- 3:39the first time this series ramped up like this.
- 3:43This is a incredibly sad episode.

- 3:50and a good headspace, like maybe save this for like a sunny day.

- 4:17These the bill episode in the as the bill so it is so beautiful.
- 4:21It is by saying it has beautiful sadness happy it's very happy.
- 4:27That's what they said they said the bill episode was happy.
- 4:32Yeah and this episode is fucking not everybody.
- 4:36Everybody watched episode 3 and they were like okay that's that
- 4:38was beautiful. Those like 10/10 pretty good and
- 4:41then episode 4. Like they see, ya, Neil
- 4:44druckmann goes, that's the happy episode and everybody's like,
- 4:45yeah, he's just talking. Now, that's what we did on the
- 4:48show. Sister, like you trying to get
- 4:49people, he's like he's trying to get people to, you know, just
- 4:52watch the next episode and then episode for came, and I was
- 4:54like, yeah, see exactly were right in that episode 5 came in.
- 4:56I was like, holy shit. So Ryan I was watching this
- 5:00episode with Noah our graphic designer and really good friend
- 5:04of item designs. Yeah.
- 5:06And we were speechless because like the episode ramps, that the
- 5:14thing with this episode, it doesn't, it's not like a
- 5:16Perpetual thing. Like it's like it 30% the whole
- 5:20all's you, it lulls you, it's like hey welcome to episode 5
- 5:24you know like okay cool like it's another cold open
- 5:27phenomenal. We'll get into all this in a
- 5:29minute. It's it just lulls you into the
- 5:33sense of like we're saying is, it's five minutes.
- 5:46How the fuck did we get here? Well, that's bring everything in
- 5:50between, so that is exactly what I'm getting at though.
- 5:55Like the ramp was so wild where we're sitting there going.
- 6:00Okay. okay, and then it hits were like Fuck.
- 6:07They're like yeah, dude. All right.
- 6:09Well yeah, just yeah, the cold open.
- 6:12I think is very great. The tire was phenomenal.
- 6:17The tie-in. Yeah, they did a really good
- 6:19job, tying everything in. I liked how they got us.
- 6:22Two, we follow you. I liked the, the touch they
- 6:25added, which makes me think now of The game.
- 6:30Yeah. When they're fighting after the
- 6:32Ambush, if Henry saw Joel fighting in the game like I like
- 6:36that touch. That was so like it's cool
- 6:40because it was like it was only an 11-day Gap from when they
- 6:44broke free from fedra and the way that the entire way to like
- 6:48when you say when they, when they make their game plan
- 6:51together to leave the attic and they get to that door that table
- 6:57against the door and he Looks Henry looks up and you hear the
- 7:01gunshots? And I immediately was like,
- 7:02that's, that's Joel. That's what we, that's what me
- 7:04and Noah said, yep. Yeah.
- 7:15Will you see him Dome that guy too?
- 7:18If they didn't shy away from that?
- 7:20No, they didn't. I liked it.
- 7:21And I liked how they even did that.
- 7:22Little touch of Henry. Thinking that Joel was looking
- 7:27at them, right? Because Joel never does because
- 7:29if Joel saw somebody looking at him he certainly would have
- 7:31reacted to a right. Here's the thing though.
- 7:33I think no, I know he didn't see him but apartment you like did
- 7:38Joel because Joel is very acute and aware.
- 7:42He's a especially aware of when there could be more people
- 7:46coming. And like you just that that is
- 7:48like, that sort of situation. But I like that tie in and how
- 7:51they kind of get us from seeing the attic in episode 4.
- 7:55And just kind of knowing. Yeah there's a story that
- 7:57happened here seeing that story be played out and then seeing
- 8:00Henry and Sam meet Joel and Ellie which I got to say, my
- 8:04parents were cracking up that entire like interaction where he
- 8:09she's like nah that's just an asshole but he talks like an
- 8:11asshole all the time to see what she's like as well.
- 8:13Yeah, yes. I say something.
- 8:14She's say hi. And he goes.
- 8:16Hello. And she's like, because she's
- 8:18absolutely say that they that were okay, yeah, we're fine.
- 8:25That wasn't convincing. He's I did that's like awesome
- 8:29shit. You would see, not trying to
- 8:31plug the server that shit you would literally see in this one
- 8:35camp summer. It's like like okay make this
- 8:38person feel better. It's like someone says something
- 8:40and you're like, dude, that did not that didn't that didn't do
- 8:44it. Yeah.
- 8:45No Honestly though, we talked about the cold open for a
- 8:47minute. Yeah.
- 8:48What do you want to talk about? But it just Death By A Thousand
- 8:52Cuts guy that was even cuts. That wasn't.
- 8:56So if you if you look it was a bunch of fucking screwdrivers.
- 9:00Like someone opened the fucking Hardware.
- 9:02Cabinet was just like, yeah, dude, I was like, I was Dude, I
- 9:10was like talking to him like they did not pull back punches
- 9:15for that. I was gonna say that too because
- 9:17I was watching it and I was like, okay, really them out.
- 9:19You got to be some form of aggressive to drive a company
- 9:22like Phaedra, if I'm not mistaken.
- 9:25I thought I saw when they first cut to the dead person on the
- 9:27ground, I thought it was a kid, like a baby.
- 9:28Like I thought, like just with the way that it was not.
- 9:31Blair was yours. Dad, almost you see in the show
- 9:35right now wouldn't be that hard for you to find and we will get
- 9:39to that. More like that.
- 9:41Unfortunately, a lot of that was.
- 9:43Yeah, the cold open. I thought was really good just
- 9:45in showing. I mean so if you listen to the
- 9:48after like five minute thing after each episode, that is what
- 9:54Craig Mazin says, I think in that or the they're like,
- 9:57they're recording that they do after each episode.
- 9:58But he said something about that, where he's like, typically
- 10:01you see throughout history that there's a, there's an occupying
- 10:04Force, that's a terrible influence, or like their job.
- 10:07So for yeah and then the and then there's a Ellucian that
- 10:10happens and they end up not being nearly.
- 10:12They're not better. They're worse or just the same
- 10:15and you got to really see that in some ways through episode 4
- 10:18of how they're just knock on people's doors down because
- 10:21Kathleen tells them to look for Henry.
- 10:22But you really get to see the night that it happens where it's
- 10:26like they're breaking bottles over Federal people's heads, you
- 10:29know they're just you know going wild they don't care.
- 10:31Let you have the death from 1000, get the hanging the one
- 10:33dude. Yeah, they all got into their
- 10:34trucks and their driving off and they're throwing bottles and
- 10:37spray painting the sides of the vehicles and tell them.
- 10:39Yeah. They're going crazy.
- 10:41And I like that thing that you brought up their neck is that
- 10:44it's been 11 days, like that, not even been two weeks.
- 10:50Would you assume that they've done?
- 10:52That, that was two years ago. Three years ago, dude.
- 10:55It's me while I wouldn't say two years, but I thought like, I
- 11:02thought a couple weeks like maybe a month, you know.
- 11:04I thought it was like years. Okay?
- 11:08Yeah. I thought it was like maybe a
- 11:09month. I thought it.
- 11:09Just like without some of its disorganized have their shit
- 11:12together to a degree, though. Yes, it was because
- 11:37she was rough because there was a Yeah, like towards the end,
- 11:41which we'll get to. Yeah, the just there was you I
- 11:43think you guys could tell which line I'm talking about, but
- 11:46like, there's a line where I just was like, okay, like you,
- 11:49you Christian, maybe she's a good guy and maybe her brother
- 11:53was kind of the bad guy and I'm like, my brother was kind of a
- 11:56bad guy. I'm going to kind of assume that
- 11:58she's probably a bad person as well and then she has to be
- 12:01completely mad. You said a couple things.
- 12:04I was like yeah no no, no bad guy, bad guy.
- 12:06No. Redeeming quality brother was a
- 12:08good one. Yeah.
- 12:10Apparently, according to everybody that like mentions
- 12:13him, he's like a saint like even when he gets locked up, he's
- 12:16still like almost just wanted to be free of federal control and
- 12:20music on Peaceful protesters. I mean by and large is described
- 12:27as being one like, yeah, he wasn't, but I'm saying that the,
- 12:30the people who said that about him are also the same people who
- 12:33believe in that same aspect for cat.
- 12:35Well, we'll get to that. So, because what Henry says,
- 12:39Yeah, so we'll get that later on the episode but dude, that whole
- 12:43open was phenomenal, man, it was great.
- 12:46It was the tie in that. Was that if you were to look at
- 12:51a TV show, that's Cinema that is Cinema, that was a wonderful tie
- 12:55and I thought that time was really good because it's also
- 12:58like in the times, the only times we've gotten previously
- 13:01really have been, you know, they're years like they're at
- 13:04the start of the outbreak like one and two are at the start of
- 13:06the outbreak in terms of those episode numbers and This is.
- 13:09Yeah. Like ten days.
- 13:11It will either lead. Episode 1 is like 30 30 years in
- 13:14the past, I guess. Yeah.
- 13:15Hypothesis that. This could happen you, right?
- 13:17Yeah. It's 30.
- 13:18Gold. Open is getting.
- 13:19It's almost like every cold. Open is slowly getting closer
- 13:23and closer. Yeah.
- 13:24Currently, which makes me curious to that end of episode 8
- 13:28and 9? I wonder what those colder.
- 13:31Ooh, good call Oogie. Yeah, I'm honestly, a, here's
- 13:36the thing is that I've been Ever since we started this and we're
- 13:41recording every episode, like, our reactions are reviews and
- 13:43whatnot. I have been at this point where
- 13:46it's like, yeah, I know what's happening.
- 13:48I know how this is going. And now that we've just finished
- 13:50this, I'm sitting here going my brains peeling through
- 13:53information of the game that I remember and then going it's
- 13:58almost like an Assassin's Creed memories thinking it's failing
- 14:00every time where I'm like, okay, I remember when I remember when
- 14:04Jill meets Tommy and the game and then I'm seeing the preview
- 14:07for The Next Episode. I'm going, that's not how Joe
- 14:08me. Is Tommy in the game, like, oh
- 14:10my God, completely completely different.
- 14:13So I'm really, really thrown that mental state out in terms
- 14:17of like if there's a moment that I see on screen and I'm like
- 14:21that's from the game that I make that connection.
- 14:23But yeah, stops caring about like trying to force it because
- 14:27at the end of the day they're doing a great job with it.
- 14:31And as the point that that the director made in that cut at the
- 14:35end, They look at the game and they look at their ideas.
- 14:39It's there and they try better CEO go with it.
- 14:42If it's equal or worse, it will stick to the game with what
- 14:47they've done. That's not gang-related, it has
- 14:50been on equal quality. Like there was a part in the
- 14:53game. We're in the show this episode
- 14:55where they are in that bunker, that kids area in driving with a
- 14:59Christian ago, secretly, I kind of wish that this was in the
- 15:02game like this exact room, because, as you can see, if you
- 15:04could picture it being in the game, Really.
- 15:06Yeah, really like to just walk around and enjoy.
- 15:09This this setting is really interesting in like you know,
- 15:13they make that little nod where there's the poster on the wall
- 15:15that relates to the gay but I almost want to like the vice
- 15:17versa where it was like, you get to walk around that room from
- 15:20the show. Then you get to physically pick
- 15:22up kids notes or teachers notes and read them and get really
- 15:25involved in that in that setting.
- 15:27So they're doing silly job. I've said, I've stopped really
- 15:30caring about what's going to be from the game at this point
- 15:34because I think is you guys. You know, you guys are kind of
- 15:36worried at first but the pacing one season for it to fit.
- 15:39It this giant ass game. It's gonna work.
- 15:42What we've seen think it's working.
- 15:43They're pacing where I think we're.
- 15:47So the funny thing is this they actually in the behind the
- 15:51scenes for this episode, they bring up this.
- 15:53You haven't seen much infected, there's good reason because in
- 15:57fact, it is gameplay, right? It's working though and it makes
- 16:02fucking sense. And that like we they almost
- 16:06made the people at the end. The gameplay like they're the
- 16:08gameplay and I mean fucking a. Yeah, you know, like it's
- 16:13working man like I've got I've come to learn to for what I do.
- 16:21Remember of the game because I played this game, Evan.
- 16:23I was in Logan. I was smiling.
- 16:25I was probably in my early late teens.
- 16:29They see how old are you now, 31.
- 16:32So you would have been 21. Damn, really fun years ago.
- 16:59I was just laughing because I'm realizing that this came out 10
- 17:02years ago. You were 21.
- 17:04He was 18. I played this game.
- 17:06I was 13 years old. You see this?
- 17:08You see this giant Gap. So that's awesome though.
- 17:11And I played it and let me tell you as a thirteen-year-old
- 17:14you're like Yammer is the zombie game.
- 17:15I remember the trailer. Cool.
- 17:16And then you get 10 minutes into it.
- 17:18You're like holy shit. I just watched someone my age
- 17:20get shot and die. Anyway you're like oh my God.
- 17:23Like that, that hurt. Like I think I grew up a little
- 17:25that day. I was like Jesus that's rough.
- 17:27Everything that closer emotional attachment because of the age
- 17:31for sure. Yeah well the thing that Evan
- 17:32and Logan brought up that I find interesting is there and I agree
- 17:37with the sentiment is you're looking in your head, your
- 17:41memory bank, and your brain going.
- 17:44I know. Imagine I know what's going to
- 17:46happen. Yeah I'm I'll be okay.
- 17:50Shit pops off you go that didn't happen.
- 17:53I am not okay. It still hurts.
- 17:56Like it's still so close. I was with him Henry and Sam not
- 18:01so much. I mean, but the thing is it
- 18:03still could fit the game. They if you completely erased
- 18:06Henry and say I'm situation in the actual Asus gaming replaced
- 18:09it with that scenario, it would still work and that's why it
- 18:12still works. So well, it doesn't feel.
- 18:14Out of place, may we also talked about Henry and Sam.
- 18:18Let's, let's, let's, let's, let's diapered a little bit here
- 18:21and let's talk. It talk about every and Sam.
- 18:24Let's talk specifically at the moment about Sam and the fucking
- 18:28kid who played him because motherfucker that kid rules.
- 18:33Dude, that girl is awesome. I love that kid.
- 18:36That key is my fucking ugly wounds.
- 18:44And do that kid really, I'm cheated everyone on set was like
- 18:48willing to learn like not even just the actors like you saw
- 18:51this. Esther is exactly.
- 18:54And I'm not saying this kid rules because he's deaf, I'm
- 18:58saying he rules because it's very fucking a great actor.
- 19:04He fucking every time that kids on the screen that is his
- 19:08fucking scene and then said he's deaf and that just adds to it.
- 19:13Do, I couldn't take my goals like like when there's the same
- 19:16between him and Ali when they're reading through the comic book
- 19:18in there like their signing to each other, I couldn't take my
- 19:21eyes off him. I was like, I just love
- 19:23Beautiful Moments, the look on his face.
- 19:25He's acting so, well, with what's going on and he just he's
- 19:29getting it, right? So good thing.
- 19:31This is acting, oh my God, it's not good.
- 19:46Kids fault to the day their kids, but when you can see a kid
- 19:49that young performing is such a Korea's role that well, it just
- 19:55makes it like, it just gives it that much more realism.
- 19:58Because, like, when they showed that he was actually deaf, I was
- 20:01also like, okay, actually that makes this moment.
- 20:04So I order but way more involved in depth and I knew he was done
- 20:09with Evan. And I both knew he was there.
- 20:11I knew he was deaf. This kid rules, dude?
- 20:24Like yeah, man, every scene he was in the entire episode but
- 20:29like what I'm saying is his presence and him going.
- 20:33Fuck. All of you.
- 20:35This is my show. No, he was supposed to be, he
- 20:39was supposed to be the standout and every time they showed him
- 20:44he made sure that he delivered and Was that?
- 20:46Who you're so good? It's fantastic.
- 20:49Like what I will bring it up yet like the spoilers because we're
- 20:52still going to be episode, but that last scene of The crucial
- 20:54scene, the acting on that was so incredible from him.
- 20:57That Christie literally asked even though it's such a awful
- 21:00scene. Christy literally wanted to go
- 21:02back and re-watch it because he's like that was just like
- 21:04that was so awesome. I want to also give a shout-out
- 21:08to the actor who played Henry. I was absolutely captivating.
- 21:12Again, that last scene is acting in that last scene.
- 21:15Wow, that was fun. Like I was like, literally,
- 21:17Christina, like jaw dropped just like what else could happen II
- 21:21was I was just amazed. I was my both them, honestly.
- 21:24Like, again, it's kind of funny because we've talked about
- 21:27episode 3 being, you know, Bill and Frank, and yeah, and like,
- 21:31realistically, we've gotten episodes two and four with Ellie
- 21:36and Joel and really focusing on them.
- 21:37Whereas, with this, it was all, we were still mostly, I mean,
- 21:40throughout the whole episode, we were with Henry and Sam, but
- 21:44Even when we had jointly together, I was still focused on
- 21:49more. Yes, Henry in sand, like
- 21:51i--'cause, I know them. And I understand what happens.
- 21:54And I love them for who they are in both game and show.
- 21:59And it was just the, it was watching especially Henry in the
- 22:03bunker. Like, we learned so much about
- 22:05Henry and this in and granted, you don't, that doesn't matter
- 22:08in the game, because in the game, they're in Pittsburgh,
- 22:10they're not even in the same city, it's not the same
- 22:12situation, but To see, you know, you hear this whole story of
- 22:16Kathleen and she's hunting Henry, because something
- 22:18happened to her brother. Nobody Army said for one guy,
- 22:22seems kind of excessive, doesn't it?
- 22:24Yeah, I've done that and I'm a bad guy.
- 22:32I love it. How he goes into it, dude.
- 22:34Yeah, he goes into it and he says yeah, you know, like and
- 22:37the hurting the the hurtful thing about it is him going and
- 22:40saying, you know, he was a great man.
- 22:43Never ask for anything. Wasn't self-love this man?
- 22:45He was a, yeah, he loved him and he goes and, you know, Sam had
- 22:50cancer and yeah, yeah. Yeah leukemia and I had to save
- 22:54him and there was only one drug that could and Phaedra had It
- 22:58like like he's describing how like how he has to do?
- 23:03Is it like this is the situation I was in almost not even asking
- 23:07to Joel but just posing the scenario and saying what would
- 23:10you do? And Joel is looking at him like
- 23:12I would do the same damn same fucking thing and he goes you
- 23:16may not be your father but I know you were a father.
- 23:18Someone else I can tell that hurt me that was an emotional
- 23:22punch out loud. I went you don't bring that up
- 23:26and you know how that's immediately when that That scene
- 23:28ends, you know? Yeah, a drug gets up and says,
- 23:30alright, we've waited long enough and even L he's like,
- 23:32yes, that's this is cute. That's his cute of go.
- 23:35I'm shutting down your too close.
- 23:37I gotta, I gotta, I gotta, I gotta push you out, which is
- 23:40unable to do. He is unable to push salmon
- 23:43Henry out, and I love that. I love selling calls about that
- 23:47leader calls about A sweating every episode.
- 23:59It's becoming harder and harder to say well just cargo and I
- 24:04said Elly calls about. She's like, he tells you you
- 24:07guys can't come with us, he'll change his mind.
- 24:10He's gonna go. No and then I go ask what
- 24:12million times and ago fine. And that will she know.
- 24:17So is it always goes this way? He goes yes no we're not gonna
- 24:20do that and then I asked him like a million times and he says
- 24:24I'm going to come To bring us up real quick.
- 24:27I'm sorry. No good.
- 24:29I know we've seen Ali as Ellie the Pasco episodes.
- 24:35Bella Ramsay has been killing it.
- 24:39This was LE 120. Fucking.
- 24:43Princess is where you see her evolved.
- 24:45At least in that setting of this was a leading to not become that
- 24:50scared, little girl, exactly. Even though starting to snap
- 24:55into that, Even though at the end, I'll spoil the right now,
- 25:01you know, Sam goes. Are you ever afraid?
- 25:03She goes all the time. All the fucking I do.
- 25:08I look afraid and he says, never and he goes, well, I'm afraid
- 25:11all the time well, and I love. This is something that has
- 25:15really, this never explained in either of the games or the DLC,
- 25:19for part 1, but it's something that if you're not, you don't be
- 25:23eagle-eyed to pick up on it. But if you pay attention to
- 25:25Ellie and you understand where she's coming.
- 25:27Increment. The reason she says things.
- 25:29She says it. She writes it in this episode.
- 25:31She goes, I'm scared of being alone.
- 25:33And that is her biggest fear. Is he is alone for long.
- 25:36She will not let go Joel and it is so he's got her.
- 25:44Even if they were going to that drop-off Point, even if they did
- 25:47make it like she's sad. we'll come back to that because
- 26:18whoever that little actress was my girlfriend, they definitely
- 26:22hired life, some Young kid toys. He was a Russian tour Romanian
- 26:27as a Russian or maybe what has to be Romanian?
- 26:31Look up. Look up.
- 26:31Look up Romanian, gymnast or like one of the best in the
- 26:33world. That's why I brought it up as a
- 26:35funny. Anyways, everything is the best
- 26:37in the world in Romania. Anyway.
- 26:38No, it's not remain as our shit, all country.
- 26:40I just my family resides from there.
- 26:43The penguin is my city dude, back to Kansas City.
- 26:47Anyway, we're back on their back in the States.
- 26:50The Good Old City. They've devised the plan.
- 26:54They're getting out of the city and it seems.
- 26:56Yes, it does. We've already gotten to the
- 26:59bunker. We've already talked about that.
- 27:01They arise from the bunker a little town.
- 27:05Now, this is over. Yes, ever talk in the kids room
- 27:10about how to get to it before they well, they're making the
- 27:14plan in that in that hotel, you know.
- 27:15They make that idea of okay. Here's the plan and talks about
- 27:19the tunnels and how they're used to be a bunch of infected
- 27:22Federal. Said, two or three years ago,
- 27:25they colluded Adam. Yeah, I was honestly really
- 27:28expecting to see a scene there where like, you know, shit went
- 27:31sour. So to see them just kind of pop
- 27:33out into the town, I was like, oh, they they made it and it
- 27:36was, I would say was always, though it was a good like die.
- 27:41Persian. It was a sign.
- 27:43It was a, it was a diversion because I was like, okay, then
- 27:46go that they know the typical route where it's like.
- 27:48Okay, here we are and how your big bold letters.
- 27:51There's a clicker. Or here's some Infected know,
- 27:56they get to The Burbs and they meet a sniper essentially Andy I
- 28:01think is there and yeah remember Andy or Andrew or whatever and
- 28:05it just it's just this awesome scene man.
- 28:09And I told Noah because like they're pinned down by gunfire
- 28:14and Joel's like listen you look Sally's like do you trust me?
- 28:18He is not going to hit you. He has shit aim and when he said
- 28:21he has shit. Hey Matt his Work out, he has
- 28:24shitty, I do Dyke, there's lizard wrong.
- 28:27Do he wasn't that old ass bitch, but this episode does something
- 28:33really well and it is adding a bit of levity to something.
- 28:37So, heavy Until the End, obviously which are about to,
- 28:41we're going to get to very soon. So this scene happens and I
- 28:45thought the way they shot, the scene in The Burbs was just so
- 28:50well done. And we've brought this up every
- 28:53Episode. But it's so convincing this is
- 28:56done. The, the budget here is just so
- 29:00amazing. Well, we've discussed it before
- 29:03that, they've got it. They got more for like this
- 29:06entire season than all of the first five seasons of Game of
- 29:08Thrones and to, which people were pissed about, I guess,
- 29:12whatever. Get over it.
- 29:13The, you know what, the last thing was that made HBO a ton of
- 29:16fucking money was Game of Thrones and you know what has
- 29:19yet to fucking throw money again, they don't give a fuck.
- 29:26That has been that good of a story and made them that much
- 29:29money. Nothing.
- 29:31It's just. It's also because they last
- 29:33season the game Sopranos better than we were the rounds.
- 29:36Yeah, you're comparing apples to oranges.
- 29:39I'm not compared. I compared a Honeycrisp to a
- 29:42yeah, seriously, like I. Yeah.
- 29:46Anyway, moving on. Good cereal.
- 29:50Both good series, I would say up until a certain season for one
- 29:53of my guys, nice, high five internet.
- 29:55Figure, that figure, that one out.
- 29:57Um, but yeah, I was going to say it's very, very instant and I've
- 30:01loved seeing on, when I was using Twitter, I saw the I
- 30:07forget their name but he was basically like the an episode
- 30:12for you. See a lot of these broken down
- 30:14cars. Yeah.
- 30:15And he was posting the like continuous shot.
- 30:20Shot of like ear was. Here's what it was day one.
- 30:22Here's what it was day, 12. Here's what it is in the final
- 30:25shy. Here's what it is before cut
- 30:26like edits basically and it was just so cool to see them, lay
- 30:30the scene down, physically, and, and make everything.
- 30:32My dad actually asked that in episode 4 as well, where he's,
- 30:35they're driving through and they go through the bridge, and it's
- 30:38got the overturned ships and the in the river.
- 30:41And my dad's, like, how do they do that?
- 30:43Like, is that like, it looks real?
- 30:44Did they put fake ones there that looked real?
- 30:47Did they CGI? How do they do it?
- 30:49And I The say because of what you said as well.
- 30:51Like the houses look like they are.
- 30:53They've been like empty for those are the real things
- 30:57Street. Yeah, they like the Earth has
- 30:59reclaimed. What?
- 30:59It's what is it says it? Which is the whole point.
- 31:02I guess what would happen if he exists and it shows all the
- 31:08major cities and like the deputation time.
- 31:11Like, it felt like you were watching that, but they like,
- 31:14took the notes from that, just replicated it.
- 31:17And, of course, bigger budgets, and think about that much.
- 31:20You better be like that shit. Look like they were walking down
- 31:23and I think another another show that's similar to that, that was
- 31:28equally able to do. It was Walking Dead.
- 31:31Walking Dead head, pretty good jobs and stuff.
- 31:33And some of those like a survival game, can't mention
- 31:36stuff, like the towns where you really did feel like this is a
- 31:39town that was abandoned and people are now slowly kind of
- 31:43like bills, bills compound like slowly trying to make it look
- 31:47normal. Yeah, there's a different visual
- 31:49style but I definitely agree. Yeah.
- 31:51And some respect just the atmosphere.
- 31:53You felt like you were in a real town.
- 31:55That's how it felt like you were walking down an old suburb but
- 31:57no one's lived in for 20 years. That's yeah.
- 32:00Gone it's gone. It's no longer Supply have a.
- 32:03I think that the the visuals that I liked for this especially
- 32:07that seen Nick is. Yeah.
- 32:09I liked the obviously the the cinematography the composition
- 32:13of all the shots and just how the scene was set up like in
- 32:16terms of the setting and everything like that.
- 32:18I thought It was great but I love the dialogue of Joe.
- 32:21Looking at Ellen going, do you trust me?
- 32:23And then also when Joel says like he it's darkening a shit am
- 32:28is I love. It's, it's Joel continuously
- 32:32saying to both not only l.a. now, but to Henry and Sam as
- 32:35well as hey, I've been around the block and that's why I'm
- 32:39here like because there's that time to where he's pissed at
- 32:42them right before. He's like shut the fuck up.
- 32:44Like we're walking to the Dome Henry of Sam.
- 32:46Try to book it while they're getting.
- 32:48A shot at the case. Then they do 118 go.
- 32:50That was bad, never mind. Yeah.
- 32:53And Joel's almost looking at him like you should have listened to
- 32:56me. Like a fucking is not the first
- 32:59time that Joel makes that look. Because when they're going down
- 33:01into the sewers. And Joel asked Sally, like he's
- 33:04like Get Your Gun out and she grabs it out of her pouch and he
- 33:07looks at her and there's no dialogue, but it's just the
- 33:09simple look of I told you to put it in your backpack and yeah me.
- 33:13We'll talk about this later depending on camera me.
- 33:21And he turns around to unlock the door and she immediately
- 33:23left looks at it. And then looks at her, she sold
- 33:26herself out of this episode. So, yeah, but I love that.
- 33:29I love that acting where she, she looks at him like, okay.
- 33:33Oh, like he's gonna come over late season.
- 33:36It's back to that mindset that she has of him, or it's like
- 33:39he's gonna say, no. But if I do it, or if I asked a
- 33:42million times at the end of the day, Yeah, what's he really
- 33:46gonna do to me, ground? Me and despair.
- 33:48And right now, he's like, I can't yell at you.
- 33:50And like Siri what? You get, what am I going to do?
- 33:54I'm not gonna tell you to put it away now.
- 33:55Well, save it that to think what am I good at?
- 33:57How am I going to thread you? What am I going to do?
- 33:59You pull a gun out and say, my life?
- 34:00So that means I'm going to take my gun out and put it to your
- 34:02head and then you didn't listen to me like what do you do in
- 34:05that possible? Joel's like brain our front of
- 34:12people and I got to meet you. But yes, I did.
- 34:21Notice that. I love that tie like this Doles.
- 34:24Like, yeah, really. Well, I laughed about that too
- 34:27because, you know, he says, Henry's outlet that day care
- 34:31areas. As, you know, I'm a bad guy.
- 34:33Did bad things in there my head. I'm like, Joel tell you.
- 34:36But if you could tell you the stuff he's done, I'm sure you
- 34:38would look at him back. Oh, I'm a good guy.
- 34:39You're the bad guy? Yeah, I like how they're they're
- 34:44really Weaving. A different thing that you will
- 34:46in this entire series is like in the game.
- 34:49He is cold and inhospitable. Most of the time even to Henry
- 34:52and Sam, he never really warms up.
- 34:54But then, in this episode, yeah, when Henry goes, hey, you know,
- 34:57this is what it is, blah blah blah, and Joel goes, You Know,
- 35:01You're a Rat. I'm not going to work with a
- 35:03rat, you know? That was a hard-ass line
- 35:05diverting back to test like just, you know, know this is
- 35:09what she told me. I'm not going to listen to you
- 35:10because she's thinking, Robert was rag, you know, he's thinking
- 35:13the same stuff. and then he thinks about it and he goes,
- 35:17listen, if you were doing it for him, I understand there's to me,
- 35:20was also a click, he clicks right there and he says, you
- 35:26know, you have to You have to do what you have to do to save your
- 35:31loved ones and that's that. So you brought up the ratline.
- 35:38Did you had me worrying? Like I was, I had my micro
- 35:41screwed up. You may go.
- 35:41No, you're just you're perfect. You're perfect.
- 35:44Sorry. I had to get that out the.
- 35:47The light he brought up. You're a fucking rat.
- 35:50That's exactly what Kathleen says that group.
- 35:54She is interrogating. So your fucking rats and a
- 35:57complete? Yeah, there's edited Circle.
- 36:00They said same towels Circle Dude.
- 36:03And when they did that, I went holy shit.
- 36:08Yeah because Kathleen and Joel of both been wrong here.
- 36:12The difference is though is that Joel is able to live with it and
- 36:16go on and one of the things Joel is breathing I wouldn't say he's
- 36:20living with the he's breathing able to cope with it though.
- 36:23Yes this is that and what the actress who played Kathleen said
- 36:27which I think she said it was Even if Kathleen was able to
- 36:32redeem this shit would change exactly cover from.
- 36:36Yeah, she was solely focused. She was solely focused on
- 36:40getting Henry and that's all that mattered.
- 36:42Which is the even still at what happened?
- 36:44If I didn't come out, and she shot him and he dropped to the
- 36:48floor dead. And she's nothing, she would
- 36:51have gone home and still kept that same anger.
- 36:53But well, here's the thing, the revolution many nothing.
- 36:56Then that's the biggest. Fuck all.
- 36:59Revolution meant nothing because Kathy another day, the brother
- 37:03had already gotten caught killed and he probably wanted.
- 37:06He wanted actually do something though, right?
- 37:08Like exactly and Kathleen. Drove it into the fucking ground
- 37:12became the same thing. Federal was she inherited this
- 37:15revolution from her brother were and even Perry says that where
- 37:18he's like, you're the one who's changed things and it's like yes
- 37:21but he's almost saying it with a hint of like don't do what I
- 37:24think you're going to do with that kind of affirmation.
- 37:28And that's what I thought at first and my wife is good, my
- 37:32wife is gonna be thinking, I'm talking shit about her.
- 37:35I'm not talking shit about you honey, but Perry in this shows
- 37:39off fucking douche as well. Did you really think that I
- 37:45didn't? I had to do.
- 37:46He's a, he's a bootlicker. He's a bootlicker.
- 37:49He's a bootlicker. Hey, I think that guy who will
- 37:52work for the highest bidder. So exactly objective at first, I
- 37:57was so stoked on him. I was like, He's got to be the
- 38:00final blow to Kathleen. That's what I thought.
- 38:02And then he's like, I'm by your side.
- 38:06I'm like you fucking cunt. I think I think he's got like a
- 38:11different. Like I agree.
- 38:13Obviously he does side with her and he he gives her an
- 38:17affirmation of yet. Like you're the only one who's
- 38:18actually to not talk about you by the way sweetheart?
- 38:22Yeah I can hear. Stop it down the stairs right
- 38:24now. She's ready to kill.
- 38:24He's like I'm the only man. He likes his wife.
- 38:30I love my wife and I think that since we're on that scene though
- 38:40I love that entire like thing of watching Ellie run like like we
- 38:46see all these things in episode 4 is preview of like oh my gosh
- 38:49like there's the trucks rhyming and everything.
- 38:50There's the bloater there's the infected like we see all the
- 38:52stuff and I'm thinking the entire episode.
- 38:54How are they going to like, get all this to go together?
- 38:57Because there's so many different substances.
- 38:59So much that you're running. Yes.
- 39:02Yeah, it's quick. Its you get like sniper shot
- 39:07explosion. Like they're renting?
- 39:10Yeah, they're walking through. He gets shot.
- 39:12I love Jules. Just honest opinion to that old
- 39:14guy of like, don't do it. Please, dude, ruff.
- 39:25Joel was at this point going, man.
- 39:28Listen, did you guys think he was smiling?
- 39:30I thought it was smiling and some of the shots like he would
- 39:32Joel. Yeah.
- 39:33Like not out of like a hatred thing but just like, I've got
- 39:36you like you're I think it was more of like a hey man, I don't
- 39:40want to do this please. Can we not?
- 39:44You know, I mean yeah. If you know how this is gonna
- 39:46end, like you have a sniper rifle and you had pointed at the
- 39:49ground. I have a handgun pointed at your
- 39:51head. Pointed literally value.
- 39:52I yeah, just Let's just yeah, he even says it.
- 39:58Drop the rifle walk out of here. That's all I ask of you.
- 40:02Please don't do this and he would have you do try a stupid
- 40:06old man. May I bring up one point.
- 40:10The previews for this episode only showed this climax really
- 40:17because what you see is the climax which we're going to get
- 40:20to in a minute. But that was brilliant of the
- 40:24new do. They didn't spoil any of the Sam
- 40:30and Henry and Joel and Ellie moments, they just showed the
- 40:34action in the climax which usually you don't get.
- 40:37Usually don't do that. You know, don't do it action
- 40:40movie? Are you release a horror movie?
- 40:42You don't want to show that. Exactly.
- 40:55What happens after the sniper fire is?
- 40:59Well, Joel, you know, taking that dude out in such a Joel
- 41:02fashion, which I love so much, and it was wild.
- 41:05I love, you know, again, I always thought through that
- 41:08preview, that we saw that when Joel yells run, he's yelling it
- 41:12because of the bloater. But he's not.
- 41:14He's yelling at because he sees all the cars because he hears
- 41:16the, he sees the walkie-talkie. All gasp my God.
- 41:19Christian me to me out loud just went.
- 41:21Oh fuck. And you just hear you hear cab
- 41:24lingo. Andy, Andy were on the way and
- 41:27it's like all they did reach him and Tommy already called the
- 41:30cops and you see him and you get to hear Joy yell run and they
- 41:37finally recognized it, which again, I love that they really
- 41:40build that sense of tension because you see the cars and you
- 41:44see Ellie and Henry and Sam you're like, okay there's a bit
- 41:47of a distance but Then you see that first car starts smashing
- 41:49through and you're like, no, there's it's cut instantly.
- 41:52Like you gotta run and I loved watching.
- 41:54Yeah, Ellie's. I've she's confident to a
- 41:57degree. Yeah.
- 41:58She's like I can shoot him. I can shoot at him.
- 42:00Like I can at least do something and she she misses obviously
- 42:03every single shop. I mean she does the ice with.
- 42:07Yeah she does. I liked Joel.
- 42:10Yeah. Like he sees the jam and the
- 42:12gun. He's trying to fix it as best as
- 42:14I loved it. I liked Arkham.
- 42:15You got Iraq? That shit.
- 42:17Come on, buddy. You got He gets he gets that
- 42:21that rifle racked and he finally takes out that front driver who
- 42:23has like the, I don't know. It's like wild shot wild.
- 42:29That Christian is to which pressive she throws.
- 42:31Like a nice little hint if it was intentional or not, but
- 42:34there's almost that realism, and to your point that you brought
- 42:36up when I was on last seven, which is where Joel is, you
- 42:39know, he's in the game of very battle-hardened like you fight
- 42:43through essentially Accords of people when you come out alive.
- 42:46But in the show is it older man. And he does not kill everyone in
- 42:49one shot, it wasn't funny that she noticed was when he finally
- 42:53after like, four times, guess that head shot, and it goes
- 42:57through and just whips a girl, you could almost see his face.
- 43:00He like goes and like, kind of gas kind of.
- 43:03Yeah, amazing music. I hate that shit.
- 43:09I like that too. Is you can see in, this is just
- 43:12because of hydrogen's, so good. But you can see just on his face
- 43:16of like, I've been in situations similar to this.
- 43:19I know what I have to do and I'm just not doing it.
- 43:23And he's again it's disappointed himself, he's in a mini state
- 43:27of, you know, stop disappointing.
- 43:28The people you have to save and yep.
- 43:30Finally, because a good quick. Redemption moment he missed all
- 43:32those shots. He knew that this was if he
- 43:34doesn't stop this truck, it is fucked and he uses Elliot's, you
- 43:39lose out. I did it.
- 43:44I actually did it for one, we pulled himself together to write
- 43:47their kind of. Yeah, he goes, he immediately
- 43:49focuses up again because he's like, okay, I got them but like,
- 43:51there's like, six more trucks behind them.
- 43:53What are you doing now? And I liked that immediate sense
- 43:58of, and that sense of how they just show you how outgunned and
- 44:01outmanned. They are like, this is a little
- 44:03army walking up to Ellie and Henry and Sam and you're like,
- 44:08okay, alright, this is going to be wild and I love that to of Of
- 44:13all the soldiers, get out. They know he's already in there
- 44:16because they know that's where Andy was, Harry immediately with
- 44:18his rifle points right up at that window, the window leans
- 44:22back, you know, we can't do anything something.
- 44:24I just thought about West to you guys is Point again, is when he
- 44:29when that second explosion goes off and Ellie gets pushed back.
- 44:32If you have noticed Joel, right before he gets spotted in
- 44:35height, he Scopes in one last time but he doesn't scope it on
- 44:38the trucks and he doesn't have scope it on anyone else except
- 44:41for Ellie. These Scopes in on her and shows
- 44:44that she's safe and he sees that she's kind of like getting back
- 44:48up and is okay and he's immediately, she's good.
- 44:51I'm gonna hide. Yeah, right.
- 44:54Yeah, no, she definitely I love that when the Empire Freddy,
- 44:58he's like Henry and Sam don't care about them in this mindset
- 45:00right now is really fucking okay.
- 45:03Okay, she's alive. Yeah, I like, I like Kathleen's
- 45:06little speech. I mean, as much as I hated it, I
- 45:08like that. She had that where she, you
- 45:11know, I like Like the the moment where I think it just happened
- 45:15for me, was, she's talking to Henry, Henry, he's like, I'll
- 45:19come out. Just let the kids go.
- 45:21I like that she Kathleen. Goes, no, no, no, no.
- 45:25I need Sam. And that little girls with the
- 45:27guy who killed Brian. Which I like, I like that to of
- 45:30just showing how awful they are. Because if there was a chance
- 45:33for these two got to, like, sit in a room and you have a peer
- 45:35mediator, Jill would be like, I don't really care who you were
- 45:38with because at the end of the day, they were lying to us.
- 45:42If they weren't trying to say, yeah, we just overthrew Federal,
- 45:45like, dude, are you coming here for, you know, Sanctuary like,
- 45:48what are you trying to do? They were literally working on
- 45:53stealing people's stuff, like new people coming into the city?
- 45:55Yes, I also like at the end of the day he killed three of your
- 45:58guys, but it's not like he walked in.
- 46:00Saw them was like free. Lou, you got you were cruising
- 46:03through and your guys immediately tried to set up some
- 46:06fake injured plot to try and Rob and murder them.
- 46:09If they told us they fight back. What's wrong with that?
- 46:13Well that the whole the hostage negotiation is what I think was
- 46:19amazing with Kathleen here at. Oh yeah Kathleen.
- 46:23It's Henry specifically the hostage negotiation.
- 46:28Wow! Joel's main focus is a part of
- 46:32this and to a degree in this situation.
- 46:36Joel is safe. Yeah he's fine but yeah there's
- 46:40two guys cool on quote going around the back but they're not
- 46:44going to get there in time and he almost knows it.
- 46:47So he's safe but he's like fuck there's a negotiation going on
- 46:51now that is going terribly South because she's like, cool know, I
- 46:56fuck the kids is my stay is I'm safe.
- 47:00The only thing I have to worry about is that is with those two
- 47:02people right now behind that car and is in danger with them.
- 47:05And I need to figure out how to get to them.
- 47:07Exactly. And funnily enough nature comes
- 47:11to help him this time. We'll good truck collapsing into
- 47:15the ground and give it the infected taketh away.
- 47:18The infected literally pouring out of the ground.
- 47:23I love that scene the after thing they show, I love them
- 47:27too, kind of describing, they did a mix of CGI.
- 47:29They had the actual practical effects of the clickers and then
- 47:32they had people seeing this extra stuntex in that pit
- 47:35crawling out was so cool to see. And I love how they just had
- 47:39that huge acting class is all of them to ensure that it's a
- 47:43cohesive movement. It was so what is see, the takes
- 47:46that they had done in seek them? You think she'll like they're
- 47:49really piling on top of each other.
- 47:51They're just like incessant. Their only goal is to reach
- 47:53Planet are like point B which is your body.
- 47:57Yeah it was I like that. I liked how it, it's a mix,
- 48:04right? It's immediately like, okay,
- 48:06they're going to you You know, if you've seen zombie movies,
- 48:09you're like they're going to lose this but you're watching
- 48:11it, you're you see how they kind of get into the circle, where
- 48:14they're kind of shooting them down but you seem very working
- 48:16this for what it was honestly, if you're if you're diligent and
- 48:19you look, you can see them getting around the edges where
- 48:22they take one person down and that's how it falls, right?
- 48:25It's not just too many overwhelmed front.
- 48:27It's somebody gets caught on the right.
- 48:30Yeah, somebody gets caught on the right and now they're down.
- 48:32And now somebody else has to cover for that, which takes them
- 48:34away from the front, which just means that you also, you know,
- 48:37like, One third of the way through the battle.
- 48:39You start seeing a bunch of people going absolutely fuck
- 48:42this. And they start running backwards
- 48:44away from the half circle and getting into their trucks and
- 48:47going time to get out of here. So your point is circled.
- 48:51Even weakens even more, you start to see that dissolve in
- 48:54and they just push the Perry tells them Perry tells them to
- 48:56run them down. So you're telling people stop
- 48:59shooting immediately and get in a car.
- 49:01If it's not on, turn it on and then put it into drive and start
- 49:05driving over them. Which is like You're you're
- 49:08dead. They've already got you at that
- 49:10point without quick, because like, some Last Resort.
- 49:12Final Kamikaze Maneuvers. Yeah, I loved that.
- 49:16I loved the tension that still built where you get a mix of
- 49:20Joel. Seeing it overhead and then
- 49:22you're seeing Ellie do like a Saving Private Ryan.
- 49:25Almost like I have to get to cover and I need somebody to
- 49:28cover me and Joel's doing that. While I'm getting attacked by
- 49:31clickers and things that are going on.
- 49:33And I love that in the middle of all this.
- 49:36There's a good We're Kathleen a, you get to look at each other
- 49:39and they see the bloater climbing out from the earth and
- 49:44holy crap, was that thing awesome.
- 49:47Like it was passive fulfilled every part of the game, every
- 49:51watch the introduction because that initial punch what?
- 49:53He just fucking cripples that further.
- 49:56He hits him in the top of the head but the way his body just
- 49:59crunches and goes limp. I had to re-watch.
- 50:01It s kind of really demonstrated like, yes, it's a fat clicker.
- 50:06It could be just A fat guy who became a clicker ahead of them.
- 50:09However, he's like, since Vito's drank and you see that power can
- 50:14generate from just its body. You're like, that is not just
- 50:17the clicker, that is something that much deadlier.
- 50:21Yeah, I think that the only thing that kind of like not
- 50:23disappointed me, I guess but I was like I thought Perry, who
- 50:28had been on the screen for such a decent amount of time of the
- 50:32last two episodes. Thought he deserved a little bit
- 50:34more than to go out in the background.
- 50:37So, this is just very, very graphic where I feel like if
- 50:40they could have either done what they did or gone full force.
- 50:44And I feel like if they went full force goes up, it would
- 50:47have in terms of releasing it. To the white audience, might
- 50:51have been something that might have been tiptoed across the
- 50:54border where they're like bringing him so Off, dude, I
- 50:58told you not to ever go full force, Airsoft Patty joke.
- 51:01Very good love him. That's his Legend.
- 51:02Shoutout PLS, sponsors are so many michigander, please.
- 51:06Secondly, yeah, my feelings on Perry again to my wife.
- 51:14He's done my life to the character.
- 51:17I didn't think this motherfuckers we go.
- 51:19I like that. But this blow dryer grabs him
- 51:21and just caves him in was hoping, Evan would notice,
- 51:25because I noticed, right away. If you notice the way he was
- 51:29killed, is borderline almost shot for shot.
- 51:32The exact animation of how you can die as Joel when you die.
- 51:35Yes. Yeah.
- 51:37I notice exactly what is that, and I was like, that is cool as
- 51:40shit, okay? That are like today.
- 51:42Although they didn't show it show it.
- 51:44I'm so glad You see it and you can tell me like, that's kind of
- 51:48reference from the game. That's kind of sweet.
- 51:50I like that, Evan, no. I was just saying that.
- 51:54Like yeah, I noticed the, I noticed the death animation was
- 51:57the same. Still thought it was cool.
- 52:00I just, and I get why they kind of did it too, because at the
- 52:03end of the day, it is a person who is really the main character
- 52:06in the game. So like I can see.
- 52:08Like that was probably also exciting for him though, to
- 52:10where it's like yeah, here's how you're going to die.
- 52:12And it's one of those things like in The Walking Dead where
- 52:14they would get Is or like, you know, like guests almost to play
- 52:18something and just be like, yeah, that's my destiny.
- 52:20This is my head when I got to cut off that kind of.
- 52:22Yeah, so I got that. I love this really tense scene
- 52:26that Ellie has with the child clicker, which are not shown in
- 52:30the game, but I like to see, dude.
- 52:32I like the fungus growing out of the side of her head.
- 52:35I thought that was awesome and I liked that.
- 52:39Joel couldn't cover. You know, I like wearing every
- 52:42single shot except for that's when that's, when Ellie is the
- 52:45most scared. It is like, I don't have
- 52:46somebody to protect me and she does and logs that quicker in
- 52:50the cars. Are that was so funny.
- 52:52And then sees Henry, and Sam hiding underneath the truck from
- 52:56to clickers that are trying to get at them.
- 52:58And there's this visual moment of Ellie looking at Joel and
- 53:02Joel being like, God damn it. Fine, do it.
- 53:04Go save them. Yeah, he's like, I'll cover you
- 53:06and I just, I gotta say, he says at the beginning of this entire
- 53:10thing of it's dark out, and he's a shitty shot and then it's like
- 53:14a little bit of light shows up, just so you Is everything and
- 53:16this dude's taking people out, man.
- 53:18Yeah, Joel is like, which again is another great thing of,
- 53:21they've shown him in episode 4 is being.
- 53:22Yeah, he's not the same. He's older by the love of Allah,
- 53:25but then you're watching him throw down and it's like, he
- 53:27can't got it. You still got it.
- 53:29You can't physically take people out like you used to.
- 53:32That's muscle memory baby, that's experience, that's muscle
- 53:34memory, that's Instinct. He tells the guy, he tells Andy,
- 53:38don't do it and not just because like I really don't think that
- 53:42he would have let him walk away just because as soon as he saw
- 53:46it like even at the idea of he says, you know, don't do it,
- 53:49just you stay up here for an hour above block I think as soon
- 53:52as he sees the walkie-talkies killing them and God bless.
- 53:54Oh yeah, you bitch.
- 54:08Yeah, I love that I. And then a guy like I said, I
- 54:11love him taking people out. He goes to save them.
- 54:13Ellie finally getting to use her stiletto on a Clicker.
- 54:16Yeah, I brought that up. I was like, she's using the
- 54:18knife. That was that we talked about in
- 54:21the beginning. This was the episode.
- 54:22When you got to see that kind of adult come out.
- 54:25Because, yep, she walks up to those two clickers, and she ends
- 54:29them with that fucking stiletto in like six seconds.
- 54:32And for when you think about it, you know they bring up Henry
- 54:34goes, you guys have already Yeah, they were freaked out.
- 54:39They were like two, no way. Who are you?
- 54:45You are unheard of how dangerous are which I like that again,
- 54:48building up how dangerous they are right there.
- 54:50Yeah. Just that's what I like to do.
- 54:52Is when they are poured out. I was expecting that those Spurs
- 54:54first, those first phase infected, the very standard
- 54:57zombies, to pour out. But then you saw the gravity of
- 55:00hair, all clickers. And let's go clickers and to is
- 55:03dangerous for like three people on their own enough.
- 55:06So to see, I don't know, 60, run out of you against an army of
- 55:09twenty. Good luck, guys.
- 55:12Did you see how quick they're cut down, right?
- 55:13They just keep coming. Yeah, I love, I love that little
- 55:17saving moment that they get and then they finally get away.
- 55:19But Kathleen is, is so not focused on the chaos.
- 55:23She just wasn't Revenge. She's, she's showing that to
- 55:26like the revolution meant, nothing to her.
- 55:28Nothing, like what it meant to her brother and she's like, I've
- 55:30used these people to get what I want now.
- 55:33And I finally have it. And they're look on their faces
- 55:36of like check behind you bitch that's gonna suck.
- 55:39And it's Perry essentially coming back to haunt her and be
- 55:42like, I told you, I told you shit was And you didn't listen.
- 55:46And now here's what happens. I get my head torn off and
- 55:49you're going to die to a little kid clicker.
- 55:51Sorry, dude. That little kid clicker.
- 55:52The one that was in the car trips or neck over dude.
- 55:58Yeah. And say, my mom is, she didn't
- 56:02like Kathleen but she likes the actress who plays her.
- 56:20Yeah, that was a great thing to cap off to it and now here's
- 56:34where we get to the fun stuff. Yeah, we're gonna end.
- 56:37The episode is what I want to talk about this skip to like
- 56:40when they walk away and we're ending the episode right now.
- 56:44So let's go. Right into it.
- 56:46And off all those, do it. I'll Define how this goes.
- 56:50They're in a motel Henry and Joel are talking and just
- 56:53discussing, you know, the day's events and also how it's easier
- 56:58when you're a kid because you don't have anybody to rely on.
- 57:00Like you have to rely on anybody or you don't have to be anybody
- 57:03that were like people don't rely on you for anything.
- 57:05You're a kid and they both kind of agree and Ellie and Sam are
- 57:10playing in the other room and they're using Sam's pad to chat
- 57:13back and forth with each other. And they get a bit more serious
- 57:17once, you know, Henry tells them to go to bed which I thought was
- 57:20funny, like you're telling a 14 year old and an eight-year-old
- 57:22in the apocalypse to go to bed. I thought that was funny.
- 57:24He said I need sleep bedtime and he just plops Christie left, he
- 57:28just flopped his body sideways bed didn't even like get into
- 57:32bed. Just threw his body on.
- 57:34There was like so used to it and they, you know, L he's like nah.
- 57:39Nah nah, like let's chat a bit more.
- 57:41We read the comics. Yeah, yeah.
- 57:44We're going to hang out, we're going.
- 57:45We're going to read some stuff and then they start chatting and
- 57:48Sam is asking some questions, you know.
- 57:51Are you afraid? And Ellie goes, you know?
- 57:53Yeah I'm all I'm afraid of being alone and I'm always afraid and
- 57:57Sam goes, you don't look like it and you know Ellie tells tells
- 58:02them hey this is what I'm afraid of and he says without really
- 58:05saying anything like eat without saying you know what?
- 58:07He's necessarily afraid of he goes when you turn into one of
- 58:11those things are you still you inside?
- 58:14Stop it. Nope, I'm gonna do it.
- 58:16I'm ripping off the Band-Aid because you guys are upset, and
- 58:19we gotta just rough. It's rough.
- 58:20It's worse, ski. He says that and Ellie gets it
- 58:25before. She can even really comprehend.
- 58:27What he's saying, he pulls his Jean like ankle up and he's got
- 58:32a bite mark and Ellie's initial reaction is oh it's over for him
- 58:37like there's nothing and and then she writes back to him.
- 58:41My blood is medicine because she's not been infected and she
- 58:43shows him She's not, she's not been turned and she shows him a
- 58:48bite mark and he's confused as he's like, what the fuck.
- 58:51He's like. That looks just like mine but
- 58:53it's like that. Look crazy Bard.
- 58:55Yes, card over and she cuts her hand open and puts it on his
- 59:00ankle to heal him or what she thinks will heal him.
- 59:03And then he asks her stay awake with me and you can tell that
- 59:08she did her best because she falls asleep in the chair and
- 59:13she wakes up and just sees Sam facing the window and she goes,
- 59:16hey buddy, and he doesn't say anything.
- 59:19And as soon as she goes with the batch to or the chair, she like,
- 59:23tap such like slams her hands. On the chair.
- 59:25I was like, oh God, and Sam doesn't do anything and then she
- 59:29goes over and touches his shoulder to like get him to turn
- 59:32and he's completely turned. He starts biting at her they
- 59:36fall through the door. I love this.
- 59:38Especially of how Joel and Henry wake up and Henry I'm just being
- 59:45Younger, and quicker is able to grab the gun before Joe can.
- 59:49And Joel even goes to save Ellie and Henry shoots the floor
- 59:54saying back away like you're not doing this and Henry sees the
- 59:58situation and shoots am. But a, to look in the day.
- 1:00:03He knew that Joel doesn't have that attachment to Sam.
- 1:00:06So if he, as soon as he pulled his gun out, he's shooting
- 1:00:09instantly and I did, yeah, I feel like Henry was like, this
- 1:00:12is my responsibility, I have to do this.
- 1:00:15This even and that's again that's his body body reacting
- 1:00:20quicker than his brain because his body reacts does the thing
- 1:00:23that it needs to do to save Ali because that's what he's
- 1:00:25instinctively. That's what you've always done.
- 1:00:26David other human and then his brain catches up and goes, I
- 1:00:29just shot my own brother in the head.
- 1:00:31The only thing that I have left, the only thing that I have left
- 1:00:34and even when Jules just going to say, Ellie, are you okay?
- 1:00:38He's like, stay away from her and I just love Henry going, you
- 1:00:43know what have I done? And he shoots himself in the
- 1:00:46head off screen. Yeah.
- 1:00:48As Joel's going. Hey, wait a minute.
- 1:00:50It looks like it's so close. Joel is just getting closer and
- 1:00:53closer to putting his hands around that gun where you Like,
- 1:00:57just one more second and think I gotta grab his hands around it,
- 1:01:00take it. And that s is just, it's not
- 1:01:04think it's just gone. Yep, no.
- 1:01:07And then it just cuts to, you know, they they bury them
- 1:01:10outside and and I love Ellie putting Sam's pad down on his.
- 1:01:14What does it say? I'm sorry in all capital
- 1:01:17letters. I was little even said to myself
- 1:01:21to she crouches down to write it as he crafted.
- 1:01:24Yeah. And I go Don't.
- 1:01:27That's why I said to know. So that the only thing please,
- 1:01:30you're going to make me feel bad and she put, you know, I realize
- 1:01:33Zooms in your, like, I realize now that she did it but it hit
- 1:01:37me emotionally more because I didn't see, I like blinked and
- 1:01:40missed it kind of thing. And I almost thought that she
- 1:01:43laid it down in that he had wrote it.
- 1:01:45Yes, which hurt. Oh, I'm infected here.
- 1:01:48Oh, I'm sorry, that's what I, that's what I thought I would
- 1:01:51have lost my fucking mind. Net.
- 1:01:56I would ya like it. Like let's say for instance they
- 1:01:59kill Sam and they walk into the bedroom and you see it on the
- 1:02:02edge of the bed. And it says I'm sorry and then
- 1:02:04she puts it on the grave and it's the exact same one.
- 1:02:07I would have. Oh yeah.
- 1:02:10Well well so yeah so that happens and then I like Ellie.
- 1:02:15She turns into Joel time. So yeah well she becomes she's
- 1:02:19awesome calls me. He walks away Christy to and
- 1:02:23every single lady situations even when it was life and death.
- 1:02:26If for her once the situation was over, she kind of shrugged
- 1:02:29it off. Went back to her normal self of
- 1:02:30making jokes and cracking jokes this time though.
- 1:02:34She did not share the cereals. She did not notice went off this
- 1:02:37one. Let's hit this head to the core.
- 1:02:40Yeah. This is dead serious to her and
- 1:02:42did it really just her interested to see how the second
- 1:02:45episode comes in? If she's going to come in and if
- 1:02:48she's going to have that same demeanor or if she's gonna, you
- 1:02:50know, time will pass and she'll get over it.
- 1:02:52Or I'm curious if this is going to be one of those defined show,
- 1:02:55whole lot of it. As for the rest of her life.
- 1:02:57Oh yes, the next season as well. I think that's something I will
- 1:03:04be called back forever. Yeah that was rough and I like
- 1:03:11Joe looking at those Graves going.
- 1:03:13That's me and her you know. Yes that's a.
- 1:03:15He knows what we're going to end up at some point.
- 1:03:18That's our final destination. Yeah, well, he's just thinking
- 1:03:22of, he's just, I think more so than just that being the final
- 1:03:24destination of But just this could I have to stop anything
- 1:03:30from this being on. We have to get the that's what I
- 1:03:32mean is that he's after mating that this is our final
- 1:03:36destination. In terms of this happens to
- 1:03:39anyone at anytime in Reston who's to say, it's not us,
- 1:03:45especially if unfortunately I failed before if I fail again
- 1:03:49like I said this is us. This is our the leg up that Joel
- 1:03:53has here is that Ellie is immune to To infection she's not in
- 1:03:57Feud obviously not immune to gunshots.
- 1:04:00She's not immune to getting rid of water park but she is immune
- 1:04:05to infection. So that is the leg up he has in
- 1:04:08the scenario. But we see how violent the world
- 1:04:12is not. Well, that's monsters.
- 1:04:15That's a sweetheart, but it's the people and I think we're
- 1:04:18episode 6 is going, we're going to see just how violent people
- 1:04:24can get the way they were. Is there like there's too many
- 1:04:34people at the same time. I understood at the end of the
- 1:04:37day, what's the comics as well? We have too many people to
- 1:04:40follow, but in the comics, you're able to do that.
- 1:04:44But I wish we had those scenes where you can see the gravity of
- 1:04:47yes, people are the priority problem but zombies are still a
- 1:04:52threat because you never really got that feeling.
- 1:04:54Yeah, for like key moments, but if you could, the way that
- 1:04:58Alaska has presented is that shit can happen in, like they
- 1:05:02was you'll be gone for hours. and then all the sudden it was
- 1:05:05chaos and of the really got that way in The Walking Dead zombies.
- 1:05:12Definitely came in as I got third party, but they weren't
- 1:05:15that immediate. Everyone switches to it like in
- 1:05:18this, right? She gone.
- 1:05:23She's waiting through the zombies going.
- 1:05:25Where's and brave? No, my God.
- 1:05:28No, that was, that was a great episode.
- 1:05:30My reading of it is a 10 out of 10, this gets out on time for me
- 1:05:33as well. Okay.
- 1:05:36Alright, so I'm going to the wasd.
- 1:05:39Scoreboard, and giving this one a 10 out of 10, I would say.
- 1:05:45Additionally, this was way more rough than the bill and Frank
- 1:05:50episode building. Frank was a beautiful episode.
- 1:05:53While this was a bait and switch, where you think it's
- 1:05:57going to be just another action. And then you see it's like, oh,
- 1:06:03it's really pretty and then boom.
- 1:06:06It's like up now, it's not, it's you twice to Yep.
- 1:06:11Going off together as a group of four.
- 1:06:14So in my head I was like Henry's going to be fucked up and he's
- 1:06:17going to say Fuck plan. I'm going to go bury my brother
- 1:06:20and go off on my own. Yeah, it's you a second time and
- 1:06:24you're like, oh, this episode hard.
- 1:06:28It's hard. Hard.
- 1:06:30If you're having a bad day, like I said, in the beginning, this
- 1:06:32episode, I stand by that. Skip this episode come back.
- 1:06:36When you feel a little better, So finale, wasd gives episode 5
- 1:06:42a 10 out of 10 which would make this the third episode to have a
- 1:06:4910 out of 10, third episode in a series out of 5.
- 1:06:53So 5, that is phenomenal. We are very harsh on shit.
- 1:06:58Usually, this has been nothing short of Perfect.
- 1:07:02All right, Logan Please plug where we can find you, and
- 1:07:08whatever, whatever you want to plug, I'll let you do this.
