Deep Dive into The Last of Us Season 2 Finale: Highlights & Reactions, Ep 267
Manage episode 485250257 series 2101905
In this special episode of Screens in Focus, Diana and Sam unpack the emotional rollercoaster of The Last of Us Season 2 finale—and the season as a whole. Diana’s firmly on the Joel & Ellie train 🚂 (justice for Joel!) and shares how Episode 2 and the flashbacks in Episode 6 had her bawling. Sam brings powerful insight into the show’s layered themes—grief, survival, vengeance, found family—and the complicated morality that threads through each group’s choices.
They also touch on how Joel’s hospital decision still sparks debate, and Diana speculates on Abby’s story in Season 3, drawing a comparison to Dead City’s treatment of Negan: perspectives shift when you see the other side. With standout performances from Bella Ramsey, Isabela Merced, Young Mazino, and the always brilliant Pedro Pascal (whose work in Episode 6 is especially heartbreaking), this episode is packed with heart, nuance, and a little fangirling.
💔 Get ready for raw reactions, thoughtful reflections, and speculation on where Season 3 might take us.
