The cold fusion code was the release date of the original Fallout game.
as soon as I saw that number configuration I thought it must have been, cool!
I figured, I was wondering where that number was from
"And war, well.. War never changes".
I've been waiting for that line all season, and they nailed the delivery.
They nailed it both times.
@KaiserReinhard That would've been an amazing icing on the cake, but i'm still overall quite happy with how they did it.
@KaiserReinhardMaybe for the opening of season 2?
@KaiserReinhard I miss his voice but I think they still did well with it in this story.
@KaiserReinhard It looks like the Ghouls wife is probably the one that pitched the term to all the CEO's. Remember she was responsible for their marketing. So she helped her husband Cooper Howard become the spokeperson for vault tech witch coined Vault boy and his thumbs up. Even the blue and gold colors was inspired by her marketing. And then she pitched "War never changed" Bam. Makes sense that the head of marketing would be the spear head for all of vault tecs pitches and phrases and marketing.
The subtitles called the robot “brain on a roomba”. lol.
Lol.
😂 Discount Robobrain 😂
It was actually Bud Askins' brain
LMAO
The Ghoul literally wants to talk to the manager LoL
"talk"
@@vkdeen7570well his wife might be one of the managers
@@cjmk5923 maybe , that would be dark if she was the honcho
@@vkdeen7570 well, he is going to ask them where his fucking family is before he shoots them... So, yeah, talk lol
The Ghoul is a Karen 😂
I was not expecting the ghoul to be her mom, that was unexpected emotional damage.
Me either!
The second she walked in the room and they showed the ghoul, I KNEW it was. Way to predictable imo~ If they didnt focus on it and let it just be set dressing, then it would have been surprising and less obvious, but focusing on it multiple times just screams "I'm a surprise!" (and there were was only one female we know who is "dead" that would be a gut punch/surprise for Lucy).
For some reason I did. I think it's because they said they buried the big boy with her and we knew her it was used to get in the bunker.
@@TheDigitalThreatme too lol
@@believeume122 sorry. It's Pip Boy
"Okey dokey" - Goosey Maclean
😂
It says it right there on the ledger! (I was hoping for a useless plot twist where it turned out that Goosey actually was her real name all along, but her parents hated it so called her Lucy instead. Also would have been ironically poetic with the whole name thing going on all season. Williams/Moldaver, Titus/Maximus, Henry/Hank, and we could have had Goosey/Lucy)
@@L0ad1ng45same
4:09 - Bud’s little car foreshadowing his future in 200yrs lol
I just realize those hahah
I laughed myself silly when I realized he was on a Roomba instead of being one of the larger robobrains. Vault-Tec to Bud back in the day, "You'll live forever and in the end really clean up the place!"
Woah, didn't realize that.
Lucy’s silence for the remainder of the episode after finding out what happened to her mom is SO LOUD. You can almost feel the stress, anger and sadness she’s feeling. Without much being said
just a bad offspring
Silence except for when she tells Maximus who destroyed Shady Acres.
not even true, u just tried to make a deep point
@@kgjekdl it definitely is true i remember noticing how the only thing she said for like 10 minutes was just "give the code dad", great writing
@@ARJJ02 She did say something for the rest of the episode correct? Yes
Can’t wait to see New Vegas in Live Action!
It may not be what you expect. This show takes place many years after New Vegas.
@@gregheath8106 Looking at the credit scene, New Vegas looks completely destroyed. The wall to the Strip is open, and a bunch of the landmarks from the game looks destroyed.
@@TehIdiotOneprobably that way they will avoid to canonize a ending since probably all endings would lead to the same outcome, more factions and infighting destroying New Vegas
@@MrSmile078 That's my assumption too
Mr House probably got in a space ship and got the hell off planet once he realized Vegas was going to still be destroyed after all.
I love how Lucy's "okey dokey" tone changed from the first ep. to the end.
I like the callback in the previous episode where Coop talks about how a villain doesn’t believe they’re the villain. Totally foreshadowed his wife.
They did a good job of making her motivation to be a villain seem natural and organic up to the point of the reveal. Like the hints were there,
Hank
How awful that Matthew Perry didn't live to see this series come to life, he loved the Fallout 3 and even did a voiceover in Fallout New Vegas....
I thought that too, if he was alive and well, he'd have at least a cameo in this.
Ill forever miss that man
Yep be one of the knights 😊
Ella Purnell has been a part of two successful video game live action. She is the voice actor for Jinx in Arcane and now she is one of the lead character in Fallout.
You mean video game adaptations not live action
And had to staple herself twice.
She's so fucking good
She is easily one of my favorite actresses after this.
She's in Yellowjackets too and she's great in that as well!
Was fun doing a rewatch after finishing the show. Certain things hit harder with all the context, like episode 7 when Lucy told Max "If my dad knew that I destroyed an entire community just to save him, it'd break his heart."
That's my girl. I knew you would grow into the family business.
"I thought the light in our farm was the real sun until I was six..."
It *wasn't* the light in her farm...she *remembers* the real sun...
Bruh I missed so much shit😭 I didn't even pick up that Henry was Hank☠️
"War... war never changes."
Probably the first thing we heard playing Fallout 1. :)
One of the first things we hear in every game :)
I knew they were gonna use that line at some point and hoped it wouldn't feel cheesy or forced, and it didn't. It really hammered home the point that Vault-Tec was indeed the devil (something fans of the game already knew, but ppl going in blind didn't necessarily)
My first my first one was fallout 3 been in love ever since
Can't wait for season two, seeing the torn city of Vegas is going to be crazy.
has that been confirmed? seeing a few comments about that.
@@CinePals Yes its new vegas, from fallout new vegas the game
@@CinePals Yes, the final scene was Hank MacLane looking at New Vegas in the distance(you can see the Lucky 38 casino), as well as showing the "Welcome to Fabulous New Vegas" in the credits. That's the poster for the Fallout New Vegas video game.
It should be said though that in the credit scene, New Vegas looks completely destroyed and deserted. Curious what might have caused that.
@@CinePals It's from the games, yes. Fallout: New Vegas
God I hope house and the legion survived
How didn't I notice Bud's little weird car is exactly like his "brain on a roombah" final form. God this show rules lol
fun fact: the code that Lucy's dad gave is the release date of the first fallout game, which is 10/10/97
also if you are a fallout fan who's played all the main games, you would've freaked out seeing New Vegas at the end where Lucy's dad went (the one you called LAX and Seattle lol)
I really wonder what ending they're going to make it canon, I think that is the House ending, otherwise it would be a little bit pointless that they show New Vegas completely destroyed and no trace of Mr. House, but again New Vegas seems like destroyed or something.
@@julicrack5448 IIRC in one of the endings, you can choose to destroy Hoover Dam which implies the downfall of New Vegas in the end game cut scene.
That and the Deathclaw skull
The Ghoul is basically like a high level player who knows all the weak spots and best tactics.
Cooper Howard was definitely my favorite character in the show.
An amazing performance by Walt Goggins.
I didn't quite realize until you mentioned it that Maximus just accidentally led the charge to eradicate one of the last remnants of his own people.
Come season 2, I can't imagine he's gonna be in a particularly good place.
Everyone who played the games at the end, "NEW! VEGAS! NEW! VEGAS! NEW! VEGAS!"
I think we're in for some heartbreak, because if you look closer, the city looks desolate. In the Strip, there's corpses in the streets, deathclaw skulls, crashed NCR Vertibird and the gate to the Strip blown open.
@@TehIdiotOne could be the origins of the city potentially too. Downfall or origins, both would be cool. 😎
Maybe the power grid being up now will bring the city to life?
@@hanksilman4016how could it be the origins when it’s set after new vegas?
@@MrGogo164 well I mean just like this season. A scenario where we see both, beginning and end. If there’s a conduit character like The Ghoul.
@@hanksilman4016 In the timeline the show is about 7~9 years from FO4, which means is way after NV as well. We shouldn't be surprised if the city is in ruins and they explain what happens. The show is canon after all. I know some die hard NV fans will go feral, but if they give a good explanation, I don't care.
In the end, all of our main characters got what they were looking for at the start of the story. And none of them liked it, they were no longer the same people.
Wasteland changes you 😉
The Ghouls story was to me by far the best one. Because it is incredibly paradoxical idea that The Vault boy, the symbol of all vault dwellers and THE Symbol of Vaults protection against Radiation is a 200 (something) years old Ghoul pumped up with rads and is out to kill and destroy everyone and everything vaguely related to Vault Tec!
Cooper: "You want another autograph, young Henry?"
Hank: "I must depart!"
Excellent writing
I honestly feel as bad for Lucy as I do for Cooper/The Ghoul. Both were not only horribly lied to by the person they loved the most, but those people (Barb and Hank) are also responsible for the genocide of countless people.
This is one of the best season finales I’ve ever seen! Not only does it unravel most of the mysteries setup throughout the show, it also expands the lore of the entire Fallout franchise in a monumental way.
7:27 also DAMNIT ACHARA! How are you so goddamn clever!?!?
did buds buds know that vault tech was going to drop the bombs?
@@houseofaction I'd imagein he did not, probably still doesnt even know the whole purpose of all of this.
@@houseofaction Aside from that, I don’t think the episode is really saying that Vault Tec necessarily did drop the bomb, just that they absolutely would if they decided it was necessary and they likely were involved in manipulating the conflict away from peace. There’s long been contradictory information about who launched first, and several factions that were at least considering starting it themselves including the Enclave, and message logs suggesting almost everyone was caught off guard with the war starting before they planned. The enclave had a lot of people caught away from their planned bunkers, the daughter of a Vault Tec senior exec that was high enough to lead that big of a meeting not being in a safe place at least suggests they may not have expected it either… They might intend it to be taken as “Vault Tec did start the war directly”, won’t know unless/until they show more about that later, but it would be very consistent for them to have just been giving us yet another manipulative faction with dreams of “winning” a nuclear war and underestimating the chaos.
The person representing RobCo is Robert House (Mr. House), who is one of the factions in New Vegas. Also, Frederick Sinclair from Big MT (Old World Blues DLC) is the man who had the Sierra Madre casino built (Dead Money DLC)
I love how the Ghoul and Lucy are just perfect narrative foils for each other. They're like both sides of the same coin.
Ramin Djawaldi's composition during the flashback with Lucy's mom was absolutely chilling. Well done
Dane saying there’s no leaving the brotherhood, is a reference to a character defecting in New Vegas. The brotherhood slaughtered the faction she tried to join.
The juxtaposition of the jolly old timer music and the gore is very deliberate. In the game you can have your radio on on your pip boy while you kill enemies. Especially when you use V.A.T.S and time slows down, they have captured this so well. As a fallout fan this is a 10/10
They even captured it when I give my followers in the game all my items for them to carry.
Man the truth was staring us right in the face, we just didn't realize that yet
That was a pretty crazy subversion. I was just thinking that ghoul was a pet.
The context clues were right there from the beginning too. Makes it actually fun to re-watch now that you know.
I loved how the finale flipped the script and changed our perspective. White is black, up is down. Vault Tech is now the overarching enemy, Brotherhood of Steel are zealots and imperialists, and Lucy/Max finally got their wish when they no longer wanted it.
For those of us that has played the games, could see a lot of that coming from miles away, Vault Tec are the literal devils(because we've come across and seen firsthands the experiments mentioned in the board room scene), and BoS are largely dickheads throughout the games too, with a few exceptions from certain Elders and chapters.
wdym "flipped the script"? They followed it to a T. If you read the lore and played 100% of all fallout games (except the disgusting 76) then all this is known
More people are watching this than played the game. So, why are you assuming random strangers on the Internet know the lore? You're assuming because you know something everyone does@@stoffelthedestroyer3741
@@stoffelthedestroyer3741FO 76 goes in the basket with Ghostbusters 2016.😅
@@stoffelthedestroyer3741
I guess they meant from the eyes of someone with no knowledge of it.
I have memory of walking through quite a few fucked up vaults and know how terrible the brotherhood could be but I am also a longtime fallout fan. Though I will admit, it should be obvious how the brotherhood is from about episode 2 (they dont hide it and are proud of it in fact) and Vault Tec was shown to be increasingly sketchy. But I guess someone going in blind has a different perspective
Achara's ability to pick up on foreshadowing and make accurate predictions impresses me every time. Not just in this series but in every TV show reaction series. She's low-key psychic, that one!
I cant believe how well the show was put together. Walton Goggins as the ghoul is awesome. He is one of my favorite actors especially as an antagonist . If you haven't watched it yet, definitely check him out in the show Justified
Aaron Motten went to Julliard and he's playing a character similar to GOTG's Star Lord 🥳
NEW VEGAS BABY, as a Las Vegas resident and a diehard Fallout New Vegas fan..
I am beyond excited for what Season 2 has waiting for us.
Edit: Season 2 has been confirmed.
I'm slightly worried about the lore, but still super stoked to see what they do with New Vegas
@TehIdiotOne nah its fine. There's multiple endings in each game so why would it matter. Conflicts still happen even after the games end they say so themselves
@@TehIdiotOneThe show is many years after the New Vegas game, so it's not going to be the same.
@@Dr.HooWho I guess. I also looked at the ending credits again, and from the looks of it, New Vegas looks deserted and pretty much completely destroyed.
@@TehIdiotOne I get it man, I do.
But after starving for more great Fallout content and seemingly finally eating good with this show releasing, I'm fine with change.
It keeps the world of Fallout feeling lived in, ya know.
Time doesn't stop for the people in Fallout when we stop playing the games, time still moves forward.
The NCR ending of FNV is considered the more canon among them, with them taking the Hoover Dam and all which requires the killing of Mr. House like a majority of the other endings also require.
But they might finally pick one of them to be THE canon ending and who knows, it could be any of them (most likely either the NCR one, Yes Man ending or maybe even the Mr. House ending).
Edit: if Season 2 is as good as this Season was, I honestly do not care which way they go with it as long as it is compelling and fits narrative-wise.
19:10 was foreshadowed earlier in the show when he was doing the commercial and talked to bud about how that flaw got men killed
He was talking about the t-45, not the t-60.
@@quartzninja he literally said “I wonder if they fixed that on these new models…. I guess not”
@@quartzninjathat’s still fits every category of foreshadowing…there was an implied weakness on the armor that he knew about earlier in the show, then exploited it later in the show. the model meant nothing because it was never fixed. He was even talking about the T45 in that scene… then switched to questioning the armor they were wearing.
All the reveals in this finale were CRAZY. Ive never played Fallout, so I had no idea about the lore. However, I loved this show, and the fantastic sets, practical effects and acting by Walton Goggin, Ella Purnell, Max Moten and Moises Arias were all outstanding in this show. The twist that Hank, as well as other Vault dwellers from 2077 like Betty and what's left of Bud Adkins, was responsible for nuking Shady Sands and killing thousands, including his own wife and Maximus's family, honestly blew my mind. Not to mention the fact that Cooper's wife and the entirety of Vault Co. starting the war, which is INSANITY, to begin with, is so incredibly dark and yet sadly extremely true to how I imagine a lot of governments and businesses would use a nuclear fallout to their advantage. It is also even more grim that you realise all the ideas that the meeting members were suggesting are all tasks that different Vaults are assigned to do in the actual Fallout Games as Vault Dwellers of the game since each Vault is tasked to do some meaningless and unethical experiments that are just a sick game for the Enclave (rich folks at the top). It was really satisfying seeing The Ghoul shoot Henry even if he survived, and Lucy having to kill her own barely alive mother just to stop her suffering as a Ghoul is so tragic, especially when all she wanted to do was to live her own life with Moldaver who actually loved her and give her children a better future. I really hope Maximus uses his power as a knight to do some real good, and I genuinely hope he can reunite with Lucy again because the two of them are too good for this world, and they deserve happiness together, as well as the Ghoul/aka Cooper. One thing I especially loved about this series is how every action in the show has some reaction or consequence at the end of the day, such as how Lucy lets all the Ghouls free, which is apparently very similar gameplay tactics to the original games that do the same thing having players's actions impact them.
I NEED THEM TO ANNOUNCE A SEASON 2! I especially hope that teasing at the end with New Vegas and the skull of a Deathclaw means a Season 2 is bound to happen.
Yep, yep, yep!
As a player of the games(Fallout 3, New Vegas and Fallout 4), i was pretty happy they finally confirmed the long standing theory that Vault Tec dropped the first bombs. It was hinted at here and there, but never confirmed.
I have to say though, i'm a little bit worried about the lore with regards to NCR and New Vegas in particular.
NCR for example was the most powerful faction in probably all of North America in the decades before the show taking place, controlling much of the west coast. They were of course in decline by the time New Vegas happend(which is about ~15 years before the events of the TV show). They're kinda showing the NCR as if it no longer exists, especially since Shady Sands was the first capital of the NCR.
Another thing, apparently Shady Sands was bombed in 2277, while Fallout New Vegas takes place in 2281, and in the game there is not a single reference whatsoever of any NCR character that their capital has been bombed.
Lastly, Fallout New Vegas has 4 endings, so i'm worried with season 2 they'll have to make one of the endings canon.
@@TehIdiotOne common mistake but it says fall of shady sands in 2277 and then an arrow pointing towards and then the bomb. So it seems like Shady sands was no longer the capital in 2277 (hence first capital of the ncr) and was bombed later
@@TehIdiotOne Todd Howard had one big major rule for the series and that is that the TV show could NOT contradict ANY of the Fallout games endings. At least I read that somewhere, take it with a grain of salt.
@@TehIdiotOne Vault-Tech dropping the bombs isn't confirmed, Vault-Tech willing to drop the bombs is though. I doubt Barb, who seems to have a good amount of power, would drop the bombs knowing her daughter wasn't safe/or have her daughter be somewhere safe on the day they planned to drop the bomb.
Cooper isn't Lucy's Father, but I definitely think, season 2, he'll be more of a dad to her than Henry.
Of course, it's gonna suck when Janey is her mother's daughter and he has to choose between Lucy and her.
@@rzlittle maybe both ? 😭 Lucy deserves a dad🥹🥹
Ella Purnell was phenomenal as Jinx in Arcane and now she's amazing in this. She's two for two with starring in video game adaptations.
"Will you still want the same things when you become a different animal entirely?"
Lee loved Lucy's mom so much that she kept her around close even as a Ghoul
I would consider what Lucy did love not what Lee did. Once Rose started to go feral you would want to ease her suffering. Lee held onto Rose way to much
@@cjmk5923 Both of you are correct actually. It's just perspective and spectrum
@@cjmk5923There was no malice when ending Ghoul Rose. It's more like a symbolic gesture of her basically killing her Vault dweller persona fully.
@@cjmk5923 The NCR isn't as rosy as they claim to be. They're also pretty radicalized and do fucked up shit. Nowhere close to the Brotherhood but there's not really a good faction in Fallout.
@@Dark__Thoughts Deathclaws are a good faction, they want to end the suffering of everyone they meet.
0:26 fun fact: the brotherhood is a lot of things, but they are inclusive, they take people of any gender and race, the only discrimination is given towards ghouls and mutants
So not inclusive at all.
@@cjmk5923 well, compartmentalized inclusiveness. lol.
THIS Brotherhood seems to be inclusive. Historically, they were isolationist technophile xenophobes
Each generation of Maxsons seemed to have their own interpretation of "The one true way". The common thread was their fetish for technology and control of it.
@CinePals to be fair, the Brotherhood has strayed into different iterations. The west coast chapter is isolationist while the DC chapter is more "noble" but both are bigoted towards ghouls and those who they think misuse old world techs.
"where's my fucking family" had so much weight to it
You pointing out that Lucy and "Maximus" could have known each other shocked me! Not only could she have known him, but she might not remember him 1. Because shes repressed all of those memories. And 2. Because "Maximus" is not his real name! The brotherhood gave it to him! She could know him by his REAL name!
Need a young Maxi & Lucy playing/being mates overlayed when they eventually get their happy ending😂
I hope Ella Purnell lands more lead roles. She’s a phenomenal actor 🔥👏
What a series! As a long-time player of the games seeing this NCR remnant taken out by the brotherhood was crushing in the most brilliant way. Cant wait for season 2, viva new vegas!
The Brotherhood got their revenge
We need a NV2
I don't think that's what's left of the NCR it's just the only foothold that is around shady sands. Because in vault 4 they only had on the board "the fall of shady sands" not the fall of the NCR.
@@deadhead8323A lot of fans seem to take that as "fall of the NCR" though. I get it, Shady Sands was basically NCR capitol but that doesn't mean the NCR are completely gone.
@lalalalisa41 exactly. They were probably weakened by it, but they were a pretty big government because they did expand on other lands.
The town at the end that Hank was approaching was Las Vegas, where the fourth Fallout game -- the aptly titled "Fallout: New Vegas" takes place. Its also the home of Robert E. House, the moustachiod member of the illuminati (as CEO of RobCo... the maker of all the robots we saw in the show) as you called them.
For the NV fans of us, the dapper gentleman at 9:21 and 10:23 is none other than our favourite president and CEO, Robert Edwin House. Happy to see him in the flesh!
Fun fact : the cold fusion password is 101097, is the exact date the first fallout game released
I wonder if everyone in that meeting became like Mr. House in Fallout: New Vegas?
Well, without spoiling, we already know what happens to the guy that represents the Big MT corporation. His name is Frederick Sinclair and he plays a huge role in the NV Dead Money DLC.
remember, there was a vault where everyone chose to become brainotrons.
And house was his own entity. totally plausible there are more people who did the same.
That was Mr.House
@@youngrootv*played
With what we know from New Vegas, and the fact that House was the one shown to be skeptical about the vaults in that meeting, House did not go along with Vault-tec's plan.
Of course, the fact that Barb did not have her daughter with her when the bombs hit LA implies that Vault-tec may not have been the one to drop them afterall. The identity of the first to drop the bomb has always been left vague in the games, and ultimately it's not important. As per Fallout 2, "The details are trivial and pointless. The reasons, as always, purely human ones."
The way they revealed Cooper's wife and Lucy's dad to both be horrible people responsible for the nukes was very well done. As a "Twin Peaks" fan, hopefully Kyle MacLachlan has a bigger role next season. Seems like they're setting that up.
I don't think Barb (Cooper's Wife) is a bad person really. I don't think they dropped the bombs, unless something happened to Barb. But if you knew the company you worked for was gonna start the war if America didn't, wouldn't you try to save your family? She even said so in the show, that Vault-Tech exists with or without her and complaining from the sidelines doesn't do much. She even says she keeps working because they'll be able to get in one of the good vaults.
@@legopussy2363 It was literally her idea to drop the nukes on the surface. She's a very bad person.
@@legopussy2363 Yeah, if I found out that the company I work for was making vaults like this and are an all-powerful corporation that owns half of everything, I don't think I'd have much choice of getting out of it in any other way than what she was doing.
@@charlie7mason idk bro, maybe I just hate crazy capitalists like this but I'd like to think I'd try to do something, rather than succumb. At least take the smug pricks with me.
@@cassu6 Oh absolutely what I'd like as well. Just saying that not everyone else may feel the same way. Certainly not with anyone who's not fed up of late-stage capitalism.
The part in every Fallout game after you think you've finished the main quest, but every quest you've done up until that point is now converging on you for one last battle royale to 'save the world'.
I appreciate you guys spending so much time talking about the show after it was over. I think a lot of us just want to meditate on how good this show really was.
Bud having trouble with stairs was great foreshadowing!!!! 😂
Mom reveal got me like that too. What a finale!
Glad you guys enjoyed it as much as I did, never played the games either so felt good going into it blind and learning a lot about this chaotic world that I look forward to seeing more of😁😁
@18:00 The NewCaliforniaRepublic held a standing army and had divisions that even had their own power armor. They were severly weakened after than 2 great battles of the Hoover Dam versus Caesar's Legion.
Will be really awesome to see how NewVegas, the NCR, and Caesar's Legion will appear in S2
The Legion as a faction is probably not around anymore or at least I doubt Caesar is alive at this point in time, but there’s probably gonna be a few former legion members around
@@MrSmile078 depends what NewVegas ending they the writers choose to play off of. For all we know, they can choose to have kept House alive
If they show up as anything other than dead bodies. I really hope that's not the case.
@@IMGOSCHLEEP Considering New Vegas looks destroyed and deserted, it's possible they won't make any of the endings canon, but who knows, they already showed the Prydwen in episode 1, which atleast *can* be destroyed by some of the endings in FO4, so maybe they're not sticking to the "the show won't invalidate any endings promise".
The Brotherhood has more than one airship like the Prydwen. Maybe we'll get lucky and see what the Midwestern chapter from Fallout Tactics has been up too all these years. Lol
I binged your reaction videos and loved it! Thank you so much for your insights on this wonderful show, and see you in season 2!
Oh yeah! I was waiting for you guys to react to this one.
the acting here was so so great.
Bud's little car is a real car that was produced in Germany in the 1950s. The Messerschmitt KR-200.
Excellent show and reaction. After watching the show i had to find some reactors to watch for it and yall deliver. I gotta say also this show made me download and start the games, totes worth. Also i need a season 2!
WOW every episode a home run and that is how you bring it all the way around 👏 👏👏
Ella Purnell AND Walton Goggins deserve Emmy noms
Patrolling the UA-cam Almost Makes You Wish For a Second Season.
Spectacular series, fantastic reactions, and excellent editing! Thank You!!!
This show knocked the ending out of the park. All 3 final episodes were each a 10/10 for me. This show started as being a really good show to me. And after I finished it, I would upgrade it to an absolutely great show.
This series is the first time I'm watching this channel. I have to say Achara is one of the smartest reactors I've ever watched. The majority of her guesses were correct, and even when she didn't get it right the guess was either close or still a really good guess. Someone commented on episode 7 that her perception is maxed out and they were 100% right! 👏🏼
Yes, she is so smart!
Its crazy that this amazing show had a productioncost of 153mio, while the aweful Rings of Power cost 1billion...
Its just how they choose what things to focus on in production.
I think a lot of the $$ was to pay for the rights. Very annoying because they could've finished The Expanse with that money
30:45 while it has not been officially confirmed, they have already been seen filming for season two.
Plus California just granted Amazon a huge tax incentive for filming S2 in the state 😅
Over the last few days I have binged many reactions. This channel is the best I have found.
Thank you both very much for this series reaction. I love the games, I love you guys, and I've loved this series. The Fallout world is exquisitely crafted and lends itself to so many great stories. Thank you for your respect and your honesty in all of your content. Keep up the great work people! *Salutes*
I have NEVER played Fallout.
I only watched this series because it was something new.
After the first seven minutes... I was hooked. Without realizing, I binged the the entire season.
Yesterday, I started playing Fallout 4.
I agree. This would have been awesome as a weekly release... Just to have something to anticipate and look forward to.
The worst part of this series was...
Waiting for you all to upload your reaction!!! 😂😂😂
hahahaha. We got them out as quick as we could. I appreciate the love nonetheless! Glad you enjoyed it as much as we did! How are you liking F4 so far?
One thank Han miscalculated about his daughter is she never saw the world. He did. he saw the world and its beauty and she saw it as a wasteland as beautiful. She took more appreciation in the world then her father did. A lesson that we all take what we have for granted everyday.
that Achara Lo-Fi edit was strangely dope AF 🔥
The nods to New Vegas were so good. Mr. House in the meeting, and the shot at the end
at the end that is las Vegas, now known as new Vegas, one of the games. I'm so excited for season 2. if you don't want a little lore and spoiler I think (maybe not a spoiler but just incite). Don't press read more.
in the board room the CEO of rob co is a huge character and main villain or helper in fallout new Vegas, as the new Vegas leader, called Mr house (the house always wins, as he owns casinos and such) and I know he's going to be a huge part of the next series and I'm so excited.
I like how Maximus, knowing that the Brotherhood would never send power armored troops to help Lucy rescue her father, used the head as a way to do so.
He dangled himself as bait🫡 Bro is firmly team Lucy
Let's be real Max should be dead, any real leader would have Swiss cheesed Max for his transgression and Dane would have been powerless
@@ThrghmyEyeZZ A real ineffective leader perhaps. Maximus is the only lead to the prize of the wasteland, murdering him would have been foolish. The Elder also acknowledges Max embodies the qualities he believes the BOS lacks. He’s making a play at power, he’s got better odds of success with Max.
@@greywarden5513 ineffective? Max allowed his superior to die then attempted to kill his squire/ subordinate to further cover his lie then again lied and brought a fake package to your leader. What universe do you live where you believe that behavior deserves a promotion? I'll wait....
@@greywarden5513 Maximus proved he's a liar a trader and can't be trusted. I don't see any good qualities of being a sword perhaps a double edge sword
i cried too, the truth reveal and the mother!! this was really painful
incredible storyline
Bro I _flipped out_ when I saw New Vegas at the end!
Enjoyed watching this with you guys
Man having never played the game, I am pleasantly surprised by the depth of story telling. Every character including The Ghoul makes perfect sense now..crazy how they pulled that off with just the right finale.
Maximus wasn't smiling at the end, you can tell he's going to have a BOMB ass character arc in season 2. I think he'll struggle but he will probably choose a morally sound option, like maybe become the new "undercover" double-crossing leader of NCR and double crosses the BOS. Hopefully anyways, then again who knows.
Cooking. Max is weepy weepy over losing Goosey😅 He would go to track her but Moldover died leaving responsibility in his lap, he knows the brotherhood, they can’t be allowed to run amuck with cold fusion. I could see him trying to steer the brotherhood to be less awful and I can see the new Knights taking up his ideals now that he’s famous. As soon as things are stable he’s gonna chase her. Could see him acting as the balancing force in a final conflict. When we see him next I want him to have IMPROVED power armor and have them paint the Yao scars on his suit.
2:44 Sounds like they'll be a new West Coast Brotherhood of Steel. For context the Brotherhood was founded on the West Coast by former soldiers who saw the horrors of what West-Tek were doing behind closed doors, using military prisoners as test subjects for creating Super Solider that became the Super Mutants we know from the games. The goal was to keep tech from the hands of wastelanders so events like the Great War would never happen again.
But 2161 the events of the first game the BOS were active. By 2241 they had outposts within the NCR such as local cities. But sometime after this the NCR would go to war with the BOS a big problem as the Brotherhood did not hire outsiders, everyone was born into the Brotherhood. So the NCR with it's massive military campaign outnumbered the Brotherhood leading them to the BOS hiding away in bunkers. This is what we see in New Vegas set in 2281.
The Brotherhood were active on the East Coast as well settling in the Capital Wasteland, D.C. This chapter took up the mission of helping the wasteland and even hired outsiders to fill their ranks to fight against the large Super Mutant hoards. West Coast did not like this and cut ties. This is the Brotherhood we meet in Fallout 3 in 2277. Sometime after this a young Arthur Maxson became Elder and started to revert back to the old ways of the Brotherhood, getting into contact with the West Coast and even building an airship that would allow them to travel large distances. They also found a stockpile of T-60 Power Armour replacing the T-45 we see them wear in Fallout 3. By the time of Fallout 4 set in 2287 the BOS from The Capital Wasteland travelled to The Commonwealth in their airship, same design we see in the Fallout series but two differant airships.
My theory is that sometime around the 2280s 5 years after Fallout 3 the East Coast Brotherhood of Steel sent an airship West to reinforce the West Coast Brotherhood. That's why we see a T-60 Knight during Max's flashback, West Coast only wore T-51 (personal favourite power armour) and the T-45. They also fly the East Coast Brotherhood flag in this series and hire outsiders, most likely children like we see in The Mandalorian.
Also I'm pretty sure that Knight Titus had an East Coast accent, sounded Boston so I think most of the Brotherhood we see in the show are from the East Coast with a few being from the West such as Max.
But yeah it looks like they'll form a new West Coast Chapter. I hope we see T-51 power armour in the next season. it's the armour used in the first Fallout game and is shown on the box art so it's iconic. The T-60 was only introduced with Fallout 4 but hey 2015 is nearly 10 years ago now so I guess it's old now.
The Brotherhood isn't supposed to be evil though. They're not power-hungry conquerors.
@@mattragusa210
The idea in Fallout 4 is that Lyons Brotherhood ended up merging back with the Brotherhood Outcasts who still had a xenophobic attitude.
What occurred is they maintained the interventionist and expansionist views of Lyons' Brotherhood, but also adopted the xenophobic and technology centered attitude of the Outcasts.
Lyons was an expansionist, but viewed outsiders as human beings and wanted to make a positive impact. The Outcasts thought of outsiders as dumb savages, but primarily kept to themselves and focused on gathering tech, so the merger ended up bringing the worst elements of the Brotherhood to the surface.
@@mattragusa210 Well... They're not fully evil, but they're not particularly good either. Although that really depends on which chapter and what time period.
Even here I don't think they were necessarily evil.
West coast origination is not quite right, unless you mean the place where the BoS leaders formulated their plan. IF i remember right they basically founded the BoS and then immediately spread out (played FO1 long time ago, but FOT had some good lore on it). With the east coast chapter basically the only one who stay true to the original codex and expanded on it as they started to build up the people around their outpost.
The other chapters all went kinda too fanatic, or too nuts sooner or later.
Loved your reaction and discussion of this show, thank you!
Fun fact: the code Hank entered to unlock the cold fusion was 101097. 10/10/97, October 10, 1997, was the release date of the first Fallout game. 🎉
the city at the end is New Vegas, its almost the same shot that the game opens up with before it zooms in on New Vegas itself. Fallout New Vegas is 100% the best fallout game ever imo and im hyped to meet the people there im sure we will know one of them at least.
It was cool to see Mr House at the meeting! I really hope Amazon gives them a second season unlike The Peripheral Jonathan Nolan's last series for them that they cancelled even with positive reviews.
Apparently a second season has already been greenlit and already in pre-production.
This show is amazing, and I am really looking forward to season 2! And the plot is actually interesting and thought-out. Just great!
Just loved watching you two watch the show.. I watched it 3 times already and your watching it.. I guess I like it.. Lol.. You guys's reactions mirrored my own .. Thanks.
New vegas baby
Hank found New Vegas. Humanity persevered.
If you look closer in the credit scene, New Vegas looks completely destroyed and deserted
@@TehIdiotOne New vegas is still there and thriving, the question is who is now running the new vegas? and are the other factions or groups still there like crimson caravan, the big 3 family of gangsters, NCR, is the ceasar's legion still there? who knows?
@@MrArvin0306 Did you watch the scene i'm talking about? It's in the credits. The camera pans through the Strip, with it's gate blown open. Buildings all look abandoned and damaged, with corpses, deathclaw skull and NCR vertibird in the streets. I think you and i might have different definitions of thriving.
@@TehIdiotOne It looked like shit in the games
@@dmolmalowski Yes, but the buildings weren't destroyed, they had lights, and the area was populated.
Wasn’t expecting to like it but absolutely loved it, can’t wait for season two 😊
The ending is amazing. Fantastic stuff, and if you have not played the games the conclusion is such a gut punch. Fantastic TV. Also great reaction guys, fun and good to watch.
Whst an awesome episode
Awesome season!
The city at the end was Las Vegas, New Vegas now, the setting for the 6th game. The mustache at the meeting with bud and Coops wife was Mr. House, the kingpin of Vegas in New Vegas which is largely regarded by fans as the best Fallout games hands down.
I know it’s mine, and having no return to it since 2010 it is so rewarding and exciting to see we’re FINALLY going back to New Vegas.
If you’re at all interested in the games New Vegas besides the original top down two games, nails the tone of golden age Americana with dark atomic age satirical comedy. It’s also just a blast to play, definitely top 3 favorite games of all time for me. Would watch you stream it lol.
Totally with you on this being hands down the best video game adaptation live action. For me it’s the best ever, period. It so perfectly nails what the games are, Last of Us I’ll admit has a better written story but this felt like playing a fallout game. The storytelling is so complex it feels nice being vindicated in saying the world of Fallout can be this level of storytelling.
Last thing, love that Kyle played two white saviors and the fact that this came out same year as Dune Pt2.
Also 9/11 truther
Plus Matthew Perry as a gangster is always fun
Really was surprised it was so good! Cannot wait till next season.
And remember-
“The house always wins”
23:15 “and that’s someone I want to talk to”, with how we know a lot of Vault-Tec related higher ups immortalized themselves through technology, something tells me his wife is one of them. Hank was the executive ASSISTANT to Barb, so they got to have preserved the EXECUTIVES. Although Barb prolly was preserved differently from Bud who ended up as a brain on a roomba 😅
But look out for the possibility that it’s his wife Barb who stayed alive to be THE OVERSEER of ALL the vaults. She got the specific vault she wanted her family to be safe in, and that’s the vault Cooper will go find his daughter or at least perhaps descendants of his daughter there. And it’ll be the custody battle of the whole wasteland between the Ghoul Bounty Hunter and the SuperIntendent Overseer 😅
Nah it is the guy she looked up to in the meeting the real Vault tech boss.
@@cjmk5923 yeah I thought about that too. Me thinks that was the Enclave representative there, prolly the closest party to the military Vault-Tec needed to trigger the bombs. Thinking the Enclave is the one who started the bombs is partly right and wrong. With how the episode shown it, it seems ultimately it was Vault-tec’s idea to allow the corporations to use the vaults for their experiments and its Vault-tec’s bid for war openly. To how I see it, the Enclave for sure is the trigger of the bombs and utilizes their military might against whoever stands their way. But Vault-tec is the operations, the brains, who ultimately points the target. 🎯
@@docavar5698 Ooh that's a good theory! Classic Big Brother is watching energy at least with that scene so him being Enclave would make sense
@@cassu6 yeah and it made me think about some of Vault-tec’s technologies that’s representative of their ultimate bid for the bombs, such as VATS. Always calculating the weakest points of your enemy and increases YOUR chances of survival…
The vaults of fallout are amongst the most barbaric places in fiction. Out of 120 vaults 17 were normal comtrol vaults. The rest were a series of experiments psychological, emotional, social, and physical either on humans or something else.
Gary's vault the best 😂
