welp, I binge watched s1 and these 2 eps of s2 through the geks reactions in 2 days just to quit watching now. Yeah, I was too mad yesterday, still am actually. Sorry, but I ain't continuing this show without Joel, literally diabolical

rosa_gris

I actually the changes they made in this episode. Jesse being with Ellie on patrol. Dina being with Joel instead of Ellie. Tommy staying in town instead of being with Joel. It makes a lot of sense, considering future events.

rosa_gris

My condolences for experiencing Joel’s death for the first time. 😅 I was shocked, angry and depressed when it happened in the game. I went through all 5 stages of grief. Multiple times. Joel is one of my favourite characters across all media and I’m emotionally attached to his relationship with Ellie. I wanted to hate the game but... I couldn’t. This story has a lot of nuance and will challenge your emotions, empathy and morals. Part I was my comfort game, but I have a complicated relationship with Part II. It left a profound impact on me and changed my brain chemistry. It is one of the most meaningful stories I’ve ever experienced and I hope you guys get to experience what I did, even if you don’t end up loving the story.

Luke Fox

TLOU is a prime example why you just need to quit while you are ahead. There was no need for a sequel and second part proved it. Its surreal watching people experience this garbage for the first time, thought it was common pop culture knowledge.

Studio Geck

Wow haha

Ron Jackson Jr

Fr 🤣

Chad Jordan

Abby is supposed to be an absolute unit, a bad b*tch that has trained everyday to kill joel, not some short, scrawny girl. You should be afraid to cross her. There is supposed to be a dichotomy between her appearance and Ellie's, and parallels between their actions. Its a complex story that blurs the lines of good and bad. They kinda mixed up the story a bit to include the town being attacked as well, i guess that makes for better television. Idk how i feel about it.

llB0JANGLESll

Party of acceptance... On display

Bambina

I was rewatching your reactions to S1, and in episode 6 when they show us Jackson for the first time, Carter says sth along the line of “I feel like the big one (bloater) can pass through that fence”. Talk about predicting the future 🤣🤣🤣

Kekles

it followed the game? That did the same thing?

Jessica

He chooses Ellie over humanity, it’s wrong in many ways but from his perspective he would do it again knowing the aftermath. Ellie was his “you keep finding something to fight for” after Sarah died, so the story is really about love, and putting part 1 & 2 together it’s all about perspective

pineapplegreg

I don’t know if anybody else already mentioned this but that song at the end was sung by Ashley Johnson who played Ellie’s mother in season 1 and played Ellie in both of the video games

pineapplegreg

Eff that old guy and his apology, I definitely wouldn’t eat those sandwiches

PST3

Pretty brave killing Joel this early played by the most popular actor in the show. It's going to hurt the ratings. I don't know why didn't they build a dry moat around the walls to protect the walls.

Frosty

RIP the goat fr, but Joel is still, morally the worst character we've seen so far by a lot. Was still rooting for him and hoping they'd change the story to keep him alive :(

ShadowCat

Carter is going THROUGH IT for a full minute there when Cannon is processing 🤣 that's how we all feel, for real. ❤️‍🩹

CRuEL_WOrlD

No aot? 🥀💔

Caleb

Imagine killing joel😭, what shyt writting, this shows so ass

a_daichi

samee

a_daichi

they know. they said this last episode

Ladnon

Spoiler 💔

Chrissy

This scene was so wild too me lmao. Like bruh what. Fuck you and your “apology” 😂

Chrissy

Also we will 100% get flash backs of Joel and even Eugene. Joel is dead but it’s not the end of him.

Chrissy

Also idk if yall don’t know but they aren’t “zombies” the fungus is a parasite and needs its host alive…

jeekolo

27:56 “looks like this is the last of us Tommy”

Chrissy

He killed the doctor because he walked in and said something like let her go, or something. The doctor grabbed a scalpel and said “I won’t let you!” and Joel shot him. Something like that

aubrey

the confusion at ellie not accepting an apology from a man that called her a homophobic slur is sending me lmaoooo like

pineapplegreg

As someone who’s played the game, I’m really enjoying Season 2 so far. Dina is easily my new favorite character introduced this season

Ray 🧟

I hope the show does what comes next justice 😮‍💨

Noah

can't wait to watch this season man. need to finish season one asap

Zannen Da

I killed Abby’s Dad with a flamethrower in the first game. Idgaf.

Chrissy

I will say when watching I was screaming for Joel to say something. BUT. That wouldn’t have changed anything. I knew that but I hated the thought of these people thinking he just went on some random rampage. Abby was already prepared for revenge. Also “why did he kill the doctor?” The doctor grabbed a scalpel and said “I won’t let you” or something. Yes Joel could have like wounded him but I think for Joel, he was too locked in 😭 There’s two possible outcomes, Elle realizes hate is just this continuous force and tries to stop it or she gets revenge. I want her to get revenge. Fuck peace lol. I really respect Joel here. He knew what he did. Fact is, he killed a ton of innocent people. He started shootin, it’s not like they could really know. I would do the same as him tbf lol. But yea it makes sense now it could breed even more hatred.

somg

around 5 PM PST

Kale

I think not actually seeing her use the golf club was a pretty big missed opportunity, took a decent bit off the oomph out of her hits and it just being broken next time you see it feels kinda random (using the stab to end it is a change is actually like a lot tho)

Hayden Ton

what time is AOT tonight?

Bryce

Yall are gonna one day just need to just accept the fact cailee spaeny is and never will be Ellie 😂😭😭

Indiana Jones today perhaps? 👀

TheSauceGuy

If you haven't played the games, I'd just go for it. You could wait until after this season is finished, but I'd play them before next season.

TheSauceGuy

There's an entire DLC that shows she's clearly lesbian, and the first game has Bill, who is gay. The "Ellie not being straight" thing only upset the anti-woke crowd that games shouldn't try to satisfy anyway. The people who have a problem with the ending of the second game are typically biased imo, as it has a very similar ending to the first in certain regards.

Luke Barnes

Damn well the show did a great job adapting the scenes and even adding more emotion to it. But wow that hurt so bad on another level from the game because of the additions and small smart changes to add more emotions to the relationships.

TheSauceGuy

And he gets knocked TF out lmao

TheSauceGuy

I think the majority of people enjoyed the second game overall, especially if they played it a second time.

Sasha

57:05 that look on Carter's face when Cannon is explaining. He just seems so empty. Cannon's depression after seeing Joel die... I guess also Carter said in episode 1 that Pedro is his dad. I'm watching this the first time now as well and I have no idea how the show can even continue. I also think I have never seen the guys so surprised/upset. I am extremely upset also.

mk

Pretty good stuff so far imo. The hate on season 2 is probably inevitable considering how much the second game was hated as well.

Zaraiz Khan

oberyn strikes again, also im with cannons take lol, i mean ill watch a couple more episodes cuz im not rly watching anything else other than one peice. but i honestly doubt ill finish the season unless im really impressed. episode 1 was booty, but this episode was really good, wouldve been better later on in the szn tho imo

Spideycain

In the game instead of dina it was Tommy was there with Joel

Ante

Show Abby being so scrawny compared to game Abby does change the mood of the scene a bit lol. Makes it look like Joel is being handled by an off-duty barrista. Game Abby had pythons that made each swing of the golf clubs that much more unbearable to watch.

Sasha

Why are the zombies going for a cheese run at 27:03

Spideycain

yep just like the game

Sasha

25:37 Jack would be so interested in this😔

Kite

Can I share a TikTok edit I made or is that prohibited 🧐

Krillin It

Tommy's got that dawg in him. Was military before the outbreak and was a Firefly. Joel was menace to fight, but Tommy is a killing machine.

Krillin It

'Hear me out"

Krillin It

"Joel got a Killionaire" damn near made me spit out my drink

Krillin It

Ellie is so viscous in that scene, almost rabid. Probably the most intense acting I've ever seen in a game

Guy

Please please do post a reaction to the game version of the scene it's so good!!!!

Guy

^^^ this would be sick

JAN NARUTO

💔

Guy

"Joel in one", lmaoooooo

Guy

No way. Thanks Dunkey

TheSauceGuy

Yep, it has to keep them alive for them to be able to move and all.

Matthew Jackson

I've been waiting for this moment since they started this show especially when they said none of them played the game and have basically no knowledge of the game and then over the past couple years seeing their love for Pedro grow made this exciting to see

Nick R

Just realized something. Do they know these aren't typical "zombies"? Zombies in most shows are dead that are re-animated. The cordyceps need the host to be alive, that's why headshots are not needed to kill the "zombies" in this show. As long as you kill the host you good. Once a person is dead they can't come back as a zombie in this show.

jrnoodles

Thanks Geks! Now I feel like shit.

TheSauceGuy

Still hard to believe Joel was killed by golf, of all sports.

Carrie

On a lighter note, the fact that part of Joel’s description was “handsome” kills me, I’m imagining the nurses he left alive being like, “wait, but why was he kinda… 🤭” ladies let’s focus pls lmao

TheSauceGuy

You/your pfp looks like Dina haha.

TheSauceGuy

Let everyone know that they chose Isabela Merced from Alien: Romulus (she also played live-action Dora lmao) to play Dina, but they didn't choose Cailee Spaeny from the same film to play Ellie :(

BlueSmurf

Based on Ellie's conversation with Jesse, she did talk to Joel, they just haven't shown it.

TheSauceGuy

I mean, when you got your leg blown to shit by a shotgun and you're surrounded by armed militia, not much you can do. Also, you don't have to be very strong to use a firearm, or most weapons tbf.

spoons

A good thing to remember is that the game/show wants you to be pissed off at Joel’s death

Nick R

Torture? No. But Abby was justified in her wanting him killed.

Nick R

why is there even a competition? two completely different characters and shows

Cannon Andrus

😭

James

This up there with glenn💔

Ninjinzo

man i love the game so much more

Luka Monsaraz

Eren > Ellie. Is all that needs to be said.

Soli B.A

On the frustration regarding Joel not getting a chance to explain himself, I feel like he had the opportunity, but he just decided against it. It's not in his character to try and justify his actions to strangers, and he wouldn't want to openly admit that there was a chance for a cure because unfortunately, he denies it. Abby and her team actually don't know the exact situation either, we saw that at the beginning of the show with that flashback to the aftermath of Salt Lake massacre. Joel is the epitome of an antihero, and I really admired his character.

TheSauceGuy

Now we let the Geks soak in their despair for a week before the next episode.

Luka Monsaraz

Well yeah you also left out the most hated part of the game, but sure let's not spoil. They'll love it.

Meel

I actually think this episode for the most part was better than the game was done, especially for the majority of viewers. The big thing with the game was it was one of the most anticipated games of all time and 3 months before it came out Joel dying got leaked. And people were very not happy for a variety of reasons, Ellie was also confirmed to not be straight in the buildup to the game. I have no issues with either of these things but gamers in late 2019 early 2020 were very upset with both of these things. I can kind of understand the Joel frustration as it was abrupt especially as a leak. But he killed 20 people subconsciously hes a psychopath on the low lmao

Luka Monsaraz

let's just say it'll be a great season for fans of GOT S8

TheSauceGuy

I can't remember, but does he do that in the show, though? In the game, he says, "I won't let you take her."

Tim Moore

Abby is built like a toothpick in the show, she wouldn't scare a fly off shit lol Video Game Abby made sense

leah

the entire time i was watching i was just anticipating joel’s death and wondering when it was gonna happen so i feel like i probably missed some cool moments because it was all i could think about LOL that being said, glad i get to rewatch with you guys. He is risen but as for joel… happy late easter 😭

TheSauceGuy

I imagine the infected were focusing on the people on the rooftops over one of the only people in the streets. Other than that, it's probably just plot convenience.

TheSauceGuy

Abby is more buff than any of the Geks on the couch lmao. Her physique matters, but let's be real, most women don't/can't get to Abby's level. I would have rather they stuck with that look for the show, but I still like the actress, although I also wish she were a bit taller. Ellie on the other hand...

Animeke

I was hoping they'd change the story from the game. The only reason I kept watching the show was because of Pedro.

TheSauceGuy

That, and a lot of people can die within a year. It takes AT LEAST a year to become a Clicker, but not all infected actually do.

TheSauceGuy

I think she's one of the two female doctors lol. The other girl is the same actress playing Abby in the show, if I'm not mistaken.

Sarah Wevers

I love Mckay’s comments about Abby💀💀💀 LIKE LITERALLY NOBODY CARES GIRL

JayCnY

Ashley Johnson <3

Subaru Natsuki

Joel didn't deserved that.

Eywa

canons face is "how could you do this to me"

Spencer

Well! Pretty obvious now why they wanted Mark Mylod to direct lol. Fantastic episode.

Spencer

It's basically Hardhome 2.0. Absolutely diabolical.

Rumaki21

this episode like the long night except you can actually see it.

JayCnY

Joel's death in the video game was heart wrenching. Cannon's perspective was exemplified in much the same way. Many I know and myself included didn't even really feel like finishing the game. It was made even worse when after that you have to play as Abby. FOR A LONG TIME. This was probably the biggest factor that made people despise the sequel so much. Not necessarily the events, but the sequence of events. Even then, we all still rooted for Joel. You'll learn more, but it will probably only make you hate Abby even more. There were rumors that Neil Druckmann (Director of both games) did not like people idolizing Joel for the decisions he made, but there is no proof of this and ultimately Neil wanted to tell a story about consequences, revenge, and the cycle of violence. Joel was at the center of this narrative. What would of made a more compelling story is if they had given Ellie the choice to sacrifice herself and Joel went against those wishes. But to hide this from her and kill her for the "greater good" just isn't a morally sound reason to at any point side with Abby's father or her vengeance for him. Maybe had we seen flashbacks of Joel killing the innocent people he and Tommy supposedly did it would put this monster of a doctor and his spawn from hell on equal footing with Joel. Unfortunately they didn't and instead we all looked up to Joel and rooted for his survival until they very end. RIP Joel. Probably one of the most beloved main characters of any video game and went he out extremely unceremoniously which ironically immortalizes his death that much more.

a_daichi

no he didn’t but I’m truly not surprised that she did torture him. that hate and revenge has been ruminating for 5 years. she was gonna f him up 🤷🏾‍♀️

a_daichi

😭😭 watch the gameplay at some point girlie!

JoLen

Fun fact, the girl at the beginning in Abby’s flashback is actually Laura Bailey, Abby’s actress in the game!

leah

agreed

leah

not sure if anyone said this yet but the song that played at the end is actually sung by ashley johnson who voiced ellie in the games

Brayden Vassilas

My guess is that all the "new" looking infected have had their infection process slowed by the cold, snow, and even atmosphere of the mountains, all of which slow decomposition and fungal growth.

Maeverly

Playing this part of the game was wild cause it's a pretty big section, and they have us flip-flop between playing Ellie and Abby. So when you first play as Abby, you're like "who is this girl??" then bam, Joel in one. Like you guys said, I knew he was going to die based on the vibes of the game teaser trailers, but having it happen so early was jarring. The gaming community exploded after this. Soooo much hate was circling, to the point people were threatening Abby's voice actor, so I hope this actress is spared that. I do get why she does it, and I'm glad you all caught on to the parallels between her and Ellie, cause I felt a lot of people glossed over that due to the blind rage

Ron Jackson Jr

People say Abby had a good reason, and she kinda did, but Joel didn’t brutally torture Abby’s dad in front of her so it was quite unnecessary.

Gilster

It's objectively a very good show but just doesn't hit as hard as the game. The "tell, don't show" aspect of Abby's character in this is lame imo they've got a lot of work to do to make the rest of the show work to say the least. Also what McKay was saying basically "is her character really built for this?" well in the game without words this question is answered when you see prime Ronda Rousey has shown up. Abby's actress is excellent but Druckmann saying Abby's physique doesn't matter is just wrong. She spent 5 years training her body simply to whoop Joel's ass and be built for this

DownstairsRug

The video game was leaked several months before release and many of the cutscenes were leaked. So the death was spoiled to me and many others before even playing the game

Ron Jackson Jr

Woah

Spencer

It's my favourite lol, that's his locked tf in pose.

Slizzle

Geks can we get a video of you reacting to joel’s death in the video game if you haven’t already watched it

Vanesa

Me either. I like the game but I'm just going to state my opinion I don't like their casting choices and some other choices that they've made.

Brandon Kidd

"Don't @ me, don't call my phone, don't come by my house" LMAO

Kale

I mean like 60% of this episode wasn’t in the game in the first place, but personally I felt making him be out with Dina was kinda unnecessary and making her use her fists instead of the golf club kinda took away some oomph to the scene 🤷‍♂️

Jed

I was wondering where I knew her from. She was a big child actor in a lot of movies and tv a few years ago. I think this is her first big role as an adult so a lot of people are recognizing her since her face didnt change much so its weird not knowing why she looks so familar😂

Jonesy

personally i feel like there is a lot more tension in the game for this part of the story which made it very emotionally potent. the episode was still good tho

Kevin Landon

Lmao, when Tommy was in the middle of the street with his invisibilty cloak on! all the infected running past him while he shoots the bloater had me rotfl. This show reminds me of season 7 GOT

Kevin Landon

you play as abbey in the game, so shes technically not an NPC in LOU2, but i get ya. The main issue I had with the way it happened(in game) was that Joel and Tommy would not have let their guard down so easily around a new group of people. Its just not smart to walk into a situation like that and tell random people who you are when youve done the things they have done

Sarah Wevers

IM SICK TO MY STOMACH… literally cying my eyes out😭😭😭 (non gamer here)

Ante

I loved this moment back then and I love it now, even though both times i didn't enjoy a single second of what was shown on screen. No plot armor, no talk-no-jutsu, no last-minute shenanigans no matter how hard you might have hoped for them. Just Joel and some hard consequences. I understand the annoyances with Abby, but personally I like the idea of an 'NPC' standing up for themselves and getting some real payback against the main character.

Roan Gomez

Yeah, Joel isn’t Tony Stark.

engraved

Cannon mogging the hell out of that TV at the end I feel that

‎

okay you guys definitely need to react to joel death in game lmao its 100x worse treatment. Also the acting in the game is way superior

TheSauceGuy

Historically, humanity has been great at finding ways to justify and perpetuate cycles of violence, but we seem to struggle with that last part you mentioned.

TheSauceGuy

It gets tiring when most media has the main character find some bullshit way to get out of any situation. I liked Joel, but his death was an almost refreshing experience because it felt NEW. Unlike many, I became more invested because I wanted to feel more of that surprise. I think both the first and second games are masterpieces, but the reasons as to why are completely different.

Roan Gomez

No need to worry about no longer seeing Joel for the rest of the season. If you watch the trailer again, there are still a lot of scenes with Joel that haven’t been shown yet. Thankfully, flashbacks are a thing in this show. He’ll probably still be in season 3 for all we know.

TheSauceGuy

I agree with it being more brutal in the game, but not getting me more emotional, but that's probably because I already knew what would happen.

NMP

Joel’s death feeling unsatisfying/unfair is part of it. The second game is very very brutal and it doesn’t really let you get anything easy.

Alan

I keep trying to think about where I’ve seen the actress for Abby but I literally just think she looks like my ex-situationship

NMP

Idk why people keep saying this. You can’t start the story of Part 2 without Joel dying. You guys want an entire season of just daddy daughter drama in Jackson?

NMP

Time flies man… by the time season 3 comes out and wraps up the story of the game it will probably be 8 years old

NMP

Fun fact the woman singing at the end is Ellie’s voice actress from the game

Alan

I’m glad they added a little cinema sauce for the people who knew what was going to happen

Alan

How you guys feel is how everyone felt when we played the games. That’s why people are like “I hate the second game” but I think that’s what makes it such a good series. A story making people this divisive is a testament to a good story

TheSauceGuy

You can reduce the plot to "revenge = bad" if you want, but I feel like it's far more complex than that. I won't elaborate much yet, and was hoping people wouldn't mention how you play as Abby. I was hoping that'd be a surprise for Cannon, but I guess that's too much to expect. If you get overly attached to Joel, then yes, playing as Abby will not be fun. The game is meant to be this way, and I honestly love it lol. The first game is more about the bond that develops between Joel (an apocalypse-hardened man) and Ellie (an immune little brat) in an awful world. The second game focuses more on the gritty reality aspect; it isn't meant to satisfy the viewer. If you've watched All Quiet on the Western Front, you'd know the feeling I'm talking about.

TheSauceGuy

valid

Alan

Wait where’d the bugs and bills line go that was hilarious

Roan Gomez

Ellie harbored a deep-seated resentment towards Joel, which consumed her. She forgot how much she still cared for him. Now he’s gone and Ellie can no longer resolve her issues with Joel. That plus seeing how Joel gets killed will definitely trigger her PTSD. Playing the game 5 years ago and witnessing this unfold for the first time destroyed me but also made me realize a lot of things - how I should not let my anger and resentments dominate me and always choose my battles. Some things turn into cycles and we should learn how to end them.

Grimm

yes so glad they changed tommy telling Joel name to them. I think the main reason people were upset is because I remember when the 1st trailer came out and it was Abby tied up hanging. People thought that was Ellie's mother and we would get to know how Ellie is immune. People were hyped and I remember people were calling out Joel was going to die and weren't really upset if he did. But its just the way they did it and how the whole "message" was "revenge=bad" what a let down and overuse plot.

TheSauceGuy

AHHHHHH, this is gonna be such a satisfying show to watch them react to with all of their comments and predictions lmao. Cannon will have an even bigger surprise waiting for him whenever he plays the game lol.

Prince

What an incredible episode. I knew what was coming and Joel’s death hit me even harder in the show..

Philbo

I do kind of appreciate that they didnt make tommy look like a dumbass cause in the game Tommy and Joel save Abby then Tommy straight up tells Abby both of there names (although he didnt know who abby was, still really dumb considering How Joel and Tommy are) then Tommy does it AGAIN when they get back to Abby's Cabin. Alot of people Hated Joel dying so early on especially after having to play as abby prior to her killing him. it was to the point people stop playing the game altogether. im not exactly sure how much they are going to change since they are gonna stretch this out through this season and season 3. Im really curious how you guys are gonna react to some of the events that happen between now and the end of S3. Aside from the certain parts of the game that were IMO just fucking awful (not in a good way) the ending is what ruined the ENTIRE story for me. i wont get to much into that but like i mentioned. im very curious how you guys are gonna feel about where this story goes. you guys are kind of the only reason im even watching this show tbh lol

Kim555

No Jack 💔

Gage

joel got a little too freed..

TheSauceGuy

It takes at least a year for infected to become Clickers, and not all of them make the transformation. Becoming a Bloater would take several years without being killed. Remember that the infected in this series need to eat as they're still alive. There are also some other new types, like the Stalker that you saw last episode.

Ron Jackson Jr

Damn I didn’t get a notification about this

Brady

I think they way the killed Joel in the game was more trauma inducing but I think the show was definitely more emotional and personal leading up to his death but like in the game Abby straight bashes Joel’s head in with the golf club so it was just a terrible ending and it really did piss a lot of people off but I think the way the show did it was really good and definitely pulled way more emotion out of me than the game

Grimm

I mean there was and is still valid criticism of this story line. 1 of the biggest criticism that I remember when part 2 game came out is the whole "revenge = bad" plot line, which is so overdone and in this case in the game really poorly done because it literally forced you to play as Abby I would say 5+ hours worth of gametime. That whole time people did not care about her back story because it forced you to play her after killing Joel. I have no doubt it will take the same effect on people who haven't played the game watching the show.

Daisuke

okay..I'm good now LOL

Daisuke

Man, I get what the story is with Abby. I really do, I understand why she wants revenge. But damn, it is so incredibly hard to contain the hate I feel when I see her face. Like her smugness in that scene with Joel, just going off on a whole monologue. What did you even do to get here?? You got lucky with your meeting, got your ass saved btw. AND have a whole crew to help you against 1 dude. Okay Abby, you're tough alright. Where was this smugness on your fun trip down the mountain.

1999

Yeah it really challenges your moral biases. I remember people complaining that the second game was “emotionally manipulative” for making you sympathize with Abby 😂 Like bruh the whole point of a story is to manipulate your emotions

Jude

I'm fiending for the day Ellie gets them back

Kite

As someone who played the first game, my initial reaction to Joel’s death was shock and it was really impressing that they actually dared to do something like that. The way the rest of the story unfolds is so unique, and I love how it challenges you on a moral and emotional level, something not many games do. Joel Embiid.

a_daichi

My first reaction was shock and sadness but I feel the show made it even more heart wrenching. We also got more dialogue that I felt was lacking in the game so I appreciated that!

‎

Please also watch the game scene where he dies it's 100x times better acting

Legendarygamer

Lmao Carter just being like kill all the doctors is crazy, I unlike most feel like Joel needed to be held responsible for mass murder. Sad Pedro’s gone and that the cycle will continue now will Ellie and Abby but I’m interested to see how the show takes this.

a_daichi

He killed the doctor because he threatened Joel with his scalpel and to not get Ellie. I was always like dude he has a gun lol what’re you going to do

BestGinger

Also, just btw the song at the end is sung by the actress who plays Ellie from the games, and this song was in the original announcement trailer for Part 2, nine years ago

Aliya

after the game i really hoped they would change the plot and leave joel out of this but nah..

TheBookerDeWitt

Bro you were me when I played the game. I literally paused the game at 2am and got up and just walked around my house

Zipzzty

Jack really missed this 😞

Kite

Let Kaitlyn Dever cook

BestGinger

I remember when the game came out people were so heated about Joel they basically review bombed the game for years. Now though people appreciate it since we've had years to adjust and think about it. Also, the whole town attack wasn't in the game at all, so that was cool to see. Felt like Hardhome from GoT

Kite

This chat is going to be so toxic 😂

Nathan Magdeburger

Little fun fact. The person signing the song at the end of the episode was Ellie’s voice actor for the games.

a_daichi

you stupid old man!

JoLen

All I can say is trust the process yall. It’s gonna get good.

Steve

Glad I never got into this series. Sorry y'all

DAI

only 8 mins? i know what's coming but i died for 30 mins lol

Cannon Andrus

I literally don’t talk for like 8 minutes😂

a_daichi

Same! It had me crying more haha

a_daichi

Carter does your neck ever hurt with the way you grab it all the time

a_daichi

And I surprisingly really like the way it played out in the show 🤔

TheSauceGuy

Didn't McKay say he plays golf?

DAI

oh is that so? then well performed by her! still I think they can watch the trailor :)

a_daichi

Cannon you guys would love it!

a_daichi

Nah I’m pretty sure this is Bella. I saw an older video of her singing and it sounds like Bella to me!

Cannon Andrus

Hmmm well see

DAI

and I believe they(this show) used the original version of the song, right? I mean the original VA ver, not covered by this Ellie.

GreetswithJudgement

I wouldn’t doubt Tommy will also have an unhappy end to his arc. It doesn’t matter what show or movie, my favorite characters always equate to death lol I expect these things. Except for my man Rick. Now he’s a survivor.

Don’t take it so seriously lol. I don’t think it’s a big deal because it came to the same conclusion. I didn’t mind it 🤷🏾‍♀️

DAI

Bro, this ep destroyed me when they played "THAT" song in the end...I highly suggest Geks to watch the "Reveal" trailor of the original game, you can see the significance of that song. Don't worry it won't be a spoiler for the future episodes.

Random, but my Geometry teacher in high school had such a similar face to Ellie from the second game.

TheSauceGuy

Cannon, do you plan to play the games on stream after this season? It only covers like half of the second game, so would you play anyway, or wait till s3 comes out?

Luke Barnes

Well there is a reason why they put emphasis on him here more in the show then they did in the game which is awesome.

TheSauceGuy

This played out way differently than the game, and while I definitely prefer the way things played out in the game in most respects, the show did better in a few small areas for me.

TheSauceGuy

A little?

Cannon Andrus

💀💀💀

1999

I bought the game hours after it came out and I made the mistake of opening Instagram before playing it and I saw a spoiler

I love that the titles are songs from the game

GreetswithJudgement

Understandable

GreetswithJudgement

It is, but I did enjoy this episode a lot more than the first.

I thought it’d happen in episode 3 but as soon as I realized where we were I was like shit I actually don’t want to see this 😭

GreetswithJudgement

Great episode despite the bullshit. I honestly only care about Tommy now.

TheBookerDeWitt

Bro the fact that McKay was playing PGA World Tour 2025 after this episode 💀💀💀

Wow great episode! Direction was a little different from the game but it ended up working really well! Highlights for me: The casting for Jesse is amazing! 10/10. Seeing how much of a leader Tommy is and how connected Jackson really is was very nice. The community is big in the game but it feels a lot bigger on the show. Kaitlyn actually sounds very similar to game Abby so this is very cool!!! I like her as Abby but there are some elements to tv Abby that I know a lot of people wish were a little different but so far, she’s doing a great job. Also I swear Owen’s character’s face morphed into game Owen towards the end and it kind of freaked me out haha. Another great cast!

Just out of curiosity what would you say are some of the best tv shows ever made?

tomlette

I haven’t played the games but the internet spoiled this for me during last season so I knew it was coming. Still tough to see.

GreetswithJudgement

First I was worried for Tommy…then that shit happened.

Isaiah

Happy late Easter Sunday everybody! If you celebrate hope you got to do so with friends and family :)

As someone who knew what was going to happen, I don’t think I was prepared to see it portrayed live. The show did this episode completely justice and I don’t care if anyone else thinks different. I didn’t really cry in the game but this portrayal had me bawling. You can feel the connection they all have. To me, this Ellie and Joel are still very special even if they feel a bit different. Absolute props to Pedro and Bella 🫶🏾
