Knowing that feeling of waking up and feeling like I just lost my family all over again. This episode was highly triggering. Haven't cried this much in a long time. Pedro is incredible, and the writing doesn't pull any punches.
I think the reason Joel doesn't want to come along is more than just not wanting to be a liability: it's because he knows that if he comes along, he'll continue to bond with Ellie, and continue to care about her more and more. As you mentioned, the panic attacks are signaling that his "Dad Brain" is coming back online - and that means that if he comes along with Ellie, and then she dies, it will DESTROY HIM forever. He barely survived Sarah's death with his sanity (and will to live) intact, after all. And he knows that he can't, CAN'T survive another loss of that magnitude. Given all this, the fact that he ultimately chooses to stick with her anyway (despite the soul-wrecking pain that it risks) is really incredible.
The Native American lady you liked so much was a character in the show Northern Exposure from the early 90’s, she’s fantastic and you’d love her in that show (it’s a fantastic show)
Yes her name is Elaine Miles who played Florence in this episode, and her character in Northern Exposure was Marilyn Whirlwind. (I watched every episode when it was first broadcast.) Also lets not forget Graham Greene who played Marlon in Episide 6 - he is Oneida, and his most well known role is Kicking Bird in Dances With Wolves. He also was in 5 episodes of Northern Exposure as Leonard. He's also going to be in Marvel's "Echo"
I knew Graham Green on sight, and she looked familiar but I didn't realize she was on Northern Exposure!! I used to watch that show when I was a little kid, crazy.
Joel has been trying to keep an emotional distance from Ellie. Unfortunately it's failed and they've grown gradually closer. That confrontation in Ellis "room" needed to happen. It basically tore all or most of the walls down that were still up.
Very true. They both needed to come to terms with how they view each other and their relationship. It was raw and emotional and I almost cried, but you could definitely tell they relaxed around each other after that.
@@madelinegarber7860 this exactly. I’m adoring Bella Ramsey’s performance. I was on the fence because I just didn’t see Ellie when I just looked at her but now she is Ellie. Pedro had the appearance so he had a bit of an advantage lol but that’s not to say he’s been shabby because he was so good in that scene and in this show too. When Joel was crying to Tommy it just hurt so bad to see a man faced with the things Joel has been faced with and he sells it so fucking well. The performances in this show have been so so good
If anyone is curious where they filmed, they filmed in my home province of Alberta in Canada! They filmed in the national park here called banff, Canmore, and two major cities Edmonton (where I’m from) and Calgary! They did a great job with the scouting for sure!!
I just don’t know how it’s possible, shouldn’t Maria be pushing 50? If she was a DA she had to be at least in her mid to late 20’s when the outbreak happened.
Marlon and Florence (the old couple at the beginning) are another iteration of Bill and Frank: to survive the mushroom apocalypse and grow old with your spouse, you need to self-isolate and avoid the rest of the world's population.
Yay! Y'alls reactions is honestly the one I look forward to the most. The friendship between you guys is awesome and has been cheering me up for quite some time. Also, I am so glad this show is good - I was kind of hesitant when I heard it was being made because game-to-movie adaptations have not been the best in the past but it just continues to be incredible in many ways. Excited for season 2!
This show is now the gold standard moving forward that every upcoming adaption is going to be compared against, from God of War to Fallout. I hope the ppl working on those shows are taking notes
@@fundudehere1 The OP is referring to actress Elaine Miles, who played the older woman in the cabin at the beginning of the episode and also was on the show "Northern Exposure". You're referring to Tommy's wife, Maria, who is played by Rutina Wesley. Rutina played Tara on "True Blood".
As someone who has played through the first game more times than I can remember the near perfect replication of the bedroom scene nearly had me balling for like an hour
If Pedro Pascal is not nominated for best actor at every awards show this year WE RAMPAGE!!! 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.😭😭😭😭
From the Interwebs: "On April 27, 1940, Charles S. Jones of Hampton, NH, was watching four friends having batting practice. When the batter fouled off a pitch, the bat broke near the handle. The barrel of the bat struck Jones over the heart, causing almost instant death, a sure case of commotio cordis." - Death at the Ballpark Blog. Have fun at the game, Jay.
The opening scene was great. The cast of reservation dogs talk about how they want to show the world how funny native people are so to make the native actors in this show have funny lines was perfect.
I only now caught how smart it was to use a dog to see if someone's infected. While Fedra's checkers may see an infection in you, they do not guarantee the final result, but the dog does. In the first episode, Adlers' dog sensed it in grandma long before she turned, she sensed it was developing and that she would turn. This dog sensed Ellie would not turn.
@@Momo_0_o True, certainly not in the right mindset to watch the episode, almost felt disrespectful at times, there were enough places to crack a joke or chuckle during the episode but I never expected such a bland reaction to such poignant scenes, specially Jay who is so in touch with his feelings and a soon to be dad...
A bat has shattered in a baseball game and impaled a player before. Back in 2010 Tyler Colvin of the Cubs got hit with a piece while he was running home. Luckily didn't get hurt too badly
Update on the cordyceps my dad is growing in our basement. They're now the size of and look like long cheetos. Maybe Adam can learn to follow in my dads footsteps with his new mushroom kit lol
I'm totally on board with Jay. I try to explain that if I tell one person in a couple something I'm telling both of them. I would never ask for a secret between a couple unless it was time sensitive to a surprise party or a shoezon gift. Otherwise... my better half is gonna know.
As far as the "did cordyceps get into other mammals" question, if they keep to how cordyceps acts in real life, the answer would likely be no, my understanding is each species of cordyceps tends to be tailored to each individual species that's targeted and won't affect others
Thanks, Jay! Thanks, Adam! 🪶 Another solid episode with an effective cliffhanger. I especially loved seeing *Elaine* *Miles* playing a small role; I enjoyed her in over 100 episodes of NORTHERN EXPOSURE (1990). It was just as delightful to see *Rutina* *Wesley* again after enjoying her work in most of TRUE BLOOD (2008), several episodes of HANNIBAL (2015) and a single episode of THE WALKING DEAD (2019). I'm eager to see how they handle upcoming events. ❧ If you're curious about the movie the townsfolk of Jackson City, Wyoming were watching together, it was THE GOODBYE GIRL (1977) and I highly recommend it! #TheLastOfUs #TLOU #TheLastOfUsHBO
The way the writer told us about Joel struggling the more he bonds with Ellie, is amazing. He can't sleep for a while now and tries to avoid it and when he falls asleep, he balmes himself for failing Ellie. He doesn't see himself as a liability, he gets older, but he is still more capable than the average man, he is just afraid to hurt again and he will do anything, make the most stupid decisions, to not feel that way again. The show displays perfectly, what the game struggled with, the biggest factor in Joel's decisions are his trauma. Sure he likes Ellie, but he wouldn't act the way he does, if there wasn't his trauma. His trauma is stronger than the fatherly feeling he has for Ellie. When he waits at the horse for her he even tries to make her say "I go with Tommy" by giving her the choice, he tried to get out. That's really important for what will come.
@23:48 Yes, fans have been hit with broken bats before. The most recent time that I can think of was seven years ago, but since then MLB has added more regulations to ballparks to prevent that from happening. As Adam said, the safety nets have been extended at every ballpark to prevent this from happening. Still to this day, foul balls are very dangerous, and being cautiously aware of where baseballs are going is not a bad sense to have.
In real life, the zombie fungus" infection is VERY specific to a certain species of ants because of what it has to do to the host. So I would think almost all mammals would be safe from the human fungal infection in the timespan of the show/game. That's not to say that another fungal infection can't mutate or evolve to affect other mammals, but not the one the humans have.
@@jenk4545 mycologists would disagree with you. An insect infected by the zombie fungus is infected by a customized subspecies of Ophiocordyceps. So even though it may appear that different insects are infected, it doesn't jump from species to species.
@Sword Monkey Okay so other insects are infected by a different sub species of the fungus, who cares? The point is it's not just one species of insect or arachnid being infected by fungus.
@@jenk4545 Well, the point is (and the spirit of the question they asked about the monkeys and other mammals) was, is the zombie fungus that infected the humans capable of infecting other mammals. The answer to that specifically and factually is no. There would have to be another parallel fungus evolving at the same time to infect each individual species of mammal. So, other mammals are safe from the zombie humans running around and probably why you don't see them getting attacked in an attempt to spread the fungus.
I love Elaine Miles who played the older lady at the beginning of the episode. She seemed like an older version of Marilyn the receptionist in Northern Exposure. She was my favorite character in that series too.
You guys checked the time remaining at the exact same place I did 😂 I was like "How on earth is there this much left?!" I had a bad feeling this entire episode
I'm pretty sure the netting at baseball stadiums is required now -- a girl died a bunch of years ago at a hockey game after being hit by deflected puck, so now netting is mandatory...
I've seen more than a few videos of people in stands doing stellar jobs catching broken and errant bats. It's usually people who don't look alarmed or afraid. It's normally people who move slowly with faces that say, "I got this."
Someone can correct me on this, I’m sure, but I thought in the game you find out through notes/recorders that Firefly researchers experimented on those monkeys with the fungus, and then one got bit! Which caused the whole research operation to go belly up? Am I remembering that wrong?
Some mammals run the same temperature as humans, so those mammals could be infected by the fungus. Dogs and cats run too hot. Monkeys can sometimes be around the same temperature as humans but they mostly run a little hotter. It would depend on the heat tolerance of the cordyceps and the temperature of the individual monkey, I think. Horses usually run only slightly hotter than humans, so it'd be about the same as monkeys. The normal range for horses starts at 99 degrees.
Damn Pedro can act and Bella ain't bad either.......I felt that panic attack. 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱 This show is freakin' awesome. More Pedro on March 1st.....my poor heart. 🤪
@@madelinegarber7860 hmmmm.....the ain'y bad either statement was sarcasm. Bella was fantastic. The two of them are team "perfect". Now we know why they are now so close to each other. Have a great day. 😁👍
This episode had sooo much Part 2/Season 2 set-up. Actually seeing Jackson, instead of just the dam (I have the dance hall scene stored in my brain). Baby Shimmer. The girl staring at Ellie ;)
This episode is getting 1 out of 1 basic first aid errors. You would think that Joel had been stabbed enough times that he knew not to take the weapon out, but noooooo… I think one of the reasons that the animals aren’t getting infected is that the spores were in manufactured food components like flour or sugar. As animals don’t eat as much of those, they don’t reach the threshold for the fungus to take hold. Of course, this might mean that trash scavengers like raccoons and rats might end up getting infected, which is a horrifying prospect in itself 😂
Pedro killed it but really gotta give props to Bella (especially when talking about those she lost) and especially Tommy. His acting is more subtle but very good as well.
Making Joel partially deaf in the show makes way more sense than his super hearing in the games.
I mean, " the super hearing" is a game mechanic in the game. Otherwise casual players would die over and over
I play on the highest difficulty and the game doesn't allow you to do that. That's for noobs who can't Stealth without x Ray vision.

@@madelinegarber7860 hmmmm.....the ain'y bad either statement was sarcasm. Bella was fantastic. The two of them are team "perfect". Now we know why they are now so close to each other.
Have a great day. 😁👍
@@meemee48larue22 Sarcasm doesn''t come across well in text 😂
@@skyofwar123 👍👍
@@meemee48larue22 I figured. But yeah this episode explains a lot. You too!
You need to watch Puss in Boots: The Last Wish - a surprisingly accurate panic attack from Dreamworks.
This episode had sooo much Part 2/Season 2 set-up. Actually seeing Jackson, instead of just the dam (I have the dance hall scene stored in my brain). Baby Shimmer. The girl staring at Ellie ;)
Oh I forgot about sheep farm and astronaut Ellie breadcrumps
This episode is getting 1 out of 1 basic first aid errors. You would think that Joel had been stabbed enough times that he knew not to take the weapon out, but noooooo…
I think one of the reasons that the animals aren’t getting infected is that the spores were in manufactured food components like flour or sugar. As animals don’t eat as much of those, they don’t reach the threshold for the fungus to take hold.
Of course, this might mean that trash scavengers like raccoons and rats might end up getting infected, which is a horrifying prospect in itself 😂
14:13 lol
I feel like they could make a whole prequel series about the 20 year time jump period and what Joel did then
They could, but they shouldnt
Pedro killed it but really gotta give props to Bella (especially when talking about those she lost) and especially Tommy. His acting is more subtle but very good as well.
I think the women in the Beginning was from Northern Exposure.
23:14 That would be an amazing sequence for a Final Destination movie 😂
