sheep ranches on the moon, joel’s panic attacks, the dream monologue, “i sure as hell ain’t your dad”, teaching ellie how to shoot, “everyone loved contractors”, the end of the episode… i want him to take that emmy home so badly it hurts 😭
me rewatching tlou when joel and ellie: “how’d you get that scar?” “someone shot at me and missed.” “you shoot back?” “yeah.” “you get him?” “no, i missed too.”
he’s GETTING that emmy. let me be annoying and remind you that this monologue was UNSCRIPTED, pedro did this ON HIS OWN, and the emotion is on another level entirely. he’s GETTING that emmy.
just so you know, he grows up to star in game of thrones, get his own star wars character, be the lead role in one of the biggest television shows of the year, host one of the best episodes of SNL, and become the first latino actor to be nominated for best drama actor in 24 years
thinking about how at the end of the day, joel miller is a girl dad and raised a 14 year old daughter pre-outbreak and was probably so attentive to her mannerisms and picks up on stuff like this and that’s why he noticed it immediately with ellie
i will never ever ever get over when the camera flips again and it’s just him turned to the side still talking to the second camera like that’s peak comedy to me i’m sorry
