UNEXPECTED UGLY CRYING! | HBO’s The Last of Us Episode 3 REACTION!! ‘Long Long Time’ 

I loved this episode so much, I wasn't expecting them to deviate from the game's plot so much but I'm glad they did. Also, RIP Annie Wersching, she was the actress who portrayed Tess in the game. She passed away at 45 from cancer just a couple days ago :(

I actually loved this more than I thought I would compared to the last one. Such great acting.

Yes, Joel knew about Frank's illness. He told Ellie in Ep 1 that it had been a year since they left Boston QZ. Joel and Tess are likely the source of Frank's meds. And Joel knew to check the bedroom at the end of the hallway on the main floor rather than the upstairs bedroom. So Frank had been ill with some kind of neurodegenerative disease for over a year at the least, and probably more. With him needing a wheelchair, they had moved to the bedroom down to the main floor. It's a bittersweet end from our viewpoint, but not for Bill and Frank. They had shared a relatively good life (infrequent raider attacks and all). Practical Bill was watering the mums and planting flowers in the square knowing this is important to Frank who could no longer do these things himself. Frank filled the emptiness in Bill's life that was there even before the apocalypse. It was probably the first time Bill felt accepted fully as a whole person. So many small details that service Bill and Frank's story, and visibly develops Joel and Ellie's relationship and propels their journey. With so much loss, it was good to see Joel allow himself a real smile in the truck after Ellie tells him, "Meh. It's better than nothing" while Bill and Frank's song was playing. Parting thought: Bill in the game is an angry, self-loathing man. His imparted advice to Joel in the game gets a resounding response through Bill's letter to Joel in the show. Masterful storytelling by Craig Mazin, beautiful direction by Peter Hoar, and incredible performances by Nick Offerman and Murray Buttler.

I love the small details in this. One of my favorites is the way Ellie ignores Joel's instruction to "stay here" or "hang back" until he walks out of Bill and Frank's house with Bill's letter. That she understands enough to know this is a moment to just listen--or at least to let him be alone--says so much about her and their relationship. So glad to see your reaction. It's one I've been waiting for. If there wasn't a copyright claim for "Long, Long Time" there probably would be for "On the Nature of Daylight." That track over the final day montage was just as powerful here as it was in Arrival or The Handmaid's Tale or The Leftovers (I know it's been used elsewhere, but those are the places I've heard it).

That song used was called On The Nature of Daylight by Max Richter

one of the best episodes I've ever seen in my life on a tv series

I loved seeing Bill & Frank's back story. Thank god I've been watching each episode several times cuz I kinda distracted myself with this episode thinking, 'I can't wait for Ellie to meet Bill.' But by the time it came Frank's last day and I couldn't see it ending any other way....and this deviation was so worth it. Such a beautiful love story. And Bill & Ellie are always there in the game. Loving the nods to the game at the end. Ellie & Joel in their game t-shirt & shirt, even the truck was the same colours. And the way Ellie read Bill's hehehehehehe made me laugh so hard. Really glad they're gonna dedicate this episode to *Annie Wersching* 💔 RiP Badass. Great episode guys.

The song that was playing was the one that came on the radio when they left Boston. Bill telling them there was trouble. A beautiful episode.

What a great episode! This hit me on so many levels since I lost my mother to Parkinson’s recently and man did she love Ronstadt. As for the changes from the game, someone made a good point that in the game Bill emphasizes hopelessness to Joel, to avoid attachments because they make you weak. Here in the show it’s the opposite with Bill finding his purpose in his attachment in Frank. Beautiful change and makes tons of sense with the impact this could have on Joel’s motivations going forward.

I loved the changes they did! I kept wanting to not like Frank especially if he was going to hurt Bill by leaving him. We needed this version!

If there isn't a single Emmy nomination or whatever, then something's absolutely wrong, the performances, directing, writing, EVERYTHING has been incredible, HBO just continue to deliver! All this is absolutely masterful television for sure. This is easily one of the absolute greatest episodes of TV I've ever seen, absolutely nailed it at all.

I'm assuming Frank had MS. I do, so the traveling MRI salesman line made sense. And the weakness in his hands also. And I'm old enough to remember the last episode of "M*A*S*H", which at the time was supposed to be the greatest episode of TV ever. This single handedly surpassed it.

Stones stacked on top of each other are an archaic form of signposts, but are still erected worldwide today. The marking is intended to facilitate orientation, especially in impassable and unclear terrain - such as mountains, high mountains, steppes and deserts. Cairns are common in all populated areas of the world. The funny thing is in Texas, stacking stones on top of each other is prohibited by law. The parallel to the infected is Frank here in this episode. The head is clear, but his Multiple Sclerosis or ALS (probably) has control over his body. The infected are aware of their actions, at least in the first stage. In the game, they even cry. They also cry while they are eating someone. And through this episode we also know that Tess and Joel have known each other for more than 13 years and that they were still "decent" people 7 years after the outbreak. Tess told Ellie that they weren't good people and just before her death she told Joel to do all the shit they did right. The distance to Wyoming has to be bridged. So there will be more of these stories like Bill and Frank's.

I wish we could've seen a Nick vs Bella showdown, I think it would've been epic. However, since they decided against it, this was amazing. I didn't learn my lesson playing the two games. GOD DAMMIT, THE LAST OF US! YOU TOOK MY HEART, YOU RIPPED MY SOUL, AND NOW YOU ARE DESTROYING THE LAST OF ME

Just a brilliant episode!! Just brilliant. The deviations from the game have been perfect in my opinion. And Nick & Murray are spectacular! I believe they both should get Emmy's & Golden Globes next year. So good! Can't wait for episode 4! Hopefully you're loving this as much as I am.

Bill and Frank was a love story i never knew i needed in my life.. omg it was soo goood 😭😭

Havent cried in years till i seen this episode

I didn’t realize that was the giraffe music. You’re the first I’ve seen that pointed it out

A 16 year love story in like 40 minutes, and I feel fulfilled. It was so damned good.

Oh Kranky Kaz has gone mad she's started singing to the HBO theme

5:01 I know exactly what you’re thinking and you’re right 😢 Revenge. Look at that anger

I've been watching Episode three reactions for an age. Honestly guys, you two are my favourite and it's because you're gamers. I've seen too many gamers in the comments really going for it with the "She's a bad choice for Ellie" and "Ep 3 is too different to the game". I loved it and my ugly crying was snotty and everything. I've been gagging to play the game again since the series but I broke my arm just before Christmas and it's still not working properly. You two get to do it again. I'm so jealous.

The episode is about the main theme of The Last of Us. Surviving vs Living. Bill taught Frank how to survive, and Frank taught Bill how to live.s That argument in the street is where the game Bill and the show Bill's timeline diverge. In the game Bill says absolutely not, Frank starts resenting him because he’s an extrovert. Eventually Frank leaves, gets bitten, hangs himself to not turn. And leaves an angry letter to Bill, to which Bill swallows his tears and feelings and goes, “Well then fuck you too”. Bill will die bitter and angry having never lived at all. In the show Bill compromised a bit, and let Frank love him how he wanted to love him. Let him make a friend, Tess and Joel. Spruce up the neighborhood. Frank in turn compromised and settled for just that. It’s still an apocalypse, he can’t invite too many people or do too much. So they both died satisfied, in each other’s arms, after a full life. In either case their plot purpose is to teach Joel that surviving isn’t enough. In the game Bill shows Joel how bad and purposeless his life can be if he doesn’t open up. In the show Bill shows Joel how good it can be if he opens up. Bill lets the "danger" song play so that Joel and Tess would come, and get all the weapons and things they needed to have a happy ending like he did. If you read the rest of the letter Bill tells Joel which wine to use in order for Joel to woo Tess and start doing more than just surviving. But it's too late for Tess. Joel reads the letter and realizes that Frank died happy. And Tess died never having that chance. He looks at the key in his hand, and he could part ways with Ellie, but now Tess told him to save who he could save. Bill told him to protect others are what they're for. And he decides to open up a bit, the first time since the time stuck on his broken watch. Both Bill and Franks from the game and show are sides of the same coin. The bad ending. And the good ending.

Bill & Frank are a love story for the ages

I luv u guys both, and i hope your channel will grow massively coz you guys give an honest reaction and i can tell that you play the video game coz u know some details unlike another youtubers☺️☺️. Keep up the good work! Will seeing you both more often for this.

I think you may remember it slightly wrong. Ellie stole a comic from Bill's place, not a p**n magazine. She found that one in the truck, just like she does in the next episode. 😊 I'm pretty late on your videos, but loving the reaction. 👍

Yeah nobody expected that... One of the best episodes in a show, in TV history right here.

SPOILERS FOR THIS EPISODE AND GAME BELOW: As a huge TLOU fan who loves both the games. As a gay guy myself this episode was so beautiful and amazing I loved it so much Oh Bill and Frank❤😭🌈 Also yeah I'm sure some might be disappointed that Bill and Ellie didn't have there famous banter back and forth. But this is another version of Bill's story for TV, and it was so masterfully done I'm fine with it. Plus I will always have the games version for that as well. Also the end result was still the same in the game you get a battery truck and supplies that set's Joel and Ellie on there way, and in the show you get a battery truck and supplies that set's Joel and Ellie on there way so the end result is still the same. But I do wonder something since Bill died in the show is that Naughty Dog saying we will never see Bill again in a future TLOU game? because of course he didn't die in the game he lived. But amazing episode bravo!! it destroyed me I cried LOL🥰 Also yes in the game Frank was bitten in the process of trying to get the battery and wanting to leave. And then he hangs himself, and we come across his body later in the house. Also another amazing moment that was also in the show and in the game as well was Ellie finding the arcade game machine and her playfully pretending to play it. In the show in the convenience store she finds what looks like a Mortal Kombat arcade game. Now in the game it was a totally different arcade game it was called The Turning and the character was called Angel Knifes which we find out more about in the Left Behind DLC. And I look forward to the episode coming later about Riley and the stuff that happened in Left Behind. Anyways, sorry I'm rambling LOL. But love the video and reaction you both are awesome as always🤗

I also missed the verbal sparring that Bill and Ellie might have had, but the differences I noticed most were that Joel did not pick up a bow (that and a knife are on the list of things I'd think he'd want, especially on a long trip) and there was no bloater encounter. In addition, Joel did not gain trust in Ellie as he did in the game while in Bill's town when she opened doors for him and helped him get out of a trap. Ellie picking up a gun earlier and in secret could be very interesting. I am enjoying the show immensely, though it isn't hitting me emotionally as much as it seemingly is for so many others. Not a complaint, just an observation.

She said it. Just. Fucking. Lovely.

This episode was perfecto and it told the story that the game simply couldn't.. that said as a huge game fan i felt this was so natural and authentic..theres clues in the game.. to execute it tho was special.. this show has threw up tons of epic scenes and episodes and individual performances but this entire episode was a watershed in terms of themes execution and authenticity 🎉

26:07 "...i'm too romantic for this sh*t." 😄❤

lmfao "It's the giraffe music" is exactly what I said too

This episode was amazing

It's most likely Neuro hence the MRI. I would guess ALS and people with ALS have short life expectancy and it'll be really shitty as it progresses. My buddies dad had ALS and in two years he went from skiing to completely paralyzed.

Y’all are super cute ❤ thanks for sharing your reaction!

Thank you!! Glad to have found you guys!

Love you guys! ❤️

I haven’t played the game yet since I haven’t owned a PlayStation. But I’m going to be getting it when they release the PC version in March. But wow Bill and Frank’s story in this episode was beautiful

What I’m been doing now as of late is watch the new episode and then check out the podcast that comes with it, then when ur reaction vid comes out I watch that as well.

Have watched this episode 3 times and I still cry lol

Joel wasn't sure how he felt about Tess during that time

Amazing reactions!!!

After watching that damn episode, I'll never look at strawberry the same again 😭😭

Granny was fed biscuits or as the Brits call it, scones

Great vid. Cheers

You two are great. Great reaction.

loved this episode omg 🥲

The scene where Bill is shot and he thinks he's gonna die, his first thoughts are about taking care of Frank, hence him telling Frank to call Joel. It's poignant because he sees Joel as he sees himself: a Protector. It becomes even more so in the letter he writes to Joel, which makes Joel realize that his purpose is to protect Ellie.

Not sure I'd get *too* far ahead of ourselves there.. Not sure 'bout things there in the UK, but when the pandemic started (covid), all the first people to get exasperated and nuts here in the US were all the right-wingers, who everyone'd long thought were supposed to be all the big preppers. Whining and bitching about NEEDING to go to school, go to work, get a haircut, buy groceries, go to the bar, every stupid thing that would put them into contact with other humans, otherwise they were going to "go crazy". Like hey, we thought you were the ones with all the gas masks and years' worth of supplies of food in pantries an' everything. An' nobody'd gotten tested because there weren't tests, for months. Our conservative voters were freakishly anti-vaccine, but there was a surprising amount of equally anti-vaxx sentiment from our political left, though many of them were already anti-vaccines in general long before the covid pandemic. But yeah.. turned out all our supposed preppers (conservatives and libertarians) were the least willing to lockdown at all. A shocking proportion of them are still convinced covid was the biggest hoax perpetrated (on them) by the "liberal elite".

the rock pile was most likely marker for Tess why was Ellie sadistic to the infected in the basement? she saw no reaction, but seemed crazy happy to put her metal into it why was Ellie being mean saying it wasn't her fault Tess ended? it wasn't her fault of course, but she was being a jerk about it, imo does this mean Joel doesn't know how to make the 'can with nails and other stuff that you throw under clickers and they cease being'? (don't know if can use the words)

I for one never did it. I do not know what the point was unless it was part social experiment? Obama's chief of staff Rahm Emmanuelle once said never let a good disaster go to waste.

as close to perfect as an hour of television can get.
