What was the story function of having Owen have sex with Abby? Owen was just talking about a traumatic experience he had involving a war crime. Abby just murdered a few dozen Seraphites and was about to be crucified, then had to fend off a horde of infected. Was it really appropriate for them to be having sex right then and there? I don't think either of them would be in the mood, given the circumstances. What was the point?
The last thing Ellie is doing before Joel's death is getting stoned. This was a real missed opportunity. The writers should have made Ellie partially blame herself for not saving Joel in time because she was being reckless with drugs and sex. Instead, the weed plot point is dropped like a ton of bricks. The marijuana scene's only purpose was to make the game seem cool to the youth.
Jesse says that it hadn’t been a week since he’d broken up with Dina, yet Ellie and her kissed. Dina is fresh out of a however-many-year long relationship, and the first thing she does is make a move on a shared mutual friend, without any regards of how awkward that would make things for Jesse and Ellie. What a shitty thing to do!
So... what happened to the WLF and Seraphites? We just going to ignore the fact that there is no satisfying conclusion to the ever-present war in Seattle? The hear over a WLF radio that Isaac has died and then we see the Seraphite island get burned down. Are they still at war? Who got wiped out? Are they at peace? It is never resolved.
