00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,720
Hey y'all, load up the cooler
with some home brewed brewskies

2
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:08,000
because guess what, there's a
Little League game going on.

3
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:22,560
Terrible commercial.
You wouldn't like that.

4
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:24,600
That's GAIL, baby.
Imagine that's how they do

5
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:27,280
commercials in the apocalypse.
Oh, it's just someone standing

6
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:29,960
in in the town square.
Doing that, it's like you're

7
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:32,119
right before the town hall
meetings.

8
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:37,640
Grab some of Harley's Hardy
Stew.

9
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:39,160
I don't know.
We'll workshop it.

10
00:00:39,160 --> 00:00:40,920
We'll work.
I, I, I can't get off the cuff.

11
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,880
I'm not going to improv.
I'm Derek.

12
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,120
That's Noah.
This is a bite of and we're

13
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:51,480
covering The Last of Us Season 2
Episode 3, The Path.

14
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:55,480
The path, which is also a song
that's in the game and play some

15
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:59,040
very pedal moments so just.
Throwing that up, all just names

16
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:01,680
of songs this season. 2 out of 3
so far.

17
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:03,840
Maybe Yeah, yeah, I guess we'll
see.

18
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:07,040
It's an amazing soundtrack so
why not True.

19
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:11,840
OK so yeah, another fun episode
that we're here to talk about

20
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:14,280
before we get into everything,
make sure you're following,

21
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,640
subscribing, whatever it is that
we get notifications, whatever

22
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,680
new episodes come out.
I feel like I'm much those words

23
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:24,240
together, but we have Doctor Who
and The Last of Us coming out in

24
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,400
the same week every week until
both of those shows are done.

25
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:29,720
We.
Just did the well, Doctor Who.

26
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,080
Now we're doing the path in The
Last of Us.

27
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:34,600
It all just makes sense.
It all leads to something.

28
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,400
Absolutely.
So spoil alert ahead.

29
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,680
We try not to spoil anything
future in the game.

30
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:45,160
But if we do, if I feel the need
that I can't not say something,

31
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,120
I will give double double
spoiler alert.

32
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,440
So spoiler alert for The Last of
Us.

33
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,680
All right, so let us officially
take a bite of The Last of Us

34
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:59,520
Season 2 Episode 3, The Path,
written by Haley Wiegren Gross

35
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,080
and Craig Mazen and directed by
Peter Horror.

36
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,600
Three months passed since Joel
was murdered, and the citizens

37
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,320
of Jackson can feel the hole
he's left behind.

38
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,640
Ellie and Dina set out on their
own to track Abby and seek

39
00:02:11,640 --> 00:02:14,040
justice.
They quickly discovered they

40
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,280
don't know much about what has
been going on outside the wooden

41
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,280
walls of their home.
Yikes.

42
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:28,880
OK, this this episode, I was
very interested to see how they

43
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:32,400
were going to do it because the
show almost has to recalibrate

44
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:36,240
itself into what it's going to
be.

45
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,800
But not Joel.
I'm not saying that Joel was the

46
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,120
show, but Joel was the anchor,
right?

47
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,440
And it's Pedro Pascal, so a lot
of star power.

48
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,960
So how was this going to move
forward from Joel?

49
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:52,440
And I felt like it did a good
job of almost like that video

50
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:56,720
game thing of like, OK, loading
screen, here's the new path

51
00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:00,520
forward.
But I, I really appreciated that

52
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:05,520
we spent time grieving, not a
lot of time, but with Ellie and

53
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:07,840
Tommy specifically, I think
those are the people we needed

54
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,600
the most to see grieve.
And I think they did a beautiful

55
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:12,880
job with that.
Yeah, it's interesting that you

56
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:14,880
said kind of what the show is
going to be without Joel,

57
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,000
because in the second-half of
the show, I was thinking like,

58
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:22,680
what is keeping this show from
being just like ACW teen drama,

59
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,920
right?
But with the preview of the next

60
00:03:24,920 --> 00:03:27,600
episode, obviously it's not
going to be that at all.

61
00:03:27,920 --> 00:03:30,000
But it is something really
interesting because the first

62
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,280
season really was built on Joel
and here he is completely gone.

63
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:37,360
I mean, even removed from the
opening credits of the show.

64
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:38,400
Wow, OK, great.
I.

65
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:42,080
Mean they did it, and the
question is, was Pedro Pascal

66
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,720
under the sheet when they were
washing the body?

67
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,920
You better be, you know, yeah,
he's like, I'm just going to

68
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:53,520
don't touch me or laugh.
But yeah, I think, yeah, we, we

69
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:55,520
do know he's going to show up in
flashbacks.

70
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,960
And that's a very big part of
the game, as well as showing

71
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:02,200
flashbacks of their journey to
Jackson or in between the five

72
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:06,360
years that we didn't see.
So Pedro is going to be in the

73
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:10,240
show in some capacity just to
really break our hearts and miss

74
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,640
him even more.
It did look like his hand let.

75
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:14,480
Us believe, yeah, that it is
him.

76
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:18,800
The I believe the actor or
somebody said, I can't remember

77
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:20,560
if it was the actor that played
Tommy or something, but they

78
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,000
said that this scene
specifically was like a one man

79
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,560
wake.
And I thought it was so

80
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,840
incredibly sad and moving and
touching and the only light

81
00:04:29,840 --> 00:04:32,560
being emanated in that whole
room was from the fire.

82
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:34,720
Yeah.
Just seeing him clean up his

83
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,760
brother and then say give my
luck to Sarah, which is so

84
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:41,680
incredibly sad because the two
characters we started the show

85
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:45,640
with are gone and now we're with
Elantina.

86
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:50,800
Yeah, that moment really just
showed the repercussions of what

87
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,960
happened in that one day.
I mean, it was really like an

88
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:58,360
hour, if even that right where
now Joel is gone, Jackson is

89
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,960
completely is burning, there's
dead bodies everywhere.

90
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,040
There's just a lot to deal with.
And so, you know, what's

91
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,880
interesting is that this is our
second time jump in this season

92
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,200
already.
Granted, it's not as as big as

93
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,360
the first one, but we needed
that, right?

94
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,360
I don't think we could have sat
in that grief much longer, but

95
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,320
we know that even though it's
three months later, they're

96
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,560
still dealing with the loss of
Joel.

97
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:22,000
Yeah, they gave us time to
again, grieve the character some

98
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:23,520
more in this.
But yeah, I don't think we

99
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:25,560
needed three months to really
be.

100
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,200
Yeah, we got Ellie waking up in
the hospital and literally

101
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,920
waking up still in that moment.
I mean, who knows?

102
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,920
Maybe she was reliving that
moment over and over again.

103
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:38,480
And when she finally came to, it
was like, it happened again.

104
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:40,200
They had to show us one more
time.

105
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:45,520
Yeah, I was like, cool, love it.
But yeah, I don't think this

106
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:47,920
show is incredibly sad.
And it's emotionally taxing.

107
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:52,040
I don't think we need to sit
with it for too much because

108
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:56,360
then it's just becomes like, oh,
this makes me feel not good, you

109
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,080
know?
And IA lot of this stuff doesn't

110
00:05:58,080 --> 00:05:59,920
make me feel good, but it's part
of the story.

111
00:05:59,960 --> 00:06:03,520
And it's like moving forward, I
don't want to sit here, like get

112
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,640
out of Jackson.
For the love of God, I can't.

113
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,760
And I think that this episode
gave us, it's a bridge, right,

114
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,760
like you said, between the past
of the show and the future of

115
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,200
the show.
And we just kind of lived in

116
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,840
Jackson for this one episode to
see what was going on and how

117
00:06:18,840 --> 00:06:23,120
everyone was dealing with it.
And obviously we see Ellie going

118
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:29,560
back to the house, which is
devastating, and just being

119
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,760
there with him, but it being so
empty, Yeah, you know.

120
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:37,400
This particular scene was so
well done.

121
00:06:37,840 --> 00:06:42,640
It's such a, you know, I, I've
seen some people say that like

122
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:44,320
this was a filler episode and
stuff like that.

123
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,840
Well, granted, no, it's not.
It has a lot of character

124
00:06:46,840 --> 00:06:48,800
development and it pushes the
story forward.

125
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:52,360
It is slow.
It's a very slow, slow episode.

126
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,800
I think we need that because a
lot of times we don't get this,

127
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:58,920
we don't get the grieving, we
don't get to see the

128
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:03,360
consequences or repercussions of
a character dying and decisions

129
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,920
being made like this in a show
with this many episodes anymore.

130
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,080
Nowadays it's like, hey, the
character died, have like of

131
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:13,040
them under the sheet for one
scene and then like move on.

132
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,440
At least in this we got to see a
little more and her in the

133
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,960
house.
I it was, it was so sad.

134
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:21,760
So, so sad.
It was so sad.

135
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,320
And I think it would have been
almost unfair to Ellie to not

136
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:28,000
give her this moment, right?
I think it as far as audiences,

137
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:29,400
right?
Because I had made a comment

138
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,760
about the first episode of
saying, like, she's really

139
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:34,600
bratty.
She's being really like such a

140
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,080
teenager in this.
And so if we didn't see this

141
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:40,120
humanizing moment of her dealing
with the loss of her father,

142
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,840
then I think that it would have
been a disservice to the

143
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,680
audience and to the character.
This this episode does a good

144
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:52,560
job of showing grief and it's
different ways and how a child

145
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,480
of 19, you know, she's I don't
feel like she is a child in some

146
00:07:56,480 --> 00:08:01,120
ways and also Tommy dealing with
grief, but then, you know, a

147
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:02,840
town because everybody lost
somebody.

148
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:07,120
But we see Ellie specifically
and and Bella Ramsey, they

149
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:11,800
phenomenal job in acting in this
episode because they do those

150
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:15,240
different layers of, I don't
know, kind of being a bratty

151
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:20,880
kid, but also lying, putting up
a certain face when they know

152
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,840
they need to get a certain way
or get something that they want.

153
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:28,680
When she talks to GAIL in the
hospital, it's very much like,

154
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,400
oh, you know, like the last
moments of somebody shouldn't

155
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,400
define ball.
Like she's literally reading a

156
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,080
pamphlet.
She knows what she needs to do.

157
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,799
But then that slow pull in when
she's leaving and her face

158
00:08:38,799 --> 00:08:41,640
slowly turns into how she's
actually feeling.

159
00:08:42,159 --> 00:08:45,840
So good, so good, so good.
Yeah, I think Ellie just wants

160
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,600
to move.
Like it's almost like the the

161
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,320
face she's putting out there is
a face of being strong and

162
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,520
moving on, but internally she's
obviously going through it.

163
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:58,480
Yeah, she she goes and smells
Joel's clothes and she starts

164
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:02,720
breaking down and then she hears
Dina and she has to, like, fix

165
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:04,000
herself.
And she's like, oh, this is

166
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:05,360
what?
They can't see me like this

167
00:09:05,560 --> 00:09:07,560
because her whole path.
And regardless of what she says

168
00:09:07,560 --> 00:09:10,640
during the town hall meeting, it
is about revenge.

169
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:12,720
She's lying.
You know, Jesse, when they're

170
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:14,680
they're training and stuff like
that, Jesse's like, oh, you need

171
00:09:14,680 --> 00:09:16,880
to like, you know, you need to
plead your case, like write

172
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:18,440
stuff down.
You need to like, think about

173
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:19,400
this.
And she's like, OK, I'll do

174
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:21,560
that.
She already knows her path.

175
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:25,120
She 100% she's lying and GAIL is
like the only one that can clock

176
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,000
her.
Yeah, and I think for GAIL, GAIL

177
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,840
is like, what am I going to do?
Holding her back?

178
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:31,720
It's not going to change
anything, right.

179
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,800
She she talks about the
difference between a liar and

180
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,280
telling lies.
And but she's just like that

181
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:41,360
kids, a liar.
Well, and she also, she Joel

182
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,680
killed her husband.
We know that, how much anger she

183
00:09:44,680 --> 00:09:48,960
has with him.
And like, regardless of it being

184
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,080
sad and, you know, Ellie had
nothing to do with that.

185
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:55,480
From what we know, she's like,
I, I mean, yeah, kid, I'm sorry,

186
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:59,320
but y'all, you 2 are the same.
You're very much the same.

187
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:00,960
And also like, he killed my
husband.

188
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:02,920
Yeah.
I like GAIL.

189
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,000
Bye.
You could tell that GAIL, that

190
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,760
GAIL is a really good
psychologist because she's very

191
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,720
aware that she's an alcoholic.
She's just like talking to

192
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:13,200
Tommy.
She's like, well, I'm an

193
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:14,560
alcoholic.
That's how I'm dealing with

194
00:10:14,560 --> 00:10:16,440
things.
She's just like and that's my

195
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,080
path that I find.
Imagine being like the only

196
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:20,840
therapist.
I mean, not in the world right

197
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:25,120
now, but maybe in an entire town
during apocalypse.

198
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:28,120
I would drink too.
She said she's supposed to go to

199
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:31,280
therapy herself to unload all
this nonsense, but all she has

200
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,520
is the bottle.
All she does is go to a Little

201
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:35,880
League game and then drink right
in left field.

202
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,800
I I thought we were in the past.
Every time I see an episode of

203
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,200
the show, I'm so impressed by
Jackson.

204
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,920
Like I was impressed that Dina
had a Tupperware and then they

205
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,120
have a full baseball field for
these kids.

206
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,600
I was like, OK.
I did love the detail that their

207
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,200
jerseys were clearly just
T-shirts with spray painted

208
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,080
numbers on them.
And they all look different.

209
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,640
Yeah, that I appreciated.
But yeah, I mean, we all deal

210
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,360
with things differently, right?
You know, one thing that I

211
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:05,960
thought was interesting was the
scene where Tommy is, we see

212
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:10,800
Tommy kind of fixing up the town
and he's trying to put a post in

213
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:12,920
the ground.
And then Jesse comes along and

214
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:14,640
does it in like tooth wax,
right?

215
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,320
So I was looking at that and
going like, does this mean that

216
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:21,320
Tommy in his mind is like, well,
maybe it's time for me to step

217
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:22,960
back?
Maybe I've been doing this for

218
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,440
too long and there is strong
leadership here that could take

219
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:29,360
my place.
Yeah, I mean, I can't.

220
00:11:30,560 --> 00:11:33,520
OK, Spoiler, spoiler, spoiler,
spoiler, spoiler.

221
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:37,600
I'm going to wait, skip like 15
seconds, blah, blah, blah.

222
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:43,840
Tommy does go on.
OK, Spoiler, you're gone.

223
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,800
You skipped a little bit.
OK, Tommy does go on his own

224
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:51,400
path of revenge.
So I think this is a a way, if

225
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:55,000
they're going to do that, a way
for him to be like Jackson's

226
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,960
taken care of and I can leave
and go do that.

227
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:00,280
That makes sense.
OK, I got you.

228
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:01,320
That's all I want to say with
that.

229
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,080
Well, with Mr. Biceps at the
helm.

230
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,880
Oh my gosh, Jesse.
Yeah, Jesse, I mean.

231
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:10,400
I get it 100.
Percent that I I get why Dina's

232
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,360
confused She's like put those
arms.

233
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:18,680
He's like yeah, but yeah, I
think it is very much like Jesse

234
00:12:18,680 --> 00:12:21,760
is is pragmatic.
Jesse is somebody that like he

235
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:25,120
sees his future as being a
leader of Jackson, being the

236
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:31,360
president of Jackson, right.
And I think Jesse doesn't take

237
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:34,120
over doing the post of like,
look, I got biceps and I'm

238
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,520
strong and you're old.
I think he takes it of like.

239
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:40,200
I got it, absolutely.
You know which I that's one of

240
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:44,360
the reasons what I love about
Jesse so much is he is like that

241
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:48,000
and you know, sometimes to a
fault, but I think he always has

242
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,840
the best intentions.
But I very much that's a that's

243
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,560
a good thing to bring up.
I think it's the transition of

244
00:12:53,560 --> 00:12:56,960
like, oh, Jackson itself is
going to change in some way and

245
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,360
what does it look like the path
going forward?

246
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,080
It's like they named this the
path for a reason, yeah.

247
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:08,200
Before we get like kind of
moving away from Jackson a

248
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:11,280
little bit, the scene
specifically in Joel's house,

249
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:15,680
just to kind of go back a little
bit with Dina specifically.

250
00:13:16,680 --> 00:13:22,280
I really appreciated this
conversation and the kind of

251
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:27,400
passing of like, I don't know,
not secrets, but like they

252
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:29,960
almost have a pact that happens
in the scene.

253
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:33,280
So Dina brings cookies as a
peace offering to be like, look,

254
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:36,320
I help with the information.
I know all of their faces, their

255
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:39,840
names and where they're from,
and even the the entity that

256
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,200
they work for.
And she lied about it,

257
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:46,040
rightfully so, from Tommy and
Ellie, because she knew they

258
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:47,560
would go under it.
They needed to heal.

259
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,800
And then it was also almost an
exchange between both of them,

260
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:55,200
because I think Dina has an
understanding in the scene of

261
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:58,280
like, Ellie is going to do
whatever she's going to do, and

262
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:01,520
Dina's here with her.
And so them almost like sharing

263
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,600
the cookies is like, we're in
this, yeah, we got this.

264
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:08,200
Let me try to do it this way.
If not, we're going to go do it

265
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:09,920
this way.
Yeah, I think that this scene

266
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:15,760
shows how well Dina knows Ellie.
And, you know, we've only met

267
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,040
Dina, but they've obviously
known each other for years at

268
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,960
this point.
So these this scene really

269
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:24,040
illustrates the fact that they
do have a bond and a friendship

270
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:27,640
or maybe more.
And so Dina is able to really

271
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,160
already know what Ellie's going
to do.

272
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,600
She could see the steps Ellie's
going to take before she even

273
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,520
takes them.
And so Ellie needs a person like

274
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:39,760
this in her corner, someone that
is going to really think

275
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,600
pragmatically about all the
steps that need to be taken.

276
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,120
Because Ellie doesn't do that.
Ellie leaves before she looks.

277
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,840
Well, Dina says on their trip to
Seattle.

278
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:49,520
She's like, I'm the brains,
you're the brown.

279
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,080
And it's very clear that that's
how it's going to go.

280
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,840
Because Ellie is just like Joel.
He shoots 1st and asks for

281
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,600
justification later.
Yeah, even in the scene later on

282
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:02,640
when she finds Ellie packing for
the trip, it's just guns, you

283
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:05,080
know, and like.
Maybe a little less grenades and

284
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:08,200
more granola.
What about a blanket or a first

285
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:11,240
aid kit or something like that?
Yeah, a first aid kit might be.

286
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:13,840
A good, you know, just in case,
but Ellie's like, I got all my

287
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,320
gun, let's go.
We're killing people.

288
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:19,040
And so Deena very much is the
one that's able to take a step

289
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:20,680
back and look at things and make
a list.

290
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:22,600
We always need those people in
our lives.

291
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaking of, not Speaking of but
so when Ellie smells Joel's

292
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:35,600
shirts and stuff, if I was to
pass, what would you smell like?

293
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,120
What would be the thing you
would go to 1st to be like or

294
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:41,120
keep be like?
This is the thing that smells

295
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,720
like.
Oh, that smells like you.

296
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:46,920
I was going to give it a dirty
answer.

297
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,160
No.
I mean.

298
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:54,120
Probably 1 of like this big
sweatshirts that you wear around

299
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,520
the house.
And you're sweating all the

300
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:57,120
time.
Yeah.

301
00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:59,120
Or make sure to extra sweat on
them just in case.

302
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:01,440
Yeah, and the like matching
shorts set or something like

303
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:04,800
that and I try to wear them, but
they'd be too small.

304
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:08,280
You can't wear them, then it
would smell like you.

305
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:14,080
OK, maybe I wanted our smells to
mingle for one last time.

306
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:16,680
What would you wear of mine or
smell of mine?

307
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:19,600
I wouldn't wear just went over
that.

308
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:21,960
Probably your Spirited Away
shirt.

309
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,160
I like that one and your
underwear.

310
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:26,800
Yeah, that's what I was going to
say.

311
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:32,360
I know those, the black and
white briefs, those are cute.

312
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:34,080
Those are.
Cute.

313
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,200
This is a family program.
No, no, no.

314
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:40,360
OK, yeah, I was just curious.
I was like, I wonder what would

315
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:42,040
happen.
That's what I'd really keep,

316
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:45,360
yeah.
All right, so town hall meeting

317
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:48,080
in this one of my favorite
scenes in this episode.

318
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:53,240
I thought it was really a neat
look at different people in this

319
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,760
community and what they're
thinking and also how their

320
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:59,760
system of, of government works.
And I liked that they all had to

321
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:01,760
vote in front of everybody, and
then they count them right

322
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:03,600
there.
It's like, yeah, you can't lie.

323
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:05,200
You can't break the system.
No.

324
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:08,720
Yeah.
What did you make of this scene

325
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:12,000
with all these different voices
kind of, I don't know, pleading

326
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,040
their case?
I mean, I think that they are

327
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:18,440
very much a democratic society
and we really see that in play

328
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:20,280
here.
And I understand both sides of

329
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:21,920
it.
You know, you can't help but put

330
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:25,520
yourself in this situation and
wonder, well, what would I do?

331
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,920
And I understand that one woman
that's like, well, I lost

332
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:31,360
people.
You know, I know people that

333
00:17:31,360 --> 00:17:33,280
died in this.
Some people very close to me.

334
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:37,360
I'm not looking to go out and
take revenge and have 16 of our

335
00:17:37,360 --> 00:17:41,440
strongest people leave when
we're still rebuilding and have,

336
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,480
you know, weakness in our guard.
So I get that.

337
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,480
But then there's a part of me
that's like, there's a

338
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:50,000
difference between walkers, not
walkers.

339
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:54,640
Oh my gosh, infected coming in
and killing US versus a group of

340
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:57,600
humans who went out of their way
to torture and murder someone.

341
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:02,040
So I would say let's compromise.
How about we send 8 instead of

342
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:04,120
16?
Yeah.

343
00:18:04,120 --> 00:18:08,120
I mean, I think knowing what we
know at the end of this episode

344
00:18:08,120 --> 00:18:12,880
of the wolves being much bigger
and heavily armed than we

345
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:17,400
thought they were, it doesn't
matter, like sending 16 or

346
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:20,760
sending 2, you know.
So I think in the end it was

347
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:22,720
going to play out.
I was going to play out anyway,

348
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:27,040
but I very much did like that
that woman saying like, look, I

349
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:32,840
like Joel, he was a nice guy,
but like, hello, like, are we

350
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:36,480
going to, I don't know, get
revenge on anybody that gets

351
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:39,120
wronged here?
So I think that she is like

352
00:18:39,120 --> 00:18:42,240
setting that precedent of like,
look, we have to think

353
00:18:42,360 --> 00:18:46,800
responsibly with this, but us as
viewers are like, no fucked up.

354
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,880
Let's like go kill them.
Like we need to like get rid of

355
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:51,920
them.
And then also we have that one

356
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:54,440
guy that was like, look, this is
a cycle of violence.

357
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:55,920
Like we need to like cut this
off.

358
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:57,880
We need to show mercy.
That's what separates us.

359
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:00,160
Also a great point.
And then we have fucking Seth.

360
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:05,480
We're, you know, Ellie gives
their speech and it's great.

361
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:07,680
It's fake as fuck and everybody
knows it.

362
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:09,920
And GAIL clocks it.
She's like she was lying the

363
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,760
whole time.
But Seth, when you have the only

364
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:19,680
towns bigot in your corner, it's
like, oh, maybe let me rethink

365
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:21,720
this a little bit.
He's like I agree with the F

366
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:27,520
slurs it's so random.
You know, I have real pride in

367
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:29,760
them.
It's just like this was an

368
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,480
interesting turn for this
character, what are we supposed

369
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:36,160
to take from it as the viewer?
Is he overcompensating?

370
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:39,640
I mean, maybe he does have like
some weird like fetish with the

371
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:42,680
revenge or something like that,
but I feel like he's like

372
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:47,320
overcompensating in a way or
like, yo, I don't he I don't get

373
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:49,320
out of here.
I don't care about him.

374
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:53,600
Like, I like that Ellie was
still like this guy.

375
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:55,720
Like, OK, I'll shake your hand.
Thank you for giving me my

376
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:59,600
horse.
But I was like, OK, I don't

377
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:01,480
care.
Like you just you're still an

378
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:03,080
asshole.
Like it doesn't make it better.

379
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:05,480
Yeah, I completely agree.
And I think that's the thing.

380
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:07,600
It's it's, I don't even think
it's like a forgive and forget

381
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:09,320
thing.
I think it's I don't forgive you

382
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:11,480
and I'm not going to forget it,
but you're giving me what I want

383
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:13,120
in this moment and that's all I
could ask for.

384
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,080
Yeah, I'm going to use you as
much as I can.

385
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:17,320
Yeah, yeah.
Let's talk about shimmer.

386
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:21,280
Oh, shimmer.
Shimmer, so strong can hold two

387
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,560
people at once.
Well, they're tiny little pocket

388
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:25,600
sized people.
Oh my gosh, shimmer these.

389
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,240
Are literal children.
And all the year, Shimmer's

390
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:29,760
strong.
We love her.

391
00:20:30,360 --> 00:20:31,640
But.
So we go to Seattle.

392
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,800
Yeah, that's fine.
Nothing is going to happen there

393
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,080
but.
The final scene with Ellie

394
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:41,680
stopping at Joel's grave and
giving the coffee beans.

395
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:45,800
What I thought was weird is I
tried to think back if in any

396
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:50,040
time in the show, Joel's love of
coffee was mentioned and I'm not

397
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:53,840
sure it was.
I think maybe maybe in the

398
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:59,240
episode, maybe survive and
endure with Sam and Henry, like

399
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:01,640
when they get to that place and
he looks for coffee.

400
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:06,440
I can't remember briefly.
Maybe in the games it's very

401
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:08,720
much like a a dialogue thing
that keeps happening.

402
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,120
Like any time they go into like
a convenience store or something

403
00:21:11,120 --> 00:21:12,360
is like, oh, I wonder if there's
coffee.

404
00:21:12,360 --> 00:21:16,320
Like he loves coffee.
So I did like that even I'm not

405
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,680
sure it was mentioned in the
show, but just if people were

406
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:22,320
confused and why coffee beans?
That's why I.

407
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,440
Appreciate you explaining that
because if you don't remember

408
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:27,760
it, you know, definitely, I
definitely don't remember it.

409
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,480
And so I was going, you must
have loved coffee.

410
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:33,560
I don't know, but OK.
I'm glad that came through.

411
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:38,040
But I to me then it seems like a
nudge to the game players,

412
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:40,240
right?
Of like, you know what this

413
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:42,200
means?
It's her way of honoring him.

414
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,240
Maybe it's something that they
had just the two of them.

415
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:47,840
Yeah, it's funny too, because in
the game, when she goes to his

416
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:49,400
grave, she just really touches
it.

417
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:51,640
She touches the earth and
touches the the soil.

418
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:54,280
So I liked it.
And this one, it was even more

419
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:59,200
of a a game thing than even in
the game it was, you know, so I

420
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:01,440
did like that little aspect, but
it's such a beautiful shot.

421
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:03,440
I'm I'm curious if this is the
last we're going to see of

422
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:07,000
Jackson in the show.
I guess it depends on how much

423
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:11,760
story they're going to show in
Jackson because this, this all

424
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:14,640
of this like does not really
happen in the game.

425
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,480
We don't get this council.
We don't get these big long

426
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:20,800
grieving periods because pretty
much most of the game is

427
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:25,200
breathing and dealing with that.
It's like death, wake up, OK, we

428
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:28,120
go there in Seattle.
So because it's a game, right,

429
00:22:28,120 --> 00:22:29,480
it has to move the action
forward.

430
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:33,000
So I'm liking that because we're
having these two seasons of one

431
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,920
game.
We get these moments like this

432
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,240
to sit with them and to kind of
see how it all works.

433
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:43,200
So not to not to spoil anything,
don't spoil anything, but is

434
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:45,840
there like a moment in the
second game where you can see

435
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:47,920
where they're going to end this
season of the show?

436
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:49,640
No.
Oh, interesting.

437
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:54,280
I have no.
I mean, maybe, maybe, but no.

438
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:57,760
Just such a mystery.
Yeah, because there's there's a

439
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:00,360
lot of like things that could
end it.

440
00:23:00,360 --> 00:23:02,800
But we're we're already in
Seattle.

441
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:06,280
So I'm like.
They got there so fast.

442
00:23:06,360 --> 00:23:09,520
Yeah, I I think we had to,
right, because like that's the

443
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:12,880
action that it has to like pick
up because we've had such like

444
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:14,960
intense but somber episodes
really.

445
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:18,080
So I think we need to get the
story moving a little bit.

446
00:23:18,360 --> 00:23:21,280
And Abby wasn't in this at all.
So what is Abby doing?

447
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:23,240
What's Abby up to?
She's like bye.

448
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,680
She's.
Having a little party for for

449
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:26,400
three months?
What?

450
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,440
A jerk.
So, so on their journey to

451
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:34,000
Seattle, they come across this
sort of religious group that we

452
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:37,440
we see in a scene, we know that
they're running from something

453
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:42,840
and then they are all murdered.
They're massacred, basically.

454
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:46,560
And so this is the part where
you can tell that Ellie and Dina

455
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:50,320
really have no idea what's been
going on outside in the world.

456
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:54,440
So it, it's so weird because
they don't really tell you

457
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:56,960
anything about these people.
We, we hear a little bit of

458
00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:00,640
their lore, obviously we see
that they have those marks on

459
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,600
their faces and there's
something about hammers, you

460
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:06,280
know, that's, I guess they just
use hammers to, to defend

461
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:08,120
themselves.
But it's, I was like, is this

462
00:24:08,120 --> 00:24:10,920
some sort of Attack on Titan
crossover episode I wasn't aware

463
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:14,320
of because they are dressed like
Adam Jaeger.

464
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:17,560
It's wild.
Yeah, the the Seraphytes are

465
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:20,040
interesting.
So this is a group of cults,

466
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:23,920
like I can very easily, without
spoiling anything, their cult,

467
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:26,640
like they talk about profit.
They talk about, you know, the

468
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:29,600
best defense is distance, which
means like distance away from,

469
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:31,840
you know, whatever.
I think we can infer that the

470
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,080
wolves may have been hunting
them down.

471
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:37,520
There's a war between them.
I think what's important for

472
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:41,840
people to when they're watching
The Last of Us or we will see

473
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:47,600
more of is in the United States
specifically, there's a lot of

474
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:51,200
different factions and groups of
people that branched out of

475
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:55,520
ephedra.
And so the seraphytes are just

476
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,920
another branch of people that
grouped like kind of branched

477
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:02,560
off from something else or like
because of ephedra, people rose

478
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:06,320
up and the wolves they an
opposition ephedra.

479
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:09,920
So there's a lot of different
government or like religious or

480
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:11,640
whatever entities.
So you have groups of people

481
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:14,880
always fighting each other.
And so this is one of our first

482
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:18,600
instances of seeing that outside
of our characters.

483
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:21,080
And it's just happens to be like
a cult.

484
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:24,440
But I did like the the kind of
parallel between like Joel and

485
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:28,760
Sarah, Joel and Ellie with this
young girl and her father.

486
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,360
You know, we see that they all
have the glass go smiles and

487
00:25:31,360 --> 00:25:33,440
they talk about a prophet.
So we know a little bit about

488
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:35,720
them, but they don't have any
technology.

489
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:40,360
So having bows and arrows and
hammers, I don't know how

490
00:25:40,360 --> 00:25:43,320
effective that would be against
the tank, but obviously not very

491
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:46,680
effective, yeah.
It was really sad, and so I'm

492
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:48,800
interested to learn more of this
group.

493
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:50,960
Just personally in life, I'm
always interested in cults and

494
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:56,040
things like that.
So it's just so interesting that

495
00:25:56,320 --> 00:26:00,040
even in a story of the end of
the world, there are still

496
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:03,240
groups of people fighting to
either be right or have power.

497
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:06,840
And it's like, we can never just
exist, right?

498
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:10,120
And so that's what this is all
leading up to, just more

499
00:26:10,120 --> 00:26:16,040
fighting and seeing the power
that the wolves have is scary,

500
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:19,520
especially when we know it's
just these two people on a

501
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:22,480
horse.
Yeah, And I think that's, you

502
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:24,800
know, this episode was
interesting because it it, it

503
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:28,200
didn't remind us that these are
they're young, they're young

504
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:30,000
people.
And there's moments like in the

505
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,880
tent with very much like, will
they won't they?

506
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:34,720
Dana's still trying to figure
her stuff out.

507
00:26:35,120 --> 00:26:37,160
Ellie is like, God, I love this
girl.

508
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:40,880
But like, come on, you know, So
we get moments like that where

509
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:45,200
it's like, it does feel like a,
and this isn't a dig or a

510
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:47,080
negative thing, but like Aya
story.

511
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:50,200
And then we're thrown back into
like, there's cults and there's

512
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:52,200
government agencies and there's
people killing each other.

513
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:54,200
And like, this is a story about
revenge.

514
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:57,120
So I think going forward, like
once we were like fully in

515
00:26:57,120 --> 00:27:01,000
Seattle, the tone might change a
little bit, but I'm curious to

516
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:06,000
see like, you know, a lot of
stakes is on Bella Ramsey's

517
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:09,880
shoulders, like they they're
going to carry the show going

518
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:11,800
forward.
So what does that look like?

519
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:16,640
I'm, I think this episode kind
of sold me on their ability,

520
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:19,480
obviously, but having Dina there
really helps.

521
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:23,640
I think we needed that balance
of not just Ellie being like

522
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:25,400
super pissed off.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

523
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:29,880
Ken love Blossom in a world
where the soil is soaked with

524
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:31,920
blood.
I guess we'll see.

525
00:27:32,360 --> 00:27:34,960
We will see, you know, and I,
and there's like a part of me

526
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:37,240
that feels like, how can these
two really take down this whole

527
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:39,360
thing?
And I mean, I, I fully believe

528
00:27:39,360 --> 00:27:41,960
in them, but I, I, I'm almost
like, are there going to be

529
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:46,760
these moments where the infected
kind of almost work with them in

530
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:49,440
a way to take down this huge
militia?

531
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:52,440
You know, and it's also to think
about like, these were some

532
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:55,840
pristine military vehicles that
they had.

533
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:59,560
So this isn't like them, you
know, fixing up some old rusted

534
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:02,080
junk.
I mean, this is like really good

535
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:05,000
weaponry.
Yeah, yeah, these people are,

536
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:09,320
they're very well equipped.
And that's what that scene was

537
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:12,400
trying to show us.
Like, oh, no, like this is what

538
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:14,600
they're walking into.
They have no idea what they're

539
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:16,840
walking into.
And I don't know what they think

540
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:21,160
they think it was going to be,
but they're not prepared for

541
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:22,160
this.
No way.

542
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:27,000
And it's going to be a wild ride
to see how they even begin to

543
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:30,400
find Abby.
Like how do you find in a in a

544
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:35,560
huge American city like Seattle
with this entire military?

545
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:38,360
Like good luck, girls.
And the fact that, you know, we

546
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:41,760
even see in this with Danny
Ramirez's character that they

547
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:45,040
have posts they have watched,
they're always watching, so.

548
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:47,320
Apparently not good enough
because they didn't see.

549
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:50,400
That's true.
But you know, in this episode it

550
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:51,800
looks like they're going
underground.

551
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:55,640
That's going to be scary.
Tight quarters and darkness.

552
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:58,160
Last thing I want to say the
tent scene.

553
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:01,520
How did you feel about Dean
being like you're gay?

554
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:05,400
I'm not.
I said, girl, I think you're a

555
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:08,800
little queer yourself.
She's very much still figuring

556
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:11,640
it out, which I think is cute
and we're seeing that.

557
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:14,760
But like, you know, video game
me because at this point they've

558
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:18,360
already like they've already
bumped, you know, and like I

559
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:20,480
just I, I, I need them to get
there.

560
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:22,040
She's like, how would you rate
my kids?

561
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:24,360
You want to try again?
No.

562
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:27,520
It's very like high school.
Yes, totally.

563
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:29,600
That's what I'm saying.
It was like, like you're saying

564
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,000
it's like, will this just be a
teen drama?

565
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:35,840
And then obviously it won't be.
Yeah, I Ellie giving it a six.

566
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:37,520
Come on.
She's playing games.

567
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:39,840
Come on, she's playing.
Games girl.

568
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:48,960
She's like, let's try again.
OK, yeah, so I guess until next

569
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:50,960
week.
I'm hoping next week isn't as

570
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:54,480
sad and we're really trying to
make these episodes not like I

571
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:56,800
cried.
What about you?

572
00:29:56,800 --> 00:30:00,680
Yeah, we want more murder.
Let's go.

573
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:04,160
Well.
We have, we have Doctor Who

574
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:10,160
episode 4 coming out on Saturday
and then you know, you'll see us

575
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:13,400
for the next Last of Us one.
It's not the Last of Us.

576
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:16,960
OK.
On that note, goodbye.
