The storytelling on the show is so intricate & tight, and the big mystery reveals so carefully timed, I don’t see how a spinoff would really work, at least until the series ends, though the characters are strong enough.

Sorry, gotta disagree yet again with your all or nothing positioning. As someone with a few family members challenged with mental illness, any reasonable thing done to de-stigmatize and normalize conversations about it is a good thing in my book. Sure, yes, we don’t have enough societal and government institutional…

Well I, for one, am glad it’s a slow news day.

As a straight white man....yeah, let’s give it a try honestly. Not like we’ve been doing a bang up job thus far. 

“You can never be woke enough—that’s the problem...It’ll eventually get to ‘straight white men are not allowed to talk.’”

Hey, what good are all the other freedoms if you don’t have the freedom to ruin the lives of people you don’t even know?

No, no...I’m reliably assured it was Hillary’s fault for being shrill.

Going exactly as they planned. Get a moron into office and have him hire a bunch of more hateful morons. And now they’re getting him out of the picture since they don’t need him anymore.

Talk about your “activist judges”.  Once again, the right tells on itself with ever accusation it makes.

Republican justices are just making policy on their own at this point.

Trump picked some ignorant, sons of bitches to have a life long job F’n up other peoples lives.

What a fuckin' wuss. Do you have any idea the protests abortion providers and patients have to wade through? You can't take the heat for one day? 

We can all see where this is going. Let me offer a pre-emptive “Fuck that guy!”

“Kacsmaryk will issue an injunction to stop the distribution of this drug nationwide”

Exactly. Joel should’ve just said “Then why didn’t you fucking ask her?!” At least Cannibal David gave her a choice at first.

THANK YOU. I screamed “What about a biopsy??” at least 3 times. lol

My 1st thought were “why are you telling the guy who was just able to singlehandedly get her across the country, thus has been in and can get out of some serious shit, the details to your “Well it will kill her, but we have this working theory on what is going on with her that might be right, might not, but hey we’ll…

Almost wish we could have gotten more of her. That episode was so short - they could have had 10 minutes at the beginning before the infected is chasing her into a barn house, just showing her sneaking out with Marlene and the soldiers (or trying to). 

This. Ellie didn’t consent, even if she did tell Joel she wanted to see it through earlier. Without full knowledge of what that means (ie: her death), she cannot make an informed choice or give consent. And like you, I wasn’t nearly confident enough in Marlene’s theory of the “cure” to sacrifice a child for it. (Plus,…

Does Joel go overboard in reclaiming Ellie: Yes.
