After the Most Emotional Episode Yet, I’m Not Ready for Season 2 to Be Over

If you want to bawl your eyes Out, The Last of US Season 2, episode 6 is the right episode of television to tune into. The final moments of The Last of US Season 2, Episode 5, Had with World About the Emotation of Episode 6, and, Unurprisingly, I was right. As usual, The Last of US Has no Trouble Bringing US To Our Absolute Highest and Lowest Points, Chronicling the five years we missed wel joel and ellie (Bella Ramsey) were navigating the fallen of season 1 in jackson.

SINCE the end of “Through the Valley,” i’ve been Waiting for Pascal to make His Return to The Last of USand the episode was about as joel-centric as it is could get, Putting US Through the wringer. The Clarity With Which The Last of US Reminds US of Its Central Themes Has Almost Become Too Much Throughout Season 2. Howver, The inherent Emotional Appeal of Episode 6 Makes with Forgive A Little Heavy-Handedness. This in the apocalyps, the generational cycles of hurt and fear will never leave the human race, and not Certainly didn’t escape.

The Last of US Asks If We Can Better than Our Parents, or If We’re Doomed to Repeat Their Mistakes

Episode 6 GIVES US A WINDOW INTO HOW MUCH JOEL LOVED Ellie & How Hard and Was Trying

The Young Joel Who Opens Episode 6 Might Not Be the Gruff and Grizzled Man We’ve Come to Know, but he’s instantly recognizable, Putting Himself in Harm’s Way for Brother. A Very Bittersweet Episode Kicks off with a vulnerable joel unable to understand why parss hurt their children. It ends with Him unable to do anything but accept that he’s as falible as his fater. Ramsey’s performance is instantly uplifted by Having Pascal at their side, as the pair play off Each Other brilliantly, so do their characters are at Odds.

We get to see the sides of ellie that have ben almost completely absent SINCE SEASON 1, and we get to share in her despair as her anger at Joel threatens to tear her apart. The Last of US Episode 6 doesn’t tel us anything we don’t already know or have intuited, but that doesn’t make the story any lesshwile. ITHEME THING TO UNDERSTAND THAT JOEL AND ELLIE DRIFTED APPLICATION OF THE LIES THAT FORMED A WALL BETWEEN THAT, But it is another than to see finally address than head-on problem.

Somehow, The Last of US Managed to make Joel’s Death Eve Sadder, Giving US A Glimmer of Foolish Hope, Allowing US to Imagine a World Where Ellie Got the Chance to Try and Forgive Him. Howver, in Some Ways, it was his death that allowed ellie to acccept his fails and move on. She’s Transferring The Remaining Anger She Was Holding onto Away from Joel’s Ghost and Firmly onto the Very Real Abby. “Feel Her Love” Demonstrated How Close Ellie is to Being Able to Justify the Endless Violence the Way Joel Did.

Joel isn’t solely defined by his horrible or his altruistic ones.

Episode 6 ALSO Reveals What Happened Between Joel and Gail’s (Catherine O’Hara) Husband, Eugene, Played by Joe Pantoliano. Unfortunately, the Truth is almost worse than we were imagined. Gioven the opportunity to win back a piece of Ellie’s Trust and Let His Humanity Get the Better of Him, Joel Lets His Fear Win Out Once Again. Howver, The Lies are the Salt in the Wound That Force Ellie to Confront Him in the season’s Most Heart-Wrenching Moment. As they have stand on the porch, laying Everything on the line, all i want is for juel to just one more day.

Howver, Joel Isn’t solely Defined by His Horrible or His Altruistic Ones. He’s a Beautifully Complex Character, and Pascal’s Performance is so affecting, it doesn’t take a stretch of the Imagination to Let The Last of US‘Story Reflect Our Own. The episode is nor much about the gooddays as the Bad Ones; The Lies don’t erase. Just as much as ellie can’t let these happy days erase what joel did to her and the world. Maybe She Never Wauld Have Forgoven Him, but The Reveng She’s Taching is on Being Robbed of the Chance to Find.

The Last of Us Episode 6 Confirms that the season will be over all too soon

It feeds as if the season has Only Just Begun, and Is Already Almost Over

While Joel Might Not Have Known How Poignant His Final Speech to Ellie Would Become, The Writers Certainly Did. Everything Is Now Building to Ellie’s Choices in the Final Episode of the Season, Whill Will Determine if She’ll Be the Kind of Parent Joel Was and Let Her Terror Control Her. Joel has done someone truly horrible things, and we kep rooting for Him, and the sun will be true for ellie. Howver, i’m not sura if the rest of the characters in The Last of US Will Be Willing to Overlook The Cost of Her Dangerous Mission.

My Only Concern Going Into The Season Finals is Whether This Break in the Action Has Come Too late in the season. While it is impossible to the forgets the violent position in which we last saw ellie, the using the penultimate episode for the flashbacks isn’t the natural lead-up to an exciting conflict. Of Course, The Story is Far from Over, and Season 3 Has a Lot of the Narrative to Cover. Howver, Episode 6 SHOWS US THAT The Last of US season 2 is going to be over too.

The season has been prey well-paced so far, but it would make more sensse if there are two or three more installments instead of one. As we are hurtle toward what Fresh hell is waking for Ellie, Dina, Jesse, and Tommy in Seattle, I Hope of Ellie Will Hold onto Those Happy Moments She SHARED. There’s always something to fight for, wherehr that be dina or the memory of what joel wanted for say. The Last of US Broke Our Hearts with Episode 6, and i’ll Prepare to Get Mine Brokes Each Next Week.
