PRODUCTION NOTE: Our name has changed but our levels of delusion and derangement have not! Lit By Moonlightis now Normal About It - where we're anything but!

How's everyone doing this week? You okay? Have you cried yourself out yet? We sure haven't! Just when we think we have a grip on where this story is going, HBO's The Last of Us pulls the rug right out from under us and laughs as we watch yet another heart-wrenching storyline play out. This week, we discuss the incredible writing and story expansion of Bill and Frank, how hope and fear can coexist, finding your purpose in the darkest of times, and the show's love of introducing us to a character we get attached to only for them to swiftly be taken away from us by the end of the episode. Help! We're also wondering where Nick Offerman and Murray Bartlett's Emmys are and whether or not Ellie would have enjoyed the Great Fish Debacle of 2018!

• “I think, as a species, we have a desire to believe that we’re living at the climax of the story. IT’s a kind of narcissism. We want to believe that we’re uniquely important, that we’re living at the end of history, that now, after all these millenia of false alarms, now is finally the worst that it’s ever been, that finally we have reached the end of the world... But all of this raises an interesting question... What if it always is the end of the world?”-Emily St. John, The Sea of Tranquility
