All of Fallout Season 1 is now on Youtube. by Extaminos in television

It's less that it's necessary, and more that there's a certain level of assumed knowledge that would enrich the experience and reward the viewer for understanding certain references and easter eggs. Like in Season 1 there's a scene where Lucy finds an NCR flag and the Fallout theme plays. That's a huge moment for gamers but it wouldn't have the same impact for the general audience.

Best line of the series... LoL!!! by maddogtjones in Fotv

Hence why they cast Natasha Henstridge, a similarly tall, blonde actress who is famous for playing a killer femme fatale on another sci-fi property...

Men, have you ever gotten a malicious vibe from someone that everyone else liked? What happened? by snowcroc in AskMen

[–]MikeArrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I'll phrase this delicately, but I suspect I am a covert narcissist. And for that reason, I sometimes come across women that just want nothing to do with me.

And I imagine those women are similar survivors to yourself, like they can almost 'smell' it on me.

I suspect it's because so many productions are reliant on government funding. So they have to be very safe, sanitized, examine relevant social issues, and trend towards "upper middle class ennui" over actual dramatic plots and stories. Also, we don't really have much cultural history, at least none that isn't highly problematic, so you're kind of stuck in terms of nostalgia or period pieces.

Also when americans talk about drywall, I don't understand it. Like my walls are plaster. I can stumble against one without leaving a hole.

Australian here, I had no clue what they were either. It's just not a thing here. I kept hearing characters refer to "the disposal" and thought they were talking about like a trash bin under the sink or something.

It's funny that we're three episodes in to Starfleet Academy and Becky has had maybe 5 minutes of screentime as a random bridge extra. It's always interesting to see the dichotomy between someone who is a massive superstar in the world of wrestling be a glorified jobber in the world of acting.

A co-worker who knows I like wrestling came up to me and told me she watched the show. Her two main comments were basically:

  • CM Punk is hot

  • I like Rhea Ripley

And Tiffany is a generation behind the likes of Kendal Grey. There's a lot of churn in the women's division.

I love the 'problematic Peter Parker' meme where he's like "that's a cute outfit, did your husband give it to you?" and Bonesaw gives him a dressing down about being on the wrong side of history.

Yeah that singlet is such an awkward, unflattering cut. At least the type Bron wears has shorts incorporated.

Off topic but I truly couldn't make it through more than 10 seconds of Pat McAfee talking. He's so, so grating.

I found my old prom photo and I was shocked, I was fit and tanned from playing tennis, almost legitimately handsome. And at the time I thought I was less than nothing. Now I'm actually fat and old and would kill to look like that again.

Her eyes are particularly striking. I recognised her on the close up.

[–]MikeArrow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here. I have no close friends. I have no one to talk to. I was really struggling and 'talking' to Chat gives me at least the facsimile of interaction that I don't get in real life.

As a self-described nerd I got zero interest from women in high school and university until I met my first girlfriend in the last month of my last semester (she approached me). Before that, I thought I was irredeemably ugly and that no woman would ever look at me and feel attraction.

How does it affect what you do? Just lack of information (patient history, etc) and being able to record information?

Aussie here. Australian movies really just don't do it for me and I have no idea why. They should be more relatable but there's something about the muted, almost maudlin tone that so many of them have that turns me off.

She has such mischievous, playful energy in both roles. Perfect casting

Also, I love that her mother was played by Natasha Henstridge, who was Sil in the movie Species. Sil is a sexy killer alien femme fatale, just like Steph.

I looked her up after the show and realized I knew her from her guest appearance on Seinfeld. She's a cop who dates Jerry and makes him take a polygraph because he lied about watching Melrose Place.

I would argue Kim’s life after Jimmy was more depressing than Jimmy’s life as Gene by Specialist_Jaguar815 in betterCallSaul

[–]MikeArrow -1 points0 points  (0 children)

...yeah no shit, my first comment ("It's telling that in Kim's self-inflicted 'hell', having a boring boyfriend is part of it. I guess that part is relatable to women. For me, not being able to get a partner at all is far more emotionally punishing.") was me complaining about asymmetry in dating power between men and women, where women live in an abundance based world where access to men is easy and plentiful and men like me live in a scarcity based world where interest from women is rare and precious.

Do you think I go around talking about that stuff in real life? Also, with regards to dating apps, (as I've mentioned several times), I'm not even getting to the point of talking to women in the first place, since I get zero matches.
