joel and I got the impression it was from another show.
Any way, if you got this far, thank you for what you do! 🥰
Thank you so much, you have no idea how much your comment means to us 💕
Yeah indeed we decided to take it that way so everyone can enjoy the show as a show and we try in the editing to please the gamers aswell :) it's a balance we thought fair to each sides :)
@Rob & Trin React! I feel like everyone reacting should take that approach. Thank you for that!
Keep doing what you're doing and I'll keep watching with ya'll 😊
Pretty heavy duty this one, i come from a gore film background and still thought....wow lol
Damn just Damn
Myself named David I hated this enemy. A lot of people playing the game did not like the implied R*pe attempt on Ellie. This episode is almost directly word for word from the game. I bare no ill will toward the actor; he was doing a great job. The character on the other hand; one of the worst people ever.
15:11 Joel Miller, Ladies & Gentlemen. Think back to Episode 1 when Tess told him that Robert was TERRORFIED of Joel. This is why. #CertifiedBadass
Creepy ass episode, but still amazing, I'm still glad they stayed as much to the game as possible
You should listen to the podcast, Troy Miller is the host.
Whoops, meant Baker!
No lie...I got a chill when Joel called her "baby girl". It took me right back to the game when I felt so bad for Ellie.
well asthetics are important, to me its not the same character if it doesnt look like the character. for example, if you replace the stay puff masheloow man mascot with tony the tiger but still called it the stay puff marshmellow man... you feel me, it doesnt matter about the acting by itself, no red hair fat cheeks and a big forhead thats not elle, dont get me wrong she def owns the role, but its not the same character. but it doesnt bother me as i just consider it a different universe in the long line of multiverses inn the omniverse...
This was my favorite episode, it was one of the darkest in my opinion. We finally see the real Joel
Baby girl ❤
They have already confirmed that season 2 is going to be part 2 so yea season 1 will be the whole game. So obviously this episode was David next and the final of the season is gonna be the hospital. Edit. Also I just learned that Bella isn't coming back as Ellie as the 5 year time jump to part 2 she's to young they said apparently
Ellie kills Joel . There was enough meat (Pun intended) in this part of the storyline to be split into 2 eps.
They went full out on this one. In the game, you could get the creepy vibe off David, and he was obviously psychotic. But, Nolan North confirmed he wasn't a p3d0phiIe. In this, he was even more insane than he was in the game
Maybe he think so but the subtle writing in game was there. Pretty sure it was vary obviously if you think about sadly. Especially hand touch in cage too. And Niel said it too
@Andjelka99 In the game, he was trying to use Ellie. Like he said in the show, he wanted an equal. I am in no way justifying what he's done but he's obviously a piece of crap but in the game, he was a creep but he most likely had a soft spot for kids because he was a teacher.
One question that I had was how these starving guys are supposed to drag a horse. I don't remember seeing vehicles or horses of their own. A full-grown horse weighs around a thousand pounds. Just me nit-picking.
By the legs I guess. Also we saw them eat day before 🤮
@@Andjelka99 maybe if they quartered it. That would make more sense.
Tv time purposes. Like the fire spreading etc. Also, snow is slippery
🥰👍
When he says "I'm a shepherd surrounded by sheep, and all I want is..." for some reason my brain said "some shepherd's pie." and I started laughing my butt off on my first watch.
love re-watching with you guys. ❤
