Wow what a season finale this was! Glad to Ashley Johnson. The huge twist with Marlene telling Joel about what they found in Ellie. Joel going all Terminator to get her back and Joel..... really pushing some boundaries there at the end. Overall, what a fantastic season this was. Can't wait for season 2! Shout out to the cast and crew for the amazing work. 

What was your reaction? What do you think was going through Ellie's mind at the end?

Just saw you guys reacted to this. Well, I suppose it's time for me to rewatch the Series with you guys. What a FANTASTIC adaptation and TV Show. Bella and Pedro should get awards thrown at them.

I definitely disagree with Oak here. I don't think the show was very good, and I don't think it's nitpicking to say that, but of course I know that that just sounds biased to other people. To those that have played the game, the show really rings of Druckman trying to patch up plot holes and smooth things over that he wished he could get rid of from the original game because it makes people actually like Joel, so by the time he makes the logical decision here we agree with him instead of hating him like Druckman does. In Druckman's eyes, Joel is a villain for stopping the fireflies from murdering Ellie for a *chance* at making a vaccine or finding a cure. The fireflies never informed her of the need to end her life, they never informed her of the chance of success, the fact that they've failed at this before, etc. There's a difference between sacrificing yourself for a 100% chance versus a 2% chance to make a cure. And Joel never wanted to engage in violence, but the fireflies set the terms. They weren't going to let her walk out of there without a fight. Ultimately, I think the show was done poorly and Druckman shouldn't have been involved because he worked too hard to try and make Joel unlikable and weak to justify his hatred of him, and his tampering with the story led to some pacing issues that really makes it unrealistic for Joel and Ellie to have gotten as close as they did.

Great reactions to The Last of Us season finale! I can definitely agree with all the interpretations mentioned by all of Mason, D-Dave, and Oak. For me, I am unable to decide on one interpretation! 🔵 Feels weird to not have another TLOU episode coming this weekend. I saw someone suggest this video https://youtu.be/z8XN7eoZr0Y?t=165 ( The Last of Us "Alternate" Ending - I would like to second that suggestion. It's a 3 minute portion of a video ( watch the video starting at 2 minutes 45 seconds, the link above should take you to the right start time ) - it gave me a light-hearted wrap-up to season 1. 🟢 Thanks again for introducing me to The Last of Us! I would not have watched it otherwise - but since giving it a try ( I started with S1E3, then went back to S1E1, and then chronological ), TLOU has become a must watch show for me!

I 100% agree with Joel's decision. The fireflies didn't tell Ellie the surgery would kill her, they didn't give her the opportunity of consenting to it. That's more messed up to me than Joel rescuing her from certain non-consensual surgical death, especially considering the surgery isn't even a guarantee to succeed. Also I honestly believe Ellie thought it'd just be a blood test too, that's why they literally drugged her to speed the surgery along against her will. I went from respecting Marlene to kind of hating her, purely for taking Ellie's decision away and then trying to claim the moral high ground. Joel was justified. To me, even if the surgery would succeed, taking a life in such an unethical way still isn't worth it. Especially a kids life. Plus, no soldiers or medical professionals there were innocent in my eyes - they were all participating in taking a childs life against their will. None were innocent. The worst thing Joel did was lie to Ellie, because I believe she knew he was lying, and that lie will only hurt her ability to trust people in the future. So the lie was selfish, but not his actions. He should've been honest :(

its been almost a year, but i gotta say this. Ellie would want to do what's right, but killing your only living sample is the dumbest decision ever and the wrongest. 20 years of no scientific advancement and this guy claim he can make a vaccine with no equipment or further test? BS
