Fantastic and heartbreaking episode. Sadly, there is no other way to potentially make the cure without killing Ellie. No middle ground is possible. Ellie's blood isn't special. It's the mutation of the fungus that literally grows inside her brain. Joel's decision is purely a selfish one. He knows that Ellie would've probably wanted to sacrifice herself to make this cure. Joel also 100% believes that the cure is possible, which makes his decision to kill all these people at the hospital so much darker. He didn't need more than a split second to decide what to do. His immediate response was "find someone else". It's the trolley problem. Sacrifice one for the sake of (potentially) millions? Would it even work? Who knows. It's certainly understandable why Joel would do this, though. He lost his daughter 20 years ago, and only Ellie. Only this relationship has healed this gruesome wound, and he is certainly not going to let another daughter die. If I was in his situation, I would also do whatever I could to save my child. That doesn't mean it's right, though. The Fireflies and Marlene fucked up, though. They never gave Ellie a choice, probably out of fear for what she'd say. And if she said no, they would probably not respect her decision. However, Ellie probably would have said yes. The "okay" at the end is also incredibly powerful. It can mean so many different things. My interpretation is somewhere along the lines of: "Okay, I will choose to believe you because I love you, but I know that you're not telling the truth." People have debating the ending of The Last of Us since it came out in 2013, and people will continue to do so. Joel might be the protagonist, but he might also be a villain. It depends on your perspective.

Also, the episode title for the finale directly follows on from the episode title of the Season premiere: Premiere: "If you're lost in the darkness"... Finale: ..."Look for the light" It's the Firefly motto.

It's been really cool to see non-gamers get to experience what an emotional roller-coaster and masterpiece the story of The Last of Us is. Those of us who played the game originally back in 2013 were completely taken aback by this ending, & it's cool that the rest of the world gets to experience it as well. I definitely wonder, what Roger Ebert would've thought about this show & particularly this ending, considering he famously believed video games weren't art, and vert vindictive about this position, but it also came from a position of not understanding, nor caring to understand video games as a medium because they just didn't interest him, & pretty much all the films based on video games that came out during his lifetime were pretty awful, which likely continued to justify his close-minded position about games as a medium when that was the only exposure he had to them, not unlike people who blindly believe all anime is hentai or whatever. It's a shame, but alas, more people today are being awoken to the potential of what video games as a storytelling medium is capable of, which is exciting. Glad this is opening doors to seeing what stories games are capable of, because I'd say most people over the age of, let's say, 50, have a pretty close minded view on video games and seem to think they are just toys. Glad this show can prove to others how close minded that mentality is.

You're right. This show was soooo good and I'm shocked it was a game originally.
