So obviously this work is wonderful, playful, romantic, you name it. But looking at other work they've done so much of it centres on this voyeuristic view of women. Its so uncomfortable. Maybe I'm really jaded.
Watch ways of seeing if you haven't. Episode 2 touches on women in art by and for men youtubelink

Can't believe you're posting for free, when you could have been paid to write this for the Economist 🤑
I just dont have a lot of faith in the writers I guess, I understood what it could mean, but the matriarchal figure saying 'yeah nah communism bad' doesn't inspire a lot of confidence. I read it as them being clever.
also, insomnia so my brain doesn't work rn
I agree with you 100% comrade.
myself and my partner both hated the show for how black and white all the characters are, it's VERY todd howard, bad people are comically evil, like RoboCop bad guys, but the show takes itself SO seriously. the 'good guys' are basically flawless.
othershit that annoyed me
other shit that really bothered me is the showrunners who care about fallout, destroyed shady sands, one of the first locations you go in fallout 1. the only reason being to give the brotherhood of steel character a tragic backstory, it felt especially like a fuck you to the original game.
the overseers wife/ protags dead mother only exists to give the characters tragic backstory.
the ghoul's cartoonishly evil wife is Black, leading the American hero astray.
anti communist shit you mentioned (I screamed). they call the ghoul a pinko at one point, but I think it's more foreshadowing that he'll be literally pink, wow, very writing.
spoiler last episode spoilers WHAT THE FUCK THE CAPITALISTS DROPPED THE NUKES ON THEMSELVES, it doesn't make sense.
oh and fucking adding a roomba so amazon exists in fallout now. :::

anyway I'm so mad at todd howard I actually started playing fallout 1, it's funny, it's clever, the story is better, it's 'fun'.
the tv show isnt canon, and neither are anything bethesda has touched, you can't change my mind.
at least seeing people in power suits kick and stomp on people was fun.
sorry this is more of an insomnia rant than a proper engagement with your post. 😎

an hour of faffing about failing to find this song through a search engine "husband wife violin folk rock 1970s" "british folk rock 1970s" lol, I found it sorting my heard drive by date! the they literally have STRING in their name
anyway maybe someone will get a kick out of this I haven't heard it in years
oh neat!
I was just reading the wiki article on english folk rock looking for a band I can't remember the name of, but fuck reading shit like well led zeppelin really took influence from some folk music, look at gallows pole! when I know their first album is chock full of old english folk songs
if you look at the history of the guitar anf rock, you can loosely trace it back to American (the landmass) slaves, through Mexico, to Spain, where it was likely to have come from the Moores, so I dunno, shout out to Allah for rock 'n roll I guess
there's a bit in here somewhere, I'm funny.
wow i'd forgotten about hey ash watcha playin', I'm suddenly flooded with memories from 2010 and it is NOT good lol
