The fact that Sam was so young in the show just made the ending a million times harder to watch. The acting was gutwrenching and perfect from everyone in that scene

Even when you know what’s coming it still feels like a knife in the heart.

The actors who played Henry and Sam were fantastic.

I had the exact same reaction on episode 3 lol This one is Bella's acting when she reacts to Henry's suicide and her screams asking for help. It got me terrified how that whole scene looked REAL.

I love how we can see you prepare for certain scenes by shuffling around haha. I thought the scene of their death was incredibly well filmed and acted.

Thank you, Derek! 🖍 I really appreciate your genuine expressions of emotion. It's healthy and beautiful (you're *not* an ugly crier, not in the least). #SleepyWaffles #TheLastOfUs #TLOU #TheLastOfUsHBO

I think your cat is adorable. Best episode cameo!

Hey Derek, thank you for sharing your genuine reaction with your channel. This was a heartbreaking episode. My cat, Wally and I are sending virtual hugs to you and everyone who had a crying session watching this episode 😭💔🐱🫂 P.S. 59:30 omg such a cute catto!!! 😻

That kid playing Sam was so good.

This was the only episode I recall that I cried about. The kid who plays Sam is just too adorable. I think his name is Keivonn. He's such a bright light in his interviews. That smile! 4:31 Exactly! Also, hugs for you! That is a super rough scene to watch!

Yeah the actors are great! I teared up watching BTS for this episode too

No shame crying over Dan in Lucifer, I thought I wasn't really invested in him or the show yet I sobbed over him like a baby. 😭 And you're not an ugly crier at all! Personally I cried the most over Bill and Frank but this one got to me too, especially how it affected Ellie.

Fun fact: the actress of the little clicker girl really IS a gymnast.

I’m going in blind to the series. I assumed Henry would die but I hoped that Sam would survive. He’s just so adorable. 😢

this episode camefor my jugular and then took it. not only did it hit like a truck it also it hit like a truck on fire

I thought Bill and Frank's death was sadder. Probably because I thought Bill was gonna live. I knew Henry and Sam were gonna die and didn't cry at all but I still cry every time I watch Bill and Frank's episode. Wish they filmed Henry and Sam first so they could live at Bill and Frank's place in peace.

I'm sad we didn't get the moment with Ellie giving him the toy but they made up for it and the episode hit me hard.

Each subsequent episode surpasses the previous one in emotional impact, with exceptional character development and masterful writing.

The ending of this episode got me good. I definitely cried more in ep 3.. that was the one that had me with tears streaming down my face. I was expecting what happened to Sam but then Henry 🥺😭😭😭

The last of us is so good at showing us that there are always two sides to every coin. And just because someone is a HERO in your eyes, doesn't mean they are a hero. Case and point, Henry is Sam's hero. But he was MIchael and Katherine's villain. Joel is Ellie's hero, but he was Brian's villain. For every action there is a reaction that can ripple through time. I'm still struggling with some of the moral choices these games / TV series made. My mind still wonders what I would have done... It's crazy to know they found the kid playing Sam over Twitter. They couldn't find a kid actor who had the right feels but this child was just... Oh man, I think he destroyed me almost as much as Sarah did. This series surpassed my expectation by a THOUSAND

Finally sat down to continue watching your reaction and man you quickly jumped as one of my favourites for it. This story is just heartbreaking and it only gets worse ☠️. Why do I torture myself with it? Hahahah. I love it so much. Also that what if talk around 47:00 is exactly why I read fanfiction. Fandom got my back to emotionally heal me from canon but also sometimes destroy me even more... -I read one fanfic that Joel and Tess traded places for example and of course Sam and Henry fix it-

Just to think….if they had walked in more of a safe way, not in middle of the street, they may have made it out of the town and went to wyoming all together 😢. Should have been more stealthy, hiding behind cars or walking behind homes. That old dude wouldnt see them. Can u believe the kid who plays sam got an emmy nomination for this and its his first acting role!

I don't think Kathleen's revenge against Henry and Sam was because her brother was such a good person, to her?, yes, other than that I don't feel she cared, he didn't care for her brother's last plead to forgive. I don't see eye on an eye, I see eye for the two eyes, the leg, the heart. But at the end, she died in the hands of a little kid, so that was a win-win. Bye Kansas, I don't know how bad was Fedra but there was a reason why Kathleen's brother coped with them all these years , their freedom celebration only lasted 11-12 days at most. I believe Craig Masin did this remembering COVID -19, just for wearing masks and to stay inside for a while, in some states they were "give me freedom or give me dead" how ridiculous could that be? I know is a game, I know is not the same, but when i see Kansas city that comes to my mind.

So Sam was just a regular kid in the game? Not deaf, but was he sick?

your genuin reaction made me cried again, Derek. Thanks.

Cool mjolnir. I miss the waterfall scene and Joel hitting Henry. But the sinkhole was awesome. Is that the same lady who was in two and a half men? she's always playing the sweet innocent insane person lol.

I didnt like joel at the end the show bc of what he did. But since finishing, i learned about pedro and how amazing he is, so im struggling now. I want to see joel as good because pedro is.

Stop forcing yourself to cry 😭 It’s cringe.
