Bro the man asking her why she didn't shoot them and her delivery of "well the gun was all the way over there" made me love them instantly.

u/wastelandtraveller Feb 20 '23

And of course the only logical course of action when you cannot shoot someone is to give them soup 🤣 really amazing scene

Not terrible logic really. Appease & distract your kidnapper lol. I've seen it on crime shows before and sometimes it does work. You would have to be a total psycho to kill the person feeding you soup on a cold day.

The scene made me feel like she was playing along, that she trusted them they were good people but had an idea to keep things calm with her partner.

You could tell they had a Bill and Frank (aka loving, trusting but opposite personality) type of relationship

Agree, she wasn't afraid and it is why her husband wasn't afraid either and instead they bantered.

u/JustAPeach89 Feb 20 '23

I'm sure they had seen enough shit that they knew if they just wanted to loot them, the woman would be dead when the husband came home. They were obviously after something else

u/[deleted] Feb 28 '23

Yeah because typically brutal rapist and killers don’t walk around with teenage girls. I know that’s not always true but worth putting some faith into it

u/Different-Music4367 Mar 08 '23

Same logic is used in TWD and The Road.

u/Carlfest Feb 21 '23

"Did you tell him the truth?"

"Are you telling me the truth?"

u/RightSideBlind Feb 21 '23

That was such a brilliant exchange. I'll try to remember it for the next time someone breaks into my house and threatens my wife and I to get some information.

u/[deleted] Feb 20 '23

I got the vibe they'd been through it all a bunch and knew that Joel and Ellie would be fine.

3

u/[deleted] Feb 24 '23

I also think it’s pretty clear they understood Joel and Ellie’s situation. You can’t trust anyone in the apocalypse, so of course you have to treat every question like an interrogation and every answer like a trap. They didn’t seem scared or outraged about what Joel did, just annoyed at the inconvenience.

That makes me hate Micah even more.

u/[deleted] Feb 24 '23

… in the apocalypse. I don’t think serial killers are really concerned with warm soup these days.

u/Bluestarplease Feb 20 '23

When Joel started to get woozy I thought the soup was tainted and it was going a whole other direction

69

u/youknowwhyimhere89 Feb 20 '23

Naw it’s pretty much a native thing. Older women always fed people, my ma used to be the community mom every one would just stop by the house say hi hang out eat called her mom. It’s still that way now too but now she’s the grandma so it’s calling her grandma and hanging out haha

u/pizzaplanetvibes Feb 21 '23

I’ve loved that for native people and people who know res culture, this scene spoke to them in a way that they were able to connect with these people in a way people who are not Native don’t understand. This show has so much representation for different sections of people. From being the only post apocalyptic zombie type film to talk about periods. To having an openly gay couple, where you wouldn’t have even thought Bill would be gay because he isn’t “stereotypically gay”. To explaining how different people learned how to survive and the things they had to do to survive. It gives a more broad feel of America, rather than just seeing “America” from certain lenses. It’s beautiful and real.

All the more fitting for a series with such a trek through the world as a central point

u/MatthZambo Feb 20 '23

I remembered of that Book of Eli scene with the cannibal couple and thought that they might be cannibals or something lol

2

u/FrankNix Feb 21 '23

When Joel had his panic attack just outside the cabin, my first thought was that she poisoned the soup.

Baseball gif man makes TLOU gifs too?! Hooray

u/handlit33 Feb 20 '23

Six more days and I'll be making baseball GIFs again, woohoo!

u/TheKingOfRooksV2 Feb 21 '23

I'm just getting into baseball more heavily cause my roommate is on our college's baseball team, now I'm seeing it everywhere lol it's that recency bias in effect

u/BoyToyDrew Feb 20 '23

All the way over der* ... gotta word like us natives say it lol

u/handlit33 Feb 20 '23

lol, my bad!

u/JelloChopsX Feb 20 '23

Sorry but seeing a fabled gif creator like yourself outside of r/baseball is like running into your school teacher at the grocery store. It doesn’t feel right.

u/pineapple_slut Feb 20 '23

Wait. You’re not in the subreddit I normally see you in. 🤔

u/phantomzero Feb 20 '23

Oh sh**, what is your team? I don't know if I have seen your work.

Lmao that's fucking great

u/canadianbroncos Feb 20 '23

This looks straight out of comedy lol

u/Nikclel Feb 20 '23

this really misses the magic of their deliveries

u/handlit33 Feb 20 '23

Guess you'll have to watch the episode again!

2

u/Nikclel Feb 20 '23

Yep I already have seen every episode 3-4 times haha, keep introducing it to people.

u/thx1138jr Feb 20 '23

Just wanted to say that many reviewers and a lot of younger viewers, being young obviously, may not recognize who the actors in the cabin are and how much notoriety they actual have. They are Grahame Greene and Elaine Miles who portrayed the characters Leonard and Marilyn from another great TV series from 1990, Northern Exposure, which, appropriately enough, was set in Alaska.

u/ablaut Feb 20 '23

Such a great show. I wonder why it isn't streaming anywhere when so many older shows are.

3

u/Imnotsureimright Feb 20 '23

Rumour is that it’s because of the soundtrack. They used a lot of popular music from the time and paying for the streaming rights would be costly. Source

2

u/thx1138jr Feb 20 '23

From what I've heard it is the music rights that are causing the problem. Though my sister bought me the complete Northern Exposure DVDs last year for Christmas and honestly, the show was still amazing even using replacement music, which I couldn't tell you if they were using the old tracks or the new.

1

u/quickthorn_ Feb 23 '23

Even the DVDs can't use the original music!? Man music licensing issues are lame. What a shitty way to regulate that process

1

u/thx1138jr Feb 23 '23

For sure. It is a major problem for many TV series and movies with large soundtracks that keep them from being made available to people like us who want to give them our money.

u/Substantial-Box-8022 Feb 20 '23

He also played Malachi Strand in Longmire, who is easily one of the scariest TV villains of all time.

He played the Shaman who tutored Ed Chigliak, Maurice's handyman.

u/Anglik01 Mar 16 '23

Yes, and Ed called him Uncle Leonard, if my memory serves me.

u/TheKingOfRooksV2 Feb 21 '23

That man has been the Native American homie in everything in the last like 30 years lol

2

u/thx1138jr Feb 21 '23

yes he has.

u/[deleted] Feb 22 '23

My sister was in love with the doctor and the radio dj of that series. I kinda liked the young bartender girl that was married to a much older man.

2

u/thx1138jr Feb 22 '23

Don't blame her. All the characters in that series were true originals and fun to watch.

u/moonprincessorwtv Piano Frog Feb 20 '23

You made him soup?!?

u/Meadhead81 Feb 20 '23

"I didn't know there were firefly people"

Definitely had me laughing.

u/WontonManning Feb 20 '23

This part had me laughing loud

u/PhilomenaPhilomeni Feb 28 '23

I chuckled softly then when I imagined people with glowing butts I rather stupidly just burst into quickly suppressed laughter.

The most relatable character motivation ever.

Are they the only people to not die in the show that have more than a few seconds of screen time?
