** They probably figured out the group was there for a reason, say waiting for somebody to escort across the country, and so included it in some patrols. Or maybe they were ordered to go back to see if there was any info on their network.

* Why do the FEDRA soldiers show up at the Massachusetts State House after Joel, Tess, and Ellie arrive there? Clearly FEDRA had already been there, and already killed all the Firefly rebels there, so why would they go back?

*** The Fireflies ''led'' the revolt in Pittsburgh, or at least made it possible. The civilians turned on them afterwards and reverted to banditry because, in the words of one artifact, they weren't willing to "take orders from some Firefly leader all the way on the other side of the country." The quarantine zones do keep in touch with each other, so on paper, coordinating some kind of election to establish a less repressive government wouldn't be impossible (it would take a long time to bring isolationists like David's group and Bill into the fold, but they aren't a priority). In any case, just because the Fireflies are politically naive or hypocritical doesn't mean they don't have ideals; the Soviet Bolsheviks never got out of the "dictatorship of the proletariat" phase, either. A FullCircleRevolution is still a revolution.

*** If you really pay attention during the fight, there's a lot of... uncomfortable moments. He straddles her, hold her hands down, pulls her hair. Then while he's strangling her, right before she slashes him, hi sbody position has changed from the other shot. Parts of his body that should not be touching a fourteen year old girl are... kind of doing so.

*** Also the idea that violence means someone doesn't want to rape a person is naive at best. Rape isn't solely about sex. It's about power. Rape often follows violence.
