I'm watching the series one episode at a time because I'm watching it with family, so I appreciate the one at a time recaps. Also appreciate that you're knowledgeable about the games. I'm not a big lorehead but I do like it when weapons or products from the game show up. There's a lot of interesting detail. So please do continue. Maybe see if you can call a gable a slopey boy or have a little rant about a foundation lacking underpinnings, the one about the arm jets didn't do it for me ;)
I’m Jeff from The MCU’S Bleeding Edge YT Channel/ Podcast and I’m actually here to watch and listen to this fine fellow TH-camrs Ep 2 breakdown cause we only review tv series in a weekly episodical form regardless of how they come out. So I’m listening to this for prep, I have played the games a little, we don’t do this style with our recaps we actually do all our shows live and we have guests on the shows so it’s more of a discussion based format make sense? If you enjoy the weekly ep deal and the series please, with all proper respect intended since I’m another creators CS, check out one of our ep recaps sometime, totally different format with people just talking not high end like this lol. We do EP 2 Sat at 8pm EST Ep 3 next Friday at 9:35PM EST.
It also had the hammer and sickle which symbol was on the Soviet Union flag. 2077 when the bombing occured is supposed to be similar to real life 1960s which the USSR/CCCP existed during that time.
I thought the ghoul revived the dog because he was going to use it to track the scent of the doctor. But they never show anything to support the theory. I thought it would have added to his bounty hunter image
@@TNG76 I wish they would have leaned into it more. Like have the ghoul give her his dismembered foot to smell and shown a faint trail of blood along their footsteps in the sand.
Great and entertaining breakdown for the first couple of episodes, great stuff indeed :) Looking forward to more breakdowns of the episodes as this series turned out to be way better than I had originally thought :)
"It takes more than a 10mm pistol to kill a yao guai..." THANK YOU!! In Fallout 1, shooting an enemy in the eye (albeit using VATS) does a lot more damage than targeting any other body part. In my head canon I'm calling the kill shot just to the north of the eye an homage to FO1. I, too, don't know what to make of Maximus at this point (and I'm only up to episode 5 at this point). The best answer I can think - and if I'm right, this was some amazing writing - is that each of the three protagonists were written for the three playstyles of good, neutral, and evil - with Maximus being the neutral; some sense of nobility but also out for himself and willing to make questionable moral decisions in order to cut corners. By the way, have you seen Tim Cain's video after he attended the premier? He pointed out how some of the extras (whom he later found out were players of the game) had the same posture of random NPCs in the first FO game. Tim said he asked the director about this and it wasn't his intention. So he chose to believe the extras did that as tribute to the game.
TNG - The satellite isn't Chinese, it's Russian. CCCP is the abbreviation USSR in Russian. Great breakdown though and love all you vids. Thanks for all you do.
Many people in the series refer to him as an Enclave member... so just run with it. Nothing to figure out at this point. Oh! And this looks like an old government facility in the mountains. Sierra Madres?
The thing is they describe him as an enclave member who's escaped the commonwealth and a brotherhood cleric is the one who's assigned the mission 🤔 You're right I'm probs looking too much into it 😂😂
Appreciate you brother I’m actually fixing to watch and outline this episode for my channel and our recap and I thought I’d have you on in the background to take some early notes. I subbed you and i know you sound like your across the pond but if we could connect I’d be very happy to extend an invite to you to join us for one of our Fallout recap shows, we do the live discussion type deal and I think you would enjoy chopping it up with myself and my mates.
I totally agree. His performances in The Hateful Eight and Invincible convinced me that he should at least get to voice The Joker in animation. After seeing this, I can totally see him as a live action Joker, southern accent and all. A southernized Joker could be really interesting. Certainly would be better than Jared Leto or whatever that nonsense was in the deleted scene from The Batman.with the Saltburn guy.
Hey TNG, check out the size of the body on the gurney at 1:54. Perhaps that's a super mutant? Also that syringe he saved his dog from getting injected could be FEV. This might be someplace like west tech but on the west side of the us. The show never tells you where this place actually is even in future episodes so no worries I'm not spoiling anything.
Loved the series and as for maximus landing and getting stuck! i just took that as him being stuck on the graphics and a nod to 76 😂 cheers tng top content as always.
don't play video games but I like this show. What I don't get is the time frame. It's supposed to start in 2077 but it looks like the 1950s but without segregation. Was the stuff at the lab at the beginning of episode 2 supposed to be in 2077? How are the guy & the dog alive 200 and some odd years later? I get that Walton Goggins character started as the human cowboy at the party and radiation made him a ghoul, but how is he alive 200 years later? Do ghouls not die?? Are the vaults all connected? Clearly 32 and 33 were somehow. Why is it such a big deal to travel between them? You would think they would encourage visitation with other vaults to avoid inbreeding.
The Fallout universe is a parallel universe. The dog is not 200+ years old, but Cooper Howard is, because he is a ghoul. The radiation burned his skin, but otherwise rendered him immortal(ish). No, the vaults are not all connected. As for inbreeding..... if you look up vault lore, not all vaults were concerned with longevity of any kind.
The bombs dropped in the 60’s I believe so everything that happens in our world after that never happens in fallout. Ghouls can live a long time but most of the time they lose out to the bloodlust urge and become what they call feral which is basically a zombie. The doctor and dog exist in whatever present day is in the tv show and they didn’t live longer than a normal human in the real world. As for the vaults they were actually all experiments. So one vaults might have tried to survive on a vegetarian diet, one vault could specialize in weapons, another one could focus on religion. To my knowledge in the games we’ve never seen 2 vaults connected before but that doesn’t mean there weren’t some out there for a specific experiment. The vaults were also made with monitoring systems, so everything that happens inside them is documented. They weren’t actually designed with the intention of saving everyone inside them. Remember in the fallout universe there’s not actually any good faction. Everyone has nefarious reasons for doing what they do. And vault-tec was no different.
So the fallout timeline pretty much follows ours up until a certain date, war of independence happens, ww2 etc etc. The bombs dropped in October 2077, the ghoul is still alive because, well he's become a ghoul which is basically a human who's been exposed to radiation and turned into such. There's loads of them in the fallout universe but not everyone turns into a ghoul, some straight up just die. Now in terms of the 50s/60s thing yet the technology is futuristic it's to do with the invention of the microchip iirc, in the fallout universe they never invented it
Yep I messed my timeline up. The 50’s and 60’s is when the timeline changes because of a technology piece and the bombs drop in 2077. My mistake on that.
The style is referred to as retro-futuristic. As others mention, it's an alternate timeline that follows America up to the 50s but then remains "stuck" there, where mankind harnesses fusion energy for technological advancement. The developers of the first Fallout game liked the 50's aesthetic and heavily incorporated it into the style. The titles that came after respected and amplified that design decision.

Im loving that they haven't downplayed the stimpacks
I believe CCCP is Cyrillic for Soviet Union. The Russian hockey teams always had that on their jerseys.
It also had the hammer and sickle which symbol was on the Soviet Union flag. 2077 when the bombing occured is supposed to be similar to real life 1960s which the USSR/CCCP existed during that time.
5:14 nah, he just has luck 10. Where do you think the points went? Clearly not physically appearance or whatever it’s called.
Must be Charisma you're thinking of.
@@mehtarelingolienmy b, haven’t play fallout in like a few years
I always thought Yao guai was derived from Yogi bear. Perhaps just a derivation in the Fallout universe.
From what I've read in lore it's from Chinese prisoners who were in camps during the war. I could 100% be wrong though
Dr Ziggy definitely had 10 luck until his foot met it's fate with Cooper Howard 🤣🤣... Episode 3 soon 🙏
I thought the ghoul revived the dog because he was going to use it to track the scent of the doctor. But they never show anything to support the theory. I thought it would have added to his bounty hunter image
See now you say it it 100% makes sense! I didn't even consider he would use her for tracking
@@TNG76 I wish they would have leaned into it more. Like have the ghoul give her his dismembered foot to smell and shown a faint trail of blood along their footsteps in the sand.
Thanks love!!! Keep them coming!!🩷🩷

Loving the breakdowns. We finished all the episodes last night but I like hearing other folks' take on them too.
I love watching your breakdowns of the show! Very hooked keep them coming!
Yao guai is Chinese for large beast. For those wondering
Either that or demon bear. Can't remember. But it's something like that. Google it. Not hard to find
Keep these coming! These are great and your commentary is gold!
Keep these coming! I love your breakdowns!
TNG - The satellite isn't Chinese, it's Russian. CCCP is the abbreviation USSR in Russian. Great breakdown though and love all you vids. Thanks for all you do.
I actually just googled this and you are 100% correct! I hope they aren't gonna portray the USSR as americas main enemy in the war 😂
@@TNG76 I raised the same issue when watching it. My nephew informed me that more than the US and China were players dropping bombs in the Great War.
Great Breakdown! And Great to hear from someone who is well familiar with the games!
Yup, filmed on the Skeleton Coast which is located in Namibia.
Many people in the series refer to him as an Enclave member... so just run with it. Nothing to figure out at this point. Oh! And this looks like an old government facility in the mountains. Sierra Madres?
The thing is they describe him as an enclave member who's escaped the commonwealth and a brotherhood cleric is the one who's assigned the mission 🤔 You're right I'm probs looking too much into it 😂😂
@@TNG76 I'll just refer to him as Doctor MacGuffin.
No humanity. He knew the dog could smell where his owner was

ain’t no way that mini gun turret missed every shot
I died just from the splash damage while watching it.
After watching thiis episode i could see Walter Goggins as the joker
I totally agree. His performances in The Hateful Eight and Invincible convinced me that he should at least get to voice The Joker in animation.
After seeing this, I can totally see him as a live action Joker, southern accent and all. A southernized Joker could be really interesting.

That was definitely a super human in my opinion.
Aye you know what I saw that and thought hmm mutant? However I passed it off as a rotting corpse I think you maybe right though
Fantastic breakdown, this was one of my favourite episodes! And yeah with all the things they did right I don't get why the arm jets??!!
Those houses with all that salty air would NOT be still there after 200 years right? The sets drive me nuts
Loved the series and as for maximus landing and getting stuck! i just took that as him being stuck on the graphics and a nod to 76 😂 cheers tng top content as always.
He healed the dog to use it to track the doctor. Not cuz he cared about it. That's my take.
It just works!
looking forward to the next recap
Didnt the nazis do something similar to German Shepherds ??
Yes.
So it appears there is life after 'Lost'
Can you do episode 3
Subscrıbed
I already cant wait til 2032 when they release more episodes
