It also lets us know that Joel and Tess were together for at least 14 years. It makes her death and impact on him so much bigger than in the game.
Bill helped Joel in a way much greater than providing supplies. He reminded Joel of his purpose; Joel is a protector. That purpose along with Tess's last words to him to "Save who you can save", have given Joel a reason to keep moving. Just a masterwork in having other characters profoundly impact the main characters to influence their actions in a way that moves the story forward and carries certain themes throughout a season. Hopefully the Last of Us audience gets this better than The Witcher audience, and understands why changes are made when making television.
Episode 3 is one my favorite piece of recent television. Great acting, music, directing, writing. Perfect storytelling. In each episode they make us fall in love with a character (or more) to take them away before the end. It's tragic and beautiful. I cried my little black heart out.
In another video, someone said, "Bill knew how to survive, Frank knew how to live." I think that perfectly encapsulates their relationship. It's not often you get to see the "wins" in these post-apocalyptic worlds, only strife and struggle.
And by the end of the episode, we see Joel has fallen into Bill's role - survivalist, protector - while Ellie is concerned about the little things that turn surviving into living (showers, TP, music for the drive, and so on)
"Bill knew how to survive, Frank knew how to live."
I dunno, Bill was a better chef and a better piano player. Seems like he knew at least some portions of "how to live".
@@KthulhuXxx And when was the last time Bill cooked a fancy meal or played piano before Frank showed up? Probably years or even decades.
@@KthulhuXxx Yes, but Bill didn't have anything to live FOR without Frank, other than stubbornness.
The whole episode leads up to the letter he left for Joel. The letter also has meaning for Joel and Tess (had she lived) and now its words will also be true for Joel and Ellie, I suspect. Superb writing on this episode.
Song at the end of Episode one. " I'm taking a ride With my best friend". Completely gives a new meaning to this episode.
This episode was some of the best TV I've ever seen
Nah
@@jorgeluisvillegasrodriguez6200 Yah, but I get it. You're trying to be edgy and cool.
Great episode
you mean worst
@@Ahluk1 Or he's just a raging homophobe. Or has the emotional capacity of belly button lint. It's hilarious how they all come out of the woodwork just to reply to people's appreciation of the episode negatively.
I heard this from someone else, but it rings so true, "Bill knew how to survive, Frank knew how to live." That's why it worked so well for the two of them. Such an amazing episode! My heart is broken.
It's a blink-and-you-miss-it detail, but as Bill is gathering supplies after everyone else clears out, you see a sign at one of his stops that says "New Bedford Gas". New Bedford is way down on the south shore, some 70-odd miles away from Lincoln - which shows you the incredible extent to which Bill's stocking up on fuel supplies.
People say that they like that they played Linda Rondstadt at the end of the episode to remember Bill and Frank. I like to believe that they played that song at the beginning of two beautiful relationships.
This episode tells a story that is just hinted at in the game. I frickin' love it.
They changed a few things, but the change is better for TV.
There are not a lot of things in this world that makes me cry. But love makes me tear up, and I did during this episode. This made me tear up like the opening of "up" made me tear up.
Just a sweet story of two people who were lucky to find something awesome, someone awesome, in the worst of situations.
I felt like I was watching a romance movie instead of a video game adaption. It was a work of art and broke down humanity to its core. The power of love, unity, and more importantly, hope in a world that is cruel and dark.
I cannot agree more.
Remember the radio guy in the Boston QZ?
"There are worse things than infected out there. There are raiders. There are slavers!"
It's all in the title, man. "The Last of Us." The story is about us trying to hold on to our humanity. That's this episode works so perfectly and doesn't feel out of place. It builds the world, shows an entire life inside the post-apocalypse, and has some obvious parallels to, and deviations from, Joel's situation, as made clear by the end. One of the best episodes of television I've ever seen.
Maybe the best ever
This is one of the best examples of when to deviate from the source material. It’s such a touching and well-told love stories that it’s almost a short film in and of itself.
Plus, I love how it informs and pushes the main plot. I think it gives Joel a renewed sense of purpose when he reads Bill’s letter. It’s like a part of him realizes what his role in the world is now, to protect others. He lost sight of that after Sarah, but it’s like he regains that focus after this episode.
Yes, the letter cleansed him, and after taking the shower, Joel was reborn
@@deanwalker9605 Didn’t catch the shower symbolism, but that’s a nice touch. It makes complete sense.
It also further reinforces the idea Joel is the right guy to depend on. "Call Joel." is quite a dying wish.
@@acevfx2923 For sure. I feel like it’s established throughout the game and here that folks may not like Joel’s personality but they don’t doubt his ability to get the job done and to do whatever it takes in pursuit of that.
He’s getting there, but Joel is still nowhere close to remembering or focusing on his protector role yet. Just look at the way he stormed out of the house when Bill mentioned Tess in his letter. He’s still refusing to even talk about it. I bet he’s still referring to Ellie as “cargo” on the next episode. Joel still has a long way to go.
A great reaction just remember to keep your tissues close. It's a beautiful story of Bill and Frank living a life despite the pandemic. So nice they found each other.
This episode was truly outstanding television.
I've played the game and I didn't expect this. I have a general idea of what's coming but this hit harder than the game.
The voice of tess in the games Anna wershing just PASSED AWAY r.i.p
Think about all the memories that would suddenly come rushing back the first time you tasted a strawberry after 10 years. Summer. Love. Swimming. Barbecues. It's actually an extremely powerful moment.
I feel like this show gets a huge W for introducing me to Linda Ronstadt.
I was bawling my eyes out 😭 What an amazingly heartfelt episode🥹
Such an incredibly beautiful love story in the midst of chaos.
Even those of us who had played the game weren't prepared for this episode.
I cried over stawberries. And quite a lot else.
Who would have thought a zombie apocalypse show would bring us not only a incredibly touching love story, but also two examples of wholesome strong masculinity. These shows usually show just the darker side of humanity, this showed something much more beautiful.
This episode is the most poignant of all episodes of The Last Of Us. The story arc between Bill & Frank's relationship was very heartbreaking, even with that scene with the strawberries. BTW, I'm glad you were able to find an extra tissue packet, at 16:09, after finding an empty one, at 15:32.
You, "I'm not going to cry for strawberries"
Me, "But you are going to cry.."
20 years, more or less, odds are they had the best lives one could want in this place.. the option of going out on one's own terms is a thing that is largely denied us, but it's an important thing. It's a question of quantity of life vs quality of life.. and I know which I'd pick every day.
I read some comment and someone put it simple but beautiful: Bill knew how to survive, Frank knew how to live.
this episode was so different from what I expected. Having played the games I thought would be a lot of action and Ellie jokes, but this is story I never knew I wanted and now It would feel wrong to leave it out. In the end the last of us to me is a extremely well done story from start to finish it is really intense, but that is why it hits it is so good because it feels legimtely real.
I can honestly say this one emotionally wrecked me.
My favorite episode of the series so far.
The showrunners committed an unforgivable crime in using "On the Nature of Daylight" during those final scenes with Bill and Frank. It was deeply emotional, this episode, and just such a beautiful record of two people finding love and joy and going out on their own terms in a world bereft of all of that. Just a gorgeous episode.
nick offerman was working his ass off on the final day
This Episode has an Emmy waiting, in a just World.
Not going to lie, having an entire Home Depot to myself would be a dream come true.
10/10 episode!
I’ve watched it, and I’ve watched a couple of reactions to it, and every time, EVERY time, Bill and Frank’s last day and last meal has had me in tears! I’m not easy to break, but this episode has got me good.
It’s a different path for Bill and Frank from their story in the game, but I would say it’s actually better, it was a nice change of pace for the series and the fleshing out of other characters adds more than the game did, obviously playing the game you are watching the story unfold from just Ellie and Joel’s perspective, so seeing other perspectives brings a freshness to the story for those of us that “know” the story having played the game.
There’s more to come, a lot more, and as good as this episode is, I think it could be topped further in. This could be one of the best TV series ever made if they keep this up.
We were not meant to be alone, in any situation, living and more importantly dying.
🍓 🍓 🍓 = 😭 😭 😭 It's going to be very hard not to think of this episode the next time you, or I, see strawberries again.
I love that their first and final meals together were the same.
This was so heartfelt and heartbreaking.
See you for the next episode. btw.... Season 2 has already been approved!
Take care, Addie!!
in the game, you just dodged bill's traps and then helped him get a car battery and then find out frank hung himself cuz he was bit a long time ago and bill didn't know till you find his body.
they changed Bill's Town a lot for the show, but it worked so much better FOR A SHOW
I been thinking about this. They could have started Bill and Frank out much the same, and have Bill's fear and paranoia trying to keep a guy like Frank alive ultimately drive Frank into hating him, trying to get away, and getting bit. Joel and Ellie find Frank on the way into town and debate giving Bill Frank's suicide note. I think it would have worked, but this adaptation is very well done and still works for conveying this world and developing Joel and Ellie
Thanks, Addie! I'd say Episode 3 was easily among the best adaptations a television series has ever been able to achieve, improving on the already great source material... a true work of art. Love amidst chaos. I hope it opens some closed hearts. 💎 #AddieCounts #TheLastOfUs #TLOU #TheLastOfUsHBO
Doesn't matter what format it's told with, this story is great at kicking you in the feels.
I lasted till I realised their last meal was the same as their first meal, then I just broke.
And Bill sits right next to him 😭
@@wyattcoe8825 That was what did it for me 💔the one thing he did differently with the meal.
@@NathanAnderson87 My heart melted.
It’s beautiful how the writers and director used time to highlight the meaningful growth both characters bring to each other. Usually time skipping feels like a cheat when pressed for time, but this was intentional and needed.
Another lovely parallel I noticed is how when they meet, Frank is literally starving and Bill is emotionally starved. Frank is satisfied at the end of their first meal and says so, words echoed by Bill as he chooses to leave this world with his love rather than suffer another day without him.
They gave each other the one thing they couldn’t give themselves.
This was definitely my favorite episode so far. It was beautiful.
I don't know if someone else already commented this in the conversation below but I heard this from another reacter channel and it made part of the episode so much more poignant for me. Due to the Outbreak hitting in late 2003, the Last of Us timeline never saw a legalization of gay marriage (first legalization in 2004 our timeline) so their marriage scene hit home so much harder for me. Beautiful, lovely, heart wrenching episode. Probably some of the best I've seen in a "long, long, time"
Exquisite story telling
Beautiful storytelling. Wow. This show needs all the awards
I think this episode will be either you loved it or hate it. Even though this was a major depature from the game, this episode was amazing. Nick Offerman and Murray Bartlet's acting and emotion was so good, they need to win something for their performance. I balled my eyes out
Even after taking personal taste into account, you gotta be mental to not at least like this episode. If someone hates it, they need to get laid
They brought back a few actors from the game, but one I was disappointed to see not return was Annie Wersching. I didn't realize she was battling cancer though and lost that battle Sunday. She played Tess in the game. At least she didn't die the same day ep2 aired, but still, that hit hard finding that out going into episode 3.
They definitely fleshed out Bill and Frank far more than the video game. It was nice to see more of their story. However, in the game, there is some great interaction between Bill, Joel, and Ellie, which I was really looking forward to being translated to the show, so I can't help but feel like I was deprived of something. In the game, Frank was already dead, and was nothing more than a very bitter wound in Bill's heart. So while I did enjoy the backstory, I do feel like they sacrificed something great to give us a side story. A great poetic side story, but still. I have mixed feelings about this. There is a line "He's the only one crazy enough to wear a shirt like that." I really would have loved to see them clash over Frank's Hawaiian shirts. Missed opportunity there.
The actor I thought they would use in the series was W Earl Brown. Not sure what happened, the only comment Brown had on the series that I've seen is that he was "not offered that role". That's pretty ambiguous so maybe they offered him another role instead and he wasn't happy about that and did not accept. Maybe they always thought that Offerman was better for the role even though Brown's pretty accomplished in his own right (most notably as Dan Dority in the series Deadwood).
Great vid Addie, such a great episode :)
This is a sad and beautiful episode. I know the whole series is about a pandemic, but this is a brilliant "lockdown" episode. Many, many of us learned, for better or worse, about ourselves, our relationships, and our needs, when the lockdowns happened. Bill learned how to let someone in and that survival isn't the only goal. Classic episode.
If you watch Frank painting in the scene where Bill is watering the flowers, you can see he's bothered by something and the painting looks a bit haphazard, especially compared to his other paintings. The next day he told Bill it was his last day. He knew it was time to go when he could no longer paint Bill.
This episode might get the show an Emmy. Beautifully tragic.
A fantastic episode 💜💜
3:37 I love seeing Addie's karate moves. lol
Probably one of the saddest episodes in recent television 🥲
Saddest, and yet also so full of hope and joy.
That strawberry scene!!! 😢
Loved this episode and loved the reaction, you have a new sub
"I am NOT going to cry over strawberries!" 🤣
What a gift this show is, just stunning. A career defining performance. It's going to be a while before I can get my mind around this episode. The may have been the single greatest episode of TV I've seen in years.
Great episode
I know it sounds a bit weird and I'm very sorry for it, but please don't get me wrong. I really love your expressive eyes and mouth and sometimes it is even distracting me from what is going on in the movie/series. I can see your feelings and emotions very clearly there. And please do take this as a compliment, Addie!
Oh, and the episode was cruel and beautiful.
Addie: "We seem to be losing people every episode."
Me: " >.> "
It has been about love from the start and this episode was beautiful.
Bill & Frank an epic Love Story we didn't know we needed. Thank you Naughty Dog & HBO.
This Episode was a better love story then Titanic!
I agree
This was such a sweet episode and heartbreaking. Loved it! Thanks Addie.
I love your reactions and love this one as i figured I would. One question-where is episode 2?
This is a huge departure from what happens in the game, but for the better.
In the game, Bill is alive, but alone after he and Frank have a falling out. Frank has left and you come to learn hung himself after getting bit trying to leave the town.
Game Bill is basically what would have happened if the Bill in the show didn't allow Frank to improve the neighborhood and not just try to survive, but thrive. Game Frank died hating Bill. Game Bill is a bitter man who very reluctantly helps Joel and Ellie. He's what Joel will become if he continues to refuse to care for others and survive alone and game Joel realizes that. The letter from Bill in this episode serves the same purpose from the opposite direction: you need to take care of the people close to you.
SPOILER WARNING
I'm having a really hard time accepting this episode for what it is as a fan of the game. I have no issues with there being a backstory on how he met Frank. but I was expecting a toxic relationship that would eventually lead to Frank hanging himself after being bit and Bill finding out he hated him in the suicide note. My problem is your sentence "He's what Joel will become if he continues to refuse to care for others and survive alone and game Joel realizes that. " And I feel like people are saying that but they don't actually realize Joel grows and betters himself and learns to love again on his journey with Ellie. You can argue it ended up in a selfish way because he saved her instead of letting the Fireflies kill her, but my big point is who was he to know there really would be a cure if they killed her because of her immunity? The added part in the beginning of episode 1 even hints it's not possible to make a cure. And how would game Joel know it was really true that a vaccine could be made from her? He just used his fatherly instincts so that he wouldn't lose another person he loved. I think that shows a lot about who Joel became. In a world of survival, you have no choice. You kill to survive and to save the ones you love.
@@waynejohnson9374 SPOILERS ABOVE!
delete/edit your comment, man.
This was exactly my interpretation. Game Bill is who he would become if Frank left, and god knows Bill was a difficult man. But the tv show presents us who Bill would become if Frank managed to change him through time, little by little, and make him more human. What a sublime episode.
Never would I have thought I would've cried so much at a "filler" episode
They really did Frank and Bill justice with this flashback.
Did the episode 2 reaction get taken down? I don't see it on your channel
This took everybody by surprise because as others said this was a huge deviation from Video Game Bill and Frank but it worked for this adaptation. We are all gonna go through so many tissues by the time this season ends 😂
Dude, I live "west of Boston". If they don't run across at least 3 derelict Dunkin Donuts in the next two days, I'm calling shenanigans.
okay okay, back to the emotional suffering
Making booze would massively increase survival skills the more you make the more fuel you`d have for fuelling a truck, generators cooking, heat and defences...
Also going to machine shops and taking the equipment eg pillar drills, laths etc would be a advantage for building spare engines basic chain drive gearboxes, building cars for certain tasks etc...
Oh I was looking for a Reaction to the second episode?
A slice of life episode
...an interesting comment made her was "I hope she got what she needed out of that." Ellie did.
For those who truly knows how this actually ends, this scene was definitely the good ending, the best ending, but an unrealistic ending that goes against this whole situation. An episode dedicated to a character who doesn't even comeback in the game yet this touched everyone. Also this was during a time where being publicly gay was still controversial and as good as this game was, one of the very few games that made a powerful gay character. Hands down one of the best episodes on a tv series so far.
Very touching story. I was definitely crying. Hard to believe this is from a video game. I wIsh Bill had made a different choice, but understand the choice he made.
However It would have been fun to watch Ellie annoy him with questions.
Yes. But a thing isn’t beautiful because it lasts. It’s a privilege to be among them. - Vision Age of Ultron
“I really thought in this world that we would only have to worry about infected…but that is not the case!” 😂 Have you not seen literally any other post-apocalyptic show ? - they all follow the same formula - ie there are always two threats (1) the zombies/infected and (2) bad people trying to take stuff from other people.
What happened to episode 2?
Bill was a prepper who lived in his moms basement
Noone commented so I will. Bill wasn't played by Ron Swanson. It's nick offerman
They were together 2007-2023.
Did she watched ep 2
great reaction
16:28 Gay marriage was still illegal in 2003 when the infection hit.
In the game, Bill wasn't as fleshed out like this, so this was really different from the game. Absolutely loved this episode though. Directors said it was good to give the viewers a break from all the trauma in the first 2 episodes.
cute when you got emotional
Where is episode 2? Why no reupload?
your eps 2 is missing. help please?
where is episode 2?
It's no Quentin and Eliot, but it was a nice love story.
I think many of us would like to see you react to
“” Wednesday “””” !!!
This one is a bit controversial among the video game fanbase. They seem to kinda be moving slowly through the plot for as few episodes as there are. Having 90% of an episode be devoted to a flashback for side characters isn't really helping that perception. I won't really mention the details of the differences, in case someone reading this also wants to play the game, but I will say that the game never leaves the core viewpoint of Joel and/or Ellie, so the bulk of this episode is stuff that's, at best, implied.
Good TV? Sure! Good adaptation of the source material? That's a bit more questionable.
As someone who loved both games deeply, I will never understand people who want adaptations to be 1:1 recreations. If I wanted that, I would just replay the game. The show runners not being afraid to deviate if it makes the story better is exactly what I want.
Also, I’ve known for a while that there is unfortunately a loud toxic minority in the TLOU community. Some of the things supposed “fans” were saying about Neil Druckmann after Part II was released were… shocking to say the least, so I wouldn’t really put much stock into what they’re saying.
As you pointed out, this is a story, not a video game. The reason most attempts to do adaptions of video games to movie/tv is because they ignored story for action. I have seen folks complaining that Bill didn't kill more infected and raiders, so they were bored.
Not both games . I will be glad if they change second game Or till will flop just like game
Let me be your Frank
Ive seen lots of hate for this episode but i thought it was brilliant
I agree
this episode is amaazing so yesterday i did edit about them so you all can check it out i would really appreciate it
♡
😢😭😍
you're pretty
🍓😭
The fact that you think that we only need to worry about the Infected tells me you've never watched The Walking Dead. You should watch The Walking Dead.
