Fallout 4 tv shows

Nate and Nick would watch every episode of Brooklyn 99. Nick because it is detective thing, Nate because the pilot had two black guys actually having a conversation, and they would both entirely do Ray any day of the week.
Preston and Piper sometimes sit in, but it’s like watching a sitcom from Mars and Nick and Nate keep having to stop the holotape and explain what the hell is going on.
Star Trek, though, goes like hell. Everyone loves Star Trek. Nate is the only one who actually watched any of the episodes (repeatedly, and all the movies, and the books, he may have owned Spock ears).
It was just after they’d finished a Star Trek marathon, which was alas interrupted by a Super Mutant attack. They were dragging the bodies into the compost heap, and Preston sorta grinned and said “Bet they never had to do that in that tv show.”
Piper shook her head. “Wonder if we’d be on the stars by now.”
And Nate, Nate felt his mouth dry and he remembered something really, really important about the lore. He moves his mouth, tries to find the right words.
“Well,” He heaves the dead mutant dog on the firepile. “Nah, they’d be about here.”
They looks at him. “That’s part of the story.” Nate continues. “They had the bombs too. Then some- people-” the whole genetic engineering thing sounds a little too much like synths and Nate quietly confines Wrath of Khan to the dustbin of memory. “Take over the world and massacre a lot of people. So actually, we’re doing better.”
There’s a odd, long silence, everyone is looking at him. Nate runs back through the last few minutes. He doesn’t think he said anything too bizarre?
“They had a nuclear war in that story?” Preston says softly.
“Um, yeah, and a lot of genocide. Which hasn’t happened yet. Because this world is nice.”
“So we could still-” Piper points up, the stars are tiny, white pinpoints.
“Oh yeah.” Nate shrugs. “I mean, there’s a smashed flying saucer we could learn from.”
Preston and Piper stay there, looking up, for a very long time.
