The Last of Us Long Long Time (Season 1, Episode 3) (2023) Well, here we are at the end of the list, and I couldnt think of a more poignant sendoff than the one-off episode masterpiece that was Long Long Time. To just zoom out for a second, I loved the tv adaptation of The Last of Us, one of my favorite video games as far as storyline goes. The show follows Joel and Ellie as they navigate through a zombie-infested, post-apocalyptic world devastated by a mutated Cordyceps virus. The show was a sometimes scene for scene adaptation of the video game, and thats not an insult. It was well executed in all phases. My one criticism is that the show felt rushed at times, trying to fit the entire game into nine episodes. I think if they wouldve stretched it out to twelve or so, it couldve been something even more special. Case in point, episode 3, a rare divergence from the video game, and a rare moment where the show slows things down to take a look at the life of Bill and Frank and their story of survival and love in the post-apocalyptic world. I gotta admit this one hit me differently. As a straight male, I must confess that I sometimes have trouble connecting with LGBTQ relationships in television. But this episode was able to reach me in a way that hadnt really been done before. It helped bridge the gap of understanding by showing first and foremost the humanity of Bill and Frank. No gimmicks. No glamour. Just pure, unadulterated love between two people, who just happened to both be men. What a concept, right? But just so flawlessly executed. May we all be lucky enough to have one more good day with the person we love in the end, no matter who that may be. The episode received critical acclaim, despite some conservative backlash. The song played in the show, called Long Long Time, skyrocketed on Spotify after the episode aired, and would chart on several Billboard charts in the preceding weeks. Nick Offerman was brilliant in the episode and won an emmy for his performance. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ceno1EAlDYM (Honorable Mention: Inside No. 9 The Twelve Days of Christine) --- Don't mind me. I'm just here for the contest. <cite>guffguy89 posted [p:983848171] in Guffguy ra... [t:80923992]...</cite> <quote>1.
