As someone who hasn't played the games, I'm really not interested in Abby's story. I loved the series so far, but season 2 will probably be the last one I watched for that reason.

I agree with this. Honestly, I was mostly in it for Pedro
I think I am giving up on this series. It has turned into a melodrama soap opera. They didn't even include any of the infected in the last episode of season 2. That sealed it for me.
The first half of the second season had me practically overdose on teen angst. It just wasn’t fun anymore.
Yes, exactly, the same for me. I felt drained emotionally. It is veering off to where I thought it would, the Walking Dead syndrome. Too many characters, way to heavy on the personal dramas and not enough about who and what the infected are, their hierarchy, etc. Focus misdirected.
This was assumed by anyone who's played the game.
Duh. I really like the way the season was set up and looking forward to season 3. I kept wondering why Tommy was weirdly absent, but once the finale aired it made perfect sense, he was in season 3.
The only bummer here is having to wait 2 years. Hopefully it comes out sooner.
How much of the game does Abby's story take up? If it will be all of Season 3, why'd they not have a second unit shooting those scenes while Ellie's side of things. Was it because of the strikes, or was the series only recently greenlight for a third season?
I've never played the game, but it's clear to me that season 3 will be heavily Abby focused.
I'm guessing the last episode (or two) will be more even and wrap up the story of the second game.
Now why do we need to wait two years? That's a production issue. Could they have filmed then at the same time, possiblity.
Honestly, it'll get me to at least try season 3. I don't know if it was the writing or what, but Show Ellie almost completely lacked the intensity I was expecting out of the character last season. Makes me not optimistic for after.
I'd also like to see more of Tati Gabrielle since she's playing Naughty Dog's new protagonist, assuming season 3 even comes out before Intergalactic does.
