Hello everybody and welcome back to another episode of Nerd Soup.

My name is Ruben.

Join here today with Aaron and we are back to review The Last of Us, season two, episode two, through the valley.

And before we get into today's episode, I want to let you guys know that you can listen to this wherever you get your podcast.

medias at bow soup at nerd soup monkey and at nerd soup that's the main one uh really excited to talk about

this episode just to get right into it i thought that this was the best episode, maybe of the series. The stuff that was adapted from the game was pretty accurate, but I thought that maybe it was even better than the game. I would have to go back and play. And the stuff that they added, like the big battle, the assault on Jackson, reminded me so much of the watchers on the wall.

And I'm sure a lot of people were reminded of that penultimate episode of Game of Thrones season four.

Just the overall scale and the intensity of the zombie invasion.

It was epic.

It was awesome.

I love the hero moment that they gave Tommy, just the, you know, the overall city or town working together, strategizing using the barrels and all that stuff. And then the acting. Possibly the best acting that we've gotten from Pedro Pascal as Joel, from Bella Ramsey, as Ellie. And Caitlin Devere. I don't know why on the last review I called her Catlin. I've been doing that a lot too because I said Caddie O'Brien and I think her name is Katie O'Brien. My brain is just, Joel was going to survive because of how well

they were acting it out and how well it was being executed. I didn't know what was going to happen.

It's like I totally forgot the spoilers of this episode. And God, that was just a brutal beatdown.

And just the little things that they added to that scene, the little changes that they made were great.

You know, there's really nothing I can complain about when it comes to this episode.

And then to cap it all off with the through the valley being sung and performed by the voice

of Ellie in the video games, Ashley Johnson. God, this was amazing. I'm just getting goosebumps

talking about it. So, Aaron, I'm excited to hear what you think. It'd be hilarious if you hated

it. I kind of want her just so we can have

make it a little bit more entertaining. Yeah, duke it

out. Like a whole Skipp and Stephen A thing
