Is e7 the finale?

…yes, this is the final one of this season now…

ah

….it was a very good final episode…:love:..

I know this might be a bit controversial but

If it helps (though this is an actual spoiler)

I think they can work around the physical differences in the character to be fair, though they'll need to lean more into her being a good tactician/leader to justify the comments about her being such a great soldier, since she's not in straight up "super soldier territory" like game Abby.

I think one of the saddest parts about it is that we'll (surely) never get to see show Abby kill a clicker with her bare fists like she can on a few occasions in game. Just swaggering around punching them square in the throat until they die :joker:.

They've DEFINITELY set up Abby vs "The Rat King" though - which is a big/messed up infected in the hospital basement, I suspect the show version is going to be (...partly... :umm2:...) the son of that ALF deputy lady, who she had to trap down there (and Ellie saw starting to look suspiciously Rat-Kingy).

Spoiler for what the Rat King is if you don't want to know

One thing I will say, they did a great job with poor Mel, I think you're supposed to feel bad for Mel in-game too but Game Mel is frankly kind of irritating so while what happens is obviously horrible... it's less horrible... because I don't think Mel herself is a very likeable character.

Poor show-Mel seemed like a normal girl who got caught up in something she really wanted nothing to do with, pretty much dragged along because all of her friends were involved.

Also (graphic game-image, not a spoiler if you've seen the finale)

Yet another question/plot hole tho...

How did Abby find the theatre in the show? In the show, Ellie's trying to get them to point out where Abby is on a map that's there in the aquarium. In the game, Ellie's trying to make them point to where Abby is in HER map that she brought with her - in the aftermath of what happens, she accidentally leaves her map behind, and the theatre is marked on that map (so when Abby finds her friends dead she knows exactly where to go). It's a very neat way to tie up a potential loose end that, for some reason, they didn't do in the show. I can't think of any reason for that really. Everthing else plays out the same, except that it's not Ellie's map.

I would imagine they'll show how she found them next season when we get it played out from Abbys POV

I'm sus that it'll be like how Jessie found them - "I just did OK?? Shut up Ellie you idiot!! God damn!" :umm2:

:laugh:

Well if we were getting a Jessie POV season we'd probably know :fist:

Funnily enough I remember people really wanted a "Jessie DLC" for the game where you'd play as him from arriving in Seattle up to when he meets up with Ellie (in the game Ellie and Jessie run into each other out in the city fighting WLF's, Dina is in a sort of "control centre" role back at the theatre). And also the order of arrival in Seattle in the game was;

Tommy left for Seattle first (on his own), Tommy's wife then gave Ellie and Dina the supplies/horse to go after Tommy, Jessie found out and went after them on his own (so arrived in Seattle last, alone). So there's a whole day+ of Jessie vs the WLF in the city.

Also Tommy has basically gone full terminator, while sneaking around a WLF area you can overhear them talking about how there's some "unknown soldier" in the city sniping dozens of WLF and they can't find him -- implied to be Tommy on a full on killing spree :joker:. I kind of hope they show that.
