What's interesting is how knowledge from the last episode really makes a lot of lines from earlier in the season hit different. Like when Lucy guilts Maximus into giving the fusion core back, "What would my dad think if he learned I destroyed a community to save him?"
Or when the doc asked Lucy if she would want the same things after she's changed into something else entirely...that one hits even harder I'm sure, because both Lucy AND Max I'm sure don't want what they initially wanted anymore 😅
@@lalalalisa41 Exactly, I posted a quote of that convo separately. Things like the Ep 1 poster "Don't Lose Your Head" then next ep Lucy cuts the head off and they're all chasing it; when she meets the shop owner, she's mocked for being clean and having all 10 fingers, then she bites one off the Ghoul and loses one herself, on her way to 'adapting' to the world.
@@lalalalisa41 Fully agree! I expected at most a fun show with a lot of nods to the games, didn't dare hope for this level of writing, production value, etc. and it even added to the lore of the games and solidified things that some suspected but weren't sure of. Too bad we need to wait so long for S2/New Vegas!
Lucy was literally given the coordinates in the second episode by the shopkeeper lady. The Ghoul was told by the lead farmers' son Maximus was told by Lucy
I'm glad you don't write for TV, your show would've ended instantly and been terrifyingly boring. "I smart... here's the solution to everything... don't bother writing btw" I bet you were also like "it's obvious which titan is which and here's why the titans are a thing, and also there's a whole other civilization out there" Tedium.
I think it says a lot that Hank dropped a nuke on the capital of a recivilized surface nation in the name of Vault Tec's monopoly on society, while Lucy had the opportunity to destroy the survivors of that very same destruction, and declined to do so because that's not how her father raised her.
Barb wasn’t just drinking the Kool-Aid, she was helping mix it and adding extra sugar! The only problem I had with this series is that it ended at 8 episodes ❤️
"I'm not a car person, but this 54 Kaiser Darrin 161 that Walton Goggins drives in "Fallout" is sublime. Only 430 were built and only one year. They are spectacular." 😉
There is a lot of Star Wars symbolism here. Ghoul kind of resembled Darth Maul, Max is Finn and Lucy is Ray (both women lost their parents and went searching for them). The leader of the Brotherhood has strong Palpatine vibes too.
It was two separate bomb drops. The Initial ones caused by "vault tech" in 2077 by insinuating it was them during the board meeting, dont want to give spoilers. Then there was the one at shady sands, done by Vault-tech aka Hank when he found out a flourishing civilization emerged from the wasteland. Their whole main purpose is to be the only ones alive on the planet, if any info was given to vault 31-33, they would have acted on it with nuclear bombs
Possible spoilers based on game Lore I'm fairly sure Shady Sands came about because of a Vault, so the flourishing society was because of Vault tech but just not under their direct control. Vault Tech complained about factions but the Vaults themselves with the different experiments, opening dates and plans were essentially always going to create different factions anyway. Especially since they were not in direct contact with each other. Maybe it's because the main control vault 0 is down, can't remember why though, can be the only reason they don't know what's going on with other vaults and their progress.
@@swanchamp5136 yes which is why I think there is a hidden vault underneath the observatory or somewhere near, along with a cryo chamber and a G.E.C.K. which allowed Moldaver to sleep for 200 years.
I think the BoS leader guy is a master manipulator, and his attraction to Maximus is he knows he owns him, if he forgives him. He knows he will be the kind of guy in the future, who he can order to do the evil thing others would refuse.
My headcanon is that BoS leader guy might be the guy (in the power armor) that found little Maximus after Shady Sands got nuked. Can't wait for season 2, brother!
Given those must all be ghoul fingers does having a ghoul part of your body infect the rest of your body? Then there is always the possibility that Monty impregnated Lucy and we might see her dealing with that in Season 2? What I was wondering is could the Ghoul have grabbed Lucy's finger by mistake and sewed that on himself? Probably not but it would be funny if a human pure finger might trigger a redemption arc in his character. A long stretch I admit but maybe he might be turned human again?
LOL! The yellow car is a 1954 Kaiser Darrin. over 400 were made. Buds car is a Messerschmitt KR200 of which over 40k were made The cars in the tv show whether functional or rusted husks were all real cars. One car in the birthday party was literraly a one of a kind Pontiac concept car.
@@toomanyaccounts I get you are a car nerd, but that specific model is a model in the game called corvega, basically a play on Corvette. Very interesting they made those kind of cars back then, would've been so cool if they kept that up. Feels like something out of the jetsons.
@@StevenLeeStudios LOL! The game Corvegas are based on real world production and concept cars from the 50s. Look up the Chevrolet Mako Shark, Buick XP-300, 1954 DeSoto Adventurer II and then weep at how cars have lost style.
@@toomanyaccounts but they’re not wearing each others finger. Like the original post said. He may have hers…but she doesn’t have his…like the original post said.
Moldaver was the lover of Lucy’s mom on the service. It’s not outright said but implied with the comments that she was curious and the cut to Lucy remember the memory on the service and her running to not only her mom but Moldaver in the picture. That’s how she knows so much about her mother and their vaults in general
Do you understand the concept of friends? I just picked up my friend Robert’s kids from school. Does that make sense me his lover? I guess the way people are brainwashed nowadays and certain agenda is forced up our throats, you think that everyone is a homosexual. I am using scientific (proper) word since „gay” means „happy” in English language.
Also, Lucy never 'imagined' feeling the heat from the sun as she described in an earlier episode, she actually did feel it when her mother brought her to the surface.
I think the 3 main characters were like 3 different play styles. Lucy the good guy, ghoul the bad guy, maximum following the rules. The show would be a perfect fan service show, but that ending episodes, and the the whole full wrap up of stories in this season, took this as a show to the next level. Awesome stuff and love your reactions! ❤️
Ep 2 Lucy - "I'm not going back without my dad." Dr. Wilzig: "If you insist on staying then you will have to adapt. Question is...will you still want the same things, when you have become a different animal altogether?" I love the writing in this show.
You may not have noticed (or maybe you did), but the Vault-Tec conference room in this episode is a take off of the War Room of 1963 nuclear war parody Dr Strangelove, one of the greatest dark comedies of the 20th century. If you have never seen it, watch it to understand more of the background to Fallout.
Did you guys see spoilers before the reaction? All the twists seem to be already figured out, oddly. Every other reaction I've seen have all been surprised by episode 8.
I remember episode 1 when Hank kills Monty. We all thought he was just a father protecting his daughter. Yeah, maybe true. But after commiting genocide twice. Killing one irradiated dude wouldn't really shake ya. 😂😂
You guys are so right about Maximus being the character Finn should have been in the Star Wars new trilogy. Maximus is not polished as he is inexperienced, but he is still brave and capable character who actually gets the girl’s heart. Finn In stars wars was Kevin Hart the space janitor and it was insulting as a black person how weak and incapable they made Finn the first lead black character in Star Wars. Lucas Film were cowards because they felt they had to make Finn a buffoon who lost every fight for white audiences to accept him and all they did was put black audiences off Star Wars and now they can’t even make big budget movies because the audience is not broad enough to support it , because people are bored of Star Wars movies where only white characters are the super force users.
@@Tijuanabill Firstly Lando was not a lead character and was nothing more than a token black character after someone pointed out that the first Star Wars film had no black people. I feel the character is more loved by white people than Black people and they still did the character did character dirty in the solo movie too.
@@mysredeyes Mace Windu was not a lead character in a single Star Wars film and still yet to see a non-white lead super-powered Jedi who isn’t white in 50 years of Star Wars films and shows.
I felt like the de-aging stuff felt like it was straight out of the video game. The de-aged scenes definitely looked slightly off, but it felt like a major "in-game" cut-scene/revelation that felt like a you were playing a video game. It was also intercut with Cooper's wife dropping the "bomb" that it was her idea to drop the bombs. Both of those scenes felt slightly off, but in a purposeful way that felt like a character dialogue option cut-scene as if you were playing the actual game. I actually want to believe they did that on purpose to make it feel like an in-game choice/revelation that the viewer was slightly in control of. It definitely looked a bit wonky, but I want to believe it was an intentional nod to the experience of playing the game and going through a dialogue tree. the part especially with Hank/Henry quoting the Ghoul's famous movie line that he regretted, because it wasn't in his character, was great and the de-aging/odd straight-on camera angle felt like an in-game dialogue-tree cut-scene where the player gets a major story revelation. The weirdness of the camera angle and the de-aging felt slightly stilted, like a video game which gave that moment a strange prominence, detached from the rest of the show, which heightened its impact, in my opinion. I thought the show did a great job of being entertaining and interesting in its own right, while integrating the tone of the games and elements of a first-person gaming experience. You guys had one of the best reactions I've seen to this show. Great job calling the mom/ghoul tie in at the end!
I know I'am late to the party, but FEV mixed with radiation mutated people and creatures into mutants, hence why some die and some mutate in the wasteland. Recently found you channel after Hot Fuzz, love your reaction to jokes that fly over the majority of reactors, earned a sub from me. Much love, slava Dolg.
Guess I'm in the minority here but I didnt care for Max at all. He should have been swiss cheesed for his trangression but like yall said perhaps the leader had a soft spot for bcse he recognized himself in him or saved him as a child. Max is way too easy to manipulate so I think he sees Max weakness as his strength. Funny thing Max is always lucking up into the right opportunities that always workout how convenient, lol. Also why does Dean have so much loyalty towards Max gonna need some backstory here other than convenient writing.
We don't know WHAT happened to Janey after the bombs dropped. The most recent information we have is that she was on a horse with her father fleeing a birthday party, and that she was not in her father's company the next time we saw him 219 years later. All the other flashbacks to the pre-war era were set BEFORE the birthday party. It's entirely possible Janey didn't end up in a vault.
The scene with the Ghoul and the Boys in the dark room reminded me so much of a similar scene from the movie Equilibrium with Christian Bale - I’m guessing there was an even earlier film that both paid homage to , but not sure where
Moldaver was rich back in the day. Vault-tec probably offered her a spot in their vault, or she developed her own cyro pods. Also, these flashbacks hint that Lucy's mom might have developed a relationship with Moldaver, which would probably account more fro his insane rage than any Vault-tec training would. Being jilted for somebody else is a notorious reason for people to kill their ex's.
Vault Tech said they should be the ones to drop the bombs first but i think something went wrong as why would barb let coop take their daughter to a party when she wanted her family to be in a vault? Either someone in the company set it off prematurely or another faction pre empted them.
Glad you know all that I know and no more playin my cards close to my chest, worried about spoilers! Loved this series, can't wait for the next season, and my wife was just telling me something about Fallout London which sounds intriguing too. I'm right in line with you all as far as which of the 3 arcs was best: Ghoul Rules, and Max was Min. But it doesn't have to stay that way I see potential in Max, if he starts being smarter from the jump!
So, I haven’t read through all the comments but basically. Rose Meclain went to shady sands. Took her daughter. And hank came up and roasted them. But there is an odd connection to 32 surrounding this whole idea in whats called a shadow plot. Used often. But it’s how the director and writer do it. Fallout did it great. I believe rose mclain believed in her theory, left. Found moldaver in 33. Became friends and they both left. I would suppose it was assumed that rose was taken against her will. So hank made a search part. When he realized she was right made an attack squad. And took out shady sands. I’d venture to guess shady sands had trade routes. So thusly Moldavor. Was leading one of these and came back to a cater. She took time energy and resources to build a strong enough crew actually raid a vault. I’d assume the pip boy from is a gift or. When she got ghoulified. She took it from her to gain revenge on the vault dwellers. All speculation. But can’t wait to see if I’m right.
Moldaver was not in 33. Moldaver was not in any of the vaults. Cryopod tech isn't exclusive to vault tec. Also the only people from the past going into the vault 32 and 33 were from 31 who were Bud's Buds. She was not one of them
From when I first made this comment. Till now and rewatched. I agree. I think she was from a vault known as vault 14. I think… but they were a successful vault that was meant to be explored after its fall. But they did it well and overseer of vault 32 f’d them all up. I could be wrong about that though still.
4:16 wow I just caught this after watching your reaction, he totally said “the likes of you” not just “you” as its sword. Hopefully Maximus’ time with Lucy has upped his Perception and Intel to see through those words. That man will use anyone to further his plans. He is not the leader of the BoS merely a Cardinal? who’s hungry for power.
Maldova and lucy's mother were lovers. She kept her alive all this time because she could not part with her or wanted her to see her vision realised. You see the scenes that show this, its subtle, but its there. EDIT: you noticed too. Steph, i've got money on being Vault Girl. It's the hair. Cooper was Vault boy, Steph was vault girl. What i love most about the series is the writing. In the last episode we see everyone we thought was a good guy become bad and everyone we thought was a bad guy, end up being good. Brilliant. Great reaction too fella's, Just subbed. Much love from the UK
This show gets away with telling its audience, the American public, a helluva lot about how their post-WWII empire actually works in real life. Amazing what stories you can tell when you dress things up as “It’s all just make believe”, isn’t it?
The one thing I hate about this show is it’s trying to poetry that the companies are the ones who instigated the bombs dropping. For all of fallout’s existence this has never been the case, and it simply makes no goddamn sense. You cannot convince me that any company thinks it can make money in a post apocalypse. Since this show is considered canon, I really hope they fix this in season 2. Else, I’m just going to pretend this one tidbit doesn’t exist.
I’d wait for season 2 before you make an assumption. Vault Tec is just a company and Barb, who receives a message before she makes the suggestion about dropping the bombs, is likely being guided by someone higher up. It makes more sense that Vault Tec is working for someone else. There’s a second season coming but people are jumping the gun way too fast. They purposely left storylines open.
@@mysredeyeswhile the enclave had vaults they also seemed to be in some conflict with Vault Tech as they are the remnants of the US government who were about to sign peace with China as I recall. It's probably the head of Vault Tech.
It is very interesting that that Knight of the Brotherhood staggers into the Observatory headquarters and drops dead, Maximus frees Hank and then Hank goes and removes the dead guy from the armor by himself and then lifts the armor up so that he can climb into it (remember the trouble that younger and stronger Maximus had when he had to get Titus out of the other suit earlier) and all this is going on only feet away from Lucy and Maximus and they don't seem to notice. Might have been better had they written it so that Hank convinced Maximus to help him get the armor so that he could "save" Lucy, Hank would need the protection of the armor cause he is the older dude and could fly Lucy to freedom I suppose.
@@toomanyaccounts I know the head was gone but the body would still be in the suit. Everyone says it would be very easy to get it out but I still have my doubts that he could do that so close to both of them and they wouldn't even notice but that's the magic of selective reveals.
@@FlamingoKickerits meant to be opened very quickly if you know how and get in and out. so pulling a body out should be easy if it hasn't gone into rigor.
@@toomanyaccountsI wasn't thinking of rigor mortis but Kyle is an old man now although they dye his hair and I had to lift my elderly dad out of bed once and he wasn't huge but damn he was heavy. Not as easy as it might seem. I know, it's fantasy tv so I'm probably overthinking it .
@@FlamingoKicker he seemed pretty fit for his age and he worked the legs to power the TV. Plus desperation would be a factor. No telling how heavy the guy prior in there weighed. I don't think we even get a look at the prior occupant. We know the brotherhood uses they so maybe it was a they.
The Communist Moldaver drives a wedge between two relationships. She infiltrate's Cooper in the old world and she does the same thing with Lucy's Mom in the new world. She will be in the second season for sure.
I think Barb (his ex wife) sent a retrieval team to get Janey. It makes sense she'd know when they were triggering the war. I think the nukes were pre-planted by Vault tech. At least some of them.
i mean yes vault tech was talking about dropping the bombs but theres lore out there that leans towards China being first.... but its still crazy to hear them say it out loud
Yeah, and I'm starting to wonder if it was the Brotherhood that nuked Shady Sands. Moldaver says Lucy's father burned it to the ground, not bombed or nuked...
the planned Fallout movie had the vaultec president launch the missile salvo that started the Great War. Its always been hinted in the games that Vault tec either started or was planning to.
It's absolutely amazing to see how bad y'all are at connecting the dots, especially the dude in the middle. Every single prediction and conclusion, bar the mom, is light-years off the mark. Just shots in the dark, with little understanding behind them, hitting absolutely nothing, Never seen anything like it.
So the show creators stated in a IGN interview.. "We don't have any documentation on why Maldaver is over 200 year but it's interesting to explore in season 2". Other words we'll think of something by season 2 because we have nothing now.
What's interesting is how knowledge from the last episode really makes a lot of lines from earlier in the season hit different. Like when Lucy guilts Maximus into giving the fusion core back, "What would my dad think if he learned I destroyed a community to save him?"
The writing is great, there's a lot of lines and foreshadowing like that throughout the season.

Both of those scenes felt slightly off, but in a purposeful way that felt like a character dialogue option cut-scene as if you were playing the actual game. I actually want to believe they did that on purpose to make it feel like an in-game choice/revelation that the viewer was slightly in control of. It definitely looked a bit wonky, but I want to believe it was an intentional nod to the experience of playing the game and going through a dialogue tree.
the part especially with Hank/Henry quoting the Ghoul's famous movie line that he regretted, because it wasn't in his character, was great and the de-aging/odd straight-on camera angle felt like an in-game dialogue-tree cut-scene where the player gets a major story revelation. The weirdness of the camera angle and the de-aging felt slightly stilted, like a video game which gave that moment a strange prominence, detached from the rest of the show, which heightened its impact, in my opinion. I thought the show did a great job of being entertaining and interesting in its own right, while integrating the tone of the games and elements of a first-person gaming experience.
You guys had one of the best reactions I've seen to this show. Great job calling the mom/ghoul tie in at the end!
I know I'am late to the party, but FEV mixed with radiation mutated people and creatures into mutants, hence why some die and some mutate in the wasteland. Recently found you channel after Hot Fuzz, love your reaction to jokes that fly over the majority of reactors, earned a sub from me. Much love, slava Dolg.
Guess I'm in the minority here but I didnt care for Max at all. He should have been swiss cheesed for his trangression but like yall said perhaps the leader had a soft spot for bcse he recognized himself in him or saved him as a child. Max is way too easy to manipulate so I think he sees Max weakness as his strength. Funny thing Max is always lucking up into the right opportunities that always workout how convenient, lol. Also why does Dean have so much loyalty towards Max gonna need some backstory here other than convenient writing.
We don't know WHAT happened to Janey after the bombs dropped. The most recent information we have is that she was on a horse with her father fleeing a birthday party, and that she was not in her father's company the next time we saw him 219 years later. All the other flashbacks to the pre-war era were set BEFORE the birthday party.
It's entirely possible Janey didn't end up in a vault.
The scene with the Ghoul and the Boys in the dark room reminded me so much of a similar scene from the movie Equilibrium with Christian Bale - I’m guessing there was an even earlier film that both paid homage to , but not sure where
the ghoul enters
💀YEAAAAAAAAAHHHEHEHEHE !!!!!! 🤪
When Chuck said he's the Omar of this shit! Goddamn this is why I love anti-heroes. Also dope reaction guys. Much love
De aging seldom looks great tbh
Self-inflicted wound to get out of going to the front. 🤨
Remember reading about german soldiers doing that to avoid being sent east against the russians.
Maximus attacking McLean wasn't dumb, if it is then we all do dumb stuff when we are angry, just imagine hearing what he heard, you'll loose your mind
Cuba Gooding Majors is sending me 😂😂😂 Why y’all call that boy that?
Fabulous reaction series chaps!
Moldaver was rich back in the day. Vault-tec probably offered her a spot in their vault, or she developed her own cyro pods. Also, these flashbacks hint that Lucy's mom might have developed a relationship with Moldaver, which would probably account more fro his insane rage than any Vault-tec training would. Being jilted for somebody else is a notorious reason for people to kill their ex's.
The Bride was Ep.1 :) But yeah , see what you mean. Good stuff.
left and middle guys try not assuming everyone is a ghoul challenge
Vault Tech said they should be the ones to drop the bombs first but i think something went wrong as why would barb let coop take their daughter to a party when she wanted her family to be in a vault? Either someone in the company set it off prematurely or another faction pre empted them.
China
Glad you know all that I know and no more playin my cards close to my chest, worried about spoilers!
Loved this series, can't wait for the next season, and my wife was just telling me something about Fallout London which sounds intriguing too.
I'm right in line with you all as far as which of the 3 arcs was best: Ghoul Rules, and Max was Min. But it doesn't have to stay that way I see potential in Max, if he starts being smarter from the jump!
So, I haven’t read through all the comments but basically. Rose Meclain went to shady sands. Took her daughter. And hank came up and roasted them. But there is an odd connection to 32 surrounding this whole idea in whats called a shadow plot.
Used often. But it’s how the director and writer do it. Fallout did it great.
I believe rose mclain believed in her theory, left. Found moldaver in 33. Became friends and they both left. I would suppose it was assumed that rose was taken against her will. So hank made a search part. When he realized she was right made an attack squad. And took out shady sands. I’d venture to guess shady sands had trade routes. So thusly Moldavor. Was leading one of these and came back to a cater. She took time energy and resources to build a strong enough crew actually raid a vault. I’d assume the pip boy from is a gift or. When she got ghoulified. She took it from her to gain revenge on the vault dwellers. All speculation. But can’t wait to see if I’m right.
Moldaver was not in 33. Moldaver was not in any of the vaults. Cryopod tech isn't exclusive to vault tec. Also the only people from the past going into the vault 32 and 33 were from 31 who were Bud's Buds. She was not one of them
From when I first made this comment. Till now and rewatched. I agree. I think she was from a vault known as vault 14. I think… but they were a successful vault that was meant to be explored after its fall. But they did it well and overseer of vault 32 f’d them all up. I could be wrong about that though still.
@@davidhasselblad3825 no Moldaver likely used one of the House cryopods since he sold that as a service.
Great reaction guys!
Everyone goes to Vegas. Hahaha.
Awesome, been waiting all day. This has become one of my favorite shows. Ma June put coordinates into her pipboy in ep 2
4:16 wow I just caught this after watching your reaction, he totally said “the likes of you” not just “you” as its sword. Hopefully Maximus’ time with Lucy has upped his Perception and Intel to see through those words. That man will use anyone to further his plans. He is not the leader of the BoS merely a Cardinal? who’s hungry for power.
Maldova and lucy's mother were lovers. She kept her alive all this time because she could not part with her or wanted her to see her vision realised. You see the scenes that show this, its subtle, but its there. EDIT: you noticed too.
Steph, i've got money on being Vault Girl. It's the hair. Cooper was Vault boy, Steph was vault girl.
What i love most about the series is the writing. In the last episode we see everyone we thought was a good guy become bad and everyone we thought was a bad guy, end up being good. Brilliant.
Great reaction too fella's, Just subbed. Much love from the UK
nowhere is that said in the episode. that is your fantasy
This show gets away with telling its audience, the American public, a helluva lot about how their post-WWII empire actually works in real life. Amazing what stories you can tell when you dress things up as “It’s all just make believe”, isn’t it?
🔥 reaction as always. Season 2 is a Go!!!
The one thing I hate about this show is it’s trying to poetry that the companies are the ones who instigated the bombs dropping. For all of fallout’s existence this has never been the case, and it simply makes no goddamn sense. You cannot convince me that any company thinks it can make money in a post apocalypse. Since this show is considered canon, I really hope they fix this in season 2. Else, I’m just going to pretend this one tidbit doesn’t exist.
I’d wait for season 2 before you make an assumption. Vault Tec is just a company and Barb, who receives a message before she makes the suggestion about dropping the bombs, is likely being guided by someone higher up. It makes more sense that Vault Tec is working for someone else.
There’s a second season coming but people are jumping the gun way too fast. They purposely left storylines open.
It has always been hinted in the games that Vault tec either started the nuclear attack or were planning to
If only Lucy's father had known that vault dwellers had started the city he destroyed...Who's the mystery person in the conference room?
More than likely an Enclave head
Mysterious stranger?
@@mysredeyeswhile the enclave had vaults they also seemed to be in some conflict with Vault Tech as they are the remnants of the US government who were about to sign peace with China as I recall. It's probably the head of Vault Tech.
the vault revolved against the overseer. Fascinating how people forgot it was a renegade vault.
I'm waiting for some fast food joint to put out a Nuka- Cola drink. Taco bell is my choice.
It is very interesting that that Knight of the Brotherhood staggers into the Observatory headquarters and drops dead, Maximus frees Hank and then Hank goes and removes the dead guy from the armor by himself and then lifts the armor up so that he can climb into it (remember the trouble that younger and stronger Maximus had when he had to get Titus out of the other suit earlier) and all this is going on only feet away from Lucy and Maximus and they don't seem to notice. Might have been better had they written it so that Hank convinced Maximus to help him get the armor so that he could "save" Lucy, Hank would need the protection of the armor cause he is the older dude and could fly Lucy to freedom I suppose.
the knight had his head blown off and it was just the armor passing along the last nerve movements.
@@toomanyaccounts I know the head was gone but the body would still be in the suit. Everyone says it would be very easy to get it out but I still have my doubts that he could do that so close to both of them and they wouldn't even notice but that's the magic of selective reveals.
@@FlamingoKickerits meant to be opened very quickly if you know how and get in and out. so pulling a body out should be easy if it hasn't gone into rigor.
@@toomanyaccountsI wasn't thinking of rigor mortis but Kyle is an old man now although they dye his hair and I had to lift my elderly dad out of bed once and he wasn't huge but damn he was heavy. Not as easy as it might seem. I know, it's fantasy tv so I'm probably overthinking it .
@@FlamingoKicker he seemed pretty fit for his age and he worked the legs to power the TV. Plus desperation would be a factor. No telling how heavy the guy prior in there weighed. I don't think we even get a look at the prior occupant. We know the brotherhood uses they so maybe it was a they.
He blew up Shady Sands, 20 years ago.
I enjoyed this episode and the entire series as a whole. My favorite character was Lucy. I am looking forward to season 2. 😉
They aren't clones lol. They've just been cryo'ed until it was time for them to come out.
Ur sound editing to take copyrighted music out is top notch, but it’s funny how the lack of music makes the scenes seem so flat 😂
Glad that you notice that vfx in Fallout is the best !
because they did a lot of practical. they used a real world jetpack for the filly fight
Just a minute of housekeeping. You have accidentally placed the Shogun finale in between Fallout episode 7 and 8 in your Fallout playlist.
The skull is a death claw
So Hank didn't recognize Moldaver in episode 1 as soon as vault 32 opened🤔
He sort of did but dismissed it since how would Moldvaer be one of Bud's Buds? When the raiders were rampaging he realized it was her
The Communist Moldaver drives a wedge between two relationships. She infiltrate's Cooper in the old world and she does the same thing with Lucy's Mom in the new world. She will be in the second season for sure.
THANKS for this!!!!!
It is confirmed, there will be Season 2, also, there are 122 vaults in the Fallout universe
That was a skull of the deathclaw
I think Barb (his ex wife) sent a retrieval team to get Janey. It makes sense she'd know when they were triggering the war. I think the nukes were pre-planted by Vault tech. At least some of them.
no China just acted first
i mean yes vault tech was talking about dropping the bombs but theres lore out there that leans towards China being first.... but its still crazy to hear them say it out loud
There’s also lore that says aliens did it. It’s entirely possible they’re ALL true.
Yeah, and I'm starting to wonder if it was the Brotherhood that nuked Shady Sands.
Moldaver says Lucy's father burned it to the ground, not bombed or nuked...
@@corvuslight The Brotherhood was in conflict with the NCR. Its outsaid in the games the NCR was in trouble in 2277. So their fall was starting.
the planned Fallout movie had the vaultec president launch the missile salvo that started the Great War. Its always been hinted in the games that Vault tec either started or was planning to.
I doubt it about barb in 31. Vault 31 was for lower executives like Henry an assistant & Betty was a receptionist.
Barb was ahead of Bud in the hierarchy
I've been waiting for thisssss!!!
It's absolutely amazing to see how bad y'all are at connecting the dots, especially the dude in the middle. Every single prediction and conclusion, bar the mom, is light-years off the mark. Just shots in the dark, with little understanding behind them, hitting absolutely nothing,
Never seen anything like it.
So the show creators stated in a IGN interview..
"We don't have any documentation on why Maldaver is over 200 year but it's interesting to explore in season 2".
Other words we'll think of something by season 2 because we have nothing now.
Aye
I think the de-aging was practical make up. Hi res digital is a lot harder on traditional makeup technique than film.
Guys, you can not follow the basic plot. It would be funny if it was not so sad. What made you think that Shady Samds was bombed 200 years ago? Haha
😉😉
