But yeah I mean as a thematic thing it's definitely there, that Abby is not the kind of girl Owen can imagine settling down and starting a family with, he's torn between competing desires

I might have to replay the scene where he tells Abby Mel is pregnant but I always assumed Mel was a rebound and the pregnancy was unintended

I mean because of Parallelism Owen clearly only found out about Mel's pregnancy when they reached Jackson, probably the previous day, and he was with her for four or five months before, so she's not *just* a rebound

I don't really think that they have The Pill in post apocalyptic Seattle although I guess if anyone did it would be Jerry's supposed top student. So I'm not sure what an "unplanned" pregnancy is, in a world where they probably mostly just have the rhythm method

I mean they do have various drugs and some of the conversation re: Dina indicates that abortion is still an option, but yeah, it's not explained if any contraception exists But judging by Owen's consistent lack of enthusiasm I'm guessing he and Mel were not hoping to conceive

Man imagine if they tried to implement post-apocalyptic birth control as a game mechanic Crafting an IUD out of scavenged lengths of copper wire and bottles of rubbing alcohol

random unrelated peeve, ellie crafting three-use silencers on the go is just crazy, silencers are actually extremely basic items to make and it would be trivial to have one that just worked reliably forever

Oh yeah I went in hard on how everything being breakable is obviously a thematic thing about the feeling of futility etc that suffuses the setting In terms of realism it's absolutely ridiculous

"Disposable shivs" are a concept from prison movies and shit Environments where you're under surveillanec and *not allowed* to have a knife It is completely absurd that Joel somehow doesn't have an actual, normal knife (but Ellie somehow does)

Ellie losing her unbreakable switchblade in 2 is a really big deal, it's like Excalibur being thrown into the lake That thing was the most powerful weapon in this entire universe

Will it shatter if touched by anything other than the delicate touch of a lesbian?
