Great reflection, Nick -- even though I’m not watching (no HBO 😢) I’ve been really interested keeping up on the conversation around the game and the show. This view on the story as a (broken, imperfect) love story is really fascinating to me, and I appreciate the parallels you draw between its story/message and the scripture passages you reference.
Good stuff, hope to hear more both on this show and from you in this newsletter! ✌️
Thanks Ryan! I think I owe a lot to the official The Last of Us podcast that laid the groundwork for thinking about the show in this context. The idea of it being a series of love stories never struck me playing the game, but it's one of those things that you can't help but examine once you know it's an intentional theme.
