      This series is incredibly poetic and quotable. I also like ‘the only thing more terrifying than seeing the devil is no longer being able to see the devil’, from episode 43

    I honestly feel like it's better if a world without Carlos is also a world without Cecil. I'm relistening to season 3 right now, and a Cecil without Carlos is just not a thing that should be.
    How can a Night Vale be without a Cecil? Hunkotar pretty much said that there's always a Cecil in Night Vale.
    In conclusion, I want my Cecil back. I want my Carlos back. And I want my Night Vale back.

    Cecil forgot literally everything about Night Vale including Carlos.
    Leonard called himself a regular host.

    I started listening to Welcome to Night Vale randomly picking an episode, and it was this one. For some reason, for a long time, i didn't want to listen to any other episode and just kept listening to this one on repeat. It just caught me with it's narration and the weather song. For a long time i couldn't get used to Cecil, ironically.
    Months later, started to listen to the podcast from episode one and took off. Now i've reached this episode and listening to it again is just the most weird, awesome and touching experience

    I am seeing a lot of complaints about not hearing Cecil - while I don't disagree I think it deserves to mentioned that this episode was stunningly beautiful and a true work of art. it wasn't even in spite of the wonky music and lack of regular host, but rather in part because of it.
