After this latest epi, lots of discussion online rehashing the hospital moment (I guess both in the game and in the show) again.

It's a very head and heart thing. What I've found of interest is seeing how audiences are responding just online, in their wrestling over the challenges in it.

People who characterize themselves as being pretty individualist, yet have the experience as parents/nurturing and support figures, vibe strongly with "I'd do it all over again" line, of what Joel did.

People who're more communal in their outlook and also have similar experiences likewise vibe strongly, but feel troubled.

All ofc have the ease of looking at it from a step back, and not in the pressure or immediacy of the moment.

I feel a lot of where people fall on this road is based on what their heart felt impressions of Joel are.

I can’t recall if Ellie was the only immune or if there were a few others? Also, I swear the cure was a mere chance by operating on Ellie and not a foregone conclusion. Either way probably splitting hairs on the whole situation.

The journey makes the destination in the first game. The fallout of choices makes the second.
