I just listened to episodes 109 and 110 of Nightvale, and I don’t know what exactly is different, but I’m really enjoying this show this time around.
A story about Huntokar laying out everything, explaining different things that kept coming up in the series, the fact that the world ended decades before, the parallel timelines, the origins of the distant prince, the woman from italy, the faceless old woman, all of that.
I don’t know why I didn’t attach to it before, but this time around I was just fascinated hearing all of it, how Huntokar tried to reach out and save the town she loved, but ultimately failed and doomed all other worlds.
How there were various Cecils she tried to speak to, some who heard her, some who didn’t, some who failed, some who tried their hardest. That section might have been one of my favorites from the episode.
And her talking about a great dark planet lit by no sun, I remember a while back seeing people freak out about that, so it’s something I’m keeping my eye on.
And then how it’s mentioned that the soft meat crowns and the bloodstone circles, it was all made because they felt the love she felt for them and tried to return it, until they’ve reached where they are now, where they don’t remember why they do all of these things.
I just really loved the episode. I’ll talk about episode 110 in another post.

EVERY EPISODE SO FAR THAT DOESNT END WITH “GOODNIGHT, NIGHT VALE. GOODNIGHT”
SO I finished the list today! This list includes any variation of the phrase, episodes where he just doesn’t say it although present, and episode where he doesn’t say it because he’s not present. I decided to mark colour code them as a result!
• variation, • no goodnight, • no Cecil
Before I start:
I did not include extra episodes like snippets from the lives shows and such.
For the quotes here I only took the final phrase. So anything that breaks the usual scheme like a lack of “stay tuned next” or any lengthy monologue about anything relating to the goodnight phrase, I didn’t quote
I’m thinking about making a video compilation later on but for now I DONT have the space to dowload all these episodes so this will do for now!
If I missed any, lmk!
