🚨 There are MASSIVE — and I mean MASSIVE — spoilers ahead for The Last of Us Episode 5! 🚨
Welp, we made it through another episode of The Last of Us (barely). This week's episode — titled "Endure and Survive," and directed by Jeremy Webb and written by Craig Mazin — is another brutal and cry-inducing episode of TV, and I think it's one of the best episodes of the show so far.
The Last of Us Episode 5 featured Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Ellie (Bella Ramsey) as they team up with brothers Henry (Lamar Johnson) and Sam (Keivonn Montreal Woodard) to try to escape Kansas City, namely Kathleen (Melanie Lynskey) and her group.
When I tell you I was WEEPING by the end of this episode, I mean it. And as a non-game-playing viewer, I was devastated by the end of Henry and Sam's journey.
So to express their love for this latest episode, fans — like me — and the cast and crew took to Twitter to make some amazing jokes and memes and simply give some A+ commentary. Here's a look at some of the best tweets about The Last of Us Episode 5:

So grateful for this opportunity to do what I love on such an incredible, awe-inspiring show. Thank you @clmazin and @Neil_Druckmann, it was a wonderful ride and I couldn’t have asked for a better partner/brother/talent in Keivonn, my Super Sam. 🦸🏾♂️ #TheLastOfUs #HenryAndSam

The magic of @BellaRamsey! I could watch her sit in a room and stare at the wall for an hour. Her Ellie is so compelling and beautifully layered. And funny!! What a genius 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Bella Ramsey deserves so much credit for this scene just her reaction made this even better than what the games did 😭👏 #TheLastOfUs
14.
@BellaRamsey If you don't yet own a mantelpiece, invest in one. All the awards are coming your way. Stunning, understated, raging, brilliant work from one of the most grounded, kind, down-to-earth, human beings I've ever had the pleasure to meet. 🔥🍄🫡

i just think that melanie lynskey is a once in a generation kind of talent. her ability to be utterly terrifying by being so calm and quiet as kathleen in the last of us was brilliant. i'm so glad she's finally getting her MOMENT because wow what a gift to TV she is

Back in early 2019 while taking the ND art test, I used the og cinematic as lighting reference. When starting the remake, I begged to light this cine and was assigned to it. Seeing it translated to tv last night was amazing, and I love how they expand on Henry and Sam.
