And it's a very tough episode. It's a very tough watch.

Agreed, yeah. And I just love that last shot of all of them going back to Jackson on fire and this moment where Ellie's looking back at the body. You don't see exactly what she's looking at at first, but when the camera pans back around and you see them dragging Joel's body, it's just... And then the music cutting out, too, for the no credits, the music in the credits is devastating. Yeah.

I'm leaning a little bit towards worse, just in the sense that it was just such a shock in the game. But it's also just unfair, because we're going into this knowing that already. We know too much. Yeah, we know too much. They've set it up a little bit differently. But I do like all the changes that they've made overall. So it's just different to me.

It's very different, because I really like the innovation of... the attack on Jackson and everything it does to change the tension of this whole part of the narrative in a way that makes it so exciting. But especially for people that have played the game already, it's changed the dynamic completely in a way that it makes this very fresh and exciting too.

Yeah. I will say, like, in a vacuum, what I did really love is just the performance of every actor involved, too, in a way that it's, like, it's so different seeing this happen in live action. Like, seeing Bella Ramsey's performance in this scene, like, they're so good in it with Caitlin Dever as well. And just the level of detail and care that's going to each one of these things.

Like, I love seeing the inside the episode things, the making of The Last of Us afterwards and just, like, The details of having to set up the prosthetics around Joel's face for this and just bringing in the crane shot for just that one bird's eye view of Ellie clutching onto Joel. All these little nuances that they did for live action, I think, are just awesome.

Yeah, it's definitely fair. I mean, especially just going back to the end of last season. The Fireflies just fumbled it so hard in so many possible ways. Not even just letting Joel and Ellie talk one last time. Right. I think that could have just changed everything because then he could have seen firsthand that Ellie... This is what Allie wants.

liked it a lot because i feel like it made the whole episode it would have already felt like a big event but it really really makes it feel like a big event with just the the scale of the production size and just the action itself obviously but the way that it just changes a lot of these dynamics in so many little and big ways i think is is really fun and it's going to be really cool to see moving forward as well like we already talked about how
