Hey everyone, I'm The Canadian  Lad and today I'm gonna jump the   bandwagon and give you some details  from HBO's The Last of Us Episode 5.  Now, this is not a complete breakdown,  for that, you go to my friend Paul's   channel where he is doing an amazing  job breaking down the whole episode.  But in this video, I'm gonna give you 5 details  that you probably haven't noticed and haven't   been found by other creators either. So, without any further ado, let's begin! Number 1: When Henry peaks through the glass  window and sees Joel shooting down some soldiers,   there he almost makes eye-contact with Joel. But there's one incredible detail in this   scene and you're only gonna catch it  if you notice very very carefully.  Do you see it? Well, it's this orange reflection on Henry's eyes.  Because just moments earlier, Henry had  painted an orange superhero mask around   Sam’s eyes, turning his brother into Super Sam. So the next scene having this orange reflection   on Henry's face has to be intentional. It now paints him as the superhero his   brother thinks him to be. And if you think about it,   there's something very poetic about this as well. While Henry made his brother a superhero,   Fate made Henry a superhero! I think the cinematographer for   this episode aka Eben Bolter has done something  incredible with this very subtle hidden detail! Number 2: In the last episode Joel told  Elli that she's not family, she is cargo!  But in this episode when Ellie was being chased   by the infected, Joel literally had  a telepathic connection with Ellie.  He looks at Ellie's eyes and knows immediately  that Ellie is gonna try to get inside this Van.  And when this infected managed to get into  the van, notice how scared Joel got for Ellie!  You don't do that for cargo,  you do that for family!  He was perfectly safe in the building away from  all this chaos, but the expression on his face   clearly says he now has the fear of losing Ellie! And this brings back what Bill said to Frank   in episode 3: -CUT SCENE-  "I was never afraid before you showed up" So now Joel feels afraid now that he has   Ellie. That's why he doesn't even sleep at  night and stays up watching the perimeter. Number 3: Before Joel and Henry teamed up,  Joel asked him "Why do you wanna help us?"  And that's when Henry said this:  So the deal was Henry will show  the way while Joel will clear it.  Now if you think about it, Joel  did exactly that in this episode   but not for Henry or Sam, but for Ellie! He shot every infected that came in Ellie's   way and cleared them! He didn't even attempt to  shoot down the infected attacking Henry or Sam!  His entire focus was only on Ellie! So this was a nice little foreshadowing there! Number 4: At this point, almost everyone one  of us choked up seeing this note that Ellie   left at Sam's grave. It says "I'm sorry".  But what's more upsetting for me is that  Ellie got to say her goodbye but Henry didn't.  They could've told Joel and Henry  that Sam was bitten and at least   Henry could've made a thought out decision. He could've talked to his brother one last time.  But I of course understand why Ellie didn't do it,   she thought in her innocent mind that  her blood would be enough to save Sam.  But now that even Henry is dead, Ellie  would only have herself to blame for that.  She will keep thinking about this and regret  that she couldn't save at least one of them. Number 5: After the group came out of the tunnel   safely and made it to the residential  area, they got spotted by a sniper!  Now notice they used the same sound  effect here from the video game! Number 6: And this is a bonus point  but I think it needs to be said.  I'm seeing a lot of people who played  both parts of the game complain that there   aren't many infected or clickers in the show. Now I have one thing to say about this: The   climax of this episode wouldn’t have had as much  weight if we had been getting them more often.  And the fact that Henry was literally impressed  hearing that Ellie and Joel survived two clickers,   goes to show that the infected are much more  dangerous in the show than they're in the game.  In the game they appear more often  because the game isn't just the story,   it has to let you interact and play in between. So far I'm absolutely loving this  show, especially everyone's acting!  The way Pedro Pascal was shaking as he  held the rifle while shooting to protect   Ellie was...was one of the best things for me! And the fact every actor is doing an incredible   job in their respective roles means the  directors, the showrunner and the writers   know exactly what they're doing! Overall, I'm just happy this show   exists and can't wait to make myself  sad again watching the next episode!  Lemme know which was your favorite detail out  of these 5 and of course comment down below if   you think I should know about a detail you found. I'm gonna cover all the remaining episodes of this   show and will keep all the videos small and sweet,  so you enjoy this new adventure of my channel.  Please give me a thumbs up if  you enjoyed this video, grab the   subscribe button and turn notifications on. Till then, I'll see you lads in the next one!
