You know, this show never met a monologue it didn't like.

Right.

Yeah.

So there's always just like we're clearing out now because Cal, the president played by James Marsden, like he's going to go on a monologue for a while.

Or Julianne Nicholson, who plays Sinatra, the sort of sinister power behind the scenes puppet master or Sterling K. Brown.

who plays savior, you're just going to get these like really kind of sentimental cloying, you know, just a bit, a bit melodramatic, honestly, exchanges and dialogue.

And yet I am so invested in the story and these characters that I'll allow it.

Even if like a lot of these exchanges don't actually sound like something someone would say, I'm just, I'm in it anyway.

And Sterling K. Brown is just, I mean, I would follow him anywhere.

I'd follow him into battle.

I'd follow him into the bedroom.

I'd follow him into the shower where his well-sculpted physique is shown off.

He's he's great because he's kind of like he's buttoned down.

He's stoic.

You know, he's a Secret Service agent.

Like he's supposed to be sort of emotionally repressed.

But then sometimes you see the sense of humor comes out and the love that he has for his family.

Another fallout parallel.

I guess it's not unusual for a post-apocalyptic show, but it's it's all about got to keep my family safe.

got to find my wife, got to find my family, right?
