Every day actors start filming projects and then they finish filming projects.
When it happens its rarely, if ever, significant.
The rumor of Pascal completing his filming started earlier this week.
Where in the world is Pedro Pascal?Image: HBO
Except, it didnt, if you had some additional context.
Does that mean he is still filming?
Does that mean he finished a block of filming and is going back?
And, finally, why is this meaningless piece of news being reported on with such interest?
Ellie doesnt know that part though and goes on a revenge mission to find and kill Abby.
That Joel is only in a few scenes or episodes and then WHAM.
Which, in terms of a major TV series, always felt like something that wouldnt happen.
Plus, theres no guarantee they have to follow the game.
Their show is headlined by one of the biggest stars in the world.
To write him off for any reason is a major decision on every level.
News that the games story would besplit over at least two seasonsthen changed the conversation.
It then seems possible Joel would die, but maybe not until the end of season two.
But, now, we know those rumors are not accurate.
It doesnt say he has months left of filming.
It doesnt even say that hes still filming.
HBO is only saying its not accurate that Pedro Pascal has completed filming on season two.
It should be meaningless.
