[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The ending was perfect. Her ‘ok’ could mean so many things. He made the choice every parent would make - f mankind, I’m saving my kid. The whole hospital scene - music, 100% commitment to the goal, everything. The baring of their souls throughout the episode. Everything was a perfect culmination of their entire journey. [/quote]

It was uplifting and kind of depressing at the same time. You have these great moments with the giraffes and the two of them traveling and talking, and then the realization that this lie is going to be massively destructive, and the beginning of the end of their relationship has started. I kind of winced when Joel talked about Sarah - and I felt like Ellie really understood something there too. And that she's kind of afraid of it.[/quote]

Same reaction to Joel talking about Sarah. On one hand he hasn't talked about her for 20 years and it's healthy that he is finally doing that. But on the other hand it's a lot to put on Ellie. She's just a kid and is dealing with a lot of her own trauma. I'm worried that he's opened the floodgates and is going to make her feel like she's a replacement for Sarah. He's the adult and Ellie is the child- I don't want her to have to manage his emotions and play that role. I didn't play the game, but I have to imagine she will eventually learn what he did at the hospital and that she'll be furious that he took her "purpose" from her and saved her as a re do for what he couldn't do for Sarah. I don't agree that dying for a possible cure is Ellie's "purpose" but I think that's how she's going to feel when this conflict comes.

[b]Also wow - the fact that her first question when she woke up in the car was "where are my clothes" really broke my heart. She has a long and hard road ahead of her to process and recover from what David did to her. [/b][/quote]
