Great but nothing like the ending I expected. Was anyone else expecting 1) Joel to get bitten, infected and put out of his misery by Ellie or 2) Ellie to eventually succumb to the infection, turn into a mega-bloater and after a final battle get wiped out by an emotionally charged Joel (who then dies of his wounds??)

On a side note Ellie never wanted to die on the surgeon's slab. She wanted to learn to swim/play the guitar 'after all this is over'. I think she was expecting nothing worse than minor surgery.
