I guess I don't really care if the Fallout series on Amazon presents a different take on the canon, but I do care if they fuck up the themes about capitalism and nationalism, and I care about this

Robots don't kill people. People kill people.

"We wanted to make a show about consciousness; the kind of boastful ambition that works when you're pitching--and then falls apart when you find yourself trying to figure it out. There were few guides. Philosophers who'd lost their tenure. Computer scientists who'd lost their stock options. Guesses. Expletives. Crackpot theories. Hands wrung or simply thrown in the air. Even now, humans know more about what lies at the bottom of a supermassive black hole than the dark center of our minds.

But there are clues: language, semiotics; the distance between the notions rattling around in our minds and the ways in which we share them, and the ways in which humans share ideas between each other.

There's a language older than language, though. One that predates the written word or even the spoken one. Music. Its effects on people are fascinating--raw, direct, like an older interface that bypasses the newer, clunkier inputs. What music may lack in nuance versus spoken language, it more than gains in emotive power, as if transmitting emotion directly into the brain. If a picture is worth a thousand words, the right chord progression might reach nine figures.

So for our series about consciousness, we knew the music would be vital--and that we had the man for the job. Fittingly, Ramin's journey as a composer had been launched, in part, by Elmer Bernstein's achingly brilliant theme for The Magnificent Seven. Here he got to take a detour into the future in order to find his way back to the West.

He wanted to use guitars. We wanted piano (because the player piano had been the original western robot) and he gamely went along. I remember the themes as they came alive, anointing each character, imbuing them with even more depth and power. The craft and performances that came together for the series were all hard won--Ramin's music hooked everything to an undertoe of menace, melancholy and beauty.

As for Ramin's arrangements of contemporary music, they served two purposes; first, as a gentle reminder that our story was being told in the future tense, not the past. And second, as manipulation. If music is evocative, then music you've heard before takes on another dimension, dipping into circuits of lived experience and harnessing their power. A song you've listened to after a triumph or a breakup--even one rendered in a different timbre or arrangement--still has a grip on you. One that Ramin could pluck at, like the strings on his guitar. We spent four seasons exploring these questions and the closest we came to understanding consciousness--at least the variety that afflicts humans--is that any attempt to explain it without incorporating emotion is pointless.

The show is long since over. But I find myself whistling Ramin's timeless theme. Often. And I smile. That's the power of this music: that the indelible experiences of making Westworld, all of the incredible people who were part of it, all the days spent chasing the sun and capturing it on film, can all be conjured, instantly, in 8 perfectly chosen notes.

Westworld never died. It simply became music."

Finished Person of Interest season 3, and boy oh boy what a ride! I'm honestly kicking myself for not having watched when it was airing, but I really thought it was just another procedural crime drama like we had at the time (and like there's still plenty of those, but they're not really my cup of tea).

But that sent me kind of into a rabbit hole about its end and why I've never seen reruns of it where I live. I mean, I get it that there are factors in TV distribution and licencing, but to this day I see constant reruns of shows like Castle, Criminal Minds, CSI, NCIS, and the such. The fact that the network seemed to stop having interest in POI after it became more of a serial than procedural and the fact that viewership also declined after that is very telling imo.

It also made me really mad, because it reminded me of what happened with Westworld, and I can't help to feel sad and angry on behalf of Jonathan Nolan since capitalism and network policies seem to keep getting in his way and not letting him finish the stories he (alongside with other people) wants to tell.

I really do hope that the upcoming Fallout series is successful, and most of all I really hope he gets the chance to finally fully realize his vision.

Just finished watching Fallout, and spoilers, but I just gotta say, I absolutely LOVE that they're making Vault Tec the main villains of the series. :D

Like I remember a few years ago I made a post about how I hoped the next game would feature Vault Tec as the main villains, but everyone commenting on it said how that would never happen as other then the Vaults there was no Vault Tec anymore.

Well, VINDICATION. Hehe.

But yeah, I love so much what they're doing here, and what they revealed about Vault Tec's hand in the end of the world. That boardroom scene in the last episode, where they're just talking excitedly about all the sick experiments they plan on running on the people in the vaults. Just disgusting. Really ran home how evil the company was. Not that we needed more evidence of that of course.

But yeah, very happy I got my wish for main villain Vault Tec. I mean sure it's not happening in a game, but really I kinda like it being done in a show better. This may wind up being the most important story in the Fallout universe by it's end and really I'm not sure I'd trust Bethesda to handle it anymore.

Basically what I'm saying is, In Jonathan Nolan we Trust. lol

Fallout (2024) is the story of haves and have-nots in a world in which there’s almost nothing left to have. 200 years after the apocalypse, the gentle denizens of luxury fallout shelters are forced to return to the irradiated hellscape their ancestors left behind — and are shocked to discover an incredibly complex, gleefully weird and highly violent universe waiting for them.

I’d like to share some thoughts on the upcoming Fallout TV show.

I’m a big fan of Fallout, and have spent hours researching its lore, probably days researching it, haha. I have a…mixed opinion on the trailer. I’ll start with the positives

1. Visually on point. Very reminiscent of Fallout 4 visually.

2. Walton Goggins ghoul looks and sounds spectacular. I like his line in the trailer, “You look out at the wasteland, and it just looks like chaos, but there’s always a hand behind the wheel”. The concept of a movie star becoming an actual warrior intrigues me.

3. I’m looking forwards to seeing the main character Lucy’s arc. Looks compelling.

4. Power Armour looks on point.

5. Jonathan Nolan will be executive producing, and he is a highly competent writer (I hope his brother Chris brings home that Oscar tomorrow!)

The negatives

1. Why is the NCR a small ragtag force seemingly? This would establish a canon ending to New Vegas, a cardinal sin for any game adaptation.

2. Why is shady sands nuked? Maybe this is a pre war city also named Shady Sands….very confusing.

3. The brotherhood are being portrayed as a police force. This is inaccurate. The Brotherhood are a militaristic faction only concerned with the hoarding of technology and isolationism.

4. Los Angeles being nuked…that’s the boneyard. One of the 5 NCR states. C’mon.

I’ll watch the show in it’s entirety when it comes out just over a month from now. I’m keeping my hopes up, and putting my faith in Jonathan and Todd.
