That pale ghoul who said, "It's her", is the same one that she had set free back in the Super-Duper Mart.

[@rafaelflorez6446]

Yep, not many people catch that.

[@Metzwerg74]

he´s the one that thanked her....

[@immortaljanus]

It's also possible that people knew she was her mother's daughter because she looked like her? These people were remnants of Shady Sands so they could very well have known Lucy's mother.

[@rafaelflorez6446]

@@immortaljanus Nah, I'm pretty sure it's the one that thanked her when she freed them. Interesiting theory though...

[@Sessis]

Omg thank you for pointing that out, I knew she looked familiar but couldn’t at all place it in the moment

[@AretaicGames]

Wilzig's question to Lucy comes back to us: "Will you still want the same things when you have become a different animal altogether?" As the Ghoul would say, "I guess not." (The sheer number of set-ups and pay-offs in this series is extraordinary. Every twist and revelation in the finale was earned several times over.)

[@BigCowProductions]

Agreed!!! Extremely well written

[@tinweidman989]

"If my dad found out that i destroyed an entire community to save him, that'd break his heart." He destroyed a community of over 30,000 people to 'save' her, in his eyes, but really he did it to protect Vault-Tec's mission of destroying all competition

[@DavidFailsYT]

"..itd break his heart." Spoiler alert: he'd be so proud

[@BigCowProductions]

And that moment when she says to Moldaver "i wasn't raised like that" lol

[@RocketSurgn_]

Max bringing the brotherhood to the head- he’s kind of fulfilling the deal he made with Lucy earlier, before she knew he wasn’t a knight. She asked him to bring some of the brotherhood knights to help save her father, so this is the only way he could do that (and as far as he knows Lucy has no reason to care about the head or the people at the observatory anyway as long as she gets her father back).

[@nvcn86]

also he might've hoped she would already be done and out, maybe.

[@mckrackin5324]

The skull at the end was a Deathclaw. A monster from the games. The new location was New Vegas. This was a lot of fun.

[@x_trio_3_po333]

And sometimes in the game you encounter 2 Deathclaws at the same time. BTW I don't recall ever coming across a skull of a Deathclaw even though you do come across a (singular) skull of a 2 headed Brahmin cattle.

[@Erulin68]

The evolution of Lucy's "Oki Doki" over the series from bright-eyed and upbeat on her... euh... wedding night (?) over apprehensive when she leave to vault, past determined with a hint of disgust as she goes in to cut the guy's head off to dark and forboding in this last episode is a wonderful piece of writing and acting. Ella Purnell did an amazing job. Too bad we're gonna have to wait 2 year.

[@christophylax986]

I always enjoy these reactions. Its like sharing something you've seen or heard with a friend for the first time.💖

[@manofwarb]

What Hank did was particularly stupid and petty because Shady Sands was the result of a different vault experiment unexpectedly succeeding. The residents of Vault 15 formed different factions; three of which became raider gangs. The fourth faction went on to found Shady Sands and the NCR. So, Hank destroyed what a different vault had created.

[@happyslapsgiving5421]

I mean, the whole "there will be only us" speech was kinda stupid, since all the Vaults were separated and radically different... from the moment the idea was suggested in that very conference room, everybody knew that they would not be one happy family, but rather that they will just be new conflicting factions.

[@immortaljanus]

Possible that founding of Shady Sands was seen as going against Vault-Tec's mission. We don't know what their plan was if they succeeded in being the only ones surviving.

[@manofwarb]

@@immortaljanus that vault was given a GECK (a small-scale terraforming device) so the intention was for someone to eventually leave and use it to reclaim at least some of the wasteland. Only some vaults were given GECKs.

[@craignellist7277]

@@happyslapsgiving5421or she wasn’t actually talking about Vault-tec but the Enclave as I’m pretty sure that’s who the mysterious figure was overlooking the meeting

[@Lagartofero]

Loved your reaction. That city at the end, where Hank arrives, is New Vegas. You might have seen it in the end credits, where a "Welcome to New Vegas" sign is shown

[@Dark__Thoughts]

7:50 It's not a robot, that's Bud Askins. The subtitles actually name him "brain on a roomba" at some point. 9:35 And Betty. 18:15 The enclave, not the brotherhood. 20:17 Vault 31 is Bud's vault and for junior staff like Hank (remember he was new to the company at the time). His ex-wife is a senior executive. If you're interested, the show Silo has a similar premise of a society that lives within a bunker, with some great mystery stuff going on. It's kind of an underdog because it's on Apple's streaming service though.

[@Tantalus010]

Brotherhood Elder: We will start a new brotherhood with me as its head and _the likes of you_ as its sword. Sessis: Is that gonna be tempting for Maximus? Doesn't matter; the offer wasn't genuine. You can tell because the elder said, "the likes of you," instead of "you." That signals that the elder doesn't trust Max and probably intended to have him killed once the BoS had the cold fusion tech. Of course, now that Max is being hailed as the BoS hero who secured the tech, that might be more difficult. The thing I want to know is whether Max noticed the Elder's wording choice. He's not the brightest bulb in the box, but he's also been pretty good at reading people.

[@dethtongue945]

I like your reasoning, but I wouldn't be surprised if one of the 2nd season revelations is that the Knight who found Maximus is that twitchy old man. It would help explain (besides Maximus having a luck score of 10) how Maximus keeps getting promoted when logic would dictate why he should be executed.

[@rauminen4167]

@@dethtongue945 "Maximus keeps getting promoted when logic would " It could be that the old man was the knight, but I'm thinking it's more sinister. The Elder has been planning to take the cold fusion relic and it's power for himself from the moment they got the information. He thinks Max actually caused Dane's injury (which is why he says "such a display of loyalty" even when Dane confesses) and he also thinks he got rid of Titus to get the armor, so he thinks Max is just as corrupt as he is - willing to "take power". The moment Max says he's willing to sacrifice himself for the Brotherhood, that's when he decides he can use him - when he calls him "good boy". Which is why he is promoted.

[@Nalanae]

I love the synced up shock with Cooper when they revealed they dropped the bomb. Great reaction as always Sess!

[@Sessis]

Thank you Nala! Yeah I found that funny to when editing, my mind was so blown away in the moment I didn’t realize

[@coldflamebluedragon196]

The cold fusion code was the release date of the original Fallout game. Fallout is now my favorite TV series adaptation from a video game. That honor used to The Last of Us. I am beyond excited for what Season 2 has waiting for us

[@Dark__Thoughts]

As far as real life adaptations go for sure. Overall I'm not sure, Arcane is also incredible and imo better (coincidentally also featuring Ella Purnell), but it's also kinda not a faithful game adaptation since it just uses the background lore of LoL / its characters to create a story.

[@Oldmanmovies]

I think Maximus’s friend was trying to protect him at the end. It like “Games of Thrones”., doing what you have to do to survive.

[@Sessis]

I definitely think they did it to try be nice

[@clarkmichaels822]

The ideas of the vaults the executives bring up are mostly real vaults in the games. We can assume the ones that aren't in the games (yet) do exist too.

[@Sessis]

So when I play the games I’ll be able to find these vaults mentioned in the show? That be cool!

3:11 He’s keeping his promise. Lucy: “In exchange for the head, lend me the services of 5 or 6 of your knights to help me get my father.” Maximus LOVES(not even sure he knows the word for what he feels) Lucy and is harnessing the power of the BOS to rescue her. Bro is actually a mad man!

[@mattp6089]

That Ghoul fella that showed up right at the end there in that long coat and that hat must seemed like some sort of stranger to those Brotherhood fellas. Some sort of... Mysterious Stranger. Of course there is lore that the Mysterious Stranger is not Coop, but it was a nice nod to something from the games regardless. This was a really great show and I've greatly enjoyed your reactions to it. My biggest hope for Season 2, other than a Deathclaw fight? Norm goes on a Nerd Rage. Another thing from the games.

[@petercharters100]

It's a really brilliant idea /s. Replace all the factions with a number of experimental vaults each headed by a small number of extremely ambitious and greedy power-seeking executives. Yeah, right, they'll never start their own competing factions looking to dominate.

[@immortaljanus]

The House always wins...

[@Tijuanabill]

The Brotherhood is searching for the head, but they are not the ones who put up the bounty. They are searching with their own resources. It's never said who has put the bounty out, but presumably The Enclave is among them, since he escaped from them. Also, Coop mentions in the first episode, he knows what a bidding war looks like, so presumably there are many people willing to pay him for that head.

[@bvbxiong5791]

think someone said it was a bounty from the enclave. think it was the ghoul at philly.

[@Tijuanabill]

@@bvbxiong5791 The Brotherhood says "a denizen of The Enclave has escaped". The ghoul in Filly says, "A bounty came through last night, through all 6 agencies." The would be bounty hunters that dug up the ghoul say, "A bounty came down, a huge one....someone made a run, from The Enclave."

[@SVanTha]

@@Tijuanabill Why wouldn't the bounty be from the Enclave? The guy lived/worked there and stole the fusion thing from there and ran from there. It only makes sense the Enclave is mad at the guy, knew the value of what he took and put out a bounty to bring him back.

[@Tijuanabill]

@@SVanTha What are you talking about? Why are you agreeing with every word I said, but doing it in argument format? Not a single word of what you said, is in contradiction to what I said.

[@SVanTha]

@@Tijuanabill Because it's obvious where the bounty came from, but you keep tiptoe'ing around it, even suggesting the Enclave is only "among them" as if there could be anyone else who sent out the bounty.

[@FlamingoKicker]

Bud didn't seem to make very good managers if Vault 32 is an example. That Overseer didn't have enough Charisma to convince his people not to revolt.

[@CollideFan1]

Two main characters finding out the ones they love the most are nothing more than mass murdering POS. Lucy is dead inside now. Finding out the truth about her dad, she's been basically living a lie, and the second life she took was her mom. Its a mercy kill yes, but the mind has a way of guilt tripping us. Next season will be interesting to see what happens. The Ghouls family wouldn't be in Vault 31, that's for Buds Buds, low level people. Barb and Janey would be in a place for high executives, probably in New Vegas which is where Hank arrived at at the end.

[@dagiel9061]

Okay I'll give you some information , that skeleton is called a "death claw", It's an alpha predator. No, the brotherhood does not share technology, It hordes it.

[@craigreipold3931]

Cooper’s wife seemed to be running the meeting between the various corporate heads, will there be a twist where The Ghoul finds his family while at the same time discovering his wife is the boss? Season 1 was all about foreshadowing and misdirection, so maybe, maybe not, just my wild guess.

[@TitusOfPavis]

I enjoyed your Fallout reaction videos. I think I am most interested in seeing the dynamic between Lucy and Coop develop in season 2. They haven't travelled together since episodes 3 and 4. At that time, Lucy represented Vault-Tec to him and he took his hatred of Vault-Tec out on her by treating her very harshly. His attitude changed towards her with the "Golden Rule, motherfucker" scene where she left him the vials when he was probably expecting her to put a bullet in his head. He may have consciously helped her by taking the blame for wrecking the organ-harvesting business, instead of telling them it was her. Lucy is now travelling with someone who can actually tell her about the last 200 years. I wonder if she will learn she grew up watching his movies. Will she be the first person in a long time to call him by his name, Coop or Mr. Howard? Or will he be Ghoul?

[@Smokey7186]

They may as well release season 2 right now. Before the world ends

[@folcotook3049]

If you like fallout you might like the Twisted Metal series.. i wasnt a huge fan of the games but i loved he show.. the whole first season is mostly an intro to the characters with minor plot points to kead to the plot of season 2 which is now confirmed... Sweet Tooth was my favorite character... and has one of the best gory action sequences, on par with the raiders bit from episode 1 of fallout. I can strongly recommend Twisted Metal series, no game knowledge is required either, whereas for fallout some game knowledge is required because the tv show doesnt explain things like how in the world of fallout the transitor and hence microprocessor where never invented, despite then being decades ahead of us technologically in most ways (before "the end"), and most of they ways they aren't are related to that one major difference.

[@elvisibra]

I don't think BoS will cut electricity, especially now after is let out (would make them seen as bad by people they likely plan to recruit some), also 20 yrs ago, in the East in Washington, BoS put in service huge Water Purifier Plant providing clean water to entire East US, and regardless of all, they let it work (still works at time of these events here in the West in LA) while protecting (controling) it..

[@immortaljanus]

I see Season 2 turning into a siege. Everyone comes for the promise of unlimited energy, Brotherhood becomes increasingly surrounded so that their superior technology doesn't work against so many. Especially if they decide to use Caesar's Legion for example. But I have a feeling that Season 2 will focus on Lucy and Coop, Maximus' subplot might be brushed aside a bit. Hope not.

[@elvisibra]

@@immortaljanus I don't know. BoS has mini nukes (many), and nukes (not few, instead enough to start the Great War II), factions that matter (like the Enclave which kinda controls Vault Tec and are part of The Big Game) know that, thus, they do not mess with BoS directly like that, instead try different ways, hiding their locations from the BoS. As for others, they are too weak, BoS will fend them off rather easily..

[@TitusOfPavis]

The BoS has had different factions in the past. In Fallout 3, Elder Lyons' faction of the BoS were the ones who were helping people and I liked working with them. There was another faction of the BoS who were opposed to Lyons and claimed he was going against what the BoS mission was supposed to be. They were enemies. I liked a few of the BoS characters in Fallout 4, but overall I am with Sessis, I didn't like the BoS. I think only 1 of the dozens of characters I have created ever tried advancing in the BoS and I quit when they started giving me missions to go out and shake-down farmers for supplies. The TV show BoS seems to be closer to the Fallout 4 BoS than Elder Lyons' BoS faction.

[@elvisibra]

@@TitusOfPavis Point is that both New Leadership after Lyons and his "enemies" who now approved and re-united with BoS New Leadership, didn't shut down the Water Purifier Plant, instead (even if some of them might not put it to work themselves), they let it work. So yeah: No Cause For Alarm Citizens. 😅
