Ooh, Daddy. What did you think? Yeah, I really enjoyed it. I mean, it definitely was a little bit of a slow burn at the beginning in terms of Riley and Ellie when they were starting off their journey. And they were being extremely loud, I thought, when they were supposed to be extremely silent. But no one's... They're like jumping rooftops and talking very loudly. But aside from that nitpick I had, once they got into the mall area,

like, you know, I like some of the changes that they made from the game, like actually seeing them get to play the video games and some of the stuff. And then some of the expansions that they made, you know, from the game, I thought were really well done. If you guys haven't played the game, it's a DLC, it's a DLC, yeah, left behind. But it's 100% important for the complete package. It's not just like extra fun adventure for you. like it definitely there's a reason they made sure to adapt it yeah and also to the location where

joel is when she's having this flashback memory like they're in a mall at uh or it's i don't know if they're in a mall but they're right near where the university of eastern colorado they were not in a house when she's having this flashback so that was a different that was that was a different yeah it was a mall too well i mean beyond that it's they the fun the thing about it though is for most of the dLC you are doing what they're doing yeah you're not actually like killing infected or anything you're just doing the actual shit here yeah yeah i was just talking about the location with uh joel nelly but i think the thing i love so much about that d lc in this is there's dramatic irony you know we is you know we is we as an audience

we we know like what's going to happen because it's a flashback whereas the characters don't but it's still it's very effective and i think that's where dramatic irony like is can be very effective and i just think it was written so well in the game and it's really done well and executed here and i thought that actress that they got who played riley i'm sorry that i don't know her name right now she did a fantastic job i mean the way like after they they got bitten and you know the way how she was really emoting and you could see her crying like i mean i really felt that so much so it was great i mean the game she was definitely obviously she was really sad and emotional too in that in those moments but i really felt it a lot too uh here and i love so many

the the easter eggs and stuff that obviously when we get to paul's video and to the The theory time and spoiler talk, we'll get into a lot of the stuff that I want to talk about more in depth that I'm not going to. But overall, it was a pretty good episode. I wouldn't call it one of my favorite episodes, I would say more in the mid-tier or such. But aside from, again, some nitpicky stuff I had, I enjoyed it. I thought, you know, the relationship between Ellie and Riley was pretty well fleshed out. Again, you can't make it obviously as long as it was in the DLC. But given the time frame that we did have, I thought it was pretty effective for the most part.

and you know i thought it was pretty good what about you yeah i thought it was pretty good too um i think there's a lot to that this is funny enough you know um this is one of the harder one most i can do is just be honest this is one of the harder ones for me to not compare to the game only because it's really short in the game like comparatively speaking it's like you can like complete it like an hour and a half like it's not that long um specifically the Riley part, the flashback, because in the game, she's looking for supplies for Joel and having a deal with Raiders and hunters and stuff, but, and some infected as well. But the stuff that just focuses solely on Riley, like, that's, that's pretty short. And so this was the one where I did find

myself, like, really impressed with a lot of how they brought it to life. And so even when I say compare, I don't even mean that in a negative context. It's just, there's a lot where you're like, oh, wow, that, that is what impresses me the most. is when they do dramatic scenes like when they are sitting down together and they're talking about their two options and wow this is crazy they are nailing the emotion the tears everything and it's so much like the game and so you have this thought process going off where uh well at least for me when i'm watching it like wow that is so much like what i played and and so i'm more amazed and sometimes I'm not as

and this can be the and I know I'm not the only one I know this is not I know some people have played the game and they can easily just get completely wrapped up in it and still be so emotionally enthralled with just what the emotion of what the episode is trying to do I can sometimes be in the other side of the camp of people who played the game where I am

I have an awareness going on of do you know what I mean? Like you have that awareness of that is like the game and you're watching it so there's i'm like 70% emotion and 30% i'm aware of i'm seeing i'm also seen the cut scene in the game when i'm watching it you know and uh as i'd love to be the just a complete opposite camp but you know it's just a reality of the situation so i thought they did a an excellent job with adapting it they got all the the the essentials now what i thought that they did

i was really neat on a structure level is because yeah they did this get past a bunch in the game that's really that would have been great to bring in the life 100,000 percent but for the choice to save uh joel and and like as a season structure i am get it a really clicker to with me by the very end of it because you see joel lose a daughter and in the last episode he was dealing with the fact that he feel like he would be essentially a handicap a detriment to le being able to survive and make the ultimate journey to become the vaccine right and then you You see them have Henry and Sam, and that shit goes wrong. She even tries to save Sam, but can't.

So she fails there. And then you get this moment with Riley, this whole flashback, where she, you know, like, they've both lost, they have both lost their loves, both of them. And Joel is now going to be saved by his daughter, his new daughter, his surrogate daughter, and Ellie is going to save, is the next person that she loves who is Joel. and I think structurally, because it's essentially what the left behind thing is doing in the DLC, but for a tight 50-minute episode, I actually think structuring it this way was great

because you experience this loss, but there's also this hopeful catharsis that you get when she does end up saving him at the end with doing the stitching and then him making the choice too, like, yes, I will live on, I will carry on. I like that Joel made that choice along with her. Like, let me have a shot at doing it.

You know what I mean? Definitely. Well, I mean, obviously, too, there's a major change because in the game, he's, I mean, he's kind of conscious, but he's basically unconscious for the whole time. So I thought that was an interesting choice, but, you know, emot- They're also in the snow and shit freezing their asses. Yeah, yeah, but I actually, I didn't mind the change where they had him basically, again, just echoing your sentiments, what you just said, I like that because, you know, there is that emotional gun punch that you feel when he does. like, yes, I want to, I want to survive. I want to fight on, like, because from that moment he had at the beginning of the episode where he's like, like, get away from me, I'm a detriment to you, like, I failed you, like, and then, you know, that moment that he has, it's kind of like a mini-arch in the episode for Joel, so I- Yeah, he finds a reason, he's kind of just going around

aimlessly, and then he finds a reason to live. Yeah, no, I just, that's why I love the change. Like, it's a good payoff to the change, I think, in that moment at the end, like, when you hear Greg and I like it's give that awe when they're holding hands like that's that payoff for me of why they made that change I'm like okay that's I'm glad they made that for sure yeah I love the parallel of you have the hold handing with Riley where they are saying goodbye to each other because they both believe they're going to die yeah and then you have a different one where they get to live and yeah I think you know from the gamer perspective of bringing the mall to life and

everything was awesome and and and uh the what is I want to know her name. I think she's the one who plays the sister in Zendaya's sister in that famous show that I've seen all of Euphoria. I think that's her. But I do want to know her name. It's bothering me. I feel like I would know it. It's not Storm Reed.

That's a completely different actress. No. I'm thinking of someone else. It is Storm Reed. Oh, okay. You had it. Who plays? Oh, no, no.

That other girl plays Storm and X-Men Apocalypse. That's right. My mind was getting confused there. All right, yeah. I figured it out. Also, too, I thought they had really good chemistry. They did. Her and belly. Just so everyone knows, does he keep calling her belly?

Yes, I've explained this a thousand times. Bella Ramsey is playing Ellie. You combine the two, you get belly. Okay? Belly, belly. Makes sense. But I thought they had really good chemistry. And there were a couple times in the DLC that they had some disagreements,

but here it got elevated to a totally different level. like where she really storms off and then you know comes back so i was like wow they uh really like took that to another level in terms of like them having a major disagreement and ellie just being sorry belly being so so hurt over you know uh riley just going leaving uh i think she said she was going to atlanta the alana kuzi just being so devastated that you know this her best friend and also someone who she obviously is very affectionate towards is leaving her and like they really i mean obviously it was a big deal in the dlc but it's just it's played a lot more harder here and i like that they expanded a lot more on that in again this 50 minute time span so i thought they uh really again just

it really felt a lot more emotionally gut wrenching in terms of when ellie stormed off and then she had to come back i mean how did you feel about that how do i feel about that just about them like expanding, like, them arguing a little bit more and her being a little more, again, I wouldn't say she's more devastated, but just them bickering and arguing a little bit more than I felt like they did in the DLC. I mean, did you feel that way, or do you feel I'm going on?

No, no, no, I think they changed the, I think they changed the context around a little bit here. They didn't have anything with the pipe bomb. Is it pipe bomb? Yeah, I don't remember any of that in the DLC. They didn't have any of that, and they drive home further and this whole thing, too, with they gave me

sewage work. Yes. yes like they they flesh out some other elements where you see the divide in the path more clear and I know I did I think for the episode it totally works especially when you're trying to condense down the TLC what like this feels like the shorter film version of that you know and so I think when you are trying to condense that down you do need some some more moments because it's a little bit more subtle in the buildup to it what you're trying to say no no no no i'll keep going but it's a little more subtle on the buildup to it because they're trying to um because like in the game you're you are seeing her

you're like what what's probably up to like why does she want to do this why does she want to do this and ellie's onto her the whole time but it takes a while for her to reveal it and and so it's i feel like it's more solemn in the game you know what i mean there's it's kind of it's kind of got this resonating sadness throughout in the DLC you know where here you are watching it unfold and when they do escalate into that blowout it was it was it was good and it was effective to me um because yeah you do kind of i think when you're when you're playing when you're playing the game it has this interesting effect where you are just having fun for a very very very long time. You are like

clicking the buttons for the photo booth and going on the merry-go-round and the water the super-soakers and then when they're going through the book it's like you ask like a gazillion questions and then in the Halloween store you're playing with that one item the was like around the Halloween store yeah or talks back or what is that? Oh the skullhead

yes and it's like the eight ball where you would ask questions yes that's what it was yeah that's I'm trying to remember what it was so you're in it for such a long time but you're in the back of your head you're going doesn't riley die is this where she dies and yeah the arcade scene i actually kind of prefer in the game the arcade scene oh with the with the turning where it didn't work and she imagined it right where she closed her eyes yeah because you are building the you are building their connection throughout and it i felt like they really build that emotion where here due to the fact that you they just probably have no choice but to like pair it down like

you just got to pair it down and it has it has some different scenes in here that i think are very you know wait for john and terror so that way they've never played the game so they're not going to be doing any of this comparison shit but yeah for for this particular episode i thought that when it did get to that moment i found it to be i don't know i wasn't as like super I'm trying to think if I was, like, super impacted by it. But I, I didn't really notice as much as you did. Like, you seem like you really took note of it. And I'm like, I feel like I've been searching for words.

But at the end of the day, I'm like, I was just didn't really take much notice of it because I'm like, it's a show. I was curious to see if they were actually. I didn't think they were, but I was kind of curious just because there have been changes here and their expansions. I was kind of curious if they were going to show Riley actually turn. And then, like, does Ellie have to kill it? Like, what did happen? because I don't know like I never read like I know you know in Wikipedia or whatever they always have like oh this is what happens to a character when they don't show stuff on screen but I was kind of wondering like what did happen after Riley turned in like did Ellie have to kill her did the fireflies have to kill like what happened I was always curious about that so I thought maybe they were going to show that but either way it's it doesn't impact like my enjoyment of this but I did thought it was a very interesting addition showing Ellie in military training and federal training rather because obviously in the game we'd only been

that had only been a thing that had been talked about, never shown. So again, getting another expansion of the video game. I thought that was interesting, just seeing... A tease of her rising to leadership. Yeah, oh, that too, of course. But I just thought that was, again,

just seeing what she has to deal with on a daily basis where... I wouldn't say bullying, but again, just like... I mean, would you call that bullying? Because, I mean, the girl was just really getting on her more because she wasn't, like, hitting her laps and they had to do double time because of her and all that.

But either way, she had to deal with some form of abuse, and she was kind of feeling lonely without Riley. So, you know, I thought, again, just even though we're obviously beyond emotionally connected to belly at this point, just, again, just adding another sense of why she doesn't want to end up alone. And I just thought, again, just a really important expansion showing that. And I thought it was interesting to just circling back to when, you know, because obviously Greg and I and all of you who have played the games.

You know when, you know, after they had been bitten, she gives, well, the way I see is we got two options. We can either take the easy way out or what the second option that she said, we can go crazy with each other, whatever it was. I thought that was interesting. Go crazy with each other. Yeah, exactly. I thought that was interesting were Captain Kwan or what, you know, the Fedra guy that he was talking. He gave that, he just gave the two options. He just gave the two options too.

I was thinking that in the back of my mind when he said that. But again, I just, I thought that was really interesting. again the expansion of something that was just talked about in the video games and then shown like Ellie in Fedra training so I'm glad that they showed that well they've fleshed out more what the

the war between Fedra and Fireflies and the political angles there and choosing choosing the sides here because yeah that's not it's really not you know back to that DLC it's really not about any of that

it's more the fact that Riley is going to be leaving is the sad part for it but ellie doesn't seem super perturbed by the fact that it's the fire flies you know well in the video game she knows marlene like they have a history with each other whereas here she has no idea who marlin is because we obviously in the first episode we saw their first scene together yeah them meeting each other rather their introduction to each other so there's a different dynamic because she really is under the belief that the fireflies are you know this evil propaganda machine so it's it adds a different interesting dynamic you know in a controversy between the two of them you know a political dynamic if you will i thought their

chemistry was great i thought bellie uh absolutely what does that mean explain in the comments i thought belly absolutely killed it i thought she was great she she felt she does have this sometimes she does have that bell around sometimes does have this uncanny ability to with her delivery where I'm like sounds just like there are moments and I did like seeing

the pain and the horror that comes with when she is when she is bit because she's no idea that she's immune you know it's like they feel like

their lives are about to end it's it's such a mean sometimes the world the last of us can't be very mean it is I remember when I played the DLZ and then the way the kiss went down and was like

don't go kisses okay like she agrees not to go then and then the second half but i remember like crying when i'm playing the game like at that moment because i got hit with they're about to kill her off her like they're just about it's such a mean like the shit with henry and sam yeah and that's what i mean by dramatic irony like we as the audience we know what's about to happen whereas the characters don't but it's still like it's so effective yeah the the world of last of us and neil drunkman and company often have a habit of going There are choices to make with this show

Sometimes they're like How can we make this sadder Make Sam Def Like they just drive it home Even harsher every time And yeah I do I've always found I've always found it a little funny

How mean the last of us Can actually go out of their way To go all right But right when that comes around Then They're gonna die And it was good And the choice to make it one

Is it a stalker yeah it was a stocker it was a stocker to make it not a clicker make it one stalker versus a hoard that you have to escape through uh i thought especially if you haven't played the game does make it more effective because i mean demonstrates how hard one person is yeah and this episode in particular made me go god that makeup must be taking fucking forever oh yeah um so that one side but you know especially if you haven't played the game you i think it's easier to get more hopeful that everything might have turned out all right even though you're where you're watching

a flashback and the fact that Riley died in the first episode yeah of course and also too i mean they they uh they they showed us the hoard already you know and what was it two episodes ago so i was not expecting to see another i was expecting maybe to see one or two at most in this but i got to imagine too with the amount of viewership that they've gotten in this season that you know, possibly next season, which is not going to be controversial at all, that there's going to be, I would imagine that there's going to be a little bit more ramped up in terms of the action when it comes to the infected. But again, the show's not about the infected.

It's just, it's, it's, it's a part issue. Yeah, it's, they're in the background. Obviously, if you add, if you add that in there, great. I mean, you're going to, you're going to get a lot of people extra excited about those action sequences, of course. But, I mean, this makes sense in the, in the, in the, in the, in the, TV show this makes sense to just have one stalker like it's totally totally understandable to have one yeah i can't quite put my i think the only thing i can do that it can be very honest about and it's just this sad unfortunate reality of it is i i can't quite put my finger on what did not necessarily

fully work for me about this episode and the sad part is is that it feel like it's mainly because any time I have a criticism that's actually popping in my noggin, I'm trying to do the mental work of, yeah, but is it just because I'm comparing it to what the game did? Because it's especially harder when it's so much like the game. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then it could feel like a very,

because for the most part, it felt like a shorter version of the DLC. That's what it mainly felt like. So in my head, with a video game, which the DLC had played on a, on a PS5 with like beautiful graphics and everything. I feel like I've seen a more fleshed out version already.

And this seems like the shorter version to me, like a remake of it. So I find my mind going, I thought the game did it better because I got to spend more time and everything. And so I have to like check my noggin on it. And I don't know, I know other people,

I've definitely talked with plenty of other people who have gone through it. I know plenty of other people who've played it who haven't gone through it. So it's kind of weird, to do a reaction and then be like I feel like I have criticisms but I'm not I'm doubting my criticism so much because I feel

like it's only because I played a video game and I'm like I really this is the first episode out of them all where I I'm super questionable about would I feel any of these things that felt like

rushed to me if I hadn't played the game you know no it's understandable do you get where I'm coming from on that I get totally where you're I'm really doubting, like, I don't know if I should, like, I don't even know if any of this is, like, valid criticism in my own head, because I, I feel like I'm just comparing it to the extended version that I thought did it better. Yeah, no, I mean, I don't, I mean, time comparison-wise, it's hard to compare, so, but I get where you're coming from.

Like I said, for me, not doing the game comparison stuff, just my little nitpicky stuff. There were a couple times where at the beginning, when they're getting to the mall, again there was some of the dialogue I really enjoyed but it was just it was dragging a little bit for me personally you know if it didn't for you great I just I thought it dragged just a little bit and again me being the nitpicker I am I thought they were being way too loud and it's got to pull you out of the reality of situation yeah they're supposed it's two or three in the morning and she's a firefly and they're sneaking around in a fedra territory yeah so I mean the whole point is literally to be as silent as possible. And again, obviously, we need to hear the dialogue, but I'm not saying they need to whisper talk like this. But, I mean, in a volume that's a little more reasonable than this, you know, like, it's not a big deal that we're talking so loud. Like, we're not sneak. Just stuff like that. But, I mean, again, I hear what you're saying.

I get it. But. Do you have any of that issue at all? Do you struggle with that at all at all? I mean, there's times where it's like I talk to other people who do as well, but I notice you don't ever seem like you do. I mean, there's times, but I always say this, look, I got my video game version. I love what they're doing. Sure, sure.

It's not as long as the game, and they can't copy it, you know, beat for beat, shot for shot, everything. So it's hard to make a full-on, like, it's got to be the exact same thing. But it's, I get where you're coming from. It's called The Last of Us. It's the same character. So I get why, like, in the back of your head, like, it was done and executed. Like, this was fleshed out longer. So I get why I'm going to.

my brain is just i'm trying not to make a comparison to what i'm so used to seeing and so used to playing it's like the length of things you know like when they like when they when they when the scene like the scene the reason that the book scene um like when the when the book pop the the the pun book pops up and here why it's so awesome for for people at the game is because of a very memorable scene in the dLC and like that to like that to like the that scene has so much emotion and all they're doing is laughing and criticizing the puns and stuff but it's such an impactful scene for some reason in the game it's so impactful that you really do feel like you're lost on a night on the town yeah where here the i didn't ever truly

get lost in uh in a mood for the night you know yeah and that's the that was the part of it that i felt like uh because it's the whole thing like i want to show you a good time but you were suspecting something else and they constantly had this like melancholic undertone and here it I felt like it was like a big because I don't know I can't I don't know how to formulate it's it's no I get what you're saying but it's it's hard to explain but I think the people who played the video game like understand what you're saying too but I think for me the biggest disappointment I have from this episode is the pun that they didn't use what did the cannibal get when he was late to the party cold shoulder That's the one I was most disappointed that they missed. But no, dude, I truly get what you're coming from. Like, of course, your brain is just naturally used to, we've played the game so many times. So, look, and the same thing happens for me, and I try and check myself out.

Like, when it comes to the MCU versus, have you watched Earth's Mighty's Heroes yet? I know you started it, but have you helped. Okay, well. Start reading the comics instead. Oh, okay. I mean, again, I think Earth's, Mightiest Heroes is miles above the MCU, but MCU is still phenomenal. And I just, at some points, I just, I check myself out and go, you know what,

MCU does a good job of its own thing. So I just got to check myself out here and just say, hey, this is a good thing here, too. And I still got Myr's Mightyest Heroes, so that's a great thing, too. So, but I get what you're saying. It's totally understandable. It's not you doing it on purpose. It's just your brain is so used to, from the game version. So it's understandable.

Yeah, because I don't even miss the stuff. of like i i think it's awesome when ellie's in the mall and and having to look for her she's just trying to find like a freaking first aid kid and and it's it's an adventure and she's really badass and it's a struggle it's a lot and it's it's the most exciting part of the gameplay because you're because that's when you're actually dealing with scary that shit the whole time right it's really and i can imagine there's a part of the audience who's like i oh man they totally skipped over that And to me, that doesn't even bother me that they skipped over that. It's more when I'm watching something where, like, most of this is pretty much scene for scene.

But I'm aware of, I'm aware of the fact that, yeah, it's more of the tone that's missing for me. Not really the placement. There is that, like, the part where I thought it was most captured was on the merry-go round. Yeah. Like, that's kind of the underlying mood of the entire thing. thing. That was perfect. Yeah, I agree with you. On the flip side of that, there are times in moments where I'm like, oh my God, I'm glad they added that. Or there was a time like, oh, definitely.

That was actually, well, that was better. That was actually better than the game. So, like, yeah, there can be, you know, flip effect to that as well. Like, you know, in the first episode, I love that whole moment where they're explaining what the quartercepts, you know, brain infection can be the foreshadowed. Like, that was great. Obviously not in the video game. The second episode, just where, you know, the woman is studying and what it is and, like, bomb the whole stuff. Like, that's not, like, like, lots of stuff like that that's not, like, again, it works both ways. So I get totally what you're saying. And, you know, there are times where my, my brain is thinking that, like, it's not the game. But, yeah, it, I just check myself out when that

happens. And I'm just, I think, I still think this is one of, if not the best video game adaptation. Oh, dude, I still really like the episode. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. We're just, we're trying to find nitpicky things in a pretty damn perfect show. Yeah. Like, no slides of the actresses all. They're amazing. They're absolutely amazing. And I like the structure of it. And it was the

I mean, come on, we're seven episodes in and we've obvious, I would still give the show like a 99%. Yeah, and I think also too, what Greg's trying to correlate as well is like, as a writer, it's not easy. Like for someone, like even Neil Druckman, who's the creator, and you know, this is his baby. One and two. And even

Craig, Matt Mason. Right, Craig Mason. It's not easy to condense something down, like, to, you know, from an hour and a half in the video game DLC to, like, 45, 50 minutes into a TV show and, like, hit the same, you know, effect level, like, as it was. But they get pretty damn close. So, you know, you give them credit where credits do. So, but I totally feel where you're coming from for sure. I mean, they deal with time jumps here in an interesting way is because they cut in the house. And it did make me question, like, how come no one's, like, trying to.

chase after them. I'm not even doing like a game comparison. I feel like they could have, based off the way the last episode ended. Well, I thought with the whole blood being all over the... They left a trail of blood. I know, that's what I mean. I feel like they could have... I feel like, because they only took...

Because only one person attacked right in the last episode. Yeah, because the other... But they had several other people. I'm like, what was their mode of transportation? They can't chase after them? Yeah. Or are they just camped out there at the university? Right.

so that's like an actual like question in my head of like how come none of them are chasing after them um yeah like i know some game shit obviously coming up whatever but but i'm but i'm saying even it like like we're moving the game i found myself question like no one's chasing them this is kind of weird that no one's chasing them right now um which the dLC does actually fill in because of the game itself too they yeah they do cut two they they just hit out there um but they they do fill that in the DLC of them chasing, but it does make me, oh, like, logically, you'd think some of them would be chasing them right now, right? So, yeah, all right. Overall, I, honestly, all things said, I would still give this, like, at least an eight out of ten. Like, I, I know, I know it sounds like

I had a major qualm with it, but like I said, I'm, I'm really like, no, I mean, what they brought to life, they did really well. I just, I, I feel like they, there's, this is great. I just think there's a, this episode made me hyper aware there's a much, greater version of this in my living room waiting to be played and that was basically that where but no other episode really uh kind of evoked that for me so it at a sudden you hate it yeah yeah and i might have put a little i'm really looking forward to this episode in particular too and uh maybe there was a bit of over expectation yeah of delivering like just uh that drama down because yeah like the like the mood of there's a reason i prefer the whole thing whether they're

where it's like just imagine it with the arcade game the turning yeah yeah like that that that enhances the romance between them you know you say fatalities don't enhance the romance come on fatalities do you know how many people have bonded over fatalities yeah in the arcade i like when they had more time to like simmer in their in their romantic connection because that kind of just builds in the game you know yeah i think there's something there it just keeps getting bigger and bigger yeah and i think it the crescendo to the kiss is is much more felt than in here so could have just said that 15 minutes ago and i think i would have easily uh alleviated my what i was trying to say all righty guys well leader the thoughts down below subscribe leave a like
