      I love how it also shows how quick Walter is. We know The Ghoul is smart but Walter came across a bit naive like Lucy, so those moments where he catches on to what his wife and others are saying, which then sends him on his quest to find out what's going on with his wife, is great. Walter G's Perception points get a bonus. 😅

    In the fallout Timeline there was a resource war between China and the USA. The war went hot and they were fighting each other China tried to conquer Alaska and the US retaliated and sent to troops to China's mainland too, so it was only a matter of time before one side or the other felt they were losing and decided to go Nuclear.

    This episode is the perfect blend of “TONS of new info” but also “My brain hurts, I’m LOST AF” ((upon rewatching the season, it’s hysterical how MANY foreshadowing scenes are in every episode - I love when shows do this tastefully, BIG pay off))

    Cooper's friend said in their chat that America has been at war for the last ten years (and the two of them in fact know each other because they fought together in Alaska), and for many years before that there was a cold war as well, but at the point of that conversation no one had escalated to using nuclear weapons yet. The threat was looming for decades and decades though, so many people see it as inevitable

    • @caffeinedelusions
      @caffeinedelusions 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yep. I'm not super deep in the alternate history of the setting, but there was a whole series of conflicts (primarily with communist China) called the Resource Wars that'd been ongoing for a LONG time, which were all about two superpowers trying to keep funneling raw materials into their respective processing capabilities to prop up their respective standards of living. When Coop talks about 'keeping out the rads AND the reds', he's talking about China more than Russia.

    2141 - *Shady Sands* is founded by Vault 15 denizens.
    2161 - Shady Sands appears in *Fallout* (the first game) as a small, but thriving settlement.
    2189 - The *New California Republic* is born.
    2198 - Shady Sands becomes the capital of the New California Republic.

    😮Reason (simply explained) behind Vaults: flashbacks are around 2075, bombs dropped two yrs later, but at time of flashbacks, there is already a war between US and China, started 2066.., Cooper was in US Marines (late 2060s to early 2070s), wearing first power armor (T 45), later T 51 was introduced, and later T 60 in early 2077. China invaded Alaska. Already before that war, US annexed Canada and even Mexico, while EU and Middle East were at war (even dropping tactical nukes at each other), and all that, cause resources are short, coming to an end, thus, powers fight each other for "leftovers", while obviously some sort of "plan B", something new is needed. Also US changed from 50 States to 13 Commonwealths, each encopassing several States.

    Food for thought when you are rewatching this episode:
    In episode 5, the sign in front of the building where Max and Lucy fall into the trap says "Hawthorne Medical Laboratories, A Division of Vault-Tec Corporation".
    In this episode, when Coop is doing the commercial about vault 4, he introduces Lloyd and Cassandra Hawthorne as scientists specializing in the effects of radiation on human DNA. When talking to Bud Askins, Coop says he wore the T-45 power armor when we almost lost the state of Alaska.
    In the first episode, the news on the radio mentioned negotiations and the news anchor on the TV mentions the specter of Nuclear War facing the nation for 10 long years.
    The Hawthornes were in 429 Sycamore Street and Max's place was across the corridor in 428 Sycamore Street. (not important for your search for the truth, but fun fact)

    Did you not notice that Cooper met Moldaver in the past? As for the nuclear war. I think it helps if you know history. Remember, before the war, the world was still kind of stuck in a 50's aesthetic and mindset. The 50's was the beginning of the cold war. People were building bomb shelter. Now, move forward in time to where Cooper is an actor, in the 2070's. Basically the world has been in a cold war for over 100 years. We also learned that there was a non nuclear war, where Alaska was almost taken over. So a nuclear war didn't just come from nowhere. It had been building for decades.

    In case anyone is confused about what "gas-lighting" is, I refer you to the dinner table scene between Cooper Howard and Mrs. Howard.
    Coop has every right to ask the questions he does.
    His wife turns it around and makes him think his questions are the problem by getting upset at him for them. Suddenly it's about how he is reacting, not what he is reacting to- the original point of the discussion.
    MAN I love the writing and acting in this show! Getting gas-lighting that accurate without having to spell out what it is she's doing is masterful production. This is 100% a typical example of the term.

    • @caffeinedelusions
      @caffeinedelusions 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      That's not the full scope of gaslighting as a practice, but it's definitely running a close parallel to it.
      Basically, gaslighting is a psychological abuse tactic in which someone is actively campaigning to make someone doubt their own sanity... but blame-redirecting and unwarranted hostility towards reasonable questions are classic components of that sort of campaign.
      I had to write a paper in my teacher credentialing program about gaslighting, and how teaching the play that the term is named for ('gas light' by Patrick Hamilton) can help students recognize the tactic in action in order to protect themselves from psychological abuse.

    Remember Lucy asked Maximus about the past 200 years. She found her answerst on the chalk board, which is basically a recap of Fallout 1, 2, and New Vegas... with a shocking surprised at the end.
    According to the chalkboard, Shady Sands was established in 2142, sixty five years after the bombs fell. The original settlers of Shady Sands were the residents of Vault 15. Sometime between 2077 (when the bombs fell) and 2142, (when Shady Sands was established) they left Vault15 and came to the surface, used the used the Garden of Eden Creation Kit (G.E.C.K.) to create a patch of good land, built a wall and some huts, and PRESTO... Shady Sands. Other residents of Vault 15 went their own way, becoming tribal groups living off the land. Some of them became raiders.
    The big controversy among Fallout nerds is the date of the destruction of Shady Sands. The chalkboard says 2277. But Fallout New Vegas takes place four years later in 2281, and they all seem to think Shady Sands is still up and running as the capital of the New California Republic.

    👉An undercover reporter got a hedge fund employee to talk openly on camera about how _all_ the big hedge funds hold significant stock in weapons manufacturers, and have _no_ _interest_ in a certain war in a country east of Germany and west of Russia ending, as the former PM of the UK went to that country and told their President that he was to _cease_ peace talks with their invader, at the behest of the US.

      It doesn't conflict with what's said in the games, it conflicts with what people ASSUMED when playing the games. The last we heard about the NCR was in New Vegas, and people assumed that the NCR's presence in the Mojave wasteland indicated that Shady Sands was still the capital and was in good shape... but they never actually confirm that assumption. In fact, the fall of Shady Sands and the NCR being on less stable footing would explain a lot about why their mission in the New Vegas region was so important.
