Really hoping that Maximus uses his position to take out the Brotherhood from within.
@@jxchamb Yeah, can see him turning into a Paladin of sorts, you know, help the weak etc.
the next season takes place in fictional Las Vegas, named New Vegas ran by Rob-Co. Who was one of the council members in the Vault tec HQ
As a lover of the games it was a very solid season, there were some minor nitpicky things that i didnt like and overall i wouldve preferred a more serious gritty action packed epic show following a badass veteran minigun wielding knight(though that would have been more expensive and we may still get that in later seasons or spinoffs) but i still liked what they did and we gamers have been wanting more Vault Tec back story because we do get a pretty good sense of what Vault Tec is since you start in a vault in each game and through exploring the wasteland come across other vaults and see what experiments went on so the story in season one isnt really surprising at all but still very satisfying and well done. The sets were great, the music was great, pleasantly surprised they used as much of the music from the games as they did, the games are usually pretty dark and the music provides a nice unique contrast while you exploring and fighting your way through the wasteland. Best video game adaptation for sure, dethrowning season 1 of The Witcher in my opinion(i know a lot of gamers didnt like that one but i didnt play the games and loved it, yall should watch it). Btw if yall play the games you might want to start with 4, that the newest main installment, Fallout 3 has a better more epic story but the graphics are a little dated, not much, the power armor for example is just like a regular suit of armor you equip from you inventory whereas in f4 they made it the big bulk exo suit you walk into like the show, the gun mechanics and customization are also very improved in F4, but if you can get past that F3s story might be worth it, Liam Neeson voices a key character, and Ron Pearlman narrates. He voices the iconic line from the game intros “war never changes”.
Two godzilla movies have come out will you do those?
Remember in the last episode Lucy said that if her father found out she destroyed an entire civilization to rescue him it would break his heart………..guess not.
Daddy's little princess.
She is her mother's daughter, not her father's.
Where the tree not far the apple
Pepperidge Farms remembers.
Yeah there's a lot of things that hit way different on second viewing.
The code that Hank entered for the cold fusion reactor at 15:31 (101097) is October 10th 1997, the release date for the very first Fallout game, which Mason Quinn correctly guessed.👍
@@CuddleCakezno. Watch episode 1 again. They were around when it came out
Yea pretty sure Quinn mentioned he played F1 or f2 briefly back in the day
Cooper's face upon hearing his wife's suggestion about dropping bombs on themselves is priceless, i want to hear that conversation at the dinner table
It was great acting by Walton Goggins. I don't know if he was reacting to someone reading the script or a recording of that corporate meeting scene but he really made it feel like he was actually listening to their conversation.
Its such a stunned look..its perfect
Even though they hadn't dropped the bombs yet, it's basically like finding out that your spouse is a serial killer. Would you reveal that you knew?
I think we'll get a flashback to the fallout (sorry couldn't resist) of him learning that and revealing that he was spying next season. Along with how things ended up with his daughter and whether those were VaultTec or PRC nukes.
@@j.f.fisher5318 I agree. This is probably what led to the divorce (alimony assumption at birthday party, episode 1). I hope we get to see how this plays out and what happened to Cooper when he fled the party with his daughter on the horse. If they did get divorced, it would make sense it was a Hollywood 'scandal' and somewhat publicized so that at least the upper class knew about it. But it was interesting that Cooper had custody of the daughter (either permanent or temporary/shared) that day specifically IF his wife KNEW the bombs would fall that day. I'm sure she would make it a priority that her and her daughter were in a vault somewhere before that happened.
I just remembered Lucy saying “when I was with my mother it felt like the sun was really real”
Because it was. I didn’t catch that until now
I love that they had the iconic line "war never changes."
Delivered so well too didn’t even sound like an Easter egg
Agreed that they include the games main tag line ... Was kinda hoping that maybe they'd have a Ron Pearlman cameo to deliver it, but was still a great moment.
@@AdrianTreskI LOVE Perlman but I think that would have been a bit silly - bringing in a totally minor character randomly just to say that line wouldn’t quite have worked for me unless he was a news caster or something.
@@Beatmyguest001would have worked way better than how it was dropped. It sounded fake with zero meaning and soul.
@@AdrianTresk Ron Perlman would have been awesome but they didn't even let him say it in Fallout 4 (except in a cut line).
To all players who played and loved Fallout: New Vegas, it made us jump out of our seats when we saw it at the end! 😂
Agreed. Also, I was reminded of the nasties over there, in particular a very unpleasent little bug that enjoys travelling with friends. If you know what I'm referring too, you probably died a few times like I did!
I look forward to Season 2. They set a high standard with the first season. I'm hopeful they will continue to honour the material.
I'm currently going through my first playthrough of New Vegas and I'm loving it! I saw the familiar skyline in the show and freaked out lmao. The Fallout franchise has such a great dark storyline of what humanity can do to ourselves.
For real! I let out the biggest gasp and damn near fell out of my seat 😂
Also, the Robert House cameo, they didn't react at all!
@@Eldenaro yess! Haha
Answers face when they said “we drop the bombs ourselves.” Was INSANE!!!!
timestop?
10:43
30:50 so Maximus wasn’t around when the original bombs dropped, he was there when Hank destroyed Shady Sands which would have been when Lucy was a child. So Lucy and Maximus were around the same age, he isn’t “older” like the ghoul, or Hank or Moldaver
Yeah, they're roughly the same age, and were in Shady Sands at the same time. There's a strong chance they've met before.
The first Fallout game was released October 10, 1997.
And i was 14 at playing it
I was 12 when the first game came out.
This is hands down the best edited Fallout on UA-cam! Trust me, I have no life and seen them all! Thank You Badd Medicine!!!
Yeah, I have watched a bunch of different reactors and I truly think whoever is doing their editing is very good.
@@jasonthegreat49103I believe that'd be ol' Diamond Dave on the far right? Could be wrong though.
All the actors were phenomenal especially Cooper, Lucy, and Maximus!! Very great ending and reaction
yuh
@@dutchvdls 😘
Lucy and Maximus probably played together as kids
And when Lucy was in vault 4, she mentions to Maximus that when she was a kid, she thought the sun was in the sky, but it was just a projection onto a wall. But she was too young to remember she actually had seen the sun in the sky with her mom when they lived in Shady Sands.
🤯 didn’t even consider this. Good point.
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 grimmer 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 SEASON 2 NOW!
keep being blind. it's good.
fallout as a universe, is dumb. but this show, somehow entertaining. especially the ghoul. we all rooting on him, right/
fallout universe is dumber than elderscroll universe. which elderscroll actually probably the first, proper medieval fantasy universe. more than lord of the rings and narnia universe.
fallout.. it's dumb. a world with some war and faulttec bunker experiments and stuff. and radiation that stays there even after 200 years. like.. so random.
edit; I mention elder scrolls because it's bethesda. the same studio.
Best thing about the show is that you don't need to have played any games to understand it.
Unlike Last Of Us this isn't based on a particular Fallout game. This was more like a live action version of an unmade Fallout game.
@@DBT1007
Its not dumb is has several hundreds of hours of lore analysis just from oxhorn and the general setting and story is unique aswell
Although all the games share the overall lore, every game is a different story in the Fallout Universe. Season1 of this show has *all* the elements of a Fallout game instalment... including the main quest line ending up very gray with unexpected twists... at the end, you usually find out that all the factions suck and you're left trying to decide which is the least suck.
funny thing is you are on the same ride as the video game fans. This show is the latest entry in the timeline so they have pretty much a clean slate to do whatever they want in the following seasons and after seeing the setting reveal for Season 2 I'm absolutely hyped and New Vegas isn't even my favorite fallout game
Also the line war never changes is said at the beginning of every fallout game
Just give Walton Goggins and Ella Purnell all the Emmys.
Vault 75 in Fallout 4 is the one who separated children from their parents and did some f'ed up things to them.
Remind me,was that the school vault? Where they had the preselection contest in the town?
@@matthewglover8804 yes it's under Malden middle school
@@matthewglover8804 yep
@@jackg5734 @josceola8979 thanks! Yes that vault was awesome/terrifying. The terminal entries were really good with such a dark interesting backstory. Gonna have to check that one out again!!
The brotherhood are the coolest 'bad' good guys, they entice you in with the armour then when it's too late you've already committed genocide to mutants.
There was a noticeable lack of mutants this season
I'd say the only Brotherhood chapter that actually gives a shit about the people and technology equally is the east coast chapter With Elder Lyons.
Most other chapters (like I'm the show) prioritized tech acquisition over all other goals, people be damned if they got in the way or tried to deny them. Kinda like what happened in Filly. I didn't see the locals around when they occupied it.
As Thaddeus said in response to Lucy's question on if they were good... It's complicated and circumstancial. Ultimately gathering, maintaining, and keeping tech out of unworthy/irresponsible hands is their charter essentially.
@@vincegamermy theory is since it's old NCR territory they cleaned out a lot of the mutants, ghouls were allowed under the NCR but super mutants and dangerous wildlife were not. Probably why the yaio guia (bear) was rather tucked away and alone.
@@aaronstillwell9492 A shame Lyons is dead af.
@@aaronstillwell9492once Elder Lyons died the east coast BOS reverted back to their old fascist not caring about the people ways which is the same BOS in FO4
This was such a great season finale answering the questions it set up while also giving us whole new questions to ask for future seasons.
Holy crap!! I just noticed int he corner of one of Cooper's film posters in Betty's office: *_VERA KEYES!_* 😯
She's a major NPC in the "Fallout New Vegas ~ Dead Money DLC"
They could still give us Moldaver & Cooper flashback scenes next season, they still have to fill in the time leading up to Cooper's divorce and the bombs falling. We also need to see more of what happened the day the bombs dropped after Copper & Janey rode away and how they became separated.
From the age of the Vault 31 overseers, it looks like they thaw out one per generation. They thawed out Betty around 40 years ago, then Hank 20 years ago, and now the blond just recently. Since they kept them for breeding, one per generation makes sense.
I appreciate the irony of how the show is criticizing mega corporations, insinuating these big companies will bring about the end of civilization, and the show is brought to us by the fifth biggest company in the world: Amazon.
The end of the world is a product, after all.
Great irony. 😂
Bezos would definitely be in that room alongside RobCo.
@@billhutchinson6318 and it will be televised - each episode sponsored by a different corporation, of course.
The Boys has this irony too might be a not so subtle dig at Amazon by Hollywood but then again Amazon seems to enjoy pumping out these shows so who knows.
Watching yall fall in love with my favorite world has been such a ride. It show just how well done this was done.
I was so pleased to see Mr house in this episode, he was the moustache guy at the vault tec meeting in New Vegas he runs the show
The fact that in the meeting of the CEO's we get to see Mr. House and then the tease of New Vegas at the end credits, chefs kiss. You guys should really play New Vegas before season 2.
The worst part is that the people who founded Shady Sands were from Vault 15. But Vault 15 wasn't admin, so... too bad? Fuck Vault-Tec.
"Time is the Apex predator"
*Randy Orton poses*
Never change fellas 🤣
As someone who never played the games, this show was phenomenal and enjoyable. Only next time my boy maximus gotta lock in with Lucy😂
The show did a phenomenal job of making you think you know who the bad guys are, but just like the games, it’s all in your point of view. You can side with any of the factions, or none of them, or even change your point of view when you get new info.
Honey wake up, Badd Medicine uploaded
As a player, the ending with Vegas on the horizon made me lose my mind. Y’all have NO IDEA how big that is ahhhhhhhhhhhhh it’s so exciting
Its destroyed. Its todd howards jealousy still after 14 years that the game he didnt made is still the nost beloved and best ranked. When I saw he destroyed shady sands aka Fallout1 and 2 I knew he was gonna either not show new vegas or have it destroyed as well. See told so. Small Man Syndrome is real
@@AbuHajarAlBugatti New Vegas isn't destroyed, it just lacks power it always looked like that, even in game. Plus Shady Sands was always going to be wiped out, it's an idea that was a part of Van Buren and the early drafts of New Vegas. Cope and seethe more.
@@Nogard-Nys maybe play the game or just watch its intro and shows ep8 outro snd then come back bullbsing back at me. Always these reddit children with no idea just out to insult and beef.
@@AbuHajarAlBugatti I played New Vegas at launch, and guess what? It's far from pristine, every building is weathered and cracked, wallpaper peeling away and exteriors worn from 200 years of being sand blasted, all the while sheltered from the masses with cobbled together scrap metal walls made of old neon signs and sheet metal poorly patched together.
It's always looked like that, cope and seethe.
@@Nogard-Nys if you played it at release and STILL be talking like a 12 year old edgy internetdweller now , thats just sad dude
Knew ya guys would do the Randy Orton pose as soon as you heard that lol, the talking brain scene, the Ghoul & Titan bullet scene was great! & episode gave lots of answers & lots of plot twists especially with Lucy & her dad & Maximus & the Ghoul, what an epic way to end the season! & Quinn's right about they've set it up beautifully for season 2, I do like how realistically authentic they made the show with the costumes, dialogue & scenery etc & really impressed with the actors did a Marvelous job of their characters & I'm really interested to see what's in store for them in next season! & I especially loved watching your full reactions episodes with you each week! It's been a blast! 😃💚
Thank you so much for the super! 🤜🤛😁
@@BaddMedicine you're welcome! I bet ya all looking forward to Season 2! ☺
They didn't just make a good video game adaption. They made a good season of TV.
Guys, let me say - it was a pleasure rewatching the series with you (as always) 🙏
I'm a fan of the franchise (played 1, 2, Tactics, 3 and New Vegas) and I tell you - watching this series, I felt like it's a gem even for those unfamiliar with the games, this was cemented by your reactions.
And for those familiar with them... Well, I'll say this - as someone who has ~800 hours in New Vegas on record, some moments in this season caused some serious goosebumps, others brought me dangerously close to tearing up. Not a complete fan of the NCR, but seeing what happened to a budding nation with all its hopes and noble aspirations was really heavy.
I consider this to be a shining example of fan service done right, as well as a supreme TV show on its own merits. Very happy that the franchise went in the direction it did, maybe we'll get an influx of new people to some of the most thought-through and (if I do say so myself) best games ever made.
I normally keep my emotions well bottled up, but seeing the ending made me actually squeal; if the showrunners keep up this approach in the second season - this is bound to become a classic.
Can't wait to watch it with you 🤗
You can just tell the people who made this cared and had fun doing it. Seeing your guy's journey was awesome. Can't wait for what's next!
I really hope we see a lot more enemies in S2. Deathclaw for sure will be in it, hopefully Super Mutants, Mirelurks, Centaurs, hell Molerats too. Bring em all!
I'd like to see some 76 enemies too. Imagine seeing the scorched beast, megasloth, blue devil, and the mothman. I know its unlikely we see any of them, but we will 100% see a deathclaw.
The reaction from titus to the yao guai is exactly how most people playing the games react to the deathclaw. 😂
I was actually really surprised not to see any super mutants, so we have to see some in s2. Probably get the lore of their creation and thats gonna be sick. Super mutants are a huge part of the games.
I love that Ella has been in 2 of the best Video Game Adaptations of all time, first being in Arcane as Jinx, and now Fallout!
Goggins was absolutely amazing in each and every scene he was in
and Moten as Maximus was very believable and has some really great scenes, especially the first episode interrogation scene I think was phenomenal
you guys probably wont see this, but the clip at the end with the giant city is New Vegas from Fallout New Vegas, popular destination and home to the Rob-Co guy from earlier in the episode.
Something to remember. The creators have gone out of their way to have evidence in multiple games of MULTIPLE possibilities of who started the war. There have been hints at vault tec being involved. The town of megaton in Fallout 3 has an unexploded bomb in it. If you look close there is a vault tec logo on it. In Fallout 4 There is a chinese submarine stuck in boston harbor/bay (not sure the right phrase) that has a Chinese sub commander ghoul who believes he ended the world because he fired his missiles thinking he did a first strike.
Also in 4 the railroad have an A.I. named P.A.M. that pre war it's purpose was to strategize and predict battle outcomes. Much like the W.H.O.P.P.E.R in Wargames. There are terminal entries that seem to point to P.A.M. determining that it needs to fire nukes first and may have been the one to do it. Other games and lore have other evidence of other possibilities.
Heck Aliens exist in The Fallout universe (so do Cthulu like ancient gods who may have also influenced the war) and there is some small evidence that THEY may have started the great war so they could come in and take over after.
Just because Coops wife PROPOSES dropping the bombs....doesn't mean they actually did it.
What is more likely is that they were very politically influential and kept seeding paranoia and fear to sell vaults.
As many have pointed out, you can't make money if the world ends, but you can sell anything if people think it will "any day now".
There are a few Vaults that were never finished that you can explore in the games. If Vault tec knew, then they would have finished all construction.
Sure the show MAY show us at some point in a flashback that VT did indeed drop the first bomb. But I prefer it to stay as vague as possible because 200 years later it doesn't really matter anymore who destroyed the world.
P.A.M is likely with BoS now. If wasn't destroyed when BoS destroyed the Railroads.
@@elvisibra Yes more than likely...but what does that have to do with what I am talking about?
@@xtremejay2000 Well, it was just side-info possibilty to your comment, other than that, all well.
@@elvisibra ah yes. Lol. Trust me I have to do a lot of self editing when posting about Fallout lore or I ramble on and on and make a post way too long.
@@xtremejay2000 Well Fallout Lore is still self editing, lots, or good chunk still wasn't really been cemented as ONLY option/version. So, no problem.
It was painful having to wait a week for each reaction to this show, that's how excited I was to see your reaction to it. Loved the show and happy to see you enjoyed it too. I'm a big fan of Fallout 4 and am very excited to see you guys try the video game, though I am curious which game you'll start with.
fun fact, all the ideas for vaults proposed in the meeting are real vaults in or at least referenced in the games.
15:27 I was so worried that they might have had a failsafe, but practically, they would rather not destroy something they could steal, and claim as their own work. It _is_ labeled ‘Vault-Tec,’ and had been in possession of the Enclave when Wilzig injected it.
15:35 Yep.
The las scene is from New Vegas
Well yeah? They even say so in the reaction
A destroyed one of which Todd Howard was always jealous of since anyone ranks New Vegas the best one
@@AbuHajarAlBugatti NV is better than 3 and 4 for sure but it doesn’t even hold a light to the originals
chills. just chills.
This was just an incredible show. I was especially upset with Shady Sands being destroyed as I helped it so much during my playthrough of the 1st game and with helping the emergence of the NCR during the 2nd game.
As far as I'm aware, Shandy Sands was just the capitol of the NCR, so there should be more towns out there belonging to it. It grew into quite a large nation in the wasteland. Loved your reactions to the 1st season.
If you pause when the BoS radio guy is talking to Maximus in Ep 2, you can see a map on the wall showing what I believe is NCR territory shaded in. It covers much of California and extends to Vegas.
It was always going to be destroyed, it would have been nuked between 2 and interplay's 3 by the Enclave. In early drafts of New Vegas, Josh Sawyer played with the idea that the capital of Shady Sands had been wiped off the map, since he had been a part of the team creating Van Buren, interplay's Fallout 3.
Wow I binged this with all my friends when it first dropped, we're all huge fallout fans mind you, and NONE of us caught that the code hank put it in was the release date of the first game 😭😭 great catch!!
Awesome guys!! Now let's play those games!!!
Also when it comes to the games, the way I see it is if you are wanting a Lucy type experience Fallout 3, if your wanting a Raider type of gameplay Fallout New Vegas, if you want a new fresh coat of paint Fallout, Fallout 4. All are great games and my personal favorite is Fallout 3, love the way they immerse you in the game plus Liam f'ing Neeson! Fallout 76 is a lot better now after launch and updates but you are looking for story and depth than the other games are better for that. Those are the only Fallout games I've played so I can't speak on the ones that came before, but who knows give those a try as well!
Personally, I thought Fallout 3 was the most immersive with a superior storyline. And Three Dog (howwwwwl!)
But Fallout 4 had superior gameplay and a better, more connected map. And actual, functional power armour.
Many people didn't like the settlement building, but that was my favourite part. It felt like I was restoring hope and rebuilding the world... like Shady Sands
@@SilentSooYun For sure gameplay wise I love Fallout 4, also you can't beat the graphics and the power armor is super cool! I agree where 3 is the most immersive as well!
Non game player and loved this show. They wrapped everything up well. I've found the ghoul to be the most interesting character, and I like how they still lead me, wanting to know more about him and his story.
"War never changes,, they delivered this line so good❤️🔥
There was so manny references to the Vaults from the games, that scene was awesome.❤
The City in the end was New Vegas from the game Fallout New Vegas and the guy in the meeting with Barbara (Rob-Co) was the leader from New Vegas😬
Also, Vault-Tec maybe not dropped the bombs, at least not Barbara. She wouldn't do that wile her daughter was outside. There are still manny questions.
The show takes place 9 years after Fallout 4 so it is a sequel to the games and they explained manny things that players didn't know before
Those Vault test suggestions you hear them talking about did happen. One was overcrowded and one did separate children from adults to train them. The worst part about Shady Sands is that it was founded by the people from Vault 8 it was a Vault community. The city at the end is Vegas from New Vegas. The New California Republic is a huge factor in that game. Can't wait for season 2. L.A. is known as the Boneyard in Fallout it doesn't seem so dead anymore.
Facts:
- The original Fallout came out October 10, 1997. 101097
- "War... War never changes" is the tagline of the Fallout franchise.
- The experiments mentioned in the board meeting are actual vaults that can be found in the games if you explore the wasteland.
- The city at the end of the episode is New Vegas, a major location from the Fallout games.
- The skull seen as Hank walks towards New Vegas belongs to a creature known as a Deathclaw. It's one of the game's most dangerous monsters.
I strongly, and I mean STRONGLY suggest you guys play at least Fallout 4. You'll be surprised to see just how familiar you'll be to practically everything in the game after watching this show.
I've been playing Fallout for years, and this show did such a damn good job! I love the original story they created and they really captured the spirit of the games ❤ So excited for season 2!
We didn't see Norm actually entering a cryo-tube. He could still turn on Bud or wakeup all of the tubes or find an exit or whatever.
The big reveal was new to the players too btw, which is quite a big deal. I believe the story was based on a potential future game too.
Personally I'm pretty happy with the mixture of answers and teases for season 2. Soooo, stoked for the Lucy & Cooper team-up though. :)
26:42 I'm gonna suggest it again... Silo. Great mystery that has you speculate each episode (think of a mixture of Lost & AoT season 1 regarding the "wtf is going on" vibes).
This is why people love Fallout. There's never a clear cut good guy. The NCR, the Brotherhood, Caeser's Legion, and other factions all have the skeletons in their closet. No one is ever decidedly good or evil. It's all in shades of gray. And as a player, that's the world you're thrown into, to make decisions. Every faction has its downside, that part you wish it would fix. And the only thing you can do is make what seems like the least bad choice.
I love Fallout, and this show is Fallout in the best ways possible.
I don't think the head cleric was sincere in his offer. He just sees Maximus as a useful idiot: a stupid, power hungry, murderous, thug that he can control, then dispose of when his usefulness has ended. I kind of wonder if Maximum himself realizes what kind of man Quintus is and that's why he allowed him to erroneously believe that Max killed Titus for his armour.
Hank choosing to bomb Shady Sands can be summarized as: Guy couldn't get over the break up of his marriage and decided to make it everyone's problem.
And the biggest irony is that Shady Sands was founded by the vault dwellers of vault 15, using a device called G.E.C.K or Garden of Eden Creation Kit, a terraforming device that allow them to have agriculture, making the wasteland more habitable. So Hank nuke the successful descendants of the vault.
This show turned out to be great. I had no interest in watching when I first heard of it. But decided to give it a chance. 20 minutes into the first episode I was hooked. They REALLY stuck the landing on this show. The first 5 episodes were really good, but the last 3 were all great. Looking forward to Season 2.
I bet Barb has her own vaults. I wonder what her solution was. Vaults 31, 32, and 33 belong to Bud, so where would Barb’s vaults be? Bakersfield maybe.
The vault ideas they were throwing around at the table end up becoming actual vaults
Thats the remains of las vegas aka new vegas. S2 will be in the mojave wastelands and i can not fuckin wait...
Great reaction!! They made this show really entertaining and fun, actually impressed by that.
I'm so glad you guys loved this show, and not having played the games! I've seen friends and family play FO3 and New Vegas, and last year I watched a playthrough of FO1 and 2, but I have only played FO4 (back when it released; replaying now that it has the next gen upgrade), and I loved this show.
pretty sure Moldaver and Rose were a couple, that's why Hank detonated the nuke
It's not spelled out but it is a reasonable assumption.
what makes it worse is that Shady Sands was founded from Vault Dwellers who used their Vaults G.E.C.K. device to create an area that could be hospitable to begin to growing civilization again and it worked.
Such a joy to see your reactions to the show. Can't wait for S2!
They did this show so well.. a great nostalgia/easter eggs for game players and a great introduction and story for anyone who didnt play the games. A fantastic balance
14:18 "They were friends" 🤣
Perfect story that shows how being evil, bad and doing the wrong thing REWARDS you !!!!
That city at the end was from the game fallout new Vegas
What’s crazy is this first season is basically the completion of one quest in the game
Betty knows Norm's been figuring things out the entire time. If anything, she'll be the one that saves him because he would make a solid overseer himself. Now that he has the answers, he can just fall in line. There's only two choices: what they've built underground or death/chaos on the surface. Most people would stick with underground.
I really liked this show. I’ve never played the games and I was hooked from the beginning. The soundtrack was great, the characters, the story, everything beyond the expectations for me. They did an amazing job engaging people who didn’t know the game.
This series is a masterclass on how to translate a gaming world into a show which is both entertaining to people who never played the game *and* remains faithful enough to the source material to please even its biggest fans.
My theory on where the Norm storyline will go....way back in episode 1, when Hank was making his speech at Lucy's "wedding" reception, he said that their projections showed that the next generation of children (Lucy's) would be able to return to the surface. I don't think that was just a throw-away line. I think that Hank (and Bud's brain on a roomba) felt that the newest generation of MacLeans represented the first "super managers" to emerge from their plan. Hank believes that super manager is Lucy, but I'm thinking that from a Vault-Tec point of view it's actually Norm. And that we're going to end up with a raging case of sibling rivalry before the series ends.
Looking forward to seeing how wrong I am. 😂
The show's story is not only based on the games. It's a continuation of the overall timeline. So bascially Fallout 5 taking place only a few years after the events of Fallout 4.
Was waiting for this. I hope in Season 2 we will meet Courier six.
That Hank reveal was insane.
Walton Goggins killed it as both the Ghoul and Coop, two very different characters while being the same person. Also, I can't wait for New Vegas and Mr. House, the leader of Rob-Co as seen at the meeting this episode.
patrolling the mojave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter
The ‘new town’ at the end is New Vegas. You saw ‘Mr House’ in the meeting. The main plot of Fallout New Vegas is getting there and finding him. It can go a few different ways so it will be interesting to see what ending the show canonises, if any.
That isn't just any town, that's VEGAS BABY
I think Norm might simply catch Bud and force him to open the door.
Michael Emerson at the beginning of the season:"Will you still want the same things, when you've become a different animal altogether?"
Sums up the entire season in a great singular line of foreshadowing. Loved this adaptation.
Anybody who's saw Agents of Shield, knows Lucy's dad is a true menace to society
Hank would be looking rough at the end. He just walked all the way from LA to vegas
Pudge I love the Katara look you have going on. The blue and the braids remind me so much of her💙 This finale reaction was so good. I can’t wait for next season :)
I'm so curious how they'll cover how Muldaver lived 200 years but wasn't a ghoul. How Cooper became a ghoul. How Cooper got separated from his daughter. Where his wife is. So many things to still be answered.
I love how Bud drives up in that little car with the glass top and then ends up as the 'Brain on a roomba'.
And Wilzigs warning; 'The question is will you still want the same things when you have become a different animal all together?'
@2:04 "I don't know what he thought was gonna happen, but..." I suspect Maximus fully expected to die when he returned to the Brotherhood without the real head. He knew what the cost of failure was, and he had to know that they would quickly figure out it wasn't the right head. But I think when they actually put a gun to his head and the reality of his impending execution hit him, his survival instinct reasserted itself and he started bargaining. One of Maximus' biggest character traits through the whole series seems to be that he is an idealist who consistently falls just short of living up to his own ideals, so I think this explanation makes sense.
As for the Elder's complete 180, given the way Maximus always flashes back to his rescuer in the Elder's presence, I suspect that particular Elder was the one who rescued young Maximus from Shady Sands in the first place. If so, then he seems to have been playing the long game with him all along, trying to groom him into the perfect minion. And now, with Maximus humiliated and shamed in front of the rest of the Brotherhood, he would be completely reliant on the Elder's goodwill to keep his position and his head. Well, at least until the end, where Maximus seemingly redeems himself and earns the respect and acclaim of the rest for "killing" Moldaver.
I hope Norm outsmarts Bud, which shouldn’t be too hard, and releases cryo frozen Vault-Tech executives. Bud would have to open the doors to save his buds. It’s awesome that Lucy and The Ghoul are teaming up, because their chemistry is fantastic. So hyped for season two.
You have to commend Lucy for keeping calm because I probably would have lost my mind.
New Vegas appearing right at the end was pretty cool. Looking forward to Season 2!
Going into games, you are going to have the reverse experience that players had of the series. It’s the same chills, just at opposite points.
As Fallout fan since the first game I'd say that they definitely nailed the tone of Fallout. How it can be brutal, thought-provoking and outright silly.
As the series is supposedly canon it does have some major lore impacts on the series, from Shady Sands being destroyed, the new drug that Coop uses to stop going feral to the real bombshell (pun intended) of how the apocalyse started - it was always left as "no one knew who dropped the first bomb". Even the true purposes of the vaults was always vague in the games.
Overall I enjoyed it and hope that series 2 can maintain the same standard.
Would Hank have still nuked Shady Sands if he had known it was started by ex-vault dwellers? They should have kept the Robo-brains from the game They were more threatening and cool-looking. The final shot is New Vegas. This show should win all the awards.
So much to say I love your guys videos been watching for so long so being the biggest fallout nerd it’s been such a kick to watch you guys watch such great content…can’t wait for you guys to play the games your gonna learn SO much and make so many connections to the show you didn’t get before….also I never realize the ghoul from the Observatory was the one Lucy rescued and I’ve never seen anyone else point it out so 10/10
Playing Fallout 4 was my introduction into the Fallout franchise and I loved how dark and gritty the storyline was. I sided with the Brotherhood of Steel in my first playthrough due to my military background, but I felt horrible when I found out how they eliminate all ghouls and mutants with prejudice. I'm currently playing FO4 for a second time (One Punch Man theme to punch all my enemies for comedic relief) and my first playthrough with New Vegas, such a blast (pun intended)!
Patrolling the Mojave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter.
Yes, 10-10-97 is when Fallout 1 came out for personal computers (Windows XP) I'm not sure if it was ever released on Machintosh
So glad I finally finished this before you guys dropped this reaction! Solid ending to a great first season that sets up season 2 to be a banger!
25:44 That's New Vegas, baby!
New Vegas is the setting of arguably the best Fallout game in the series, Fallout: New Vegas.
The bomb that took out Shady Sands dropped shortly after the events of the game FO:NV, the events of show takes place after all of the games.
