Many shows take a stab at getting to viewers’ hearts with emotional scenes and episodes, but they usually fall short. Sunday night, I witnessed what may be the most emotional episode of any series I have ever watched. Of course, I’m talking about episode three of “The Last of Us.” And I’m sure many of the 6.4 million viewers that tuned in would agree. I am a die-hard horror fan and rarely ever cry in real life, but episode three had me crying, ugly crying, snot dripping, and all. Don’t get it twisted; it wasn’t all heartaches and sadness; instead, the episode was about love, which was beautiful. Warning! Spoilers! In what may be considered a controversial move (get over it already), the episode centers on Bill, played by Nick Offerman (“Parks and Recreation”), a prepper who is fantastic at building traps and surviving alone. One day a traveler named Frank (Murray Bartlet) stumbles into one of Bill’s traps. Bill
