…ahh yeah, thank you for that……I did realise that, that had taken away her ‘purpose’ but missed that it had created such a rift between her and Joel…with the incident at the dance as well…?…she’s also pushing for her own independence as well and to feel her own ability to ‘fight her own battles and make her own decisions…’….so as Moira Rose has said, is displaying behaviour and emotions attached to her age as well as all of the survival techniques etc she’s having to implement…

It's the problem that you should
never wake the dead up.


Having a Flame Thrower as a weapon
is a bonus.

Spoiler:

I'm absolutely devastated after that, I didn't even get this emotional playing this part of the game but I welled up watching that episode multiple times.

Spoiler:

Spoiler:

What was sad is she had to watch the killing

Yes that was the sad part, she was finally going to give him a chance and she lost him.

Yes,
She was all ready to start again
him being her great buddy
He was the man who saved her.

I agree that was very sad

Spoiler:

…the flame thrower scene was incredibly tense as he kept on coming while the flames were diminishing to nothing and seemed to be having little impact…

Spoiler:

…it was probably one of the most emotional and brutal TV death scenes I’ve ever watched…I can’t believe that I started to watch season 3 of From just yesterday with the equally devastating, savage torture of Tian-Chen and then Joel today…and both deaths in themselves were intended and designed for not just an end but a tremendous suffering, weren’t they…which brings another level of harrowing and merciless…I knew Joel’s death was written in the video game but I didn’t know when it would come in this season…it made me think of when Negan killed Glenn with Lucille in TWD…and I know that it wasn’t Abby’s intention to have Ellie watch that final blow and beg Joel to get up but that she was there with him and witnessing it was just…a lot…:’(…

Spoiler:

Oh Ammi, they horrific episodes to see two days in a row.
They filmed this slightly different to the game, I don't know if you'd want me to tell you. I think this was a bit more emotional too. It was just as awful as Glenn's death, you're right about that. I wouldn't be shocked if Abby was glad that Ellie watched, she's a very damaged girl.

Spoiler:

…that was another thing that I felt was similar with Negan as well in how emotionally damaged he was and even before Abby has seen her father in the aftermath…?…it hinted at her having some kind of schizophrenia/type psychosis…both very damaged people …

Don't give up, he's still a huge part of the story and a motivator for the characters who continue on in further episodes. It's gruesome but there will still be scenes of beauty and glimpses of humanity.

Spoiler:

Spoiler:

Thanks Jessica that is good to hear, yeah Ammi we watch it as a family my eldest son has played the game so he knew what was coming but didnt say, when it was over we sat there in total silence, just watching the credits roll, never experienced anything like it

Spoiler:

…it was such a brutal killing that we really felt Abby’s relentless hatred with as well…I more like to binge series like this and if I had binged with this…?…then I would have continued straight into the next episode which would have helped to erase the scene so I think that has a real impact for me as well …that those images and that scene has just stayed and will just stay until the storyline can move forward …as we know, having the death so early in the season…there is so much more storyline to cover…I also felt quite annoyed that it felt so hmmmm…unnecessary…I mean, as the fireflies said when they arrived …this wasn’t a small camp, it was a hugely made city and infiltrating it and then finding one person in it was a bit of task and he would have also been protected in his surroundings to a degree…but he just happened to ride out and Abby just happened to need rescuing…when surely the fall would have killed her and then awakening the dead and then him rescuing her…?…just everything falling into place for her in a very unrealistic way…I felt annoyed that, that would be doubtful to happen so it all felt unnecessary and how dare they do that to the storyline and to Joel…

[Ammi]

Spoiler:

…I also feel that a character such as Joel who has such importance and significance in the story…?….deserved a noble death, a death of honour and maybe giving his life to save Ellie or other characters…not that…what the heck are they thinking…!!!!!!…

[Niamh.]

Great episode

Spoiler:

I knew it was coming, I didn't know how brutal it would be though. Gav didn't know that Joel was going to die though so he was shocked. Poor Luke was traumatised all over again

Spoiler:

He has done a lot of bad things and murdered an insurmountable number if people though. We love him because we know him but the people on the other side were doing the same, surviving the apocalypse too! It sucks though, I agree!

Spoiler:

…I guess that’s it though, isn’t it…he’s one of the perspectives and eyes that we’ve seen the story through so that will obviously have a bearing and I do agree/I did agree with Abby that he killed her father in the blink of an eye …?…but her father was part of something as well and that’s what they all are…doing what they feel is best in terms of survival and future…and he was saving Ellie, the same way as Abby would have killed in the same way to save her father in other circumstances…and she wouldn’t have hesitated either…and the death she wanted and chose for him was beyond ‘revenge’ I feel…that was another level of something horrific…
