The HBO Original is back with another episode, and fans are ready to make their voices heard. Here are The Last of Us Episode 6 Twitter reactions to show you exactly how dedicated fans are to this show. Viewers have already decreed this to be the best game adaptation till now, and it has become so popular that HBO renewed the show for a second season just after the second episode premiered. The show follows the duo Joel and Ellie as they make their way to a safe haven.
The Last of Us stars Pedro Pascal, Bella Ramsey, Gabriel Luna, Nick Offerman, Anna Torv, Nico Parker and Merle Dandridge, alongside other cast members. The show is written and executive produced by Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann. This episode brings back Gabriel Luna in a western garb, charting his evolution from the past few months.
HBO Max’s synopsis of the series reads, “The Last of Us takes place 20 years after modern civilization has been destroyed. Joel, a hardened survivor, is hired to smuggle Ellie, a 14-year-old girl, out of an oppressive quarantine zone. What starts as a small job soon becomes a brutal, heartbreaking journey, as they both must traverse the U.S. and depend on each other for survival.” In this week’s episode, Joel and Ellie try to find Tommy so that they can guide him to the fireflies.
The duo are warned against going to the end of the river because something dangerous lurking there, and obviously, they don’t plan to listen. When they reach the beginning of the river, they decide to take a break, ruminating about their future to dream about the world when there is actually a cure. Ellie has started having doubts about her immunity and the vaccine, especially after Sam’s death. It is too late to doubt, and Joel intends to keep it that way.

Come dawn, the travelling duo hike all the way to the end of the river and see there isn’t much to be afraid of until they are surrounded by a pack of people on horses. They are thoroughly sniffed and pat down before being taken to a secure location. They find Tommy there, and after a hearty reunion, they ask for his help.
However, Tommy has become comfortable in a closed gated community. Starting a family and taking care of the people around him has rendered it impossible to go out. Joel still manages to convince his brother to take Ellie because he has been getting old and tired. He almost got Ellie killed twice and wasn’t about to let that happen again. By the end of the episode, Joel’s condition has gotten worse, stab wounded and stranded.
Viewers are taken aback by the emotionality of this episode. This is a survivalist show, and it still manages to make the best of them cry every episode. This time they share images, videos and messages in all caps, exclaiming how it has made them sad even though they know what will happen next.
