But nobody had more secrets–or prowled those gray areas better– than KALINDA SHARMA, the firm’s tough, savvy, leather-wrapped private investigator. For my money, she was not just the most interesting character on the show–over her six year run on the show she was arguably most entertaining and consistently intriguing private eye on American television.

In fact, despite the numerous modern touches (data banks, computer hacking, cellphone taps and the oh-so-modern nods to her ambiguous sexuality), Kalinda is in many ways a throwback to the genre’s roots.

As played by Archie (Bend It like Beckham) Panjabi, she presented a tightly wound professionalism rarely seen in the genre these days, never mind on mainstream television. The leather she sported was not the skin-clinging stuff of adolescent centerfold fantasy (although she certainly wore it well). Rather, she wore it like armor; a thick shell to keep the world at bay.

Her antecedents weren’t nice guys like Jim Rockford or Thomas Magnum. Nope, her roots went back much further, back to a time when private eyes weren’t automatically expected to be warm and cuddly.

Professionally she wasn’t just cold–she was Hammett-cold. Hard and brassy when she had to be. Hell, the way she dispassionately worked her cases, facing down her enemies without flinching, and standing up to violence and staring it straight in the eye, she could be The Continental Op‘s illegitimate daughter.

But she wasn’t a one-note character, either.

A shrewd and clever investigator, she’d do whatever and go wherever it took (from dumpster diving to infiltrating high school locker rooms to, yes, sleeping with someone to pry information from them) to get what she wanted. She was a breath of fresh air and surprising complexity and moral ambiguity in a television genre that too often treats even major characters as shallow stick figures whose entire essence is delineated by the first commercial break.

The more we’re told about Kalinda, it turns out, the less we actually know.

Like much of the show, it’s not just her loyalty, ethics, allegiances and motives that are ultimately shaded in ambivalence–her personal life is also somewhere in the “don’t ask, don’t tell” area.

Is she a dispassionate hard ass who only lives for the job? Or an anything-goes party girl? Is she a lesbian? Bisexual? Straight as a crooked arrow? Non-binary? Asexual?

During her six years on the show, it was always hard to tell to pin down Kalinda. How much was really her and how much was simply a convenient persona to slip into?

But it was that frostiness, coupled with the murkiness of her background and her hard-boiled professionalism that kept me coming back. In the first season, it was revealed that she used to work for Peter, but she seemed willing to sell him out to his political enemies. Or was she?

In the second season, however, Kalinda really came into her own, even as the veneer of her personal life oh-so-slowly started to slip. A merger brought Blake (Scott Porter), a professional rival, into the firm, but it was instantly obvious these two were not going to get along, either personally or professionally. And matters were exacerbated when Blake began to taunt Kalinda, dropping hints that he knew all about her past. Lucky him. We sure didn’t.

Suffice it to say she didn’t take it well. Given her buttoned-down aloofness, Kalinda’s hands-on attack on Blake’s unprotected car with a aluminium baseball bat is shocking and unsettling. But even giving into rage she’s still enough of a hard-ass to challenge a witness who stumbles her impulsive act of vandalism in the deserted parking garage. “What the hell are you looking at?” she demands of the awestruck citizen. “Call the police!”

And then, as the citizen scurries off to alert the authorites, she continues to destroy the car.

Now that’s cold.

Later on that season an old lover, Donna (brilliantly played by Lili Tyler), also shows up, with an unspecified axe to grind, although it has something to do with Kalinda not being “domestic” enough–whatever that means.

Alas, in the last few years of her run on the show, Kalinda’s screen time was severely reduced (she below), and she became just another great character in a show full of them.

Those last few years were particularly disappointing, but even then, Kalinda was always absolutely riveting to watch, the held-in-check ambivalence and ambiguity a facet of her evolving character; not a cookie cutter substitute for actual depth.

Imagine! An old fashioned gumshoe, actually working cases on behalf of a client. No ghostly visitors providing convenient clues, no psychic baloney, no CSI voodoo, no burned spies, no OC cases, no human lie detectors, no personal agendas on every single case – just a hard-boiled dick who gets hired to investigate and actually works cases.

How long has it been since we’ve seen THAT?

Her much trumpeted farewell, with Kalinda betraying a violent drug dealer in an attempt to protect her friends, ends with her facing off against the dealer’s slimy toad of a lawyer, who realizes what a ruthless piece of work she is. He asks her, almost in desperation–his own days may be numbered– if she’s consider teaming up with him.

“No, I’m good,” she says, her last lines of a six-year run.

No, she was great.

People flapping their gums about Eastern European (Slavic can be used interchangeably in this case) armies not being competent or intelligent enough to use western weapons systems are the same ones that don't understand the whole Warsaw pact and USSR battle doctrine was, nuke everything first then potentially mop up whats left of the west's armies. The BMP is not resistant to 50cal fire to the sides and the BMD is a zinc coffin on tracks with its aluminium aloy armor ranging from 7mm to 33mm depending on which iteration in the family you are looking at.

Effective training and changing of doctrine need time to take hold, and especially you need to consider the fact that modern weapon systems and gear require a little bit more maintenance than their Warsaw pact counterparts.

Addicted to Chems - Paladin Danse x Sole Survivor Fanfic

-Why do you keep consuming that stuff you know that’s junk for your body, even your druggie friends says the same

-Come on you know I only do it for fights

Thing is they where constantly fighting.

After menacing elder Maxson to kill himself if anything happens to Danse, both were spared, well, one exiled, the other one on watch but technically spared. The ex-Paladin had a very delicate situation explaining to himself and the world why he feeled so alone and abandoned and…to make him understand that his life was worthy because there was people that loved him and would cry for his loss Nate took the chance to confess when the opportunity arrived, yes, maybe he wouldn’t confess in the middle of a existencial crisis but it was a right chance to give the man something after loosing everything.

And also his head had been crazy looking for chances to have something with the Paladin. Nate had a growing feeling in his chest since the moment he decided to make the Paladin his companion. Never, never, never had fallen in love or thought about romance with another man, never even feeled attracted but…Danse hit him differently, unexpected.

Nate didn’t thought about being this close with anybody after…what happened to his wife, he promised himself that his only worries would be Shaun and the vengeance of Nora but…it was stronger than him, love is strong, love hits you like a rock in the head and you cant avoid how it makes you feel.

Sometimes, he felt guilty, for betraying Nora like this, he saw her die in front of his eyes not so long ago, a few months in his eyes, Shaun, the gift Nora gave him was now somekind of monster and he didn’t resolve that situation yet , not even a year later he find a new romance and it feels…awfull…Nora was the love of his life and having a growing feeling for another person so…fast…really messed up with his head in guilt and desesperation.

It wasn’t loneliness, Nate managed that well, fighting and looking and learning and doing everything to survive and found Saun, it was something else, he was convinced it was pure love, the kind of love you don’t expect to happened and it just too perfect how it became true. Never think himself with a man and…one day he cant stop thinking on how much he missed just walking with Danse.

The Paladin was great, intelligent, strong, resistant, had a great determination to work…Nate appreciated how the man wasn’t a burden, they were at the same level, he did care and worry about Danse but clearly the Paladin was strong and smart, and that was so reliefing considering how difficult and aggressive his…schedule is day by day.

Some other days, when they were together, Nate found himself looking at Danse and thinking on how handsome it was, even when he never looked a man like that.

Of course, he would confess in another moment, more appropriate for both, but he was happy it happened anyway, and that Danse accepted his feelings in such a personal moment. Clearly the man was willing to make a new life now that his previous one was flipped up.

-You are taking buffout now to be more strong and carry more junk

-Well I want to repair my power-armor and i need this aluminium so…

-Let me carry it! I can help you! Offered you many times!

-What? No way! Im not gonna bother you with this cans, it wouldn’t be appropriate, besides you talk like I have a problem with chems

-You do have a problem with chems

-Im so sorry for being the druggie boyfriend –Danse rolled his eyes, clearly annoyed- come on! Its only for practical purposes! I don’t do mentats for example! That ones are for loosers that cant talk to a girl!

It was true, Nate only takes chems for certains situations, like a fight, or to escape from a situation, to avoid radiation and be stronger, to have more endurance…to carry more weight…

-Well you don’t need them! None of this crap!

-Hey when I get addicted as soon as I can we go to a doctor to fix it, even in the Brotherhood it was normal to do chems according to Knight Cade

-Well it wasn’t exactly a good thing for him to make you know that…

-Why?

-If people thinks that doing chems is normal and not that bad it would cost personal and resources to the Brotherhood, interfiering with the day by day chores…

-Come on even at the Institute they do chems, once even pay me with it–Danse looked at him bad- Look I was in the military too, before you small youngling –the man laughted, loved when Nate do that joke about their ages- we didn’t do drugs back then, there where a lot of test anti-dopping and the consequences for being positive where so severe –Oh no, the pond of memorys was always a down for Nate, but he constantly will be remembering old memories…it didn’t past that much for him after all- I left drugs at early age, when I enter the military, because I was a very patriot man with a lot of sense of responsibility in the army and…I take chems here…in the commonwealth…after the appocalipse –Nate bit his lip, feeling a bitter taste coming from that subject…

-Im worried about you, I know that not being open to the subject is a mistake because humans have natural tools to process drugs, it’s a very natural thing, but once you killed a granny by giving her the chems she was asking –once Danse mentioned that about Mama Murphy a hand went to cover his face, he often tries to forget that episode.

-I was desesperate for answers and that woman was right about everything…-by that time, he was in the search of Kellogg. Of course it wasn’t a necessary sacrifice, it was something he would like to forget for the rest of his life and his mind wouldn’t let him, an error, a terrible error, paid with the life of a woman that only helped him, it was a dark chapter for him.

-Im not judging you, just to remind you on first hand how this stuff is, even the ghoul mayor friend of yours do concern

-You know, back there, when I was young in the university we had this stuff that was white dust…-Danse looked at him bad, again, clearly tired of the subject- again babe, sorry for being the dopped boyfriend –the ex-Paladin started to walk away from that useless attempt to save his boyfriend health, and Nate followed him, getting on front and hugging him by the neck, the height differences between them when one was with the power armor and the other not were huge, but still he managed to hug him and make the ex-Paladin stop on his runaway-heyhey…do I tell you enought how much I love your hair? –Nate started to caress his perfect black and shiny Pompadour.

-Gosh you are high –despite being annoyed, he liked the feeling of his hands over his scalp

-Buffout doesn’t cause allucinations or a state of conscious, this thing is back from my days small youngling, I fucking meant what I say about your hair –Nate laughted at see him blush –im so relieved that you didn’t find yet where I hid that awfull hat…

-I swear to you if this nonsense of hiding my cap continues any longer…

-Come on is just a hat not a helmet, I refuse to spend another day without that perfect hairstyle –he didn’t remember being this happy, this dreamy talking, this overjoyed with just being around someone you love before…that broadcast on the television before everything change forever.

Turning a man who always considered himself straight to bi was a challenge, it started with feelings, definitely some feelings, their connection was so natural and the air betweem them was so confortable that a…flirting joke not so joke would pass away…right? But when Danse reacted so cute to that…confession not confession it definetly turned down the table for him.

And them at each encounter Danse looked more and more and more handsome, despite not changing anything about his aspect, and not even pass many hours between the last time they see each other.

God he fall in love so hard.

Danse smiled with tenderness –Lets reach Jamaica Plain to fix that power armor, I don’t like being out of the settlement, this is the area of the gunner brigadiers and theres a lot around this settlement, we only went out because you said you were…out of trash…

-Well not a lot of caravans move to this sides…so I cant be…out of cash –Danse silly laughted, and Nate had a bright smile after seeing him enjoy that joke –speaking of which we can make a little stop before going to the settlement to…-that silence give Danse al the information he needed

-What? Absolutely not

-Why not? I can show you how im not affected at all

-If you take buffout the effect is going to last for 3 days at least, just like any other druggie you cant keep it hard the whole thing –Nate now feeled insulted, especially when Danse started to walk away faster

-Well I can still suck you dick to make you cum! –how dare Danse speak to him about that, damn switch.

-Then you will be unable to cum because of the chems and spend all that grumpy –when the ex-Paladin make that statement, Nate turned ashamed, yep, it was true, not gonna lie –Also I don’t like the sex with you being high, is like…taking advantage…

Oh…sweet boy…well of course it was like that but he had full confidence in Danse and allowed him to do that in that circunstances, also he enjoyed the overstimulation caused by some chems…like jet…and never practiced before in sex…

Nate took his big metal armored hand, walking with him.

-You win, don’t worry about me, I know what im doing…

-Every druggie says that –says Dance with a really dark voice.

Nate was a first hand fighther since the day he trow rockets, misils, fatmans and granades like crazy after finding a Behemot by accident sleeping in a lake in the middle of Boston, that day, he won a super weapon, a weapon that Danse considered an abomination but…god dammit Nate loved it. The GRA was a robot arm with a piece of concrete and some bars attached, really really poor desing, obviously improvised and not secure at all but god damn it hitted well.

Danse see how Nate exploded supermutants heads with just that fist, it was crazy how the weight of a piece of concrete was so dense and barbaric…

And it worked.

But because of that Nate take a lot of chems, Jet, Psyco, Buffout, Med-X, Stempacks, he needed the adrenaline to lift that weapon, he needed his muscles to forget how to set an alarm of “hey this is so much more than we can handle”, he needed his spine to work much more than its limitations, he needed the inhibition to go forward his target and kill it at once.

It was destructive, for Nate and everyone in front of him defying him.

Yeah, it was an effective weapon, but at what cost.

It was crazy how that thinn man in a vault suit, with just a military armor scavenged from gunner brigadiers and military ghouls goes all high straight up to battle with a fucking concrete fist and wins.

I mean Danse didn’t discuss the results but…

It was dangerous, extremely dangerous, god he now gets something important in his life and despite being…indestructible at sight…it was so scary, Nate moved in such a scary way that it makes him comtemplate all the possible ways of dying horrible, it makes Danse stomach falls to the ground everytime he sees Nate pulling out that damn fist.

How can a piece of concrete can be more trilling than a laser rifle? Nate managed to do that work.

At least ghouls didn’t have a chance.

The vault suited man can receive a hit by a supermutant hammer and not being annoyed at all.

A fucking Deathclaw can throw him into the ground like a kid with a toy and if he is in Psyco it would just shake his head a bit and nothing more.

Raiders with a minigun? No problem, some Med-X and gotta gofastfastgaster to the objective and blow up his brain.

Gosh so risky.

Still, so brave.

And full of energy, and anger, agony, desire of vengeance and resentment.

A lot of negative emotions drive Nate to fist supermutant in the face and make it explode.

Making it something that really amazed Danse.

Nate was a dangerous man, that will do everything to complete his goals, but he didn’t feel threatened by him.

But such a strong determination make Danse the chance to develop more deeping feelings than just admiration…

When Nate flirted with him the first time and Danse responded that he was surprised but he would take the time to think about it…he meant it serious.

But yeah, the vault suited man sometimes get on his nerves, he was still, to rigid from what he was told his entire existence, about rules and things worked in the Brotherhood. It was a process, a transformation, he often correct himself to say things he would say…if he was still in the Brotherhood…better left that chapter go slowly…

-To make you the point that im not so ruined like a raider I tell you something, when I was in the military I saved enough money for my wife to not work, have a baby and be at home with our newborn for a lot of time, as I was retired like a veteran, and despite having all that money I didn’t do drugs, god, there was money in this country, so much money, so much growing and progress…-despite that anecdotes weren’t a reliave font of data for a search or manuscript, it was so interesting hearing Nate talk about Pre-War, obviously Danse had a lot of Brotherhood transcripted data with their vision of the world still, but it was pretty similar with Nate point of view of how he lived that ages.

-Don’t worry, ill cover your ass when your agility is compromised by some chem and take you to the closest doctor as possible

-Love you, althought im the one that cover your ass if you know what I mean…-and Danse hits on his head with his laser rifle, god, buffouts doesn’t really makes you high?

-You are unbereable like this.

-Leave it all to the chemmy boyfriend

I mean, it seems the bigger issue is that Elrond and Eowyn are wearing armour that makes sense and someone might actually wear (and, what are you on about 'piecemeal' Eowyn is wearing a full set of armor) while young Elrond is wearing the hight of elvish fashion: a brown sack and brown everything else, and Galadriels armor is nonsense and looks like its made of aluminium. Her weird elbow things look like an excellent way for an orc to pin her arms to the ground.

the decrease in costuming quality over the last 20 years has been soooo precipitous & nauseating. i’m not even talking abt marvel’s cg supersuits or anything this time, look at the fabric quality, structure, layering, character, and craftsmanship of older costumes in 102 dalmations (2000) vs cruella (2021)

ever after (1998) vs cinderella (2021)

lord of the rings (2001-2003) vs the rings of power (2022)

this trend should upset you not just because it looks cheap, but because it suggests a strong anti-art and anti-labor movement in film and tv making. don’t forget costumers are unionized

Are Protective Cases Worth the Investment for Audio Equipment?

So here you are, splurging on a new audio setup with the speakers, mixers, and maybe even a few microphones. With your glorious new gear staring you in the face, that question creeps into your head: Do I really need to spend money on protective cases for all this?

" Okay, let's talk about cases. And by the end of this blog, you'll know whether to whip out that credit card for some sweet, sweet protection.

1. Protection from the Elements

First off, let's address the perils your audio kit might come up against. When you're out at gigs, or just moving things around in your pad, there is all manner of enemy to evade: moisture, dust, and the occasionally spilled drink (grateful thanks, Jerry). Protective cases go a bit like armor protecting gear from the outside world. Imagine that beautiful shiny new mixer, left defenseless, suddenly exposed to a rogue rain storm. Not cool, right? A good case can protect your equipment from damage and dry it out.

Types of Protective Cases

Selecting a case, which helps to protect from the elements, is also very important. There are a few different types:

Hard Cases: These are made with robust material such as molded plastic or aluminium. They protect against impact very well and keep rain or moisture out.

Soft Cases: Soft cases are of low weight. They are often padded. Though they cannot be as hard as the hard cases, they are effective for storage in indoors and even for light translocation.

Weatherproof Cases:If you're going to be outdoors for a long time and that too frequently, look for weatherproof cases. These will let in moisture and dust and debris but will not permit those things to compromise the case.

Tip: If you do most of your gigs outdoors or in uncertain environments, look for the water-resistant or weatherproof cases!

2. Avoiding Physical Damage

Accidents happen, people. You may bump your gear into something hard while loading in or out, or maybe your buddy decides to use your speaker as a seat during the final song of the night. A good protective case will absorb impact, and your equipment won't be a victim of a bad decision or simply clumsy yourself.

Shock Absorption Features

Most protective cases carry features that are devised to cushion or absorb shock:

Foam Padding: Some carrying cases are filled with foam, and they can be tailored to fit your gear perfectly. Foam padding prevents movement and reduces the chances of your equipment getting damaged while moving.

Reinforced Corners: Look out for reinforced corners in the case. These are where the case is most prone to getting damaged, and that little more reinforcement around the corners will save your equipment.

Fun Fact: Some cases will even have foam inserts that are molded to hold your equipment. And there you have it: a personalized pillow for your mixer!

3. Transport Convenience

The last thing I will mention, is that protective cases make transport much easier for somebody like me who likes to take their audio equipment on the go. Many come with handles and wheels, sometimes even straps to cart all your gear about like a rock star, it's not so terrible, and they often stack neatly loading up your car like a Tetris master.

Ease of Use

Now imagine that, actually, you carry your mixer inside your luggage, say you arrive for a gig. You do not awkwardly carry that heavy thing; you have that big case so you can simply roll it into the room with ease. Most cases are designed to be user-friendly and can transport all your gear easily.

Wheels and Pull Handles: Some cases have wheels and pull handles, which makes a difficult process become an easy, fast ride; this also makes it a pleasure when you are moving about, especially for professional instruments like survey equipment or other pieces of machinery to move around.

Modular Cases: If you have much equipment or gear, modular cases are ideal for tailoring how you want your piece of equipment to be carried. Stackable cases can also help save some space and transportation becomes easier in the process.

Humor Break: You don't have to play the "careful, don't drop that!" game every time you load in gear. Instead, just roll on up like the audio boss you are!

4. Organizational Benefits

Yet another unsung virtue of protective cases is the organized manner in which they offer. Most of the cases have compartments and pockets, so you can place all your cables, microphones, and other accessories in one place. Say goodbye to digging around your bag as if you were searching for a missing sock-you will always know where everything is!

Tips for Organization

Cable Management: Cable management: There's no question you want your case to have dedicated cable slots and accessory areas. This will save you a lot of time and headaches at gigs.

Labels and Color Coding: You can label your cases so that you know what type of gear is in them, or you can use color codification according to the type of gear. Using this approach will allow you to grab exactly what you need instead of going through the heap.

Pro Tip: Organization will make the gig less stressed. The more you know where things are, the better because that way nothing seems important but the music.

5. Cost-Effectiveness Over Time

One has to face the elephant in the room, though-the cost. So, yes, a protective case is often pricey, and you may wonder whether it's the right investment. Still, the cost of an effective protective case is but a fraction of repairing or even buying new gear. And if you happen to drop your $500 mixer, then you are in for repairs or even have to replace the whole thing. Well, at that point you'd be shelling out a great deal more than you could have spent on a case.

Quick Math:

If you're going to save you $500 in a repair, the investment in one of those protective cases has been covered at $100.

Warranty Considerations: Some manufacturers will cover accidental damage under their warranty if you are using a protective case. The ideal would be to verify that your gear is in this category.

Depreciation: Gear that is kept in good condition does not depreciate as fast. Should you want to sell your gear at some point in the future, the investment in protective cases ensures it stays in outstanding condition, meaning you get a better resale value.

6. Reputation and Resale Value

Lastly, we have resale value. If you really take good care of your audio equipment, it'll look better when you're prepared to sell or upgrade. This means that your equipment will be in pristine condition, making it quite easy to fetch a decent price when it's time to let go. Value in Good Condition

The Value of Good Condition

Less Wear and Tear: Gear stored in protective cases usually undergoes less wear and tear. This can be particularly crucial for high-end gear since even small scratches or dents could mean all the difference between a good and poor resale value.

Documentation: If you have maintained your gear well, you can provide documentation to potential buyers. It can include original receipts and information on how you've maintained it. This builds credibility in your sale.

In short, you hope you never need them, but a protective case is like your seatbelt with your audio equipment: it's nice to have just in case. Many professional audio shops like VIP PRO AUDIO would mostly also offer cases to add to your protection. Whether you are a professional DJ, home studio wizard, or weekend warrior, spending money on protective cases will save you time, money, and heartache down the road.
