There’s a very subtle redemption for Cooper. He’s gone very gradually from ‘I do this shit for the love of the game’ to being driven by something more complex. He’s been reminded of his principles and how he lost them. He’s found himself marked by the epithet his old self used to label characters his character killed. Ugly, strong, and dignified. He is, in a sense, a bit more human than he was when he first came out of the grave.
He was alive when he was buried, and kept from going feral. Was he unconscious for those years (unknown how many) or conscious?. If conscious, what did he think about? Probably revenge. Probably figuring out who he needed to take revenge on. Now he’s been out and he’s had that interaction with Lucy. He’s still putting some information together and doesn’t know everything. He’s got pieces of the puzzle no one else does. He might have some form of redemption but it’s going to be ambiguous.
@@MarcosElMalo2Yes, I’m aware. Judging by the fact that he’d worked with the father of the guy that dug him up, it’s reasonable to assume his burial was fairly recent, and had only been a thing for a handful of years out of the literal centuries he’d been wastelanding. What’s your point?
Sarita Choudhury who plays Lee Moldaver caught my attention when she starred in Mississippi Masala alongside Denzel Washington in 1991. I have been following her since that movie. 😉
I think we already saw an act of mercy from Coop but we didn't even realize it. When "the government" captured him for messing up the organ dealership, he admits that he did that. But he didn't! Lucy did! And he never even mentions her and takes the credit. Could he have been repaying her for the vials by making sure those guys wouldn't ever go after her?
On the note of Star Wars, you can see what brilliance they can achieve with freedom to write something fresh and deep with Andor. My favourite Star Wars thing ever.
Vault 4 wasn’t running on cold fusion. It was running on a fusion core… sort of a precursor technology derived from nuclear power. It’s bulkier, not as powerful. Not quite as inexhaustible.
BTW the prices on the Red Rocket wasn’t under $2.00 - the fusion coolant was selling for $139.99 a gallon on the day the bombs dropped. Inflation was ****ing insane in pre-war America. Most magazines in the game had cover prices of like $35 (which is ironic because some speciality paper magazines left are actually selling for those kind of prices NOW 😂) Also it was a direct callback to Fallout 4 - their gas sign looked identical, down to the price.
Imagine what a serious breath of fresh air she must have been in Maximus' life! As an army vet, he is my absolute favorite; I get him and his motivations a bit more. 😎
It’s crazy seeing Erik Estrada in this, and he did a great job with what little he got to do. I’m wondering if this is the last we see of what I’m assuming is an ex-NCR Ranger.
“There’s an experiment in all the vaults” That’s only partially true. Most values were experiments, but any scientist will tell you that in order to effectively judge the data garnered from experimentation you need a baseline to compare against; an unmodified sample to contrast the variations against. You need a control group. So there were vaults that had active experiments, and there were vaults that were exactly what they said on the tin, run according to the protocols Vault Tec outlined publicly for the goal of creating self-sustaining communities that could survive until radiation had diminished and ultimately repopulate the surface. I don’t think they ever designate an exact percentage, but I believe the ratio of experiments to control groups was something like 9 to 1. 10% of the vaults were control groups operating as advertised. The rest were, in one form or another, experiments… and the only reason the control groups got to exist was so that the experiments would have data to compare against.
To be clear, I’m pretty sure NONE of the vaults we’ve seen have been control vaults. Just the fact that 33, 32, and 31 were trading personnel shows that they weren’t control groups.
You forgot to cut off the Patreon portion. Not complaining, lets us have a glimpse of what we miss by being poor UA-camrs. The one thing glossed over by y'all which made me straight up give up on new Ghoul kid, is him putting that dog in the soda box, that was messed up, that dog was left for dead in a cell and his end would've been horrific. I hate animal cruelty so yeah, I have no time for that dude anymore. At all.
I loved that line: “We all are [cowards], Norm… that’s why we live in a Vault.”
This series has some truly FIRE quotes!
Norm couldn’t even say nun he knew that’s why he didn’t go with Lucy and was feeling a type of way about it
It took me 7 episodes to work out Betty is Blind Al from Deadpool 😅
No f'ing way! Lol.
It was bugging me where I'd seen her before, but I'd never have guessed that.😂

So no one is going to mention how awesome it was that the RedRocket gas station looked exactly like the game! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Such the crush I had on her!!!!!
I’ve loved her hair ever since i laid eyes on her. #Goals
The young lady with the eyepatch wanted those raiders dead also. 🤨

This opening scene is totally a reference to The Good, The Bad and The Ugly 😮
I can see it now that you've mentioned it.
Was there a wooden spoon?
All of Coops Ghoul scenes are western based, when he shoots up Filly reminds me of Tombstone or Unforgiven
They went out of there ways to make the residents of Vault 4 the shadiest when they are the sweetest 😂
Walton Goggins has been good in everything I have seen him in...from Django and The Righteous Gemstones as Uncle Baby Billy so funny and talented
Boyd Crowder in Justified.
I didn’t even have to go to Patreon today for the full breakdown 💪🏼😂

I incorporated the word “penultimate” into my vocabulary at an early age and misused it for many years. 😊

I wonder in the next season that we’ll be introduced to some energy weapons
I would hope so. New seasons typically mean upgrades everywhere
wit, how did you guys know her dad was destroying stuff before now?
THANKS for this!!!!!!
Our pleasure!

You are treating us to the patron on UA-cam?! Thank you!!
Should be up now.
Justified brought Walton Goggins to my attention. 😉
Me too. Such a great role for him.
Are you putting the Patreon on UA-cam now? 🤔
It should already be up.
@@Syntell I should have made myself clear. We viewed the Patreon portion of your post without being Patreon members. Thanks for the deep dive. 😉
I'm ready for this episode. 😉
Kinda reminds me of "The platform", lower number has best food and its all really just a social experiment for rich investors.
