The Last of Us Season 2, Episode 2 Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Analysis, & Spoiler Review!! The N00bs are back for another BLIND REACTION to one of the MOST SHOCKING television episodes in recent memory... as a horde of infected descends upon Jackson, Joel finds himself directly in the path of the determined & murderous Abby - saving her life only to land himself directly in the clutches of her gang of ex-Firefly / W.L.F. soldiers. As Tommy and the Jacksoners fight for their lives in an epic stand against the infected, Ellie & Dina desperately search for Joel only to witness the show's most harrowing & shocking moment - the GRISLY Joel death scene at the hands of Abby & her cohorts... Starring the magnetic Pedro Pascal as Joel Miller (celebrated for his powerhouse roles in The Mandalorian and Narcos) and the courageous Bella Ramsay as Ellie (renowned for her performances in Game of Thrones and The Rising), this episode delivers a powerful blend of action, suspense, and emotional depth. The dynamic between Joel and Ellie, set against dramatic, atmospheric backdrops, brings unforgettable scenes—from tense survival sequences to intimate, character-driven moments that truly hit home. Without any prior knowledge from the games, John, Tara, & Roxy share their genuine, first-time reactions to this fresh narrative, capturing every twist and heart-stopping beat as the story unfolds. #TheLastOfUs #HBO #PedroPascal #BellaRamsay #TVReaction #PostApocalyptic #ReactionReview #Season2 #Episode1 #JohnHumphrey #TaraErickson #RoxyStriar The Last of Us 2x2 | Expert GAMERS Reaction & Breakdown: https://youtu.be/3hmjBokodYY The Last of Us 2x1 Blind Reaction (N00bs): https://youtu.be/cJ1cxA9k5Eo Doctor Who 2x2 "LUX" Reaction: https://youtu.be/XLR18sVcHxA Marvel's Future is Looking Dark!: https://youtu.be/q9DdyYYZX5A Black Mirror "USS Callister: Into Infinity" Reaction: https://youtu.be/KapIMMhWX70 0:00 Checking In! 4:52 The Last of Us 2x2 Reaction 42:39 PRIZE PICKS 43:42 The Last of Us 2x2 Review Follow Roxy Striar: Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheWhirlGirls Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/roxystriar/?hl=en Twitter: https://twitter.com/roxystriar Follow *Tara Erickson* on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@TaraErickson Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/taraerickson/ twitter: https://twitter.com/thetaraerickson Intense Suspense by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Follow TheReelRejects On The Socials: IG: https://www.instagram.com/reelrejects/ TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@thereelrejects?lang=en TWITTER: https://twitter.com/thereelrejects FB: https://www.facebook.com/TheReelRejects/ Music Used In Ad: Hat the Jazz by Twin Musicom is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Happy Alley by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ POWERED BY @GFUEL Visit https://gfuel.ly/3wD5Ygo and use code REJECTNATION for 20% off select tubs!!

It just hit me that the whole point of the Seth apology and sandwiches scene is to show Ellie cannot forgive people that have wronged her...even when the stakes are much lower. What great thematic foreshadowing.

Using Ashley Johnson’s rendition of *”Through The Valley”* was such a painful twist of the knife, but it was also the perfect choice. Because it’s a song about vengeance and knowing you won’t be forgiven for taking revenge. But also it serves as a sign of passing that hate from Abby to Ellie and now from Ellie back to Abby. When creator Neil Druckmann said that the first game is about love and the second game is about hate, THIS is what he meant.

“In any other show, she’d be a protagonist” is an excellent description of Abby!

Kaitlyn Dever filmed this scene a few days after her mother's funeral. Having dealt with grief myself, the idea of playing a character _driven by grief_ that close to such a loss is astounding. Phenomenal and brave actor.
