It's not about not wanting to breathe the same air. Enforcers wear gas masks because the air in the Lanes is really polluted. Not immediately deadly, but the longer you breathe it, the higher is risk of getting some kinds of lung disease. The water is even worse - that is why when the bag of loot went into the river, Vi said "The stuff is gone".

I heard several times that the only music that gets copyrighted is the intro song. BTW, all music in this show (including intro) was written specifiaclly for this show.

By the end of the next episode your gonna feel like your in Middle-earth truly it blew everyone's minds.

Melkor

All 3 vaults 31,32,33 are in los ANGELES

Hell yeah💯 Always nice to see ppl react to this show 🆙💯

The gang said why he was there. You don't need the details.

This series gets so much hate online but I actually enjoyed it. I love being in Middle Earth!!

I teared up when hearing Poppy's family died, I didn't know it was 4. Not that 2 shouldn't of made me cry haha.what do you think of the casting of Ellendil and Isildur? Aragorn is from a Numenor bloodline. I think they're great 👏🏼. And do you like Halbrand? I seen you noticed the Strider similarities where hes like a exile and hiding from being King.

You should check out the soundtrack too 🥰😋 search Bear McCreary 'Nori Brandyfoot', Galadriel, Khazad-Dum, Numenor, Sauron..the list goes ever on and on

Yeh our prediction is it's still Gandalf, Gandalf went by the name Olorin in the second age yet haters seem to think they know more lore than the Tolkien scholars in the writing room 🤣 please try to ignore the critics as much as possible.

In the conference room, the big companies talked about experiments on the vault dwellers. One of them said they could separate the parents from children and only the smartest kids would survive. That is Vault 75 in Fallout 4. Since you played the game, I thought you would like to know that.😀

Hey, welcome to watching the show. I'm a lifelong Tolkien fan, and I really enjoyed Season 1. I'm very excited for Season 2. I hope you enjoy the show!

Read The Silmarillion

if you dont think about it too much....this series is mediocrely okay. and could be fun bth

Thank you so much for coming to this late! I'm always welcoming new reactions, especially now that most of the fan hate has gotten bored and moved back to crying about Star Wars. I really hope you enjoy this series. I think people who know nothing about Tolkien, who come to a brand new fantasy series with no prior knowledge of Middle-Earth, like this show a LOT. Maybe the most. I also know that the enjoyment drops for a few people: of course, bigots, racists, sexist incels who resent the "wokeness" of ths show will hate it. They seem to hate it the most. But then, there IS a group of Tolkien fans ranging from casual-to-serious, who don't care for it, and I guess that's okay too. Anyone who unquestioningly accepts Christopher Tolkien's earliest work, including his somewhat inventive stitching together of "The SIlmarillion," as absolute canon will be really disappointed by the show. I don't necessarily take that book to be canon Tolkien. He never approved it. In the five years after his death, the book as we know it was stitched together by his son Christopher Tolkien from an entire house full of conflicting and sometimes contradictory notes, written by JRRT over about half a century, sometimes in other languages, sometimes in languages no one but he spoke. He was notoriously slow to make final decisions, to the point that The Hobbit had already been in print for a decade before Tolkien, wanting to tie the magic ring in the book into the One Ring in his Lord of the Rings, went back and completely rewrote the Gollum chapter to reflect the nature and powers of the One Ring, and to overwrite Gollum's willingness to part with it for a seething hatred of "Baggins" that made the next book possible. In short, Tolkien wasn't finished deciding how things before The Hobbit actually went. Some of the decisions Christopher made are well reflected in this show. Others are completely gainsaid. And some things are updated for people encountering these stories half a world and most of a century away from the time and the place where they were written. I think Tolkien resented people who dind't understand his work in his own lifetime. But he understood that he was trying to create a mythology for England, and he knew enough about mythology to know it would change over time. In some ways, he might have bristled at the inclusion or invention of new chapters: I think the romantic subplot with "Tauriel" in "The Hobbit" was totally unneeded. On the other hand, he might also look on Tauriel with the eyes of a medievalist and mythologist, the same way he looked on Sir Lancelot in the Arthurian Saga--a very late French invention, never mentioned by the original Arthurian chroniclers, who became an accepted part of the story in the century or so after Chretien de Troyes and Malory, as if he had always been there. If this story doesn't agree with "how things were" in this made-up world, based on what other people have told you about JRRT based on their own understanding, you don't have to enjoy it any less. Tolkien wrote this mythology for England, and believe it or not, England has changed in the last 100 years as well. If the world of Middle-Earth changes to reflect that, as it certainly will over time, that's not a sign that new writers are betraying Tolkien's vision. It's a sign that the story is finally passing into myth. And "myth," unlike "intellectual property," undergoes variance over time. Tolkien wanted to create a myth, and these stories transform from literature to myth, it becomes more acceptable for new writers to develop the orignal work in new directions, sometimes even contradicting what came before. Enjoy this series. Enjoy that it's not quite a literal, completely faithful imagining of Tolkien's Second Age. And enjoy the fact that myth changes over time and this would not be bothering him nearly as much as others seem to think.

Amazon has Butchered one of the most beloved works of litrature written in the 20th century completely changing the characters and the timeline and making it all up . One of the worst characters is Guy-ladriel who is totally out of character. Elrond is also out of character. what is next for the Butchers bench Wind in the Willows , Lion the witch and the wardrobe war and peace why not have Napolion be a sub saharan native why not have Anne Boleyn be a mandarin queen why not have an Alien space ship attack at the Fall of Gondolin Pfffft! what an utter load of rubbish.

Dogmeat isn't "a dog", it's all - well, most - companion dogs in the Fallout universe, with the exceptions being Rex (full companion) and Roxie (temporary/location specific companion which can die). Dogmeat was in Fallout 1, 2, 3, 4, and as a pet in Fallout Shelter, and of course in the show.

Maximus is "stupid" - as in, socially awkward - because he's apparently a "low" charisma build; both Lucy and Maximus have a charisma stat of 5, and the effects are failed speech and barter checks. Furthermore, his intelligence is only 4. As for "when the bombs fell", they're just talking over each other. Lucy means when the bombs fell in 2077 during the war, while Maximus refers to when a bomb took out Shady Sands when he was just a kid.

There are definitely good and likable characters in or originating from the BoS in the games. Like our friend Maximus here, who later gives a statement about the brotherhood that is aligned with his ideals, but certainly not the BoS. Yeah they're kinda twisted, but not as bad and ruthless as i.e. Enclave, and not as crazy as some of the other cults. All factions in a role playing game shouldn't be good or likable, that would be boring and Diensyesque. Also, characters in game, and even more so on screen, needs to be developed. Having a mystery surrounding them if they are likable or not, to me is a good approach to writing. Even if his backstory is weak for obvious reasons, and Maximus doesn't evolve that much during this season, I'm pretty sure he'll have a more significant role in season 2. The doctor/scientist is Enclave - one of the worst factions in the game - and some of the takeaways from the show alone are; close ties with Vault Tec, researching the "neck thing" (you know what it is by now), researching canine stuff (Cyberdogs?), and are even involved with FEV if you pay close attention to the opening minutes of this episode.

If you like FO4 you should really give Fallout New Vegas a go. FO4 is a better computer game and more polished, but FONV is a better role playing game that definitely is a bit dated now. Btw, the playlist is in reverse order, which may prevent some from watching, but I'll manage.

Hello, have you seen the movie Tarzan The Fearless?

Remember when Lucy didnt want to take vault 4 fusion core because of what her dad would think. Well eff you Hank. Moldaver is alive IMO for the very same reason Hank is, she had a private cryogenic pod probably in New Vegas. From the change in her age came out maybe twenty years ago. It is the cold fusion technology vault-tec took from Moldavers company and put on a shelf, IT IS NOT the same tech as the fusion cores, those do not provide unlimited energy. Moldaver went out to fight, not run away she is IMO the current leader of the New California Republic. The city where Hank is going is New Vegas. Moldaver CRYO she had enough money to build her own shelter.

The 14th Doctor's Tardis and the 15th Doctor's Tardis are the same, just at different points in time. I believe that when the Toymaker shot the Fourteenth Doctor, in The Giggle, the Fifteenth Doctor was taken from the end of his predecessor's life to the present. The Fifteenth Doctor realized that the Toymaker's domain had not yet completely eroded, and also that he had not claimed his prize for victory. He took out a hammer from under a platform and hit the Tardis, bringing his Tardis back from the future. But I imagine that, in the 50th anniversary special, there were 10 versions of Sutekh swirling around Gallifrey on top of each Tardis. 😂

"What will survive of us is love" is the last line of a poem called An Arundel Tomb by Philip Larkin. It describes the poet's response to seeing a pair of recumbent medieval tomb effigies with their hands joined in Chichester Cathedral. But you probably already know this. I'm more than a month late. LOL

You can consider any dog companion in the Fallout Universe "Dogmeat", as it's used in multiple instances across different storylines. I personally like the Brotherhood of Steel, but not just because of the cool armor, etc.. I like that they aren't portrayed as pure good or pure evil, they are always conflicted, some are true to the ideals while others only give lip service to the rules. Glad to see another Fallout fan who isn't out to dig on everything they don't find consistent or they don't necessarily approve of. Just started your reactions, looking forward to more.

IMO the prisoners were killed by Betty and/or Steph, their usefulness as a distraction is over. The worship of Moldaver is because the worshippers are from Shady Sands and Moldaver is a revered leader, if not, the current head of the New California Republic.

The next episode is confirmed to returning at Christmas. This is one the worst season finales in the history of the show there was all this big build up for weeks as to whose Ruby's mother was like "Is she an alien?" "Is she a Time Lord" "Is she this and that?" and RTD came up with one if the most dullest and most laziest written boring plotlines ever made like "Oh no she's just an ordinary person who abandoned her daughter" that's writing for soap operas not science fiction so that was the biggest disappointment also she wears a big cloak and points at the name Ruby which no can see so that made absolutely no sense i'm kind of getting sick of companions with their families i just want to see space adventures and monsters and Daleks. It would also be nice to have an episode where Ncuti's Doctor doesn't keep crying every episode which I'm not a particular big fan of. Wasn't a fan of the Sutekh CGI dog I would had rather they had a real actor and looked in the same way as he did in Classic Who with the green eyes and the scary mask I am however glad they used the same voice actor. But no this episode for me was a major let down.

The occurrence of the woman Susan that you say that you didn’t notice, she appeared in "Space Babies" .

Why is so much of the episode cut out? No conversation between Coop and Barb, no reaction to the one eyed overseer, etc. I wish you included more of the episode.

Richard E Grant, the 9th Doctor from the comics is now canon (4th face). He plays the great Intelligence in live action Doctor Who.

Alot of reactors seem to miss the entire point of the ending of the episode the reason why Lindy and the rest of the people didn't want to go with the Doctor in the TARDIS was because he was black if you look back at the beginning of the episode earlier you'll notice there's not a single multi racial person in the friend list in Lindy's bubble and as soon as she saw the Doctor she immediately blocked him when he was trying to help her despite their racism the Doctor was still willing to help them but they just wouldnt take his help and i have to say and i know this is harsh but serves them right if something bad does happen to them. Lindy is a not only a racist and spoiled brattish but she's also a complete sociopath she had Ricky killed for her own life after he tried to help her. Nice performance from Ncuti Gatwa when his Doctor goes from his typical smile and laughtng to his anger and outrage. Yes it's an alien planet called finetime as explained in the episode Lindy and the rest of the humans it was not made clear in the episode but it is presumed they were aliens due to a dead body they showed at the beginning of the episode being dragged away that has blue blood.

Nothing happened? She saved the world from going to the brink of nuclear war. That's all 😊

Lucy could not just take the chip it needs a special extractor. Norm grows to be my favorite character by series end.

Yes, the dog was under weight. FYI its name is cx-404 not dogmeat which is a n error code for "file not found" That was a MK1 turret which are very poor shots. In The Ghouls defense cx-404 attacked him, which gets you stabbed in the wasteland.

Best decision of series was to not make it realistic and lean into the game logic. The armor isn't heavy per se, it is operated by hydraulics and servos, not your muscle power. Yes California, Santa Monica. The vault people fought back and there are around two hundred people in each vault, so they did out number the "raiders". Not to mention the "raiders" motivations are not what you think.

Guys, at 00:55 I was thinking about "Hell Bent", and completely forgot about the "Timeless Child". 😞

Is this red haired woman the Nany People?

What if the guy has fingers the size of Shaquille O'Neal's fingers? He won't have to worry about mushrooms from nuclear bombs?

Wow, you seem like a nice old lady
