And, as a hunter, generally you want to field dress an animal as soon as you can to avoid risk of the meat spoiling. I get that they're in the cold and clearly not picky about what they eat...but it makes no sense to sit around talking while rigamortis sets in.

Make him field dress the deer instead listening to him monologue about how he's a savior and can save her too. What did she get out of listening to him beat his chest about how awesome him and his starving community are.
The other dude had to hike 4 miles roundtrip. That's plenty of time to hold David at gunpoint and say, "here's a knife, get busy."
Instead of leaving with drugs and half the meat (after previously showing her and Joel had little-to-no food left) she departed with no food.

Great episode! Probably my first or second favorite so far. Loved Ellie.
Not ashamed to say but I loved the brutality of this episode and how it started out low…killing a deer, putting a syringe in a wound, then built…Joel torturing and killing those two guys…then the crescendo of Ellie breaking fingers, cleaver to the neck, and going ape**** stabbing David like 35 times…all this against the backdrop of a group resorting to cannibalism.
Ellie was incredible this episode. I know she's been annoying at times, but a lot of that showed her innocence. And now we see that juxtaposed against a little girl pushed to her absolute limits to, first, take care of her and Joel, and then literally fight for her life.
The ending was touching and, as a dad, "baby girl" totally got me in the feels.
Minor annoyances:
- she said they could have half the deer but gave them all of it.
- I realize it is cold, but the deer sits for hours outside with no one making any attempt to gut it.
- Joel miraculously gains all his strength back just in time to take out 3 guys. Lol
I did as well as it would stop anyone in their tracks ESPECIALLY after seeing the telltale marks on her arm. It was the perfect distraction for the preacher to take a step back and for the other guy to stop holding her down to give her access to the cleaver.Quote:
using the 'you're infected' distraction to get the cleaver into that guy and get away was a cool move.
Lol. You seem to be taking this personally or way too seriously. And that's weird to me.

She's a scared kid who isn't thinking straight.
She had the gun but was scared ****less and he still had control of the whole situation.
And he didn't even field dress the deer.
But does it matter in sub freezing temps?

I haven't read all the replies yet. Has anyone given Ellie props for not making the classic horror movie mistake of stabbing the bad guy once and assuming he's dead? I loved that she made damn sure he was dead.

We know she has already killed someone who attacked Joel. We also know she just took down a deer from 75-100 yards. We know she beat the **** out of some other kid when she was in the FEDRA camp. She didn't back down from Marlene when she was chained up either. She's a kid, but she's not a braindead, meek, pitiful, helpless idiot that can't defend herself - as evidenced by the end of the episode.
If those two guys were going to kill her, don't you think they would have done it when they were 1)armed and 2)outmanned her?
If you want to defend a fictional character, fine. I simply said she could have done something differently. And that point is valid. She could have. They chose to write it differently and that's fine too.
I said it was a minor annoyance for me. Far and away I loved the episode.

Nevermind, they shot that in Alberta. But a couple shots of this mall look identical.

I know this is the non game thread, and someone might have mentioned this already, but the guy that fetched the medicine is Troy Baker. He's the voice actor for Joel in the games.

He's been in a TON of games. Pretty mindblowing how much range he has. And he can act on screen!

I made no such assumption.
It is a discussion. I brought an entirely plausible alternative that someone, anyone could have done in a similar situation. You brought a straw man argument that she's a scared kid incapable of thinking "maybe I can get this guy to give me food AND medicine".
Did you write the story? What's it to you if I criticize it?
