Comment on 'The Last of Us' Season 2 Finale Viewership Down 55% From Season 1

What tripped me up in the last few episodes was how characters magically teleport to places and appear at the exact time they’re needed. I get that some of them happen exactly as in the game, but it’s weird in live action. Examples: Ellie getting out of the basement and Abby finding them in the theater.
Also, that segway on the Scar island in the last episode was weird. I get that they were trying to show she was given a chance at life yet she decides to continue on due to her obsession with revenge, but they could’ve done it better than that (i.e. She sees the explosions on the island from afar, the boat capsizes, she manages to get back on with a slight regret and hesitation to continue, looks at the shore of where she came from, then ultimately decides to continue on to the aquarium).

They wanted to show us that even the sephradites kids are savages killers so it’s OK for yhe WLF to kill them because everyone is bad.

I mean, you can tell they had to rush, just look at that scene in the finale here where Ellie capsizes, is almost hung and gutted and then sets off again on her revenge quest in the span of
5 minutes. Actually, make that 3 minutes, I just timed it.scytale@lemm.ee 2 days ago
Yeah, which was a weird way to do it. They could’ve just showed a quick scene of Isaac and co. storming the island then Ellie seeing some explosions from the boat.
