Sixth and frightening episodes of season two Last of us We were given a complete episode dedicated to Joel and the impact on Ellie was both positive and negative. It was a powerhouse episode, with the best performance of the show by both leads. But this also continues to show the tendency to show things from the order relative to the game of season two, which makes me wonder where things are going.
I will start with that final comment. For those who never played US Part IIThis would probably seem surprising or irrelevant, but finally the view of the porch, where Ellie says that she cannot forgive Joel for Salt Lake City, but is open to try to forgive her, how does the game actually end. I think it also works better as an epilogue. After everything in the game (maintaining that spiler-free), to flashback, and to see that there was a slever of hope that Joel and Ellie could probably patch things hard at the end of the story. I think we now have the reason that this episode acts as a amalgamation of various flashbacks found in the game, focuses on Joel, and thus, I don’t think we will be watching Pedro Pascal again in the series, as they have finally sent him properly from the series.
Which is a shame, because Pascal crushed it this week. What exactly happened about her confession about Ellie, fearing in her eyes, knowing that she could lose her forever, and to say that she will do so again because of the love of a parent for a child for a child. I want to emphasize how much Pascal was able to express his eyes alone in that scene. Over the years, Joel is trying to please Ellie that he is trying to take care of her and when she enters her “rebel” teenage stage, she gets pushbacks. There is a lot of challenging and stress going on in these years, and you can see that Joel is trying to become a staunch father to fully understand his surrogate daughter (as he clearly said that he thinks that Jesse is in Ellie and is laughing so much that he is away from the base). We finally got to listen to Joel Future days, Whose name was Season two premiere.
After reaching Jackson, this episode covers a few years in Joel and Ellie’s life, in which each section covers Ellie’s birthday. The museum trip, like a game, incredibly Sparsh and Bella Ramsay brought back a spark in his acting, which was not actually seen in this season. She plays curious and namkeen Elli very well, somewhere between young curiosity and adult mentality. In short, she taps into the game version of the character really well in the first two years of flashback. Not only this, however, but you can tell that she jumps very well with Pascal.
This episode was directed and co-written by Neil Drukman, who has worked very handly this season, is probably likely to work. Intergactic: The Heritic Prophet. He co-written this episode and next week’s episode with co-showerer Craig Majin (who wrote every episode this season) and co-written with Heli gross, a producer and co-writer of the show. US Part II, So the team felt that this episode and finale need to be more than the team’s efforts. I am not sure Craig is more than a colleague, but this episode felt very strong, which we have seen in the case of writing this season.
While a lot was drawn from the Games, the writers excluded the world and back stories too well, mainly with us in the end what happened to Eugene, which was played by Pantoliano. Purted by one of the infected, he urges Joel to bring him back to Jackson so that he can say goodbye to Gayle, and to relax Ellie, he agrees, only to kill Eugene in a mercy. Ellie knew that Eugene’s probability had enough time to safely return it before the infection spread, while Joel was not going to take that opportunity. Like the Salt Lake City, Joel covered her dirty work for the sake of Gayle, only to feel how easy her track made her track and called Gayle out to tell her out that Joel shot her instead of bringing her back. It in a way removes its dynamic a little more that works for television, because the video game is less time relative to the story.
So it was a great episode of acting and writing, especially relative to the previous few, but I am a little effi even at the end of the episode, knowing where the story goes and thinks how it will stop now. This season has some strange options in the reorganization of the story in this season, and none of them have been for better, so I am eager but alert about the final end as a result. But let’s see how they do for closing next week.
