"Nicknames: Renaldo" LMFAOAO

Edited

That tripped me up for a minute, until I remembered that Joe was meeting with Dr. Nicky, he'd call her Renaldo when he would talk about his relationship with Beck. 😅

LMAOOO

Ah yes…December 3th

In fairness, saying dates like that sounds super Medieval and I kind of dig it

It does sound super medieval and pretty sexy as well lol, but it is a lot older than that! Julian Calendar is almost 2,000 years old, and the thing is, we used Julian Calendar for like 1800 years, until 1800s I believe, correct me if I’m wrong please. The reason why we changed the calendar because we spotted an error by 11 minutes a day, saving up to 10 days. So we ditched Julian Calendar completely and went to Gregorian Calendar that we are all using at the moment. The thing is about Julian Calendar was that it completely changed the Roman Empire, and others as well, because it made sense at the time, and the calendar included the leap year as well! The Julian Calendar was pretty gorgeous to look at as well. The most interesting aspect about the Julian Calendar’s discovery somewhere in Italy was a high amount of days off, a high amount of religious activity, and the rest of work and others, I remembered this from my lectures so, again correct me if I’m wrong lol.

Bro the wiki also said joe is italian and israeli, like he prob of jewish ancestry cuz Goldberg is a jewish last name but doesn't mean he's israeli lmaoo. And italian doesnt make sense too

u/Cold-January avatar

ikr. the Italian part comes from his mom's last name (Librelato).

u/FoldAdministrative14 avatar

Oh damn i didnt know that was her last name, in s4 he does look a bit italian

u/Sandwhichwings32 avatar

He always looks Southern Italian, but mostly Jewish, Probably because of his dark hair.

In the book, his father's last name was Passero. Goldberg was his mom's last name.

He mentions one of his parents is Jewish and the other is catholic

She does have the bone structure of a Fraulein.

She’s dead, that’s what she is

u/Ok_Resist_2689 avatar

Bro that was savage and hilarious thank you

Good news, she’s not dead. She’s fictional. 🤣

Interesting they have her birthdate listed, she's 2 years younger than Elizabeth Lail which would've made her 24 in Season 1. Sounds about right

u/TerriArdor avatar

At least in the book, Beck explicitly says just before Joe kills her that she is 24. It doesn't mention when her birthday is so it's possible that she is 24-turning-25 or that she turned 24 that year, but Beck is supposed to be 24.

Seeing her age kinda stresses me out bc she’s close to my age. So the idea that her character was only 24 when she died is just disturbing to me.

I am her age so I feel that lol. I had a hard time getting past her death when I watched Season 1 for the first time 2 weeks ago and I didn't even know her exact age. It's just a fictional TV show at the end of the day though, I'd like to think if it happened IRL Beck would be smart enough to leave his apartment immediately after finding the box, take the keys when she locked him in the cage, hit him more than once with the mallet, etc.

Peach's Facebook stated that they were in Freshman year of college in 2011. So I think a birth year of 1991-92 would be more accurate for Beck.

I mean Beck is literally a German name..

Uh ok. That doesn’t mean she has German citizenship

Having a German name doesn’t entitle someone to German citizenship?

u/Caramel_Cheesecake93 avatar

Nope it does not, but someone with a German name being German shouldn't come as a surprise..

Isn’t it really, really common for American people to have names that originate in other countries while only holding American citizenship?

u/Caramel_Cheesecake93 avatar

I dont live in America so it might be, but again wouldn't it be more common for someone of German descent to have a German name ?

This is site is always full of inaccuracies. There’s times it provides plots for characters or episodes of a show that never happened or only happened in fan fiction

Show changing discovery

Possibly pulling from the books or outside media?

Her dad gave me massive German vibes

Didn’t she go to some sort of European festival in S1? I may be mistaken. It’s been awhile.

No, it was a Dickens festival.

Right, that’s what it was. For some reason I was getting details from that episode mixed up with the one from Atlanta.

Atlanta? When was that? I can't seen to remember. Honestly, I knew it was a literature festival but I had to look up which author.

I’m pretty sure it was Season 2 Episode 4 or maybe Season 3 Episode 2. Either one. I’m pretty sure it was a Swiss carnival.

u/SignificanceSad7266 avatar

u/VermicelliRoyal2652 avatar
