I'm not doing well... *The Last of Us* ~ Ep 3 & 4 Reaction 

This episode actually subverts the "bury your gays" trope, not embodying it. There is no suffering, no struggle, they aren't killed by someone, and they don't become infected. They die embracing their love exactly the way they want to. They have probably the happiest ending anyone in this show is ever going to get.

In the game, we never really see Frank, especially in his time with Bill. Bill remains a bitter, isolated person (he actually drives Frank away). Bill's life, in the game, is a cautionary tale for Joel. In the show, Bill becomes a "beacon" for Joel. Both help Joel get back on track, but the show's version is so much more, because of the alterations.

Not even ashamed to say that I still tear up even just watching reactions 😩 new to the channel, but glad we could share the emotions! ❤

Good to see you again!

They made a mistake with the window at end….their bedroom was on first floor now because frank couldnt get up the stairs, window is second floor.

what really gets me every time is that queer marriage wasn't legal pretty much anywhere in 2003, when the apocalypse happened

I'd like a spin-off where it's just interaction between Tess and Frank for 30 minutes. They had that hardened feminine woman + outgoing gay bestie dynamic

GIRL. "These gays, they're trying to murder me" clip from White Lotus was fucking perfect.

Episode 3 is honestly one of the best episodes of television I have ever seen, I was just far better then it had any right to be.

"i don't know who the bad person is" ooh, so you unintentionally hit the nail on the head with that one. that's kind of the point. it's the philosophy of most apocalypse stories - there are no heroes in this world. it's just people trying to survive and they get all wrapped up and consumed by their anger & grief and, no matter how much people may try to cling to the light, they end up becoming the monster that they're supposed to be fighting in the process and so they end up fighting each other.

I've had bated anticipation to your reaction of episode 3. The series was filmed in Alberta Canada.

lolllll "these gays they're trying to murder me!" perfect timing

"I don't know who the bad person is in this exchange." It's all shades of grey. No such thing as "bad guys" or "good guys".

the writers said that Frank had something neurodegenerative like parkinsons or ALS. Also if you go back and listen to Bill and Frank's song it becomes easier to understand why Bill was so mortified at Frank's butchering of it.

This show brought me to your channel because it’s a story I love so much, that I’m watching every reaction I can. Yours is a great reaction… I love how you pick up subtle things that most don’t. Overall, a great reaction. I’m digging the honest and artist-intended vibe you are recognizing. I can’t wait to watch more.

the hi gay and white lotus, oh my gosh thank you

i need a frank in my life - all could get is a susan - i made some poor choices

As I told my mom, Nick Offerman has made me laugh many times but I never thought he'd make me cry.

Kathleen's bearded Lieutenant, is played by Jeffrey Pierce, who did the voice and mo-cap for Tommy, in the games.

As others have said, I don't see it as a tragic story. It is life and this is what happily ever after actually looks like. Certainly in that world and it is a much better happily ever after than most of us get in this world.

My goodness I died laughing seeing Pedro pascal crying meme pop up out of nowhere lol

"don't worry, you aren't gonna die by his hand" T.T

This is only 3 in our 9 episode speed run of depression.

Alberta, Canada. They filmed there I think and several other city

The scene with the porn magazine in the car is basically ripped straight from the game, the exact same shots and the exact same dialogue.

Legendary acting

Idk how the hell u so quickly connected ellie saying it wasnt her first time to riley.

Love the parks n recs clips…must have been alot of work finding such relevant ones

Fr tho I can't believe how devastating the pit shot was

"So you are not much better" Yep, thats one of the thing in TLOUS, in the apocalipsis there are no good or bad people, there are survivors who make things to survive and people who is dead. Cruel?? definetly, but it is what is. Its an apocalipse after all

So the game has a group called hunters... Basically random bad guys that served only to be a filler... What the show has done quite fantastically is have the hunters be a real entity and Kathleen as a figurehead is just genius.... It's amazing they gave names and personality to what was generic nps's and it feels sooooooo much more realistic for it.

I've watched a lot of these reactions, and I think you're the only one to realize that was Frank's gun she found. Also Nick Offerman won an emmy for that episode.

Tanya with the ‘these gays are trying to murder me’ lmao

The series was filmed at a variety of locations in Alberta, Canada. On outbreak day, Joel and Sarah kept missing eating bascules, birthday cake... pancakes... every flour-based food that could hurt them. Nick Offerman and Murray Bartlett... swept in and made you believe in love again... The Nerve! But Joel and Ellie had to work to find their love - s-l-o-w-ly and cautiously and against the broken world they are struggling through. The road ahead will prove much. much, tougher than we wanted for these two. BTW, Kathleen is NOT 'nice.'

7 years ago this game inspired me to write a similar story (not in English). I even managed to write the second book already partially. But those were very old and not entirely successful ideas. Nevertheless... Reaction, as always, interesting)

2:20 most of the series was filmed in Alberta, Canada

After watching this entire season and again after the next season too, please come back and listen to the lyrics of the ending song of episode 4.

They actually avoided eating the cookies as well as pancakes, biscuits, and cake.

Episode 3 is the part where I think the show did better than the game. Of course except for the part where you get to hang out with Frank in the game.

believe me this show won't get any easier

Not him adjusting the plate 😭😭😂

Uh... are you Deborah Ann Woll

Bill and Frank it's a whole different ball game when you play the video game I don't want to spoil it but it's way different than what you see in the TV show Nick Offerman did a phenomenal job as Bill I was not expecting this much from it and I loved we got to see more time with Bill and Frank in the TV show compared to the game awesome masterpiece of aversion compared to the game! In the game for the gun for Ellie to get a gun she does it all the way through the game until she gets a gun from Joel it's a running kind of joke almost for some people cuz she always wants a gun just like the TV show version but a little different! Episode 4 insane was not expecting what it is! We're going to get a lot more Joel and Ellie in this episode and they're banter they're playing with words with each other annoying each other Ellie getting on Joel's nerves and here comes my favorite thing when Ellie brings out the pun book! There is a lot of humor in the game once you meet Ellie and Joel when they get these two characters together then you see some humor come forward!

Truly a masterpiece episode. Bill and frank deserved this... There's many incredible moments throughout tlou and a couple truly standout episode's but this one was the most spectacular... I'd class it as historical even ❤

The games were filmed in Alberta, Canada. Nerdy Nightly do reviews of LoU too, and they live nearby. They are like, "Oh, I used to go to that mall all the time before it closed." etc. It's interesting.

Something someone pointed out to me was that even tho she found tampons, she shouldnt use them bc they are 20 yrs old and the chemicals in them prob wont be safe now.

3:43 that's how a psychopath looks at things 😮😮😮

Beautiful storytelling

Awww great reaction.

I would love to make you believe in love again. 🌹

Late but the “it’s a boy!” Smash cut made me choke laugh 😂

It was all filmed in Alberta.

Rae, the small clip inserts on your videos are excellent. Hope you stay clear of spoilers because the show is doing the game justice, and you're in for a treat if they keep it up. Please make these weekly!

This reminder of Bill & Frank made me weepy all over again.

I love all the parks and rec references you added!!❤️

I *love* that you recognized that it was Frank's gone btw. Alsoooo 8:43 check the name on that piano song book, and then 20:34 :)

I love your clips between scenes.

Frank had MS.

HI GAY

Lovin the production of this vid. Glad I found it.

Fun fact: Adam Basil, the actor who played the Bloater in this Episode is 6'6 Foot Tall (1.95 cm), and the full Bloater suit weight is at least 80 Pounds (40 Kg).

It's so astonishing to me, that the creator literally give you the breadcrumbs and somehow still mess it up. Frank is younger healthier and stronger. By the creative team showcasing their run, tells us that. And somehow you think, frank is older 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ No obviously he has a disease 🤦‍♂️

When you said imagine being that touch starved, it just made me think of my own life.. Bill went at least what, 4 years without seeing/touching another person? He was a loner beforehand so ill put on another two years of no physical human contact just to be safe. I ended my streak about two years ago, but since then it's gone back to the way it was unfortunately.. and before two years ago I had gone 8 years without touching anyone.. Not so much as like hands touching when reaching for the same thing, or brushing against someone trying to move past them.. I can definitely say from experience how awful it feels. And because of what ended up happening two years ago, I'm at a point now where the thought of physical touch actually makes my skin crawl...
