Well, "The Last Of Us" Just Gave Us A Heartbreaking TV Episode, And Everyone Has The Same Reactions Because They Are So Accurate

Buzz Feed21-04-2025

🚨 There are massive — and I mean MASSIVE — spoilers ahead for The Last of Us Season 2, Episode 2! 🚨
Well, everyone. We've finally reached the moment video game fans have been dreading for years. The Last of Us Season 2, Episode 2 — titled "Through The Valley," directed by Mark Mylod and written by Criag Mazin — delivered not only one of the biggest infected battles the show has seen to date, but also a brutal death of a beloved character.
This episode featured Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Dina (Isabela Merced) out on patrol when a blizzard hit, which causes them to run directly into Abby (Kaitlyn Dever), who arrived on the outskirts of Jackson with her crew in the last episode. It's right here that, as a huge fan of the video game, I started to sweat because I knew what was around the corner.
As Abby takes Joel and Dina back to her crew, it's there that we witness the live-action adaptation of one of the most heartbreaking character deaths. Period. After telling Joel that the Firefly doctor he killed in order to save Ellie (Bella Ramsey) in Season 1 was her father, Abby tortures and kills Joel — all while Dina is drugged and knocked unconscious.
Of course, what makes the episode even more tragic is Ellie walking in on the whole thing, but it's too late. And she watches Joel (aka her father) ultimately die.
And if that wasn't enough, the episode also includes the biggest infected fight when a horde of infected, including a massive bloater, converge on Jackson, with Tommy (Gabriel Luna) and others left to defend the town.
So, naturally, fans took to Twitter to voice their heartbreak over this latest episode and make some incredible jokes and give A+ commentary about "Through The Valley." So, here are some of the best tweets about The Last of Us Season 2, Episode 2:

That was genuinely one of the best episodes of television ever. The writing, the dialogue, the action, the tension building up, the sense of danger hanging over the entirety of the episode, the action, and ofcourse the incredible acting performances. #TheLastOfUs pic.twitter.com/2bx6M7HNee

Kim Cattrall Says Her Internalized Ageism Made Her Turn Down ‘SATC' Role 4 Times

In a new interview, Kim Cattrall shared how Sex and the City fan favorite Samantha Jones wasn't an immediate 'yes' for her when she was cast. The star admitted she turned down the role four times because of 'self-inflicted ageism.' The actress was 41-years-old when she became Samantha, which she at first felt was too old for such a confidently sexual character. 'Well, that changed—40 became sexy. It became, 'Man, let's have more of that,' she told The Times. 'She wasn't a nymphomaniac—well, some people might have thought she was—but she was just enjoying the main course. Everyone else was nibbling on the appetizers when she was going for the steak. And it was always on her terms—that I always insisted on. But I'm the antithesis of her [Samantha] in many ways. I'm a serial monogamist, and then some.' Cattrall added, 'I created a fantastic character that I loved, and I put a lot of love in it. And if I'm remembered only for that, then that's really okay.' The original Sex and the City had six seasons on HBO before ending in 2004. The sequel series And Just Like That… premiered in 2021, starring Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis. Cattrall declined to return as Samantha until season 2, when she made a brief cameo in one episode. In May, Parker was asked by ELLE UK if there might be another Samantha cameo, and the actress replied, 'No, no, I don't think so. Not that we [Parker and showrunner Michael Patrick King] have ever discussed.' In July 2024, a source told Life & Style, 'Since they've paved the way for Samantha to come back, it's assumed that they've done a deal with Kim and they're just waiting for the right time to announce it. The word is that she'll get to do all her scenes in London.'
