As far as I know this is all correct! By the way, in the game you kill Bloaters by burning them, for example using a Molotov cocktail.

Someone feel free to correct me if I get this wrong, this is what I found when I looked into it. The big boy infected that came out of the ground and ripped off Percy's head is called a "Bloater" and it's an infected that has lived a really long time; 15-20 years. Bloaters (from what I read) typically start out as a large, strong, healthy person and they can endure the infection longer and eventually turn into that. The infected are alive, unlike in The Walking Dead so, when Ellie stabbed that one in the neck, it died like a living person does. The Bloaters have what acts like armor grown around their body so, it's going to take more like a .50 cal to kill it, luckily Bloaters are rare. That's what I know, if it's not correct someone let her and me know. Thanks for your reaction! I cried and basically didn't stop as soon as Sam, knowing he was infected was concerned for Ellie cutting herself...that was just so sweet.

Definitely a hard watch! Both had such cool character designs and personalities. Instantly fell in love with them… the actors were amazing too to pull off such a gut wrenching scene like that.

The whole story with Sam and Henry is so tragic. When I played the game for the first time I was only 16 and I was definitely not ready for such a story. I remember being so shocked that I didn't touch the game for a week. Especially because the game doesn't give you time to process what happened. Immediately after the cutscene, you're supposed to continue playing normally, and I just couldn't do that.
But the episode is still incredibly good in my opinion. Not everyone can tell such a story in just under an hour.
Thanks for the reaction!
