3:23

3:29
We'll have you plugged Bill Bros at the end.
3:32
This week's episode of The Last of Us was wild and not because
3:38
it was violent, not because it was disturbing.
3:42
It was a beautiful fucking episode.
3:44
So beautiful, in fact that at one point, I stood up in the
3:47
middle of the episode to go get a glass of water and it took me
3:51
five minutes to get my glass of water Charlie, is he got up in
3:56
love? I looked at him and I and I did,
4:03
but I want to call out all the people I'm seeing on Twitter
4:06
already, bitching about this episode's quote-unquote agenda,
4:09
there is no agenda. Lgbtq in this episode.
4:13
They were already saying it wasn't even.
4:15
All right. Dude, it's wasn't even over.
4:16
So straight away. Fuck you.
4:19
You didn't play the games and also fuck you because you're a
4:22
piece of shit bigot and just fuck you fuck off and fuck you,
4:26
that's episode was amazing. First and foremost, Nick
4:31
Offerman, delivers a performance and who's his Murray Bartlett, I
4:36
think was the name I saw, okay. For that's Frank.
4:39
The two actors who played Bill and Frank did an amazing fucking
4:43
job. This is an award worthy fucking
4:45
episode of it doesn't win. Some sort of fucking award.
4:48
That is bullshit has been snubbed.
4:50
If you talk shit about this episode 4, what it shows and
4:53
depicts your cunt. That's right.
4:59
Actually, I can't believe that that was already happening.
5:02
I mean I saw a couple things in the episode where I was like,
5:05
somebody's I have a problem with that, sometimes we call them
5:07
right away while watching. Yeah.
5:09
Yeah, because yeah, because we were watching it separately
5:10
again. I've been watching it with my
5:11
family and next been watching it in the Discord which you should
5:14
join in. Watch with us or him rather so
5:16
much one episode with us. Yeah, I'll probably I'll see.
5:21
Maybe I'll watch the next episode with you guys.
5:24
Just did a private viewing like in here a sphere something?
5:27
No, no, I'd watch it with the rest of the group.
5:29
I just sprinkle chips. I just called Matt Granite.
5:37
Yeah, dude, I'm scared. Fuck you, bitch.
5:51
Which I think is why I joined in and I saw this.
5:55
But yeah, I can't believe that if you were already saying stuff
5:58
like that. No, there's no, there's no.
5:59
Agenda. I mean we knew from the game
6:02
that that was a villain Frank. We're Partners.
6:05
Yeah. And the show has just agreed to
6:09
make it that way. So this is a dumb thought.
6:11
Well, the the games both, both of them won an to deal with
6:15
issues, like this in a very beautiful way.
6:17
I think, especially part 2 deals with some stuff as well as part
6:21
1 part 2, arguably deals with more if you want to look at it
6:24
that way. But this is really the only in
6:27
the first game this this and Ellie's story are really the two
6:34
biggest. You know, I guess like stories
6:37
in that not genre but like in that space and you really get in
6:42
the game, you really didn't get to know much about Bill other
6:45
than the fact that he was like a survivalist like a doomsday
6:48
prepper paranoid. You know, I mean they depict
6:51
that so well when you see them, it's like really experience.
6:56
The apocalypse is very interesting because he got to
6:59
hide in his Anchor, everyone dipped out and then he
7:01
immediately like went into survival mode which I think was
7:04
so sick. But you never like, you never
7:06
know. Never seem to deal with an
7:08
infected. You never seemed only a camera
7:10
like he knows that they exist. Well, he knows that they exist.
7:13
Yeah. Right.
7:13
But like, he never experienced the apocalypse like everyone.
7:17
In those veins cities did in all the stories that we see that was
7:21
his City on that City. And that's I literally told Nick
7:24
Nick when he first It was like, making the roux for his steak.
7:29
It was pouring it on like his first dinner was, everyone was
7:32
gone for the first, like night. I was like this - absolutely
7:41
perhaps he was only one, did you see how quick he is?
7:44
Right? Like I mean, as soon as
7:45
everybody's gone he clears the immediate area.
7:48
Depot him down, the natural gas play.
7:52
I was like a crank on. Yeah.
7:56
You took the boat. I was exposed fucking take in
7:58
the boom, he's anything but he's not going to use that, right?
8:04
My initial reaction was, he's not going boating really?
8:07
Like, come on. Alicia feels way too bills.
8:11
Way too paranoid to even think of doing that now but um, it was
8:15
awesome. I did like that.
8:17
I like you know I like the visual storytelling in this
8:20
episode, I think is very heavy in terms of both in Bill and
8:24
Frank story as well as what we see.
8:26
For when, you know, the episode does start with Joel and Ellie
8:31
Ellie has, it was the cold open this week.
8:33
Yeah, I wanted to make yeah, yeah.
8:35
Basically flashback called open in this one but you kind of do
8:40
right after that but it's the main story.
8:43
But yeah, storyline sisterly like a flashback to pre-pandemic
8:50
know. It's right at the start.
8:53
And yeah, I love to visual storytelling from Um, Everybody,
8:56
right? I liked Joel and Ellie
8:59
immediately. I just, I keep loving Ellie,
9:01
more and more as every episode goes by, I just love.
9:03
She does not give a shit what you'll want or thinks she
9:07
breaks. Like she just doesn't care.
9:10
I love this episode. I think she finally, like, it's
9:12
finally clicked in her head though where she's like, I
9:16
understand now I have to listen to it.
9:20
I think she knows anything or she'll break, right?
9:22
But I think she's starting to finally understand this starting
9:25
to go now. He's here to protect me.
9:28
He's not survive, unless I stick with him and I need to follow
9:32
his rules to stick to them. Well, that's the thing that
9:34
makes her different from. I think a lot of traditional,
9:37
like, characters and apocalypse, or horror or whatever you want
9:41
to call it like shows. And just like just characters in
9:44
general is there's always characters where there are
9:46
people that just for whatever reason, don't decide to stick by
9:49
the hero or the guy who knows what they're talking about.
9:51
The person who knows what they're talking about and they
9:53
just don't for reasons that escape.
9:56
And then Logan. Anyway, there's always a person
10:20
that doesn't stick by the main character that for whatever
10:24
reason we don't know why and they just decide to stop
10:28
laughing. You're making me laugh.
10:29
I'm trying. Um, and and they died, right?
10:32
They end up dying or they end up getting captured, whatever it
10:34
is. And that just, that's not, maybe
10:36
just in horror apocalyptic stuff, but just in general, just
10:39
in stories. And with Ellie, it's always, I
10:43
think it's going to be it's different, right?
10:44
Because she knows almost when to break the rules until she
10:48
doesn't like there are some times where she breaks the rules
10:51
when she shouldn't. But then there are other times
10:52
where she breaks the rules because she has to like, you
10:56
know, she can own. There's only one way through it.
10:59
And it's like Joel said this rule, but like, I have to do
11:01
this to save choler. I have to do this, to save
11:04
myself, right? And everything like that, you
11:07
know? And obviously same thing Falls
11:09
like, They're right at the end when he says his third row,
11:12
which is listen to what I say when I say it, Ellie's going to
11:15
break that rule instantly. You know, she's she won't do
11:19
that. She thinks she's 14, right?
11:23
And and she said like throughout the entire thing like at the
11:26
beginning when they're going into the market to, you know,
11:28
find Jules stash. He's like stay out here and
11:31
she's like I'm going in. I want to see some stuff like
11:35
you know, I thought you would have liked it as well because it
11:38
was kind of another one of those moments.
11:40
She was just kind of thinking of that life that she never got to
11:45
live for the apocalypse, which was, you know, in that s, that s
11:49
episode, she was pushing the cart in the water and pretending
11:53
that she's at the hotel and this one she gets car to the, I would
11:56
have spaceship. Yeah.
11:59
Yeah, she yeah she's a 14 year old kid full of wonder and
12:03
excitement and she's interested in everything and I like that
12:07
about I mean I think that's what makes people both.
12:10
In the game and the show fall in love with her is that she's
12:13
she's, you know, us as kids, right?
12:15
She's interested about everything.
12:16
She's, you know, getting into the car for the first time.
12:18
She's like, what is this? And, you know, she sees the
12:20
Mortal Kombat machine in the, in the grocery store.
12:23
Whatever. She's all excited.
12:24
She's like, I had a friend who knew everything about this, and
12:26
she's excited, and talking out loud.
12:28
And she is no real in a beautiful, sort of way.
12:32
She is no real understanding of the danger around her.
12:36
Even if it's not immediate, like she just she likes it.
12:40
Can you imagine out like she recognizes the world she's in
12:43
but she doesn't. She has these moments where she
12:46
almost like Steps out of it goes.
12:47
No, no, no. Like this is beautiful.
12:49
I love that. You know, I think this is
12:50
interesting. I think this is cool and I did
12:54
like, I mean, we don't know if that was her her first kill
12:59
first infected kill there. But if it was, I mean, in terms
13:03
of what we are, most intimate, if anything probably, yeah, that
13:07
is a nice kind of looking at it or not zombie, but that in fact,
13:10
Affected was kind of looking at her.
13:11
Like, come on. Don't do it.
13:13
Not even that she was like, almost like studying, like, just
13:15
trying to understand and like just, like, kind of, why are we
13:20
killing them? Like, are they really that bad?
13:22
But then she almost bit my tongue looks like she's kind of
13:25
having these flashbacks of everything that they've done.
13:28
Yeah, well like no, this is interesting on it was
13:33
interesting on both sides, right?
13:34
Because I mean in The Game's, the infected are constantly
13:37
crawling and you know, fighting for every inch base.
13:40
We to kill you and it was really weird to see this where it's
13:43
like this infected basically. Almost knew there was nothing
13:46
that he could do, right? So this is all just gave up.
13:49
Yeah, he kind of just sat the Kathy's body was crushed under
13:52
concrete like yeah. He wasn't like jerking.
13:54
She's just kind of he wasn't even trying to reach even when
13:57
she was Within Reach. He just was looking at her which
14:00
is interesting because question to you is, do you think that's a
14:04
part of that the immunity videos is that she has or do you think
14:07
that was to your guys's Point? Like maybe it had just been
14:10
sitting there for so long. It just has no energy left, but
14:13
even if Joel was down there, it would just be like, I'm fucking
14:16
dime just. Yeah, I don't know.
14:19
That's a good question. I don't think it has anything to
14:21
do with her Sim like her immunity because she is.
14:27
I mean, just like as we saw in episode 2, she is under threat
14:30
of being ripped, apart of. She like from the clickers.
14:32
If she made noise, they would have killed her.
14:34
They don't really care, right? But I, in the Companion podcast
14:39
for For the last of us that's like on Spotify and stuff like
14:43
that, that I listened to every Monday.
14:45
I just kind of gave them a plug. I don't know why, but they don't
14:48
need it. They don't need it.
14:49
But go check them out if you want.
14:54
They said something about how like these sort of infected are
14:58
like the way they are in the show is that they're not
15:00
zombies. They're like like with what
15:02
happens with test she gave up and she wasn't threatening them
15:06
which is why that one infected just wasn't threatening her her
15:10
you know he didn't jump on her and start fighting her she's
15:13
just she got bit on the neck which is the fastest infection
15:16
times. I wonder to your point as well
15:18
wasn't. It's like an hour or two.
15:20
It's good when she turns out that she was infected and was
15:22
like double knot. Brett I can walk up.
15:26
Yeah. Like he just walked up to her
15:27
and just you know give her a little smooch.
15:30
I was curious. If they ever go into depth about
15:33
the reasoning for that scene. Like I didn't nothing, it was
15:35
just curious like, you know, probably did in a podcast.
15:39
Yeah. They kind of they kind of
15:41
touched on that but for this episode I liked how that was a
15:45
little neat touch but I mean that's so small and I love that
15:49
the way that they brought us to Bill and Frank was seeing this
15:54
woman scarf and Joel is a flaming skull.
15:58
The baby school will and Joel explain sir.
16:01
Another piece of Storytelling that we didn't know before.
16:03
I don't think it's ever mentioned in the game's.
16:05
Is that what Federer was doing on the weekend before like the
16:09
weekend? Of the outbreak was they were
16:12
rounding up everybody in the small towns and what they would
16:15
do is they would bring everybody there.
16:16
Until they were told that there was no more room in the event
16:19
that there was no more room. They just killed everybody.
16:22
Yep. And then we like basically were
16:26
told that and it camera goes to like a scarf and it's it cuts to
16:30
2003 September 30th or whatever and it's a woman with a baby and
16:37
they get a truck and they leave. And then we meet Bill infinite
16:44
Glory pills in his basement with his cctvs and sees all the
16:48
trucks pull off into goes showtime baby.
16:50
Yeah, she's like hee-hee basically clapped rubbed his
16:53
hands together and said it's time to get to work, right?
16:56
I mean, making this town so hard during that suicide note.
17:01
When she went, he, he he dude, I needed them.
17:06
Like, I needed that break. From the episode when she was
17:11
reading the, no. And then, because obviously,
17:13
it's fucking bill. Just being bill is like, I never
17:16
fucking liked you but I respect you and we're not gonna raise
17:21
motherfuckers. Get us.
17:22
He but Ellie reading, hee, hee, hee, hee, and it goes on way too
17:27
long than you'd expect, like, sleep wrote it for like 80.
17:32
Yeah, he was Road at that long, that shit you needed that in
17:36
this episode though. Because Cuz it starts out just
17:41
showing a man who was prepared and that starts out and its own
17:45
comic relief raised like not today.
17:47
You jackboot motherfuckers. Yeah, just we've already
17:51
discussed, he's looting the town, he's putting a fence up.
17:54
He's watching big, he's watches cameras.
17:57
Well that infected dies, he goes it never gets old like ever gets
18:00
old. Like there's a little bit of
18:01
comic relief in but he's alone and that's what this goes into.
18:05
It's like, yes, he is happy at first.
18:08
He doesn't need. Everybody thinks he's alone and
18:11
then we meet Frank and not only is he alone but he's alone with
18:17
somebody that he can love because he's been hiding it.
18:21
That's what was so beautiful. We know that bill and Frank
18:24
we're gay. Yeah, they were a party of we've
18:27
known this but to see them explore it in this way to be
18:32
like during the fall of right Bullock during the first
18:37
intimate scene, Bill and Frank really.
18:38
Have I'm not talking about the piano time, but when they
18:40
actually go to bed together, have you ever been with anybody?
18:44
No yes no yes, okay. Girl, long time with a girl
18:49
though. He's I see you've never been
18:50
with a man. No, then he goes, then we're
18:53
going to take it slow. I was like this is fucking
18:57
amazing. You basically goes.
18:58
We're gonna start with the basics because obviously bill
19:01
has been he because of who bill is his had to hide his sexuality
19:06
from the outside world. And Eventually obviously from
19:09
himself to a little bit you know.
19:11
And they will never give us. They give some of that comic
19:13
relief still though, where Frank is?
19:15
Like I just want you to know. I'm not a horror though, like
19:17
I'm not going to do this in the LI if we do this, I'm staying.
19:19
I have to add these comic relief moments, and he did they deliver
19:27
they deliver the strawberries? That was, I didn't find that
19:31
even if I didn't find, like, even when there is that comic
19:36
relief in that scene, I still couldn't even laugh because I
19:39
was just like, it's just so it's beautiful.
19:43
Like it's honestly, one of those things where I was thinking
19:46
about it watching it, like, you're watching.
19:48
Yeah. Like you said, Nick beautifully.
19:50
Beautifully said of, it's a man who's alone and we see him kind
19:53
of grow but he grows so little, you know, it's the same thing
19:57
day after day, right? He doesn't find.
19:58
And fun stuff to do, he doesn't do anything.
20:01
Different in our area had, he's very OCD like creates a routine.
20:05
Frank comes in and he refuses to bring disrupts that routine and
20:09
refuses to break in but door while he comes from, but Bill
20:13
loves every moment of the routine being broken.
20:15
Even if he even when they fight pushing back, even when they
20:18
fight, he said, the father gives them the yes.
20:20
Hey, makeup, and everything is back to normal, exactly living.
20:25
They father why? This was beautiful.
20:26
This is this was a relationship. Bells like the boutique, like I
20:53
don't have friends. And he goes, well, I met a nice
20:56
lady over the radio, and he just storms that, he's like Frank.
21:01
What smell has a tied them into Joel and Tess.
21:04
And olives, I was always curious, I guess this going to
21:06
be a dedicated episode to their backstory and then it just will,
21:10
you know, fourth episode. We'll just go back to main story
21:13
but the way that they Blended not only tests and Joel before
21:18
but also unfortunately, yeah well afterwards, but how they
21:24
Blended? that in, and they Breakdown of
21:30
how they made the episode. They use, they bring up how they
21:33
use that bills, time line as a guide for The Sword to continue
21:39
and the way that they put them in the show to make it, make it
21:43
make sense early well done as well, right?
21:46
And that's one of the things that I love about this episode.
21:49
So much is like Nick said, it's a relationship and you get to
21:54
watch it grow and you get to watch it stagnate a little and
21:57
then you get to watch it grow more and To enjoy like like
22:02
right there, right. Frank says, we're going to have
22:04
friends. We're going to have people over.
22:06
So like fix yourself up, like we're going to have people.
22:09
And then it's this lovely little thing of them.
22:12
Just eating dinner in the garden or like kind of a lovely besides
22:16
bill with a gun on it on the table the entire time.
22:22
But like then there's but like then you have, you know, Joel.
22:26
Yeah. Basically saying like yeah I get
22:28
it dude. And Frank.
22:30
I like Frank's just calm demeanor to everything Bill does
22:33
where he's based. It's almost like a maze
22:35
dismissive a bit, but it's not it's a mirror version of tests
22:38
and Joel because test is the same way towards Joel where he's
22:41
where, she's like, he won't, he won't bite until I tell him to
22:44
bite when it's the same thing as Frank, what prank calls each
22:50
other? And yes, I understand that it's
22:54
okay, well and then even then right he still doesn't really
22:57
care for what she has to say. He doesn't believe.
22:59
For and then Joel kind of points out.
23:01
He's like the wire you have is already like rusting like yep I
23:05
give it a year. He says I give it a year before
23:07
that fence goes down. Yeah.
23:09
So he's like I can help you but instead of just saying like we
23:12
can help you and I understand the gun.
23:13
He's like I can help you and here's how these and I kind of
23:16
like he needs. Yeah.
23:18
And and that's exactly what, you know, Bill kind of response to
23:21
even though like like we said, he still doesn't like Joel but
23:26
that's you know par for the course bill doesn't like
23:28
anybody. Bill.
23:30
Now that wasn't anybody that he needs to go to the guys
23:57
just dumbfounded. Like what Say it like I was
24:00
trying to be nice. It's almost you're not there
24:03
where he's like, you know, Bill knows knows his grounds.
24:07
He knows what he needs, he knows how to make his shit work.
24:11
So what exactly says I can help. That's not good enough, I know
24:14
more than you, but for Joel to say this is what you need fixed
24:18
and him being in his head like damn, okay.
24:21
It's kind of, right? Yeah, he kind of knows.
24:23
Like who knows? What's up?
24:25
Yeah. Like that's that, like you said
24:26
that. Respect was it?
24:27
I'm listening now. You're Feeble person to me in an
24:30
asset. Now, I understand when I love
24:32
the time jumps that we get, because we don't get to see
24:34
everything, but we get to see your fix.
24:37
We get to see the beginning. We get to see their little
24:39
blossoming like their their love of Linda Ronstadt and like
24:42
playing the piano and and all that kind of stuff and then,
24:45
yep, Frank kind of walking them through the basics and then it
24:49
cuts to the, you know, yeah, even food.
24:52
And then it cuts to, I mean, Equator this episode it, I like
24:56
that at that. Well, I think it's important to
24:57
mention their first meal is ready.
24:59
But with like some some vegetables and a specific wine
25:02
that even Frank mentions he's like you're a smart man because
25:05
you know to pair this one with rabbit that was the tip-off for
25:08
Frank as well. He was like hmm.
25:10
Yeah yeah exactly. And then you get to end then it
25:15
cuts right from there to them arguing, right?
25:18
Like I like it's been it's not bold three years later and it's
25:21
yeah, it's not too much. Yeah, it's not two months.
25:25
It's Frank literally like, fuck you man.
25:28
He like no. This is what I want to do in
25:30
bills. Like even Frank Cuts mop and
25:32
goes don't give me any of that shit about Resource Management.
25:35
He's like, you know, we have enough don't be an asshole.
25:38
Like I can do this gas as a whole gas valve.
25:41
Injury to themselves were using too much gas.
25:44
He even points out. He's like look at your house
25:46
like it's neat. It's trim, everything's pretty,
25:48
but he's like somebody comes along and they see one really
25:52
pretty house. And then they see a really like
25:54
basically, like a shit pile across the street.
25:56
He's like that looks bad on us, which I love that.
25:58
There's this little Like Dynamic of Frank is so open to the idea
26:03
of other people that he's just like I want to fix everything up
26:06
because I want everything to look pretty because he's like it
26:08
was, he says, this is my street to and it's like you don't shit
26:11
where you eat. I think that was a growing
26:15
opportunity that they're due to the circumstances circumstances
26:19
never got to come into fruition, but something you brought up
26:22
with was that stagnation and then grow stagnation Pro.
26:26
Yeah, I think one of the really big rose that would have been
26:29
Like an end goal. Is Frank wants to clean up this
26:32
place. He wants to have yes.
26:33
So, foreign visitors, and in the day mentally Frank wants the
26:39
world to go back to normal? Yes, absolutely.
26:41
If this neighborhood to repopulate with people they take
26:45
the fences down and it just becomes a town that is normal.
26:50
And yeah, Bill very happy with those fucking things up and just
26:55
him and Frank pulling out together for the rest of their
26:57
days, which is what they get. But Not to the meat that they
27:00
realistically want well, he finally Bill finally found the
27:04
one and that's the biggest thing here.
27:08
It really is. But Joel points out.
27:11
And this is where we go here. Joel points out, you got a year
27:15
left on that fucking fence. Raiders.
27:17
Okay. Not even fucking ten minutes
27:21
later in this episode villain. Frank good man.
27:24
Four minutes dude, Yassin. It's midnight with the time in
27:27
the rain. You're like, oh God, but that
27:30
scene is shot so fucking brilliantly.
27:34
Well, and I love that. We follow it.
27:36
Really, we followed for all banks respect.
27:38
Yeah, I don't need to see Bill schuette of these motherfuckers,
27:41
see if he's gone and it's just like, where the hell did Bill
27:45
go? He's off to roofings.
27:48
This is not Not sorry, but this is not actual Source material.
27:52
This was written for the show. This is a delegation and the way
27:56
they did this, I don't care. I know there's things missing.
27:59
I know you don't see the bloater.
28:01
I know you don't see that argument C1 and C2 infected and
28:05
everything else is human. But like and I know there's
28:09
things missing like I said the bloater and the argument with
28:11
Ellie and Bill but like what you get here is so much more in my
28:17
opinion. You get.
28:20
Okay. So to touch on the the whole
28:22
midnight scene that I really enjoyed.
28:24
Yeah, we follow from Frank's perspective and we see I like
28:29
this because they're the producers and the writers and
28:33
everybody are teasing exactly what the show has been setting
28:37
up since the beginning. Is that the infected aren't the
28:40
real problem? No, it's the people.
28:43
And yet you did was you don't see.
28:46
Well and well The Walking Dead is The Walking Dead.
28:48
And And they set it up a little bit with so far.
28:52
Yeah, they say that. Like that's the whole thing that
28:54
people got mad with The Walking Dead, when the first start is
28:56
because you look, why is there so much human interaction?
28:58
Because, like, at the end of the day, that's truly what it comes
29:01
down. To is the human interaction
29:03
degree, because the people are not so much and everyone was to
29:06
kill each other now however, we are the most dangerous animal
29:09
live but we but we don't see any of these Raiders other than
29:14
their initial shots of them pushing towards the fence and
29:17
then go down woken up. Fire and electrocution, which is
29:20
always literally flame throat, but whatever.
29:22
I've literally sorry, Evan. I had not tried it, right.
29:25
I'd literally screaming like no Shantz into hell motherfuckers.
29:30
Yeah. It's not having that.
29:32
But then we see on fire, bro. But you see, you know, Frank get
29:37
the gun. He clearly knows how to handle a
29:39
gun because Bill is taught him, which is an absolute lot of
29:42
like, you know, those like okay, you can fix everything up but
29:45
then you gotta do something for me.
29:47
Will do things your way, but I need Need to show you my way to
29:50
like, like, like a relationship right?
29:52
Where it's like, okay, yeah, we'll do what you want but you
29:54
gotta give me. You got to give me this, right?
29:56
You gotta let me teach you this. You got 11.
29:57
The boutique store off fucking shooter, right?
29:59
Yeah. All right, jack.
30:02
I'll let you fix up the boutique store.
30:03
If I get to see teaches you some, basic firearm training
30:06
right service in. Isn't he grabs that gun and
30:08
like, he clearly, like he said, he knows how to, you know, he
30:10
knew how to handle a pistol. Yeah, because Freya bills out
30:15
there with the rifle and he's clearly like taking Marksman
30:18
shots feel like He kind of fumbles the gun a little bit and
30:20
he grabbed these are. All right, I got it.
30:22
Yeah but he follows out the door just that way and then he sees
30:26
he sees Bill, he runs to Bill Bill gets, you know, erbil gets
30:30
hit. And then you, there's that great
30:33
scene where I thought, personally, I thought Bill died.
30:36
We're thinking I would literally like, if this continues and like
30:39
he's a next scene Aphasia, but we were going to stop.
30:41
I'm pissed, I'm pissed. Like, but then, but then, that's
30:44
the thing. Is that, you know, you see it
30:47
again, like It's the the lovely thing is, you know, if I'm with
30:51
a group of friends or another person in the house and one of
30:54
us has been shot, like, I'm thinking of two things.
30:56
I'm thinking, how do I save this person?
30:57
And also, what the hell is going on outside, but Frank doesn't
31:01
even pay it, any mind and bill says the same thing.
31:04
He's like the frame, the flame throwers in the gate will get
31:06
the rest of them, don't worry about God, but even the bill
31:10
doesn't even say, don't worry, he'd bills and say worry about
31:13
me. He says, I have a list.
31:15
Here's the things I want you to know it all troll Frank like a
31:18
Like a good partner is like you tell me about the list saying
31:22
stay awake. Tell me what to do, but you're
31:24
going to be okay. I'm fixing it already like he's
31:27
getting. That's When he finally gets shot
31:46
in there laying down, there is very distinct screaming and it's
31:51
slowly, as I said quiet, so it tapers off eventually towards
31:57
the end when he's kind of just like holding his hand.
31:59
It is dead silence, those ranges notice.
32:02
Those Raiders are dead or ran off and gone.
32:05
Yeah, I didn't notice that that's awesome and I love that
32:08
scene for that because like that were that like like he knew his
32:10
shit he was he knew it was going on and he knew that it would
32:14
Happen. And he was prepared for it that
32:15
and pause before we get too serious.
32:18
I'm gonna be the comic relief if I'm reading someone's house in a
32:22
post-apocalyptic fucking thing and I see a dumbass fence.
32:25
I'm like, dude, we got this. Everyone's like, I don't know,
32:28
Mike, we got this and I see my boy, let's say Evan goes, I'll
32:32
go first boss. I don't think he's Sprints for I
32:36
go. Okay.
32:36
Evan, you go. First and Evan.
32:38
Just on fire. I go not the police, and we
32:41
absolutely, yeah, exactly, mmm. He's Brisk on even I'm gonna
32:45
tear your fucked. You are from the fox that you
32:50
already got past. So while your Panic running its
32:53
fuck to you hit one of those and you're getting killed.
32:56
You mean a simple trip. Wire is a simple trip.
32:58
Wire is like any writers, like, oh, any idiot can do that.
33:01
But when you see a flamethrower come up out of the ground, you
33:03
like, okay, this guy knows what he's doing like yesterday with
33:05
sega's. You go through back to those
33:06
woods. You do, you know if your coat
33:08
and get out everybody who's watching The Infected die, they
33:10
were not near the fence, they were in a perimeter bit like The
33:13
couple yards. Yeah, dude.
33:15
Yeah, there's a couple than that.
33:18
Hit those wires have got a couple bullets to the side of
33:21
the head and when good night that's a, the affected, it was
33:23
just like, and it was gone. I was like God.
33:27
Oh yeah, I know, but can you so pleased?
33:30
I'll lead, uh, lead us into this because this is where the pain
33:33
happens. Is we have to?
33:35
Yes, we have. It's the, it's the best part of
33:38
the episode. When you see my Logan
33:42
strawberries strawberries. So well there is that we did
33:47
feel the touch on that but basically Frank is is is as we
33:51
said bills partner and he shows Bill, you need to work out.
33:55
You need to run every day here. You know.
33:57
Like you need to know the importance of key which I loved
33:59
healthy which is what makes all of this more tragic is that you
34:04
know you're not sure who died who died or like, you're not
34:07
sure if Bill died and then it cuts It's two are Fades into
34:12
Rather. Somebody on a porch.
34:14
You can't see who they are, but you see that, they're in a
34:18
wheelchair and you hear somebody's, you hear Frank's a
34:22
bill bill and Bill comes out and says it's getting cold inside.
34:26
Frank's the one in the wheelchair, so we don't know,
34:29
you know, we didn't know anything about that and then it
34:32
looks that. I mean, Frank looks older than
34:34
bill at this point. In Bill certainly has got
34:36
looking at me. Logan, stop this both of you.
34:40
This is emotional and you need to be attentive.
34:43
First, I thought, I thought the first same thing ever.
34:46
It's like the thing that it makes you give the dead giveaway
34:48
is the way that he got shot in the stomach is functions and he
34:53
was paralyzed can't walk down. Yeah.
34:55
Well guess what they, you know reversed us.
35:04
Yeah, before we go into this, now let him do one.
35:06
Before we go into this. The strawberry scene is one of
35:09
my favorite scenes. I've seen in the show so far,
35:12
because it go, it's not just the strawberries, it's the gun
35:15
thing. Yes, I traded Joel and test a
35:18
gun for a pack machines, which going to use it.
35:21
Don't worry. It was a small one.
35:24
And they immediately bill goes, I don't fucking care in his
35:28
head. He's like, I don't get, is it
35:30
fucking gone? It's really.
35:32
Not that I'm poor. I just don't care about the gun
35:33
and they they're about to like get romantic.
35:36
There's like not on the strawberries that fucking Made
35:42
my heart. Happy that right there, that
35:53
conversation they walked away when they walked away.
35:56
He went over and was like I kind of gave him that second
36:02
affirmation of these people made by significant other half.
36:07
Yeah, they are good people. I will at least I'm tired out.
36:12
The guy don't care about the gun.
36:14
Yeah, I Partners happy and they let him have this moment.
36:18
They are good people. Yeah, it was just beautiful to
36:21
me man. This is now, let's get into the
36:23
heavy. Shit, is everyone here?
36:25
So that was heavy. So that alone is happening.
36:29
We see that Frank is in a wheelchair and he's sick with
36:32
something and it's not it's not necessarily implied as to what
36:36
it is. But it's some form of cancer or
36:38
at some part of the, some form of neurodegenerative disease
36:41
because he can't use his hands. He has to use a straw now to
36:45
drink fluids. He can't cut up his own food, he
36:48
has to be basically force-fed stuff and he can barely even
36:53
paint. And you can see throughout the
36:55
house that there's a lot of paintings all over the wall that
36:58
are varying degrees of very beautiful too.
37:01
You can tell where he started to struggle and the last one he's
37:04
working on is a portrait of Bill that he never Finishes.
37:08
And this is a beautiful thing that I love is when he's in the
37:11
greenhouse and he's trying to paint and Bill comes over and
37:14
just kind of Winks at him and then because he's busy doing
37:16
something else but he's just like, it's a silent way of
37:19
saying. I'm here for you.
37:20
Let me know if you need something, I'm alone over here
37:23
and then you know, they're eating dinner and he takes Frank
37:30
to bed Bill does, and Bill wakes up the next day and Frank's
37:35
already in the chair. And Bill immediately goes into
37:40
caring mode of like, I got to get you back into bed.
37:42
You gotta go to sleep, like Mom. Yeah, I would almost, yeah, you
37:45
gotta go to sleep. If you fall asleep in your
37:47
chair, your feet are. Do we go Blue?
37:49
A cold doing the whole lecture? He's like, it's not even
37:53
something. Like, think of it at that.
37:54
Think about it that way, right? The thing he's worried about
37:55
isn't inherently something, super serious?
37:58
Not just like, he's like, I just don't want you to be
38:02
uncomfortable and Frank and honestly some of my favorite
38:05
writing of the show is Today's my last day and feels like, what
38:10
are you talking about? And he's like, you know, you've
38:13
given me more good days than anybody else has ever.
38:16
Given me. Give me one more and he has this
38:20
hat. I'm sorry.
38:21
Evan, I'm so sorry. But he is honest with Bill to
38:25
he's like and yeah you've given me shit.
38:28
Daisy, never backside. Yeah you never has any moment
38:31
where he's like, oh maybe I'm not going to go through this
38:33
whole as soon as he says those words.
38:36
Exactly. It is that entire day.
38:38
That is the plan. Exactly.
38:40
But like it's the honesty. It's like you've given me fuck
38:43
today's as well. Yeah, you pissed me off.
38:45
This has not been perfect. What?
38:47
I love you. Give me one last good day.
38:50
Yeah, and here's my, here's my itinerary, right?
38:53
I want to, I want you to do this.
38:56
I want you to take me over to the boutique because I'm going
38:57
to pick out clothes for us, and we're going to get married.
39:00
You're going to wear what I want you to wear.
39:02
And then love that and you're going to like it.
39:05
Yeah. And you're going to cook me a
39:06
delicious dinner and then he gives them, he shows him a bag
39:09
of pills and says and you're going to put all these in my
39:11
wine glass, I'm gonna drink it and then we're going to go to
39:14
bed and you're gonna fall asleep.
39:18
I'm gonna fall asleep in your arms and they go through and do
39:22
all the stuff. We don't hear any of their
39:23
conversations. We see them going to the
39:25
boutique. We see them getting, we see them
39:29
dressed up and what Frank wanted them dressed in.
39:32
Exchanging Rings kissing each other.
39:35
They see we see that their last meal is also their first.
39:39
It is Revit exam. All right, off the bat, I was
39:43
like it's fucking rabbit and he did that fucking plate tilt God
39:50
damn it and then he you know they eat and you notice again
39:55
this I'm sure you all. I'm sure you both did is when
39:58
you see them meet. For the first time they are on
40:00
opposite ends of the table. And now they are reacting to
40:03
each other. I said that as well.
40:05
He's sitting next door. Yeah.
40:07
Yeah. They're right next to each
40:08
other. They eat.
40:09
And then Bill comes out and he pours another glass, a bigger
40:14
glass for both of them as no dessert.
40:18
Whatever. Jesus.
40:20
No, I want to strangle them. I wanted this ring, I already
40:23
want to strangle them to glad he's not the Discord right now,
40:25
but anyway, he been pours. All of the crushed up pills into
40:30
Frank's drink. It swirls it around and gives it
40:34
to Frank Frank, drinks it, and then Bill drinks his and it
40:39
takes a second. And then Frank goes, you already
40:42
had pills in the bottle that Yap and Bill goes enough to kill a
40:46
horse. So, Which I, if you notice that
40:51
too, now that I'm just thinking about it.
40:53
Wow, great writing is because there were already pills in the
40:57
bottle. And there were pills in the wolf
41:01
in the glass. That means that Frank would have
41:03
fallen asleep faster which if you know, Bill had to wait to
41:08
write the note because he wouldn't want Frank to know.
41:12
Exactly. So You probably took Frank
41:16
upstairs. Went back downstairs.
41:19
Wrote that note, what else? No, they didn't go downstairs.
41:22
They're better than go upstairs. So Bill rolling Frank into the
41:33
bedroom and shutting the door and then we cut to Joel and
41:35
Ellie, finally arriving. If you can get, see, you can see
41:40
that. Joel knows what's up with these,
41:41
like plans of the flowers aren't watered, yeah.
41:45
Look, son, kept, it looks on kept, it's not what bill and
41:48
Frank would do no, especially not bill, right?
41:50
And intentions do. Something's wrong.
41:56
People have come in his first belly.
42:00
Stay still for Joel.
42:12
Even walked got close to the gate.
42:15
Oh yeah. That's what I'm told.
42:16
It was Joanna, greet him. Yeah, exactly.
42:20
So we get there and we see them kind of talking to each other,
42:23
Joel and Ellie and Ellie finds the note, I believe.
42:29
Yep. Really does know he finds the
42:30
note with the key to the car. And, you know, raise it.
42:34
Joel kind of walks around notices, that that door to the
42:37
bedroom is locked and you can't get in.
42:40
And Ellie's reading the note, the asks, you know, he says read
42:44
it to me and She reads through it and says, you know, if
42:47
you're, you know, I love that. The the line on the envelope is
42:51
to whomever but probably Joel but probably Joel.
42:54
Yeah the first couple lines he goes hey I'm assuming if you
42:59
made it through electrical gate than it was you Joel because the
43:03
only person that could get through that without fucking
43:05
dying. Yeah, and you know, he says we
43:10
left the window open because the bedroom is a sight to see at
43:13
this point. Probably But we didn't want the
43:15
house to stink which I love that.
43:18
That was a nice little Cherry. Yeah, it almost felt like and
43:21
you know, if it was clearly Bill writing that note which just
43:24
shows how much a Frank's influence played on his life
43:28
because that's not something bill would ever say, on his only
43:30
hit him with the, he he, he times 80.
43:33
Yeah. Yeah.
43:34
He to. But that, we've alluded to that,
43:36
that fucked us up. Yeah, and the thing about that
43:40
note, that is the most powerful is Bill saying you And I are the
43:45
same and yeah, our only job is to protect the people we love
43:49
because that's what we do best. And you know the the
43:54
heartbreaking thing is he says you know, they're take you have
43:58
I'm giving you access to all of my equipment, all my weapons,
44:00
anything you need. It is yours.
44:02
This is the past because it's all my shoes.
44:04
Yeah, here's the pass code to everything.
44:06
Here's the bunker code and you know keep test safe and Ellie
44:11
stops before she can say tests and then Joel reads it and then
44:17
goes outside and I thought he was going to like cheer up or
44:21
have a panic attack. But yet we still don't see that
44:23
from Joliet. We don't see was able to just
44:25
keep it fucking down low. You can see is so much.
44:28
I hate dress face. He's always pushed it down.
44:33
You can see that from this man, but the thing beautiful thing
44:36
about Joel is And yes Pedro Pascal is hot.
44:40
That's fine, that's fine. But what I'm saying is it's
44:44
weathered on him, the stress, the emotion.
44:47
He's just taken and driven down into his core.
44:51
It is on his body and you can see him.
44:55
Just that's one more. Even if it's emotional, that's
44:58
one more scar. I'm Joel rat.
45:01
Well, that line on the Note just was one more wrinkle, one more
45:05
gray hair. You know I'm saying like Yeah,
45:08
we never see what the rest of the note says.
45:11
And it's it's again just a reminder of, you know, how he
45:16
knows. For instance, how angry Bill and
45:19
Frank would be if it was if it was reversed where Bill and
45:22
Frank were okay and test still died, right?
45:24
Yes, you like they would look at Joel not, you know, I don't
45:29
think they really would. They wouldn't be like a judge
45:31
Jewels jewels. First reaction is what would
45:33
they think of me? Even though they probably
45:35
wouldn't even come close to what Joe was actually thinking?
45:38
But but he thinks they'd be so disappointed in me and I'm
45:41
disappointed in me and Ellie is disappointed in me because I
45:44
haven't been able to do what this is, is a job.
45:47
Even though it wasn't his job, it was his job and it's his
45:52
person's gone. Yeah.
45:54
And the writer said, he failed to save his daughter.
45:59
Saved us and Joel's constant question.
46:02
Can he do it? Yeah, Joel's constant.
46:04
Question is, who's I'm going to fail?
46:06
Who am I going to fail? Next, Joel?
46:07
Already, his head is going. I'm going to fail Ellie even
46:10
though he's not portraying Delhi.
46:13
Joel cares. It's already hard ass.
46:16
Yes, he cares already. You already hairs.
46:18
It's a little girl. He already is seeing his
46:21
daughter in her even if they're Polar Opposites.
46:24
And they are, then they are, but he's already going this.
46:28
But the thing is Ellie reminds Joel of Joel.
46:33
Yeah, so he's already going fuck.
46:35
I gotta steer you the opposite way.
46:37
Yeah. So of course in his head, he's
46:39
like, I got to go into dad mode, even if I can't go in dad mode,
46:41
so I'm not going to go and Dad. But I'm going, it's this
46:44
conundrum. He's gotten his fucking head and
46:46
it's already fucking wearing on him and it's beautiful.
46:50
Sorry, for a third time in a Row, Third fucking times.
46:53
I was like, ooh, am I gonna fail now?
46:55
Well, they spend time together to write, because of course,
46:58
there's no car battery in the car, that was hilarious, which I
47:03
love that bill. I think was still smart enough
47:05
of like, okay, if whoever is dumb and whoever is able to get
47:08
all that and it's not Joel. Then you do it.
47:12
Yeah. Yeah you make a car battery.
47:14
The like ironic like situation in that though where every
47:19
single goddamn times all these are battery.
47:22
There's no can never get a goddamn bring enough.
47:26
He's better and then he sees it he's like okay I can make one
47:31
and but then again right he smiles.
47:33
Yeah, bills like you know how to make one.
47:35
So this is for you but he's like he's willing to bet that no
47:38
random Raiders that got through all the stuff would know how to
47:41
make them would know how to make car.
47:43
Battery never. So this letter of we're the same
47:45
person like you. So want to take some time and
47:47
they get to spend some time together and say, okay here go
47:50
get this, go get that grab what you need take a shower you know?
47:53
Ellie tells him take a shower because you stink bro and they
47:56
clearly they finally are able to get in the car and Ellie in her.
48:01
Amazing childhood wonder is like, it's like a spaceship
48:04
which is a nice little Pause pause.
48:09
Let's go back. Let's go to the bunker.
48:13
They go to the bunker. Oh yeah it's explained why that
48:16
song was playing the 80s music was playing.
48:20
Death, they were in trouble. Yeah, there was trouble.
48:24
There was trouble when it wasn't intentional.
48:26
It wasn't exactly like 20 minutes but it's still there,
48:32
right? So it's like, okay, we have to
48:33
go there now, but the funniest part about that was she's like
48:37
huh God. He's like no.
48:40
She's like, there's a whole fucking wall.
48:42
Mm. Yeah.
48:43
Well the funny thing is that's so good.
48:49
Yeah, well, And that's the, that's the other thing too, is
48:52
that LE finds the gun that Frank would have used and she's
48:55
actually has it in her backpack, which is another.
48:58
I think, I know where that gun is going to come into play.
49:01
I have it is wrong. I think I have a pretty strong
49:03
hunch, but you get to see them spend time with each other and
49:07
and, you know, Ellie still has her little sense of just pushing
49:11
Joel and, you know, kind of pissed him off.
49:13
But being a smartass and Joel being very hard-headed and just
49:17
saying, you know, no, here's what you're going to do.
49:20
Is the rules. Here are the rules.
49:22
Don't tell anybody about your condition.
49:24
Keep your history to yourself. Don't talk to me about mine and
49:27
listen to what I mustn't. Listen to what I say when I say
49:29
it. And alleys, like, okay, dude, I
49:32
get it. And he goes, say it back to me.
49:33
And all she says, is all she says, is whatever you say goes.
49:37
Yep. Which is, I love that where it's
49:39
like, she doesn't. It's almost like, yeah.
49:41
She probably does Russia because Russia really sad, but if she
49:43
doesn't write, she's like, you know, I'm just going to give you
49:46
this answer instead of actually repeating everything back to
49:48
you. He gives her That straight cold
49:51
face of I guess. I understand like fuck.
49:53
Yeah, like let's okay. You got it.
49:55
Yeah and then and then the the nice thing is, is to cap.
50:00
It all off. Is the the car batteries done.
50:02
They get in the car. Well, he's all excited and she
50:06
finds a CD or a, not a CD. Sorry types has a tape.
50:09
Oh my God. So old and finally, you're
50:12
young? No, yeah, tape was all I know
50:21
them but like I know Papi disc. I like how Joel still has so
50:26
much respect for Bill where he's like, put his shit away.
50:30
Like stop. Yeah.
50:31
When they fight over the radio to I like the volume and all the
50:34
knobs because she's just touching shit.
50:35
He's like stop stop. He goes could you not?
50:38
Yeah. Not like and the song the song
50:42
that plays is the song that bill plays to Frank.
50:46
It's a Linda Ronstadt song. Yeah he plays it and A jewel
50:51
immediately kind of goes. Oh, this is great.
50:52
Linda Ronstadt, you don't know who that is?
50:54
Do you? And she's like, no, I don't.
50:56
But she's like, not about the music and they get up to the
50:59
gate and she's like better than nothing and I really know them.
51:02
We get to see them drive off into the sunset while the song
51:06
plays which really is probably the nicest ending you'll get in
51:09
this show because the next episode last could like having
51:12
it this is like the Hat even though it's just a emotional
51:17
ride as you happiest story. Of an apocalypse, especially the
51:22
zombie apocalypse situation. You'll, it was a perfect story
51:25
for two people, in a, in a world like this, right?
51:28
Yeah, threat. They had the best ending.
51:30
It was still a, which is bad ending but which is arguably,
51:34
the tragic thing about it is that they had everything and yet
51:37
what subtle was, and what ended it so fast was something that
51:41
no, no, nobody could stop any other team.
51:45
Well, Joel, if he took his chair, he took his advice.
51:50
I thought about those Raiders coming, I know you need to help
51:53
me. God, well, seems like he took
51:56
Joel's help. Well, he did take those out but
51:58
like what, what ended that whole relationship wasn't something
52:02
that Joe could have helped like know for sure it was a terrible
52:06
disease. Yeah, Frank just says like they
52:08
didn't fix this before. Why would they fix it now?
52:11
And you love that from Bill to of like what if we get help it's
52:16
that desperate. Plea of there's gotta be
52:17
something for my person. It's like whatever you like,
52:20
what if we find a doctor? Would have a doctor comes
52:23
around. He's like the dogs and Frank
52:25
being even if Frank. Frank says if it wasn't curable
52:30
before the pandemic it's not. What makes you think it is now?
52:33
And that's the like I said the tragic thing about it is you get
52:38
to watch this beautiful relationship and it's tragically
52:40
cut short by something that happens.
52:41
All tuna wilts. Yeah well it's it's cut off its
52:45
cut short by something the world around them which has now vast
52:49
way. More ways of dying.
52:51
And then all of the reason that the reason that was about
52:56
exactly the pocalypse, and even get the them.
52:58
You know what? I'm something before the
53:00
apocalypse. Oh, the bill says that to him,
53:02
too, because you've made me happy.
53:04
You know, you've given me satisfaction, you've satisfied
53:07
my life and I'm an old band and I'm old.
53:10
So like I'm happy and there's no reason for me to says, oh, and
53:13
if end yeah, there's no reason to keep going.
53:16
If, if that's what you know, is what's going to happen?
53:19
Right, I'm gonna just I'm gonna live with you, you know, and
53:23
sleep with you and yeah, I got nothing much more to say on that
53:29
other than that's beautiful. And anybody who really has a
53:32
problem with it, you're really not seeing the point, it's
53:36
really not about them being Bill and Frank.
53:38
It's about that being life. Exactly, that's just to it.
53:44
That's just how it goes if you find somebody like that.
53:46
That that's, that's what can happen.
53:49
And Honestly in some ways, what you should pray to have happen
53:53
because look at how happy they situation like that.
53:56
Yeah. So as Nick said at the
53:58
beginning, if you're real issue, is the fact that it's Bill and
54:01
Frank and not Joel and test or something like that.
54:04
You've got other issues that you need to look at your the problem
54:08
and the situation, right? What I was going to say is any
54:14
other team behind project such as this Would have steered away
54:20
from this entirely and I'm very happy.
54:23
We got the team behind this show to do this episode.
54:28
Well I watched episode ever again, maybe one more time,
54:31
maybe even one more time. I just love Nick offerman's like
54:35
this. The episode is so depressing.
54:38
I don't ever want to watch it again but his love and Nick
54:40
auction it so much that watching these athletes over time.
54:45
I talked to the Christian. Yes, to watch it with your
54:47
fiance tomorrow. Dude, you're okay.
54:52
How do you think Christy's gonna do all this episode tomorrow?
54:55
I mean every episode so far, she's given a 10.
54:59
So this is gonna get like a 15 and Parks and Rec is hurt one of
55:02
her favorite like Pastime show. She's probably watched it like
55:06
20 times and like, Ron all around Swanson and Nick Offerman
55:10
as an actor's one of her top tier actors.
55:14
Like she already knows he's in it and is like super prepared to
55:17
see him for an episode. But I don't think she's in any
55:21
way shape, or form paired for what?
55:24
This episode contains so best of luck to her best of luck to you
55:32
Christy. Yeah, if if you are yeah.
55:41
Oh yeah, if you're posting about this episode and weird fucking
55:45
ways, stop, I'm not going crazy into it easy.
55:49
You didn't, you didn't really watch the episode in my opinion
55:51
though you didn't play the game is already established that Just
55:54
play the game course. Exactly.
55:57
So just don't be weird. Swash episode enjoy it for what?
56:01
For as long as you can enjoy the episode at least.
56:04
Yeah it'd be more of an issue of Frank showed up and it was Frank
56:07
L and it was a girl. You like that's not supposed to
56:09
be a girl Frank. What the hell?
56:12
Yes, I'm sorry that be more annoying.
56:14
Like they kept it to the source material.
56:16
They did not change anything. A lot of people right now are
56:20
also bitching about the fact. There is no bloater there.
56:24
Is no argument with Bill and Ellie dude.
56:30
It's going to get just let that let the series play out.
56:33
I think there was a moment where I was like a nod to the game.
56:36
The game Community who have played it is that she's walking
56:39
down the stairs of that bunker. She goes these guns, this guy.
56:44
Yeah genius genius had that altercation and they would have
56:53
figured it out. Exactly.
57:03
Well, I think one of the cooler Easter eggs was the Mortal
57:06
Kombat 2 machine. That was a cool Easter egg.
57:10
Yeah, that was pretty nice. Do you remember that Logan?
57:15
I do. Yeah, logos just kind of looking
57:17
so. Sweet.
57:18
Just letting Evan and green eyes.
57:19
I don't like Mortal Kombat go. So it wasn't like, it was cool,
57:25
right? I mean, it's just showing more
57:27
of Ellie's excitement and her recognition drags.
57:32
Yeah. She's just happy to see what you
57:33
saw. And you know, got her reminding
57:35
of she said A friend of mine was really good at this and do all.
57:38
The moves. I'm willing to bet that that
57:40
friend is Riley. Well, they show on your opinion
57:44
and I know they've really quick flashback, like moments, will
57:48
they showed you think a more in-depth scene or episode?
57:52
Possibly, I believe an entire episode is about alien, really?
57:56
I think so. And that would have to be.
57:59
You can't really have the entire.
58:01
You can't have the show without that because we had people who
58:04
haven't played the games. Need to know.
58:05
Exactly. So so, when do you think you see
58:07
that? Eight because they're going to
58:10
give us some big-ass Cliffhanger on seven and make us wait
58:13
another two weeks to see exactly what happens is, there is a cap
58:19
will because nobody could be that episode and then after 7:00
58:23
and 10:00 hanger, episode 8 comes doesn't deal with anything
58:26
really it's just a saw a giant flashback and then it's like now
58:29
back to the main show. But you know what I love though
58:32
about this is I love, this is just a separate thing but I love
58:35
that they're kind of going off of episodes with certain They're
58:39
the episodes are different lengths, like you always expect
58:42
them to the season. The season premiere is always
58:44
going to be a little longer and the season finale is going to
58:46
always be a little longer or whatever.
58:48
And then, you know, usually have like a 45 minute to an hour
58:51
episode for every in the middle or, you know, something like
58:55
that. But, yeah, you know, an hour and
58:56
20 for the first 45 to 54 the second, and now an hour and 15
59:01
for the third. It's like, I love that.
59:04
Yeah, honestly, you gotta give him the screen time.
59:08
Hate it. I hate to be that guy and I
59:10
understand it's because I'm such a fan of this franchise but like
59:13
honestly with how good these episodes are, I wouldn't mind
59:15
them. All being an hour and a half
59:16
long. I would like them to be because
59:19
I want to see more it goes but then by the end, you're loving
59:26
every minute that you want. Begin the conversion.
59:34
Yeah, you all want them. I want long because it's like,
59:37
they are doing such a great job with the pacing, and the
59:40
storytelling and whatnot, but to for me to not dwell on it so
59:44
much anymore because I really can't wrap them up.
59:47
This episode, gets a 10 for me. Easy.
59:50
Okay, if I can go above a 10, I'll go above a 10, but yeah, 10
59:55
episodes like it's a straight ten Outta ten.
59:57
Its Incredible. Subsidy was beautiful and
1:00:01
incredible. Whenever redeem myself from my 9
1:00:04
and give this one a temporary five.
1:00:07
Goddamn. Let me put this in our Callie.
1:00:10
It's, it would be it's going to get it's a nine and a half and
1:00:13
then run off Nick Offerman, Nick Offerman.
1:00:16
Yeah, yeah. So to recap The Last of Us
1:00:25
episode 1 from Evan of myself, you guys can expect Logan on all
1:00:29
these episodes. By the way, So so far The Last
1:00:34
of Us episode 1 got a 9.5 from Eva to myself.
1:00:39
Episode 2 from Evan myself and Logan got annoyed 9.8.
1:00:42
I almost said Annoying like Blink-182 that we just want to
1:00:45
put it in there. I give the first episode of 10
1:00:47
because I love the cold open. So video game kind of shot for
1:00:53
shot moments. It was first episode Nick.
1:00:56
I think Nick gave it a 9.5 just like that actually would bump it
1:01:00
up to a 10. So a 10 Slide, 19, .8, episode 2
1:01:05
and a 10 episode 3. Yeah, she's asked rais'd.
1:01:11
It is. It is the I think I saw an IMD.
1:01:13
It's the most popular TV show right now.
1:01:16
If you like to tally, Christie's to I'll give you a hearse
1:01:18
tomorrow she's given 10 for the first two episodes.
1:01:21
And well Jesus Christ, and I think everybody in the eye, you
1:01:25
have to have to ask people in the disk or not asking that.
1:01:28
No, that's how I think. I think that point.
1:01:31
Yeah. Matt's gonna be like it was
1:01:32
Good. It's like okay.
1:01:33
Alright, you saying that, like you could do better even he
1:01:35
said, I love east of the East would be like yeah, Ethan played
1:01:41
the games. Yeah.
1:01:42
But what makes it even weirder why you drank it so low because
1:01:45
he's a hardcore fan and he all right, all right, keep it
1:01:50
rolling. I still love him.
1:01:52
That's just how it is. But, you know, so we're yeah,
1:01:56
ranking. This one is just a straight ten
1:01:58
across the board from everybody and I'm excited for the next
1:02:02
episode because it looks like a really gonna get to see Joel
1:02:04
step into his protector role and Yuri for violence.
1:02:08
Probably still be sure that I'm ready for him to himself out
1:02:12
like a spoon over all that built up, energy.
1:02:15
Just seen we've seen Joel kill somebody right?
1:02:20
We see how he has that power. He killed that officer.
1:02:24
No, I would say that that would say the fedra.
1:02:27
He's just he just really fucked up.
1:02:29
Yeah. He didn't kill him in the way.
1:02:30
Batman doesn't kill. Just gives them permanent brain
1:02:32
damage or yeah. Yeah, that guy is like basically
1:02:35
just which which in this case let's be honest if he's a
1:02:39
permanently paralyzed Federal Officer they're probably just
1:02:41
going to kill him. So let's just say maybe Nick's
1:02:45
but maybe Jewel didn't kill him but Joel killed him he
1:02:48
inadvertently ended his life. Yes, yeah, whatever.
1:02:52
And we're gonna see now which I loved them, the little trailer
1:02:55
we saw which is an iconic moment in the game is them driving into
1:02:59
Pittsburgh and if Somebody saying I'm hurt.
1:03:02
Help me. Please help me and Ellie goes,
1:03:05
we got a healthily got to help and she goes to get out and help
1:03:07
him and jewels like no, no, no, this is not help.
1:03:11
No, we're not and he reverses that thing immediately like
1:03:14
know, he knows what's up. Well, in the end, the guy who
1:03:18
the guy who's pretending to be hurt in the game.
1:03:21
Recognize like, he immediately breaks to and goes to pull out a
1:03:24
gun, like he knows like, you know, obviously thinking that to
1:03:27
you see like around like, you know, the corners and also
1:03:29
there's people around people all show.
1:03:31
This was a setup. Yes, absolutely, absolutely an
1:03:35
ambush. But yeah, there's a great thing
1:03:37
that Joel says in the game that I hope he says next episode.
1:03:40
Where Ellie asks how did he know?
1:03:42
And he goes I've been on both sides.
1:03:43
So again alluding to and I hope you get a little bit more in
1:03:47
depth on that because I love that Joel.
1:03:49
It's not afraid to really tell Ellie I have been a bad person,
1:03:53
you know, I have done things like this.
1:03:54
I love in this episode which we didn't touch on.
1:03:57
He's got a scar on his head and Ellie asks how he got that.
1:04:00
And he He's like some guy shot and he missed.
1:04:03
And she's like, did you shoot back at him?
1:04:05
Did you get him? And she goes, no, he goes.
1:04:07
He goes. No, I missed you.
1:04:08
And she goes, cause you suck, and he goes, no, a general.
1:04:10
It's just hard as hell. To hit people.
1:04:12
Happens more than you think it happens more than you think.
1:04:15
So yeah. No, 10 across the board from
1:04:17
everybody here at wasd and cant wait for episode 4.
1:04:20
I can't wait to watch Jewel. Craft a bunch of Spike bombs die
