[@shadowfragment]

@@karmehed Gifted and Skilled is not a great combination. You're basically using opposite traits to cancel eachother out. One or the other, but not both. Good Natured is a perfect fit for her character, definitely agree on that one.. I think you're taking her too literally when she says she 'dabbled' in riflery. She was being modest. In the video of her shooting at the target she is shown to be nearly perfect in her marksmanship.

[@karmehed]

​@@shadowfragment I do agree that a gifted/Skilled is not a great combo in the game, however Gifted fits perfectly with the breeding plan which we learn more about later......... And while it is definitely possible that she has Small Guns, she is also in the pipe fitters club or what ever she calls it, and she does grappling and fencing so it is really a toss up imo.

Idk with this one. I think the ones that are fans of it have by far been a lot more fun to watch than the ones that don’t know anything about the games. (Usually it’s the other way around.) It’s mostly because the ones that are new to the series truly don’t notice how much work has been put into it, all the references and tiniest of details fly right over their head. It just looks like good set design and nothing else. They kind of just blink without any reaction, whereas the fan has an aneurysm and you can watch them noticing everything as their mind is blown by *finally* having a good video game adaptation. Watching them see something come to life. Like someone noticing a laser rifle or what’s under the blanket and jumping in their seat whereas the newbie goes, huh, guess it’s like some science place.

The showrunner and director is Jonathan Nolan, Chris Nolan's brother. He is a hardcore Fallout fan. He has been playing Fallout since 2008. The woman who plays Lucy is a fan too. Walton isn't, but he said his son freaked out when he heard Dad had been offered Fallout. The f/x team are fans too. Bethesda gave them free reign to make the powersuits however they wanted. They instead created two actual working power suits that look just like the game's suits. When Bethesda saw them, they said oh wow, you're doing the game.

So a bit of background, this takes place in an alternate timeline where the culture of the 1950s and 60s persisted and the year the opening scene takes place in is 2077 where nuclear energy gained more use as oil at this point was extremely rare. And because the culture of the 50s and 60s persisted we never stopped making nuclear weapons, so there were a lot more being used in the nuclear war of this timeline. The lore of fallout is really fascinating and I highly recommend checking it out.

Everything was run on fusion cores or fusion cells. As for the weapons there were many payloads, from ICBM to small tactical. Mini nukes were relatively short addition to the mix before the fall. If I am not mistaken they were deployed and used in Anchorage Alaska, to aid in pushing out the Chinese invasion, along the T-51 PA that, according to F4 found lore, was developed alongside each other.

"...humans at either their best or their worst" is a perfect description of this entire show.

[@ArmouredPhalanx]

So a bit of non-spoiler-y background information that doesn't really get explained in the show: The Fallout world basically diverges from ours in the 1940s. Transistor-based technology (specifically micro-transistors, the things that make computers and any compact advanced electronics possible) is never invented. This is why everything is big and chunky and looks like it was designed in the 50s. Instead nuclear technology advances rapidly and becomes part of many everyday household items (the cars, for example, are all nuclear powered). This is why everything has a 1950s retro sci-fi look (and because it evokes that weird 1950s vintage optimism mixed with the ever present threat of nuclear war). Lucy is modelled on a prototypical player character from the franchise. In many of the games you start out as a vault dweller who has to venture to the surface for one plot contrivance or another (in the very first game it was because the water purification system was broken and you had to go find a part, so the show did a bit of a nod to that). The montage of her explaining her skills is kind of like the character setup where you choose your stats and skills. The Brotherhood of Steel is a faction that was born out of remnants of the US military based around a pseudo-religious, militaristic tech cult. That's probably kind of obvious given their organization, but there is a direct connection back to the pre-war era, and most of their tech is ex-military from that era, just salvaged and maintained. Depending on the game/location (the games are set in several different locations around the US, with the originals set on the west coast, and the newer games on the east coast, and New Vegas set in, well, Vegas) they can range from fascistic antagonists to chivalric allies depending on the chapter. Much like the medieval knights they're based on. The other big faction to get a mention in this episode was The Enclave. Where the BoS are remnants of the US military, The Enclave are the remnants of the US government along with anyone else they deemed worthy of surviving the apocalypse - the best and brightest of science and industry. They're a tad... elitist, as you can probably imagine, looking down on most of the other survivors, and preferring to interact and manipulate events from the shadows or a distance. Unlike the BoS who focus on collecting and preserving old world tech, The Enclave continued to innovate and advance. Stimpaks, the thing Lucy injects herself with, are the main healing item in the game. So you'll see a bit of video game logic here where a shot will cure any basic wound. And unlike a bunch of other video game adaptations, this show is actually considered canon within the same world as the games. So that's just kinda neat.

[@ryank5424]

That scene when the bombs drop where that guy is begging his friend to let and his kid in the shelter just sticks in my head. He's knocked out and his kid has no idea what to do.

Since they don't directly say it in the show, it's not a spoiler to tell you the bombs dropped in the year 2077. It's just an alternate history where the focus on nuclear war led to more innovations in nuclear tech, but semiconductor tech (i.e. transistors, and what we consider modern electronics) was never invented. So it's a mix of futuristic tech and 1950s aesthetics and components. Basically, it's what people in the 50s thought the future would look like.

Okay… explaining the years. Fallout as a setting is the post-apocalypse of a 1950s retro future… which is to say ‘the future as imagined by the culture of the past’. Specifically, that first scene has you looking at a vision of the nuclear-powered utopia as the people of the 1950s imagined it, with home service robots, miracle medicine, cars powered by nuclear fuel cells, and conspicuous consumption Cold War capitalism. You might note that you won’t see much in the way of cell phones or small electronics, because folks in the 1950s didn’t know that the microprocessor was going to be a thing, so computers are still operating on transistors and vacuum tubes. In terms of a calendar reference, the bombs dropped in 2077. If you were looking at history books from the setting, they’d be familiar up until just around the end of World War 2.

[@sergioaccioly5219]

I already liked this show a lot. With this information, it just hit out of the scales in enjoyment. Lucy and Jinx in the same room... What a story it'd be.

[@mikejohnson1068]

I have been a Fallout fan since the very first game rolled how ever many years ago. This show is SO spot on with practically EVERYTHING! The shape of the TV...the commercial for sugar bombs cereal (a food item in the games) Grognak the barbarian playing on the TV (found in the games as a comic book)... and that's just the first 3 minutes! There are so many Easter eggs and references that I honestly couldn't process them all on the first watch. They did a great job on this show...your gonna love it!

[@nimz8521]

I loved that they have the Junk Jet. That weird canon that shoots whatever junk you have in your inventory.

[@mikejohnson1068]

@@nimz8521 EXACTLY!

[@oldnewbgaming]

So much detail in this show. I love it.

[@erikhanson1162]

One of the reasons that I love this series is that it plays well to audience members regardless of whether they're familiar with the game or not. Really great storytelling.

[@shamgar1980]

The thing on their wrists is their “Pip-boy”. In the game that is how you access all your game data. Your map, your missions, inventory, health, it’s even used as a flashlight. The TV show representation is VERY accurate to the game. I was very impressed. “I don’t know if they’re good or bad, but I like them!” Yep, that’s the Brotherhood of Steel! 😂 “The Enclave” was one of the main factions in Fallout 3. They were born out of the remnants of the United States Government. Fallout 3 was based around Washington DC and they were based out of an underground facility called Raven Rock, which is based on a real place called Raven Rock.

[@hexalby]

The Enclave was also in Fallout 2 before FO3 as the main antagonist, and technically in New Vegas too, although only in a small and very missable side quest.

[@oldnewbgaming]

Love the pip boy in the show.

[@Trepanation21]

@@hexalby Yep. Canonically, the Enclave is the lineage of politicians and paramilitary industrial VIPs. The first time you ever see them in the Fallout universe is in Fallout 2: >> _Unwilling to cohabitate with wastelanders, the West Coast Enclave focused its research efforts on "cleansing the mutants" in order for "true humans, and democracy, to be safe."_

So glad you're doing this series! Walton Goggins is a scene stealer in this, and I can't wait for this amazing adventure to continue!

[@nickthompson6390]

Lucy's actress = Jinx's voice actress, exceptional talent.

[@zacharyliles8657]

“I don’t know if they’re good or bad but I like them” and you officially get Fallout now 😂💙

[@zbennalley]

That first scene now has so much more context and emotion for me after I completed the season.

[@johnnygonzalez1344]

They really nailed the tone, look and feel of the Fallout world with this show. From the use of stimpaks, to Max carrying the oversized duffle bag (over burdened), to the vault decor, to Lucy going over her "S.P.E.C.I.A.L." stats, etc.

[@codasinger5298]

the "Amish production of The Count of Monte Cristo" line is so fucking funny, you have no idea

[@joshscott6914]

Haha, I kept rewinding to see the recognition on your face when Lucy said "cousin stuff."

[@Vipre-]

The wrist devices actually are made with Apple iPhones for screens so you weren't far off with that Apple Watch comment. "Lucy" says she broke about four of the wrist props during filming because she talks with her hands and they'd fly off.

[@nvcn86]

there's an android app, too ;)

[@shuboy05]

I was wondering what was in the Pip Boy prop! Never would have guessed they had working screens but i suppose it’s easier than adding the screen in post.

[@davidbodor1762]

The show takes place after the games and while there's references to items and places and characters from the games the story is completely new and original, but very much in the spirit of the games.

[@MrReedSL]

Just a quick shoutout to you (and your wonderful editors)--ATLA, BSG, and now Fallout, it's been such a pleasure to vicariously watch these great shows for the first time again.

[@niefali]

There is also the new "3 body problem" show based on the Tri Solaris novels. Which I can recommend if you are into Sci fi and speculative science. It does a good job at adapting the first book, changed the mostly Chinese cast a bit and added some tweaks. The starting plot: Scientist around the world begin to kill themselfes because their experiments dont make any sense anymore...

[@mikejohnson1068]

"This is brutal!" This is Fallout!😂 excellent adaptation of the source material...

[@Metzwerg74]

"Beware of flying eyeballs"....

[@SagaciousHamster]

So glad you took on this show. Your Expanse reactions were must-see for me. And yes, there is more coming of the vault 33 survivors, including fork-in-the-eye woman, Stephanie Harper.

[@stephendavis5481]

Yes!! Love to see love for Walton. He's amazing is everything I've ever seen. One of those supporting actors that is a total chameleon and steals the show nearly every time.

[@senseimarvin454]

I have watched a bunch of reactions to this, it seems nobody has mentioned or noticed (or is it just me) that the introduction of the three characters is a homage to "The Good, The Bad and the Ugly". Anyhow, like watching your reactions, especially liked the Galactica reactions, I think youre gonna love Fallout.

[@gamingeagle19]

So the show at the beginning takes place in 2077. It's a retro future. 50's aesthetic but with some super advanced tech like the robot servants you saw. Also why all the songs are old as well. It's pretty sweet world honestly.

[@clarkmichaels822]

Pretty sweet if you´re a straight white middle-class conservative man, just like in the real 1950s. The universe is (partially) a satire on that 50s culture after all.

[@gamingeagle19]

@clarkmichaels822 as far as I'm aware this world doesn't have the racism that our own 50's had.

[@ObsessiveSting]

@@gamingeagle19 It does even in prewar times of the setting but not the same way as our world in every regard as it seems to be mostly racism in two ways. Partially there was minor racism in the class structure to a degree but not overt as upper class discriminated against lower class more just because of power imbalance than just because of skin color though it did happen. It was more individuals or small groups rather than wide or open societal racism so it usually fell under the radar. Prewar larger scale societal racism related to skin color was more or less more often based on if you come from a country suspected of being communist or the enemy and the mark of the foreigner or a drain on real American's. So it was mostly against Chinese American's or those with clear communist country heritage. It wasn't perfect but there certainly seemed to be less. Plenty of patriarchal sexism in the workplace and some implied homophobia. But again this mostly is in post war terminals and notes and such and nearly no racism is found in those entries that I know of.

[@grubinthe1st549]

Ok pineapple watch definitely made me laugh!

[@DavidHunter]

It’s been a pleasure watching BG again with you, and this show exceeded any expectations I could have had. I’m not even a huge fan of the games but they’ve hit just the right notes. And it gets more intriguing as it goes on. Excellent characters too. Enjoy!

[@riles6569]

28:00 The thing that shoots the guy is a small cannon called a “Junk Jet”. It uses anything labeled as “junk” in the game as ammunition. So pool balls, eating utensils, and like in the scene, doll parts. The best and funniest way to use one is to collect teddy bears and use them as ammo to take out anything you come against.

@@Dark__Thoughts Sounds like he's never played the games before. Or paid attention to the show for that matter, lol.

[@Dark__Thoughts]

@@exploringandstargazing I said the same and they said they played Fallout 3. I replied that it is weird how he went through the game without noticing the gore. He then argued that the show focuses more on gore than the story, "that's all". Someone else chimed in and said the show shouldn't have focused so much on gore because it is a TV show, not a game, to which I replied "image a live action adaptation of Dead Space, but they remove all the gore". I honestly don't understand those people. It's literally part of the franchise, just like the humor, and removing it would just piss off the fans as it would remove part of the core of what this franchise is.

It's a weird combo to be sure, but I can't get enough of it. Cheers from the middle of Canada!

Fun fact: Lucy is Jinx’s voice actor in arcane!

[@Roberto-ut6bc]

Never noticed before, but the "shadow" that your figures make with the blue light looks really cool

[@matthewhearn9910]

The actor who plays Lucy’s dad is Kyle MacLachlan, who is best known for his work with director David Lynch on the show Twin Peaks (1990-1991, 2017) and the movies Blue Velvet (1986) and Dune (1984) where he played the same role Timothy Chalamet plays in the new movies by Denis Villeneuve. All are highly recommended watches - the original Dune maybe around the time you react to the new one once it’s more widely available on streaming, but the other two are much better titles. And deeply, deeply weird.

[@lt_payton2061]

ive seen a lot of reactions and one thing i can say i notice is the reminder on everyone face when all the bombs are dropping and the follow up of "my worst nightmare", especially knowing that humanity at the moment is as close as ever to having this situation become an actual reality.

[@rodentnolastname6612]

"flip 'em the bird as you're flying by..." Funny enough, those flying machines are called "Vertibirds" as they are VTOL, Vertical Take Off and Landing

[@Matuse]

Angela: I'm here for the post-apocalypse! [Sees Apocalypse] NOT LIKE THAT!

[@morphman86]

Walton Goggins plays an amalgamation of three semi-characters from the games. The Ghoul is a recurring character that often goes under a different name in each game, but is essentially the same person roaming from town to town in the wasteland. The Actor was the model for Vault Boy, the iconic character often depicted with his thumb up that acts as a mascot for the VaultTec corporation. The Mysterious Stranger is a character dressed in black with a cowboy hat that sometimes show up to "steal" a kill from the player, and whenever he shows up, the music you hear when The Ghoul is on screen plays. Of course, none of this affects the game, like nothing in the games affect the show. They are both in their own self-contained canons that could (at this point) be integrated or separated depending on how the audience feels about it. In my head canon, the character is all three.

[@Bnut619]

I love the Star Wars painting/poster in the background 👌🏻

[@JohnyAngelo]

I played all those Fallout games and I can tell you this has its heart in it. It has the right horror-satire vibes and it's carefully crafted to fit with the games's lore and time line. It's good for people who haven't played games but at the same time it has tons of little details and easter eggs for us Fallout fans. Enjoy the ride.

[@Killerwale-hk4wy]

It does really nail down the feeling of fallout, it's dark, very dark, but in a way also quite whimsickal, depending on your mindset.

Edit: I also realized you literally just finished off Battlestar Galactica, which also started with robots and a nuclear holocaust... you got a theme going now, lol.
