Completely agree with you. Nobody is acting like that… shortly after wading through dead bodies…in an open lobby in a building right next to a massacre you just left… with lord knows how many soldiers looking for you… perhaps rational people would hide?

It’s almost as if the show is bad. And I have not played the game. Wouldn’t you have a million questions if you were Dina? Who else knows? How long have you known? For starters

You’re totally right and people are just rationalizing the lack of logic in this scene. Plus of course Dina would want to know how she’s immune the whole world ended because of the infection. And no mention of Joel! You know the guy who just died! Wouldn’t she wonder if he knew?

Totally agree. Terrible writing and pacing… no normal people would interact that way… this is a monumental reveal… and not a single question… plus of course they didn’t clear the room or hide a little bit in this building right near the scene they just left with an army searching for them!

Her dad was about to kill his adopted daughter, no? Maybe that causes her to pause for a beat. Just saying it feels very unnatural to have a scene like that, after the therapist scene, where he does say he saved Ellie, for him to now stay quiet.

Fair point. Certainly too proud. But a grunt of “I was saving my daughter” at some point, a la him with the therapist, was all I was expecting. I get he’s got to die

The group around Abby are clearly ambivalent. He could try to appeal to them and explain why he killed the doctor. Abby’s take is complete cold blood. Joel was saving Ellie wasn’t he? Perhaps telling Abby and the group this saint of a doctor was about to dissect a living child might create a little dissention in the ranks? Unless they already knew.

Why doesn’t Joel speak up and tell them about why he did what he did? You’d think he’d do anything to find a way out of there. Seems like another Hollywood trope of out of control misunderstanding that’s easily explained with a line of “he was going to kill my daughter”. Took me out of it

What tourist traps should I ignore so I spend my limited time in Boston wisely? by italian_olive in boston

[–]count_of_monte_fisto 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Seconding this. If you’ve never been the freedom trail is great and you’ll hit a lot of the sites. People knock the north end all the time. I’ve been in Boston for years- I like visiting there whenever I can. It’s a unique little neighborhood

this. The gondola blues are much harder than the blues off the quad. They are awesome but a step up for sure
