That was an incredible season. Easily my favorite this year. One thing bothered me about the ending though...

Spoiler!

They pointed out in the intro with the scientists talking. A vaccine against fungal infection does not exist. Because it's not possible. The scientist directly references this fact within minutes of the start of the series. So, why are they wanting to kill Ellie and take out her brain? The **** would they even do with it?

Was that explained in the game better than how weirdly I perceived it in the series?

From a biological standpoint, that's just super silly for them to think they could make a fungal vaccine from Ellie's brain when it was knowingly impossible and even referenced as such in the intro. In addition, medical tech is basically non-existent at this point. Maybe it's just me overthinking it. But that was a rare head scratcher that took me out of it for a moment, in an otherwise awesome series. That bothered me even when the Fireflies initially explained their plan. But I passed it off as maybe they had a big modern human settlement or something.
