Nothing Exciting Ever Happens Here	comment	Where is the most dangerous place on the planet to live? Not the city where something exciting is always happening. Not Mordor. Not a Haunted Headquarters. Not the crime-ridden big city. Not even Tokyo. Not even a Place Worse Than Death. The most dangerous place to live in is the small, quiet, unknown town where "nothing exciting ever happens." Aliens landing in UFOs? They're parked in the middle of a deserted cornfield in a rural town where cattle outnumber people. Is there a magical gateway between worlds? It's in the big house in the country where you were preparing to spend the most boring summer of your life. Is there a mysterious gigantic cavern hidden just beneath the Earth's surface, wherein aliens once upon a time created all life on Earth? There's probably a secret door in your friend's dad's basement that leads right to it. New serial killer on the loose? Bodies are piling up in a small town where nothing like this has ever happened before. Plague or Zombie Apocalypse spreading? The epicenter was in that middle-of-nowhere redneck town that your grandpa hails from. Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny? The county fairgrounds have your front row seats. Looking for the leader of a secret global organization of werewolves? He's enjoying a sub at the mom-and-pop pizza parlor downtown. Emo Teen moving with their divorced mother out of the Big Applesauce into the sleepy suburbs? They'll be hiding Batman in their basement, recruited into a team of superpower-granted teenagers or starting a mission to Save Both Worlds by the end of the first episode. How can I turn my own boring, mundane neighborhood or small Flyover Country town into a Weirdness Magnet, you ask? Just say the magic words "Nothing Exciting Ever Happens Here," and let Tempting Fate do its work. Be Careful What You Wish For (after all, you don't know what genre you're in) and don't say we didn't warn you! Compare Aliens in Cardiff and Everytown, America. Contrast Quirky Town. See Ordinary High-School Student for when this happens to a person. See also Small Town Boredom. Everyone's going to assume that wherever you live, nothing exciting has ever happened, and if you live in a city that no one has ever heard of, it's because Nothing Exciting Ever Happened There, so no straight Real Life examples should be mentioned.

Nothing Exciting Ever Happens Here / int_6c1d09b4	comment	Fallout 4 is set in Boston, 200 years after the nuclear apocalypse. In one side quest, you meet a boy who thinks he can see a sea monster. It turns out to be a pre-war submarine, which is still running. If you tell him that it was a submarine, he says "Nothing exciting ever happens here!" Depending on how much time you have been spending on side quests and exploring, it is entirely possible that you will find the quest after Boston has been invaded by an airship full of soldiers in power armour, and maybe even after a nuclear explosion. The boy will still say that nothing exciting ever happens there.

Neil's insistence that the town is perfect and uneventful ("There's no X in Coolum", X being something crime-related is a bit of a catch-phrase for him), at night the town becomes full of supernatural goings-on. The show focuses on Officer Banks' attempts to deal with these events, which include ghosts, undead cats, and an addictive jingle that drives people mad.

Eli later learns that Sanders is one of those towns that got "stuck" in history, 1988 in this case. He refuses to accept it at first, but then realizes it's true after thinking back. Apparently, it's not unusual to have towns that are stuck at a certain period in history. They make a useful transition point for Searchers.

Cut to the Margaret Slitheen engineering her Evil Plan for the city, which ultimately culminates in a world-threatening earthquake and almost causes an Apocalypse How. Leadworth, home of Rory and Amy. It's a completely boring, normal English town... of course, then the Doctor lands there, so you know it won't stay like that for long. "Amy's Choice": Rory and the Doctor both say this about Upper Leadworth, although Rory meant it as a compliment. Naturally, because it's a dream created by the Doctor's Enemy Without, things aren't going to stay that way.

To save face for having to admit to committing such an atrocity by putting him on court-martial, the marines simply reassign him as far out of the way as they could to oversee a very mild-mannered operation being undertaken by a large government contractor, the Union Aerospace Corporation, on the moons of Mars. However, thanks to their experiments with teleporting matter through Hell, The Legions of Hell end up overrunning the bases stationed on Phobos and Deimos and what was supposed to be a mundane mission turns into a brutal fight for survival.

Fogg himself never wavers in his routine; he never travels, he has no business to attend to, and he never makes a public appearance except for his daily trip to the Reform Club to play whist. Enter Passepartout, Fogg's new manservant. He's looking forward to a nice quiet gig, and he delightedly comments on how mundane and predictable his master is. On the very day that Passepartout enters Fogg's service, however, that same ordinary gentleman makes an extraordinary wager and embarks on a mad dash around the world.
