#TheLastOfUsSeason2 Episode 6 is a perfect episode. Had me crying by the end. Seeing Joel again after what happened earlier was a bittersweet feeling. The writing & directing here was phenomenal & the performances from Ramsay & Pascal were incredible. #TheLastofUs pic.twitter.com/YmRVQPrsOX
The Last of Us Season 2 episode 6 ending explained
Remember after Joel's death, Ellie was kept in a hospital to recover? That's where Gale came in to ask her a series of questions about her well-being. She also asked if the last time Ellie spoke to Joel was at the New Year's party, and Ellie said yes but she lied.
At the end of The Last of Us Season 2, Episode 6, we learn that after Joel pushed Seth and returned home, Ellie saw him sitting on the porch and decided to start a conversation with him.
Long story short, Ellie had been angry at Joel because after Eugene was bitten, Joel didn't let him see his wife, Gale, even though he had time before fully transforming. Joel had promised Ellie that he wouldn't kill Eugene right away, but he did and to Ellie, that felt like a betrayal. After confronting Joel about this, Ellie asked him about what really happened at the hospital and whether he killed the people who could have created a cure. Joel admitted that he did, because otherwise, she would have died.
When Ellie got angry, Joel told her that he would do it all over again if he had to because he would do anything to save her. Ellie thinks Joel is selfish, but to Joel, Ellie is nothing less than a daughter. He acted out of love.

'Ocean' is David Attenborough's greatest, most personal account yet: team behind Nat Geo documentary

For directors Keith Scholey, Colin Butfield, and Toby Nowlan, and executive producer Enric Sala, one thing is clear — the documentary wouldn't exist without the 99-year-old legend. The National Geographic film, described by the team as Attenborough's most personal yet, explores the story of the ocean through the lens of a man whose life has paralleled the rise of marine science. New Delhi, Jun 7 (PTI) Veteran British broadcaster David Attenborough is the world's most trusted storyteller, bringing not only passion and truth but also a rare personal connection to everything he touches — something that is evident in his latest documentary, 'Ocean with David Attenborough', say the filmmakers behind the project. 'Without David, there's no film. There's no two ways about it. This is a challenging subject which has to happen. David has always told people the truth and he has universal trust. 'To have a person of his stature to be able to tell this story, it is so important to get it funded in the first place, and then get it on cinema screens, and then to the world,' Scholey told PTI in an interview. The documentary special, which explores diverse and vital marine ecosystems, highlighting their connection to preventing climate disaster and the threats posed by harmful fishing practices, will premiere on National Geographic and stream on JioHotstar at 7 pm on Sunday on World Oceans Day. As a broadcaster, Scholey said Attenborough possesses the quality of creating a passionate narration, and delivering it in an effective way that reaches the audience. 'Thank heavens we've got him, because otherwise, we couldn't make films like this, we just could not reach so many people, so he is a great gift,' said Scholey, who has been collaborating and working with the British legend consistently for the past 40 years. Butfield, who besides co-directing the documentary also wrote the book 'Ocean: Earth's Last Wilderness' with Attenborough, believes the British broadcaster's life closely mirrors the ocean's journey of exploration and discovery. 'He's (Attenborough) had such a long life, he's seen so much of the natural world… When he was a boy, we knew very little, and then as he started to dive and film and travel, we gradually uncovered more and more. 'Also the large-scale destruction of the ocean started to happen in his lifetime, and it's happening off the coast of the country he, Keith and I live in (the UK) as well as many other parts of the world. And then the recovery has happened during his lifetime in certain places. So he's got that phenomenal span of it,' he added. Nowlan, who has worked on BBC's 'A Perfect Planet', and Emmy-winning series 'Planet Earth II' and 'Our Planet', all with Attenborough, added that he brings not only authority but also unwavering enthusiasm to his work. 'Even at 99 years old, when he narrates something, when he lends himself to something, he says it with such presence and passion. It's as if someone's just seen it for the first time. When David says something, it's never about the David Attenborough show. It's all about the subject, and this subject is the ocean. It's his greatest message yet, the most important story he's ever told,' he said. And for Sala, a marine biologist and National Geographic explorer-in-residence, Attenborough is the 'opposite of fake news'. 'David was extremely passionate about this project and this idea that after 100 years, he's come to this big conclusion that there's nowhere more important on Earth than the ocean. And so that lent himself to being very personally involved in everything in the film. It's very unique and might be the most personal account from David on screen,' he added. According to the makers, 'Ocean with David Attenborough' features never-before-seen footage of bottom trawling, the act of dragging weighted fishing nets along the Ocean floor, exposing its severe impact on the ocean. While Attenborough highlights these urgent threats in the documentary, he also shares inspiring global stories, showing that if the world acts now, marine life can recover faster than expected. Scholey said climate change in the 1990s was widely dismissed by many. 'I just remember then, just talking about climate change, everyone sort of said, 'Oh, it's all made up.' And, of course, no one would dream of saying that now,' he said. Butfield said the film is timely as many countries worldwide are seriously considering how to protect their coastlines. 'You can really show it at a moment when the global political infrastructure is starting to think, 'Yeah, maybe there's a win-win here.' Maybe by protecting the ocean, we get more jobs, better livelihoods, food security, we also help tackle climate change. 'It's good for us, nature, climate, and it felt like it's the right optimistic story coming at the right moment,' he added. Sala believes ocean recovery is possible because many protected areas worldwide have already shown miraculous signs of healing and replenishing themselves. 'Many countries have done it. India is one of the countries that agreed to protect at least 30 per cent of the ocean by 2030, (it) still has a long way to go, but the commitment is there. So, we believe it's possible because it's already happening in many places around the world,' he said. Nowlan agreed and said the biggest takeaway from the documentary is its message of hope. 'This is not fake hope. This is real, tangible hope that if we protect big slices of ocean, a third of the ocean, then they fill up with life again very quickly and in the most spectacular way, more than anyone had realised was possible, and quicker than people had realised, and it fills the surrounding areas,' he added. 'Ocean with David Attenborough' is a Silverback Films and Open Planet Studios co-production. PTI BK RB RB This report is auto-generated from PTI news service.

‘Mountainhead' review: Plutocrats in party mode

Which is the scariest episode of Succession? If you've watched the HBO sensation — created by British satirist Jesse Armstrong and streaming in India on JioHotstar — you're bound to have a few nominees. It may be the one where a media baron forces his employees to humiliate themselves with a game called 'Boar On The Floor,' the one where a wife spells out to her husband just how surely she doesn't love him, the one where a son desperately wants to confess a crime to his mother, to which she tells him they'll do it over eggs in the morning — only to ghost him come breakfast. Armstrong created awful (and awfully compelling) characters, and they've left scars. For me, the most chilling episode remains 'Whatever It Takes' (season 3, episode 6) where a media magnate and his family are encamped in a Republican retreat and, in hotel rooms and bathrooms, casually vet and select America's next President. At a time oligarchs appear to be running countries with more certainty than elected leaders, this episode cuts deep, focussing on personal pettiness and whimsy and the impossible imbalance of power. It felt frighteningly plausible. Armstrong riffs again on men who control the world — who control all our worlds, to be precise — in his debut film Mountainhead, out now on JioHotstar. Four tech moguls, who scrawl their net-worths on their chests, have gathered for an off-the-grid weekend of playing poker and roasting each other, except they can't really fall off the grid because the world happens to be burning. (This only makes the roasting hotter.) Cory Michael Smith plays Venis Parish, the biggest fish of the four, worth $220 billion and heading a social media network that — because of newly launched AI tools — is spreading so much misinformation so efficiently that reactionary violence is breaking out around the world. As they scroll past horrifying videos on their feeds, Venis convinces himself that the videos look too realistic to be real. 'Do you believe in other people?", he asks Randall, the eldest of the group, who assuages his (momentary) concern. (This, again, is straight out of Succession, where the party line for customers dying on cruise-ships involved the savage acronym NRPI: 'No real person involved.") Randall Garrett is played by Steve Carrell, who has a terminal disease but literally refuses to die. 'Incorrect," he snaps at a doctor's diagnosis, instead goading Parish to create a post-human world where Garrett's own consciousness can be uploaded to something — anything — that may live on. It's a terrific character, perpetually sinister and self-serving, hiding his own motives behind Hegel and Kant. Jeff Abredazi, an AI superstar whose net worth is growing by the minute, calls Randall 'Papa Bear" and confides in him. Jeff, played by Ramy Youssef, appears to have a fix to what's ailing the world, a filter that can tell truth from fiction and immediately extinguish the violence — but this would require him to join forces with Venis. This is a slippery conundrum, because while Jeff seems to be the only one affected by the outbreaks of violence, no greater good compels him to shake hands with Venis. Morality, it is apparent, gets fuzzier and fuzzier in rarefied air. The host of the weekend is Hugo Van Yalk, nicknamed Soupy. While this is tweaked to 'Souperman' from time to time, it stands for 'Soup Kitchen' since he is the only non-billionaire of the bunch. Played by Jason Schwarzman, Soupy has built the high-altitude home that gives the film its title — while all the others decry its ugliness. Schwarzman soaks the character in such unctuousness that he makes it evident that while the others are finished products, he hopes that he is merely a billionaire-in-waiting, a trial version that will make it big someday. A beta. The performances are great across the board. Smith is absolutely unhinged, picking fights with trees and annoyed by the President putting him on hold. Youssef is visibly grappling with newfound power while trying to be a part of a quartet — however misguided said quartet may be. Carrell is, unsurprisingly, the pick of the bunch, entitled and petty and deeply amoral. As the film moves from deluded-tycoon territory to wilder and more bizarre shenanigans, it is he who grounds the madness and makes it feel scarily real. One of my top Carrell physical comedy bits is in the 2006 film Little Miss Sunshine when he, as an affectionate uncle, runs towards automatic doors with arms by his side and hands winged up, willing it to open faster so he can run in. It's spectacular. In Mountainhead, his character is so blinded by desperation and envy that he walks straight into a glass door. Mountainhead is a highly entertaining and characteristically quotable film from Armstrong, but Succession loyalists have seen these themes before, while tech-bros like Peter Thiel and the Paypal mafia have been lampooned far more effectively in Mike Judge's prescient Silicon Valley. There are times when this film begins to resemble the sublime The Death Of Stalin (Amazon Prime, directed by Armstrong's former collaborator Armando Iannucci) but when four tech-bros stand in front of a RISK board-game and start divvying up the world, it feels clumsily literal. Then again, keeping it literal may be the plan. Mountainhead's significance lies in its urgent timeliness, with world leaders on the payroll of big businessmen, and AI developing quicker than humanity can handle. How much do we know? The film starts by showing horrible violence in Gujarat and ends with a CNN headline where the Indian 'government says order has been restored across most of the country." In this increasingly post-fact world, what can we believe? Who will fact-check the fact-checkers? Streaming Tip Of The Week The documentary The Social Dilemma (Netflix) is five years old — which feels like an eternity given the way technology and social behaviour is evolving — but the film remains thought-provoking and essential.
