I love the characters they're very clearly flawed but that's what makes them feel so human.
Yes! Totally agree. So far, the characters are a 10/10 for us
In a lot of scifi movies, the military are in a rush to bomb everything and the scientists urge caution and understanding.
It's such an interesting reversal to have the scientist say 'you need to bomb the everliving f*k out of everything, right now' and the military to go '... what??'
Right! We don't think anyone's prepared to do that without some head start, unless they are a bit psychopathic
The opening of this episode is so strong. Not the military as one might expect, but a doctor recommending to kill everyone, including her family that lives there.
I would say that's the most unrealistic part of the entire show. A scientist wouldn't suggest an impulsive response like that. She just found out that Cordycepts can infect humans, which according to her lifetime of studies is impossible. A scientist's approach is to do more research on this new development and suggesting containment of the city, instead of straight up bombing (they, the writer, should've learned this procedure from 2020 Pandeemic). If they wanted to do a dramatic reaction, a simple answer "I don't know" while she's shaken would suffice...it would show a moment of hesitation from her instead of following protocols. There was a doctor's reaction to this episode who also agreed with the argument I just wrote.
@@TARS20 Of course a longer detailed scientific segment can be asked for but the suggestion was very valid.
@@TARS20 yeah it's a TV show but I'm not a scientist so roll with it if you wish
Scientist were saying way back in the 60s that we lose... So current day ones i could certainly see saying bomb everything..had no progress been made .....which it never is.. money only gets spent on shit that is irrelevant and foreign policy bs... This for me is uber realistic...
@@martinmillar7137 but that is inaccurate. HIV was a threat back in the 80s, nowadays it's not a death sentence. Leukemia survivability chance now. Look at what people did with covid. Scientist's mindset isn't giving up at the first obstacle, otherwise they wouldn't be a scientist. The way they handled the cold opening was just clumsy. Sure, some things need to not make sense for the narrative, but the least they could do was make it as accurate as possible, starting for the mycologist's response, I mean, they went as far as eliminating spores as a way of transmission to tendrils, which does not make sense for Cordycepts, btw, but they needed to make the scenario as realistic as possible.
Communication between fungi through the soil did not happen before because there needs to be contact between the fungus/host and the mycelium, and some information must be passed on, which in this case was that the host died.
It's not just the host dying anywhere.
As that host died in an area where there were exposed mycelia, there was this communication.
In real life this happens too, and there are huge colonies of fungi that intertwine beneath the earth, they communicate with electrical impulses.
Hope they don't evolve wifi. :p
Jokes aside this made total sense how they physically connect, also counter balanced the fact the made this show that the spores aren't spreading alarming rate in air and infect,no gas masks, etc.
Ohh that's so cool! And kinda scary haha let's hope nothing like that happens again in the future
The introductory segments are so good. When the episode opened on Jakarta, I was like "No! I want more of Joel and Ellie!" and then five minutes later I was like "NOOO! I want more of Ibu Ratna!" The actor, Christine Hakim, is apparently a major figure in Indonesian cinema. I can see why. Her reaction when she realized there was no stopping the outbreak was fantastic.
By the way, did you notice that when she cut into the victim's bite wound, there was a thick layer of mycelium under the skin? Ewww. Keep an eye out for that in future episodes.
I would say that's the most unrealistic part of the entire show. A scientist wouldn't suggest an impulsive response like that. She just found out that Cordycepts can infect humans, which according to her lifetime of studies is impossible.

Ohh we didn't notice the mycelium! We thought that was just inflamed. That's so gross 🤢
The fungus growing out of the clickers face (the blind ones) work as armor so it takes more than one shot to kill shooting it in the face
Ohhh that's so cool and so disturbing at the same time 😨
i love the pianist frog!she is the real star of the show! 😅but seriously, the post-apocalyptic landscape is very well done! the last time I saw one this good was in the Revolution series.
That frog had its moment of fame at least lol
Totally! It's so well done.
Revolution series is GREAT.
@@general-cromwell6639 "- I'm a patriot!".creepy!
10:15 I have no extra knowledge, but I don't believe Sarah was infected.She never came close to any infected, and didn't (potential spoiler about cause of initial outbreak withheld) either.
For me, what makes this extra tragic, is that I think her shooting was a misunderstanding. Joel told the soldier that Sarah was injured, but he didn't elaborate that she broke her ankle in a car crash. So the soldier reported "she's injured" up the chain, and the higher-ups interpreted it as "she has been bitten," and then ordered the soldier to shoot. The soldier seemed surprised by the order and asked for confirmation, so I don't think it was a standing order to shoot civilians on sight.
I also believe that Joel has come to the same conclusion in the meantime, and probably blames himself for the misunderstanding, adding to his trauma.
While I agree it wasnt a standing order, I think it morphed into it over that evening after the chaos in the city
Totally agree! When they knew she was injured, it was over 😔
We do believe she suspected she was infected and that made us suspect as well. We'll never know 😭
This is the first time I heard this perspective. But she was not infected. Yes it could be argued since for the people who think outside of the box can easily draw conclusions that she may have been infected. But she showed no signs. Example the kid in her class was infected the hand twitches the reason they showed the dates and times in the first episode is to show you when the virus finally taking over. And clearly she nor her father or uncle showed symptoms. She died because of the hurt ankle and the army wasn’t going to take chances since they did not develop the scanner
Right! And it was just a twisted ankle but Joel didn't specify 😣
RIP tess ❤
25:13 "except, my boyfriend is a zombie."
I'm so sorry to hear that. You should dump his undead ass.
Lol 🤣
I'm proud of Shuni, collecting her bravery. Her reaction is so entertaining to see. Adorable but also kinda rad that she carries on.
But i also see she is so invested in the story, don't only "suffers",
these scenarious make such a huge dramatic weight and "realism" to these story we get more invested then just regular stories.
Everything more believeable, every choice feels more critical, stakes are real not weightless "we just flow with the story".
They know how to get us hooked.
And what is important these aren't scary jumpscare nor use gore just to have them just to shock but real story reasons for them, tools unlike cheap horror movies.
Lol she can't believe she's watching it, but glad she's overcoming that fear. She's probably able to do it because the story is sooo good and so we'll written that it's worth it haha
The crazy thing about clickers to see by making clicking sound then listen is real, few blind man can do it. It is called echolocation.
They know roughly their surrounding
That's is freaking terrifying.
Those blind ones dont die easy even in the head, because the fungus protect the brain.
That's cool and also freaking terrifying 🙃
It actually has a realistic basis
Fungi cell walls are composed of chitin - crab and lobster shells are also made of the same material.
Engineers at the University of Houston are using chitin and 3D printing techniques to produce high-impact multilayered coatings that can protect soldiers against bullets, lasers, toxic gas, and other dangers.
I think I agree with you Lucy. As sad as it was for Joel to lose his daughter that way, I think it would have been more painful for him if he lost her to the fungus. She could’ve been by the infected or if he would have had to kill her himself because she was infected. Well ladies great reaction again! 😊
Right? In the end, it was for the best, but it would have been awesome if both of them survived 🥺
Thank you again for supporting ❤️ You're awesome
Joels daughter wasnt infected.... just a heart breaking scene
Yeah, we noticed later that that avoided the contaminated ingredients all day during outbreak.
It can be argued either way whether Sarah was infected, and her seeming worried about it was put in that for that exact reason. Fungi are terrifying in that no apparent direct contact still wouldn't mean she wasn't in danger because being near it might be enough if other conditions align.
Right! Her fear made us think she could be infected as well, but it's very realistic how she thought she could be. Very well done.
She was not infected. People got infected in two ways: They were bitten by an infected, or they ate something made from contaminated flour. She was never bitten, and you will note that they never ate anything made with flour. She avoided the cookies, the pancakes, the cake he was supposed to buy.
@@Trouble10 That's also purposefully put in there, but it's not to say "they definitely without a doubt escaped infection this many times" but rather to show how hard it was to stay clear. We don't know all the ways that it happened, we just know what little info Joel could gather, but for the whole world to get infected there would need to be other ways as not all grain supply intersects and not every piece of land is connected even through airways.
Then there's the fact that the spreading was much easier to explain in the game. The change in how the infection spreads might have made it too convoluted.
@@douglas2938 Yes, the other way was being bitten by an infected. The flour mill in Indonesia was the biggest in the world. Even if that only resulted in 10% of the world getting infected, it increases exponentially as those people spread it. This is why they were able to establish quarantine zones, because after the initial infections it was all spread by infected people.
My guess always was right after the hotel "not too deep water" scene when they separate then Tess was bit, NOT later when the clickers came. Could be wrong and don't matter, just it would explain her facial expression as she joins them. And as Joel asks What she won't answer. That would explain how it spreaded when she shows it, not because they travelled long after the clickers but she got bit sooner so it had more time. And of course she was determined to get Ellie through any obstacles, only made it more noticeable as she felt it getting worse so get more tense about it.
The only reason I would disagree is because we know the area of her bite is a 5-15 minute to full infection. They still had a bit of a walk to get to the final destination. And when she finally reveals the bite, it's just starting to spread out. It had to have happened with the clickers (in my humble, of course lol)
Interesting theory! But we believe her expression when she came back was mora like, there is no way through here and we'll have to take the scary path. But it could be like you said.
Sarah was not infected. Both Joel and Sarah both avoided eating infected food throughout the entire day.
I think it’s likelier that Sarah would have simply become estranged from Joel, over the coarse of 20 years of trauma and survival. But that would have been a much less interesting story.
Right, because the cookies she made with the neighbors had raisins and she wanted chocochips. She probably didn't eat them 🤔
i know you clearly expressed zombie movies are not your thing. But might I recommend a movie worth the watch if you have not already watched it, "Train to Busan"
That's the second recommendation of that movie so far, so it might become a reality 😭😖
Something someone mentioned, check out the Revolution series...an outstanding awesome series.
All the best.
Cheers.
Thank you so much for the recommendation! We'll check it out 🤗
🍄
😆
Yeah Zombies are scary but I think in the Walking Dead people were scarier. People will do some really nasty stuff to survive.
Thank goodness we haven't watched The Walking Dead, we would be terrified the entire time haha
Joel and ellie is the greatest story ever told... Imo tlou gets a lot of hate unjustified imo these two are warriors of the human condition .. not everyone is atuned...which boyhers me because its simple as fuck ❤
They make really good partners, so we are kinda excited about this adventure, but scared mostly tho haha
Maybe leave the discussion for after and not in the middle. I know i'm not the only one to mention this.
Can I pay y'all to react to Train to Busan??? :)
Poor Shuni. :D
I mean.. you can but does it have zombies?!? 😖
@@NerdishReact It... definitely does. But it all takes place during the day if that makes it better. :P
I feel like it doesn't make it better, you just see them more lool
01:00 AM again for me. can't join during the week at that time 😉
my chat posts would be:
"this episode also starts with some background story the games didn't offer. great additions 👍"
"bomb ... ... bomb that *shady sands* to the ground "
Was it a bomb in Shady Sands? Was it? A nuclear explosion where a nuclear scientists desperately tries to start a experiemental cold fusion reactor without proper equipment, resources, 200+ years later? I mean it could have been a bomb... or... and Moldaver would totally still blame Vault Tec for her failure for sure.... (i love making theories :) )
Don't worry about not being on the premiere, we're happy to know you'd like to be and to read your comment ❤️
And we believe it was true that Vault tech bombed Shady Sands, Henry admitted everything with his silence 😔
Honestly, this episode is where I am bothered with, specifically the cold opening bit when Ibu Ratna called to bomb the cities...this isn't how any scientist would have responded. I cringed on this part because it felt ridiculous.
tell me then how do you stop it? You cannot. You can slow it down by radical things like bombing, to give other cities, locations more time. If you try to just blockade a swarm will easily break out. You need to lower their number to be able to have any kind of quarantine. And what she also realises (that later was told) it wasn't a car factory. It was a grain factory. That shipped it's product long ago to everywhere. You cannot contain it.
Of course this answer was a very short one without details, but i had no issue with it, it went for the shock factor. But it was a viable, understandable action.
@@MolnarG007 have a look at our pandemic situation...also watch some doctor's reaction for this episode, there's one famous one, I forgot his name who said, that's not how they (medical experts) would react to the situation. There's no guaranteed success of a containment, but one should try anyway...again, remember Wuhan case.
How would I react as a scientist?
1. I would be shocked... devastated, but this situation is a new development to my lifetime of study (mycology). How would I approach it? An evolution of a study subject means there are a lot of doors open for further study. I would have to do more research of the subject to determine whether or not a vaccine or a cure is possible. Remember, Cancer, AIDS had no cure...yet scientists are still studying to find it.
2. Containment. Mobilise the military and form a blockade of ground zero and surrounding areas. No exit, no entry. Determine the radius of contaminants' travel by time of the first contamination. Since Indonesia is an archipelago country, it's easier to stop the spread, but grounding all air and sea travel.
3. Only resort to bombing once the containment attempt failed within Jakarta.
@@MolnarG007as for the shipping, it's rather easy to track. Shipping outside the country takes long as they only ship these grains through a shipping container. Which means you can still contact the ship and halt its delivery. Remember, the event of the infection happened not that long before Ibu Ratna was contacted. Let's say, within 3-4 days, since the infection takes less than 24hrs through digestion.
The biggest problem would be local shipping, but again, as I said, track down the shipping destinations and ground all travels... it's an archipelago country.
However, that wouldn't make much of the Story of course, because they really need a worldwide outbreak to progress the story the way it is. Still, the reaction isn't a scientist's reaction (ask any scientist near you), they wouldn't resort to the bombing as first action...at best they'd be shocked and don't know what to do, so a simple "I don't know" as an answer would suffice to display a shocking factor.
joel died
