The ending scene was done well, very by the book, great transition.

The episode itself was... meh? It's been a minute, so I don't remember Ellie's Day 3 as well, but it had to be more than just that, right? :patrice:

Time to see how people will react to Abby being front and center in Season 3. :mjlol:

I got a feeling that it'll be better based on the reactions to Season 2. This season felt like an answer to "What if TLOU1 Ellie was in TLOU2?" except she doubled down and turned down every chance she had to go back to Jackson, despite her outright saying they should go back multiple times.

Now the writer of the game is explaining that they cut the Ellie landing on Scar Island..

Likely because it didn't serve anything to the story..
It was to make the viewers not like them, just like when they had Jesse and Ellie see the WLF drag that dude out.

To show that both groups are fked up
I disagree bro.. They already showed that two episodes ago when they ripped out dude's guts..

Pretty risky gambit they are running with here playing the Abbey switch straight. In game the shift was immediate now dudes have to wait 2 years to see what she is about as they havent built her up at all. I would have at least did some shifts in perspective during the season, audience has no emotional connection to her besides hate lol

In game it works because you hop right into playing her here. IDK how folks will care about this in several years tbh

I just played this level today for the first time since the original release. They just skipped the dozens of WLF that Ellie kills to get to the Aquarium. You had to steal the boat from WLF and make your way to it. The moment between her and Jesse occurs in the middle of the level where Jesse goes to get Tommy and she goes to get Abby.

I think they showed the seraphites about to gut ellie because earlier in the episode it showed ellie almost risk her life to save one of them. It’s just about how naive and wreckless she’s been this entire season.

all this talk of good people and bad people is one that mimics a lot of fan discussion. Everyone in this world is different shades of shyt

i thought this ep was well done. If you played the game you’re probably gonna think its rushed because theres like 4 combat encounters and platforming sections cut out of it but what are you gonna do
