😢😮❤🏅🥺

Absolutely! Hadn’t thought of it this way.

Such a beautiful and spot-on observation

Bill knew how to survive...ken knew how to live love life. Where's my 100 likes?

Awwww weeee, you fan SHEEP "just can't quit those gay cowboys." - Brokeback Mountain quote.

@@GentileMysteriesConspiracies have you finished throwing your hissy fit?

Bravooo

@@GentileMysteriesConspiracies sO U WATCHED brokeback mountain.

The authors performed an outstanding job. I mean, you can love and have a meaningful life even at the end of the world. How strong and demanding a work it was for a writer, and how expertly they created their plot.

Absolutely! I loved how real and relatable it was. I'm glad they decided to show Bill & Frank's relationship because we don't get to see that in the game. I love the little things they change in the TV show to keep the new audience and the gamers on their toes.

You took the words right out of my mouth. It's so nice to finally see a show - or anything for that matter - that finally acknowledges that there are more types of gay men in the world than just the youthful pretty boys or flamboyant, over-the-top effeminate stereotypes inserted just for humour that is the usual portrayal.

Heartbreaking

Absolutely 😢😭

It reminds me of how I feel about my kid. That emotional Achilles heel. The only thing that could destroy me😭😭😭😭

Please don't...Had me in tears 😭

Mine is “you are my purpose.”

Start now, give me a toast

🍓🍓😭😭🥺💕💕🥺💕💕

I had to laugh a lot at your comment because of how much I understand what you mean. I ugly cried like I haven’t done in many years.

@@davebalmada haha, glad I’m not the only one!! 🥲

@@damedeviant1388 I shead a tear just watching this now days after. I'm extremely non-emotional culturally and otherwise but this tv episode broke me, in the best way.

@@davebalmada Many cried. I do!!

Me too but I don’t know why i am heartbroken. They had a wonderful life didn’t they, but I still feel sad.😢

It really did felt like a a24 movie, one with libertarianism, zombies and flamethrowers But still

@@matheussanthiago9685 ⬆️

So true, a movie within itself.

Except the part where he stands in the middle of the street with a sniper! Dumb

​@@drnkds Not really? The enemy is literally burning to death and getting electrocuted + it's literally dark. He used chaos and darkness as a disguise which is viable and regardless, he still got shot. It also wasn't a sniper, it was a rifle with a scope on it. You're cherry-picking here.

I agree with you. This is one of those TV episodes that transcends the medium and finds a home in the performing arts on its own.

This is award winning performance. No matter they will win it or not.

SPOILERSSSS It puzzled me for a second that the final scene was just an open window... then it hit me, they are there in the bed, that is the window they mention in the note... Yep, still not over it.

Of course they will. Gay kisses always get it 🤮

@@sonnyjs15 cope

Ikr I was hoping every episode was a homoerotic love story with dirty gay butt sex. I'm even questioning if I want to watch the rest of the series or just rerun episode 3 five times.

Was kinda gay

What if Bills not dead?

Oh we are definitely seeing Bill again

@@paulthealien8028 just like it was in the game

Never gets old.

Yes..then flip to his giddy giggles, he's a different kind of actor.

Ron Swanson in Europe is next level deadpan brilliance.

​@@danshotguns4226 his giggles are so hilarious :D somehow they don't fit him at all, and somehow they completely do

It made me cry again and again and again

Same.

@@2jz-boi Should have drank it instead

What a great comment, that's awesome because I've sadly seen many comments on other posts by many people showing their homophobia as opposed to seeing it for what it was just a love story.

I was in the same boat. These feelings they share for each other perfectly reflected how I feel about my wife. It's just a beautiful love story that anyone can relate to

@Jules B this world is leaving those homophobes behind and they know it. They're clawing for the last bit of relevance, and failing

I feel like there's no need to watch anymore episodes because I'll never see them again 😭😭😢 if so it was enough I loved it

It ended in tragedy which is too much for my heart to take. I cried over and over again.

​@@gumshew2007but was it tragedy? They died on their own terms and together. For me, It was anything but tragic.

Exactly right! 💕💕💕

Nick deserves the Emmy!!

🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

the black mirror episode "San Junipero" is also really good

Ruined the show for me tbh

@Yeah oh no they expanded on gay lore from the game.

Meaningful lives well lived. It doesn't get any better than that, apocalypse or not.

😭😭🍓🍓💓😍💓💓💓💓

😭😭🍓🍓🥺💕💕💕❤️❤️❤️

This 😭

Yes! I said this up too!

Fuck no

@@Yeah-wt1mu You do realise that you are in a minority of people right? You're free to have your opinion, but you don't have any credence to tell others that theirs is wrong.

Sadly they will both be nominated in the same category. My money's on Nick winning because it's such a departure from Ron Swanson, but they both deserve it.

@@marccardiff I think it would be a victory that they would share with eachother, albeit not on an official level. And yeah, Offerman winning makes sense. He also had more of a transformation on screen. Bill's journey from lonely survivalist to man capable of putting his partner first was great to watch. He depicted his vulnerability so well.

Same m8 its rare to see a post apocalyptic gay love story in such detail.

@Darth Vyper Absolutely! Took me off guard how well written it all was and it definitely pulled some heart strings, that's for sure 🙏🏼

Bill and Frank had AIDS. They were the real monsters of this series.

😭😭🍓🍓❤️💓❤️💓❤️

Hmmmm...considering this is the most recent episode please let me know how you've binged the rest? I'd like to see the whole series now.....

@@BBakira1031 I think they're saying they rewatched the first 3 currently available episodes

It was DISGUSTING. Bill and Frank had AIDS. They were the real monsters of this series.

😭😭🍓🍓😍😍💕🥺💕💕❤️

It's a massive stretch from what we are used to seeing from him, it feels pretty locked in, in spite of how early in the year it is.

They're not getting an Emmy for playing only 1 episode in a series. C'mon let's be real here

@@midgetporn9735 I guess the guest actor category doesn't exist anymore

I’m feeling exactly the same it hit me hard

You sound mentally ill, just like the mentally ill characters of the tv show. Remember to get your booster shots.

@@barrysuss4421 Nice to meet you too, kind stranger.

My partner and I were a snotty, snotty mess. Will be looking back on this moment in television for a very long time!

💓💓😭😭🍓🍓💓🥺💕💕

😭😭🍓🍓💓💓

Really? Over this?

@@alexmartinez9097 What's wrong? Too gay for you?

@Jonah Brown I just didn't buy their romance. The moment that led up to their 1st kiss, them playing on the piano was just cringe. And I'm gay myself

Bill and Frank had AIDS. They were the real monsters of this series.

😭😭🍓🍓😍💓🥰💓💓

That phrase has been honored in every aspect of the show. They chose two of the most amazing actors for their age (Ellie and Sarah) for the cast changes that some game fans disliked, with Sarah bringing the first tears. I'm still grieving her death because she was such a lovely character. For the virus's backstory, they have consistently shown the realism that creates a true horror because of the truth of what a pandemic would look like if such microorganisms got to infect people through food. This is a show intelligently done by passionate people. I deeply respect that.

100%, although the witcher was a book adaptation, it's the example that jumps to mind that is the polar opposite to The Last of Us. Even more changes were made to the witcher, but almost none of them improved or even matched the source material. The changes also betrayed the nature of the characters, The Last of Us so far has done a great job at keeping true to all of it's characters whilst expanding upon the original game

Lmao of course it’s better than the way Frank was portrayed. It’s not that hard to portray him better than a smoldering skeleton

😊

Agreed this is perfect for TV format. I understand why they did it differently in the game

😭😭🍓🍓💕💓💕💓💕

@@ethanharmer5151 sure but the note frank left in the game was super flat and one note considering they were lovers

Dirty gay butt sex should always deserve an award.

"On The Nature Of Daylight" and was also used in the begging and end of the movie Arrival and only know that because I just so happened to watch arrival last night and was like oh shit that same theme was used just on the last of us

Me too man. I can't think of many things I've seen that made me tear up that much. It takes expertise to tell a romantic tragedy with that much impact in such a short time frame.

I’ve seen a lot of people interpret this change as Bill fulfilling the same purpose as a foil to Joel in the game, but from the opposite side of the coin, so even though it’s a big change the message isn’t really lost. In the game Bill is bitter and alone, having driven off the only emotional connection he had (Frank) due to his abrasive attitude, which is a warning about what Joel might become if he can’t open himself up and emotionally connect with Ellie. Surviving, but emotionally dead and isolated, and without purpose. Bill in the show represents the value that being open to another person can have. He goes from just surviving to truly living and enjoying life once Frank encourages him to open up and care more about his surroundings & the little things in life, and he has something to fight for outside of himself. It’s representing what Joel’s life can be if he can move past his trauma and connect with Ellie. So Bill serves a similar purpose either way! Personally I think I like the more positive outlook in the show better.

He's that gay lol

This goes a wee bit deeper than just a “gay couple” to awesome performances of people finding comfort and satisfaction in life when those things in the world portrayed are damn near impossible to find..
