Watching my husband play this game was so much fun. I with they showed more clickers in the show but I get why they didnt. My favorite thing was that over the 9 episodes you see Joel pretty much loose his identity of being a father. Then slowly you see bits and pieces of his old self coming back, in terms of fatherhood. Then I think after they left Wyoming he really started to feel a fatherly bond with her. And the end when he killed everyone to save her , it's what most parents would do to safe their kids, they would do anything. She really gave him a reason to live again.

Additionally, the person who plays Tommy in the game was the guy with long hair in Kansas City. He was that one crazy lady's right hand man when they were tracking down Henry & Sam. If that doesn't jog your memory, he also got his head torn off by the bloater.

I know I'm a bit late, but a few fun facts you may not know:
The person who played Joel in the video game was the person who played James in the show. He was David's (the bad man) number 2 guy. He's the guy Ellie had killed with the machete just before she ran into the dining room trying to flee from David. He was 1 of the 2 people who had her on the table and were about to kill her. He voice acted for Joel in the game, but he doesn't look too much like him.
The person who played Ellie in the game is Ellie's mom in the show! You met her in the last episode as she was pregnant with Ellie. She modeled for the character as well as did the voice acting.
The person who voice acted for Tommy in the game is the person who played that one guy in Kansas City with long hair. He was that crazy lady's number 2 and who was always with her. He was the guy that got his head ripped off by the bloater (the large infected that climbed out of the hole, throwing people around).

I absolutely agree with Joel

It seems like everyone with children things Joel did the right thing and everyone who doesn’t have children thinks that he didn’t

This was one of my favourite games at the time, and she was a fantastic character. Too be fair they both were. If anything she is even more of a badass in the game with using bows and arrows too if my memory serves.

You guys should react to The Making of The Last Of Us. It’s great hearing from the actors and creators of the show You will see Bella Ramsey (Ellie) in Game of Thrones

I think it’s so interesting to see the character development between Joel and Ellie. At first he didn’t want anything to do with her and just referred to her as cargo, but he grew to love her like a daughter and couldn’t stand the thought of losing another daughter even though a cure could have been created to save the planet with her death. He also knows that she would’ve sacrificed herself for the cure and he still couldn’t let her die. She knows he’s not be truthful with her.

And James in the episode prior was played by Troy baker..the voice actor for Joel.

Im not sure if anyone has mentioned it yet but, this show is based on a video game and the person who plays Ellie's mother in this episode was actually the voice actor for Ellie in the video game which released about 10 years ago.

LOL, my response to my professor was, "As soon as you buy one, it should drive you to the desert and safely eject you out onto soft sand before self-destructing." Oh man, that would have been bad if they hit the dead body! GPS lies! I always wondered who set the fines...who said...well if you drive into a crime scene, that would cost $146... not $150...haha. My sister got a ticket in a school zone, but because she was a first-time offender and had no points on the record, she got away with attending a weekend class on safe driving and had to take a test.

Interesting thoughts. The best suggestion is to not have self driving cars & only have people who actually know how to drive behind the wheel.
Side note , I was in traffic court today & heard several cases ahead of my friends each one was worse than the case before. I person who didn't know the rules of the road was listening to their GPS and drove into a crime scene and almost ran over the victims body. $146 fine . My friend however had a speeding ticket in a school zone, the officer that wrote the ticket lied about the speed (greatly exaggerated the speed) and my friend lost his cool & got a contempt charge saying "hell I was going 10 over not running bodies over!" Over $2000. More of a funny story than A side note sorry

Hope so. The Wire got voted #2 best tv series ever after The Sopranos. I think The Wire would be their favorite series yet by far.

One of my professors in college used an example similar to this one to illustrate ways of thinking. The idea that one life is less valuable than the sum of all lives would be akin to utilitarianism. Today, the most outstanding utilitarian scientists are battling moral dilemmas related to self-driving vehicles. For instance, with Tesla, what if you are traveling at a high rate of speed when an object in the road appears that requires immediate lane switching, but lane switching would kill a motorcyclist to your left or a van full of children to your right? Or what if there is an extreme drop-off, like a cliff? Should the vehicle swerve? What if the object in the road is a person? Does it strike the person on the road to save the driver of the Tesla? Should the vehicle drive straight into the object in the road, sacrificing the Tesla and the life of its owner, or strike other motorists on the highway? Interesting topic, is one life worth more than a sum of other lives? Would the programmers of the code that choose to save the Telsa owner be liable for the injury/death of other motorists?

I love these last two episodes. Fun little tid bit, David's friend Jeremy was played by Troy Baker who played Joel in the video game. Also, Ellie's mom was played by Ashley Johnson who played Ellie in the video game. These episodes were intense in the series and also just as intense in the video game. The director indicated of the show indicated that this series was about the power of love. Falling out of, losing it, learning to love again, the good that love can bring and the bad that love can make you do. Great reactions!

These last two episodes had me all in my feelings. I wasn’t sure if I’d get into it in the beginning but I ended up loving this series so much.
I’m not sure how I feel about Joel’s actions in the end. For the most part, I am for what happened because I can’t imagine him losing someone like that again. But when you look at the big picture, Joel is a mass murderer. Throughout the whole season, he just kills anyone who gets in his way, and often brutally. I don’t think it’s as cut and dry as him being “good” or “bad,” but it’s something I thought about for a while after I watched this. He took out an entire Firefly cell to save Ellie, and not all of those people were even armed.

Actress Ashley Johnson who plays Ellie's pregnant mom in episode 9, is also the voice for Ellie in the video game

One of the scariest things about David is that he was a teacher b4 the outbreak so how many kids did he hurt b4 all this. Also the meat that they were eating wasn't deer meat is was the little girls dad that's why he said they couldn't bury him yet. That's why James was so slow to eat it and ate little bites. Joel is an absolute savage. Alot of people disagree with Joel's decision at the end but 1 thing everyone has in common is they all understand why he did it and how hard of a decision it would b to willingly sacrifice a girl that he cared for. He was not about to lose another daughter. They are also doing 2 more seasons to follow the second game. Ellie also didn't grow up with Marleen Marleen dropped her off at the federal school which is where alot of orphans r left bcause she was safer there than with Marleen. Marleen found her in the mall after she was bit.

Yes Asia there will be a season 2 of the last of us!! So excited but it’s gonna be a long wait. I’m glad you guys liked the show. I never played the game but fell in love with the show after one episode.

James (Troy Baker) in episode 8, dude who takes a hatchet is Joel in the games. The pregnant woman in the beginning of 9 is Ellie in the games. Love how they used certain game actors sprinkled throughout the show.
Darth Brooks

ASIA, please quit skipping the recaps for the second episodes. The recaps don't just show "what you just saw" in the previous episode. They show information in the entire series that matters to the episode you're about to watch. Please quit skipping the recaps.
This applies to Game of Thrones too, which you're still watching. The reason y'all are so often confused is that you don't watch the recaps. Things that happened in season 1 can matter in season 5. The recaps will remind you of them. WATCH ALL THE RECAPS. They are there to help you. Quit skipping them.

There will be a Season 2, and 3, both of which will cover part 2 of the game, but the next season won't begin filming until near the end of this year, so maybe by mid 2024 we'll see the 2nd season.

Hey guys. There will be a season 2 but they have to make it first. Did you know this show is based on a video game on PlayStation? There is a part 1 and part 2 in the games. They are great games worth playing. The guy that plays Joel appears in episode 8 and the Ellie’s mother in episode 9 is the actress that plays Ellie in the game. Anyway, great watch along! Keep well!
