the last of us except Assad
sick, get it, get it, he's

35
00:02:13,700 --> 00:02:18,400
flustered Man.
Episode 6 skin, Joel and Ellie

36
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,900
travel weeks on Horseback West.
Where they meet spin-off worthy

37
00:02:21,900 --> 00:02:25,100
Marlin in Florence, who warned
them not to cross the river of

38
00:02:25,108 --> 00:02:27,400
death.
They have no choice but to do.

39
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:31,700
So, of course, following a heart
to heart Under the Stars sheep

40
00:02:31,700 --> 00:02:34,300
Ranch.
Anyone they find Tommy in a

41
00:02:34,300 --> 00:02:37,700
beautiful settlement in Jackson,
the brothers are reunited.

42
00:02:37,700 --> 00:02:40,900
And Tommy tells Joel, he's
married to Maria and expecting a

43
00:02:40,900 --> 00:02:43,200
child.
Yay, suffering from panic

44
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:46,500
attacks.
Not yay, Joel can finds it

45
00:02:46,500 --> 00:02:49,300
confides in his brother that he
can't continue with Ellie for

46
00:02:49,300 --> 00:02:52,200
fear of failing.
On her just as Tommy and Ellie

47
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,900
are about to leave.
Joel has a change of heart, they

48
00:02:54,900 --> 00:02:57,600
finally make it to Boulder to
find that the fireflies have

49
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,400
fled only Maze and Raiders
inhabit.

50
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:04,500
The campus defending Ellie Joel
is stabbed and left bleeding in

51
00:03:04,500 --> 00:03:07,300
the snow.
Okay, not just stabbed impaled

52
00:03:07,300 --> 00:03:10,400
with a handle of a baseball bat.
Oh my God.

53
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:14,000
I mean it was not as graphic as
a video game I will just say he

54
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,400
like fell from like two stories
and landed on a giant like

55
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,600
wrought iron Spike.
Oh yeah.

56
00:03:19,700 --> 00:03:21,500
Not great.
She get him over that.

57
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:23,500
We he's like kind of pulled
himself off.

58
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:25,700
It's fine.
Anyway.

59
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:30,800
Spoilers ahead, spoiler.
Spoiler for all of the last of

60
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,900
us and episode 7 Left Behind.
Let us officially take a bite of

61
00:03:34,900 --> 00:03:38,300
The Last of Us episode 7 Left
Behind.

62
00:03:38,300 --> 00:03:40,600
We're in, we're in Tip-Top
moment.

63
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:44,000
Now, know has taken my lines.
I'm just like I'm flustered.

64
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:45,600
I'm flustered, I'm flustered.
Okay.

65
00:03:45,700 --> 00:03:48,700
Yeah, before we were recording
what novel was doing was re

66
00:03:48,700 --> 00:03:52,300
watching the video No game.
Yeah, I guess.

67
00:03:52,300 --> 00:03:57,200
Okay version of this.
So this let me explain.

68
00:03:57,300 --> 00:03:59,700
Please do while also laying the
groundwork.

69
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:03,200
So if you don't know, this
episode takes a step back again.

70
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,600
It's almost like the bill and
Frank, but it interweaves it to

71
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:08,500
the current time very
beautifully.

72
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,900
That this is based on the DLC
for the first video game Left

73
00:04:12,900 --> 00:04:16,500
Behind and it's also, they also
did like an offshoot comic.

74
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:18,600
This is kind of where it was
born from.

75
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,000
Mmm.
So you have two different ways

76
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,700
to get this.
Sorry, so I had played it.

77
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:25,800
When did this come out?
2013.

78
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:30,100
So like I played it years ago
and I'm just children and I was

79
00:04:30,100 --> 00:04:33,200
like, I think there was
something else like at the end

80
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,100
because it how this episode
ends.

81
00:04:35,100 --> 00:04:37,000
I was like, there has to be
something else and I re-watched

82
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:42,500
it and it just got real sad.
Again, it's just as good in the

83
00:04:42,508 --> 00:04:47,100
game as it is the show just
saying it's so sad.

84
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:51,100
And I did you know after last
Night's episode.

85
00:04:51,100 --> 00:04:53,900
I think because you played it
you're a little more attached to

86
00:04:53,900 --> 00:04:55,000
the material.
Oh yeah.

87
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,900
So and watching it.
I kind of felt numb.

88
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,900
Like, that's how I felt at the
end of last night's episode.

89
00:05:01,100 --> 00:05:06,200
I just felt sort of like, oh my
gosh, it's just so sad all the

90
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,400
time.
And so that's, yeah.

91
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,700
That's the last of us.
They can't be happy for too long

92
00:05:12,700 --> 00:05:16,200
because of the world, they live
in, which is unfortunate because

93
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,100
that's how they wrote it, but
that's the property.

94
00:05:19,100 --> 00:05:22,700
I do wish that.
I didn't know major plot points

95
00:05:22,700 --> 00:05:24,800
though.
Like last night, I knew how last

96
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:26,800
night was going to end.
So the entire time I'm going

97
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,400
like, who cares is going to be
so sad.

98
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,000
Anyway, this is why I tell you
to stop spoiling things for

99
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:33,200
yourself.
I'm sorry.

100
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:39,600
I had ten years to be spoiled.
Yeah, yeah, I waited.

101
00:05:40,700 --> 00:05:44,600
But so, this episode is really
interesting because it does tell

102
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,500
Ellie's story.
This is as much of her passes.

103
00:05:47,700 --> 00:05:53,600
We really get in the game.
And interweaves it with Joel

104
00:05:54,100 --> 00:05:57,400
dying and her decision.
So the opening I thought did it

105
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,200
very skillfully and connecting
those two.

106
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:02,900
He's dying.
What does she get?

107
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,100
She's a child.
They're also like in the middle

108
00:06:06,100 --> 00:06:08,500
of nowhere.
She's not a doctor.

109
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:09,700
What did you going to do for
him?

110
00:06:09,700 --> 00:06:13,200
She can't do anything.
So he tells her to leave.

111
00:06:13,300 --> 00:06:15,900
Just go.
What is she gonna do also?

112
00:06:15,900 --> 00:06:18,300
Like, I thought it was
impressive.

113
00:06:18,300 --> 00:06:21,800
I mean, when we last saw them,
he Fell off the horse into the

114
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:23,600
snow.
And so, I liked that in the

115
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:25,700
beginning of this episode, you
can sort of put the clues

116
00:06:25,700 --> 00:06:27,600
together of how she got him
there, right?

117
00:06:27,700 --> 00:06:30,700
They rolled him onto a sleeping
bag, which they dragged behind

118
00:06:30,700 --> 00:06:33,700
the horse and found this random
house and got him all the way

119
00:06:33,700 --> 00:06:37,800
into the basement.
It was just I liked that.

120
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,300
We didn't have to see that part
but we could piece it together.

121
00:06:40,300 --> 00:06:42,500
Yeah.
That's a great visual

122
00:06:42,500 --> 00:06:45,900
storytelling to wear.
Some people like, Derek like to

123
00:06:45,900 --> 00:06:48,400
know like how did you get there?
Because you mentioned it in the

124
00:06:48,407 --> 00:06:50,500
last one, we talked about it.
Like how is she going to To do

125
00:06:50,500 --> 00:06:52,100
this.
They answered it for you.

126
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:53,900
Yeah.
And that horse is just an in

127
00:06:53,900 --> 00:06:58,000
that garage like, geez, Louise.
She starts.

128
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:03,300
She goes to leave because he's
physically pushes her away from

129
00:07:03,300 --> 00:07:05,800
him, which is very upsetting.
And she goes to leave.

130
00:07:05,900 --> 00:07:10,000
And in that Split Second,
hesitation that she has, she has

131
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:14,100
like a whole life in a minute.
She remembers this the story

132
00:07:14,100 --> 00:07:17,000
with Riley that led right to the
events of the current story that

133
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,700
we're at.
I really liked seeing Federer

134
00:07:20,700 --> 00:07:24,400
school.
It was very interesting, but did

135
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,100
you think what we saw was what
you expect to like?

136
00:07:27,100 --> 00:07:28,800
Did you expect it to be like
that?

137
00:07:28,900 --> 00:07:33,100
I kept trying to piece together
how it came to be, did a school

138
00:07:33,100 --> 00:07:37,200
like this, like due to Federal
really didn't exist before

139
00:07:38,100 --> 00:07:41,600
anything spread know.
So they just took over some

140
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:45,800
other school and made it a
federal training school possibly

141
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:47,500
if that even is a school.
Yeah.

142
00:07:47,500 --> 00:07:51,800
So Abbi Be like a YMCA or yeah.
So when you think of I think

143
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,000
when you think of like military
training you think of like

144
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,900
barracks and things like that,
but here we see that it was just

145
00:07:57,900 --> 00:08:00,200
a regular looked like a high
school right?

146
00:08:00,300 --> 00:08:02,500
You know.
So I think it was like

147
00:08:02,500 --> 00:08:05,300
surprising in that sense of the
government taking whatever they

148
00:08:05,300 --> 00:08:06,900
can to make these training
areas.

149
00:08:06,900 --> 00:08:10,800
Hmm.
Well I will say that it is like

150
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:14,000
the The Faculty or the principle
I should say.

151
00:08:15,100 --> 00:08:17,400
What's his like director Quang
Captain.

152
00:08:17,700 --> 00:08:18,400
Yeah.
Captain.

153
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:23,000
Okay, sir director Captain.
It's the same thing is nicer in

154
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,400
this than in the comic that it
came from there.

155
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:29,300
Very much more military and like
drill sergeant e and also just

156
00:08:29,300 --> 00:08:32,799
assholes.
But I like that, this show is

157
00:08:32,799 --> 00:08:39,100
making a point to not like
really say fed Rose bad.

158
00:08:39,100 --> 00:08:42,700
We've seen it.
But also not saying fireflies

159
00:08:42,700 --> 00:08:44,600
are good.
And so it's like what side is

160
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,000
good or bad, but they're not
really painting the picture as a

161
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:47,900
distinct.
This is good.

162
00:08:48,100 --> 00:08:49,200
This is bad.
That's, you know.

163
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,200
So it's interesting to see it
that way.

164
00:08:51,300 --> 00:08:54,500
I think it's a story of people,
right?

165
00:08:54,500 --> 00:08:57,100
And so, in both sides, you're
probably going to find good

166
00:08:57,100 --> 00:09:00,100
people, and you're going to find
bad people and actually, where

167
00:09:00,300 --> 00:09:04,300
where Elly was, was with a good
person, a person that believed

168
00:09:04,300 --> 00:09:07,400
in her, you know, and there's,
again, there's little Clues

169
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,600
around his office, right?
We see that he has the framed

170
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:13,000
photo of his family and we have
to wonder, are they still

171
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:14,300
around?
Probably?

172
00:09:14,300 --> 00:09:16,100
Not probably not.
There was an amusement park in

173
00:09:16,108 --> 00:09:18,300
the background.
And I don't think, right, And

174
00:09:18,300 --> 00:09:22,000
and Napoli still develop film
now, you know, probably not.

175
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,200
So this man is dealt with his
own losses and might be seeing

176
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,600
Ellie as a kid.
She tends to walk into people's

177
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:31,200
lives and they want to take care
of her because they can see this

178
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:35,200
like spirit and her.
So I think we were expecting,

179
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:36,700
right?
We were expecting this to be a

180
00:09:36,700 --> 00:09:40,600
really bad place but it felt
like high school gym with a high

181
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:42,800
school bully and a principle
that cares.

182
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,400
Fucking Bethany's.
The Bethany's suck.

183
00:09:45,500 --> 00:09:47,900
Bethany like, leave her alone.
She probably has the only

184
00:09:48,100 --> 00:09:51,600
Actioning Walkman in existence
and you're gonna take your car.

185
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,600
Last two batteries, don't do
this.

186
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:56,600
My God.
I mean, we do have to also say

187
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,100
about how they have electricity
there as well.

188
00:09:59,100 --> 00:10:00,800
Not the best working.
I mean, the lights were

189
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:02,300
flickering.
It was a bit of a strobe light

190
00:10:02,300 --> 00:10:06,400
but, you know, the government
has be able to ration, its its

191
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:11,000
resources, the confrontation
that Ellie has with Bethenny, I

192
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,800
found it.
Gave us some hint again of who

193
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:17,100
Riley is like we've heard the
name before we kind of got a

194
00:10:17,100 --> 00:10:18,300
little pieces of it.
It.

195
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:21,500
But still, we haven't really
been introduced to her yet and I

196
00:10:21,500 --> 00:10:26,000
like that this moment really
showed that like whoever Ellie

197
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:30,100
like loves or cares for like you
don't you don't talk about them.

198
00:10:30,300 --> 00:10:33,200
Like it's showing that like a
base value before she got bitten

199
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:35,700
before, she really got
catapulted into the story.

200
00:10:35,700 --> 00:10:39,300
Like that's who she is and it
stayed there and she also met

201
00:10:39,300 --> 00:10:41,800
Bethany get 15 stitches which is
amazing.

202
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:46,300
Yeah she's a she's a fierce
spirit and One of the things

203
00:10:46,300 --> 00:10:48,600
that happens though, in this
talk with Bethany is that

204
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:52,700
Bethany says, oh, your friend is
the one who would do something.

205
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,200
So it almost feels like, like
Riley.

206
00:10:56,700 --> 00:10:59,700
I don't know, like embedded
something or brought something

207
00:10:59,700 --> 00:11:02,600
out in Ellie that wasn't
necessarily.

208
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:06,000
They're all at all the time.
No, I don't know.

209
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:07,500
I just think it's it's
interesting.

210
00:11:07,500 --> 00:11:10,200
That Ellie is like this person
that people look to, but she

211
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:13,800
might not have been as Fierce as
she is now, when we meet her in

212
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:15,300
this story, right?
Yeah.

213
00:11:15,700 --> 00:11:19,500
She had to go through some
bullshit to get to where she is.

214
00:11:19,900 --> 00:11:25,000
But this this really does it
leads into the main story.

215
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:28,300
So when we finally get to see
one her bedroom, which was cool

216
00:11:28,300 --> 00:11:31,900
because we got to see all of the
posters in the things that she

217
00:11:31,900 --> 00:11:34,600
has around her room of things
that she loves, but she might

218
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:38,800
not ever actually experienced
until Riley, has some play into

219
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,700
it, but I loved seeing her
bedroom and I love that there

220
00:11:41,700 --> 00:11:44,500
was not going to spoil anything,
but there was some Easter eggs

221
00:11:44,500 --> 00:11:46,700
from the and game in there as
well.

222
00:11:46,700 --> 00:11:49,800
It's so it shows a through line
that she has always liked

223
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,800
dinosaurs, guys.
She's always like space, not to

224
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,100
mention.
She had the first volume of the

225
00:11:55,100 --> 00:11:56,200
pun book.
Yes.

226
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,400
The first one, not the second
one, right?

227
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:01,400
So she's, I mean, puns are just
part of her.

228
00:12:01,500 --> 00:12:03,900
Yeah, yeah, they're amazing
storm.

229
00:12:03,900 --> 00:12:09,200
Reed comes onto the scene.
These two, I mean, if anything,

230
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:12,200
from this show, you should take
away.

231
00:12:13,100 --> 00:12:17,500
They are so good at acting.
They're so young and their

232
00:12:17,500 --> 00:12:21,200
forces to be reckoned with, with
this, they're acting ability.

233
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:25,000
It's just so to have somebody
that is around the same age as

234
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:32,400
Ellie come in there and have to
be in the same scene as her this

235
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,400
far into the the first season
after we've been with Ellie for

236
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:37,900
so long.
She really Had to steal it and I

237
00:12:37,900 --> 00:12:40,400
feel like storm read really
knocked it out of the park.

238
00:12:40,700 --> 00:12:43,500
Yeah, she did a fantastic job.
You know, there's there's

239
00:12:43,500 --> 00:12:46,700
something to be said about when
you are a character.

240
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:51,200
And I feel like this is sort of
the same thing with with the

241
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,200
actor that played goals
daughter.

242
00:12:53,500 --> 00:12:56,300
You have to be this character
that only appears for one

243
00:12:56,300 --> 00:13:00,300
episode, but has to mean so
much, unfortunately, to the

244
00:13:00,300 --> 00:13:03,200
other character.
Yeah, you're with and so that's

245
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,400
a big job for storm.
Read to have to come in like

246
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:11,200
this, This is the person that
liked was the reason why we know

247
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:14,200
about Ellie, right?
Like, she had to be that person.

248
00:13:14,300 --> 00:13:18,100
Yeah, I mean, this is this is
Ellie, Sarah, yeah, yeah.

249
00:13:18,100 --> 00:13:22,000
Oh my God, the the connections
between like, there's just so

250
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:25,900
much to so many similarities
between Joel and Ellie and this

251
00:13:25,900 --> 00:13:30,200
is where we really see.
They're so similar and they just

252
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:33,400
need to like just get there they
do in this episode.

253
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:37,100
Like finally, there's finally
like that connection Almost

254
00:13:37,100 --> 00:13:41,200
dying.
Whoo, sometimes you know like it

255
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:45,400
takes a big kick in the ass.
You need to like see something

256
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,500
for me.
On the other hand I'm a person

257
00:13:47,500 --> 00:13:50,700
that all is between, you know,
you and my emotions is a trench

258
00:13:50,700 --> 00:13:52,100
coat.
Oh God.

259
00:13:52,700 --> 00:13:58,600
Yes. 100% like guys, just let
your guard down, just talk to

260
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:02,100
each other but absolutely not.
Yeah, I probably fall more into

261
00:14:02,100 --> 00:14:04,000
the Ellie and Joel Camp there.
Sure.

262
00:14:04,900 --> 00:14:07,300
Except when I'm talking about
the show, Joe and I'm just so

263
00:14:07,300 --> 00:14:12,800
sad and emotional crying in the
office, but so we get the rest

264
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:16,000
of this episode is just so much
fun.

265
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:20,600
It's full of like, innocence and
wonder and first love and, you

266
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:22,400
know, sexual Awakening and
stuff.

267
00:14:22,500 --> 00:14:27,600
It's just so well done, they
told, another queer story,

268
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,100
beautifully.
Hmm.

269
00:14:29,300 --> 00:14:32,700
And the great thing about it is,
that's how it was told,

270
00:14:32,700 --> 00:14:37,100
originally they added to it in
fleshed it out a little Or but

271
00:14:37,500 --> 00:14:40,600
the fact that you know, ten
years ago, we did get something

272
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:42,900
like this.
I'm just so happy that people

273
00:14:42,900 --> 00:14:46,200
are like seeing what video games
and stuff like that.

274
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:50,200
Other media could possibly be.
I mean in seven episodes of the

275
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,200
show.
The two main love stories we've

276
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,200
seen where both queer.
Yeah.

277
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:57,700
And I mean we can't speak to
Tess and Joel I mean they

278
00:14:57,700 --> 00:14:59,800
probably were but we'll never
know.

279
00:14:59,900 --> 00:15:03,000
I mean, we saw them.
We saw him.

280
00:15:03,100 --> 00:15:04,900
Be the little spoon to her big
spoon.

281
00:15:04,900 --> 00:15:08,800
I mean, that was all we got, he
was strong run.

282
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:10,100
Was he not?
Yeah.

283
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:13,600
You see with dark times dark
times but seeing them jump on

284
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,300
the roof getting to the mall.
It's so good.

285
00:15:16,300 --> 00:15:20,100
I love the extra detail of
there's an in game mechanic

286
00:15:20,100 --> 00:15:22,200
whenever you have your
flashlight and it's one of the

287
00:15:22,208 --> 00:15:26,000
ones we have to like shake or
bat to like charge up or get it

288
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,000
to work.
I just love that little deep.

289
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,900
Like hate, keep throwing like
some game mechanics in here that

290
00:15:31,300 --> 00:15:35,100
is just it, just pleases me like
when Joel Chokehold did that guy

291
00:15:35,300 --> 00:15:37,800
that ended up stabbing him?
Just like the game.

292
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,400
Yeah, the way he held them and
like, I felt like my son was

293
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:44,500
pressing, 0 are the whole time
just so good, so many details.

294
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:47,800
But before they get to the mall,
we have this scene and one of

295
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:49,900
the apartment buildings where
they find.

296
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:51,700
All my God, I forgot the dead
guy.

297
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:53,300
Yeah.
You know who I mean?

298
00:15:53,500 --> 00:15:59,200
He the clues put it together.
Is that he took his own life but

299
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:03,900
like lose a fresh giant bottle
of like whiskey or something

300
00:16:03,900 --> 00:16:06,400
like that moonshine.
What do you fell to the floor?

301
00:16:06,500 --> 00:16:08,200
Floor.
That was so scary.

302
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,900
Yeah, do it actually begs.
The question of.

303
00:16:10,900 --> 00:16:16,800
So he had pills there were in a
bag de Joel, sell them to him

304
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,100
like his.
Is that a connection there?

305
00:16:20,100 --> 00:16:21,800
I mean who else is selling pills
like that.

306
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:23,700
Maybe I'll be somebody else but
we know.

307
00:16:23,700 --> 00:16:26,500
Joel did do that.
He's a Smuggler.

308
00:16:26,500 --> 00:16:31,900
So interesting interesting, but
that scene is actually I want to

309
00:16:31,900 --> 00:16:34,400
talk about that saying a little
bit because I feel like aside

310
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:37,700
from like it's a very like I do.
Stand By Me thing where it's

311
00:16:37,700 --> 00:16:40,100
like, kids seeing a dead body
for the first time.

312
00:16:40,100 --> 00:16:43,500
We do find out that Riley.
I actually saw her parents died

313
00:16:43,900 --> 00:16:46,200
so she has a different
relationship with death and

314
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:49,900
violence.
Then Ellie has so to see, Ellie

315
00:16:50,100 --> 00:16:54,600
like approach the body, without
any like this, like because if I

316
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:58,400
mean, if I would have seen that,
I probably wouldn't go near it.

317
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:00,700
Be like it's affected, all
right, the, I don't want to, or

318
00:17:00,900 --> 00:17:03,400
before I will fall, apparently
gets it right?

319
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:05,599
Do it right down, right?
Right there.

320
00:17:05,700 --> 00:17:09,000
So it was an interesting.
Resting, same because I do you

321
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:13,599
remember the same where she cut
the infected you know head open

322
00:17:13,599 --> 00:17:17,200
a little bit and you know I
called her a little, you know

323
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:21,400
psychopath it's like I don't
want to say like she still is

324
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:25,800
but like she's she has these
moments of like just not.

325
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:29,100
It hasn't connected for her yet
because she's born in this

326
00:17:29,100 --> 00:17:30,000
world.
She's erased.

327
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:34,000
Apocalyptic child, she hasn't
experienced loss.

328
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:38,400
She has nobody connected It to
her like that she's fearless

329
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,000
right?
In a sense, she's had nothing.

330
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,900
I guess that's a better word
than psychotic.

331
00:17:42,900 --> 00:17:44,800
It was like, okay, yeah,
psychopath.

332
00:17:44,900 --> 00:17:47,200
I think she's fearless, because,
like, you're saying, because she

333
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:51,100
grew up in this world, she
doesn't almost, she's had noted,

334
00:17:51,100 --> 00:17:53,200
no attachments to anyone or
anything.

335
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:58,300
So, she's never had to grieve.
She's never had real loss until

336
00:17:58,300 --> 00:18:02,900
this episode, but we, she
doesn't have to fear these

337
00:18:02,900 --> 00:18:04,800
things because she's never
experienced them before.

338
00:18:04,900 --> 00:18:06,800
Yeah, seeing a body is just
seeing a body.

339
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:08,700
And there's also probably
knowing that taught her like,

340
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:11,500
oh, when someone dies, you know,
you mourn them and I don't know,

341
00:18:11,500 --> 00:18:13,000
they just throw on the fire.
Yeah.

342
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:17,400
So her world is completely
shaped her and and I also think

343
00:18:17,700 --> 00:18:20,400
you know with with Riley having
loss in her life and seeing her

344
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:24,300
parents died.
I think that this is also what's

345
00:18:24,300 --> 00:18:27,200
driving them in these two
different directions, right?

346
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,300
Riley's looking more for
Community.

347
00:18:29,500 --> 00:18:32,800
Well, he's sort of just looking
for a clearer path for herself

348
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:34,700
to like leadership or something
or something.

349
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:36,700
Yeah, anything.
I mean she's really She's

350
00:18:36,700 --> 00:18:38,700
Clinging On to the things that
are hers.

351
00:18:38,700 --> 00:18:42,500
She doesn't, I mean, what is
somebody in this Last of Us?

352
00:18:42,500 --> 00:18:45,700
World have you?
Most of them don't have family,

353
00:18:45,700 --> 00:18:48,200
if they do that's great.
Have a Walkman with his that's

354
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,500
right.
And so like the visceral

355
00:18:50,500 --> 00:18:53,900
reaction, she had to Bethany
taking it from her like that's

356
00:18:53,900 --> 00:18:56,100
hers.
That's her possession.

357
00:18:56,100 --> 00:18:58,900
That's her whole world.
So it makes sense.

358
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,600
Yeah, out of like the four
things that she owns but anyway

359
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:03,600
most of the things you owns are
just posters.

360
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,500
It's a yeah, posters and all
comic book a knife and The

361
00:19:06,500 --> 00:19:10,300
Walkman same comic book over and
over same 10.

362
00:19:10,300 --> 00:19:13,000
Yeah as a comic book reader that
would drive me crazy.

363
00:19:13,100 --> 00:19:16,600
Never knowing what happens.
Next my God or just like smack

364
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:19,900
dab in the middle of a story.
No no thank you.

365
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,200
So it takes the mask off but
you'll never know who is under

366
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:31,100
the man, the mall the mall that
has five but originally for

367
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:36,000
writers, revise 25.
This ksenia Sarita.

368
00:19:36,900 --> 00:19:41,700
That Director of Photography
that did this is this episode.

369
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,700
It's so they built this whole
Mall.

370
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:50,000
Hmm, But the way that this was
shot, it was it was just good.

371
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,400
Like it was just so like
nostalgic it felt normal but

372
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,100
also like didn't feel normal
because of the setting of

373
00:19:56,100 --> 00:19:58,200
everything it was just
beautiful.

374
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:03,600
I loved the the eyes of wonder
that she had whenever Riley

375
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,500
turned on all the lights to the
mall and just how it Just a

376
00:20:06,500 --> 00:20:11,000
flood of colour came into a very
dark, and beige and gray World.

377
00:20:11,300 --> 00:20:14,000
There were kind of used to so
good so so good.

378
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,100
Yeah.
And the set like you're saying

379
00:20:16,100 --> 00:20:18,000
is just so fantastic.
So spot-on.

380
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:21,800
Anytime they walked past a story
you knew exactly what store was

381
00:20:22,100 --> 00:20:24,400
a secret.
I guess there's is this

382
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:26,800
considered product placement.
I don't know Victoria's Secrets.

383
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:30,100
The Gap Bath and Body Works.
Is it if half of the letters of

384
00:20:30,100 --> 00:20:33,500
fallen off of the logo and
works.

385
00:20:33,500 --> 00:20:37,200
Yeah, so probably not Or just
app.

386
00:20:37,300 --> 00:20:39,300
They don't have to.
They have to pay nothing.

387
00:20:39,900 --> 00:20:41,000
I guess.
I don't know.

388
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,100
Or maybe they're just like,
thanks for putting it in this

389
00:20:43,100 --> 00:20:45,500
really great.
Oh, the the number one show in

390
00:20:45,500 --> 00:20:46,400
the world.
Thank you.

391
00:20:46,500 --> 00:20:49,800
Yeah, we'll take it the gaps
like well we're you want more

392
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:50,900
Cargoes?
We got them.

393
00:20:50,900 --> 00:20:55,700
Yeah, the world but I you know,
I was it made me feel nostalgic

394
00:20:55,700 --> 00:20:58,000
from all life.
Did you have a mall life?

395
00:20:58,100 --> 00:21:02,000
No, you weren't a mall guy?
Still not, ah, I never care for

396
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,500
Miles, that's so sad.
I just, I mean, I'll go into him

397
00:21:04,500 --> 00:21:06,100
but I know exactly where I need
to go.

398
00:21:06,300 --> 00:21:09,300
So what story need to do?
I'm not like occasionally.

399
00:21:09,300 --> 00:21:11,700
I'll be like, okay, let's walk
around since we already came

400
00:21:11,700 --> 00:21:15,100
here for the one thing we were
to got, but I don't know.

401
00:21:15,100 --> 00:21:17,500
I just never, I didn't grow them
all torture.

402
00:21:17,500 --> 00:21:21,100
I was a military brat.
So, like, our mall was the PX R

403
00:21:21,100 --> 00:21:22,300
BX.
Mmm.

404
00:21:22,300 --> 00:21:25,300
The commissary like, yeah, I
understand that.

405
00:21:25,300 --> 00:21:28,400
I mean, I grew up in New York.
I grew up in Queens.

406
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:30,600
So, malls were a huge part of my
life.

407
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:33,200
You can go there after high
school and when I was little, I

408
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:35,600
mean, that's what you did.
You went to the KB Toys store,

409
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:38,400
you went to the Restore.
You went and played in the

410
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:41,100
arcade, you know, and then you
bought some stuff, you really

411
00:21:41,100 --> 00:21:43,300
didn't need.
So I completely got that.

412
00:21:43,300 --> 00:21:46,000
Like, wow, this place is
amazing, even when you're

413
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:47,400
little, it's just so exciting
for me.

414
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:48,900
It was always so exciting to go
to the mall.

415
00:21:48,900 --> 00:21:50,400
Well, they also never
experienced it.

416
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:54,400
They've heard about it.
So, like, to be a person that

417
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:58,600
has always heard of these things
and has Media or whatever people

418
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:03,300
telling you from before of how
things were And experiencing it

419
00:22:03,300 --> 00:22:08,600
kind of was actually a great
gift that Riley gave Ali because

420
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:12,800
if Riley didn't do it and nobody
was gonna do it, I do feel bad

421
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:16,600
that they would never have
experienced Cinnabon which is

422
00:22:16,700 --> 00:22:18,600
one of the greatest experiences
on Earth.

423
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:22,200
They probably could have.
I think that stuff goes bad, 20

424
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:23,100
years.
That's fine.

425
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:25,500
My 20 year old cinnamon roll.
It's fine.

426
00:22:25,500 --> 00:22:28,600
It's in the tube possibly, it's
fine.

427
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,300
Oh wait no flower yeah that's
probably where the cordyceps

428
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:34,100
It's spread.
So no, let's not do that.

429
00:22:34,100 --> 00:22:37,600
Deadly and not just for your
Didact digestive tract anymore.

430
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:39,500
Phone now just taken over your
brain.

431
00:22:39,500 --> 00:22:43,300
Yeah, I shouldn't have gone to
the mall and had that set of too

432
00:22:43,300 --> 00:22:48,400
late but throughout this whole
episode we see you know, these

433
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:51,400
looks that are exchanged between
both of them.

434
00:22:51,500 --> 00:22:55,100
We see kind of these brushes,
these touches these longing,

435
00:22:55,100 --> 00:22:57,600
looks at a, almost hold on, for
too long.

436
00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:00,700
They almost region, you know,
Riley, whenever they're in front

437
00:23:00,700 --> 00:23:02,900
of the Victorious.
It's tour and Riley's like, oh,

438
00:23:02,900 --> 00:23:07,100
I'm just like imagining you in
that and it's a joke but she's

439
00:23:07,100 --> 00:23:09,000
kind of testing the waters a
little bit.

440
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:10,900
They're both the.
It what's really funny is

441
00:23:10,900 --> 00:23:13,400
they're both like half liquid
courage so that big bottle of

442
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:17,500
moonshine or Hooch or whatever
they sip it periodically and I

443
00:23:17,500 --> 00:23:18,900
think it's to their benefit
almost.

444
00:23:18,900 --> 00:23:21,100
Absolutely.
Because they're like, I don't

445
00:23:21,100 --> 00:23:24,300
know where this is going, but
like I need to muster something

446
00:23:24,300 --> 00:23:25,600
up.
I need to like, be kind of

447
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:29,500
comfortable in this.
It's in, in comparing this

448
00:23:29,500 --> 00:23:33,100
episode to the bill and Frank.
Road, they still share some of

449
00:23:33,100 --> 00:23:36,300
those same beats, right?
Of two people coming together,

450
00:23:36,500 --> 00:23:39,600
feeling unsure about maybe their
feelings and and if the other

451
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:43,100
one shares it but in this one,
it's a lot more sweet.

452
00:23:43,100 --> 00:23:47,000
Obviously.
I think that, you know, no

453
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:51,400
matter where if you're queer or
straight or whatever, that the

454
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:53,900
feeling of a crush is the same
across the board.

455
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:57,400
So these are just two teenagers
that are feeling those feelings

456
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:00,000
and I think anyone can reminisce
about that.

457
00:24:00,100 --> 00:24:05,000
Yeah, I will say that. at, I do
like that they show and I think

458
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,700
there is a through line and I
think it is similar no matter

459
00:24:07,700 --> 00:24:12,600
what, your sexual orientation
is, or what you identify as I

460
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:15,600
think, you know, trying to see
if that person has the crush on

461
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:18,600
you, but then there's that added
layer especially when you're in

462
00:24:19,500 --> 00:24:24,100
a lgbtq.
You don't know that is this

463
00:24:24,100 --> 00:24:26,300
okay?
Because if they don't it's

464
00:24:26,300 --> 00:24:29,300
awful, not only does because,
you know, a friendship could

465
00:24:29,300 --> 00:24:33,000
possibly survive if it's between
a male and a female or opposite

466
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:37,100
sex Whenever it's the same sex,
it's a little scarier because

467
00:24:37,100 --> 00:24:40,900
you usually start as best
friends and then if it does not

468
00:24:40,900 --> 00:24:44,400
work there's a lot more kind of
writing all that.

469
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:47,300
I mean when you're 14 you're not
going to be surrounded.

470
00:24:47,300 --> 00:24:50,000
You can't like you know and a
lot of times if you can find an

471
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,400
lgbtq Center that's fantastic.
But a lot of times you're in

472
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:55,200
school by yourself feeling like
the odd one out.

473
00:24:55,300 --> 00:24:57,000
I don't think Phaedra has one of
those.

474
00:24:57,100 --> 00:25:00,300
No, they don't reach Italy.
They don't have, you know, fun

475
00:25:00,300 --> 00:25:04,000
Friday nights for the.
No, no not at all.

476
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:08,500
So It was it was sweet and it
was real and it was great that

477
00:25:08,500 --> 00:25:12,000
they added those moments in here
of them just kind of looking to

478
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,200
each other and specifically on
the carousel.

479
00:25:14,700 --> 00:25:17,300
When you know, they're on the
Carousel and they're just

480
00:25:17,300 --> 00:25:19,600
they're looking at each other
but then Ellie look really

481
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:21,900
starts.
Looking at her and you can see

482
00:25:21,900 --> 00:25:25,800
that she's kind of like putting
these feelings together a little

483
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:29,300
bit and like she's doing all of
this for me, right?

484
00:25:29,300 --> 00:25:33,600
Like just for me yes.
You know there's also that thing

485
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:37,600
right where Kind of like am I
looking into it too much?

486
00:25:37,700 --> 00:25:40,200
Right, you know, and I think
she's feeling that emotion as

487
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:41,900
well.
It's like she also doesn't want

488
00:25:41,900 --> 00:25:45,400
to get her own hopes up that it
means more because maybe my

489
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:50,800
friend just came back but it is
that sort of uneasy feeling, but

490
00:25:50,900 --> 00:25:54,600
at the same time, you're
watching Ellie, get excited.

491
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:55,300
Yeah.
Yeah.

492
00:25:55,300 --> 00:25:58,200
I think it's you you brought up
a point that I think we should

493
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:02,200
talk about before we go any
further and It's Riley deciding

494
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:07,200
to join the fireflies and we get
her version of why she did that

495
00:26:07,300 --> 00:26:10,700
in a conversation with them and
it turns out that she was going

496
00:26:10,700 --> 00:26:14,400
to be put on like scheuer Duty
or something super duty.

497
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:18,100
Which why?
I mean cool like what do you

498
00:26:18,300 --> 00:26:19,900
that's it?
Like that's what you're going to

499
00:26:19,900 --> 00:26:23,600
be like, you know, that's what
you're going to do for your life

500
00:26:24,300 --> 00:26:28,000
at 16.
Last week, I don't blame her for

501
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,700
trying to find something else
and they found her there.

502
00:26:30,900 --> 00:26:34,200
Like I like what you do you have
a purpose you could do this now,

503
00:26:35,500 --> 00:26:38,700
right?
Will I say it's a good purpose

504
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:41,400
or is it being used in a certain
way?

505
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:45,000
Well to me it even feels
predatory, right?

506
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,100
Yeah.
Marlene is waiting in the

507
00:26:47,100 --> 00:26:49,500
shadows, somewhere going.
Oh hey, you're really good at

508
00:26:49,500 --> 00:26:51,500
sneaking around.
Have you ever thought of maybe

509
00:26:51,500 --> 00:26:54,900
joining another blah blah blah?
So it feels like a not to say

510
00:26:54,900 --> 00:26:57,900
that Riley doesn't have those
talents but or Merlin was

511
00:26:57,900 --> 00:27:02,100
necessarily being predatory but
it feels like I'm a group and

512
00:27:02,100 --> 00:27:03,400
I'm trying to get people to join
it.

513
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:06,500
I mean that's why some people in
the qz sort of the fireflies as

514
00:27:06,500 --> 00:27:08,000
a cult, right?
Right.

515
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:09,300
You know.
So those are coming out of the

516
00:27:09,300 --> 00:27:11,400
Shadows, right?
Like, hey, right, and you're

517
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:13,500
seeing it.
Take these bottoms actionable.

518
00:27:13,500 --> 00:27:15,500
Yeah.
So I'll look, you could stay in

519
00:27:15,500 --> 00:27:17,400
the mall.
Yeah.

520
00:27:17,500 --> 00:27:21,800
So it felt kind of icky to me,
but I think the point is though

521
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:24,900
is that Riley needed someone to
say that to her.

522
00:27:24,900 --> 00:27:26,600
Yeah.
And she sees.

523
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:30,100
So we get the impression that
they've talked about doing this

524
00:27:30,100 --> 00:27:32,200
type of stuff like, Talking
about what the fireflies are

525
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:35,200
doing or talking about
Liberation or rebelling and

526
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:37,300
Ellie makes a point to say
there's a difference between

527
00:27:37,300 --> 00:27:40,100
like talking about it and
actually doing it.

528
00:27:40,700 --> 00:27:44,400
So it's it's interesting to see
those beliefs kind of clash.

529
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,400
Yeah.
Also LED being a little more

530
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:50,800
reserved because she had that
conversation with the captain

531
00:27:51,100 --> 00:27:55,500
and he's pretty much telling her
like look if we don't hold this

532
00:27:55,500 --> 00:27:59,200
together, it's gonna go to shit
and we saw what happened in

533
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:03,300
Kansas City and he's Wrong.
No, and I think there's also

534
00:28:03,300 --> 00:28:05,500
something to be said about
again.

535
00:28:05,500 --> 00:28:08,400
They're going, they're going
down these Divergent paths,

536
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:10,000
right?
And so Ellie is still very

537
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:13,800
solidly in the federal training
program, where they probably

538
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:17,300
have lectures about fireflies
and how to not trust them and

539
00:28:17,300 --> 00:28:20,700
propaganda means, right?
But then Riley goes, and she's

540
00:28:20,700 --> 00:28:23,200
almost been deprogrammed for the
last three weeks.

541
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:28,500
So again there it's hard because
they love each other and they

542
00:28:28,500 --> 00:28:31,600
want to come together, but
they've been Separated for these

543
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:32,600
last three weeks.
So it does.

544
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:35,400
The puzzle piece doesn't fit
together as well as it used to

545
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:38,100
hmm between the two of them.
Well, they're almost figuring

546
00:28:38,100 --> 00:28:40,400
each other.
It's being reintroduced to a new

547
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:42,200
person.
I'm sure Riley is a little

548
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:44,100
different to her.
I mean, she has a whole, you

549
00:28:44,100 --> 00:28:47,600
know shelving unit of bombs at
the Orange Julius of the taco

550
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:49,800
place or whatever that was Macho
Nacho.

551
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:55,500
I might do nothing.
But so this this episode adds an

552
00:28:55,500 --> 00:28:59,000
extra layer of music.
I think that this is the first

553
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,600
episode where we have multiple
Both songs that seemed like they

554
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:06,600
were purposely chosen for
reasons.

555
00:29:07,300 --> 00:29:10,100
I did like that.
There was one that played during

556
00:29:10,100 --> 00:29:13,400
the Carousel and you couldn't
really hear too much over the

557
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:17,000
Carousel music and also Riley,
and Ellie talking.

558
00:29:17,300 --> 00:29:20,300
But they did a remix of the
cures Just Like Heaven and it's

559
00:29:20,300 --> 00:29:22,100
just that song.
If you haven't heard it, it's

560
00:29:22,108 --> 00:29:25,800
great, but it talks about
holding her hand and kissing her

561
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:28,700
and wanting to do that.
So, the music in the background

562
00:29:28,700 --> 00:29:32,200
is almost like giving you those
Extra hints or almost like,

563
00:29:32,300 --> 00:29:36,200
saying with the characters have
in their mind, it's just, it's

564
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:37,700
good.
This little details that they

565
00:29:37,700 --> 00:29:40,800
chose nice episode.
The team here, they're not

566
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:42,900
playing any games with what
they're doing.

567
00:29:42,900 --> 00:29:46,000
I feel like everything they do.
Has a very clear Point purpose

568
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:49,200
to it and I think that those
song Choices were just spot-on.

569
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:50,000
Yeah.
Yeah.

570
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:54,200
The the Take On Me by the aha's,
one of my favorite songs, one of

571
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:57,000
Ellie's favorite songs.
So I mean it's just it makes

572
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:58,800
sense that we like each other so
much.

573
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:03,000
But I do like They used it in
this one and it's going to be

574
00:30:03,008 --> 00:30:05,400
something that I'm not going to
spoil anything, but it does come

575
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:07,800
up in the second one and it's
just great.

576
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:11,100
I love that it has to do with
love interests and I like that.

577
00:30:11,100 --> 00:30:12,900
It's with her first love
interest.

578
00:30:13,100 --> 00:30:15,100
So they're almost like
bookending a lot of things.

579
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:18,600
This is a great little detail.
I mean, we're just, we're in

580
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:21,000
some sort of past present,
Ellie, love triangle.

581
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:24,600
I mean, last episode we got
Dina, maybe peeking around the

582
00:30:24,608 --> 00:30:27,000
bend there and then now we have
Riley.

583
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,100
It's great.
I want Holly to have all the

584
00:30:29,100 --> 00:30:30,600
love interest possibility.
Yeah.

585
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:34,200
Yeah, in thinking about this
romp through the mall, there

586
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:39,100
were the four now five wonders.
I mean except for the escalator

587
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:43,200
which which of the four would
have been your cup of tea.

588
00:30:43,300 --> 00:30:45,800
Well, not to skip to the end of
the Halloween, really?

589
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:49,300
Yeah, the Halloween, you know,
how much I love Halloween and

590
00:30:49,300 --> 00:30:53,000
stuff like that.
If I was deprived of knowing

591
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:57,300
that love, but loving it at the
same time and knowing that there

592
00:30:57,300 --> 00:31:00,700
was a store that somebody could
have taken me to head.

593
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:03,700
Over Heels, the ooky spooky
store Head Over Heels dancing.

594
00:31:03,700 --> 00:31:07,300
On top of cabinets with masks on
to oh my God, that made me very

595
00:31:07,300 --> 00:31:08,200
nervous.
I thought they were going to

596
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:11,100
fall through the cases.
Yeah, it's not Final

597
00:31:11,100 --> 00:31:13,000
Destination.
So I also was nervous when they

598
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:15,400
were jumping on the roofs
earlier in the episode, I was

599
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:17,900
like they're very close
together.

600
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:21,100
Thankfully thankfully, yes, yes,
I think for me it would have

601
00:31:21,100 --> 00:31:23,300
been the arcade.
I liked going to arcades when I

602
00:31:23,308 --> 00:31:26,600
was little so I can win tickets
and, you know, cash them in for

603
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:32,200
Rings, you know.
You know as a young child stuff

604
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:35,700
to do for me not even I loved
playing the games.

605
00:31:35,700 --> 00:31:37,800
Okay, but I never used the
ticket.

606
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:40,100
I do this stuff.
Yeah I like gave it to one of my

607
00:31:40,100 --> 00:31:42,500
siblings or something like that
but like I just I didn't care

608
00:31:42,500 --> 00:31:44,600
because like all the stuff like
the stuff I would have wanted.

609
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:46,600
I'm like my parents would never
give me money to play enough

610
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:50,300
games to get that stuff.
I was addicted to the game where

611
00:31:50,300 --> 00:31:52,500
the alligator comes out and you
hit him with a mallet, and he

612
00:31:52,508 --> 00:31:56,000
goes now, and then I would get
enough tickets that I would buy

613
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:59,100
these big chunky plastic rings.
It's a Todd.

614
00:31:59,100 --> 00:32:02,900
They were like there were sharp.
No, they were like, they were

615
00:32:02,900 --> 00:32:06,900
like big gem on top and there
was like a bubble in the middle

616
00:32:06,900 --> 00:32:09,900
of it and I had them in all the
colors and as a crossover I

617
00:32:09,900 --> 00:32:11,800
would use them as Captain Planet
rings.

618
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:14,800
So that's good, that that's fun.
You use them for your other

619
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:18,900
games fashion and function.
I liked the physical games.

620
00:32:19,100 --> 00:32:21,400
So a lot like the ones where you
have to like, you know, that

621
00:32:21,500 --> 00:32:23,900
electronic jump, rope one, where
you to like, jump up.

622
00:32:23,900 --> 00:32:26,600
Oh thanks the one with like the
spider one where you had a hit

623
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:28,100
all the thing like I like to
those ones.

624
00:32:28,300 --> 00:32:30,300
Zones were appointed you have
longer limbs.

625
00:32:30,300 --> 00:32:32,800
So you're probably good at that.
Spider was smack my body all

626
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:36,100
around that arcade.
That was me.

627
00:32:36,500 --> 00:32:38,200
That was you.
And I was the one prancing

628
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:40,000
around with rings at the bulk
up.

629
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:44,300
Blond smacking his body against
all the things that was bad.

630
00:32:45,700 --> 00:32:49,500
But that I mean, so the the, the
Wonders that she planned,

631
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:54,300
fantastic, we can't not talk
about her giving her the second

632
00:32:54,300 --> 00:32:58,800
volume to the pun book.
I mean, the thought, That Riley

633
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:02,000
put into this.
If my like Wonder three.

634
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:05,400
Ellie was not like this girl
loves me.

635
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:07,200
Like, who does this for
somebody.

636
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:11,300
Like this is beyond best friend
party-planning duties.

637
00:33:12,100 --> 00:33:14,600
It was she had to.
Yeah, she had to have like that,

638
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:18,000
that would have clicked.
I mean, Noah and I, we give each

639
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:21,600
other books as presents.
I get time, especially as a book

640
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:23,800
collector when you can get the
next volume.

641
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:27,000
And the set during the
apocalypse, though, we'll see ya

642
00:33:27,300 --> 00:33:30,800
more, Barse.
All of them are used no new

643
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:32,900
books.
Everywhere is this?

644
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:36,400
And yeah, that's it.
But so, this is where we start

645
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:41,500
getting one of the big diverging
paths that is going to be with

646
00:33:41,500 --> 00:33:46,200
these two, and just like the
military, just like the

647
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:48,200
government just like bedro, just
like all this stuff.

648
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:51,400
The fireflies are stationing her
somewhere else.

649
00:33:51,500 --> 00:33:56,300
So, Riley kind of wanted to do
this big last thing, for Ellie

650
00:33:56,900 --> 00:34:00,000
to almost cushion the blow to
show how much you cared for her.

651
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:01,300
How much she loved her.
Yeah.

652
00:34:02,100 --> 00:34:05,900
Very sweet, but Ellie is Ellie.
And again, she's going to be

653
00:34:05,900 --> 00:34:09,000
left alone.
The only person that she had

654
00:34:09,300 --> 00:34:12,300
that was family fret.
Anything is telling her that

655
00:34:12,300 --> 00:34:15,000
she's leaving and she chose to
do that.

656
00:34:15,199 --> 00:34:18,199
And In This Moment, Riley's also
telling her.

657
00:34:18,699 --> 00:34:20,300
Well, if you wanted to come, you
could.

658
00:34:20,300 --> 00:34:23,300
But you have to decide right now
because we're leaving tomorrow.

659
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:24,600
Yeah.
It was.

660
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:27,199
But Marlene also told her that
she couldn't go, but like she

661
00:34:27,199 --> 00:34:31,600
could go, which confused me, you
know, I don't trust Marlene no

662
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:32,800
idea.
I've said it.

663
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:35,199
I yeah.
She then locked her in a room

664
00:34:35,300 --> 00:34:41,699
handcuffed to a radiator was
barley and listen to be sure

665
00:34:41,699 --> 00:34:44,400
twice shy, I don't know.
I agree.

666
00:34:44,699 --> 00:34:46,500
I agree with Marlene on that
one.

667
00:34:46,500 --> 00:34:50,100
I don't try this modeling is
just she's in the street.

668
00:34:50,100 --> 00:34:52,900
She's trying to get kids to join
the Firefly, she's taking them

669
00:34:52,900 --> 00:34:55,300
captive, she's sending them
across the country with

670
00:34:55,300 --> 00:35:03,300
strangers.
I don't trust, but I loved when

671
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:07,100
Ellie turned back because she
thought Riley was in trouble.

672
00:35:07,100 --> 00:35:10,300
She turned back initially but
then she heard what she thought

673
00:35:10,300 --> 00:35:11,900
she was screaming.
So she went to go help her

674
00:35:11,908 --> 00:35:15,200
danger danger and the Halloween
store.

675
00:35:17,700 --> 00:35:20,200
Let's Okay, so let's talk about
them.

676
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:24,900
Dancing on top of the cases to,
I got you babe, we're just a

677
00:35:25,100 --> 00:35:29,400
with literal masks on.
Yeah, because they are masking

678
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:32,100
who they truly are and their
feelings man.

679
00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:35,500
Stop it with the metaphors in
the Poetry.

680
00:35:35,700 --> 00:35:39,000
I can't take it, even though it
was a very scary clown and a

681
00:35:39,008 --> 00:35:41,900
werewolf.
It was still touching and

682
00:35:41,900 --> 00:35:45,000
meaningful.
Yeah, this scene that we get

683
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:48,800
that, like, during this This
when we saw the infected kind of

684
00:35:48,900 --> 00:35:52,600
like twitch and come to life.
Yeah that's where it obviously

685
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:54,300
went all downhill.
I'm gonna pass.

686
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:58,100
Yeah, this I mean it is what the
show it is with the universe is

687
00:35:58,700 --> 00:36:02,500
we knew it was coming but that I
mean just the scene of them

688
00:36:02,500 --> 00:36:07,400
dancing of Riley like just, you
know, making Ellie just fully

689
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:09,600
just be in the moment.
She was hesitant at first.

690
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:12,300
But Riley, is that person that
can break her out of her shell?

691
00:36:12,500 --> 00:36:15,100
Even with the mask on, but she
could do it.

692
00:36:15,300 --> 00:36:16,400
Etta James.
I got you.

693
00:36:16,700 --> 00:36:19,300
Perfect.
Perfect song to play in this

694
00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:22,100
those lyrics.
Do, you know, the lyrics to that

695
00:36:22,100 --> 00:36:24,700
song as high form?
I got you babe, babe.

696
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:27,500
I got you babe.
Well, one of the particular

697
00:36:27,500 --> 00:36:30,300
lyrics that plays especially
before they take off the masks

698
00:36:30,300 --> 00:36:34,300
and share a very sweet and
innocent, yes, this is people

699
00:36:34,300 --> 00:36:37,700
say that we don't know what love
is or how to make it grow.

700
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:41,000
Well I don't know if that's all
true because you got me and

701
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:44,300
baby, I got you and it's just
it's perfect because they're so

702
00:36:44,300 --> 00:36:46,900
young, they're so young and they
don't know what love Of is, but

703
00:36:46,900 --> 00:36:49,900
they're figuring it out on their
own.

704
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:53,800
It's just it's so sweet and I
spoke I spoke about this when I

705
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:57,700
talked about my thoughts of the
bill and Frank episode.

706
00:36:57,900 --> 00:37:05,000
But again, when you are queer,
LGBT it all when I was little,

707
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:08,200
it almost felt like I would
never find another person.

708
00:37:08,300 --> 00:37:12,200
I so did it.
But when when you do find

709
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:14,400
another person, especially when
you're that young, when you have

710
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:16,400
like your first yeah, love or
whatever.

711
00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:18,700
It feels like I never thought
this would happen.

712
00:37:18,700 --> 00:37:23,600
I always thought I was alone and
so that, you know, when we

713
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:27,100
always put that layer on top of
an apocalypse.

714
00:37:27,300 --> 00:37:31,600
Yeah, it just means a lot more.
So again, we found these two

715
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:35,300
queer characters, who Against
All Odds, managed to find each

716
00:37:35,300 --> 00:37:37,800
other.
Yeah, and are experiencing that

717
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:41,500
together and figuring it out
together and when they share

718
00:37:41,500 --> 00:37:45,300
their kiss, it's just it's so
sweet and you CLE like really

719
00:37:45,300 --> 00:37:48,900
smile.
Like a goofy kid smile for the

720
00:37:48,900 --> 00:37:53,600
first time.
It's so sweet, but it's the last

721
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:56,000
of us.
So it cannot last.

722
00:37:56,200 --> 00:38:00,200
I don't understand these.
Infected that guy was like

723
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:02,700
growing into a wall.
Yeah.

724
00:38:02,700 --> 00:38:06,600
He was sleeping for so long and
then he's like, Sonic the

725
00:38:06,607 --> 00:38:08,700
Hedgehog.
Yeah no.

726
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:11,700
Yeah, he's dormant until he
doesn't have to be.

727
00:38:11,700 --> 00:38:14,500
I don't believe it.
I don't like it and I don't

728
00:38:14,500 --> 00:38:18,500
believe it this this scene.
Is so visceral.

729
00:38:18,900 --> 00:38:26,400
So intense terrifying.
And it just keeps adding the way

730
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:30,100
they decided to tell the scene
with, you know, it on Ellie it

731
00:38:30,100 --> 00:38:32,900
on Riley.
It, you know, Ellie falling into

732
00:38:32,900 --> 00:38:34,600
the shelves and trying to crawl
away.

733
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:37,700
She doesn't even know if she's
immune yet and a detail that

734
00:38:37,700 --> 00:38:39,000
they added with this is.
Did you notice?

735
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:41,100
She has like short sleeves and
everything.

736
00:38:41,100 --> 00:38:43,900
She does not have short sleeves
at all, right?

737
00:38:43,900 --> 00:38:48,300
She's always covering up, right?
Because she's been so, So seeing

738
00:38:48,300 --> 00:38:51,100
that and seeing that their
children dealing with this and

739
00:38:51,100 --> 00:38:54,100
only Riley is the one with the
gun and she wasn't able to take

740
00:38:54,100 --> 00:38:57,800
it down.
Is just so scary, it's so scary

741
00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:02,600
and then the way they told it
was oh she sees the Ellie's

742
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:06,200
been, Ellie's reaction to it.
Just trying to wipe it off.

743
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:08,000
Black tea bagging out that got
me.

744
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:10,200
Yeah, her saying no.
Yeah.

745
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:13,800
Oh my gosh.
And then Riley revealing that

746
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:18,100
she's also been and it's just so
To put in Riley's words it's

747
00:39:18,100 --> 00:39:22,700
just like just be all poetic and
shit like it is so sad.

748
00:39:22,700 --> 00:39:27,200
But it's also until until she
finds out that she's immune,

749
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:31,900
it's almost she kind of comes
down after she's done breaking

750
00:39:31,900 --> 00:39:34,600
shit because they're still going
to do this together.

751
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:38,200
I mean what better way almost so
that you know that's what's

752
00:39:38,300 --> 00:39:42,300
that's something that really
added to the emotion of it all

753
00:39:42,300 --> 00:39:45,000
was.
This is literally the night

754
00:39:45,100 --> 00:39:48,600
before they Set for their
Futures.

755
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:50,600
Yes.
And it stopped.

756
00:39:50,900 --> 00:39:53,400
Yep.
And in in literally not even a

757
00:39:53,408 --> 00:39:57,900
minute, it just adds to the
weight of everything and now

758
00:39:57,900 --> 00:40:00,000
they have no Futures anymore.
Yeah.

759
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:03,800
Oh well Ellie does unfortunately
well not at cheated.

760
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:07,100
No, really.
They thought it was over but I

761
00:40:07,100 --> 00:40:09,900
love this conversation that they
have.

762
00:40:09,900 --> 00:40:14,100
It's so this just kind of speaks
to what I was saying, saying

763
00:40:14,100 --> 00:40:16,800
earlier, how Riley knows Lon
Boss.

764
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:20,800
She knows violence and after
Ellie has her tantrum and

765
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:23,000
breaking stuff which I don't
blame her, go ahead, break

766
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:26,700
everything you want.
She tells her like even if we

767
00:40:26,700 --> 00:40:31,000
have two minutes or two days
like why waste them.

768
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:33,900
Here's that she says those two
options and one of them is to

769
00:40:33,900 --> 00:40:37,500
use the gun just to end it
quickly or just kind of hang out

770
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:41,700
a little more until because
those minutes and seconds and

771
00:40:41,900 --> 00:40:44,800
days that you have with that
person is worth more.

772
00:40:45,500 --> 00:40:47,700
Then just ending it quicker than
it should have been.

773
00:40:47,900 --> 00:40:49,900
So two more days in Mortal
Kombat baby.

774
00:40:50,100 --> 00:40:53,200
I mean they have all the coins.
You can you can learn all the

775
00:40:53,207 --> 00:40:54,600
special moves.
Yeah.

776
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:56,300
Yeah.
It's just it's so sweet.

777
00:40:56,300 --> 00:40:59,900
It's so mature of that character
and it's so loving of that

778
00:40:59,900 --> 00:41:04,100
character and I'm glad that it
cut off when it did because we

779
00:41:04,100 --> 00:41:06,600
know the rest.
We know that Marlene founder.

780
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:10,500
We know that she had Ellie and
then that's what brought Joel

781
00:41:10,500 --> 00:41:15,000
intestine to the thing, and then
here we are, but going back.

782
00:41:15,100 --> 00:41:18,700
Back to present day.
She she thought of that, she

783
00:41:18,700 --> 00:41:22,500
thought back to Riley after Joel
told her to leave and she said

784
00:41:22,500 --> 00:41:25,400
you know what fuck that.
I'm not going to I'm not going

785
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:28,800
to lose again.
Another person she's been

786
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:31,200
through that just like Joel,
he's lost people, he's not going

787
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:35,600
to do that again.
So why would she it's so good

788
00:41:36,100 --> 00:41:39,400
and then she finds some thread.
Hallelujah.

789
00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:42,800
Hey, you know and it feels like,
you know, there's a part of you

790
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:45,400
and you're watching it.
You're like Does she have the

791
00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:47,000
training?
Nope, to do that?

792
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:49,500
And it's like, well no, that
doesn't matter, Derek actually

793
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:52,500
matter.
I mean like a good thing.

794
00:41:52,500 --> 00:41:55,900
She has that innate ability to
be like, oh, skin needs the

795
00:41:55,900 --> 00:41:58,100
clothes, right?
So she's just like she got to

796
00:41:58,100 --> 00:41:59,900
that level of federal Medical
Training.

797
00:41:59,900 --> 00:42:02,900
Yeah, it's not a butterfly
stitch or anything but it's it's

798
00:42:02,900 --> 00:42:04,500
there.
It's going to help.

799
00:42:04,500 --> 00:42:07,200
Yes, Ali.
And maybe one of the most

800
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:12,000
beautiful things ever is as
she's doing this Joel opens, his

801
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:15,000
hand and takes hers and his I
mean you have to I think that

802
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:19,900
like you thinking about how he
played this scene, how Joel

803
00:42:19,900 --> 00:42:21,400
reacted to the scene and the
words.

804
00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:24,000
He was saying and his face was
saying a completely different

805
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:24,300
thing.
Yeah.

806
00:42:24,300 --> 00:42:26,600
And the, his tears, his very
real tears.

807
00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:28,700
Yeah, man.
I mean, he was telling her to

808
00:42:28,700 --> 00:42:30,700
leave, he probably thought it
was the right thing to do, but

809
00:42:30,700 --> 00:42:32,400
he knew he didn't want her to
leave.

810
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:35,300
Like, why would you want to die
alone?

811
00:42:35,300 --> 00:42:37,900
Why would you want to, you know?
And I even think there's the

812
00:42:37,900 --> 00:42:40,500
thing of once.
She leaves, he can no longer

813
00:42:40,500 --> 00:42:43,200
protect her.
Yep, he knows that like, yeah,

814
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:45,900
she's gonna go out there and
What what's going to happen to

815
00:42:45,900 --> 00:42:47,600
her?
She's a know, even where to go,

816
00:42:47,700 --> 00:42:49,200
right?
Where the hell are we?

817
00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:51,200
Yeah, he's a go north.
He's like, I don't know where

818
00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:52,100
that is.
What does that mean?

819
00:42:52,500 --> 00:42:55,800
In the air for this guy?
Where does that mean?

820
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:58,100
Look how man?
That moment is just so sweet.

821
00:42:58,100 --> 00:43:03,300
And that's really the the growth
that these characters got to

822
00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:07,700
like him being able to hold her
hand, and let her take care of

823
00:43:07,700 --> 00:43:10,600
him.
Big step for this, dude, huge

824
00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:18,000
step, but man, this I just I
heli, I feel so bad for all

825
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:20,100
these characters.
It was such a beautiful story.

826
00:43:20,100 --> 00:43:21,600
It's a beautiful way to tell
this.

827
00:43:22,300 --> 00:43:25,800
It's unfortunate that the events
have to play out the way that

828
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:28,200
they did.
I am keeping my fingers crossed

829
00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:31,900
that next week.
It isn't so depressing as it is

830
00:43:31,900 --> 00:43:35,400
action packed.
Yes, mmm.

831
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:37,700
Right.
There was some there's a boom

832
00:43:37,700 --> 00:43:40,100
boom and some fires.
Yeah.

833
00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:43,100
I mean this is creepy.
Yeah there.

834
00:43:43,500 --> 00:43:46,400
Yep.
I know I'm not going to put

835
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:51,000
anything in anybody's head it
The show, doesn't it to?

836
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:54,000
I'm not gonna say gets darker
but it gets more intense.

837
00:43:54,100 --> 00:43:57,700
We're getting to the climax of
the story, the ending of the

838
00:43:57,700 --> 00:43:59,900
first game.
So just think about how games

839
00:43:59,900 --> 00:44:01,900
work.
There's going to be a lot

840
00:44:02,100 --> 00:44:06,300
happening at the end of it.
More bloaters man I don't know

841
00:44:06,300 --> 00:44:09,800
if we're gonna get any more
maybe and my God more of them.

842
00:44:10,100 --> 00:44:14,700
Yeah I'm very excited to see how
they wrap this up into episode.

843
00:44:14,700 --> 00:44:16,600
Yes.
And I think that the next two

844
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:21,200
episodes are really about an
hour so Because right, so next

845
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:25,600
week we're seeing some sort of
very scary, horrible people and

846
00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:29,000
then David figure within the
last episode, we have to get to

847
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:30,400
Salt Lake City.
Yeah.

848
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:32,200
Ryan to get to the fireflies.
Yeah, yeah.

849
00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:36,300
So we have a lot of ground to
cover in only two more episodes.

850
00:44:36,300 --> 00:44:40,100
Yeah, this I mean, again, this
the show continues to undo

851
00:44:40,100 --> 00:44:44,100
itself week after week, it adds
a new layer to the type of story

852
00:44:44,100 --> 00:44:47,800
or what it's trying to say with
keeping that same feel

853
00:44:48,100 --> 00:44:51,200
throughout the whole thing.
It's just Just I, I can't wait

854
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:53,800
for it to be over but I'm loving
every size.

855
00:44:54,300 --> 00:44:57,700
Yes, I need a breather.
I need a breather.

856
00:44:57,700 --> 00:45:01,100
We've just had an intense month
across the board Garden.

857
00:45:01,100 --> 00:45:04,600
The invite of household.
So yes, some levity would be

858
00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:06,500
nicer.
Yeah, something that'd be real

859
00:45:06,500 --> 00:45:08,800
nice.
But let us know what you thought

860
00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:10,600
of this episode.
What was your favorite Mall

861
00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:11,500
thing?
Yeah.

862
00:45:11,500 --> 00:45:13,000

the mall?

863
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:15,500

favorite thing was to go The

866
00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:21,700

00:45:21,700 --> 00:45:23,300
Claire's and buy jelly
bracelets.

868
00:45:24,100 --> 00:45:27,100
I've never been into a class.
Oh, well then I mean

869
00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:30,800

haven't been in one recently.

870
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:33,100
Either I only used to go when I
was in high school to buy

871
00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:35,600
sparkly, jelly bracelets, and
Puka shell necklaces.

872
00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:37,600
I never wore a baby star
necklace in my life.

873
00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:42,200
It was turqoise.
