beautiful television show about people who decide when it comes down to it that their personal connection is more important than the future of the human race. travel halfway across the country and back and kill a ton of people and don't even justify it by saving the world. fundamentally a story about the selfishness of survival and love. is it good to be like this? objectively, probably not. but it is human

#tlou #q #like. the thing joel does is objectively cruel and violent and wrong. but he does it because he's regained his ability to connect and love #would the world be a safer place . better off for whoever's left in it. if he had allowed ellie to die? almost certainly #but human connection wins always. isnt that a tragedy! isnt that a gift!#i get the impression that when she's asking him if he's telling the truth. and she says 'okay' . she knows he's lying #she might not KNOW know. but she suspects. and she is susceptible to the magic and tragedy of connection also. she wants family #she wants love. she wants someone to care so much for her that they will throw the whole world away to ensure her safety
