This issue goes back years, when Druckman attacked the fans & then turned his wokeness up to 11.

Kaitlyn Dever is cute as frick. Not hot, maybe. But cute. She’s also a good actress.


agreed. And this character is light years from the youngest daughter on Last Man Standing. Hearing her say frick the first time was kind of weird.

She definitely looks better than the human foot who plays Ellie.

Switching to Abby immediately after she kills the beloved series protagonist (to that point) was a poor choice. The story was weak overall, and that was definitely key.

They have you playing as someone you want dead.

Really took me out of it for hours, just going through the motions.

People who liked it tried to make everyone who didn't, feel like they "just didn't get it". But the reality is we did get it, it was just poorly executed. The game was good, but for the story.


I'm just catchinh up on this season and I am so glad that we have this thread without any game spoilers...

I get Abby wanting revenge but it kind of makes zero sense that she would have this crew of people that are ok going to the ends of the earth on this revenge tour with her. Especially with her being a boss bitch to them the entire time. I can see it working in a video game, but it didn't work in the show. It just felt dumb that they were willing to do all that.


Especially given that they all seemed to disagree with Abby's methods. They obeyed her but all were reluctant. If you followed a person around for 5 years looking for her dads murderer, I don't think you'd be so squeemish when you find him and she does what she has planned from the beginning.

the doctor was unarmed and no threat


Maybe I am misremebering buyt didn't the doctor tell joel he couldn't take the girl and grab a scalpel while moving toward him. That seems like a threat to me.

Also as long as the doctor lives, the Fireflies will want Ellie. Without a doctor to perform the surgery, there is no reason to kill Ellie.

The murder was already discussed

Is it about playing as Abby that you consider a spoiler?

Well yes, telling a non gamer that we are going to have a perspective change is a spoiler. Maybe they don't really go that route but I'd have assumed that Ellie and/or Tommy become the main character, not Abby.

yeah, it makes a pretty big difference but Roaaad hates the story and doesn't care about spoiling it.

it could be assumed we wouldn't see Abby again until the last episode without spoilers

So if someone told you the next episode of GOT was going to be from, say, Tyrion's POV. That would spoil your enjoyment of the show?

Wow, ok. Seems like a very minor thing to get upset over, but to each their own.

Then accept my humblest apologies for pointing out a POV change in the game that may not happen in the show, I am so sorry for spoling the show for you. My bad,
