I really appreciate that. I was one of the writers, on it from day one, and wrote the parallel timeline novel ‘Zero State’. I’m so glad it resonates in that way for you. I can’t speak for anyone else but that was certainly my intent.

(Also, @dieworkwear.bsky.social is a great follow.)

Also I’m wildly proud of you, Germany trip is cancelled and I’d love to talk to you soon.

I’m sorry it costs what now?

With the right casting the actor is always the final characterization’s missing third.

Brendan’s on BlueSky btw. bsky.app/profile/bpka...

On paper the dialog looks a lot like nonsense, but with the right actor and background it totally works.

Chipper was created and written specifically for Brendan. If he had t done it it would t have worked anywhere near as well.

That's not fair. Many of them have also mastered the "selfie in an F-150 taken from the perspective of your severed head sitting in their lap".
