@@caffeinedelusionsmore than likely the gross Michel, as the Cavendish is going extinct, and the same hypercapitalism that causes the shortcuts that causes Panama disease also afflict the world of fallout, arguably it would be even moreso in the fallout universe... and since their apocalypse happens 53 years from now, it would have had even more time decimate than the Cavendish population.
Cooper's movie poster of 'A Man and His Dog' has to be a nod to the 1975 film 'A Boy and His Dog'. It's about a teenager and his telepathic dog that are roaming a post apocalyptic Earth and comes across an underground vault of people.
With some things, yeah, but elsewhere that’s not true, he was smart enough earlier to stand up to Knight Titus’ order to go further into the cave to investigate without armour.
He was saved as a child, and he stayed a child. Because nobody of the brotherhood taught him ever anything. If you grow up like this, you are more worse.
Here's something fun - The moment when Lucy unfurls the New California Republic flag is also when this show finally lets us hear the proper Fallout theme music in all its glory. As much as I'd been enjoying the score and soundtrack for the show, I'd also been waiting for it the whole show and it was plenty satisfying.
Yup. First time I saw this, when I got to that moment I, without thinking, absolutely *shouted* "Ahahahahahahaha!!! YYYEEESSS!!" and my wife had to come running in from the other room to find out wtf was going on.
The "President" was named Sorrel Booker, a fat man wearing a white suit, with a white bowtie. Boss Hogg, in the Dukes of Hazzard TV show, the corrupt leader of Hazzard County, a fat man wearing a white suit, with a white bowtie. BTW, the actor that played Boss Hogg was, Sorrell Booke.
The difference in how people approach Maximus and The Ghoul's actions is an insightful reminder that being cool, confident and charismatic will let you be forgiven for almost anything. The most harsh ethical and moral judgements are reserved for those who vacilitate and lack confidence.
I mean, I think there are often different expectations between heroes, anti-heroes, and villains- Maximus is set up as a hero who is failing to be what he's supposed to be, The Ghoul seems to be set up as a villain (or, at best, an anti-hero) which means the rare times he does something good, it's him exceeding what people expect from him.
Reminds me of the double standards between Omni-Man and Homelander. Both are objectively terrible people, but they will lavish all manner of justifications for his behavior on Homelander despite him being the most self-serving bastard and rapist in that verse. Meanwhile they will tear hard into Omni-Man when at the very least he believes/believed (I haven’t watched season 2) that he and his people have been saving the Universe one civilization at a time.

I love the scene with the Ghoul and the "President". He took golden rule to heart there a moment owning up to destroying the super duper mart, when it was actually Lucy. He lied to protect her. (It was his fault she was in there tho) 😅
I just assumed he lied because they were not going to believe him anyway. They found him sleeping peacefully surrounded by a stash of drugs and the freshly dead bodies of the stash's former owners. The sheriffs didn't seem like the types to presume innocence.

Reminder about the history of Shady Sands. In the first game, Shady Sands was the first major quest hub you encounter after leaving the vault. It is a tiny town on the verge of collapse. As you dig around, you find out that it is populated by what's left of Vault 15 (your character is from Vault 13). In the second game, you find that the residents of Shady Sands were deeply affected by the stranger who saved them, so they founded the New California Republic, of which Shady Sands was the capital. By the third game, the New California Republic was one of the largest, most powerful factions on the West coast, but as they got bigger, they started to develop a corruption problem. They were still arguably the least bad major faction operating on the West Coast.
Great summary. Worth mentioning that some 20 or 15 years before the show takes place, the New California Republic tried to expand towards the East, heading into Nevada, but by then the corruption problem had gotten so bad it was basically consensus that they lacked the resources, manpower, and logistical capabilities for that campaign to be successful. Some may even say it was a desperation move, and what became of it is unknown.
it wasn't fish they were breeding, those were gulpers(the big mouthed thing with fingers in it's mouth). since you were so curious about floor 12 once you're done with the series you could look up a video on what all the vaults were built for, this one isn't really that bad.
Not going to spoil anything, but just a note on the caviar. Properly made caviar is HEAVILY salted, to the point where it, effectively, lasts forever. Russian MRE's (military meals designed to last for literally centuries, in case you had never heard the term) have caviar in them because it wont spoil, and it's packed with protein. Given that Vault 4 was one of their flagship vaults (ie featured in a commercial, it was a 'tester' vault, and was slated to be staffed by high end science types), it's not surprising it would be stocked with copious amounts of high end goodies, including caviar.
Maximus is used to living in a world where he can't trust anyone. He likes Lucy, but he's keeping her at a distance because he's seen what happens when you put too much trust in someone. While he's still reserved and not letting her in all the way, the fact that he's still opening up to trust with her is a big step for him.
What? Lucy grew up believing in the best in people & trusting them. She’s just now learning to not everyone is to be trusted. Maximus knows not to trust certain ppl.
@@westfinest20 Sorry, I'm not understanding how that applies to what I'm saying about Maximus. I mean, I see how they contrast...Lucy learning to not trust everyone and Maximus learn sometimes you have to trust someone...just not sure where you're going with it outside of that.
Maximus trust ppl. He just knows not to trust certain ppl. Like the fiends. He knew it was something off about them. He trust Dane. He thought he could trust Thad with the secret. Point is he doesn’t have a hard time trusting ppl. Or else he never would’ve took the lady up on the hot shower in vault 4.
@@westfinest20 He didn't trust Dane with anything. The one time he did, he had reservation. He didn't trust Thadius for quite a while, then the minute he did it backfired on him. He also didn't trust the lady...she got him to open up. Again, he's learning to open up because of his exposure to Lucy. Just gotta strongly disagree with every point you're trying to make.
Something tells me Angela is going to go to work and have a discussion with all the dentists and coworkers about teeth being used for ammo in a post apocalyptic society from watching this show. Could be a fascinating conversation. 😊
And there are cultures that don't have running water or indoor plumbing. It can be a little humiliating for the people who have to be corrected about that when they're in a modern (or Western Northern hemisphere, at least) setting. As another piece of culture shock, one time a supervisor was demonstrating to a bunch of new workers how to attach a garden hose to a wall spigot and turn it on, and when the water started flowing quite a few of the people gasped and stepped back a step or two. When he asked what had bothered them, one spoke up saying, "They have never seen a man summon water from a wall before." Now, of course he didn't 'summon' anything, the water was already there thanks to the miracle of indoor plumbing and would have been the same for everyone else, but my point is people don't react to things as they are, they react to things as they (the person observing) are. Show someone something alien to their culture and upbringing and they will try to understand it within their cultural context. So, water from a wall spigot becomes an act to magic and awe. But you have to feel empathy, they began the day knowing how the world works, and suddenly something happens that easily defies their norm and leaves them in a confusing limbo of contradictory understanding to climb out of.
Btw, I think “Sorrell” might be an Easter Egg; the actor who played “Boss Hogg” in the 80s TV show “The Dukes of Hazzard” was an amazing character actor named Sorrell Booke - who was the quintessential rural corrupt politician. Fun fact, the man who played dumb-as-stone Boss Hogg was fluent in multiple languages from his time as an Army Counterintelligence officer
Just watched an interview with Walton Goggins and Aaron Moten and Aaron told a story about the guy that played the doctor with the nose on his forehead. He apparently didn't know that was happening until he got into make-up!😂
"Fiddlesticks"?? Lucy is wearing off on you. I used to work in a bank property management department. We all overheard a speaker call where a bank manager was losing her shit to one of our repair reps, the sweetest, mildest, most proper young church gal you'd ever want to meet. When the call ended she emerged from her cubicle, fists clenched, teeth clenched, smoke about to come out her ears. We expected a torrent of profanity, but all she could manage was, "OH, FOR JIMMINY CRICKETS SAKE!!!!" The whole department bit our lips and returned to our cubicles to quietly laugh up our sleeves. Of course we teased her about it mercilessly, but she was a good sport about it as she saw how ludicrous it was that she hadn't "*♧₩#@&$%!!!"'ed her brains out.
Hey Angela! I really enjoyed your reaction, & u got me laughing w/the list of normal body parts on people that u hoped Lucy would find on Level 12.😊 U know, they weren' t conducting an experiment w/Lucy & Maximus. I suppose it was normal human pheromones. I mean, we know they r attracted to one another. I think that Test Subjects sign has always been there. If u remember the commercial, Vault 4 was a Vault run by scientists. That clinic up top was most likely used to trap survivors on the surface after the bombs dropped so they could be test subjects. That's why there is a policy in Vault 4 to take Surface Dwellers/outsiders into the vault. Those pregnant women & other test subjects were in Cryopods. I believe Moldaver might have been in a Cryopod of her own, somewhere. That's why she's not ghoulified. Shady Sands was bombed 200yrs after the initial bombs were dropped, which is 19yrs before Lucy & Maximus' current time. Well, hope some of this stuff was helpful to ya. Until the next! 😊👍
"You guys seen Battlestar Galactica?" Why yes, I have...both versions and watched your reactions to the newer one. hehe. 😄 As the Fallout series goes along, it's awesome to get some answers but it also begs more questions. The theories that can derive can be wild. Really looking for your reaction to the next episode.
Maximus is forever at war with himself. He loves honour and has a strong desire to be honourable. He's also had to scrap and cheat and compete to survive and to belong, and that second part will make him do whatever it thinks he has to do to maximise survival/acceptance chance. The caviar is canned and therefore prewar I assume. Not that there's not at least one cannery in the wasteland already, making oh-so-yummy canned goods.
Shes still around probably because she was frozen ( cryo sleep) in fallout 4 the main characters vault 111 they were not told about being frozen only that they had a spot in the vault and were told their pods were decontamination pods/ showers and thats how they got frozen...but the effects of cryo sleep was the test but in the end vault tech was gonna come in see the results than put the subjects down...
14:30 The gent talking to Coop at the bar is on an extraordinary series on Hulu called Reservation Dogs. Beautifully done series: funny, heartbreaking and just great to watch ♥ Yes, I am proselytizing. It's that good . Great to do reactions to as well as watch.
Don't make assumptions on preconceptions... The Overseer said 'We'd prefer you not to go to level 12' He didn't forbid it. There are no locks on the door. No guards. No restrictions in the elevator...
Loving this series, and I'm tiding myself over during the week by watching your The Expanse series, which is phenomenal, by the way. Anyway, I don't know if you've considered this or not, but it would be really cool to get a series where you play Fallout 4 (totally different story from the show, set in Boston). I know I'd love to see it, and I bet everyone else here would too!
Yep. 😆 This episode is a masterclass in using the audience's assumptions and judgements to lead them to a conclusion without directly lying about anything.
Let's be real... in a post-apocalyptic world, I would 100% join a cult for the snacksssss. Edit: I'm sorry but for some reason the furious application of lip balm following that birthing scene has me rolling 😂😂😂
I cannot imagine how many times they had to practice the opening dialogue between Lucy and Maximus in this episode before they were able to keep a straight face...
The flashback with Cooper is a couple hundred years before Lucy was born. The dog breeding was more contemporary to Lucy's time and was on the surface.
I love the parallel between The Ghoul being a great person to what he is now and seeing a very similar thing happen with Lucy potentially - great storytelling!
Despite how hardened the Ghoul has become I think there's still some honor in him. Since Lucy gave him the vials after she smashed up the Super Duper Mart by releasing the ferals the Ghoul took the fall for it's destruction.
Also its kind of on him for passing out - maybe he was impressed enough by Lucy he wants to spare her the extra trouble blaming her might cause her. They weren't going to let him go whatever he said I feel, so claiming credit didn't really cost him anything.
@@pollyparrot9447 I think it was a test honestly. He told her she had problems here outside, and that she had best try her luck 'in there' which she did. Either she would come out alive, and prove she was strong enough to face the wasteland, or die, and be spared its horrors and whatever fate awaited a naïve vault dweller. Having your organs harvested really isn't the *worst* thing that can happen there. And in the end he got his Vials either way.
You sound like me when I contemplate a run. But it's windy...or dark, or cold, or rainy. I live in Seattle...it's usually one of those things. I don't run much.
Got so happy when I realized it was Monday and you'd have a new Fallout upload, lol. I was also brushing my teeth at the time. Coincidence, or irony? lol
Attaching someone else's tooth into your mouth won't work? What are you going to say next, That you can't grab a random dead finger out of a drawer and casually reattach it in seconds?
The cast is great but Aaron Moten does such a good job with Maximus, I can't wait to see him in more stuff. His befuddled delivery of 'What is this?' was so perfect.
@@Krucifus Yeah it really stuck with me that line, like I think its one of the most important statements in the entire show and is gonna stick with me for a long time.
Yay, more Fallout reaction! Going to be sad when it's over but, at least we have Season 2 to look forward to! Also, I loved the explanation of the NCR in this episode and the music sting from the games when they focus on the flag.
It’s funny I’ve seen a lot of reactions on this show and everybody always says “ I hope this isn’t the end of the episode. Is this the end of the episode?!” That shows how much of good show it is
Fun Fact: The vault Tec phone number in the advert (213-25-Vault) really works. You call it and you will find a Fallout easter egg. Disclaimer: Not for the faint of heart
I can think of one really, really good reason to use teeth as amunition: Septic poisoning. Human bites have like a 90% infection rate. You get that tooth deep into someone, and it's gonna result in a very nasty, likely deadly infection, even if you pull it out. Now, infection is a risk with any wound you get, but teeth increase the likelihood quite a bit. I guess the idea is that even if the target gets away, you've still screwed them long term. Kinda like using a poisoned arrow, poisoned knife, etc. Even if they win the fight they lose. Plus, being cannibals, the fiends also have a ready supply of teeth, and it's really the only good use of them I can even think of. They probably make simple knives or handles for them with the bones. Why waste the metal to make a bullet when you can just shoot teeth? Not only is it quite effective, but it can also kill the target at a later point if they get away.
Great episode! I think it's crazy that The Ghoul has Lucy's finger now lol. Aaaand I'm pretty sure the caviar comes from the experiments on level 12... yuck!

In the first game, Shady Sands was the first major quest hub you encounter after leaving the vault. It is a tiny town on the verge of collapse. As you dig around, you find out that it is populated by what's left of Vault 15 (your character is from Vault 13).

Great summary. Worth mentioning that some 20 or 15 years before the show takes place, the New California Republic tried to expand towards the East, heading into Nevada, but by then the corruption problem had gotten so bad it was basically consensus that they lacked the resources, manpower, and logistical capabilities for that campaign to be successful.

@@CliffSedge-nu5fv You're thinking Long 15, not Shady Sands
Unless your Vault was a 'Control' Vault, you're going to be subject to a very unpleasant experiment.
"Gary..."
Vault 11 has entered the chat.
it wasn't fish they were breeding, those were gulpers(the big mouthed thing with fingers in it's mouth). since you were so curious about floor 12 once you're done with the series you could look up a video on what all the vaults were built for, this one isn't really that bad.
☺Ya got me with the CSI Miami cut... Thanks for the laugh!
Not going to spoil anything, but just a note on the caviar. Properly made caviar is HEAVILY salted, to the point where it, effectively, lasts forever. Russian MRE's (military meals designed to last for literally centuries, in case you had never heard the term) have caviar in them because it wont spoil, and it's packed with protein.
Given that Vault 4 was one of their flagship vaults (ie featured in a commercial, it was a 'tester' vault, and was slated to be staffed by high end science types), it's not surprising it would be stocked with copious amounts of high end goodies, including caviar.
Maximus is used to living in a world where he can't trust anyone. He likes Lucy, but he's keeping her at a distance because he's seen what happens when you put too much trust in someone. While he's still reserved and not letting her in all the way, the fact that he's still opening up to trust with her is a big step for him.
What? Lucy grew up believing in the best in people & trusting them. She’s just now learning to not everyone is to be trusted. Maximus knows not to trust certain ppl.
@@westfinest20 Sorry, I'm not understanding how that applies to what I'm saying about Maximus. I mean, I see how they contrast...Lucy learning to not trust everyone and Maximus learn sometimes you have to trust someone...just not sure where you're going with it outside of that.
Maximus trust ppl. He just knows not to trust certain ppl. Like the fiends. He knew it was something off about them. He trust Dane. He thought he could trust Thad with the secret. Point is he doesn’t have a hard time trusting ppl. Or else he never would’ve took the lady up on the hot shower in vault 4.
@@westfinest20 He didn't trust Dane with anything. The one time he did, he had reservation. He didn't trust Thadius for quite a while, then the minute he did it backfired on him. He also didn't trust the lady...she got him to open up. Again, he's learning to open up because of his exposure to Lucy. Just gotta strongly disagree with every point you're trying to make.
That "Galaxy news" at the start, is what you used to see in Fallout 1 and 2, the original games before Bethesda bought the franchise.
Is this vault great?
Yes.
Is this vault horrible?
Also yes.

I quite like the decór.
"There's a lot of money in war."
Yep, war never changes.
Something tells me Angela is going to go to work and have a discussion with all the dentists and coworkers about teeth being used for ammo in a post apocalyptic society from watching this show. Could be a fascinating conversation. 😊
The look on your face in the thumbnail is gold 🤣❤️
The bathroom bit was because surface dwellers do not have running water or toilets so they often make messesg.
And there are cultures that don't have running water or indoor plumbing. It can be a little humiliating for the people who have to be corrected about that when they're in a modern (or Western Northern hemisphere, at least) setting.
As another piece of culture shock, one time a supervisor was demonstrating to a bunch of new workers how to attach a garden hose to a wall spigot and turn it on, and when the water started flowing quite a few of the people gasped and stepped back a step or two. When he asked what had bothered them, one spoke up saying, "They have never seen a man summon water from a wall before." Now, of course he didn't 'summon' anything, the water was already there thanks to the miracle of indoor plumbing and would have been the same for everyone else, but my point is people don't react to things as they are, they react to things as they (the person observing) are. Show someone something alien to their culture and upbringing and they will try to understand it within their cultural context. So, water from a wall spigot becomes an act to magic and awe. But you have to feel empathy, they began the day knowing how the world works, and suddenly something happens that easily defies their norm and leaves them in a confusing limbo of contradictory understanding to climb out of.
Just wait until.they find out about the three shells.......
Of note; the Overseer of Vault 4 is the voice of Jerry on Rick and Morty (looooossseeeeer) 😀
Btw, I think “Sorrell” might be an Easter Egg; the actor who played “Boss Hogg” in the 80s TV show “The Dukes of Hazzard” was an amazing character actor named Sorrell Booke - who was the quintessential rural corrupt politician.
Fun fact, the man who played dumb-as-stone Boss Hogg was fluent in multiple languages from his time as an Army Counterintelligence officer
“Please, if she sees someone, only have one nose….” I laughed so hard at this. Just wait. 🐟 🐟 🐟
Just watched an interview with Walton Goggins and Aaron Moten and Aaron told a story about the guy that played the doctor with the nose on his forehead.
He apparently didn't know that was happening until he got into make-up!😂
Oh damnit, 3 times I've watched and this is the first time I've thought to question the source of that caviar. So thanks for that.
Okay, everyone who called and texted the Vault-Tec number raise your hand! (Raises hand.)
I nearly spat my coffee out when she used her lip balm 😂
As a gamer and a fallout fan, it's still awesome to hear the fallout theme during the flowchart scene.
29:50 “AHH! His noses!” 😆😂🤣💀
That convo of Lucy & Maximus was hilarious! 😂😅😂
"Fiddlesticks"?? Lucy is wearing off on you. I used to work in a bank property management department. We all overheard a speaker call where a bank manager was losing her shit to one of our repair reps, the sweetest, mildest, most proper young church gal you'd ever want to meet. When the call ended she emerged from her cubicle, fists clenched, teeth clenched, smoke about to come out her ears. We expected a torrent of profanity, but all she could manage was, "OH, FOR JIMMINY CRICKETS SAKE!!!!" The whole department bit our lips and returned to our cubicles to quietly laugh up our sleeves. Of course we teased her about it mercilessly, but she was a good sport about it as she saw how ludicrous it was that she hadn't "*♧₩#@&$%!!!"'ed her brains out.
Laughed so hard and understood completely when I saw you in the same clothes. Glad you enjoyed this show!
Hey Angela! I really enjoyed your reaction, & u got me laughing w/the list of normal body parts on people that u hoped Lucy would find on Level 12.😊 U know, they weren' t conducting an experiment w/Lucy & Maximus. I suppose it was normal human pheromones. I mean, we know they r attracted to one another. I think that Test Subjects sign has always been there. If u remember the commercial, Vault 4 was a Vault run by scientists. That clinic up top was most likely used to trap survivors on the surface after the bombs dropped so they could be test subjects. That's why there is a policy in Vault 4 to take Surface Dwellers/outsiders into the vault. Those pregnant women & other test subjects were in Cryopods. I believe Moldaver might have been in a Cryopod of her own, somewhere. That's why she's not ghoulified. Shady Sands was bombed 200yrs after the initial bombs were dropped, which is 19yrs before Lucy & Maximus' current time. Well, hope some of this stuff was helpful to ya. Until the next! 😊👍
I think Vault 4 is the most "normal" and safest vault in any vaults knowing the vault lore 😂
"A Man and His Dog" is an homage to the 1975 classic post apocalyptic movie, "A Boy and His Dog" with an incredibly young Don Johnson.
"You guys seen Battlestar Galactica?" Why yes, I have...both versions and watched your reactions to the newer one. hehe. 😄 As the Fallout series goes along, it's awesome to get some answers but it also begs more questions. The theories that can derive can be wild. Really looking for your reaction to the next episode.
The lip balm coming out at 28:45 was so funny!
The csi edit was hilarious 🤣
congrats on hitting 100k!
It's a blast watching your mind spin up. I can't wait to see you get all the reveals.
AaaaaaaaaAaaAaaaaahh!!! Can't wait!
❤
Lol, another one of the episodes I've been waiting for. I love Maximus's lines in this one haha.
Maximus is forever at war with himself. He loves honour and has a strong desire to be honourable. He's also had to scrap and cheat and compete to survive and to belong, and that second part will make him do whatever it thinks he has to do to maximise survival/acceptance chance.
The caviar is canned and therefore prewar I assume. Not that there's not at least one cannery in the wasteland already, making oh-so-yummy canned goods.
Having binge watched this day 1, it's a blast watching other people's reactions as the episodes progress.
Vault 4 reminds me of a bit from The Addams Family movie. The combination to THEIR vault (treasure vault) "two, ten, eleven. Eyes, fingers, toes" 🤣
Shes still around probably because she was frozen ( cryo sleep) in fallout 4 the main characters vault 111 they were not told about being frozen only that they had a spot in the vault and were told their pods were decontamination pods/ showers and thats how they got frozen...but the effects of cryo sleep was the test but in the end vault tech was gonna come in see the results than put the subjects down...
37:50 In which our dear dentist reacter is sidetracked in exploring the possibility of weaponising extracted teeth...
14:30 The gent talking to Coop at the bar is on an extraordinary series on Hulu called Reservation Dogs. Beautifully done series: funny, heartbreaking and just great to watch ♥ Yes, I am proselytizing. It's that good . Great to do reactions to as well as watch.
"Is that where they got the caviar?" Took me out lol
You said,”ten fingers ten toes”. My brain went “ten…tacles”. 😂😂😂
I like the part where Angela got so nervous she ate an entire tube of lip balm
Don't make assumptions on preconceptions... The Overseer said 'We'd prefer you not to go to level 12' He didn't forbid it. There are no locks on the door. No guards. No restrictions in the elevator...
Loving this series, and I'm tiding myself over during the week by watching your The Expanse series, which is phenomenal, by the way.
Anyway, I don't know if you've considered this or not, but it would be really cool to get a series where you play Fallout 4 (totally different story from the show, set in Boston). I know I'd love to see it, and I bet everyone else here would too!
Sometimes it's not just the characters in the show that fall into the trap...
They got me
Yep. 😆 This episode is a masterclass in using the audience's assumptions and judgements to lead them to a conclusion without directly lying about anything.
Not a Baby-farm, it's a Gulper-farm ;) hehe
A Baby-Gulper farm, if you will.
@@LoricSwift Indeed ;) hehe
Call the number! Lmao 🤣
this episode sent her loopy lol
Let's be real... in a post-apocalyptic world, I would 100% join a cult for the snacksssss.
Edit: I'm sorry but for some reason the furious application of lip balm following that birthing scene has me rolling 😂😂😂
I cannot imagine how many times they had to practice the opening dialogue between Lucy and Maximus in this episode before they were able to keep a straight face...
The flashback with Cooper is a couple hundred years before Lucy was born. The dog breeding was more contemporary to Lucy's time and was on the surface.
I love the parallel between The Ghoul being a great person to what he is now and seeing a very similar thing happen with Lucy potentially - great storytelling!
Despite how hardened the Ghoul has become I think there's still some honor in him. Since Lucy gave him the vials after she smashed up the Super Duper Mart by releasing the ferals the Ghoul took the fall for it's destruction.
Also its kind of on him for passing out - maybe he was impressed enough by Lucy he wants to spare her the extra trouble blaming her might cause her. They weren't going to let him go whatever he said I feel, so claiming credit didn't really cost him anything.
@@Krucifus ''And here is this other town I shot up too!" XD
It's his fault Lucy was in there in the first place.
@@pollyparrot9447 I think it was a test honestly. He told her she had problems here outside, and that she had best try her luck 'in there' which she did. Either she would come out alive, and prove she was strong enough to face the wasteland, or die, and be spared its horrors and whatever fate awaited a naïve vault dweller. Having your organs harvested really isn't the *worst* thing that can happen there.
And in the end he got his Vials either way.
You sound like me when I contemplate a run. But it's windy...or dark, or cold, or rainy. I live in Seattle...it's usually one of those things. I don't run much.
Got so happy when I realized it was Monday and you'd have a new Fallout upload, lol. I was also brushing my teeth at the time. Coincidence, or irony? lol
14:54 Hollywood Forever, means that in peace time Hollywood would last forever. No need to stop making movies or TV shows, if the bombs don't drop.
U know it's an actual cemetery, right?
@@lynetteoliva1256 yeah, that's where the observatory is...
Attaching someone else's tooth into your mouth won't work? What are you going to say next, That you can't grab a random dead finger out of a drawer and casually reattach it in seconds?
I also had problems with the finger… But mostly because it was gray😂
The cast is great but Aaron Moten does such a good job with Maximus, I can't wait to see him in more stuff. His befuddled delivery of 'What is this?' was so perfect.
He really impressed me yeah. He did some amazing work here, and I look forwards to seeing more from him in the future.
@@Krucifus Yeah it really stuck with me that line, like I think its one of the most important statements in the entire show and is gonna stick with me for a long time.
He's great in Disjointed 😂
Yay, more Fallout reaction! Going to be sad when it's over but, at least we have Season 2 to look forward to!
Also, I loved the explanation of the NCR in this episode and the music sting from the games when they focus on the flag.
I could watch an entire season of Goggn pre-war, then again, I could watch him reading the dictionary.
So excited for the next 2.
Oh man. Looking forward to your reaction to 7 and 8.
Caviar? NAH
it was a GULPER ...the thing with fingers in its mouth from earlier episodes 🤣🔥🤟✌️
It’s funny I’ve seen a lot of reactions on this show and everybody always says “ I hope this isn’t the end of the episode. Is this the end of the episode?!”
That shows how much of good show it is
You wanted the back story for the Gulper. Be careful what you wish for...
I wonder if she'll be suitably embarrassed after watching episode 7. I doubt it, as most reactors aren't.
Fun Fact: The vault Tec phone number in the advert (213-25-Vault) really works. You call it and you will find a Fallout easter egg.
Disclaimer: Not for the faint of heart
Is that where they get the caviar?! Girl I didn't need to think that thought
There's still a lot of dots that don't obviously connect, but sorta must, somehow.
That moment when they don't know what the enclave is and accidentally theorycraft the enclave
I can think of one really, really good reason to use teeth as amunition: Septic poisoning. Human bites have like a 90% infection rate. You get that tooth deep into someone, and it's gonna result in a very nasty, likely deadly infection, even if you pull it out.
Now, infection is a risk with any wound you get, but teeth increase the likelihood quite a bit. I guess the idea is that even if the target gets away, you've still screwed them long term. Kinda like using a poisoned arrow, poisoned knife, etc. Even if they win the fight they lose.
Plus, being cannibals, the fiends also have a ready supply of teeth, and it's really the only good use of them I can even think of. They probably make simple knives or handles for them with the bones. Why waste the metal to make a bullet when you can just shoot teeth? Not only is it quite effective, but it can also kill the target at a later point if they get away.
Secrets 101: 1. Don't mention that you have a secret. 2. Tell everybody to not look for the secret.
Great episode! I think it's crazy that The Ghoul has Lucy's finger now lol. Aaaand I'm pretty sure the caviar comes from the experiments on level 12... yuck!
