The Last of Us [Drama, Adventure, Thriller, Horror] (Page 4 of 5)

The best scene was probably when Abby was running from the mob and she was crawling behind/under that fence. It's a small scene but I thought it was perfectly done with the fence slowly giving in.

The mob itself...I don't know - that mob was basically on their lawn. I mean they are patrolling that area daily so I can't imagine such a massive force is burried underneath all of that snow so close to the town. They would've had to accumulate before the snow or slowly over time during the snow.

I never played the games but I knew that Joel was going to die since that sparked a lot of controversy in the gaming community.
I get that it had to happen and why - it was a passing of the torch for the show from Joel to Ellie and a great way to push her character development ahead.

But this also means that this was Joel's last episode...and it certainly didn't feel like a goodbye episode for him. We will probably see more in the next episode when they get back to town but still, but this will only be the reaction of the other characters to his death and maybe some flashbacks.

The focus of this Episode should've been on Joel.

At the beginning they could've shown Dina and Joel, with Dina trying to mend the rift between Ellie and Joel. That's why the both of them went on patrol together.

When they had him cornered in the Lodge, Joel didn't try anything at all to try and safe himself - I get that he felt guilty when Abby told him that he killed her father - but still, he does have people to live for so he should've at least tried to fight or talk his way out of there. But no, nothing at all.

And they didn't show the moment when Jesse came into the Lodge...the first person to come from the outside and see Joel dead - that is something that should not have happened off-screen.

So looking at it as the final episode for Joel, this was rather disappointing.

Going inside the train instead of running on top if to begin with. Stupid but believable - in the heat of the moment.

I kinda missed a snarky comment about her being pregnant after they woke up.

And now I can't wait to find out who the "scars" are and who "she" is.

- Abby and Joel have nothing to do with each other, she never came to Jackson.
- The attack of the infected is a lot worse than we got to see.
- Joel + Dina and Ellie + Jesse are still on patrol.
- Ellie + Jesse make it back to support the effort to safe the town.
- Jesse + everyone else dies.
- Ellie is the last survivor in Jackson
- In the nick of the time Joel + Dina make a heroic rescue and Joel dies while saving Ellie.
- With everything gone Ellie + Dina decide to leave Jackson and head out
- They come across Seattle and stark exploring.
- Episode 4 happens

Seriously, was it necessary to make Joel look homophobic when he caught Ellie with the other girl?

The broken promise also felt unnecessary, I think in a situation like that you would be able to tell when he is beyond the point of saving.

And then the waterworks at the end...why did they have to do Joel like that...they should've shown him resolut in his decision, he even said he would do it all over again - why not show that...
