The way that the Infected came charging out of the hole was incredible. And RIP to Sam and Henry, wish they both didn't death like that.
I love the way this show chooses to thread story lines across episodes to show the story from different perspectives. This show is doing very well, so much so I'm enjoying the human interaction more than the mushroom men, although they are wonderfully visualised and very terrifying. And that ending. Christ
I'm kinda puzzled how they're gonna fit the rest if the game in 4 episodes? Meeting his brother, the injury, the time jump, David and the whole hospital conclusion... feel like it'll be a tight squeeze.
Couldn't agree more!
@@burner9481 there is gonna be a second season. Maybe some of it will be in the 2nd season.
This is by far my favorite episode so far.
BTW, Henry and Sam were brothers, not father and son.
Did they even watch the episode?🤣 wtf hahaha
@@jimboG100 they did but they probably keep talking over the important dialogue they have to listen to.
@@238Brotherhoodreactors have to for copyright so it happens
Biologically, they were brothers. But Henry was raising Sam, so they were adoptive father and son
This series is really turning Bill and Frank’s relationship from episode 3 into the gold standard for a happy life in this apocalyptic world. If anyone had doubted Bill’s choice, these last two episodes seem to be wiping those doubts away. Big time.
Did you know the little girl who got in the car is actually a little 9year old!!! No CGI!!! Another amazing episode boys 😊🤍
I'm so glad both of you are watching this. The back and forth is great. "What are they gonna do?" "I DONT KNOW" hahaha
This episode gave me serious WW2 vibes. The informers. The hiding in the attic. It was very reminiscent of the Nazi regime allegorically.
16:58 In case you’re wondering, that big guy is a bloater. They’ve been infected for a very long time.
All of the actors in the episode were amazing. But especially the young actors! Bella (Ellie), Keivonn (Sam), and Skye (the child clicker). Bravo to all of them. They are all very talented. 💜
Such a horrifying and devastating episode. I felt low for a while after watching! It makes sense that Joel became so hardened. Just burying people over and over again.
My favorite thing about this episode is:
Shaun: "What are they going to do?"
Tom: "I DON'T KNOW, SHAUN! I DON'T KNOW!" lol
But yeah, Tom. These episodes get me emotional too. I call this phenomenon "not being able to get over episode 3 masterpiece". The acting is amazing and I think Melanie (Kathleen's actress) wanted us to feel angry at her but her reasoning was so believable. the good thing about The Last of US is that you can't find villains or good guys. Joel's killed a lot of people and innocent ones too. It all comes down to perspective and who you believe in the most.
When the Bloater came out, all I can think "Yessss!!!!! But it took me 5x to kill the first one with all I had in my inventory.....you're not killing that thing with a machine gun" 🤣
The narrative of the game by Neil Druckman is already a great storytelling, and then enter Craig Mazin and both made a phenomenal TV adaptation. This is how a storytelling should be, show and don't tell, let the audiences interprete it, have a discussion about it, even arguments over it. The best thing about this story (TLoU) in my opinion is how they have a pretty good understanding in human psychology and emotions because those are the most complex things you can write about and quite often is difficult to translate into a show.
9:57 Tom: "I like this guy (Henry) I hope they join them." 😳 Well that didn't age well. 🤣😝 You guys are awesome, I love watching your reactions.
This part in the game was devastating! Poor Sam is such a sweet kid.
Henry was finished after he shot his little brother, he was never going to be able to live with himself after that. Kathleen showed that even someone who you think would be sympathetic and caring coukd turn into someone full of hatred depending in what their circumstances were, this world is brutal
I know nothing about the game. I just know the end of this episode devastated me just as much as when Sophia came walking out of that barn😭😭😭 Henry and Sam were only on screen for this one episode but it hurt me so bad to see them die.
Can u believe this was the kid’s first acting role and he is emmy nominated??
What do you suppose Joel would do to Henry if he did to Tommy what he did to Kathleen's brother? You know the answer. Would you think of Joel the same way you seem to think of Kathleen? Important question, & the whole point of the games/show.
Exactly. Everyone is getting too focused on her appearance and voice to fully grasp that she's just another example of how love isn't always a beautiful thing and in fact can be the most dangerous feeling in the world.
Film recommendation:
Evolution (2001)
Criminally underrated film. I think it gets unfairly dismissed because of the dated CGI.
It's been described as "Ghostbusters with aliens." The cast is great. The writing and comedy are great.
The music is brilliant and makes you feel like you're on an adventure.
This show has a way of just hurting you. It gives hope then shreds it in front of you. And then you feel hopeless and empty. Insane.
I personally liked the character of Kathleen. The actress, Melanie Lynskey spoke about her role via Twitter and I thought it was a cool take. I'd recommend giving it a look, particularly the people critical of her performance.
Thank you. I have watched you both react to other movies before Last of Us and I am glad you are still doing reactions. So many others have gone back to other activities after the end of quarantine.
A couple of points for you -
The actor Pedro Pascal who plays Joel is 180.34 cm (5'11") not super tall. Bella Ramsey who plays Ellie is 155 cm (5'1").
The actor who plays Sam, Keivonn Woodward, is 9 and he is actually deaf. The story behind the episode is very interesting if you listen to the show's podcast.
7:35: “Right?” “That’s right.”
“That’s a weird fucking tone, man!”
I found that Henry/Joel exchange hilarious.
another fine touch she show did was accurately and properly showcase "shock" bc my man was shook when him and joel burst in the room to find ellie is under attack. His gears were turning, but he couldn't process.
The guy that plays Kathleen's right-hand man provided the voice (and character model I guess) for Tommy, Joel's brother, in the game.
“I CAN’T EVEN!”
Back at you James
I have not played the game, it’s all new to me.
This episode! Joel starts to thaw…but this is a prime example of why he doesn’t…..he lost his daughter….he loses friends……
Very emotional episode, I almost bawled my eyes out when Ellie tried to use her blood to heal Sam. Imagine, just as kids, they were scare and they will try to do things to fix the problem, the innocence of that scene is so sad.
By the way, Henry and Sam were brothers, not father and son.
First of all, Shaun you chose to read my comment so it's not me spoiling the thing in the ground for you, it was you spoiling it to yourself by reading my comment and then digging through your memory for the answer. :D
I think Tom's comment in the beginning about how emotional he gets about this show could be explained by the fact that he's a dad now. Because this show, while it's wrapped into this sort of infected/zombie cover, is actually about humans and about parenthood. Of course it would hit Tom differently now?
I loved this episode's action a lot. It was so well done. I also enjoyed the Henry and Sam storyline a lot, and I get why they chose to make it so different from the game, too. It serves a much bigger purpose here, especially when it's added to the Kathleen storyline. There are so many little speeches and things that revolve around the same theme, echoing one another perfectly in this episode. Such a great one again!
Also, the acting. Whoa boy. Everyone is just so good. Oh and this was the first role of the little boy playing Sam, can you belive?
Nice to see a natural reaction and not forcing tears for clicks like so many other reaction channels 🤣
Yes, there is a lot of performing for the camera with other reactors.
awesome the volume from one episode to the next changes...
Maybe I’m overthinking, but maybe Ellie isn’t the only one that’s immune, if you remember the boy in the first episode that joel throws on the fire, he was infected, but was acting perfectly normal and somehow survived by himself in the outside? Maybe I’m overthinking
He was bit on his wrist. The chart had the anatomy of a human and how long they last is dependent on where they're bitten. The closer to the brain, the quicker death is. The boy had an open wound like Sam. He wasn't scarring like Ellie. And he should of been since he must of walked a long time.
@@phoenixrising8231 His bite mark was on his leg - near his knee, if I recall correctly, and since we only see the wound through a hole in his jeans, we can't see if he's scarring or not. The FEDRA poster listed the time to full infection from the leg & foot as between 12 - 24 hours.
@@-just-so- I believe the cop lifted up his sleeve. That's was the first clear look we had of him being strapped into the wheel chair. He was limping as he walked though.
@@phoenixrising8231 The kid was in a t-shirt, short sleeves. The wound is just above his knee: i.imgur.com/e5Dmi8A.png
Henry and Sam are actually brothers;) always enjoy watching with you guys. cheers from Canada !!!
Sam wasn't Henry's son, he was his brother.
Have you guys seen the british 5 part drama ‘it’s a sin’? It follows a group of young gay friends in 80s london and coming to terms with hiv. Its written by russel t davies and was absolutely brilliant! Very funny and of course very sad. Its a must watch
I know it’s England but either get a tan or paint the wall. U blend right into it
" you always think kids are safe" lol. That's just what Sarah was thinking
Joel’s reaction to Henry being a collaborator is out of line since he was working with fedra agent for pills
Them: I like this guy. I hope he joins them.
Me: Oh, Neptune...
Sam's death had much more weight to me in the show because he was younger than Sam in the game. The actor who played Sam did a great job -- so did the actor who played Henry. I really got to like them in such a short time. Even knowing the outcome, it hit really hard when it happened.
Have you noticed that you only see real shown brutality here when Ellie sees it? That was the moment when Joel beat Fedra to death in episode 1, Ellie was there. All other kills by Joel were not shown explicitly. Ellie tortures and kills the walker in the basement, it has been shown. All the violence on the battlefield in this episode has been shown. Joel's sniper kills too. The Brothers deads it's been shown. Ellie was there. All other deaths not, instead you only saw Ellie and heard the appropriate sounds to the death scenes.
Ellie and Joel switch sides at the end. That was the Tess moment from episode 2. Ellie runs ahead while Joel is still waiting at the grave. Tess gave Joel a mission he wanted to fulfill as her last wish.
The relationship that Joel had with Tess was similar to Ellie and Sam. Ellie promised (unspoken with hope) Sam the cure here and couldn't keep this promise. She now wants to make sure that this never happens again. As Tess said at the time "save who you can save".
Ellie really has a mission now. Indirectly get through her feelings of guilt. She wants her blood to work. Before that, she was someone who had no control over anything. Others have determined where she grows up and where she has to go now. "I didn't ask for this" were her words in episode 2.
Now that has changed. Now conviction plays a role and she takes control. She wants to save the world so that there are no more Sam's. And while Joel gradually finds his humanity again and lets people into his life again, Ellie loses a little more of herself and she takes the lead here in the end.
I think the series showed that more clearly in this way than the game did.
In addition, Ellie and Joel have reached a new level of connection with each other. Wordless understanding. Both wanted to save the brothers during the attack. That wasn't Joel's "don't do it Ellie" look. That was the look "I'll give you fire protection Ellie". And Ellie has absolute confidence in Joel.
There was also a little joke about the game. The moment when the sniper shot and Henry and Sam senselessly ran out of cover, only to return immediately. This is how Ellie behaved very often in the game. She ran out of cover, right in front of the enemy and then back again.
Spoiler Part 2 Game:
Oh yes and btw we all hate Kathleen for what she does. She subordinates everything to her revenge. How do we know this? Part 2. There are 2 main characters we all love does nothing else.
I was Shaun watching this episode. I think I almost passed out from not breathing. 😂
I liked Lynskey and her character Kathleen in the show because she is not one you see as the typical villain. But everyone can change into one regarding the circumstances, and that shows it clearly. But I still wasn't convinced by her because her story wasn't really fleshed out enough. HOW did she (and her people) overthrow FEDRA? I see cruelty and ruthlessness in her but not necessarily a strategic mastermind. I wish they would have told more about how she became their real leader.
I also love how the titles match the theme of the episodes. "Endure and Survive." Joel, Ellie, Henry and Sam had to endure the hard trek facing the rebels and the infected horde and survived through it, but then Joel and Ellie had to endure yet another lost and go on their own to survive. This tagline from the Savage Starlight comics fully captures the theme for the whole story of The Last of Us. Truly a devastating episode and awesome reaction from you both. Cheers!
TLOU has only good episodes so far. And the acting is amazing! The whimpered scream Ellie let's out when Henry shots himself after shooting his brother is visceral and so real, great acting by Bella. Also, yes those big ones are called bloaters and killed Perry (also, og voice actor of Tommy in the game, apparently) the same way they kill you in the game. Also, I think Ellie trying to help Sam can be seen different ways, but imagining what everyone told her since she was bitten, her being the cure, her age and all that, it could very well be that she thought and at least really hoped that her blood would help him. It's so sad, but also I thought it was amazing showing us that it does not work just like that, bc they never did in the game, if I remember correctly. Lastly, just to reiterate: Sam isn't Henry's son, but his little brother. Loved your reactions and am looking forward to the next!
Tom: I like him, I hope they join them
Me, having played the game:
(-̩̩̩-̩̩̩-̩̩̩-̩̩̩-̩̩̩___-̩̩̩-̩̩̩-̩̩̩-̩̩̩-̩̩̩) Me too man...me too. Maybe .. they .. 😣 willl
I like that Joel is out of breath all the time, he's 56 and its been a rough 20 years.
Sam was Henry’s brother
Bloomer haha. A bloomer loaf of bread got infected, and over 20 years grew to be massive
they let the audience off the hook a little bit making kathleen unlikable with her entitled ego trip at the end.
if they'd just made her heartbroken and grieving set on avenging her brother by killing Henry....
then it would have been much tougher for the audience.
It was pretty genius of them to do the little subtle changes they did with the story in this episode because it is going to connect even better to this season’s ending and the overall theme of the next season.
Hardhome mixed with a dash of Battle of the Bastards
Who is the bastards
This was the first point in the game that I cried, so I knew this would be rough with how the emotion had been ramped up in the show through the storytelling and acting. And, yup, I was an absolute mess.
here's the brutal shocking kill y'all were waiting for 😭
dudes, Henry was Sam's older brother you kept saying "father/son"
“Get ready to relax” - said no one approaching a tunnel, ever.
Great episode, emotionally draining. I wish the would change some storylines, as it’s frustrating to get great characters, to kill them off in one episode. The casting and acting by all is excellent and the thing that keeps me watching. I’m not a game player, so this is stuff I’ve seen a million times over, minus the nature of the infection. It’s the acting that has me invested.
"I like this guy, I hope he joins them"...............
Henry and Sam are the only change I enjoyed from the game to the show. In the game, they are kind of annoying, but in the show you feel sympathetic towards them and root for them.
I like you guys, let the show breathe, too many people try to put on an act. Cheers
You should watch Robocop 3. It's really interesting to see your reaction to this movie
Have been waiting for this - thanks guys!
Having played the game I knew Sam & Henrys fate however it didn't takeaway the emotional gut punch I felt when it finally happened, the acting, writing are all on point.
A awesome episode & such a brilliant reaction.
It's not a hill to die on, but Sam is Henry's brother not his son. He says it to Joel, "I'm Henry. This is my brother, Sam."
PS: I love watching your reactions.
So just a few missed points. It's a bloater, not bloomer. Kathleen kind of reminds me of Ms. Carmody from The Mist in how unexpectedly intimidating she can be. The boy that plays Sam is deaf in real life so he is so good in his reactions because he really does know what it's like to not have such an important sense while trying to survive something like this. And I really feel for Joel especially because this has to really scare him because he's realizing he is creating a relationship with Ellie that could end the same way...just like Sarah. Also I kind of loved that fact that Kathleen was so heartless about children and who killed her? An infected child!
Tom....I don't think Henry and Sam were father/son. I think they were brothers, right?
Love how u expect there to be infected in tunnel and then there arent…fake out.
Henry and Sam are brothers not father/son. Sam couldn't survive. Henry couldn't endure.
Great reaction guys.. yeah the bloater has a habit of getting it's hands in your mouth and ripping your head in half. Brutal, just wish we seen it a bit more clearly.
"I like this guy, I hope he joins them" :( and he died
Hey Cinema Rules,can you guys react to The Fly 2(1989)?If you do,I'd really appreciate it.
I think Melanie Lynskey absolutely killed the role of Kathleen! She was so frustrating to watch.
It took a while to articulate my issue with the actress playing Kathleen, who ive LOVED in other roles. At 1st, I just disliked HOW she delivered her lines. Then I thought the lines as written didn't fit the character. Now it's more like she's the only one who FEELS like an actress playing a role instead of JUST the character. Idk she just didn't sell it to me. Great episodes and show, this Is a minor gripe, but I didn't feel the performance.
"I like this guy, I hope he joins them"
People who played the game: uhhh....
The kid who plays Sam is actually deaf, and he has never acted until this show! Also, Sam and Henry are brothers. Not father and son, lol.
Thanks, Tom! Thanks, Shaun! 🖍 #CinemaRules #TheLastOfUs #TLOU #TheLastOfUsHBO
Great episode
Cinema Rules had good character development this episode. I liked Boomy McBitey popping out of the hole wanting hugs. He needs hugs, Tom. Don't be miserly. Hug away. He's a fungi after all. (DON'T TRUST HIM SHAUN OF THE ALIVE, TOM SEEMS FUNGUSUS.)
They haven't done it all the time, but whenever something utterly tragic happens, instead of showing it, they'll cut away to Ellie's reaction. They did it with Henry's sucide, when Joel stabbed Bryan to death, and somewhat when Tess sacrificed herself in the museum. It puts you in her head. It worries you with how this must be affecting her.
I’m just going to lather myself in anti-fungal cream and walk through the hordes of fungal-undead like Richard Ashcroft singing in the Bittersweet Symphony video…at least until a bloater appears, in which case I may increase my pace from leisure to brisk.
The extra long wait for the next ep. Gahhhhh.
I have a gay crush on the ligther blond guy to my right as I face the screen lol! I can't help it sorry! I think it's his channel.
I thought that "The last of us" aired early because there's a Rihanna-concert tonight 😁
I may be mistaken, I thought *Henry* introduced *Sam* as his brother. So, not father and son. 🤷🏼♂️
If someone is bit can you not amputate quickly??
Actress playing Kathleen is in a TV show called Yellow Jackets as well and she annoys me in that too.
BLOATER!!!!!!😂
I'm curious who's gonna play David, I think Kim Coates would be perfect.
Henry and Sam were brothers.
❤❤
The lighting in the room makes it seem like you guys are in a "flashback."
I just call Bloaters Thicc Boi
Bloomer?!? Nah it's called a Bloater!
You guys should react to 'Yellowjackets'. Melanie Lynskey (Kathleen) is in it as well as Christina Ricci. Great show for a reaction as theres a lot of what the fuck moments.
So sad to see the death of henry and Sam :(
Wasn't it his brother?
Henry and Sam are brothers
I found it to be more shocking and emotional in the game, but I still had that feeling of almost bursting in to tears, they still did a great job
Kathleen every single time she was on the screen pissed me off too not just you guys😂. Her gentle voice and appearance is far from intimidating or convincing that she’s a leader of a rebel group
That is the point. She isn't a big dude but will kill you just as quick.
She's only been the leader for maybe 2 weeks. And the whole point is that she's not a leader. She's just a grieving sister that allowed revenge to destroy lives. Anger gets shit done, but it's too volatile to maintain any sort of stabilization.
@@sarcasmxkateyeah I understand and that last sentence is right on the money. Her being so focused on getting Henry destroyed the movement they were trying to make
Did you miss the part where she executed her own doctor, killed dozens of people without a second thought, and stood in the middle of a swarm of infected prepared to kill the man who turned in her brother? Did you miss the part where Perry said they followed her because she was able to change things? Did you watch the show at all?
@@merlinsclaw It's not convincing either way. No way that woman leads anything, except maybe a baking class on weekends.
