They did a good job with this for us non game players who had no idea this was coming because the promotional material has a scene in it where Ellie is pissed at Joel and says "you swore". That scene hasn't been shown in the show yet so I kept thinking he was going to get out of that mess somehow. But now it's clear that interaction between them already happened and will be shown later as a flashback more than likely. She found out what he did earlier on somehow and that must have been the real reason she was so pissed at him all the time, and not just teenage angst.
Anyways, they just killed off the main reason to watch this show, at least for me. This would have been like killing Rick Grimes in season 2 of TWD. I guess we'll see how they do without Joel going forward, unless there is some other twist coming I just don't see another character that can carry the show liek Pedro/Joel.
