[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Great finale and season. However, as someone who did not play the game, the moral dilemma aspect didn’t strike me so much as I watched the ending. The way I viewed everything, they were going to kill Ellie based on a doctor’s assertion that he could MAYBE create a vaccine. And then that vaccine MIGHT save lives but there’s no assurance that it would lead to the restoration of normal government, since things were already fubar worldwide. So in my mind yeah, it would be reasonable for Marlene and team to pump the brakes and look for a way to develop a vaccine without killing Ellie. They know how she became immune, and it did not require anyone’s brain to be removed, so it just does not logically follow that this was the only way to proceed. So in my viewing it felt like Joel was completely justified in his actions.

I get that I am making my own inferences here but I’m just explaining how I perceived it.[/quote]

I agree with this.[/quote]

That’s how evolving science is, though. There is no way to tell and sometimes people need to be sacrificed for the greater good or possible greater good. [/quote]

Or they just take blood samples and work with that.[/quote]

Exactly!  By killing Ellie, they would have effectively killed any further hope of working with her DNA.  Seems incredibly drastic and rash to proceed with the surgery.  Joel did the right thing.[/quote]
