Whoa, not having played TLoU that season finale went hardcore all of a sudden. Joel went back to John Wick mode from the last ep and just stayed there.

Yeah it didnt really ramp the stakes up as they got closer, it just ramped then and there.
I think they needed more eps it felt compressed with the special/flashback eps taking up a big chunk.

With the game the ending worked because you'd invested hours killing your way to the hospital, and the fight to the doc really felt earned.


Other notes - Poker Face, didnt like the pilot, or the leads shtick particularly much but the singular eps that followed.. the mini stories, acting, cinematography etc top notch.

Also Shadow + Bone - boom s2 straight back into it. Witcher Bone take note, thats how you make corny teen fantasy stories not shit.

The Fireflies fucked up big time. They were obviously fixated and didn't stop to actually try and verify what they thought might work. No sense killing the one possible cure on hope and hypothesis.

And they literally recognise that Joel is hyper-capable, then try send him on his way against his wishes.

Yeah, it felt really quick. I think that is some of the issue with shorter seasons. I think they were meant to have been together for close to a year (maybe 10 months when trying to look online), but it doesn't give the feeling of that.

And then suddenly in the last episode, he goes full on.

On the flip, surely the doctors would do a whole lot more testing and everything first.

Yeah, it's great. The acting is so good, so is the pacing. I like the addition of Patrick Gibson, it's unfortunate The OA got canned.
