Ellie
"there's more stuff over there you can break.."
February 27, 2023
Left Behind was a prequel game for the Last of Us, focused on Ellie! I never played it, but I have heard some amazing things about it! But, this episode was a delight to watch! Great chemistry between these two, for sure! This was so good.
These two are great! This was a very fun episode.. well fun might not be the best word for it. This is just great! These were great actors here. These were great scenes, wow!

This was a great set! Great color, great atmosphere. My only concern was they didn't really pay attention to their surroundings before it was too late. It was nice while it lasted, obviously. Also, terrifying when the lights are off.

From what I've seen from the Left Behind game, this is very close to the game. And for someone whose not played the game, this was a great episode as it was.
Again I'll say, these were great actors portraying this amazing story. But, whoa. THESE GIRLS DO NOT CARE ABOUT THEIR SURROUNDINGS. I have said this so many times this episode, this was incredible.
Well, I knew this was coming, and it was nice but whoa this was SCARY!
We see Ellie trying to take care of Joel when Joel wants Ellie to go, what's she going to do? Okay, well Ellie looks like she's got it!

OMG. DAVID. ALSO TROY BAKER YES PLEASE. Okay, no more screaming.. wait THE DINER ON FIRE WE ARE GETTING THAT SCENE! YES!

I'm trying a new way of reviewing, by implementing a new way to review - using a format taken from 2toRamble! And that’s the system! Rate those 5 categories out of 10, average your score, and that’s your /10 Rambler Rating! You can rate each category to the nearest hundredth, tenth, whole number, or whatever you please.
Wow, this was GREAT! Everything was great!
| Category | Score | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Emotional Impact | 5 | WOW. Just, wow. This was great! |
| Characters | 5 | THIS WAS AN INCREDIBLE EPISODE - A GREAT CHARACTER EPISODE. WOW. |
| Plot | 5 | First off, a great departure for what we needed from the story, and it's good to see this break from the current timeline. |
| Dialogue / Prose | 5 | These great actors really pushed what they were written to the limit! This was great, and maybe it was just the emotional impact of what we've seen so far to now, but this was great! |
| Cinematography / World Building | 5 | BEAUTIFULLY SHOT, and absolutely a nice story building episode for Ellie. |
