This Week: Season 1, Episode 3 of The Last of Us, "Long, Long Time" introduces us to a heartbreaking yet satisfying love story between a survivalist, Bill, and Frank, the man bill caught in a hole. We cry, we delve deep, and we attempt to make the connections between this love story, and how it will echo throughout Joel & Ellie's relationship moving forward.
