Question for the people who are US Americans or just good at accents: does David (game or show doesn't matter, either version is fine) have one? Is it recognizable? I know that the show actor appeared in El Camino and spoke in exact same way he does in TLOU, so... does he have a New Mexico accent or just the standard, new-Hollywood one?

I don't know if you're ready to hear this (I have a hard time coming to terms with this), but if it wasn't for David intervening when the clicker suddenly appeared in front of Ellie out of nowhere, the girl would have likely died before even getting a chance to make it back to Joel.

When the clicker appears, everything moves in a frenetic blur. Ellie's body locks up, her mind frozen as she stares in mute horror at the oncoming threat. Paralyzed by fear and already overwhelmed by the strange man's proximity, the poor girl can't even muster the strength to lift her weapon in self-defense in time. Her heart pounds a staccato rhythm, the sound deafening in her ears as the clicker bounds towards her. In her weakened, famished state, Ellie's survival instincts fail her. She remains rooted to the spot, a hapless victim, a sitting duck as the creature closes in. When suddenly, a deafening boom shatters the air—the man fires a gun at the clicker, the weapon Ellie didn't even know he still had on him. He saves her life.

I believe this scene is far more pivotal and sensitive than we perhaps realize. It perfectly captures Ellie's youth, naivety, fear and vulnerability. The girl is forced to crouch by a campfire with a complete stranger, having no choice but to trust him since her desperation to save the only person she's ever deeply cared about leaves her no other options. The tension is palpable and Ellie clutches her gun, thinking she has the upper hand after she coerced the man into handing it over, providing a fragile illusion of control in a terrifying situation.

But as David pulls out his gun, a chilling realization hits us—he's had complete control over her all along. At any moment, he could've drawn the pistol concealed at his waist and threatened or even killed her. But he chose not to. We know why. The man savors her fear, derives twisted pleasure from seeing her so defenseless and fragile. This dance of false friendship is all part of his sadistic game. He gets off on slowly manipulating her, chipping away at her defenses, playing her like a fiddle. Pulling the gun would've been too easy, too quick. That's not how he gets his thrills. He much prefers this deliciously dark mind game.

Ellie's mind races as the realization dawns on her—she had been so naive, so trusting. Her conversation with this man and the shocking discovery that he has been armed the entire time sends her thoughts spiraling. She berates herself for her failure, for not insisting that David prove he was truly unarmed. But in her innocence, it was simply too much for her young mind. Joel had always drilled into her the importance of not trusting others, yet here she is, on the brink of facing the danger alongside a complete stranger, allowing him into her personal space. The inner conflict of her actions and the harsh realities she's faced are undoubtedly swirling through her thoughts as she confronts the consequences of her misplaced trust.

I feel physically ill when I think about how close we came to losing Ellie. If not for David's timely intervention, I know she wouldn't have survived. But it goes beyond that—without those antibiotics, Joel would have succumbed too. He would have died consumed by self-loathing and regret. The poor man would have lamented his failure to protect the young girl. His mind would have been haunted with terrible thoughts of Ellie's fate—wondering if she was still out there somewhere, lost and alone, injured or killed because of him.

It's a stark reminder of the delicate nature of fate, how one seemingly insignificant event can have far-reaching and profound consequences. Who can say what horrors would have befallen if that wretched man hadn't been armed, or if he hadn't found the compassion in his black heart to spare the girl in that moment? The butterfly effect at its most extreme.

The top tv episodes of 2023 are so queer

[bluberryfields]

This is what happens when you're raised by TV and trained in literary analysis

Beyond the crushing heartbreak of that finale, one thing in particular has stuck with me when I look at it in the context of S2 as a whole.

He lays out their relationship, "We're a team, a group. A group of the two of us. And we've spent our existence pretending that we aren't."

He then turns his head away and says, "I mean, the last few years, not really."

He pauses here, facing the interior of the bookshop. Really looks it up and down.

Turns back, "And I would like to spend" before choking on his words and looks toward the window. He can't finish saying something like "And I would like to spend eternity with you" because that's too much, too fast, for both of them.

But it's that "last few years" bit that has firmly lodged itself in my very broken brain.

According to Gaiman, it's been "a few years" since the end of Season 1. Armageddon has been averted. Heaven and Hell have reluctantly retreated. Crowley and Aziraphale have been effectively cut loose from their "sides," leaving them to form their own side.

So at the start of Season 2, we get a glimpse of the “fragile existence” they have carved out for themselves. To me, the biggest difference that we see is how they exist together in front of others. Going to the coffee shop, the pub, and the other shops along the street that Aziraphale has lived on for over 200 years. And don’t forget how they act in front of Nina, Maggie, and sweet, dim Muriel.

At the coffee shop, Aziraphale stammers a bit when Nina asks who Crowley is, but he still seems to have affection in his voice when he says, "We go back a long time."

Compared to Shakespearian "He's not my friend! We've never met before. We don't know each other!" panic, this is an incredible difference.

Of course, each time, Crowley is cool and cheeky and does nothing to indicate that they aren't a pair. Though, of course, he does deny it when Nina asks about Aziraphale being his side piece. “He’s not my bit on the side! He’s far too pure of heart to be anyone’s bit on the side.” And refers to him as an “Angel [swallows]I know.”

When they go the pub, Crowley's joy at doing something together in public that they do not normally do is super cute, including his cheeky order for Aziraphale's sherry. Then, when bringing the drinks over to the socially trapped Aziraphale, he greets Mr. Brown with a truly adorable, "Hello" and a signature DT smile. Then upon hearing how “excited” Mr. Fell is to host the meeting, he looks down and says, “Oh? You astonish me.” while Aziraphale sips his sherry and squirms.

We also watch as Crowley follows Aziraphale as he goes to each shop and talks to the owners about the meeting/secret ball. In theory, Crowley has no reason to tag along, and he certainly doesn’t help sway anyone who doesn’t want to/can’t go. He goofs around at the magic shop. He splays out on the bench, chin on hand, looking for all the world a husband waiting for his wife to pick out a dress at the department store. They are so married it’s ridiculous.

Finally, their behavior in front of Muriel while inside their sanctuary. Crowley sits on the arm of Aziraphale’s chair, somehow looking supremely comfortable on the old-fashioned furniture. He folds up those gloriously long limbs and presses himself as close as possible.

He smiles and plays along with Aziraphale’s coaching of Muriel in her disguise. Calls him Angel and asks to speak in private. And at the end, during the awful wait while Aziraphale talks with The Metatron, Crowley cleans up the shop and tells Muriel that he and Aziraphale will need some “us” time after all this. No beating around the bush. 

Without oversight, they can be openly together and happy. But Heaven just can’t let that happen.
