The Last of Us - S1: Episodes 8 - 9 (Finale) Reaction 

From what I've heard, the woman who plays Ellie's mom in the beginning is actually the one who did the voice for Ellie in the game. Your wife might be remembering her from her days as a child actor on Growing Pains as Chrissy Seaver. Also, if I'm remembering correctly, the guy that was Kathleen's right-hand man, was the voice actor for Tommy* in the game.

That last mission is the game is probably the most badass shooting action I've ever played clearing all those guys out in the hospital. The show only shows a glimpse of what it was like.

17:34 buddy boy is the legendary voice actor who played Jeol in the game. Anna, Ellie’s mom another legendary voice actress who played Ellie. Idk if anyone mentioned before Jeffrey Pierce played tommy and Marlene in the show actually played Marlene in the game.

That hospital scene is honestly one of the greatest scenes in tv history imo..it had such gravitas and an odd poetry... Powerful stuff.

Cameo's by the original video game actors: Marlene (game and show) was played by Merle Dandritch Perry, played by Jeffrey Pierce is Tommy in the games James, played by Troy Baker is Joel in the games Anna, played by Ashley Johnson is Ellie in the games Nurse #2 (game and show) played by Laura Bailey (She also plays a pivotal character in video game Part 2, but won't say for spoilers)

lol yes they’re showing she’s dissociating - the flashback isn’t related 😭

💀 and yes the surgery was one and done.”~ it would’ve killed her 😭😭

Joel is an absolute force of nature ❤

I think Marlene has been keeping tabs on Ellie from afar throughout Ellie's life. Remember, in the first episode, she knew who Ellie was despite Ellie giving them a fake name. She told Ellie that she was the one who put her with FEDRA to keep her safe. She was also the one who recruited Riley into the Fireflies, but would not let Riley involve Ellie with the dangerous life of the Fireflies. Riley asked Marlene to let Ellie come with her to Atlanta and join the Fireflies, but Marlene wouldn't let her. Marlene has been doing what she can to do what's best for Ellie. She even put her with her enemy, FEDRA, because she would be safe there.

“they didn’t cover her ears” we know who hasn’t shot a gun in close quarters 😂

What an incredible season of tv man ❤ am drained...agaaaain 😂

July 4th? Dude, why wait so long to bring this to YT? LOL

Now yall should react to the games version of the story. While we wait 2 years for season 2 of the show

38:15 in the first episode, when Ellie and Marlene are talking and Ellie asks "are you my fucking mom?", Marlene tells Ellie that she's the one who put her in Fedra's care.

In episode 6, Maria said, “The only people that can betray us are the ones we trust.” That was foreshadowing for Joel betraying Ellie’s trust and humanity’s last hope.

lmaoo she definitely would’ve been in debt. joel is a smuggler who sees elle as a “DAUGHTER HE COULDVE HAD”😂 selfishness got in the way and he will regret & pay for it sadly

I don't agree that everybody they met has been messed up. Bill and Frank were Ok, Tommy's group were ok (if you didn't try them), and even Kathleen's group. The KC Fedra had been r*ping, t*rturing and k*lling people for 20 years, so they simply fought back. As for Kathleen's obsession with Henry... don't you think Joel would be just as bad if he got to Wyoming and learned that his brother had been tortured and killed? Just look at what he did to the guys that took Ellie? So no, I am sorry, but I 100% don't agree with the statement about Kathleen. (Please don't read this comment thinking I am being aggressive, I know this is the internet and everybody is always being mean to one another, but I was just stating my opinion, with respect :) )

Joël is the real vilain

Buddy Boy James, actor Troy Baker was joel in the game. Ellie's mom Ana, actress Ashley Johnson, was Ellie in the game Perry was Tommy in the game And Marlene still Marlene in the game More than that? I don't know Katherine O. wouldn't she be Ellie's greatgramma? I am glad you realized David wasn't a good person when he was talking to James the first time, about losing faith. Most reactors are clueless, that's scary to me.

I like her (the girlfriend. In general, these recent reactors, most, are more perceptive people. Most of the others, not all, but most, are clueless. However, surprisingly in most cases too, the youngest, get it sooner🤔and most of them don't care about voting, we are screwed) She, the girlfriend is mature, except when she uses the word zombie, no zombies here, I hate them, but no biggie. They (Ellie and friend) were not in love, they had feelings for each other, exactly. Reminded me a movie, the old man tell to his grandaughter " yes, love is complicated" and grandma says "Edgar, she is not saying love, she is talking about having sex with her boyfriend" :) And then i was thinking too "my 14 year old is not deciding anything until she or he is 18 at least" 😄 I don't know why adults always say, "She can decide, she can decide". I am, what? she knows nothing about life, Marlene was brainwashing her, and she was almost raped. And David he was being a dick right ? thank you, he was being condescending with Ellie, no one gets that. The boyfriend is perceptive too, I mention this because takes so long to most to realize David's intentions, that's scary. Most also say "In an apocalypse, i wouldn't survive" . Yes I believe that.
