What happened to Ellie being “activated”?!

In the EXTRAS for Episode 1, Season 1, one‑hit‑wonder Craig Mazin practically celebrates Ellie being “activated” by violence. He literally says it in the behind‑the‑scenes video. So what happened to that version of Ellie — the one who was supposed to be dangerous, sharp, and unflinching?

Instead, by Season 2, she’s written like someone’s exhausted suburban “dad”. All that early promise (the edge, the ferocity, the spark) flushed straight down the toilet and into a septic tank. The show teased a badass and then handed us a watered‑down character who feels nothing like the Ellie we were told to expect. Dina ended up being the badass in S2!!

What do you think it will average on Metacritic?

We should start seeing reviews on the 25th… perhaps. What do you think it the average grade/score will be on Metacritic?
