I saw a video in which some characters of the Fallout tv show open a fridge and find an alien and just toss it out because they want the working fridge. I’ve never understood (or really bothered with) why Fallout had the nuclear “event” which triggered the use of the shelters. Was it an alien invasion?
I remember the characters, just not their names. I recognize the characters by their looks while they’re on-screen & by their voices if they’re not. But if they’re only mentioned, I can have trouble unless there is additional context or if they’ve appeared recently.
It’s also not like I can’t remember any names. I also have an easier time remembering a name if it’s a book instead of a tv series/movie, the name is interesting/otherwise memorable or if I’ve had enough exposure to it.
