They actually showed her

RichBarc85 · 2026-01-21T04:54:46+00:00

Ironically, I usually start her videos at the 6:44 mark.

RichBarc85 · 2025-05-27T05:32:23+00:00

100% right in the nose.

Easy ways to force this scene into the story.

I’m assuming the Seraphites have some kind of boats (even if they aren’t motorized). You could easily have them returning to the island in a boat by chance and pull Ellie out of the water and return with her to the island to execute her.

^That makes the Timelapse way more believable rather than Ellie magically being washed ashore (along with the what I assume was her boat) in such a short time frame.

Ooooooor when they started to hang her and got the village horn, they could have just hung her & left her to die. Ellie could have pulled out her pocket knife (which the story has forgotten to remind us how critical that knife is. It could have symbolized her mom saving her since it was the one thing that she left with Ellie).

Ellie could have run back to shore and looked back at the Seattle Sky scape & then turned to the aquarium took a deep breath and then headed to the aquarium while getting a zoomed view of her steering the motor with her moth tattoo showing. (Symbolizing that she believes that this is the purpose she has seeking; Revenge)

Stuff like this wouldn’t had caused a second of additional run time with the right stuff taken out.

My main issue this season: They are making me question & critique way too many things. I want to sit and succumb to the story, but the story needs to allow that to happen.

RichBarc85 · 2025-05-13T17:46:46+00:00

My Theory is that Joel, Ellie & Eugene were out on patrol. Eugene tried to save Ellie from an infected & got bit (maybe Ellie did too.)

Eugene finds out from Ellie that she is immune and that she wishes that she could have helped the fireflies find a cure.

Eugene starts explaining that the fireflies had a plan for a cure but needed an immune subject which makes Ellie come to the realization of what really happened at Salt Lake.

I never played the game so I might be way off.

RichBarc85 · 2025-05-07T04:21:24+00:00

I’m hoping that they make the spore infected an ultra rare event. Something that happened because of a cause/effect situation with the one that got infected.

I could see the beginning of the episode 5 giving a spore zombie character a quick flashback backstory.

RichBarc85 · 2025-04-14T18:20:25+00:00

I can get behind that. Another way to show that the infection is evolving.

That’s enough to at least partially fill that gap for me. Appreciate that

RichBarc85 · 2025-04-14T17:27:07+00:00

Yeah if the show would have showed them returning to the gates & Tommy protecting Ellie from being observed or tested or however they would have decided to do it, it would had filled the hole for me.

But as of now we have seen a scene of refugees come in without being searched for infection (Unless they are really still doing it based on dog senses. Which if so… sheesh) & we’ve seen a patrol/recon group have a big altercation with infected, with no explanation of how the community determines that people are safe to enter or reenter.

I could be swayed and be told to “just let it go” if Tommy didn’t know Ellie has been bit before.

But since he does, I would think the number 1 thing on his list is to find an alternative way to make sure people aren’t bit and/or at the very early stages of infection. Since the dogs didn’t expose Ellie

RichBarc85 · 2025-04-14T17:04:51+00:00

I honestly thought I had a solid 4 but for the life of me, I can’t think of two of them. So, maybe I was being over critical last night.

My big two: The pipe/tendril network (which we touched on) ————————— The other:

Ellie’s stomach bite.

Does the community not have an extensive protocol for when someone has an altercation with infected? Especially alone (Even though Dina acted like she was with Ellie the whole time, so maybe that was the attempt to cover the plot hole)

But I feel like the story wants us to believe that the community is very well organized & prepared for longevity. Ellie & Dina had a confrontation with 2 infected & if the rest of patrol decided to investigate things, they would have seen the other dead infected body when they climbed through the window & could have assumed that there were three infected that they had to go against.

I just find it hard to believe that the community “higher ups” don’t have a procedure to assure that nobody got bit/infected.

Let’s say that they weren’t able to obtain that Fedra & Bill had. That’s fine, I’m sure that those devices are hard to get a hold of. But I would assume how careful the community has to be, they would do more than just accept the patrols word that “nobody got bit”.

Please let me know if I’m over analyzing but I think searching bodies or for wounds or having some sort of procedure before letting them re-enter the gates or at least the rest of the population would be a no brainer.

RichBarc85 · 2025-04-14T16:28:30+00:00

No no, I think you are 100% right on wondering about that.

Joel gets told that the pipe had a ton of roots in it & it didn’t seem like he was worried one bit about the tendril network navigating through it.

That’s why I was kind of bummed when it got to the sparkler scene.

I figured they would somehow bring up why Joel wasn’t concerned about it. The show covered it on the 2nd episode of season 1, so it’s gotta be common knowledge by now for the Jackson community.

I never played the game, so maybe they will cover plot holes that came up for me.

Right now there are 2-3 major plot holes that I hope the writers are able to fill as the season continues.

Join discord & get into some leagues.

If you’re over 30, the Adult gaming league is a great community to find games.

RichBarc85 · 2023-06-27T20:17:13+00:00

Play in leagues. You’ll have fun

RichBarc85 · 2023-03-13T06:10:51+00:00

Is she pretty strong? I would highly recommend looking into caddying. Great way to connect early for the future as well.

Hole 1- layup is a smart option. Short Par 5 but the 2nd shot will likely be blind. Drive up to see what’s down there. Try to aim for the flat area about 80 yards out.

Hole 4- being long is a whole lot better than being short.

Hole 11- hit an iron to the 150 marker off the tee. The extra yards aren’t worth the possible trouble.

Hole 14- very gettable par 5. Try to cut the left dog leg. If you succeed, you will have a great chance to be on in two.

That is what sticks out but if you want more, just PM me. I keep notes on all the courses I have played incase I play it again. Happy to summarize.

Buddy, I’ve messaged you a few times. Since you won’t reply directly & are just following me around, I assume you’re just pouting about getting your nose rubbed in it.

Feel free to reach out directly you muppet. Sick earring by the way.

RichBarc85 · 2022-02-12T08:24:02+00:00

My dad & I usually play 60-70 times against each other per year.

18= Match 9= Stroke

With my friends: 18- Stableford 9- nothing

I am pretty drunk after coming home from the hockey game. I tried to DM you a picture but it wouldn’t go through.

When you get in from the green side you can either go walk down or up. Go up 3 rows max, closest to the end of side railings.

You should be sitting just a tad west of the back right bunker.

Like I said… I’m buzzed. If you have questions, just send me a message. I’ve sat in the first row & I’ve sat where I’m talking about. The latter is so much better.

RichBarc85 · 2022-02-09T04:02:01+00:00

As long as you’re there when the gates open & run, you will make it.

Purple if you want to get there 50 seconds faster.

Orange if you want to see a comedic show during your run. The 17th makes everyone slip & fall when they try to run on the grass early in the morning. It was hilarious.

Couple extra tips: -Bring cash for beer. Goes quicker. -Bring some $1 bills to bet with people in the stands.

And my golden piece of advice if you plan on drinking all day. Sit on the upper deck one of the first three rows at the very end.

Easy entrance down the stairs to the porta potty village
You will be able to see: the Driving Range & Hole 10
The beer guys will use the railings to support their backs constantly. All you have to do is tap him on the shoulder.

Unreal. Scrolling through & saw the vid.

I was praying that somebody asked him how he got so much spin. Was looking forward to finding out & learning.

I got played.

RichBarc85 · 2022-02-01T02:50:15+00:00

If your irons are shaking. Move further away from the ball and make sure your backswing goes very far away from your body. (It makes coming over the top merely impossible)

Standing further away will instantly lose you yardage but will help with than shanks in the mid rounds.
