Thank you. I had the unpopular opinion that the Firefly massacre was completely undeserved deaths. Those people were trying to find a cure and Ellie consented to the operation. Joel was selfishly protecting a misplaced sense of fatherhood when he killed those people. 

Except she didn't. She didn't even know there was going to be an operation. She was unconscious when she got there and if they had had their way she never would've woken up again.

Now if she had been conscious and consented to things that would have changed things, but she wasn't and she didn't.

I actually wouldn't have a problem with the whole situation if Joel had killed only the combatants in the building, but the doctors were unarmed and pleading for their lives. He DID NOT have to kill them, but he chose to do so anyways. That's when he crossed the line for me.

Now, actions bring consequences. The Fireflies got the consecuences for their actions and now Joel got the consequences of his.
