was the fake sky in the corn room not there to simulate sunlight and make the corn grow?

vitamin a is the one that’s concentrated into lethal doses in the livers of carnivores, which you should never eat unless you want your skin to slough off

This was me when they showed the Nuka Cola vending machine in the vault in I think the second ep? I immediately said to Jason, ā€œHow does that get restocked???ā€

Otherwise we are on ep 5 and I’m loving it, even if the gore is REALLY over the top. I also wonder how alienating the show is for someone completely unfamiliar with the games. There are a lot of things shown or mentioned with no dialogue to flesh it out so if you hadn’t played the games you wouldn’t know what was going on.

I watched some of the Fallout show the other night after a coworker talked about it. I’ve never played any of the video games, though of course I’m vaguely aware of the basic premise. The show is entertaining so far. It gets silly at times but not in a way that ruins it.

I laughed out loud whenever characters started going through the pockets of people they just killed because they’re just doing player character loot all corpses behavior

Yeah i know I’m overthinking it, i just get so tickled at the references and then think how others will just miss it. But that is any media based on something!

I want to see a deathclaaaaaaaaaaw

I’m also very glad they got the rights to use almost all the same music as the games.

The whole scene by the pool with Matt Berry describing the future of everything interchangeable with the word ā€œproductā€ really felt like a reference to the Dustin Hoffman film The Graduate with its pool party scene and the word ā€œplasticsā€

Got the same vibe later with the guy who said the future was management to the point that it felt like Cooper was being forced to sit through the same scene twice

My parents have found the 2010s show Person of Interest and they love it and it is just so horrifying to me. The entire premise of omniscient surveilance machines and secret algorithms telling the government when there’s going to be a crime so they can go prevent it, and it’s presented as not only an unvarnished good thing, but it’s good that there is a backdoor that a tight knit vigilante squad can access to get pre-crime info about things not big enough for the feds to worry about. Everything about this show is a sickness.

I looked up the story to this show a while back, and it may be a comfort to know that at the end of season 1, the machine is the main antagonist of the show.
