Except the problem is that tons of people are defending Gail's way of giving therapy, which is wrong. That's the biggest issue with all of this that people aren't realizing - people are defending her being self-serving in a therapy session that she's meant to be giving, not having as a patient.

2025-06-08 11:22:10 +0000 UTCI think the 'Can't be saved' comment is a little forced coming from Gail and it feels squeezed in to serve the narrative themes: who can be saved and who can't be saved is recurring throughout the show and game. In Season 1 Tess told Joel to 'save who you can save', we saw Kathleen berating Henry because kids die "All the time" and that it was not right to save the brother at the expense of 'everything'. We know Joel made that same choice, sacrificing 'everything' to save Ellie. Gail's pointed use of this idea of people who "can't be saved" makes me wonder if Joel *had* confided about Ellie being immune to Gail and makes me wonder about the "HOW you did it" (also really pointed).aspect of when Joel killed Gail's husband To me it reads that maybe she knew about Ellie's immunity, and when her husband was exposed Joel had to shoot him, but if he hadn't prevented the cure that wouldn't be necessary making the 'how' extra cruel in her eyes as it could have been prevented. It also gives some more room for her judgement of Ellie as a 'liar'.

The show is not glorifying Gail or telling us that she is in the "right". Gail is clearly a complicated character with a fairly wide moral gray area. Joel, as Ellie's protector in season 1, had a fairly large moral gray area. Was he right in massacring everybody in the hospital to save Ellie? This season explores that question. And is Ellie right in going to Seattle and killing as many people as she needs to to get to Abby? Her and Dina even silently agreed that they would kill any wlf member (i.e., people who have nothing to do with her situation) that got in their way. The show isn't glorifying what Joel did in the hospital or what Ellie is doing in Seattle, and I really don't think that it's promoting or glorifying Gail's way doing therapy. I want to say again that Georgia's criticism of Gail in terms of her therapeutic technique seems fairly accurate, and I wouldn't argue that Gail is the best therapist out there. But saying effectively that the show is damaging therapist reputation with the general public is a bit too far in my opinion.
