With only one episode to go and assuming the season will end with the theather scene with tommy losing an eye and jesse dying wonder how much time we will get to see ellie kill the pregant woman and her husband and their dog.
hopefully to go all in and make her kill them
Mixed feelings about this episode myself, but I am a big fan of the changes regarding Salt Lake City. I hadn't even ever considered excising that section and replacing it with Ellie simply putting 2 and 2 together, but it works so, so much better.
Ellie crossing part of the country to check the hospital out again by herself only for her and Joel to go back home by horse and separate wouldn't make any sense. It's not like she just rode that horse around a corner... It makes sense from a gameplay perspective to go across that corridor by yourself and all that...but for a TV show? Not really.Mixed feelings about this episode myself, but I am a big fan of the changes regarding Salt Lake City.

And it's true...it works for the game. Imagine watching that scene on season or even season 4 (so in 2 or 4 years lmao)They said they put the end scene in last night's episode essentially because they thought its impact would diminish if they saved it for the end of the show, which will be several years down the line.
She is the 13th goblin.
I think it could go either way, but I don't blame them for not wanting to waste that moment at a time where their TV only fans don't care anymore.And it's true...it works for the game. Imagine watching that scene on season or even season 4 (so in 2 or 4 years lmao)
The clickers are the true winners here, they don't have to see that......
Not much, they are planning to head home- Tommy brags about a diamond ring he found and wants to give Maria, he goes into the lobby to grab it to show Jesse/Ellie, Ellie and Jesse are chatting in the meantime (him talking about doing his general "good guy" thing about supporting his friends, etc) when Abby walks in on Tommy rummaging for the ring and starts the confrontation- Ellie/Jesse hear the commotion and come running in... and you know what happens.Can anyone jog my memory. What happens at the theater before the big confrontation?
If they show the theater(which the preview shows they're going to) but don't show the actual confrontation then I wonder where they're going to leave it off. Because they haven't even introduced Lev yet and he's important obviously because he stops Abby from killing Dina. Would they really do the theater in the finale without the big moments from the theater?Not much, they are planning to head home- Tommy brags about a diamond ring he found and wants to give Maria, he goes into the lobby to grab it to show Jesse/Ellie, Ellie and Jesse are chatting in the meantime (him talking about doing his general "good guy" thing about supporting his friends, etc) when Abby walks in on Tommy rummaging for the ring and starts the confrontation- Ellie/Jesse hear the commotion and come running in... and you know what happens.

That's when you're playing as Abby. When you're playing as Ellie I believe the screen just fades to black when Abby comes in.. It wouldn't make sense to do that major part before you get Abby's point of view, which we'll get next season.Really loving this season. It's not as good as the game, but the game is the greatest game of all time and the show was never going to reach those heights.
They'll stop it at the same place the game did.
queue credits, end of season.Abby shoots Tommy, kills Jesse, points the gun at Ellie and says "I let you live... and you wasted it."
The Lev stuff doesn't come into play until they circle back to the theater after playing as Abby from the beginning and letting you experience the path that led her there.

Right, I forgot that occurs in both perspectives. I went back and Youtube'd it and one small thing you put in there was in Ellie's scenario Tommy doesn't get shot. Jesse does though. It fades to black before Abby shoots Tommy. So I guess SUnday night we lose Jesse. Tommy hunting Abby and Manny happens in Abby's scenario I believe. SO we'll probably get that in season 3.You're misremembering. The scene in the first spoiler I mentioned happens from Ellie's POV, just before the game switches back to Day One from Abby's POV.
If it's contractual with Pedro, they could've just filmed it now and not show it until the ending. In fact, more shows / sequels should do this, to where they're actually the age they're meant to be in the flashback.Yeah. There's only two reasons I can think of why they did it tonight. Because it was included in the ending of the game for a reason and by design like you said. Not just for the hell of it. Like I mentioned previously, something contractual with Pedro. Where if he's off the show they can't have him in future scenes. I don't know if that's a thing or not. Or given it's very clearly going to be a 4 season series now, they thought the scene wouldn't have nearly as big of an impact in the show 4 years from now(2 year gap between seasons 2 and 3 and seasons 3 and 4) after no one's seen Pedro in it for 4 years. It's different in the game because it's just a matter of hours. And maybe they thought that by the time the show ends, likely in 2029, having one scene with Pedro at the very end would fall flat given no one's seen him in the dam show in years.
That's just my guess. Maybe they'll add some other emotional part in the ending to replace it. Not sure what though.
Neil confirmed in an interview it was the 4 year gap. Not seeing Joel for 4 years and then at the end they spring that scene upon people, many who probably would have forgotten by that point, it just wouldn't have the same impact as in the game they thought. I can't say they're wrong. Now we'll see what, if anything, they put in the ending.If it's contractual with Pedro, they could've just filmed it now and not show it until the ending.

That was a great juxtaposition/re-contextualization where Maria says to Joel family helps each other out, then cut to Seth saying "it's a family event you dykes" to Ellie and Dina.
One scene that I didn't get was when Joel and Ellie were walking back from the museum and Joel says "this is nice, we should do it more often," Ellie stops in her tracks to stare at a pond for a few seconds. What was that all about?
She is the 13th goblin.
I like Eugene back story. It was okay episode, better than others. Mixed feeling about how they changed the story line though.
What specifically?I never played the game, but how did this go in the game?
