Congrats to HBO for landing the hottest show in town. HOTD a while back, and now this. Westworld saga already in the rear-view, though 'some people choose to see the ugliness in the world.'
Ngl I doubted him when I saw he was casted ,seen some movies which included him ,but seen him as Joel now makes me respect that ,he is an actor for real ,idk if they could put someone else ,the same goes with Bella ,I always saying oh she don’t look like Ellie etc ,moral of the story never judge the movie-series by the cast.Perhaps this isn’t working with uncharted movie😅,it was good indeed but it was not an uncharted for sure.
@@TheNotoriousNemo she’s written exactly how she is in the game. the problem is you. there’s some underlying issues you’ve got and you’re projecting. take that elsewhere please, cause no one gaf 🙏
@@sab6261 its also going to be difficult when they adapt the second game when Ellie is supposed to be five years older. I cant really imagine Bella running around slaughtering all the WLF.
Episode 6 is probably my favorite episode so far seeing Joel showing fear getting emotional showing he is human and not just a cold heartless killer seeing Joel and Ellie bond even more just something special about episode 6
That scene with Joel talking to Tommy. As a dad, that just wrenched me to pieces. And the scene with Ellie and Joel. Again, wrenched me to pieces. These two actors are such masters of their craft.
Im so glad that Pedro did his own thing instead of just saying the "You are on mighty thin ice right now". That is Troy Baker's and his alone. Pedro's is "Dont, dont say another word". Super respectful to everyone who made the game and the show! His acting with Tommy is superb!
I don’t think it was about respecting the original actor as much as the line wouldn’t make sense since in the game Ellie gets herself in some trouble at the stables and runs off for a while. Since this doesn’t happen in the show, telling her she’s on thin ice doesn’t make sense at all.
I also wanna give a huge shoutout to Elaine Miles and Graham Greene for giving us such a delightful and adorable comedic interlude at the start of the episode. Both of them are legends in their own right, and they brought so much humor and warmth to what could've otherwise been a very basic scene. :)
I think what I got from this is that Joel has compartmentalized his trauma for 20 years, never allowing himself to properly mourn for Sarah. But this journey, traveling with Ellie, being responsible for her, it's been really forcing him to deal with it. I think that's what he's going through in Jackson, asking Tommy is a last ditch effort to avoid opening the box he doesn't want to open. It's really just too late though.
I love this addition of actually letting you see him allow himself to crack. The game isn't worse for it, and it's understandable as to why Joel is the way he is in the game from a narrative and gameplay perspective. You are so wrapped in wanting to protect Ellie while playing so besides Sarah's death he can never let's himself be this vulnerable. One isn't worse than the other because you have to do what works in each medium. I'm just saying the most tense scene for me in this story in either version was this dog. Because you see Joel that you are so used to being this tank, is completely helpless, scared and even though I know that moment wasn't the end, it made me feel his fear more than any infected scene ever could.
Bill to Frank: “I was never afraid before you showed up” 4:37 “Ellie admits she’s afraid and that he makes her less afraid. What Joel doesn’t tell her is she makes him more afraid” 🥲
At least they will get some BAFTAs ,cause BAFTAs are more unbiased ,they gave awards to tlou original game as game awards didnt and yesterday they gave awards to all quiet in the western front,my one and only best antimilitary movie ,1917 comes second
Nah man, it's not that good. The scene at 3:54 was nothing compared to the acting in the game. It's like they were reading the script as they spoke in the adaptation
@@roberthunka indeed,the scenes where are additional are more good acting ,but it might affect us the fact that we know the original one ,I would like to see it from the new viewers perspective

This show isn't only for the game lovers, it's also for the doubters who didn't trust Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey when they were first announced as Joel and Ellie...

It's a crime he had this breakthrough so late, but he deserves it to the moon.

This show is just superb, it breaks my heart in the most beautiful way, the conversation between Joel and Tommy, Pedro's acting, I needed that, I love that we can finally see Joel's vulnerability
This was one of the best episodes of Television I have ever watched. I do NOT hand out comments like this, almost ever. This was amazing start to finish. It felt like a classic piece of Western Cinema, with a modern sense of pace & depth. Its a modern classic, literally.
@@smerkz1378 what was a stretch? I gave episode 3 an 7.5-8/10. I don’t give out perfect scores like candy. This was new reorder television to me. It’s subjective so there was no stretching required. That’s my honest opinion mate.

@@smerkz1378 And I’m saying that for me, I don’t agree. But maybe you haven’t made it to “subjectivity” in the dictionary yet. Granted, it is a long book.
Watching Joel fail at keeping his heart closed is both beautiful and heartbreaking. He's finally in Jackson, he has his baby brother right in front of him, he's gonna be an uncle, and he's out here trying not to feel this child he's risking life and limb to protect and he just can't take it. Every time he feels like he could lose someone he almost gets a heart attack. This is the most relatable Joel has ever been. The scene with Tommy and Ellie they nailed so well.
Another freaking good episode of this show . The acting , the cinematography and the writing is pure perfection . ( Great acting from Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey . Also Gabriel Luna gives a great performances ) .
I enjoyed this episode so much. The reunion with Tommy, Joel's anxiety about growing this attached to Ellie and fearing he's gonna fail her. That scene where he opens up to Tommy was amazing, Pedro was so amazing he made me cry for Joel. The growth in the Joel Ellie relationship is going so well, and I'm so excited to see how it all pans out in the final episodes. 3 episodes left, I want this to go on for more, I'll be looking forward to season 2.
This past episode was done so well! We’re getting into my favorite things from the game and I can’t wait for everyone I know to get to experience the final chapters of this first game/season!
Pedro and Bella have really shown the haters who doubted them when casted... they where amazing as was tommy actor .. the bedroom scene was beautiful 😢
Damn fine episode! The set production crew really brought Jackson alive I was blown away! I loved every bit of this episode. like every episode. Joel is definitely struggling. I feel for him.
I was so happily surprised to see Graham Greene pop up in this episode. The guy is an absolute legend and a national treasure. He and Elaine Miles absolutely killed it in that scene. Such great actors.
Years ago, I thought Pedro was kind of weird casting for Joel given that he was already doing Mando (a very similar concept). That man is one of our finest working actors, and it’s entirely possible that this is the episode he wins an Emmy for.
I love these games and have been watching this show in such awe... this latest episode was literally perfect for me. I cannot wait to see how they tell the rest of the story...
@@milandjukic4583 awhhhh does it make you mad when every characters race isn't exactly how it was in the game? please explain how Maria's race impacts the story in literally any way
@@skatinguitarist123 Literally just been added for forced diversity, you look like you were born five minutes ago though so you've grown up in a time where this is weirdly justified.
Pedro and Bella are doing an amazing job as Joel and Ellie! The Ranch house scene was just as beautiful as in the game. The subtle changes make this feel like a breath of fresh air to those who have played the game. I enjoy seeing how this story is being adapted for the TV show. It has slight changes, yet it still maintains the spirit of the game. That's a good videogame adaptation!
I was so traumatized by ep3. But ep5 specially ep6 is the dose of recovery i needed. Pedro and Bella chemistry is spot on! I don't care if bella doesn't have any face resemblance with real Ellie.
I've never seen Pedro cry that hard and it made me lose it!!!! When Joel thought he saw Sarah, even tho he knows it was not her but for a fleeting moment imagines the life he didn't get to have... was very hard to watch! This episode was awesome: and THE scene with Joel and Ellie's argument... Pedro and Bella freaking nailed it!!!!
I love how after that conversation joel just kinda gives up in a way. He gives in to the relationship and is more open to her. Showing her how to shoot, telling her about the old world, joking. Love that. I don't think I'm ready for next week.
I'm actually in love with both bella and pedro, such a beautiful direction too everyone involved should be proud of themselves for making this masterpieces
this episode broke my heart, pedro & bella did an amazing job both recreating scenes from the game and adding new depth to the characters in the scenes that werent in the game 😭 the set for the town was great and tommy & maria's actors did great too. i woulda liked to see more of the university just bc that level was so fun in the game but i appreciate how they are condensing everything more to focus on character moments in the show
Amazing episode! The other leads that should get credit are the beautiful set design of Jackson and the surrounding mountain countryside. Although, I'm a little biased given that my office is two blocks from where they filmed the Jackson street scenes, just off downtown Canmore, AB! 🙂
I can't get over how Bella sounds in real life (British accent) compared to the show. It's just amazing how well some actors are able to do this (unlike some others like Vin Diesel or The Rock who always play themselves). Props to her! As for the acting, superb for both her and Pedro. They are a great iteration of Joel and Ellie.
Pedro Pascal's acting is top notch in this episode. He's so damn amazing in this. Like, the connection between Joel and Ellie in this so damn good. If Pedro Pascal isn't nominated for an award for this, I'll be so damn mad lol. Like, this show is damn amazing, the work put into it is astounding and I love every second of this show.
As someone with an older brother who also happens to be having his first kid in a couple of months, this one hit in the feels. Watching a sibling grow up and start their own life feels like it can bring you apart, but that bond never leaves. A zombie show has no right to make me have these thoughts man 😂
Ngl, I got chills when Gustavo Santaolalla's "The Path" played in while beautiful scenery rolled in.🏔🌲🐴 The Path & The Choice along with the main theme were a few of the best compositions made in video game soundtracks, ever. Been listening to these ever since the first game! Santaolalla magic + Brilliant filmmaking + Efficient adaptive writing + Incredible acting performances make this season one for the ages...🖤
I love this addition of actually letting you see him allow himself to crack. The game isn't worse for it, and it's understandable as to why Joel is the way he is in the game from a narrative and gameplay perspective. You are so wrapped in wanting to protect Ellie while playing so besides Sarah's death he can never let's himself be this vulnerable. One isn't worse than the other because you have to do what works in each medium. I'm just saying the most tense scene for me in this story in either version was this dog. Because you see Joel that you are so used to being this tank, is completely helpless, scared and even though I know that moment wasn't the end, it made me feel his fear more than any infected scene ever could.
*SPOILERS* I think one of the reasons they’ve made Joel more vulnerable at this stage is because it will make the moments when he does go full savage, like on David’s goons and in the hospital, more impactful.
LOU is showing our heroes broken and human without any powers at all, THAT for me speaks volumes of an era of superheroes that act like magical beings with no soul at all. Thank you for making such powerful statement that even the manliest and more powerful can also be the most vulnerable human being.
Pedro Pascal was outstanding, Bella Ramsey was very good too but this was a very Joel episode, we get to delve deeper into his trauma and he's obviously suffering from post traumatic disorder, not just over Sarah but the things he had to do to survive. But mostly Sarah that's something he will never recover from and being near Tommy again and getting closer to Ellie who's becoming a daughter to him is triggering his trauma, he's afraid of losing the only people he has left and so when that lady tells him about Tommy dying he has his first panic attack then again when he fears for Ellie, he's getting pretty old and he's tired and afraid and traumatized, he can't even process the fact that he's going to be an uncle because it reminds him of how he lost Sarah. I liked the changes, some stuff was straight from the game other stuff was different and there were references to TLOU Part II.
Pedro and Bella has been so good as an actor with the show which is getting better and better every episode. Take a bow Last of Us team for making such a great series. Its been awesome so far.
This episode was peak television. The show just keeps finding ways to top itself every new week. I already know the story from the game and yet this episode, especially Joel breaking down in front of Tommy, shattered me.
I LOVE how they make Joel human and vulnerable in the show, with his fear of failure and ageing. I'd like to think that 'Game Joel' is the way Bella's Ellie sees Pedro's Joel, in the way that kids look up to their parents: the brave protector with the perfect aim and practically invincible - after all, he can just respawn whenever he dies, right? Whereas the truth is that he's much more human that that, but it's maybe this idea of that unstoppable player-character Joel that will drive her forward in Season 2. Interesting here that they mention that "Joel wants to save everyone" - like a certain character at the start of Part 2/Season 2. Wow that is all going to hit so hard on screen!

this episode broke my heart, pedro & bella did an amazing job both recreating scenes from the game and adding new depth to the characters in the scenes that werent in the game 😭 the set for the town was great and tommy & maria's actors did great too. i woulda liked to see more of the university just bc that level was so fun in the game but i appreciate how they are condensing everything more to focus on character moments in the show
Amazing episode! The other leads that should get credit are the beautiful set design of Jackson and the surrounding mountain countryside. Although, I'm a little biased given that my office is two blocks from where they filmed the Jackson street scenes, just off downtown Canmore, AB! 🙂
Awesome show,and even better episode. Jasmila Žbanić did a great job. So proud of you...
Pedro's role as Joel fits perfectly, in my opinion his best role yet. His performance is absolutely fantastic.
They both knocked it out of park. Awesome episode.
Give pedro the emmy now what a powerful scene and acting
Ughhh I can’t believe I have to wait another week for episode 7. I’m so excited 😆
I can't get over how Bella sounds in real life (British accent) compared to the show. It's just amazing how well some actors are able to do this (unlike some others like Vin Diesel or The Rock who always play themselves). Props to her!
As for the acting, superb for both her and Pedro. They are a great iteration of Joel and Ellie.
A ton of british actors can do American accents (Southern is the easiest). Americans doing British accent......not so much.
Oh, he is taking the Emmy
Give Pedro Pascal an emmy
Pedro Pascal's acting is top notch in this episode. He's so damn amazing in this. Like, the connection between Joel and Ellie in this so damn good. If Pedro Pascal isn't nominated for an award for this, I'll be so damn mad lol. Like, this show is damn amazing, the work put into it is astounding and I love every second of this show.
As someone with an older brother who also happens to be having his first kid in a couple of months, this one hit in the feels. Watching a sibling grow up and start their own life feels like it can bring you apart, but that bond never leaves. A zombie show has no right to make me have these thoughts man 😂
The best episode so far got mad chills up my spine with how perfect they did with the big argument with Joel and Ellie
This was the best episode so far in the entire series.
Ngl, I got chills when Gustavo Santaolalla's "The Path" played in while beautiful scenery rolled in.🏔🌲🐴
The Path & The Choice along with the main theme were a few of the best compositions made in video game soundtracks, ever. Been listening to these ever since the first game!
Santaolalla magic + Brilliant filmmaking + Efficient adaptive writing + Incredible acting performances make this season one for the ages...🖤
I was always a fan of "vanishing grace". It's so sad and beautiful and paired with the giraffes in the game it has always stood out for me.
such a good episode, aesthetically pleasing for eyes, ears, and brain
Can't wait for Season 2!! Pedro and Bella did a perfect job!!! 👏❤️
I love this addition of actually letting you see him allow himself to crack. The game isn't worse for it, and it's understandable as to why Joel is the way he is in the game from a narrative and gameplay perspective. You are so wrapped in wanting to protect Ellie while playing so besides Sarah's death he can never let's himself be this vulnerable. One isn't worse than the other because you have to do what works in each medium. I'm just saying the most tense scene for me in this story in either version was this dog. Because you see Joel that you are so used to being this tank, is completely helpless, scared and even though I know that moment wasn't the end, it made me feel his fear more than any infected scene ever could.
Both Pedro and Bella deserve Emmy nominations at the minimum for their performances this series. Absolute masterclass
Favorite episode so far. You guys are amazing!
*SPOILERS*
I think one of the reasons they’ve made Joel more vulnerable at this stage is because it will make the moments when he does go full savage, like on David’s goons and in the hospital, more impactful.
Exactly
This is the best adaptation ever.
LOU is showing our heroes broken and human without any powers at all, THAT for me speaks volumes of an era of superheroes that act like magical beings with no soul at all. Thank you for making such powerful statement that even the manliest and more powerful can also be the most vulnerable human being.
This one of the most heartbreaking episodes so far 😢
Amazing episode. Full marks to the horse in the final scene staying so still :D
Pedro Pascal was outstanding, Bella Ramsey was very good too but this was a very Joel episode, we get to delve deeper into his trauma and he's obviously suffering from post traumatic disorder, not just over Sarah but the things he had to do to survive. But mostly Sarah that's something he will never recover from and being near Tommy again and getting closer to Ellie who's becoming a daughter to him is triggering his trauma, he's afraid of losing the only people he has left and so when that lady tells him about Tommy dying he has his first panic attack then again when he fears for Ellie, he's getting pretty old and he's tired and afraid and traumatized, he can't even process the fact that he's going to be an uncle because it reminds him of how he lost Sarah.
I liked the changes, some stuff was straight from the game other stuff was different and there were references to TLOU Part II.
Which lady tells about tommy dying, maybe i missed it
@@azkmn7 I think it was the elderly couple they speak to, when he said my brother is east, they said he's dead then
Pedro is just incredible
What an episode! The performances, the script, the cinematography.. Brilliant cast and production! 👏👌👍😭❤️
i really love how much they added to joels emotional story, they made him much more human rather than him masking it like he did in the game
Pedro and Bella has been so good as an actor with the show which is getting better and better every episode. Take a bow Last of Us team for making such a great series. Its been awesome so far.
This episode was peak television. The show just keeps finding ways to top itself every new week. I already know the story from the game and yet this episode, especially Joel breaking down in front of Tommy, shattered me.
I LOVE how they make Joel human and vulnerable in the show, with his fear of failure and ageing. I'd like to think that 'Game Joel' is the way Bella's Ellie sees Pedro's Joel, in the way that kids look up to their parents: the brave protector with the perfect aim and practically invincible - after all, he can just respawn whenever he dies, right?
Whereas the truth is that he's much more human that that, but it's maybe this idea of that unstoppable player-character Joel that will drive her forward in Season 2.
Interesting here that they mention that "Joel wants to save everyone" - like a certain character at the start of Part 2/Season 2. Wow that is all going to hit so hard on screen!
Pedro Pascal deserves an emmy for this episode. He's so great
I'm so glad that this lived up to the hype, man. Best videogame adaptation ever
Every week I am surprised how good this show is! It feels unbelievable
Jasmila did it again with this episode, what an incredible director 🙌🙌
I just came from visiting Canmore, Alberta and then seeing these familiar places that I've been on, such as the bridge, was a pleasant surprise!
getting chills....amazing actors
With the tavern set with the lights and everything, I half expected to meet dinah in this episode.
pretty sure she is the kid spying on them when Ellie and Joel are eating. She runs off when Ellie tells her off
We did see Dina.
Mazin and druckerman practically confirmed it's her in podcast
@@SohiHien I caught that right away and she did look like Dina for a split second that she was on screen!
we did see dina lol, she was the person spying on ellie
