Reply to Name a television series character, that deviates from the standard archetype and is portrayed in a unique manner? by philosybin

Whedon shows are littered with them. If you made it to the end of the Dollhouse there are some character turns that are just stunning.

Steven Universe surprised me a few times with where the characters ended up going. It was always human and fit with who they were but also unique and nuanced in a way that only humans can be.

Reply to comment by paulteegoldman in What do you guys think is the best episode of TV ever made? by AnEmbarassedRedditor

My family was out of town, so I’d figure I’d take some edibles and enjoy the latest episode of Twin Peaks. As the edible started kicking in, the episode started. The first 10-15 min were typical Peaks, but as the episode cuts to the past and shows the atomic bomb sequence, I was just glued to the couch and couldn’t believe what I was watching. Definitely one of the greatest episodes/experiences I’ve ever had.

I think a lot of it was maybe that it was unexpected. I thought it was good and Muary Bartlett was really good as he always is but Nick Offerman was just his normal self except he was a closeted gay guy, his acting was good but not really worthy of the crazy high praise that episode is getting IMO.

Reply to Should I watch Mr. Robot? I keep hearing it’s one of the best shows ever. by 1000Fatkidz

It's a great show in my opinion due to the complexity of the characters and strong overall writing. As long as you don't long up the plot you'll definitely won't see some of the plot twist. Also by and large pretty accurate depiction of hacking and hacking methods. I would also mention that it's not a feel good show ie you'll feel the stress the characters go through.

>I mean, I'd sure love a natural gas stove that magically works off of electricity and raw crude oil!

This is such a weird criticism.

When the power went out while at the hardware store, he went to the "New Bedford Plant" Natural Gas Plant and turned the gas back on assuming the reserves would last him in a town for for 1. He drives at the gates of the plant at full speed and cuts through the rest with bolt cutters.

We know the generator doesn't power it because he lights the stove to heat water, before he unpacks and powers up the generator.

>I wonder who kept filling that generator after the both died until Joel and Ellie showed up to find them? I mean, all the lights were still on but they've obviously decomposed and the leftover food on the table had gone rotten.

It depends on how long the generator lasts. But also Joel has been there many times, and might know how to refill it as part of his whole Handyman Builder thing. They've probably traded for fuel before.

> the crafty survivalist and skilled hunter stood out in the middle of the road shooting at people

"I was never afraid before you showed up." He was afraid and made mistakes.

Also at no point is he shown to be a great hunter. He see him raising chickens and farming. His signature dish appears to be rabbit, and he's shown to be a trapper. None of that translates to shooting ability. It would then be notable that nowhere do we see a shooting range, or anywhere he can practice.
