New Fear Unlocked: Clowns... The Last of Us Episode 7 "Left Behind" Reaction | First Time Watching 

The whole time I was watching I was like "they are adorable," while at the same time my body was tense cause they don't let us have nice things.

I think the idea behind the ending is to do the most with whatever time you have with the people who matter to you. If she left, she would never see Joel alive again. The lesson Riley imparted is, STAY. Whether Joel lives another two hours or two days, this time together matters more than anything else. And of course here there is actually a small chance he might make it with your help. In the last episode and now this: neither Joel nor Ellie is capable of giving up on the other ❤ My love for this show cannot be overstated.

Yeah, it's implied that Ellie had to kill Riley when she turned but Ellie didn't. In episode 4 after shooting that guy in the back, Ellie tells Joel it wasn't her first time, and that she didn't want to talk about it. Glad they didn't show that, in the game or in the show.

An actual thing these sadistic writers said on this Ep's after-show Podcast: *"We give our characters the things they want the most, and then punish them for getting them"* 😭

This show is always a gut punch 👊..everytime

Love the cold intro. "Alright. How are we getting our feelings hurt today?" And start the episode. No Hello. No welcome to my channel. No recap. Nothing. 😄

I have nothing but respect for Ellie she's a soldier and very loyal. This was in the video game poor Riley didn't deserve that fate so young she's just 14.

This episode was almost a one for one match for the game's DLC which was also called Left Behind. Although in the game Ellie took refuge in a mall in Colorado. She looks for medical supplies and eventually finds a full medical kit in a helicopter that had crashed into the mall years before. The story skips back and forth between her looking for a way to save Joel and her night with Riley. Eventually more of those guys they fought at the university show up and you can throw bottles to alert infected so they kill each other

Love crying with you on Mondays

@0:39, I'm sure you realized while editing, but Joel's asking her to leave him there to die and get back to Tommy where he thinks she'd be safe. Also, they toned it down for the show, but the mall section is far more intense in the game. Instead of one infected runner, there was a veritable horde. But it makes sense that they'd cut it back to just 1 here, since-as Tess put it-"you're not immune to being ripped apart."

"Dont go" "Okay" Litetally 3 words have never broken me so profoundly 💔😭❤

Spoilers for the last of us 2 Anyone else love how they played take on me? Really cool reference.

I loved the lullaby version of the Cure- Just Like Heaven. The song from the Carousel. This is one of my favorite love songs. the actual meaning was falling so deep in love with someone you are hyperventilating kissing and fainting to the floor. Running away together just like Ellie and Riley’s relationship. (Also is an 80s song so =trouble)

I think the message at the end of the episode was not "don't give up" but rather "Do not give up whatever moments of time you have left, be they minutes, hours, days, years. Cling onto those moments for as long as you can." Its not a message about how you should assume things will work out, its a message about no matter how little time you have left hold onto those moments with everything you have. At least that's how I view it anyways. Thank you for reacting to this show, I really enjoy your perspective and hearing your thoughts!

You open with "Alright, how are we getting our feelings hurt today?" TLOU: "Well, we have an entire menu prepared..." "should we have taken that thing out?" Probably not the best decision, but it was Joel's decision in the moment, and I don't know how much additional internal bleeding an tissue damage a "broken off bat handle" would do in the abdominal region while on horseback. It would have slowed the blood loss externally, but if shifting around caused it to greatly increase internal bleeding. Blood doesn't have to leave the body to be problematic, if it's draining inside the body it's really of no more use than blood leaving the body. 0:30-0:45 Joel isn't telling her to go get Tommy to help him, he's telling her to take the gun and the horse, ride back to Tommy, Tommy will take care of her. (As Bill was telling Frank in Ep3 after he'd been shot "You can't be here alone" "Call Joel, he'll take care of you." Bill didn't think he would survive, Frank didn't stop trying to save him.) Joel believes there to be no chance he lives, he want Ellie to take the horse, take the gun, head back to safety. (which honestly I don't know how long it would take her to find the place again. She's been there once, it's 5+ days, once you find the right spot to go away from the highway, you just have a general direction and no real navigation experience. I mean if you're off by 1 degree you're off by about 92 feet , 10 miles about 920, 100 miles, about 9,200 feet (with 5,280 feet per mile, it's basically 2 miles off per degree.) There's no guarantee she would even see the place at over 2 miles distance, so unless she knows multipl large landmarks to figure out where it is from all she can see, she could miss the place, then have to guess "am I upriver or downriver?" travel a day or two, turn around and travel 3-4 days It could be over 2 weeks for her to find her way back. That's assuming she even knows the way 'kind of' "Why isn't it sealed off?" Well, what she meant by this is "if it's full of infected, why is it all they did is put up signs?" 8:29-8:37 I don't know why so many reactors think when the carousel stops it's some ominous bad thing. As a rule automated rides tend to be configured that they only run a specific amount of time, an operator at the panel can "stop" the ride in an emergency or "reset the timer" so if they had someone at the control panel, it could be kept running for several hours. The default setting is "however long the owner designated for 1 ride" for a carousel, typically 3-5 minutes, but I've seen a couple that were set to 10 minutes. The automated shutoff is there so the operator doesn't have to time each ride, the stop is in case there is an emergency (someone fell and we need to get them off the carousel for attention) I felt Riley knew she was leaving Boston, but would stay if Ellie asked her to, if she felt as Riley did. So Riley set this whole "date night" up to either spend one last night making memories with her best friend who doesn't share he feelings, and say goodbye, so at least she'd know and they'd both have said goodbye, or spend this one night learning if Ellie felt the same way about her. There are hints all over if you watch for them. I can only think Riley had to think, when they are both bitten, "If I didn't need to know, and give us closure, I wouldn't have gotten her killed." And Ellie had to come out of this with the pain of discovering what she and Riley had could have been real, only to lose Riley. [Keep in mind, Ellie's bite is 3 weeks old when she meets Joel and Tess, this has been on very painful 4 months for Ellie to now be trying to save Joel from bleeding out, when he just insisted she leave him. Back in Ep 1 Marlene asks Ellie, "Was Riley a terrorist?" In Episode 1, those who knew who Riley was, knew, to those who didn't know, it was clear the name must mean something to Ellie.

A very cute detail I liked (i think it was intentional) is that all the lights were shades of orange and pink which are the colors of the lesbian pride flag, I also liked how they brought back SO much from the game and my favorite line "we could be all poetic and lose our minds together"

As soon as I knew WHERE THIS WAS GOING. I KNEW BOTY OF THEM WILL BE BITTEN AND I WAS JUST HIDING UNDER THE BLANKET

I have played the game, but it didn't make it less heartbreaking...and yeah, the whole time I was anxious waiting for the infected to attack. 😅

I don’t blame Joel for taking out that thing he got stabbed with. I mean, it’s impossible to mount a horse with that thing still in - might hit vital organs.

I Whenever I watch to episodes now, I cant help but think " Nia is going to cry on this part"

Not even playin in the into, just straight to depression 😩😩 we’re all there though 😂😂

I love watching your reactions so much ❤️ I always check your channel the first thing after I watch the episode

Is it wrong I go to your reactions to enjoy you get emotionally distraught each week 😂

I love the realness of your reactions.

15:15 the gift is the pun book

Knowing the outcome (from a spoiler) but not knowing how it happens made this episode the most tense for me

This show is just too good

Hi Nia! I'm curious: As someone who hasn't played the games, what are your predictions for the end of season 1?

00:36 NEVER EVER take out a dagger or object that has stabbed you. All you will do is do more damage to yourself as it comes out, and the bleeding will worsen. A lodged dagger slows the bleeding down. Always get medical help. They can take that object/knife out properly, and simultaneously stop the bleeding.

I feel like all of us going through this entire episode were just expecting and anticipating a jump scare to happen like literally the entire time and what’s funny is it never happened not even the zombie at the end was a jump scare he just walked in😂😂😂😂😂

I am still wondering if we later find out that unfortunately, Riley was Ellie's first kill when she turned and Ellie didn't turn. More Tears yet to be shed😭 Oh, and I was almost waiting for Ellie to tell Joel, "You're not getting rid of me that easy! I might be just cargo to you, but you're the closest thing to family I've got left!!!"

Your feelings are in good hands so don't worry too much. Hopefully this show will help you build an immunity to being heartbroken when it ends like Ellie to the Cordyceps. JAJAJA

this was my favoret Episode so far and my friends hated it, and that broke my heart

Hello tears my old friend...lol

Really? That didn't rip your heart out?

I played through the game once. I never came back to it for reasons I'll probably explain in the comments of the next episode. But my playthrough did include the DLC. What I didn't know was if the show would include the DLC or not. I was so happy when it jumped back to Ellie's past and I realized they were going to do Ellie and Riley's date. What can I say? Even knowing how it was going to end, I wanted to see how cute the show's version of the two would be together. I can't help it. As a queer girl I always have to support the LGBTQ+ relationship representation! It's like... in the gay rulebook. 🏳‍🌈😎 Now, on to the next trauma.

Last of us?! More like This Is Us mushroom zombie edition

Hello beautiful Nia

Fun fact, in the game Joel remained unconcious during this entire time until much later on

Would you call me? Or do you have a cash app? I'd be willing to pay to ask questions on reaction videos. I can't for the life of my figure out what I need and how to do it and have no clue where to look. Let me know. And thank you.
