@KaiserReinhard I miss his voice but I think they still did well with it in this story.

[@anthonygordon9483]

@KaiserReinhard It looks like the Ghouls wife is probably the one that pitched the term to all the CEO's. Remember she was responsible for their marketing. So she helped her husband Cooper Howard become the spokeperson for vault tech witch coined Vault boy and his thumbs up. Even the blue and gold colors was inspired by her marketing. And then she pitched "War never changed" Bam. Makes sense that the head of marketing would be the spear head for all of vault tecs pitches and phrases and marketing.

[@artisan09]

I was not expecting the ghoul to be her mom, that was unexpected emotional damage.

[@TheDigitalThreat]

The second she walked in the room and they showed the ghoul, I KNEW it was. Way to predictable imo~ If they didnt focus on it and let it just be set dressing, then it would have been surprising and less obvious, but focusing on it multiple times just screams "I'm a surprise!" (and there were was only one female we know who is "dead" that would be a gut punch/surprise for Lucy).

[@zualapips1638]

​@@charlie7masonYou can almost see her point as well. She thinks it's like starting humanity over, but with like-minded people like herself. She likely thinks she'll just be unfrozen along with her family in some Utopia created by Vault-Tech.

[@charlie7mason]

@@zualapips1638 I also got the feeling of her realizing she's in too deep and can only play along in order to secure her family's future rather than try to fight the combined powers of the corporations and the enclave within the US government. She knew what the situation was going to be like but she didn't want to throw it all away and take a chance being on the wrong side of it by becoming a whistleblower. Vault-Tec had already proven to be ruthless, so she knew she stood no chance fighting them and everyone else at the same time.

[@volourn9764]

She's evil. People seem to be making too many excuses for her simply because if her connection to a favored character yet not giving a break to Lucy's father. She is evil to the core. So is he. You can love your family, and still be evil. She was all for committing mass murder fir 'experiments', power, and control. SICK.

Was fun doing a rewatch after finishing the show. Certain things hit harder with all the context, like episode 7 when Lucy told Max "If my dad knew that I destroyed an entire community just to save him, it'd break his heart."

[@592Johno]

Bruh I missed so much shit😭 I didn't even pick up that Henry was Hank☠️

[@johnplaysgames3120]

There's another taste of that when Lucy walks into Moldaver's HQ and says that she'd considered stuffing a grenade into the neck-hole of Wilzig's head, her plan being to walk in there and blow everyone up. What Lucy didn't know when she admitted that was that walking into Moldaver's home and blowing everyone up is exactly what Hank did when Rose wouldn't come back to the vault. Lucy illustrates the difference between her and her father by ultimately deciding not to blow up her enemies and, instead, choosing to "keep things civil." Lucy is actually the good person that Hank pretended to be.

[@nikolasmichaelides9444]

In the end, all of our main characters got what they were looking for at the start of the story. And none of them liked it, they were no longer the same people.

[@BusinessHojlund]

Wasteland changes you 😉

[@shannonwainwright5285]

Brings me back to episode 2, The Target, when Michael Emerson's Character, Wilzig, told Lucy, "Will you still want the same things, once you are a different animal all together?"

[@johnplaysgames3120]

@@shannonwainwright5285 It actually didn't strike me the first time I watched it but I eventually realized that the same applies to us, the viewers. We start out the series wanting to see Moldaver die. When we eventually do get that moment, we don't want it anymore because the journey of the show -- and all the info we learned along the way -- has changed our view of things as well.

[@quartzninja]

[@pabloc8808]

[@crackerjack2303]

My first my first one was fallout 3 been in love ever since

[@volourn9764]

I think they had the wrong person use it first.

[@petrgalko4152]

The Ghouls story was to me by far the best one. Because it is incredibly paradoxical idea that The Vault boy, the symbol of all vault dwellers and THE Symbol of Vaults protection against Radiation is a 200 (something) years old Ghoul pumped up with rads and is out to kill and destroy everyone and everything vaguely related to Vault Tec!

[@johnplaysgames3120]

Interesting that when he puts on the vault suit for the first time for that commercial, he asks if it actually protects against radiation and the Vault-Tec person is like, "Uh... yeah... totally..." in a way that tells us that, no, it really doesn't.

[@rmartinson19]

I love how Wilzig's line from the second episode came true for all three main characters: "But will you want the same things... when you've become a different animal altogether?" Cooper has regained some of his humanity, and is now in it for much more than just "the love of the game". Maximus got everything he ever wanted, only for his "victory" to taste like ashes. And Lucy's whole world just burned to the ground, to the point where she's ready to team up with the man who tormented her to hunt her father down. Not to save him this time, but to see some sort of justice done.

[@johnplaysgames3120]

Same for the viewers. From the beginning, we're rooting for Moldaver to be defeated/killed. But because of the things we learn on our way to the finale, we don't want it anymore, making her death scene a sad moment instead of a victorious one.

I honestly feel as bad for Lucy as I do for Cooper/The Ghoul. Both were not only horribly lied to by the person they loved the most, but those people (Barb and Hank) are also responsible for the genocide of countless people. This is one of the best season finales I’ve ever seen! Not only does it unravel most of the mysteries setup throughout the show, it also expands the lore of the entire Fallout franchise in a monumental way. 7:27 also DAMNIT ACHARA! How are you so goddamn clever!?!?

[@lockekappa500]

@@houseofaction I'd imagein he did not, probably still doesnt even know the whole purpose of all of this.

[@RocketSurgn_]

@@houseofaction Aside from that, I don’t think the episode is really saying that Vault Tec necessarily did drop the bomb, just that they absolutely would if they decided it was necessary and they likely were involved in manipulating the conflict away from peace. There’s long been contradictory information about who launched first, and several factions that were at least considering starting it themselves including the Enclave, and message logs suggesting almost everyone was caught off guard with the war starting before they planned. The enclave had a lot of people caught away from their planned bunkers, the daughter of a Vault Tec senior exec that was high enough to lead that big of a meeting not being in a safe place at least suggests they may not have expected it either… They might intend it to be taken as “Vault Tec did start the war directly”, won’t know unless/until they show more about that later, but it would be very consistent for them to have just been giving us yet another manipulative faction with dreams of “winning” a nuclear war and underestimating the chaos.

The juxtaposition of the jolly old timer music and the gore is very deliberate. In the game you can have your radio on on your pip boy while you kill enemies. Especially when you use V.A.T.S and time slows down, they have captured this so well. As a fallout fan this is a 10/10

[@Eyrothath]

They even captured it when I give my followers in the game all my items for them to carry.

[@johnplaysgames3120]

Also, the point of having that kind of music in the game in the first place is because it represents the optimism of the atomic age/pre-war past juxtaposed against the bitter reality of what the future turned out to be. This is why the happy music still gives you sad vibes in those scenes. It underlines the failure of the past's lofty hopes for a utopian future.

[@DeathWishMonkey]

I loved how the finale flipped the script and changed our perspective. White is black, up is down. Vault Tech is now the overarching enemy, Brotherhood of Steel are zealots and imperialists, and Lucy/Max finally got their wish when they no longer wanted it.

[@TehIdiotOne]

For those of us that has played the games, could see a lot of that coming from miles away, Vault Tec are the literal devils(because we've come across and seen firsthands the experiments mentioned in the board room scene), and BoS are largely dickheads throughout the games too, with a few exceptions from certain Elders and chapters.

Walton Goggins deserves every conceivable acting award for this show. What a stellar performance.

[@milkiassamuel780]

All the reveals in this finale were CRAZY. Ive never played Fallout, so I had no idea about the lore. However, I loved this show, and the fantastic sets, practical effects and acting by Walton Goggin, Ella Purnell, Max Moten and Moises Arias were all outstanding in this show. The twist that Hank, as well as other Vault dwellers from 2077 like Betty and what's left of Bud Adkins, was responsible for nuking Shady Sands and killing thousands, including his own wife and Maximus's family, honestly blew my mind. Not to mention the fact that Cooper's wife and the entirety of Vault Co. starting the war, which is INSANITY, to begin with, is so incredibly dark and yet sadly extremely true to how I imagine a lot of governments and businesses would use a nuclear fallout to their advantage. It is also even more grim that you realise all the ideas that the meeting members were suggesting are all tasks that different Vaults are assigned to do in the actual Fallout Games as Vault Dwellers of the game since each Vault is tasked to do some meaningless and unethical experiments that are just a sick game for the Enclave (rich folks at the top). It was really satisfying seeing The Ghoul shoot Henry even if he survived, and Lucy having to kill her own barely alive mother just to stop her suffering as a Ghoul is so tragic, especially when all she wanted to do was to live her own life with Moldaver who actually loved her and give her children a better future. I really hope Maximus uses his power as a knight to do some real good, and I genuinely hope he can reunite with Lucy again because the two of them are too good for this world, and they deserve happiness together, as well as the Ghoul/aka Cooper. One thing I especially loved about this series is how every action in the show has some reaction or consequence at the end of the day, such as how Lucy lets all the Ghouls free, which is apparently very similar gameplay tactics to the original games that do the same thing having players's actions impact them. I NEED THEM TO ANNOUNCE A SEASON 2! I especially hope that teasing at the end with New Vegas and the skull of a Deathclaw means a Season 2 is bound to happen.

[@CinePals]

Yep, yep, yep!

[@TehIdiotOne]

As a player of the games(Fallout 3, New Vegas and Fallout 4), i was pretty happy they finally confirmed the long standing theory that Vault Tec dropped the first bombs. It was hinted at here and there, but never confirmed. I have to say though, i'm a little bit worried about the lore with regards to NCR and New Vegas in particular. NCR for example was the most powerful faction in probably all of North America in the decades before the show taking place, controlling much of the west coast. They were of course in decline by the time New Vegas happend(which is about ~15 years before the events of the TV show). They're kinda showing the NCR as if it no longer exists, especially since Shady Sands was the first capital of the NCR. Another thing, apparently Shady Sands was bombed in 2277, while Fallout New Vegas takes place in 2281, and in the game there is not a single reference whatsoever of any NCR character that their capital has been bombed.

​​@@TehIdiotOne I get it man, I do. But after starving for more great Fallout content and seemingly finally eating good with this show releasing, I'm fine with change. It keeps the world of Fallout feeling lived in, ya know. Time doesn't stop for the people in Fallout when we stop playing the games, time still moves forward. The NCR ending of FNV is considered the more canon among them, with them taking the Hoover Dam and all which requires the killing of Mr. House like a majority of the other endings also require. But they might finally pick one of them to be THE canon ending and who knows, it could be any of them (most likely either the NCR one, Yes Man ending or maybe even the Mr. House ending). Edit: if Season 2 is as good as this Season was, I honestly do not care which way they go with it as long as it is compelling and fits narrative-wise.

Making a tv show about an rpg like fallout is actually very clever cuz you get all the lore and the setting already done for you but at the same time you don’t need to follow a set story you can just create your own in this universe and it will feel both familiar and unique, also I love that there wasn’t really that many spoken exposition for example they don’t try to explain why or how ghouls exist they just make a passing mention of being due radiation and that’s pretty much it because that’s not really important for the story they are telling you don’t need a Wikipedia article about how shit works, it just works so you can roll with the weird elements and focus on the story

[@LittleGalaxyBoy]

2:44 Sounds like they'll be a new West Coast Brotherhood of Steel. For context the Brotherhood was founded on the West Coast by former soldiers who saw the horrors of what West-Tek were doing behind closed doors, using military prisoners as test subjects for creating Super Solider that became the Super Mutants we know from the games. The goal was to keep tech from the hands of wastelanders so events like the Great War would never happen again. But 2161 the events of the first game the BOS were active. By 2241 they had outposts within the NCR such as local cities. But sometime after this the NCR would go to war with the BOS a big problem as the Brotherhood did not hire outsiders, everyone was born into the Brotherhood. So the NCR with it's massive military campaign outnumbered the Brotherhood leading them to the BOS hiding away in bunkers. This is what we see in New Vegas set in 2281. The Brotherhood were active on the East Coast as well settling in the Capital Wasteland, D.C. This chapter took up the mission of helping the wasteland and even hired outsiders to fill their ranks to fight against the large Super Mutant hoards. West Coast did not like this and cut ties. This is the Brotherhood we meet in Fallout 3 in 2277. Sometime after this a young Arthur Maxson became Elder and started to revert back to the old ways of the Brotherhood, getting into contact with the West Coast and even building an airship that would allow them to travel large distances. They also found a stockpile of T-60 Power Armour replacing the T-45 we see them wear in Fallout 3. By the time of Fallout 4 set in 2287 the BOS from The Capital Wasteland travelled to The Commonwealth in their airship, same design we see in the Fallout series but two differant airships. My theory is that sometime around the 2280s 5 years after Fallout 3 the East Coast Brotherhood of Steel sent an airship West to reinforce the West Coast Brotherhood. That's why we see a T-60 Knight during Max's flashback, West Coast only wore T-51 (personal favourite power armour) and the T-45. They also fly the East Coast Brotherhood flag in this series and hire outsiders, most likely children like we see in The Mandalorian. Also I'm pretty sure that Knight Titus had an East Coast accent, sounded Boston so I think most of the Brotherhood we see in the show are from the East Coast with a few being from the West such as Max. But yeah it looks like they'll form a new West Coast Chapter. I hope we see T-51 power armour in the next season. it's the armour used in the first Fallout game and is shown on the box art so it's iconic. The T-60 was only introduced with Fallout 4 but hey 2015 is nearly 10 years ago now so I guess it's old now.

The Brotherhood isn't supposed to be evil though. They're not power-hungry conquerors.

@@mattragusa210 The idea in Fallout 4 is that Lyons Brotherhood ended up merging back with the Brotherhood Outcasts who still had a xenophobic attitude. What occurred is they maintained the interventionist and expansionist views of Lyons' Brotherhood, but also adopted the xenophobic and technology centered attitude of the Outcasts. Lyons was an expansionist, but viewed outsiders as human beings and wanted to make a positive impact. The Outcasts thought of outsiders as dumb savages, but primarily kept to themselves and focused on gathering tech, so the merger ended up bringing the worst elements of the Brotherhood to the surface.

West coast origination is not quite right, unless you mean the place where the BoS leaders formulated their plan. IF i remember right they basically founded the BoS and then immediately spread out (played FO1 long time ago, but FOT had some good lore on it). With the east coast chapter basically the only one who stay true to the original codex and expanded on it as they started to build up the people around their outpost. The other chapters all went kinda too fanatic, or too nuts sooner or later.
