[@sword_of_light]

This series is a study in how to adapt a game to screen. The casting is nothing short of perfect, and they recreate enough stuff from the games to appease the fanbase, but the key element is tone. That's remarkable, because the tone of the games are grim, tragic, and brutal. And wacky, with sly, sarcastic humor. And getting that mix right was the real miracle of this show

[@user-uu9vh4zg5v]

Tone: And the right music, at the right time.

[@asneakychicken322]

It's also good that they leaned into the fact that the franchise/universe is ripe for anthologies, stories set in the same universe but being mostly separate from each other apart from factions etc. The fact that it's all original characters, and a somewhat new story (besides using the trope of leaving the vault chasing after a missing family member) means it's fresh for fans of the series, and the writers have more creative freedom, the problem with a lot of tv adaptations is when they try to stick to the source material and just straight up adapt the story of it, they rarely do it justice and it just annoys everyone, I think the only exception would be the Last of Us, but they had the fortune of the game being more structured like a show/movie than vice versa already. Plus I just love seeing all the pre-war stuff which outside of Fallout 4 is referential only., and yeah they nailed the wacky humour contrasted with the bleakness really well.

[@soulstice94]

Lucy putting her mom out of her misery, is a really good way of showing us she did learn from Cooper specifically when he put his ghoul acquaintance down in the earlier episodes and he was kind of right, that he's just her but given time, but only kind of.

[@timgreenwald1043]

The last altruistic people in the Brotherhood of Steel was Elder Lyons and his daughter Sarah, and they helped bring clean water to the Washington DC wasteland. But after they died, the remaining brotherhood members decided they didn't want to escort water caravans to help wastelanders, and they went back to collecting and hoarding technology. This happened between 2277 - 2287 (20 - 10 years prior to the show). If Maximus is going to try and change the brotherhood from the inside, it's going to be an uphill battle.

I think the key aspect of Maximus moving forward is why he joined the Brotherhood. The question is if he views the people who hurt him as narrowly Hank, or more broadly VaultTec. If the latter and if VaultTec plans to recolonize the surface in a couple of decades I think a BoS vs VaultTec war is on the horizon

[@eqgilethan]

When you have a moment, now that you've seen the full season, search KZbin for, 'Every "Okey Dokey" in Fallout'. It's a short that shows the 5 times Lucy uttered this phrase. It shows the range of emotion throughout the show, and is quite simply a tiny sampling of the level of writing and acting in this series, in one silly little phrase. That last 'okey dokey' is so much more impactful and seeing all of them back to back drives that home. I can not wait for the 2nd season!

[@p-forest]

This show is definitely rewatchable, and you'll likely catch a bunch of little things that will have a different meaning on a rewatch, if you didn't notice the 1st time. A few examples, the 'Don't Lose Your Head!" poster that's repeatedly shown in the 1st ep; the shop keeper telling Lucy she didn't belong up there because she was so clean and still had all 10 fingers; Hilzig telling he she'd have to adapt to live on the surface, but if she did, would she still want the same things (rescuing her father); Lucy saying it would break her dad's heart if she sacrificed a whole community to save him

Yeah, it was only when rewatching it with my father that I realised that Cooper says the "We Cowpokes" line to his daughter (kind of gets overshadowed by the thumb bit at the time), which he says to the Outlaws as the Ghoul 219 years later. And equally the foreshadowing of Thadeus' hatred of Ghouls, only to become one. The writing is pretty incredible.

[@chrism7395]

Cooper in the past tells the power armour executive about the faults in the armour that cost lives in Anchorage, he then exploits that weakness in the last episode.

[@crazyguy_1233]

Those Vault suggestions in that meeting did happen as actual Vault tests. In the games you can find the ruins of all of those Vaults. As for the bombs surprisingly Vault Tec did not drop the bomb first. People who have watched the show only wouldn't know this but in the games you see that Vault Tec and its associates were caught completely off guard when the bombs dropped. Many Vaults were still unfinished and some Vault Tec staff did not make it to their Vaults. Shady Sands was a Vault community created by the people from Vault 15. The NCR was essentially a Vault Tec community. Vault Tec's plan to create the best society resulted in the NCR. The NCR was a democracy. They had laws in their society. They had their own economy. They had their own army. They had trains and power stations. The NCR was an actual government and it was successful. Hank destroyed Shady Sands a Vault society home to the government Vault Tec wanted to create. Hank ended up ruining Vault Tec's end goal plan due to his ignorance. In the last shot that is the city of Las Vegas. The famous sign is revealed in an after credits scene. The city was renamed New Vegas and is the only city that avoided being bombed because Mr House CEO of Robco set up a defense system to protect the strip. He was at the meeting with Vault Tec.

[@Zappina]

To be fair, nope. It was suggested in the game(fallout 3 i think) that Vault Tek dropped the bomb first, not the chinese. However its a sheer contrast to the Black Isle games, where the Enclave(which was the shadow organisation of the government) was suggested as a culprit. If you think Hank did harm Vault Tek's plan, that is a no. Vault Tek plan was to outlast everyone and built the perfect management so they can alone rebuild the world. That means they need to outlast or destroy any not planned society and Moldaver was not a Vault Tek employee and Vault 15 was not the vault which suppose to rebuild the surface. It wasnt even a control vault like Vault 13. They already had a government and a successful republic without any Vault Tek representative to lead them. Vault 31 was supposed to build the perfect society, thats why the reclamation day was the main purpose of the vault and had no experience going on there. So Hank did everything right based on VaultTek's plan. New Vegas although was part of the plan, still it doesnt supposed to be the city to form a country wide governing system and House did stick to the plan.

[@jackson857]

Addie just casually predicting the reveals.

[@folcotook3049]

Some reference about Shady Sands if you're interested. It's a settlement seen in both Fallout 1 and 2. In 1, it's a small village, usually the first place a player encounters after leaving Vault 13. In 2, it has started to grow and prosper and is now the nucleus of the New California Republic. It's not seen in Fallout: New Vegas, but is referenced as the NCR is one of the major factions in the game.

I just noticed a little bit of inflection in a speech watching this time that kind of confirms something that first occurred to me watching the scene of Rose greeting Muldaver. Muldaver described Rose as "Kind, loving...curious." The slight pause and the look on her face when she said that kind of makes you think, considering how Muldaver was smiling at Rose and little Lucy in the flashback and when Muldaver activated the cold fusion, plus the way she said, "Rose, we did it" (and keeping Rose alive all those years). Was the "curiosity" that she mentioned partially of the "bi" kind? It would add even more to Hank's motivation (and add more meaning to Muldaver's line "That's how Vault Tec deals with competition").

Watching the first episode after this episode makes the opening scene harder to watch. Cooper knows who is responsible for the bombs.

[@x_trio_3_po333]

The 1st episode showed that Cooper Howard was divorced at that time. There was a comment of his needing to work to pay for his "Alimony" obligations. This last episode shows why he was divorced. Talk about irreconcilable differences! I had hoped that this episode would show the fate of Cooper's daughter. But that will obviously be revealed in S02. There is still the question of who actually dropped the bombs. Was it Vault-Tec? Or America's enemies? The fact that Cooper's daughter was not in any Vault before the bombs came reveals 2 things. Either Vault-Tec did not drop the bombs. Or that they did but Cooper's ex-wife did not have any control or foreknowledge of when the bombing would precisely occur. Because she obviously would not allow her daughter to be outside and with Cooper during the bombing. S02 will likely answer the questions regarding Cooper's ex-wife and daughter. (side note: In over 200 years Cooper really hasn't discovered the answer yet? Hopefully S02 will also answer that mystery of why it has taken so long).

[@rhonafenwick5643]

_In over 200 years Cooper really hasn't discovered the answer yet?_ The very first episode shows he was captured at least 30 years earlier by someone called Dom Pedro, and spent virtually all that time buried alive, with only brief phases of intermittent torture and mutilation in between (probably to harvest his organs). And if ghouls are routinely imprisoned in some places for the purposes of organ harvest - the Super Duper Mart where Lucy encounters Snip-Snip comes to mind - Cooper may well have been captured and imprisoned in organ farms multiple times over the years. He definitely hasn't been able to spend the whole 200 years roaming for his answer. In any case, though, I'm with you in wanting to see more of what happened to him over those two centuries, as well as who Dom Pedro is :)

LOL Addie, you're the FIRST reactor to this episode who has brought up Who Let the Dogs Out! Too funny . . .

[@nyghtmoon]

Some things to think about. 1. I think Hank was equally upset because Moldaver and Rose were in a relationship. Moldaver wouldn't have kept ghoul Rose around if they didn't have a tighter bond than friendship. Where was Moldaver when Shady Sands was attacked? 2. Did Vault-Tec actually drop the bomb? Would Hank's wife risk her daughter by setting off an apocalypse without her being safe? Their willingness to set off bombs doesn't mean they did. 3. How was Shady Sands destroyed? Nuclear weapons, even in Fallout, explode above a city, not at ground level. To leave a huge crater, the bomb would have to be carried somehow to Shady Sands and secretly because Shady Sands was the capitol of the NCR. They had a large population and soldiers. Where would Hank get a nuclear bomb big enough? I am sure he did something but probably not dropping a bomb. For next season I hope you do one episode per show. There were so many things I wanted to see your reaction to but were skipped.

[@illshouyu]

I don't know anything about Fallout lore, but there is certainly going to be a twist there. I doubt it will be as simple as Hank being outright bad. Hank could very well have known about an unknown faction such as the original US government/military and missing president, potentially foreshadowed in episode one. If Vault-Tec really had been tasked by the government, perhaps those are the individuals who were overlooking the meeting and prompting Barbara. It's possible that Hank really was just trying to get his wife and kids away from a significant emerging power that would challenge the authority of government. Plus, there's no way Barbara would've been happy about nuking everything while her daughter was at a party with Cooper, so it probably wasn't V-T.

[@user-uu9vh4zg5v]

Agree on all counts, especially the one episode per upload idea. 🚫🚀Nukes don't need a missile or a plane to drop them. Drive one in on a truck, disguised as something else, and you get a surface detonation and a crater. Where did Hank get the nuke? How did he deliver it? Does Vault-Tec have more? Stay tuned.

[@rhonafenwick5643]

@@michaelhoward142 Frankly, I'm completely on the other side of the fence: the franchise's lore of radiation exposure turning people into ghouls strikes me as the only glaringly unscientific aspect of what is otherwise pretty hard sci-fi. The main plot line of the very first _Fallout_ game includes major elements of biowarfare and genetic manipulation for the purposes of inducing resistance to radiation (also touched on in the show), and the files you find in the Glow in that game contain a lot of material clearly written by a game writer who understood a lot about biology. For that reason, it seems weird that at the same time they'd be happy to attribute ghoulification to nothing more than radiation exposure. In any case, I'd definitely like to see Thaddeus be incorporated into a richer exploration of what turns people into ghouls in future series, and a biochemical explanation (as seen in the show) makes way more sense

He said he'd sell potions to regrow an entire foot. 27:15 She became a different animal altogether. 34:15 Time for Arcane & Silo, which both get their second season this year too. :) Edit: Still missing The Boys (+ Gen V between season 3 & the soon releasing season 4) too. Damn.

I was a bit disappointed that my major burning questions, how did Moldaver survive and what happened to Coop and his daughter, weren't answered. I hope we'll eventually get an answer to both. But now I'm fully hyped up for the second season.

[@Scyth0r]

They imply how Moldaver survived in the end credits (look at the billboards). Chances are good his family is in a 'management vault', probably in Vegas, and they'll thaw them out to use against the Ghoul, once Hank lets them know he's still out there. Who is 'they'? Fallout fans have a pretty good idea, especially with who was giving Barb instructions in the meeting.

[@GeraldH-ln4dv]

@@Scyth0r By survive, I meant how did she survive the original bombing. There is an implied connection with Vault-Tec, since they bought her company researching cold fusion. But she is obviously very against them. She is also somehow connected to the Enclave, via her association with Wilzig. She had to have been in a cryo facility somewhere. But maybe it was a third option we know nothing about yet.

I pretty sure Maximus is built into a villain. The first step was to wish that something bad would happen to his friend so that he would become a squire. 2. His desire is to hurt the people who hurt him. 3. He watches someone die and doesn't help. 4. Attempts at good deeds often go wrong. 5. He is a liar and lies again and again for his own benefit. 6. He loves power and feels unworthy without his suit. 7. Almost without hesitation, he wants to kill his squire, even though he didn't even say clearly that he would betray him. 8. He is willing to extinguish an entire community for his energy core. The only reason he doesn't is Lucy. And Lucy first had to persuade him not to do it. Even when she explains to him the consequences if he keeps the core, he says no. Only when Luzy says that her father wouldn't want that does he give the core back for her love and not because he has a guilty conscience. 9. The only good influence Maximus had is Lucy and the two are now separated again and he gets power in a toxic environment with bad influence. 10. He is not particularly clever and easily manipulated, easily influenced. 11. Maximus has now found out that his home was destroyed by this corporation, Lucy's father. Lucy didn't have a chance to talk to him anymore and all Maximus knows is that Lucy and her dad are both gone. So he can assume that Lucy has chosen her father's side. I often see borrowings from "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" Western. Lucy is the Good Maximus is the Bad Ghul is the Ugly. Even if it looks like Cooper's wife is evil so far, I don't believe that. If you paid attention, she looked at an elevated position to a person standing in the dark at the beginning of the meeting. I think this person is the big bad and Cooper's wife is just saying what she's supposed to do on his behalf. I think Cooper's wife learned relatively early where the company wanted to go with its plans and that it was inevitable. So she plays along because, as she said herself, she would do anything to protect her family. At no point did she say that she wanted to change the world and she was very anxious in the conversation with Cooper.

Critical logic errors: 6. "He loves power and feels unworthy without his suit." - Maximus was bullied the instant he joined the brotherhood. He has felt powerless, thus, was afraid to be without the suit. 7. "...he wants to [end] his squire, even though he didn't even say clearly that he would betray him." - Thaddeus immediately rejected Maximus, when told the truth. Thaddeus was the instigator and participant in bullying Maximus. 9. "The only good influence Maximus had is Lucy...and he gets power in a toxic environment with bad influence." - Dane was Maximus' _only_ good influence in an environment of constant bullying. Dane saved him, with the fake head, and in the observatory, and ensured Maximus' promotion, and hero status. Dane will remain a positive, cautionary influence. 11. "...he can assume that Lucy has chosen her father's side." - Maximus saw Lucy's disgust for her father, and she told him of her father's evil. Maximus did not see the Ghoul enter. Thus, Maximus will assume that Hank forced her to leave with him, and he will want to find and rescue her in Season 2. Maximus is an immature, developing character, who had minimal high character role models to this point in the story. His arc has been written intentionally to be uncertain. He has comically failed upwards. Lucy has slowly taught him to begin a journey of trust and loyalty. His outcome is undetermined. Lucy was in a pristine, protected, trusting environment where she was inundated with righteous management propaganda until Muldaver appeared. She has comically survived the unsurvivable wasteland. Her arc is the opposite of Maximus'; learning to _mis_ -trust, learning violence to survive, with The Ghoul as her mentor. Now she has learned what Evil _really_ looks like, with betrayal beyond comprehension. She has become the "different animal altogether" that Wilzig cautioned her about. The Ghoul warned Lucy as well, "Oh, I'm you sweetie. Just give it a little time." He was betrayed to his core by Barb. Now Lucy has learned of her father's crimes against humanity, her mother, and her and her brother. But she has a stronger moral core than Coop had. "I may end up looking like you, but I will never _be_ like you." Maximus is driven by fear, and love. The Ghoul is driven by love, and vengeance. Lucy is driven by love, and justice. Vault-Tec, and their partner Kⱥppitⱥlizts, are driven by greed, and the lust for power. As IRL, _they_ are the villains. 🤯

@@user-uu9vh4zg5v You have not written anything that contradicts what I have written and certainly not critical points. Well, I forgot his friend as a good friend. By the way, the same friend Maximus wished something bad would happen to him. And when that happened, he was already a good friend. But apparently probably without influence on the good Maximus. Tadeus did not say a syllable that he would betray Maximus. He said "that's the brotherhood, they'll find out for sure." That's all he said, after that Maximus immediately decided to kill him. Simply because he ASSUMES that Tadeus will be the reason. The next point is also sufficiently justified by me and easy to understand. Maybe not for you. I also didn't say that he has to think that Maximus must be angry with Lucy. I said he CAN ASSUME that Lucy chose the man who destroyed his homeland. That can break his heart. And as already said and obviously Maximus is not the brightest. Simple thoughts for simple people. He saw that Lucy was sad, yes and she apologized to him. It didn't come to anything more and in the end she had disappeared with her dad without him. I think I don't need to comment on the rest. Everything is written in my comment. And assumptions don't mean that it will happen that way. It's quite simply a possibility. And you don't want to see these foundationally good, justified POSSIBILITIES. This makes you ignorant.

Unlike me, however, you try to sell your predictions as facts. Which is ridiculous. Simply because you are not in the shoes of the writers. What you are trying to do now is to make you a victim of a non-existent insult, to make me a bad guy in order to give more weight to your assumptions. All because you can't stand clear language?

The majority of the motivation was actually due to expanding wars (energy shortages) and they wanted to end all wars by destroying everything except themselves and profit was used to get the investors involved ...the $$ motivation was the communists assertion In the game the reason was the energy war expaned to nuclear war initiated by the communists... also the New Cal. Republic was no better than the rest of the factions (if i recal been awhile) this show for the time being made them the "good guys" but that can change which is one thing the game did well was paint images of them then subverting your expectation
