Easiest way of all time to kill Ellie when the room was on fire woulda been to walk out and lock the door and let her burn. Of course he gets stabbed, loses his own giant meat cleaver, and Ellie kills him with it. So dumb.

A lot of the people in this last episode were stupid, which is why they were blindly following a Math teacher who told them what to do. He recruited the dumbest possible, which is why he totally couldn't handle Ellie who is brilliant

I would have moved south, like to kansas or something... easier to go fishing...

It's going to get to the site it needs to get to faster, than if she stuck it in his arm - either way, its in his system, right?

My DH and I were like ... umm maybe this is why he recovered so fast

But remember what he and Tommy were talking about - all those terrible things they did, killing people to survive - he's an expert at killing. Those clowns hunting him were well, just clowns without a clue.

Yeah this episode made it crystal clear that Joel hadn't just like killed people in self defense during the hard years with Tommy and Tess. He has 100% tortured people before. That knee cap thing was very specific. I didn't find it too much of a stretch that he could take out four starving guys one at a time. Felt like a video game but in a cool way.

She could have broken the windows to get out.

Also, how do batteries work 20 years later?

I’m totally loving all of it. Every episode and follow up with the podcast. BUT - I agree about the batteries. When Joel was waking into the barn thing I was rolling my eyes.

Taking four men out when you’ve had no real food or minimal liquid for days, were unconscious for days, had a close to mortal wound on your torso, which is needed for walking, stabbing, pulling maps out, etc - no way. Bodies don’t just pop back like that. He may have had more energy than when he was unconscious, but he’d have no real energy to do all this.

So someone attacked me earlier for nitpicking, but I'm a gonna nitpick. Eliie is a crack shot, can easily wrangle a horse, etc., but she never got training in how to inject medicine such as antibiotics? I'd think that would be FEDRA 101. I actually don't really mind the Ellie heroics. I'm willing to suspend disbelief for that.

But - where was the entire rest of this colony when David was burning down the lodge? And yeah, these people couldn't find anywhere else to settle (or does cold kill/inhibit Cordyceps)?

And there's only one episode left?! Remember when television had 13 or even up to 20 episodes a season?

I like this series and I like Pascal and Ramsey. The hug and "baby girl" at the end were genuinely moving, but yeah, I have some issues.

I was thinking about this and I believe they were in the town. the place with the fire was a lodge in the forest surrounded by snow, it wasn't in the town where they all met up / ate and sat passively together. Remember they are a particularly passive bunch.

I am really loving this show. it's more an apocalypse show and not a zombie show. It's following the video game very well. I can imagine certain scenes on a game, like when they were taking pictures in the Photo Booth. Only one more episode of the season!
