Minor spoilers for Fallout TV show
Butch:
I didn't play, but watched episode 5 of the Fallout show last night, so Lucy has, very conveniently and predictably, met Maximus. I mean, what are the ODDS????
I then had to go back and reacquaint myself with the lore of Shady Sands, which figured very prominently in the first two games way back when. This took a while.
I am very much digging this show. Glad it's been renewed.
Feminina:
The odds were always extremely high! Everyone who is remotely interesting in the Wasteland will always meet everyone else who is remotely interesting at some point.
Butch:
Now they just all have to romance each other!
Episode 5 was disappointing in that it had no ghoul. Nothing against Lucy (that actress is great, who is she?), but ghoul. Need more ghoul.
Loothound:
Gee, what are the odds of that? For anyone who doesn't see that one coming from a million different angles then allow me to also explain what the giant glowing circle in the sky is. Why not surprise us and have her get together with the ghoul, writers? That would solve the problem of more ghoul, while providing a "not the most obvious thing in the world" relationship. Do ghouls have an interest in that sort of thing at all? I can't recall it coming up in the game.
She is great for the role, though. Her unnaturally large and earnest eyes really punctuate the earnestness of her character. It makes her moments of brutality really work in the context of what the show is saying.
Butch:
Have you seen her in anything else? I have not, but I don't watch....things.
Loothound:
I haven't, probably because we also don't watch many things these days. According to IMDB, she's best known for Ms. Peregrine's Home for Unusual Children and Kick Ass 2, neither of which I've seen. Fair amount of voice work on her resume, including Invincible—which I actually do watch. Since we've been referencing Buffy lately, in the first episode she struck me as coming across a little like the girlfriend bot that Warren made in the episode we first meet him in. "You Were Made to Love Me" was the name of the episode, I think? Same kind of chipper, wide-eyed earnestness (and frankness).
Feminina:
I read the book of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, but, oddly, don't remember that specific actor's face in my mental images from it.
Though it fits.
Loothound:
What, no giant eyes looming in your brain space?
Butch:
I always have eyes looming in my brainspace, but they're never from cute British actresses.
Loothound:
More of an Eastern European art house vibe to them, eh? I feel ya.
Butch:
More like surrealistic neurosis.
Now there's a great band name.
Loothound:
That is a great band name.
