I love the reaction from Thaddeus after learning he's probably a ghoul -- not a scream, not total aghast fear, but rather a whining, "Ohhh nooo... aww..." Somehow it felt more realistic, lol.
"Captures the essence" is exactly what I feel about the show. I think others are saying the same. It just feels like another entry into the world of Fallout and it IS! It doesn't have that feeling of separation that I get from most videogame adaptations. I think this is most comparable to Cyberpunk Edgerunners in the world of videogame adaptations, in that they are both canon to the games whilst telling their own stories and adding to the lore. It's incredible how they've managed to capture the look so well in the live action Fallout. That Red Rocket!
Exactly! It felt like I was watching Fallout 5 at almost every second of this series. And we got more pre-war lore than ever before. A really smart move of Bethesda, they can now take the game series to a new direction.
Considering the state of Bethesda and the franchise, they are currently doing fallout better than the video games. If I had to make one criticism in that regard, is that they went too far in making the Brotherhood a joke and not menacing.
@@fredwin Well, they did have Bethesda on board for a majority of the story writing so I'd say Bethesda is doing everything right this time. Sure, 76 was a mistake, but I doubt they'll do the same mistake twice lol. Also, the Brotherhood IS a joke, no need to make them more menacing than they really are :p
@@LeeHarrison89 that's season 2. Which falls in line with TV Jonah. Was going to say specific characters from person of interest, but in retrospect. They were all scary people turned good ish.
@@LeeHarrison89 Or take the Terry Pratchett view: hero _or_ villian, if you're lucky you live long enough to learn how the world really works and then.....well.....you make the best of it.
The wasteland doctor was telling the truth back in episode 2. He saw the scientist with Lucy and tried to sell a cure for missing feet. The story would probably be very different if they turned the scientist into a ghoul.
I always got the impression the doctor killed himself because he believed his dog died. Even if there was a way for him to do okay/repair his foot I don't think he would have taken it.
@@Marzipanilla the doctor did not kill himself because of that. It was very clear that in the moment of death he just knew he couldn't make it to Moldaver
20:18, No, Stephanie came from vault 31 just like everyone else who was ever made overseer in vaults 32 and 33. My guess is that it was Betty, Stephane or both of them who poisoned the prisoner's food just to get Betty's relocation plan in effect. However, it could be a very longshot that Stephanie coerced Chet into doing it.
My theory is that Betty wasn’t interested in the raiders informing anyone else of the goings on topside; yes she did it because of Norm, but to keep him in the dark not just to flex on him
"A feral ghoul can't abide a chicken" is just in-universe goofy non-sense. Like a superstition. It's not part of Fallout lore or anything. It's just something that guy heard some where or was passed down by his family.
Practically speaking, they would have needed to place the chicken alone as bait rather than standing around it, to “properly” check. If Coop _had_ been feral, he would have immediately gone for whoever was closest, with no distinction (minding how the actual feral ghouls and Martha acted).
99% sure that the drug the doctor gave to Thadues was FEV, the effects seem to match perfectly from some versions of the drug(fallout 2 terminals). Ghouls, as shown to us last episode, don’t have any healing abilities like that, there damage remains. There’s only 2 documented cases in fallout of a drug being strong enough to turn someone into a ghoul, but there’s DOZENS of different forms of FEV, many of which have different effects during testing but all end the same… SUPER MUTANTS.
Well, in FO4, we learn from Hancock that there is a "radiation drug" he took one day that turned him into a Ghoul. It's probably the same thing that the chicken f***er used here
People who get high dose of radiation, either by exposure or by a radioactive drug do not turn allways into ghouls, one needs to have the ghoul gene for it to happen.
Its interesting to see the characters interact with Dogmeat. They really put thought into it. Thaddeus thinks Dogmeat is annoying because it wont leave him alone. Lucy knows its a dog but doesnt really seem to care about it. The target that escaped with the dog cared for it. He treated it as a modern human might treat a dog. And lastly Cooper knows what it is but actively tries to not care a out it because it makes him miss his dog Roosevelt. Though he does use it to track the his target. I thought that was super cool.
I did NOT have Erik Estrada appearing on this show. They have pulled off some really surprising guest stars. I hope that approaching to casting continues going forward. Fallout, as a game, is just loaded with interesting characters who appear briefly, so it really does fit.
It might be a little easier for a series like Fallout, but I feel like this is how video game adaptations should always be. A new story with new characters, but set in the same world as the game. The games already do a great job at telling their own story, no need to repeat it with an adaptation.
Honestly. A lot of times video game stories don't translate either because the main character is usually made to be a blank canvas. Things happen to them - they don't have a personality or a history by design except in specific circumstances. They were made to be played, not watched
when cooper was advertising the vault, i thought everyone on set was an actor. but apparently, they used the actual scientists who went on to create the gulpers.
The family in the beginning in those masks and suits represent the NCR... the group that formerly protected Shady Sands. Thats NCR Ranger Armor or an even fuether throw back and its the Desert Rangers prior to even the NCR.
My running theory for what happened in vault 32 - it seems like the management in particular killed themselves. So I think the people in the vault found the "truth", rebelled, and were killed by management and the higher positions in the vault. The people remaining after the violence killed themselves, unable to live with the guilt. Guess we may or may not find out!
31:21 if any of these ( { [ < close on the same line then it will either erase a wrong choice or reset you hacking chances. a good rule of thumb is to try the first 3 then look for the open brackets to help.
So much about this episode is ALL about books and covers and not judging by them.... Busting the meta on all the dialog choices there, aren't we? And no, I would presume Chickenfu€ker is NOT covered by your HMO...
@@bigma5e He means there's a place in it, not the place itself. I assume where a certain recurrent character from the games 'put down roots'. So to speak. 😏
I have two theories as to whodunit. Theory One: It was actually Norm. Everyone's been so focused on Lucy/Max/Ghoul's S.P.E.C.I.A.L stats that we've all overlooked what Norm's stats are. He's done every job, worked every post, everything. He's a high perception or agility character, possibly a stealth build or even max stats. We've overlooked his stats thus far, further reinforcing the possibility he's a stealth build. I found Norm's offering of the cake to that woman a little odd. He doesn't strike me as that type of person. I think he put the rat poison in the cake and passed it off to that woman to avoid suspicion. Even if Norm came under suspicion, he could just point to who gave it to him. Someone like Betty or Stephanie. Which leads me to... Theory Two: Betty did it and Norm was actually meant to be the scapegoat. Perhaps he felt something was off by being told to give them the cake. He had already voiced his opinion to kill them at the town hall meeting so he would be easy to frame after saying something like that. The way Betty looked at Norm after the woman was arrested came across as an "I underestimated you" kinda look to me.
@4:37 - Moldaver's %100 right. communist is a 'dirty word' used to discredit smart people who understand the importance of community. true communism at its core believes that earth is finite in its resources and the only way to ensure humanity's future is through communal collectivism and equal distribution of resources [think star trek]. everyone has some, so no one has none. despite academics and pundits debating it's failure throughout the 20th and 21st centuries, it's important to know actual communism has never been achieved. leninism, stalinism, maoism, castroism all inevitably led to some kind of oligarchic authoritarianism...communism is about equity and capitalism is about individuality, not saying one is better than the other because BOTH have their value... but it's like maximus said, everyone wants to save the world, they just disagree on how...
@@morpho5539fine, but the production behind the show and ALL of the games don’t exactly support a libertarian model either, showing how all the people worshipping ableism and profiteering either created the nuclear exchange of 2077, paid to live as vault dwellers overseen by authoritarianism, or failed to afford vault-tec and suffered from it
I see it as two things can be true at the same time, it is a dirty word used to discredit people and it's also one of the worst idea's in modern history which is why people like to use it as a word to discredit people.
@@InMaTeofDeath I agree, two things can be true. But this line of thinking implies that capitalist should also be a 'dirty word' because what kind of people profit off war and the end of the world? Not good ones...
This is an adaptation of a game, so we see three types of players: Lucy is a new player with no experience. Maximus is an average player. He already knows something, but he still lacks practice. Ghoul is a top player. Extensive knowledge and years of experience. :)
The point was to honor the original scene from “The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly”; the same way Nolan cited “Heat” for the “The Dark Knight” opening Spoiler: it’s ok for professional storytellers to be fans
@@hellfish2309 Well I’m glad it’s okay for professional storytellers to be fans. If they aren’t fans of cinema then they shouldn’t be in that profession. It was done better in that movie.
@@morpho5539you’re here stating that the wind blows and the rivers run. Of course the original is better, it’s the original. I challenge anyone to find an instance of homage being paid to a scene of story with the homage being BETTER than the original. It’s a pointless statement. Thanks for stating it. Twice.

@@Luden because it has been uploaded 4 weeks ago for the patreon sponsors.
Jonathan Nolan the mad lad did it to us again. Cooper was a Hero who lived long enough to become the Villan.
I'd argue that Cooper was a villain who lived long enough to become a hero. A hero with edge. An anti-hero.

"A feral ghoul can't abide a chicken" is just in-universe goofy non-sense. Like a superstition. It's not part of Fallout lore or anything. It's just something that guy heard some where or was passed down by his family.
I figured it was that chickens are very loud so if a ghoul is feral it would go straight to it.
Practically speaking, they would have needed to place the chicken alone as bait rather than standing around it, to “properly” check.
If Coop _had_ been feral, he would have immediately gone for whoever was closest, with no distinction (minding how the actual feral ghouls and Martha acted).
My favorite part about this episode is honestly them giving back the fusion core to the vault. Good Karma 😃👍🏼
"Thank youuuuu"
Maximus's fight in Vault 4 reminds me of Lancelot storming the wedding in Mont Python's Holy Grail.

That would be wild if he pops back up next season as a Super Mutant.
Well, in FO4, we learn from Hancock that there is a "radiation drug" he took one day that turned him into a Ghoul. It's probably the same thing that the chicken f***er used here
Then you got that mob boss who also turned himself into a Ghoul in 4 and hid out in a bunker under a train station.
People who get high dose of radiation, either by exposure or by a radioactive drug do not turn allways into ghouls, one needs to have the ghoul gene for it to happen.
Thadeus is going to mutate, I guarantee it. Super Mutants in season two is confirmed. So cool.
Its interesting to see the characters interact with Dogmeat. They really put thought into it.
Thaddeus thinks Dogmeat is annoying because it wont leave him alone.
Lucy knows its a dog but doesnt really seem to care about it.
The target that escaped with the dog cared for it. He treated it as a modern human might treat a dog.
And lastly Cooper knows what it is but actively tries to not care a out it because it makes him miss his dog Roosevelt. Though he does use it to track the his target.

He looks still great! At least 10 years younger than he is.
I've been a CHIPs fan since the 70s.
Edit: 70s not 70's
When Thaddeus is listening to the radio it plays a song you hear in Fallout 4 when listening to Minuteman Radio.
Calvin straight swagged out lol

There are a few utopic locations in the US in the Fallout universe. One such location in the Capital Wasteland.
