She states that FEDRA school taught her how to hold a gun so I assumed they taught her how to clear the chamber and handle one as well. I think you missed the part in episode one where Ellie talks about FEDRA teaching orphans like her to be FEDRA soldiers when they grow up. FEDRA was making kid fascists like most authoritarian regimes do.
@Viktor Stagnetti Courses on gun safety and other survivalist skills don't require military school. As recently as 50 years ago public schools all over the US were teaching exactly that. Those are skills farm kids need.
@yep yep 👍 Yeah, there was a whole gunfight leading up to the knifing of Brian. Anyone on that end of town head it as evidenced by the trucks that came driving up a few minutes later.
The implication is that Kathleen blames Henry for “snitching” to FEDRA about her brother, which led to him getting beaten to death in a FEDRA cell and Kathleen then spearheading the revolt to take over the QZ. Obviously that’s not the whole story and we’ll probably be hearing about what happened from Henry himself next episode but Kathleen’s so blinded by vengeance, something is going to go SPECTACULARLY tits up. Given, ya know, the ‘breathing’ floor and what is likely under it
You can see how she landed the job, but also can see why she isn't a long term solution. Unfortunately for everyone, lots of different forces have aligned themselves to pop up at the same time... Episode 5 is going to be the episode with the most action. It's going to be chaos.
When Kathleen, the merc leader lady, was interrogating the doctor she mentioned that Henry sold out her brother to FEDRA and that got her brother killed so she basically just wants revenge on Henry because of that
@Pitiless Nightmare in the game there is no Kathleen. The Hunters are just mobs of raiders who make life hell for Joel and Ellie. Love that they've given them more depth and the casting for the leader is very interesting. Great actress
Did you notice Joel was sleeping on his good ear when they snuck up on them? That's why he couldn't hear them coming. The attention to detail on this show is just amazing.
When i saw that the first thing i said was "noo, youre on your good ear!". I wonder if that will come into play later, that he got a little too relaxed, i think because he had some giggles and released some stress..but that ultimately leads to him not being as attentive and bam got snuck up on. It could be nothing but i felt a little of that.
@Danzan Sandeev Yeah it took me a second. When he first was shown I did a double take and thought "Wait I know that guy." It wasn't until he started speaking that it clicked with me.
That was the exact same reaction I had to seeing Henry and Sam at the end... they also made Sam quite a bit younger it looks like which gives me an extra "oh no"
Why am I crying at Joel apologizing to Ellie? I blame Pedro's performance. He's been SO good. Seeing Joel stay up all night on watch, all because Ellie was scared...so fucking heartwarming. Joel is going full Dad mode and I doubt he even realizes it. The dad jokes were a perfect device to help spark his humanity, allowing him to start to bond with Ellie. His past haunts him so much, and copes by cutting himself off from it. He doesn't remember who he is anymore, but Ellie is reminding him. She's bringing Joel back to who he was before the world had that very bad weekend. Ellie has grown up in a post-apocolyptic world, but contrary to what Joel believes, Ellie has hope for the future, and wants to enjoy her life. (I believe she knows how her story plays out, and what her immunity means. She has to believe, and does believe, her life now has significant meaning, which, I think, gives her that joyfulness. The death of **spoiler** filled her with guilt, anger, and self-loathing, but her immunity gave meaning to it all...she has a purpose now, and so **spoiler** didn't die in vain) Her seeming naivety, from Joel's perspective, sparks his Protector mode, something he's very good at, but that mode is inextricably linked to his Dad mode around Ellie (you have to have kids to fully understand what that means). Joel's cynicism, from such a tragic past, is starting to erode as he sees how joyful and spirited Ellie is. At first, he thinks she's dumb, naive, and wants nothing to do with her. She's a burden, a promise made...and just cargo. But, he's transforming, emerging from his cocoon...it's so beautiful to watch. 😭
Not me screaming that they did the pun book and the magazine scene… I was like … they’re doing it!! They’re doing it!! … also The tank filling and the convo that followed was for sure a nod to the hydro dam part in the game where Joel is like “I know what it is, but I don’t know how it works”
"How would she know that joke....?" Well Adam, I believe Ellie is meant to be 14 in the show and she's been raised in a FEDRA orphanage so she probably heard plenty of adults talk loosely around her 😅
A couple of things: There aren't Starbucks in the QZ, Ellie was just saying she's seen a couple closed down ones and "That's what they used to sell?!" Also, Perry, the second in command of the hunter group, is Tommy's actor from the games!
I don't think anyone is going to breathe in episode 5. This is going to the most chaotic episode of the season. Joel and Ellie, Sam and Henry, the hunters, and the infected all just getting along together in peace i'm sure 🤣
My headcanon on why Kathleen is in charge is that in taking over the QZ, most of the rebel leadership was killed and she was some mid-level rebel shoved into the leadership role
@Tom Fehr no it’s not clearly shown as far as what I can recall, but I imagine she did it (I don’t want to spoil too much for others not familiar with that story)
The best cameos from the game are Jeffrey Pierce who plays Perry and was Tommy's voice actor on the game, and that pun book. I wasn't sure the pun book would make an appearance and here it is sowing the seeds of bonding between Daddy Pedro and his mushroom murder baby.
I don't even remember if Kathleen is in the game, but I love her role! I was watching this episode with my mom and she said: "It's interesting, because she just looks like a regular housewife." And it shows that everyone hardens in this world. Like that could've been my mom in an apocalypse yk
You guys make me so happy. I can’t even tell you how much it helps to watch you when I need a mental pick me up. You’re the opposite of toxic masculinity. I freaking LOVE you!!!!
I am from KC and I agree that they are not representing the city well but I also understand why they used it. And when Adam was talking about staying limber and...lubricated... A lubricated groin. Priceless!
oh wow LION'S CHOICE!! Best Roast Beef sandwiches in the Midwest! Loved this episode, really building their relationship and introducing the many human enemies they'll have!
I am KCK born and raised. Yes, Jay...Kansas City has many fine people and qualities. This episode reminded me of watching The Day After when I was in high school in the '80s. Whether it be a nuclear event or a fungal pandemic, seeing my city buildings serving as the backdrop for an apocalyptic wasteland is devastating. (Mushrooms, mushroom clouds...equal amount of emotional trauma). On a happier side note, Pedro hosting SNL this past week was such a joy! The "trailer" for the HBO Mario Kart series was so fun. I'd watch the heck out of that show! C'mon, HBO...make it happen! And for a further KC tie-in, the Super Bowl wings commercial they did with Pedro sporting Chiefs gear and a Patrick Mahomes jersey made my heart so happy!
If I had to guess what that underground thing is, I would go with the huge fungi monster that was shown in one of the trailers. Sh*t is about to go down, at least the wait wont be as long this time.
Ellie pulled her knife from her bag but then swapped it for her gun offscreen. Luckily we don't have to wait a whole week to see 1x05. HBO has announced that we're getting it on Friday due to the Superbowl.
I'd like to think, Joel was able to relax and fall asleep so he wasn't as alert and wired for sound like he normally is because of that last interaction before he fell asleep😎. Dude probably had not giggled like that in 20 years. Crazy how they have similar scenes in the last couple of episodes and be completely impactful and be completely different. 🤘🔥🤘
Since I have no knowledge of the game, I spent a good chunk of the episode thinking this was one of those scenarios where Henry had long-since died, and was basically just a bogeyman used to whip people up in a frenzy.
Ellie had me cackling this episode. I felt bad for the guy she shot. But I loved seeing her and Joel bond. And I’m interested in learning more about the rebels and Henry and Kathlene’s story. No spoilers I haven’t played the game. I just binged all 4 episodes today because I love Pedro and the show is relevant to today and my field of study. Kinda. And the accessible version of the game comes out on pc in March. Did we get episodes on Saturday and Sunday this week? They mentioned 2 episodes. But man this show is so good!
I like how the ground shaking part in this episode reminds some people of Emergence Day from Gears Of War. I never played them (though I wish) but I know what they mean about "Emergence Day" in that franchise.
I have a feeling that the thing under the floor is the Bloater we keep seeing in the trailers. The shot we see of it is fire in the background and it climbing out of a hole, so my thinking is that the scene that shot is taken from is the QZ Rebels finding out too late that the Bloater is there and trying to kill it with fire, it fails, and climbs out of the floor to kill everyone.
I’ve driven over that blue bridge at least 30 times. It’s the I-70 bridge at Wheeling, WV. And that is exactly what it looks like. Including the surrounding buildings.
That roller-coaster is at worlds of fun. It's a theme park in Kansas City. Rode it many times. It's cool to see KC in a big time thing because you definitely don't see it much.
How much more of a reason does she have to have to hate beyond the fact that she blames him for her brother's death? What do you think happened after Henry ratted on her brother? They gave him a timeout, they took away his fruit snacks?
I love how when after wrecking the truck and they get in that fire fight. The way the enemies curse at Joel sounds just like in the game. I just thought it was neat
As soon as I saw her pull out *THE* joke book I actually threw my fists sky high. And I’m so glad that they added the diarrhea joke because I was afraid they would *run* out of ideas. But seriously, this show is so insanely faithful to the game that it doesn’t feel like a show but almost like an expansion pass/extended cut of the game. Even though I do miss the scene of Joel teaching Ellie how to use a rifle and then saying “No matter what happens, you make every show count” I still love him teaching her how to use the pistol because a) it shows the bond between these two growing and b) it tells the audience that Ellie had some training from FEDRA so her learning quickly feels natural. And now we are getting to see the more human side of the people who were trying to kill Joel and Ellie in Kansas City (instead of Pittsburgh like in the game). Neil Druckman and Craig Mazin said their inspiration came from how throughout history there have been cases where the revolution that usurps a repressive regime becomes just as bad if not worse than the previous regime. Also loved that we got to see Jeffery Pierce (aka Tommy from the games) finally show up in the show as Perry the right hand man of Kathleen.👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I have watched so many reactions to things, but you boys are a,lways my favourite! I joined your channel when there was about 6,000 of us and you were covering Indian film trailers for content, now look at you 2. I’m so, so proud and now Jay is starting his family, well I just love you boys 🍑🍑🍑🍑🍑🍑
yea, I started replaying last of us remastered, and passed the part where tess dies, and they literally just have her try to kill the people that come to the fedra building, trying to trade, and they just kill her, and you see her dead body when leaving the building. on this balcony area above her.
Also, I've just realised. Anyone here played the games? So you know the way Ellie will end up. A lot of people prefer Ellie from the first game rather than second but I don't. In the second game they fixed the ludonarrative dissonance that existed between the plot and the gameplay... Do you know what I mean? And I really like how the show is leaning into that straight away!
While not the best episode, it certainly continued the relationship between Joel and Ellie (which is good). I liked seeing the original voice of Tommy in this. Also, the actress from Yellowjackets as the leader of the Hunters is good casting. Also... Henry and Sam have entered the chat, y'all!!!
![Everything Goes Wrong in The Last of Us 1x4: Please Hold to My Hand [Blind Reaction]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/aTAtl3_bmwM/mqdefault.jpg)
Honestly the actor for Brian did a great job. He was only in it for a scene, but I had chills when he cried out for his Mom :(
@jon smith Oh boy, do I have news for you.
@Danzan Sandeev I love how you completely explained how off-base your opinion is lol. Thanks
I almost felt sorry for him but remembered him choking my Joel and decided nah you should of thought of that before the rampage. But yes great actor!!
As a KC native, I'm really impressed how well they cleaned up our roads for the show.
They shot this in Canada
She states that FEDRA school taught her how to hold a gun so I assumed they taught her how to clear the chamber and handle one as well. I think you missed the part in episode one where Ellie talks about FEDRA teaching orphans like her to be FEDRA soldiers when they grow up. FEDRA was making kid fascists like most authoritarian regimes do.
@Viktor Stagnetti Courses on gun safety and other survivalist skills don't require military school. As recently as 50 years ago public schools all over the US were teaching exactly that. Those are skills farm kids need.
I mean...every school in the apocalypse should be a military school, ideology aside. It's just practical survival skills.
100% team knife Brian. Truly no reason to waste a bullet.
@yep yep 👍 Yeah, there was a whole gunfight leading up to the knifing of Brian. Anyone on that end of town head it as evidenced by the trucks that came driving up a few minutes later.
Agreed
@Robinson Cruz Ramírez🇵🇷 They would have heard it? But they didn't hear the entire gun fight with rifles before that? That podcast sounds bad.
The implication is that Kathleen blames Henry for “snitching” to FEDRA about her brother, which led to him getting beaten to death in a FEDRA cell and Kathleen then spearheading the revolt to take over the QZ. Obviously that’s not the whole story and we’ll probably be hearing about what happened from Henry himself next episode but Kathleen’s so blinded by vengeance, something is going to go SPECTACULARLY tits up.
Given, ya know, the ‘breathing’ floor and what is likely under it
From what I've heard her brother was leading the revolt and after he died she took over by default I guess, bc she's an extraordinarily bad leader.
OMG I was screaming at Adam. She said why she was mad at Henry.
You can see how she landed the job, but also can see why she isn't a long term solution.
Unfortunately for everyone, lots of different forces have aligned themselves to pop up at the same time... Episode 5 is going to be the episode with the most action. It's going to be chaos.
When Kathleen, the merc leader lady, was interrogating the doctor she mentioned that Henry sold out her brother to FEDRA and that got her brother killed so she basically just wants revenge on Henry because of that
@The Al Johnson Show Dang that's a huge age app. One looked like he was in his late 30's and the other looked 8.
@System0f aDowner
I believe she's from Yellowjackets
@John Locke
Brother. Sam is his brother.
@Pitiless Nightmare in the game there is no Kathleen. The Hunters are just mobs of raiders who make life hell for Joel and Ellie. Love that they've given them more depth and the casting for the leader is very interesting. Great actress
Did you notice Joel was sleeping on his good ear when they snuck up on them? That's why he couldn't hear them coming. The attention to detail on this show is just amazing.

It could be nothing but i felt a little of that.
FUN FACT:
The actor who played Kathleen's main henchman, Perry ( Jeffrey Pierce ) in tonight's episode voiced Tommy in the video game.
@Reece Hart His voice was a total give away. I didn't recognize his face, but I 100% heard Tommy when he opened his mouth.
@Danzan Sandeev Yeah it took me a second. When he first was shown I did a double take and thought "Wait I know that guy." It wasn't until he started speaking that it clicked with me.
Huh i didn’t recognise him with a beard
That was the exact same reaction I had to seeing Henry and Sam at the end... they also made Sam quite a bit younger it looks like which gives me an extra "oh no"
@Ben Boat
I bet it's because the actor playing him is deaf himself.
My heart sunk when I first saw him ;_; he looks so little
sam is also deaf in the show
I already started tearing up lol
It’s going to hurt
Why am I crying at Joel apologizing to Ellie? I blame Pedro's performance. He's been SO good.
Seeing Joel stay up all night on watch, all because Ellie was scared...so fucking heartwarming.
Joel is going full Dad mode and I doubt he even realizes it.
The dad jokes were a perfect device to help spark his humanity, allowing him to start to bond with Ellie. His past haunts him so much, and copes by cutting himself off from it.

My exact thought as I saw it too
21:08 that Annie Lennox joke by Jay was fantastic
Kathleen has real Karen energy. She spoke to the "manager" and killed him.
Reel Rejects, Heroes Reforged, and pReview'd are the absolute best. Hands down. Great job!!!
Just in case you guys didn’t know, the next episode drops on Friday due to the Super bowl being on Sunday. Loved the reaction!
It's only on hbo max it will still show on TV on Sunday from what saw
lol they mention that after the reaction :P
Thanks, I didn't know.
Team Knife Brian. I’m with Adam, you don’t waste a bullet. Smart vengeance. 💯
"How would she know that joke....?" Well Adam, I believe Ellie is meant to be 14 in the show and she's been raised in a FEDRA orphanage so she probably heard plenty of adults talk loosely around her 😅
No Brians were harmed in the filming of this episode.
A couple of things:
There aren't Starbucks in the QZ, Ellie was just saying she's seen a couple closed down ones and "That's what they used to sell?!"
Also, Perry, the second in command of the hunter group, is Tommy's actor from the games!
I want to believe that Starbucks survived Outbreak Day, because those stores spread like a fungal infection 😉
Adam was savage this episode 😂
😂 That long lead up to Jay singing while Adam looked so confused was *chefs kiss* 😙🤌🏻
I laughed for like a minute when he started singing broken glass 😂😂
Jay is honestly one of the funniest dudes on youtube.
#teamknifeBrian, #teamSmartVengeance, apparently when Rose couldn't stalk Charlie Sheen she decided to stalk Henry and Sam.
22:15 I think this is what I appreciate most about the series. The longer episodes just allow you to breathe & be in the moment.
@Xavier Arial Triple-Threat match for the ages.
I don't think anyone is going to breathe in episode 5. This is going to the most chaotic episode of the season.
Joel and Ellie, Sam and Henry, the hunters, and the infected all just getting along together in peace i'm sure 🤣
Kathleen said already what happened to her to be in search of Henry: she believes he ratted her brother out to be executed.
My headcanon on why Kathleen is in charge is that in taking over the QZ, most of the rebel leadership was killed and she was some mid-level rebel shoved into the leadership role
17:20 "It wasn't my first time..." That's when I remember THAT happened. Oh the tears...
@Charlie W “That” has to be what Ellie was referencing and if they show it in the flashback episode I’ll probably lose it lol
@Tom Fehr no it’s not clearly shown as far as what I can recall, but I imagine she did it (I don’t want to spoil too much for others not familiar with that story)
we never see Ellie do anything like that in Left Behind so not sure what you mean
Btw, the dude with the white beard finding the pit in the basement is the Actor that played Tommy in the video game :)
As a KC native, so happy to see them change it from Pittsburgh to Kansas City. KC doesn't get as much love as it should.
That Annie Lennox reference was spot on. 👌
I’m a Brian from Kansas City and I approve of this video. Go Chiefs!!!
Joel: "First time you hurt..."
Jay: "a Brian." 😂
The best cameos from the game are Jeffrey Pierce who plays Perry and was Tommy's voice actor on the game, and that pun book. I wasn't sure the pun book would make an appearance and here it is sowing the seeds of bonding between Daddy Pedro and his mushroom murder baby.
I don't even remember if Kathleen is in the game, but I love her role! I was watching this episode with my mom and she said: "It's interesting, because she just looks like a regular housewife." And it shows that everyone hardens in this world. Like that could've been my mom in an apocalypse yk
@Green Apple well, until they become worse
@M That's so cool! I can commend them for overthrowing FEDRA
She was not. None of the hunters here had any depth, so it's nice to see them flesh it out. The overthrowing of Fedra was present in the background.
You guys make me so happy. I can’t even tell you how much it helps to watch you when I need a mental pick me up. You’re the opposite of toxic masculinity. I freaking LOVE you!!!!
👆👆👆thanks for watching
I've Prize for You 🎁🎁🎉
Note:Nicegram🎉🎁🎉🎈
I am from KC and I agree that they are not representing the city well but I also understand why they used it.
And when Adam was talking about staying limber and...lubricated... A lubricated groin. Priceless!
oh wow LION'S CHOICE!! Best Roast Beef sandwiches in the Midwest! Loved this episode, really building their relationship and introducing the many human enemies they'll have!
Padro Pascal is a shoe in for an Emmy this year
I am KCK born and raised. Yes, Jay...Kansas City has many fine people and qualities. This episode reminded me of watching The Day After when I was in high school in the '80s. Whether it be a nuclear event or a fungal pandemic, seeing my city buildings serving as the backdrop for an apocalyptic wasteland is devastating. (Mushrooms, mushroom clouds...equal amount of emotional trauma).
On a happier side note, Pedro hosting SNL this past week was such a joy! The "trailer" for the HBO Mario Kart series was so fun. I'd watch the heck out of that show! C'mon, HBO...make it happen! And for a further KC tie-in, the Super Bowl wings commercial they did with Pedro sporting Chiefs gear and a Patrick Mahomes jersey made my heart so happy!
Just a heads up! The next episode will air on this Friday as the super bowl is on Sunday.
That laugh they share provided me with nuclear powered happiness 😊
Team knife Bryan. You need every bullet you can get in this game. 😆
i wonder why everyone forgot she was raised in a Fedra Base .... LOL
Thank you Jay, for introducing me to the term "passenger princess" because it's 1000% me and I'm definitely sharing it with my husband 😂
If I had to guess what that underground thing is, I would go with the huge fungi monster that was shown in one of the trailers. Sh*t is about to go down, at least the wait wont be as long this time.
Adam: I'm gonna fix it!
Jay: I'm gonna wreck it!
Ellie pulled her knife from her bag but then swapped it for her gun offscreen. Luckily we don't have to wait a whole week to see 1x05. HBO has announced that we're getting it on Friday due to the Superbowl.
20:33 “Hi we’re Apocalypse Knees, we just need one more suggestion to get started…” 😂🤣❤️
I'd like to think, Joel was able to relax and fall asleep so he wasn't as alert and wired for sound like he normally is because of that last interaction before he fell asleep😎. Dude probably had not giggled like that in 20 years. Crazy how they have similar scenes in the last couple of episodes and be completely impactful and be completely different. 🤘🔥🤘
Joel is constantly reminding me of Malcolm Reynolds.
Pedro Pascal reminds me of a combination of Matthew McConaughey, Burt Reynolds, Nathan Fillion, and occasionally my dad. And it WEIRDS me out!
Since I have no knowledge of the game, I spent a good chunk of the episode thinking this was one of those scenarios where Henry had long-since died, and was basically just a bogeyman used to whip people up in a frenzy.
We all have a short time to wait for next episode, ep 5 will air on Friday instead of Sunday.
20 years in this hell there are no normal people anymore. Everybody should be paranoid.
Ellie had me cackling this episode. I felt bad for the guy she shot. But I loved seeing her and Joel bond. And I’m interested in learning more about the rebels and Henry and Kathlene’s story. No spoilers I haven’t played the game. I just binged all 4 episodes today because I love Pedro and the show is relevant to today and my field of study. Kinda. And the accessible version of the game comes out on pc in March. Did we get episodes on Saturday and Sunday this week? They mentioned 2 episodes. But man this show is so good!
"Always look on the bright side of life" (whistle, whistle, whistle)
I like how the ground shaking part in this episode reminds some people of Emergence Day from Gears Of War. I never played them (though I wish) but I know what they mean about "Emergence Day" in that franchise.
Oberon. That's my boy's name suggestion. Even the kids who tease him, by calling him Oberon Kenobi, will realize that he's still kinda cool!
"Operation : Annie Lennox " just destroyed me! Standing Ovation for that one!
Best full episode setup for a poop joke. 🤣
There is something so catchy about the intro. I often find myself singing along... Jay...and Adam...it's.... previewed!
They told you what Henry did right at the beginning when they were introduced
I have a feeling that the thing under the floor is the Bloater we keep seeing in the trailers. The shot we see of it is fire in the background and it climbing out of a hole, so my thinking is that the scene that shot is taken from is the QZ Rebels finding out too late that the Bloater is there and trying to kill it with fire, it fails, and climbs out of the floor to kill everyone.
That Annie Lennox joke had me rolling - well played sir
I’ve driven over that blue bridge at least 30 times. It’s the I-70 bridge at Wheeling, WV. And that is exactly what it looks like. Including the surrounding buildings.
Walking on Broken Glass is a classic bop.
Yay, my favorite peaches. This episode was amazing. Loving seeing Joel and Ellie starting to bond.
I look forward to this almost as much as the episode itself. Happy Monday guys ❤️
That roller-coaster is at worlds of fun. It's a theme park in Kansas City. Rode it many times. It's cool to see KC in a big time thing because you definitely don't see it much.
Yeah, you know where Henry and Sam are in the video game... heading down to Costco now to buy a metric ton of tissues for the next episode.
It's Emergence Day, Adam. Grab your Lancer. Time to slaughter some Locust.
There is no mushrooms in the basement. It is Bowser trying to take over Kansas City in order to lure Mario there with their bad plumbing
We need a compilation of react memes to this series. Sooo many great memeble moments.
Love the D&D references. And I would totally watch The Last Arby's.
...Have we had a workplace comedy set in a zombie apocalypse yet?
Oh no... That means next episode is going to rip our hearts out again huh...
Operation Annie Lennox made me laugh very hard 😂
How much more of a reason does she have to have to hate beyond the fact that she blames him for her brother's death? What do you think happened after Henry ratted on her brother? They gave him a timeout, they took away his fruit snacks?
I love how when after wrecking the truck and they get in that fire fight. The way the enemies curse at Joel sounds just like in the game. I just thought it was neat
I’m team knife Brian too. Amo is in short supply and shooting gives away your position.
Which was something that was confirmed in The Last of Us Podcast.
It’s not just Karen, it’s Mad Max Karen.
As soon as I saw her pull out *THE* joke book I actually threw my fists sky high. And I’m so glad that they added the diarrhea joke because I was afraid they would *run* out of ideas.
But seriously, this show is so insanely faithful to the game that it doesn’t feel like a show but almost like an expansion pass/extended cut of the game. Even though I do miss the scene of Joel teaching Ellie how to use a rifle and then saying “No matter what happens, you make every show count” I still love him teaching her how to use the pistol because a) it shows the bond between these two growing and b) it tells the audience that Ellie had some training from FEDRA so her learning quickly feels natural.
And now we are getting to see the more human side of the people who were trying to kill Joel and Ellie in Kansas City (instead of Pittsburgh like in the game). Neil Druckman and Craig Mazin said their inspiration came from how throughout history there have been cases where the revolution that usurps a repressive regime becomes just as bad if not worse than the previous regime. Also loved that we got to see Jeffery Pierce (aka Tommy from the games) finally show up in the show as Perry the right hand man of Kathleen.👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I'm with Adam here, Team Smart Vengeance and Team Knife Bryan!
Lots of funghi species have huge underground network called a mycelium. It is literally a way in which funghi communicate with plants and trees.
Adam……she might be a child of the apocalypse but she is still a teenager. That is how she made ‘that’ joke
There is nothing wrong with Trevor as a name ADAM….. but I could Jay naming his little boy something like Emerson or Elliot.
Jay looking good today! The color, the fit! Slay!!
Thank you!!
I have watched so many reactions to things, but you boys are a,lways my favourite! I joined your channel when there was about 6,000 of us and you were covering Indian film trailers for content, now look at you 2. I’m so, so proud and now Jay is starting his family, well I just love you boys 🍑🍑🍑🍑🍑🍑
The show decided to cut iowa out of the trip because they had such a wonderful experience it was just too positive for this show.
I Han Solo’d this entire episode. “I’ve got a bad feeling about this…”
Admiral Ackbar was screaming in my ear when I saw/heard that dude say that he needed help.
You guys rock. Always happy when a new video drops! Hope you both had a great, mushroom free weekend!
yea, I started replaying last of us remastered, and passed the part where tess dies, and they literally just have her try to kill the people that come to the fedra building, trying to trade, and they just kill her, and you see her dead body when leaving the building. on this balcony area above her.

One thing I'm taking away from this reaction. I'm gonna keep my groin limber in the apocalypse

I liked seeing the original voice of Tommy in this.
Also, the actress from Yellowjackets as the leader of the Hunters is good casting.
Also... Henry and Sam have entered the chat, y'all!!!
"Life of Brian" ooofff too soon 😂😂🤣
