This episode hit so hard. I grew up with 2 gay uncles and my uncle's partner passed away when I was 12. When they pulled the plug off his life support, my mom and dad had to drag my uncle out of the room. I've never seen him so angry, heartbroken and defeated. He was depressed for about a decade until he met his now husband, who, funnily enough, he met at an AA meeting about 5 years ago. So when I saw Bill crying, I had to cry along with him. Haha.
Thanks for sharing. I started feeling more "normal" around the ten-year mark. Then COVID happened. A couple of years later, I met someone I really liked and it felt right. That didn't work out but it made me realize I could finally move on. Then my best friend died so I'm all angry/sad/depressed again. Well, life continues...
What makes this hit even harder is that in their timeline, gay marriage was never legalized yet. Bill having to grow up in rural Massachusetts with a most likely conservative religious support system if any, Frank showing up was the perfect type of fate for him to get to live his life authentically in a world he never thought he could.
Bill said to Frank, "I'm old. I'm satisfied. You were my purpose." What an awesome love story. Don't we all wish we could say the same about our significant other? A beautiful episode. The best TV I have ever seen.
So Freaking Emotional, Especially Seeing Frank Like That I Balled My Eyes Out 😭 Then Both Of Em Literally Gone Before Joel & Ellie Shows Up, I Cry Everytime I See Other People's Reaction To This Episode
It's all about Surviving vs Living. In the game Frank ends up leaving to see the world because he's too extroverted, gets infected, and hangs himself before turning. So Bill is a lot more bitter about the one person he trusted leaving him. Either way Bill serves to show Joel the difference between surviving, and living. Bill is a survival expert, but what does he know about living until he opens up? In the game he shows Joel how bad he can become if he doesn't trust people or open up, in the show he shows Joel how good it can become and what he could've had with Tess. So either way Joel starts to open up. That's the major theme in the Last of Us. Surviving vs Living.
The game implies that Bill and Frank had a toxic relationship and eventually Frank stole Bill's battery and tried to flee the town, but got bit and decided to kill himself. He even leaves Bill a letter saying how much he hates him. It's pretty depressing.
For the tampons, I firmly believe the box would've worn away a lot in 20 years and moisture would've made made the whole product unusable and moldy. But there's a lot of plastics in those, so it's just an educated guess
I just looked it up. They typically have a shelf life of about 5 years, but it depends a LOT on moisture. I don't know, I'd be nervous about a tampon's viability after a long period of time. Pads would be a lot safer, I suspect.
Very emotional episode, Another sad thing is that Annie Wersching,the voice actress of Tess on the game died yesterday of cancer at the age of 45. May she rest in peace 😔 Fun fact: this show was filmed in Alberta Canada
@@jacquelinedimattia774 You have a death announcement and a fun fact in the same comment, do you not? Try paying attention to other people's comments before you attack them.
That beautiful “10 miles west of Boston” shot in the intro was filmed in Canada. Folks who actually live in that part of Mass are all making with the jokes on Twitter.
This in depth back story of Bill and Frank were incredible I loved it so much way better than the game I think!! Loved both of their characters and cried basically the whole time!
I think they have so much wine is because Bill was already a collector.. also, that was a wine shop in their town. Because people keep mentioning about them having wine till the end.. I went to my local liquor store which had a wine section too. I counted the rows of wine by how deep and there were about seven hundred bottles of wine and it was just a liquor store.
Wow you guys nailed it with this reaction! I have never been so "shook" by a tv episode before (I have MS). When Frank asked about the traveling MRI salesperson I really lost it.
this episode had me baaaawling! I've thought about scenarios like these and imagined what would happen to my husband and I and this is pretty much how I would want to go out. On our own terms in each others arms. I don't know the game but from what I've read it is completely different. This version seems so much better and tragic in such a beautiful way.
Just really need to add that 10 miles from Boston does not look like that. On the road yes, we get the hills. Not a lot of mountains 10 miles from Boston
I’m actually disappointed you cut out so much of the tender intimate scenes between Bill & Frank, that was a let down as it was so powerful & beautiful.
I know John's seen GoT, but anyone else want to see these two watch GoT together, especially as Steve hasn't seen it yet? Their discussions would be entertaining.
what sucked is Joel and Ellie getting there after they died. i would have liked to see ellie and bill sparring and trading insults and frank bonding with ellie maybe and some more fighting against raiders
Don't hate me for saying this... but I'm low-key proud of of u both for successfully holding back the waterworks towards the end! :p But srsly, I really like watching sad-a55 tv ep's with y'all (just a li'l more than the other kinds hehe)... subdued but always in the moment. So yeah, just wanted to say that ^_^ LATERS, BOYZ!
Woah. That’s the opposite of what I want to see as a viewer. I watch reacts for the emotion. I want to see people cry at the things that made me cry.. otherwise, what’s the point? Plus, I’m not sure if you’re implying that men shouldn’t cry, but that’s how it sounds and I wholeheartedly disagree with that sentiment. Emotional intelligence and maturity includes allowing yourself to feel those things without concerning yourself over social appearances.
@@michellestone6584 ....yeah, you probably wouldn't. Just like you also "don't even know" me, my interactions with this channel, and what you're talking about in ur passive-aggressive reply that came outta nowhere. Believe it or not, some ppl can actually look at others w/o gender-tainted glasses. Most of us that decide to comment here at all really just appreciate these two boys. Hope I'm being clear now :) Or did any of that just go over your head too?
