The Last of Us (S2:E1) - Full Reaction
Added 2025-04-14 21:59:43 +0000 UTCHere we go S2! I’m excited for this season because I thought S1 was so incredible, but I'm dreading the conflict and heartbreak that I can feel coming... We are going to try and do this one reaction at a time thing with quick turnaround the day after and see how it goes!
PS: Full schedule/update coming soon!

Episode 2 is one of the most singular intense TV episodes I have ever seen
Bill Maurer
2025-04-21 04:14:44 +0000 UTCGood comment. She's 19, so she's nearly past her teen years.

2025-04-19 19:13:12 +0000 UTCInteresting start to season 2. Ellie is a teenager and thinks she needs no one and can do it all herself and she thinks she is invincible. Joel just needs to let her be and wait for her grow up and realize she can't do it all and does need help sometimes and that is okay. Good reaction Cassie. I was surprised how fast you got this out. Good job.

2025-04-19 01:17:20 +0000 UTCI like Bella Ramsey in roles I’ve seen her in, but she’s not believable as a bad-ass tough girl. Bad-ass attitude - yes. But physically overpowering people? She’s tiny. That opening - pulling his punches or not- was laughable.

2025-04-17 16:41:18 +0000 UTCThe Greater Good :D, I personally really enjoyed the second game so am interested in how it will translate to the show. Always difficult dodging spoilers for a show as popular as this so hopefully those of us on here and especially youtube (more lawless i'd say) keep quiet.

2025-04-15 22:26:22 +0000 UTCI'm not sold on the whole therapy thing they added - Joel in the game would've cut off his own arm before doing something like that. I like Catherine O'Hara but they seemed to change a lot more just in this first episode that the entirety of season 1.

2025-04-15 18:10:05 +0000 UTCI think you have the correct read on her sir
Cole Jennett
2025-04-15 12:49:35 +0000 UTCI can't imagine Cassie playing the games? She hasn't played the games right? She doesn't come across as a gamer at all.

2025-04-15 08:20:55 +0000 UTCThis will be a show.

2025-04-15 07:46:13 +0000 UTCCouldn't if I wanted to. Something about killer rabies mushrooms? Or something? Ron Swanson looking sad?
Chris Thom
2025-04-15 03:24:02 +0000 UTCI really enjoyed this so much. I really only know of characters and some major plot points to this pt 2/season, so excited to see a new story. Thank you to Cassie, Husband, and the crew for getting this out so quick. AND SO HELP ME, IF ANYONE SPOILS ANYTHING!!😂

2025-04-15 02:32:14 +0000 UTCI only played the first video game, season 1 basically. But the game mechanics had a lot of: A) throwing things to make distractions. B) Getting split up and you had to find your way back to the other character.

2025-04-15 02:16:21 +0000 UTCWell part of them pushing to try it is desperation. Its a troupe in apocalyptic stories where after awhile they get desperate to get a cure or some relief.
David Freese
2025-04-15 02:00:08 +0000 UTCDan, I think you will like S1. Make sure to watch her reactions along with the S1 episodes.
Clay F
2025-04-15 01:57:23 +0000 UTCI completely agree with what Joel did to save Ellie in the S1 final episode. I feel for the multiple people who were killed, but they were either responsible or in the way. Some two-bit doctor/researcher likely having no clue about some hypothetical vaccine (or its efficacy) and saying that Ellie needed to die would not have been enough for me. While there may have been some premise from the game for potential sucess for the vaccine, that seems so out there and unbelievable.
Clay F
2025-04-15 01:55:38 +0000 UTCDoh!! I’m only on episode 3 of season 1! I’ve got some catching up to do. I may be The Last of Us to see this reaction… 🎶 bah da bum 🎶

2025-04-15 01:41:21 +0000 UTCLate last night, I watched the first 15 minutes of S2E1. Now, I just watched the full episode along with your reaction. My son loved the game but I never played and know nothing about the game. Dina is cute. "I don't need your f*cking help." While Ellie seems less likeable, I feel for her. Everything that she has experienced. I have empathy for her. Joel should do an even better job of giving her room -- her independence. Ellie may regret being stand offish toward Joel if Joel is killed. While Joel (her adoptive parent) can have his quirks, he is a great resource. Ellie may be more receptive in a couple of years. Kids age 15-20 often prefer to spend time away from their parents. Natural evolution to gain/learn independence. But can return at say 22+.
Clay F
2025-04-15 01:33:06 +0000 UTCI know its considered part of the genre but the creatures in the game and the show are not zombies. They don't reanimate after death like Walking Dead, the fungi just take over the hosts body so it can spread and the host dies eventually. Just my 2 cents on the difference. Loved the reaction and hopefully they stick to the game a little more moving forward. 👍👍

Chris Retzlaff
2025-04-15 01:09:24 +0000 UTCWithout any spoilers, I can already say that there are more differences in this episode compared to the game than there were in most of season 1 entirely. Nothing absolutely major so far, but enough differences especially in timeline and order of events that I’m sure interested to see how much they change.

2025-04-15 00:39:08 +0000 UTCSweeeeeeeeeeet...
Steve Mercier
2025-04-15 00:22:42 +0000 UTCI was hoping for this as I wanted to wait to watch with you. Off to a good start but tough to see our pair a bit at odds. Worst part is the waiting now.
Canadianant
2025-04-15 00:01:21 +0000 UTCGlad that Cassie (and many other reactors) are doing this a lot earlier to get responses while the story is fresh in viewers mind. I personally played both games too many times to count and still going back to play EVERYTIME Sony / Naughty Dog put out a new version of remake, remaster, a port, now "complete" or whatever. Pretty much memorized all cutscenes permanently. The adjustments for TV is actually quite refreshing but storyline definitely won't change based on this first episode of season 2.
Tech Citizen
2025-04-14 23:56:11 +0000 UTCSeason 2 just started right? Or has it been out for a while?
Chris Thom
2025-04-14 23:24:02 +0000 UTCDid the first season stick closely to the story in the game?
Chris Thom
2025-04-14 23:23:09 +0000 UTCMy son loved the game.
Clay F
2025-04-14 23:19:57 +0000 UTCI genuinely feel bad for everyone that experiences this story for the first time as a tv show and not the game.

2025-04-14 22:57:14 +0000 UTCWow, another reaction! You are a machine Cassie, I can’t keep up! 😅
Mark White
2025-04-14 22:39:11 +0000 UTCVery nice surprise, I’m actually going to rewatch S1 first and by then should be 3 or 4 episodes in.
Dean Holt
2025-04-14 22:34:36 +0000 UTCBacking up The Passion with The Last of Us...Impressive.
Samuel Champ
2025-04-14 22:30:41 +0000 UTCI'll wait until the season ist complete. And as someone who played the Games I know already whats coming.
The Sheeple
2025-04-14 22:30:32 +0000 UTCIt's not as good as a lot of people make it out to believe. It had some really nice moments last season and I am a huge fan of Kaitlyn Dever and will watch it mainly for her
Bill Maurer
2025-04-14 22:16:58 +0000 UTCUnpopular opinion here: I dislike this show. I would list my reasons but while I don't like it I wouldn't want to spoil anything for anyone. Y'all enjoy it!

2025-04-14 22:12:41 +0000 UTCNice suprise!

2025-04-14 22:09:50 +0000 UTCthanks Cassie !!!
Bill Maurer
2025-04-14 22:08:58 +0000 UTCYou go Cassie. Kicking at these reactions. You are the greatest.
Rick Williams
2025-04-14 22:08:08 +0000 UTCWHATTT!! LETS go!! I'll watch it a fourth time!
