It's pretty obvious she wants to desperately give what she has and pass it on to him. Nothing about comforting him. She is closing her eyes and muttering some words as if she's praying or pleading that it works.
Name of the infected "peoples / monsters" - Runners (the fast ones and they can see and hear) - Clickers (can´t see) - Bloater (the new big boy) + later will come: - Stalkers ( a version of a runner and clicker, they can hear and see) - Shamblers (a other version of a Bloater)
Episode 3 was the 'Happy Episode.' Two men growing old together living their life to the fullest and dying on their own terms. Beautifully sad. Episode 5 was heartbreaking and devastating. Two unfortunate young people just escaped being hunted by a whole army looking forward to hope and a future and adventure with new companionship just to be buried suddenly.
21:30 last episode Joel told Ellie to put the gun in her pack but she put it in her pocket, so when he notices that in this episode he gives her a disapproving look and she responds with a cheeky grin. It's a fun little character moment you can easily miss, but it shows how much effort the showrunners are putting in to develop the relationship.
Henry had never directly killed anyone at this point either. So it's even more sad that his first kill was his own brother and his last kill was himself.
Yep, I noticed that too. In Henry's POV, first person he got killed was the guy he looked up to - Kathleen's brother, first person he killed by himself was his own brother and then he killed himself. He never killed an infected or another human. The show runners made sure that that was the case.
Bella's gutteral shriek at the end... absolutely masterful. Same with Lamar. The confusion and horror on his face, and then the kind of almost automatic way he brought the gun to his head, like it wasn't something he was capable of controlling. Just marvelous acting.
@Life Almost Without Reactions, 48:52 The epidemiologist explaining the cordyceps in the first episode told us that the cordyceps get nutrients from the hosts body. I think Joel confirms this when he told Ellie how long clickers live. A small body has less nutrients than a large one, so smaller infected should be the first to die from natural causes since they have so little to give. The Bloater we saw was once a big person, so there's a lot more nutrients for the cordyceps. Joel and Ellie will likely talk about this next week, so we'll probably get more info on it...maybe, but don't quote me on that. The game doesn't explain it, so we probably shouldn't expect this series to either, but this series has explained things the game didn't, so there is that.
The Bloater is the potential end result of all infected if the host’s body survives 10+ years. Since most Infected hosts don’t survive that long due to elemental exposure Bloaters are rare and need certain conditions to be created. Usually the host needs to be isolated in a dark secluded place where the fungus can continue to grow to that extent. That’s why in the game whenever you encounter one it’s someplace inside a building or tunnel, somewhere they could be protected from the elements. They don’t necessarily need to be a large tall person either because there’s another smaller variant of the Bloater called the “Shambler” but we won’t see those till season 2. Hope this helps!
@@patrickdoss25 Yes, there are four stages of infection. Runners, Stalkers, Clickers and Bloaters. As time goes on the fungus starts to deform the infected's body. If an infected can survive long enough, it will eventually become a Bloater. Bloaters have fungal growths over their bodies that act as armor plates, and are supremely powerful in that going toe to toe in melee is instakill. They also have growths that are essentially spore grenades that give them a ranged attack unless you nullify them. Shamblers are an alternate fourth stage of infected. They are believed to be from very moist environments , as opposed to the drier climates that cause Bloaters. Also, instead of grenade growths, Shambler spray acid at their foes. Then there is the abnormal stage of the infected called the Rat-King. It is essentially multiple infected fused together to form a single entity. If you damage it enough, it is possible an infected to break free, and they can resemble any stage, but can possess abilities from later stage forms. It is believed that in order for a Rat-King to form requires multiple infected sealed in a small enclosure and their various fungal infections begin to join each of them together into one entity.
@@Riftsrunner There is a reason why the fungal growth are like armor Fungus cell walls are made out of CHITIN. that is the same stuff that Crab and Lobster shells are made of Chitin is VERY durable, SO durable that: 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.
So a little bit of context for you from the games. In the game, there is no Kathleen, Sam and Henry were part of a group that was travelling together. They got separated and Joel and Ellie meet them in Pittsburgh. Also, in the game Henry and Sam are step brothers. Thier mom was raped when they were moving a few years ago and then she got infected and died. Henry used to hate Sam but eventually broke down to take care of Sam as a brother. They talk about this in the notes we find in the game. Also Henry is much more strict on Sam in the game, a big part of the reason being Sam is not mute in the game. So killing Sam in the end was extra heavy for Henry cuz he always promised Sam to take him to a safe place but never could. Just a bit of c a context form the game.
Craig Mazin, one of the showrunners, said in the podcast about this episode that the old guy sniper was like 70-80, had lived an entire good life before the outbreak, and then everything went to shit, and when Joel showed up he saw his way out.
Ellie was trying to help Sam but she didn’t know any better. She really thought her blood would save Sam. You guys have to remember that she is still a 14 yr old child.
It was a good guess, but obviously not how her immunity works. The reason for that will have to wait until the last episode though, assuming they include it and do not change it.
Yeah, it's easy to underestimate just how little kids would know about vaccines in the world of the show/game. She almost definitely got taught basic first aid training in military school, but vaccines (of any kind) literally don't exist anymore, so they're totally irrelevant and wouldn't be included in school. All she knows is that something in her blood/body is immune.
@@Dark__Thoughts What? Did you think I was saying that Ellie was vaccinated? I'm talking about her trying to heal Sam and not understanding the fact that her blood isn't medicinal. You've misread it my comment.
I think I can help a bit here. The show is depressingly realistic like the game. But it is not about the infected or all the tragic death scenes. I think it is easier to handle by interpreting the entire thing as one relationship growing positively despite all odds. Ellie and Joel inch closer to each other every episode. I think the biggest reason why the game was so adored is because it mirrors real life. It is hard enough facing our non-apocalyptic world alone especially if we have past traumas. Friends or partners can make it alot easier for personal growth. Ellie is becoming more hardened and Joel is softening up. I think the idea is that the terrifying obstacles in front of them are necessary for these dramatic changes. A broken father and an orphan who is also facing pain from the past are things not easily fixed. I teared up when Joel awkwardly tried hard to act like a father figure and then taught her how to hold a gun. When she finally got him to laugh at a joke. When Joel tells her “we will get thru this.” When Ellie tries hard to be strong and non-emotional. While Joel is now deeply protective for fear of losing her. *”For not all tears are from evil.”*
@@sgtmian Sure, but you never know what HBO and the showrunners are going to change and how much, until it happens. The child clicker was new (and terrifying).
Fun fact: In the game those rebels literally kill childrens, and thats not a theory or something like that. Henry literally said it in the game, they do it because (and i quote) "survival of the fittest". So the fact of Khatleen being kill by a infected kids is aboslutly ironic
I don’t know this for a fact, but in my opinion I think it’s because all the fungus is about is building a network and spreading. So the fungus has a different role for each infected. Some are chosen to live longer and others are chosen to just find somewhere and attach to a wall or environment and spread the network. The ones that are chosen to live are meant to spread the infection and the ones that are chosen to live even longer than that have been slowly feeding off the host slowly replacing all its flesh with fungus to make those big armored ones as protectors to kill anyone who tries to hurt the network or the other infected.
I find myself genuinely looking forward to y'all's reactions to this more and more by the week. I thought this one would hit Elise hard.. but emotion again is what we want. It shows a genuine connection to the story/characters and the impact they have in a very short space of time! Thanks for another awesome reaction .. Good luck with your competition ✌✌
47:19 The show decided to show alot more character development of all the lives and people that Ellie and Joel encounter on their journey - ultimately a journey to save all of humankind. They decided to dive into all the characters in much more detail than the game. And it appears we will see all these different lives play out as Ellie & Joel frog hop from one to next along their way. So yea, you can be introduced to - and then lose many characters in each episode
She should have told. Let the brothers have their last night. Give Henry a chance to think, and accept the situation. As it was, Henry acted on extreme emotional impulse.
This episode was so economical in its storytelling. It had one episode to get us connected to Henry and Sam then kill them, and it pulled it off beautifully. Lamar Johnsonn and Keivon Woodward had such an instant, magnetic relationship that got you immediately attached to them. It was such a smart choice to have Ellie try to save Sam with her blood. That is very impactful for her internal struggle moving forward. And it paid off just how much Sam and Ellie had bonded. That line where Joel said that it’s easier for kids as they don’t have anyone that depends on them only for Ellie to lose Sam who depended on her. Such a great way of handling character with such small character work. The entire mirroring of Henry and Sam to Joel and Ellie serves to continue the narrative drive to the ending in such a deft way. Another banger episode. Also the Savage Starlight, Joel working his way through the street to get to the sniper, and the Bloater kill being just like the game was chef’s kiss. The Infected were truly terrifying in this episode. The clicker kid was so creepy.
Great reaction. My wife refuses to watch the show but she loses it whenever something bad happens to a kid. She would've had a similar reaction to Elise at the end.
obviously The Last of Us likes to hit hard emotionally, so multiple people are crying over these episodes, but what I gathered from the first reactions on this channel is that Elise has to be genuinely compassionate and caring, the world needs more people like her
I can’t speak for everyone else, but I love you as part of the show man. Don’t think we’re just watching because of the girls. I like all your intersecting observations, you each bring something to the table. I don’t mean to gush on y’all but you’re entertaining and I don’t know that I would find these reaction videos as fun if it weren’t the three of you.
@@LifeAlmostWithoutus I have to agree. It's the dynamic of all three of you that makes it so entertaining and enjoyable. You all bring something unique to the table.
Imagine your younger sibling being your first OFFICIAL kill!!💔Ps: who else noticed after Kathleen was talking trash about kids she ended up getting killed by one!🤣
Lisa: “When I see Kathleen, I just see Will’s mom from Stranger Things. I can’t take her seriously in this role.” Hugo and Elise: “That’s not the same actress.” Lisa: “…….It’s not?” Elise: “Yeah Will’s mom is Winona Ryder.” Lisa: “Oh………..Maybe they just look alike then.” 😂
Great reaction, thank you. Also wanted to say Elise is the exact spitting image of a close friend of mine who is no longer with us. Watching is also sort of comforting, in a way. So thanks for that, too.
@@lisadarling_bjj also, child clickers are terryifing 😄. I dot know why ppl are running around in t-shirts since it just takes a bite. I'd wrap duck tape around my limbs and be wearing catchers helmet and gear 😄
Honestly.. people are walking around way too chill..forgetting of the universal enemy. And you are absolutely right! We need to have tissues for our dear friend, Elise.. She goes through them quickly 😂
Animal Farm is a shit book written by a piece of shit rapist. Speaking of George Orwell I got a joke for you. A rapist, a snitch, a plagiarist, and a racist walk into a bar. The bartender turns and asks “How’s the new book coming along Mr. Orwell?”
Random thought: If Sam had survived as an infected and eventually turned into a clicker, he probably wouldn't have killed anyone since they use sound to find their next victims.
He also was sheltered from ground fungus, deaf, and facing a wall. Unlike zombies, infected don’t wander without outside input, so if nothing ever came in his field of view he’d stay there forever.
remember when Henry said he never killed anyone, and the most violent thing he's done is point a loaded weapon at Joel...? Yeah, goes from that to killing his brother, then himself. Sad story.
Ok, Hugo you're gonna have to spend some big bucks and get some tissue. We want Elise to come back!! You know it's great when it can make you so emotional. We'll have to wait and see if Elise's letter works or not. Not holding by breath.
@@dayangmasudi I'm not sure but if it was a real person it was probably CG enhanced or mocapped. The rest were actual people though. They showed a clip of the behind the scenes after the episode.
@@dayangmasudi Its a real person. Theres an article about how the kid actor was scared of him during shooting until he had to show that it was just a normal guy under the suit
As for the big guy it's called a Bloater. They are very armored and the fungus runs throughout the body. It would be like shooting a moving tree. Head shots or molotiv cock tales are the only way to kill them fast in game.
it's not just Naughty Dog. It's Craig Maizen who is the main showrunner. Bill didn't die in the game, but here he did. This is an HBO production. Let's not argue semantics. When people say HBO, they're generically talking about everyone involved. The show, an HBO production, took liberties with certain characters.
Excellent acting by Bella in the scene where Henry shoots himself. Her whimpers instinctively gave me a fatherly urge to hug her Ellies "I'm sorry" at the end got me so hard. @Elise: Same here. Crying counter 4 of 5 episodes
Kathleen is indeed a baaad leader, wasnt sure last week if the writers fucked up or it was their plan, but this episode truly showed and angry and emotional she is
Also made sense why everyone followed her. She was the sister of the beloved leader and her grief was their grief. She pointed them in a direction they all wanted to go.
That was a Bloater. Infected for 5-10 years. Definitely not the 20 year guy lol Whenever they show one of them off it’s going to be next level compared to what we’ve seen so far.
What do you think Joel would do if Henry did to Tommy what he did to Kathleen's brother? You know the answer. Would you react to Joel the same way you reacted to Kathleen, by saying "shoot him"? If not, ask why, b/c there would be no difference, objectively. That is the entire central point of the games/show.
Finally crossed the line of being unscientific? No. Those big guys are bred from massive and strong body types like Hugo lol. Probably. Maybe you can take some lessons from that big guy to win your jujitsu matches. After Kathleen said Sam was supposed to die, and that kids die all the time, she got what she deserved.
This isn't on HBO. Their fate is the exact same one in the game. Perry, as being the actor for in-game Tommy, going out this way was actually very on point actually. It's basically one of the death animations when you get caught by that type of infected. I'm sure he was happy to go out like that. Personally this was the weakest episode for me. This part is imo way better in the game and I feel they really cut it too short. It's something I was worried about already, because they were condensing a lot in the previous episodes too. Henry & Sam somehow also did not really get me this time, even though it's one of the worst moments in the game.

You guys are getting better and better. The three of you have such great chemistry.
FUN FACT- Perry the long white beard dude aka (jeffrey pierce), is the actual voice actor for tommy in the game
Fun fact - this was said a billion times last week
They know, they talked about it in the video.
"We ain't back in Boston"
I wonder if he asked to be killed by the Bloater.
Bella's gutteral shriek at the end... absolutely masterful. Same with Lamar. The confusion and horror on his face, and then the kind of almost automatic way he brought the gun to his head, like it wasn't something he was capable of controlling. Just marvelous acting.

36:14 technically you aren't wrong, since the fungus have the full control of the body, turning the host into a 'zombie'
Elise... It's okay to hate-love this extraordinary series - we all do!
Haha absolutely
26:56 "Joel and ellie are in it to win it" I know right 🙁
45:08 Lmaooo They should find some G shocks 😭😭😭
I’ll lose it if they find gshock branded watches lol
Great reaction, thank you. Also wanted to say Elise is the exact spitting image of a close friend of mine who is no longer with us. Watching is also sort of comforting, in a way. So thanks for that, too.

This episode reminded me a lot of the book animal farm. How easily revolutionaries turn into the very regime they fought against
Interesting thought..very true
@@lisadarling_bjj also, child clickers are terryifing 😄. I dot know why ppl are running around in t-shirts since it just takes a bite. I'd wrap duck tape around my limbs and be wearing catchers helmet and gear 😄
@@lisadarling_bjj you guys need to have tissues at the ready. Poor Elise and her mascara 😄
Honestly.. people are walking around way too chill..forgetting of the universal enemy. And you are absolutely right! We need to have tissues for our dear friend, Elise.. She goes through them quickly 😂
Animal Farm is a shit book written by a piece of shit rapist. Speaking of George Orwell I got a joke for you.
A rapist, a snitch, a plagiarist, and a racist walk into a bar. The bartender turns and asks “How’s the new book coming along Mr. Orwell?”
Fun fact: Kathleen is actually Rose from Two and a Half Men
The neighbor?
@@LifeAlmostWithoutus yes, the stalker
1.5 G-Shocks counter.
The first G-Shock reference was halfway interrupted after you got startled from the infected scene. 😂
You totally win the G shock comment award 😂 🥇
The irony of the one in the middle talking about Kathleen looking like Winona Ryder lol
Thanks for the Reaction!! Elise and Lisa are 😍🔥😂 ✌
I am very okay with the infected being called zombies, the ants who gets infected by the fungus in real life are sometimes called "zombie ants".
Sam didn't survive, so Henry couldn't endure
You guys are my favorite Last of Us reactors. Keep it up. PS, Elise fan club continues to grow every week :P
Here's your tissues! Thanks for being awesome y'all. Elise you gotta stay. This story is worth it.
Thanks for the tissues! Elise will be happy lol
Thank you!!!
You're the best!
lol the toilet paper is relatable
😅 we upgraded for Sunday night this time around
Random thought: If Sam had survived as an infected and eventually turned into a clicker, he probably wouldn't have killed anyone since they use sound to find their next victims.
It is an interesting theory. Eventually the helmet of fungus would blind him. But then he would just be lost in his own silent thoughts within 😱🥲🥲
@@LifeAlmostWithoutus such a heartbreaking scene! Love your channel and all 3 of your reactions!
He also was sheltered from ground fungus, deaf, and facing a wall.
Unlike zombies, infected don’t wander without outside input, so if nothing ever came in his field of view he’d stay there forever.
Theres a giant underground "city" under Kansas City. That's where the infected came from.
Irl?
Even played the games for years they were still able to make me shed some tears. T-LOU (the last of us) the 🐐
With me and my siblings, only my little sister was cool with face paint. My little brother and I wanted nothing to do with it lol.
Kleenex for Elise.
Every week I invite The Last of Us into my heart to make me feel things I never wanted to feel.
Aww dude thanks. We’re just gonna have to keep the tissues stacked around her
this has become one of my favorite channels 🥰much love from brazil, guys
Thanks 😊
remember when Henry said he never killed anyone, and the most violent thing he's done is point a loaded weapon at Joel...? Yeah, goes from that to killing his brother, then himself. Sad story.
Yeah pretty tragic indeed
Ok, Hugo you're gonna have to spend some big bucks and get some tissue. We want Elise to come back!! You know it's great when it can make you so emotional. We'll have to wait and see if Elise's letter works or not. Not holding by breath.
That's a talented young gymnast
That's Shaquille O'Neal got infected
😂
What if it's Yao Ming instead?
But yeah, why would Shaq and Yao Ming hanging around in Kansas at 2003?
The last of us should make official tissues . Lol they would sell out every Sunday.
Katherine killed by an infected child = POETIC JUSTICE
Fun Fact: The infected were all real people. They wanted the movements to look more natural so they chose to use actors instead of animated CG.
Really good freaking call
What about bloater?
@@dayangmasudi I'm not sure but if it was a real person it was probably CG enhanced or mocapped. The rest were actual people though. They showed a clip of the behind the scenes after the episode.
@@dayangmasudi I feel like that could've been a suit?
@@dayangmasudi Its a real person. Theres an article about how the kid actor was scared of him during shooting until he had to show that it was just a normal guy under the suit
Kathleen isn't Will's mom, but she is Rose from Two and a Half Men. Lol
😅
Interesting fact sams actor is actually deaf
Episode 3 was the calm before the storm
For sure
It’s worse knowing it was coming. Right after the battle and where “safe” I was a mess from that point. 😢
"Is that the 20 year guy?!" Why, yes. Yes it is.
As for the big guy it's called a Bloater. They are very armored and the fungus runs throughout the body. It would be like shooting a moving tree. Head shots or molotiv cock tales are the only way to kill them fast in game.
Makes sense
HBO doesn’t make the decisions about who bites the dust or who gets to stay. That’s all in the game created by Naughty Dog.
it's not just Naughty Dog. It's Craig Maizen who is the main showrunner. Bill didn't die in the game, but here he did. This is an HBO production. Let's not argue semantics. When people say HBO, they're generically talking about everyone involved. The show, an HBO production, took liberties with certain characters.
Love the reactions guys.
Love the reactions 😊
I really enjoyed your reaction，please keep making more videos like these👍
Will do 🤗
Elise stays!!
Woahh, can't wait to watch, in a little bit *Saved to watch list*

@@LifeAlmostWithoutus Have you heard about the Ben Shapiro outrage over this show?
I have not actually.
9:25 "When I see Kathleen is see Will's mom on stranger things... brown hair, brown eyes... white women" This whole part is killin me 😂
😂😅 yeah… lol
See in my opinion episode 5 is the best one so far
Yeah it was pretty solid overall
I think the cute girl on the left, already knew what was gonna happen to henry
She’s a prophet
your left or their left.
@@remyd8767 bro wut 😭
Excellent acting by Bella in the scene where Henry shoots himself. Her whimpers instinctively gave me a fatherly urge to hug her
Ellies "I'm sorry" at the end got me so hard. @Elise: Same here. Crying counter 4 of 5 episodes
Kathleen is indeed a baaad leader, wasnt sure last week if the writers fucked up or it was their plan, but this episode truly showed and angry and emotional she is
Also made sense why everyone followed her. She was the sister of the beloved leader and her grief was their grief. She pointed them in a direction they all wanted to go.
thats why in leaderahip roles you need to rule by logic and not emotion. she was a terrible leader
@@masoprid3 that's the point of her character. terrible leaders already exist in this normal world, let alone a desperate world.
That was a Bloater. Infected for 5-10 years. Definitely not the 20 year guy lol Whenever they show one of them off it’s going to be next level compared to what we’ve seen so far.
katline put her revenge but the town safetly. She knew of the infection problem,
First it was bill and frank now sam and henry and tess
Sarah was first
great reaction
From now on,you guys should call your subscribers raivers 😂😅
cool video guys
I checked the previous episode, and they don't appear
Thanks 😊
You guys should watch invincible if u havent already
I hear great things
Super Thanks.
You’re the best!!
What do you think Joel would do if Henry did to Tommy what he did to Kathleen's brother? You know the answer. Would you react to Joel the same way you reacted to Kathleen, by saying "shoot him"? If not, ask why, b/c there would be no difference, objectively. That is the entire central point of the games/show.
🤷🏻♂️
Finally crossed the line of being unscientific? No. Those big guys are bred from massive and strong body types like Hugo lol. Probably. Maybe you can take some lessons from that big guy to win your jujitsu matches. After Kathleen said Sam was supposed to die, and that kids die all the time, she got what she deserved.
The things this show does to my emotions should be illegal 😕
Did Hugo win his match ? Also great reaction you guys are great 🔥
It’s this evening! I’ll update you 😊
@@lisadarling_bjj thanks!
I did not win 😞. Next time
we goona need update on the bjj results
Competing in a few hours. I’ll comment and pin it
Update: I lost 😞 haha
@@LifeAlmostWithoutus no shame in that... GG
Zombies as a term is fine, infected can be a mouthful to say sometimes.
It's just one more syllable . 😂
@@CharifRocka 🤓
@@CharifRocka yep, you're right.
This isn't on HBO. Their fate is the exact same one in the game.
Perry, as being the actor for in-game Tommy, going out this way was actually very on point actually. It's basically one of the death animations when you get caught by that type of infected. I'm sure he was happy to go out like that.
Personally this was the weakest episode for me. This part is imo way better in the game and I feel they really cut it too short. It's something I was worried about already, because they were condensing a lot in the previous episodes too. Henry & Sam somehow also did not really get me this time, even though it's one of the worst moments in the game.
It's so ironic that Kathleen got killed by a child clicker.
“It’s like rain on your wedding day’ 🎶
Good luck on your BJJ match!
Fingers crossed!
Lamar, Kievonn, and Bella were fantastic this episode. Poor Elise. 😢😢😢
This episode hurt.
Ooof yeah 🥲
