Another sensational episode. Pedro Pascal's acting in this episode evoked a wide range of emotions. Tears were streaming down my face during THAT scene with Tommy, Pedro absolutely nailed that scene. It was so great to see Joel's vulnerability on display. This episode was exceptionally well-written. His trauma and his fear of failing Ellie leading to him pleading with Tommy to take her off his hands was so incredibly heartwrenching to see. Both Pedro and Bella acted their socks off, the emotion displayed on screen felt incredibly authentic. Gabriel Luna was so incredible as Tommy as well

I love how they've humanized Joel more for show purposes. In the game he comes off a little bit more closed off.. Especially to Tommy.. and Tommy sort of figures out why Joel wants to give Ellie over by seeing how he is acting and caring for her. Its interesting seeing this more open Joel on the show that openly admits he is scared of losing her. And Pedro is doing such a good job. Especially in that scene where he thinks he sees his daughter for a moment.. Just his facial acting makes it feel so heavy. AND BELLA!! I can't even say enough good things about her acting. When Tommy walks in.. you can literally see her face drop .. because she was hoping it was going to be Joel. Ah. So good. Different from the game in many ways.. but such a welcome change. They are making the characters their own.. but they STILL feel like Joel And Ellie from the game too in many ways. Love it. A+ from me.

14:10 the movie they are watching is the classic film The Goodbye Girl with Richard Dreyfuss and Marsha Mason. The female lead is a single mom who is scared to love again because all of her boyfriends leave her and her young daughter. Over the course of the film she and her daughter grow emotionally attached to her male roommate turned boyfriend. Later in the movie, he has to say Goodbye to them for a short time.

It's funny you think that "maybe the fireflies got infected" when Joel and Ellie are looking into the science facility, because in the game, you find voice recorders from the doctor who was experimenting on the monkeys, and the monkeys were infected, though not hostile. The Doctor attempts to let the monkeys free since they're all leaving and gets bit in the process, which causes him to stay behind and unalive himself.

I love the scene with Joel being open and honest with Tommy. Moments like that, especially from male characters, make me such a happy person. I grew up watching my dad's collection of DVDs and Blu-Rays for entertainment, and a lot of his library is action, fantasy, or sci-fi and much of it from the 80s and early 90s, so a huge portion of the movies I've seen feature male protagonists that are the ultimate tough guy types. They don't cry or get scared or have emotions. They just kill tons of people and look cool doing it. I love characters like TV series Joel (I feel like video game Joel is more like that ultimate tough guy type). Pedro's Joel can have moments of doubt or worry and can be open and vulnerable talking to his brother and it doesn't make him any less cool, tough, or bad ass. Too bad society didn't wise up to toxic masculinity earlier. The men in my family have a huge problem with it.

I am relieved, in a way, how many people reacting to this episode are concerned for Joel and recognize a possible panic or anxiety attack (some have called it one, some have called it the other, some have asked which it was) but most don't distinguish between the anxiety/panic attack situation vs the possible physical condition. Joel is 56, and he's had nothing we'd consider "modern medical checkups" in most if not all of the last 20 years. Being someone who has a mild form of PTSD, has experienced anxiety attacks, has a malformed heart structure, and a history of heart problems in my family on both sides, this kind of sticks out to me. Few seconds later thank you for catching the "still" in "still gross" 6:25-6:30 "River of Death... There has to be something else going on." "River of Death" is a name Ellie gave the river. after the old couple in the cabin made statements of "don't ever cross this river" "If your brother is west of the river, he's gone" Like teenagers and kids do. It was never said by anyone other than her. You're not the first person I've seen get hung up on that. 10:45-10:50 Maria: "Who's been cutting your hair?" Ellie: "Uhh.. World class salons." Ep.1 Joel: "Where'd you get the money for this?" Sarah: "Drugs, I sell hardcore drugs." Seeing the parallel, or am I imagining? Although having had days to let it roll around in the back of my mind... I think Ellie handled the "conversation with Maria" well. But she could have popped off at her with "I'm not following him, I am the package he needs to get safely to its destination, I don't get there he's screwed. You want to help me? You want to protect me? You want to save me? Give us backup. Otherwise shut your f-ing face." [Honestly I wouldn't have been surprised if that was her response. They've a real firecracker in this character] 12:01-12:11 There are 2 very major points in these few seconds. 1. Joel is telling it to Tommy, all of it comes out. 2. Tommy is hearing his _brother_ say "I saw her get bit with my own eyes" (If *anyone* else said this, or if Joel said "she was bitten, I didn't see it" the levels of impact on Tommy would've been greatly reduced.) While at 14:22-14:24 Yes, Ellie knew that Joel lost his daughter, probably with no details, Joel doesn't know she knows, he's never shared that with her, and Ellie knows that he doesn't know of her awareness of it. You questioned why would Ellie ever say that "I don't see what Tommy was so worried about." Then your editing self calls you out for the "it could've been worse" right before the attack that leaves out Joel bleeding out.

I definitely think that it was a bit rushed in the show. I would have liked 5-10 more minutes there.

Pedro's acting of Joel is great. Makes Joel seem like a very realistic character. Ellie on the other hand just doesnt seem realistic at all, i dont know if its how its written of how the character is acted but nothing about Ellie seems realistic in the situation. Unless of course Ellie is a psychopath then it would make sense, there has been a couple of scenes that point in that direction.

Cause Joel traveled for months to make sure Tommy was ok, and lost is partner on the way, because Tommy stopped messaging him.
