Starting point is 00:01:02 Oh, wow, that is pace so well, though. Radio. So listen, we're going to have to do this review a little different. We decided very early on that we're going to need a spoiler section. all right we just we just need one because there's especially some implementation they had in this episode and i'm like i just i have to talk so we're going to not go into spoilers right now uh but we'll just stick to here however there's going to be some stuff that talks about the future specifically regarding uh the second game that i think is would be good to touch on but um i i thought
Starting point is 00:01:55 this was an excellent episode i really did. I thought it was excellent, you know, like there are, I don't want to spend too much time backtracking to some other episodes. This did that thing, though, where, yeah, they did cut out some stuff that would have been cool to bring to the big screen, but they also added in a lot of things and expanded upon that I thought made it for taking this section of the game that is very, like, obviously they have to condense it down, but it didn't feel rushed to me or like a short film version i thought it was a perfectly packaged you know uh piece that they had to do in order to tell this chapter which i think is really integral to the development of
Starting point is 00:02:40 ellie uh especially because of just the the depth she has to ultimately go to in order to survive you know like you she is a survivor like anyone else but this is the first time where you see her unleash unleash a violent side of herself that you never get to see prior. You know, like you get the sense that maybe she ended up killing Riley after Riley turned.
Starting point is 00:03:07 You know, in this show, she hasn't killed any humans yet, right? Am I right about that? I think she shot a few people, but like actually hand-to-hand combat, I believe this is her first one. Yeah, this is, because this is like brutal. She killed two people in this episode. You know, she shot a few people. people yeah yeah and you watch like sort of this this morphing process and also would joel having a rescue her like this is a real pivotal turning point for both of these characters and you can just
Starting point is 00:03:38 sort of see it in the emotions and i thought they did an excellent job on bringing that to life uh i thought it was like yeah david's great and all uh well i do want to talk more about him i was really impressed with the way this episode was paced because it starts off at like really deliberate and it the pace just kept ramping up and and kept going and going and going and then
Starting point is 00:04:02 the way they handled especially the reveal of David like what I thought was cool about because if you guys haven't played the game when they introduced him they introduce him when Ellie's about to grab the deer that's the first introduction and it's immediately kind of I don't know about
Starting point is 00:04:18 this guy you know but then some stuff happens in the game that they do not have here that makes you go oh maybe he's actually an all right guy and then you find out no he's not an all right guy so i thought they had the a neat effect here where when they introduce him you're like oh he's a he's a caretaker he loves his people he's there's something warm about him it's a family man so when she when you when they meet ellie you're like no no no this is one of the good guys you know of course I've played the game, but in the context here, I imagine if I hadn't played the game, but, no, he's one of the good guys. It's one of the all right guys. Come on. And then they slowly start to peel aback. Yeah. Like, oh, never mind. Oh, never mind. Oh, wow. Really, never mind. This guy snapped in the apocalypse. You know. And I thought they did a really excellent job where a lot of the tone was driven by the drive to save Ellie, the drive to protect Joel. And of course, the...
Starting point is 00:05:20 the, like, I don't even call it transformation, more of the unveiling of David. I thought it was instrumented, like, very, very well. So, yeah, but Andrew, you didn't get your scene that you wanted himself. Oh, yeah, yeah, well, we'll talk about that in a sec. I did think, again, as you just mentioned, this episode was extremely well-paced, minus the scene I didn't want. Bastards, Andrew. Yeah, but again, you know what, even though I was definitely, I was disappointed by that, that there have been other, I mean, you made a great point that the stuff that they did include did make up for it, although I really still were, like, the reason I think that scene is so pivotal, important, at least for me. Yes, I get it in the game. It was an action sequence, so you're in control, so it's like important. But I also feel it's just so important because it shows that Ellie is just, obviously, yes, we get to see Ellie, you know, later on in this episode where she survives on her own and she does take care of David, of course. I mean, we get that in the game as well. But just seeing her fend off for her.
Starting point is 00:06:20 self on her own when you know a bunch of infected are coming after like seeing that side of ellie it's just it's i don't know it just for me it was it was just such an important and integral part of the game and for ellie's character just flushing her out more and i was a little bit sad not to see it i i i get why they didn't put it in although i again i wish like even five minute sequence of of that action sequence would have made me even happy but again you can't get everything but you know the thing that this show has not just this episode but this whole show even though there have been action sequences that to my sadness have not been included the characters have been absolutely i mean we talked about this before off camera the character the characters have just been
Starting point is 00:07:01 nailed perfectly for the most part just across the board absolutely nailed and if i had to choose one thing i have the action sequences on my video game whenever i want so i know i can always go to that would it be cool to see visually of course i do i wish they were here absolutely but if you if i had to pick what you were going to nail on an on-screen adaptation. I would choose the characters because I do have that action sequence and I can play it at home. So I'm glad that they are nailing the character-wise. Maybe, hey, maybe season two. We will get some more action sequences that we didn't get here. You never know. But again, I did make me feel a little better when you mentioned. Yeah, that's true. We did get some inclusions that we didn't get in the game that make up for not getting that
Starting point is 00:07:43 action sequence. And there were some stuff that they had in there like the Ellie, you know, tell them that Ellie is a little girl that broke your finger. Like, I'm I'm so glad they kept that in there, and I loved Belly's delivery in that moment. It was, it nailed the tone of what Ashley Johnson was going to. We got Troy Baker, of course. I really like that actor a lot that they got for David. I really feel like he just nailed the mannerisms and the tone and that, that's slimy yet. He feels almost like a good guy till until the reveal kind of happens of David,
Starting point is 00:08:12 that Nolan North really encompassed in the video game. Just really solid job by that. I realize Nolan North played him. Yeah. I didn't realize that. Yeah, it was Nolan North. That naughty doghouse, man. Yeah, no, so I thought that actor really nailed it.
Starting point is 00:08:27 Again, very, very well-paced episode. Some really cool action sequences that we did get that carried on from the game. Overall, yeah, really good episode. I love the locations. I love that they actually went on, you know, location to film in some of these in Colorado. Where did they film in Vancouver, I believe? Oh, man, it looks like Colorado. look like color i think it was vancouver
Starting point is 00:08:50 wherever it was i'm glad they got to go in the cinematography on the show is so top notch um i think my my two favorite moments though of this episode were when ellie was kind of like you know holding joel in the bed like just saying with them like just it was such a yeah tender and such a bonding
Starting point is 00:09:07 moment just i don't maybe that happened in the game i'd have to yeah yeah either way i love that and then one of my favorite moments in the game that pedro pascoe just absolutely nailed the line where he calls her baby girl like that's really yeah we've had moments of building and fleshing out of like yes i'm accepting this this girl as my surrogate daughter from just the
Starting point is 00:09:27 scenes where he's been so protective of her but actually hearing him call her baby girl like yeah that it just it's such a such a deep and amazing like moment the delivery by patro pascal i just it's one of my favorite moments in the game when joel is so accepting yet yes i can do the protective stuff but actually calling her and like being accepting that this is my daughter now like i'm ready to to face that that fact like i just loved in again pedro pascal i just loved it and of course the interrogation scene like absolutely perfection with that scene like that was so brick and perfect i mean pedro pascal like you talk about belly getting nominated which i agree she just she absolutely deserves it he better get freaking nominated for for this show like his performance i think he's
Starting point is 00:10:15 security not like i think he has he's so good like i i feel like patro pascal is going to this this might sound weird i don't ever put out a prediction like this i think he's going to win sexiest man alive in 2023 like he has to right it's just like there's like a renaissance happening with this guy he's definitely the daddy of the year yeah he got gregu he got shelly i mean he's he's awesome yeah but and then also too in regards to ellie like seeing what happens to her character seeing the transformation she's like she basically you know when when david violates her like that and she she really to me she loses a piece of her soul and a piece of her innocence and it's just interesting seeing that transformation how we see it in the game and how you know bella ramsie was able
Starting point is 00:11:01 to really show that the the facial expressions and like i could really feel like that like watching her on screen like just where you feel a piece of her soul is gone like that innocence is gone and you see that rage carryover which we're going to talk about a little when we get to the spoiler section how that rage carries on over and so it's just yeah no it's a it's a really tender and crazy moment for the character that she has to go through i mean yeah david is a i just think david is in the game and especially here too it's just such a well-written villain yeah he is i think ellie in that scene is like reborn in fire you know yeah and they they they do an excellent job which demonstrate like the this chapter is so important because this is the
Starting point is 00:11:45 this is when you see Joel really like get ugly he gets ugly and ruthless and then you see Ellie having to do that as well in order to survive you know they there comes an understanding between the two of them and I think when you talk about action scenes not being included there the element that I think would help would have helped aid this is the part is like I don't it's not just that I want more gameplay see I really don't ever think about that too much. Like, I was, I was okay with missing it. However, it, the one part of this world that I think could use a little, like, going
Starting point is 00:12:30 in the season two that could help aid it is, you know, in the game, when you're walking around, it's always scary because you just never know, like, what the hell? There's something might be at any corner. Like, you just never know. and here I never really get the sense that we're ever in danger of infected being around
Starting point is 00:12:51 it's like you kind of always know you're kind of always when infected are going to show up you're aware like okay this is an infected scene that's about to happen as opposed to feeling like a constant looming threat
Starting point is 00:13:03 in any direction you know and that that was the sequence that they that they X out of this this episode so I do I do think that that is an element to the world of the last of us that ought to be. So it's not really so much about I want action scenes or anything. It's really I want that threat feeling.
Starting point is 00:13:22 I want that threat kind of permeating throughout the experience. Yeah. Also the fact to, yes, we know David is a pedophile and, you know, like he wants Ellie around to be like his pet. And we get that. And I understand. But I just felt like too in the game in that action sequence. Like that whole action sequence just did a good job of being. building like why David wants her around like after seeing what he can do exactly that was that
Starting point is 00:13:46 i gave me i get a beginning because i did have that thought um where like the part where i would agree with having that action scene is because when david's like i see this in you did it i'm like you guys like you just had a conversation yeah yeah and yes like while while there is you know a much more disgusting uh quality to david uh a much more deviant side to david you you do get why he would think that that other you get why he would also buy into the other stuff he's not just saying it to take advantage of her yeah there's also this side where he can't see it because
Starting point is 00:14:24 he saw the kind of war but then again like with the game the sequence of events plays that a little different because like they do the three month time like Joel's is it three months like Joel was fall to winter so Joel's been healing for a long time yes right and we did the winter no no we we started winter a little bit earlier on the show whereas in winter like it literally starts right where the rabbit is and the bone arrow that's literally where it starts we got
Starting point is 00:14:52 our winter jump after henry and sam correct so a little bit earlier on the show and we get but in the game you get the winter jump uh after joel and leave tommy and the and jackson after they leave there is that no no no excuse me after he gets injured sorry sorry so yeah he's he's been in the game he's been healing up for a few months yeah and that's how i was able worse here it's like i don't know this just all occur within a few days right like that that's it's so within that you get ellie who's been hunting and providing for them so she's developed skills and whatnot to to be able to survive on her own and hunt down prey so like that quality to building her up i think i think when it comes to season two we're going to just do a big time jump like yeah like that
Starting point is 00:15:41 like following the second game of how things progress. But anyway, yeah, I'm trying to watch my words. Yeah, but also, too, if you notice, like, right when the episode started and we hadn't even seen David, I said, is he a pasture? Or, like, I was thinking, the reason I said that is because I'm sure many of you noticed in the video game, I'm not sure if you did, that action sequence that I was really sad and that we didn't get to see when they're warding off all the clickers and the infected and, of course, the bloater, David does say, like, he makes like a kind of a prayer.
Starting point is 00:16:10 did you ever you ever notice that or hear that or no because i i'd always know yeah like off to the side it's not like a very focal point but off to the side he kind of makes like a prayer and i was always i always think in my head whenever i'd see him doing that because i'd always notice i'm like yeah was he a priest was he a pasture like he's very like i feel like there's something religious here so that's why in the beginning i was like i wonder if they're going to go that route and then when i heard that was like oh that's why i was thinking that so i was glad that they did expand upon that from the game i had a feeling we were possibly going to go there But also, too, I remember that line in the game where he said, oh, we're all starving women, children.
Starting point is 00:16:46 I always thought that was kind of a lying line that he was just trying to get Ellie's trust. So actually seeing it here, like, I mean, yeah, he was trying to get her trust, but it's like, no, yeah, actually we're women and children who were starving. So it was like there was, I mean, kind of humanized. And I know we were kind of making a joke, we're humanizing the cannibals now, too. Like, we've got to humanize everyone. Well, they do specify that not everyone here is aware of what they're consuming. I think, you know, Troy Baker brought a lot to this role. Yeah, he was great as James.
Starting point is 00:17:16 I thought he brought so, you could feel like the history in his eyes and these little exchanges of being, like, yeah, David's my leader, but there's so much parts in the exchanges. Like they have that thing where he calls him out for being doubtful. And you could see that he, he doubts the way the leadership has progressed in the path they've had to go down. He's even like, there's even this, this hardened. part of himself when it comes to his time to eat the food. Oh, yeah. No, that body language, yeah, for sure. Where he doesn't want to do it, but he's like, this is my life
Starting point is 00:17:47 man. You know, and I, there is a, there's a level of, there's a big level of gravitas to what he bring, the pathos is more of the word I would say for what Troy Baker brought to this specific portrayal. I'm like, damn, there's a, he really really brought, he's not just here for like a cammy.
Starting point is 00:18:05 Like, this is a real role. Yeah. He's embodied. No, he's great. I mean, yeah, yeah, You said that there was that one line or so where it kind of sounded like the Joel voice was coming out a little bit. But no, I agree with you. And if I didn't know what was going to happen because I remember what happened to his character James
Starting point is 00:18:19 in the video game, which I knew it was going to happen here with Ellie taking the butcher knife to his neck after tricking them that she's been infected. I really thought, too, they did a good job of setting up the audience who had not played the game of kind of like, yeah, he's losing faith in David. Like, there's a good chance David might execute him at some point, too. Like, they were really doing a good job
Starting point is 00:18:37 of like setting that up for the audience who has not played the video games. I mean, even though I knew those kind of, I was like, I almost feel like they might stray away from the game and go that route just because of how much, like, he's calling him, kind of calling him out and just lost faith in him.
Starting point is 00:18:50 And, like, David can't show weakness and leadership. So I just, I thought that was interesting that they were doing that. I really think they did a great job on slowly pulling back the layers of David. Yes. I thought that was, like, the actor, too, was perfectly in sync with the script.
Starting point is 00:19:06 Yeah. And the direction of knowing, of how much more of his evil has to be unveiled per scene. I can see the complaints now, though, about him right now on the internet, if there are any. He doesn't look like David from the video game. I don't know, no, I don't. So a white guy. They still got a white guy.
Starting point is 00:19:26 Yeah, exactly. No, I mean, I personally, like I said, he nailed the mannerisms of, and he sounded very similar to Nolan North. And again, I just love how they peeled black and flesh the character out, even more expanded upon the character. is the word and I love how they again expanded upon just the whole town as a whole and just showed David as a leader I just thought all that stuff was really it was very meticulous and very interesting
Starting point is 00:19:48 well the the way they also unveil the way he deals with his own faith of it's a manipulation tactic and he's really succumbed to the worship of the cordyceps yes as that is his new deity I thought that was a really fascinating later
Starting point is 00:20:04 that was this apocalyptic worship you know that was a crazy inclusion and like i i'm surprised we don't have anything like that in the game like there's not of both games there's nothing about that in the in either of the games well they i mean neil drunkman has always said if we can improve upon anything from the game i mean if we're going to if we stay faithful the game we're going to stay faithful to the game but if we there's something we can't improve upon we're going to do it whether it's faithful or not so no i definitely i i'm i'm glad they've adopted adapted to that method like the cordyceps are our new
Starting point is 00:20:39 lords you know it's interesting yeah yeah it's it's a fascinating version of being an apostle in this situation yeah oh yeah yeah yeah exactly yeah obviously no no one who hasn't played uh yes we'll understand that but yes i agree with you but guys um yeah we're got to talk about some spoilery stuff right now so if you haven't played thank you for being here by sure uh if if you if you if you don't want to hear anything about what more than likely will come up uh then because i i think when playing this game before i go to spoilers but i think when playing this section when i when i there's choices in the second game that very much upset the audience i wonder what you're talking And when I played the second game for the first time, when those choices first presented themselves, like, I love the second game.
Starting point is 00:21:29 I prefer it over the first. But when those choices first presented themselves, I remember being upset. However, when I replayed both the first game and the second game, like pretty much right away, it was this chapter that made me go, oh, no, wait, this flows really well now into the second game. like i'm not upset at all by the choice because this chapter really sets that up and then this episode made it even more of a setup that i went oh what an interesting way to condense it down instead of a bunch of hunters he kills to just one guy so that's what i'm going to talk about here so i would click off right now uh if you made this far but yeah um for those who've played the the second game or at least are aware of what happens in it is that
Starting point is 00:22:21 that Joel is killed by Abby. And why is because, without going into every single detail, Abby's father was murdered by Joel. Dr. Jerry Anderson. And now here, they're bringing that over here in a way that is like a setup for what is to come. Because when I played the game, when you get to this section and you get all these people
Starting point is 00:22:49 who are hunting down Joel, they want Joel's head it was already to me telegraphing that oh people are coming for Joel and Joel's going to die like the first game was already saying that to us and then you get to the second game you're like well there it is people came for Joel and then they made it even more more on the nose here by going this girl's dad was killed by Joel we got to find this guy and kill him it is massive foreshadowing oh for for the second game that i think because it's going to be hard for people to swallow that who are not familiar with the game it's going to be really like people who are familiar
Starting point is 00:23:32 game can already have it there's already enough people have hard time with it you know i've also been reading so many comments too that saying they better change up what they did in the second game like they're not like they're not look how faithful this season has been like dude you're not yeah you're not kidding what you want sorry no jol's die yeah thousand percent yeah he i mean Abby's going to get a Joel in one. We already know that. So, I mean, you know, no, I agree with you. They clearly foreshadowed that here. I mean, I was thinking that right when we mentioned that it was her dad. I was in my head. I was just going at this is total Abby foreshadowing. So, I mean, yeah, it does show that, I mean, if you remember to, to that game, for anyone who played or watched
Starting point is 00:24:12 the gameplay of what happens, you know, Joel says to her, like, why don't you save whatever speech you got or whatever he says like he knows there are consequences to what he's done like he knows his life is over in the moment like and jol's accepting of that you know obviously didn't want him to die but he's accepting like hey i know i've heard a lot of people in the past obviously it's you know defending himself or surviving or whatever the case may be but he knows he has killed a lot of people and those people have families so again he's very accepting of the fact that hey uh this is clearly someone i've hurt in the past someone is related to someone don't know exactly who but my life is over it is it sucks but it is what it is yeah no but i mean again they
Starting point is 00:24:55 did a good job of foreshadowing that here so that even the people who are not going to be happy with that can understand like hey it sucks what's going to happen but you understand like even though it was clearly obviously self-defense and what happens here what happens in the game again people who are here you already you already know what happened it wasn't self-defense in regard to when he kills Dr. Jerry Anderson. That particular case was not self-defense. Whether Abby was prone to know if that was self-defense, I mean, it's really, it doesn't matter at that point. All she knows is her dad's dead, and she just wants the guy who killed her. She's bent on revenge. So, I mean, we go from that stage. But in regards to this one, again, whether it's self-defense
Starting point is 00:25:36 or not, it doesn't matter. You know, you are affecting other people's lives when you kill someone and they've got a family member. And so, again, they did, like you said, they did a great job before shathing that, setting that up. Whether people are going to like that or not, it, you know, it's, I don't think it matters. What just matters is that it's executed properly. And, you know, I think we're all going to be heartbroken and sad when that, when that comes.
Starting point is 00:25:58 I am curious, though, obviously we know it's going to happen in season two. How early are you going to do that in season two? I hope it's the opening scene. First scene. At first scene, I don't know. They just cut to Joel's head. But really, I mean, because a lot of these, I mean, the first couple of episodes, of this season were really freaking long, which I loved.
Starting point is 00:26:18 So I'm wondering, like, maybe episode three, maybe episode. I don't know. I mean, I'm very curious to see how they're going to do it. Because, again, like we've talked about Last of Us part two is like five times longer than the first game. So you were able to do the first game in nine episodes. I don't know if they're going to have to split it up in a couple of seasons when we get to season two or you're going to have to do 18 episodes.
Starting point is 00:26:42 I'm very curious how they're going to do. all that because you are not doing season two in nine episodes like that's just in my opinion that's just not happening not at not the length of episodes that we're getting here in my opinion i mean what are your thought do you think they're they're able to be able to do season two in nine episodes i think they can do it in five i think all you got when i said that i knew who's coming with a i got to do is uh focus on abbey i don't care to see lbby's story just take it all from abbey's respect. But again, like I was talking about too, like seeing the loss of
Starting point is 00:27:15 Ellie's innocence and her soul, basically. I mean, you said being reborn and fire and all that, which I agree with. A lot of that rage carries over into the second game. So again, you talk about the foreshadowing what happened with, you know, the... It's a very important chapter. Yeah, no, I mean, like, but that's the thing, like, when
Starting point is 00:27:31 I just went straight into the second game, I'm like, where's all this pent-up energy coming from with Ellie? And then when I replayed both the first and the second game back-to-back, I'm like, ah, okay. okay, this chapter is just so integral and like where that violence and that rage just comes from
Starting point is 00:27:47 and it's a freaking David like got it out of her. So, yeah, no, I think part two is just, I mean, it's a great game on its own, but it just goes so much better when you play it immediately after the first game. It does. That's how I recommend for people to play it. Like, skip the first game. Just go right now.

Starting point is 00:28:49 My father's, but... Wow, that's awesome to know. He's also a firefighter, and he's got, like, a hot wife and a really cool kid. So what a lot of people don't know about Lance, though, is that actually, and I've got to be very careful of my words here. he's not a very interesting man he's actually quite dull
Starting point is 00:29:14 the reason why his woman loves him so much let's just say he's got a really big fire hose you know what I mean I understood that reference and uh he sent me photos now normally I tell followers maybe you shouldn't be sending me photos
Starting point is 00:29:37 photos of those things because it's inappropriate but boy did I keep asking for more from Lance and he kept delivering the goods sometimes in a actual fire situation
Starting point is 00:29:55 they don't even use what's on the fire truck when they're not able to access a fire hydrant they call upon Lance and he just unzips and does his thing. He has saved many lives with that fire hose of his. So he sent you the fire hose.
Starting point is 00:30:21 How about the axe, his helmet? Any pictures of those as well? Are we talking about the same thing? Are you talking about an actual axe at a helmet? Or do you mean a photo of his big axe? Whichever one you want to use your imagination. for yeah he sent me a photo of an actual axe it was really cool it was really sharp and made of uh it was red full of and it's super sharp and uh the helmet as well he sent me a physical one
Starting point is 00:30:48 but the fire hose i'm talking about is pah ah that's what i thought no lance is a great guy there's more to him than his fire hose i just want to know if the line from batman forever was true when he said to dr chase meridian try fireman lest to take off just want to know if that line That's true.
