Yeah that seems to be the main complaint it’s not the full game so it’s incomplete

the theatre confrontation ending is a perfect cliffhanger on a platter. i can't see them messing up. do the whole intense scene and end it on

we let you live...and you wasted it

trying to think of ways they can fumble it. maybe if it just shows abby outside and then cuts to black

I mean think show watcher only I’d be pissed if it ends there

91 is crazy.

I wouldn’t be mad at this

Edit: yea coming from playing the game that’s great cliffhanger. I guess I could see show only mfs being heated tho

Would be crazy to wait 2 years for resolution for that ngl

They’re saying 2 years between seasons??

Yea go head n play the game atp

I think I’ll like this more than the game

Horrific scene late in the season finale

Nora or Jesse?

Another classic otw

I feel like if they squeezed the entire game in to one season, people would complain that everything felt rushed

If the biggest complaint is that “it’s an incomplete story” , then we are in for a great season

Sunday - It begins

Also after this season yall are gonna realize Bella was a great pick for this role , and imma be itt talking my s*** the entire time

But this thread told me she can’t be good because she doesn’t look like Ellie and acting is irrelevant

Is that Rob

S*** gonna get crazy scary stupid hilarious AND wicked wicked wicked

From collider

However, perhaps the most impressive work here comes from Druckmann, who directs the penultimate episode, and brings to life some truly memorable moments from his game in stunning fashion. It quite possibly could be the best episode of the series so far, as well as one of the best television episodes of 2025.

thinking nora or abby/dina in the theatre

I need this

this is exciting, i was expecting to read this praise for the Mark Mylod directed episode

That cliffhanger gonna make people so mad more than the “big moment”
