1. Who is ready for pain?
2. Not me, so let’s do this.
3. I love that the recap included the pun book.
4. God damnit, why’d we have to see Sam again?
5. Baby girl. Please stop hurting me this way.
6. ELLIE’S MOM
7. It’s Ashley Jackson, the voice actor for Ellie in the games. I love seeing several of the voice actors in this show.
8. Dang, that house looks a lot like the one from the second game that Dina and Ellie live in.
9. Is Ellie’s knife the same one as her mom’s?
10. That is one determined infected.
11. Crap, did she just get bit?
12. Wait, she really delivered that baby during the fight? Damn. Ellie’s mom is a total badass.
13. I need to know more about her mom. How’d she end up in that house all alone? I’m guessing it was a firefly hideout and they abandoned it.
14. Oh, hi Marlene.
15. Did they know to look for her there or did they just decide to check on that hideout?
16. So, Anna was bit and the umbilical cord was still attached to Ellie. That may be why she’s immune.
17. Yes, give Ellie her knife. Baby girl needs to fight.
18. Damn, that’s cold Marlene. Kill your friend.
19. There you go.
20. That guy was worthless. He didn’t cover Ellie’s ears.
21. Aw, he found Bogle for her. That’s so cute.
22. Joel was looting.
23. Ellie has so much on her mind. She’s so different now then the first episode.
24. Come on, let’s get some dynamite and blast through the rubble.
25. Please let us get the special surprise. We need it.
26. YES
27. GIRAFFE FRIEND
28. God, that looks so pretty!
29. Yes, feed my giraffe friend. She’s hungry. And look at that tongue. I love her.
30. Please tell me there’s a herd.
31. YES BABY
32. THERE’S A BABY GIRAFFE
33. This may have been my favorite scene in the game and it’s so good in the show too. I’m content. I’ll just turn it off now and pretend everything’s fine.
34. Sheep ranch on the moon, let’s go.
35. Wait…. holy crap.
36. That gives so much more depth to Joel’s despair and his character. And his fear of not being able to protect Ellie.
37. My god. This hurts my heart.
38. He flinched because he wasn’t ready. Simple as that, Joel.
39. MY HEART
40. EXCUSE YOU SHOW, I WAS NOT PREPARED FOR THAT MOMENT
41. Joel said Ellie healed him. I’m sobbing.
42. PUNS
43. That grape one was funny.
44. Dude, why are you throwing bombs at a child?
45. Why couldn’t we have more of that cuteness with puns? This show gives just a taste of happy and then throws a damn bomb at you. Literally.
46. I appreciate the actual scientific reasoning behind her immunity.
47. Technically, you weren’t. Anna gave birth before you got there.
48. Not Ellie’s knife. God, that’s just low.
49. THE GROIN SHOT
50. This feels so much like the video game.
51. It really is a massacre. Joel could not give one shit about the people he killed right now.
52. God, the imagery on the walls makes it so uncomfortable.
53. Welp, there goes the doctor.
54. Well, at least Joel left the two nurses alive. Take what we can get during that rampage.
55. Pedro Pascal’s acting is so good. You can see all the emotions flitterin across his face during that elevator ride.
56. Marlene, it is too late. The doctor is dead after all.
57. Ugh, not the lie.
58. Bye bye Marlene.
59. Good explanation about her clothes, Joel.
60. Joel did tell some truth there. People were hurt. He just didn’t specifiy who did the hurting.
61. God, beautiful scene with the lake and mountains.
62. Did Joel give Ellie her knife back?
63. Oh Joel, describing Sarah as girly.
64. I honestly love that Joel is talking so much about Sarah. He feels safe telling Ellie about her. It’s so precious.
65. GOD, NOW WE KNOW ELLIE KILLED RILEY
66. That line has so much weight now that we know Joel tried to end his life before.
67. Oh, Joel. Lying only hurts her later on.
68. OKAY

God, this was just a brilliant season. I want the next season now. Give all the Emmy’s to Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey. And an Emmy to the third episode in the season too. Just, all of the awards.
