Strongly agree with everything said above. Most of f13 discord apparently isn't liking it this much, but I think it's really good.

I'm shocked, shocked I tell you, that F13 people are picking something apart. It's a fun show with a few great quotes scattered here and there.

I never even got into the Fallout games, but the trailer had me at Walton Goggins.

I have played, but even if I hadn't, Goggins would make it a must watch. Add MacLachlan, Purnell and Emerson and I'm totally in.

God, the stim packs, the bobble heads, the fucking posters, the junk gun... this has to be the most faithful adaptation of anything ever. Great cast too.

The entire first season of Fallout has been released on Amazon Prime. I just finished the first episode and it was so much fun I expect I'm going to be binging the whole thing over the next day or two.

It's the story of a Vault Dweller leaving Vault 33 to look for her kidnapped father and it's set in the Los Angeles Wastelands. It also introduces a brotherhood of Steel Squire and a ghoul. I expect they'll meet up sometime soon.

Saw some baby harbor seals today!

I imagine those two trains will be goddamn packed.

Despite the bad press they eventually got after decades of accumulated funk, I remember at a young age being impressed by how cozy the upholstered seats on BART were compared to the ones on Muni, and much later using those cozy seats to catch up on sleep while commuting to and from UC Berkeley. 

The new cars have half as many seats (because you can pack more people in standing than sitting) and they're hard plastic.  They don't make anything the way they used to!   

Fond memories of taking BART from Berkeley to San Francisco to save the headache of parking and the Bay Bridge. Can't say I recall what the trains looked like when I took it though

For those of us in the San Francisco Bay Area:

BART to offer final rides on original equipment on April 20

OAKLAND, Calif. — Bay Area Rapid Transit, the 131-mile electrified rail network in the San Francisco Bay Area, is offering the public a last chance to ride the 1970s-era futuristic railcars that made up its original fleet.

On Saturday, April 20, at 1 p.m. at the MacArthur station in Oakland, BART will commemorate the cars with a ceremony and then run two 10-car trains using original cars for the last time. Anyone can ride for the usual fare.

“We understand that BART cars are iconic, especially the sloped-front A cars,” said BART spokesperson Jim Allison. “We just wanted to give them a proper sendoff so that people had a chance to say goodbye to the cars that have been serving the Bay Area for more than 50 years.”

I remember my Elementary school class (can't remember the grade) took a field trip to ride BART when it was new since it was such a big deal at the time.
