FALLOUT (2024) EPISODE 5 REACTION - THE MYSTERY IS KILLING US! - FIRST TIME WATCHING - REVIEW

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 พ.ค. 2024
- Welcome to our first-time watching as we react to the Fallout (2024) show.
On episode 5 of Fallout we got to spend some more time with Maximus and Lucy as they traverse the Wastelands in search of the head they lost! That ending with the trap door though...Absolutely wild. It looks like they just found another vault!
Fallout (2024) is the gripping new Amazon Prime Video series based on the iconic video game. Starring Ella Purnell, Walton Goggins, and Kyle MacLachlan, with visionary direction by Jonathan Nolan, this adaptation brings the beloved game to life in thrilling fashion.
Jonathan Nolan did such a great job bringing this world to life. As newcomers we thought the exposition was delivered in a very simple yet effective manner. The cinematography looked absolutely stunning and the set design is truly out of this world. Lucy is such a magnetic character. Her charisma and values create a stark contrast once she ventures into the real world giving us a fresh take on the fish out of water trope.
Ella Purnell's portrayal of a resilient survivor, Walton Goggins as a cunning antagonist bring depth to this chaotic new world. Jonathan Nolan's direction ensures a cinematic experience, masterfully blending intense drama with the dark humor and iconic elements of the Fallout universe. The show excels in both storytelling and visual spectacle, making it a standout addition to the genre.
We hope you enjoy our reaction, discussion, commentary and review as we delve into the themes and topics that make this show so enjoyable to us.

Lucy you ok 😮😮😮🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮🤯🤯🤯🤯
@@easonstrickland6372 when are you going to react to kingdom of the planet of apes
My favourite reaction channel…PLEASE take a look into the found footage film called Chronicle 2012. I will keep asking forever 😅❤️ you guys will love this movie hand over my heart. It’s a hidden gem.
Norm absolutely went from being a character I didn't expect to see much after episode 1 to being one of the best in the series.
Yeah, Norm may be small but he's got iron in his bones. Moises Arias's performance really shows that tough doesn't need to be a physical thing, you _absolutely_ believe he's not gonna back down.
It's crazy to think this was Annabel O'Hagan's first real role. (Everything else has been small roles in 1 episode of various TV shows or shorts)
She's killing at as Stephanie (eye patch lady). It's clear she's got the acting chops.
Leslie Uggams is doing great as Betty as well. She's terrifying which is unexpected after seeing her in Deadpool.
I think Norm encapsulates what happens when you find an unknown vault in the games and you try to piece together what lead it to be the way it is presently by reading logs in computers and notes left behind by the people who lived there, personaly I think that they did a great job giving us that same feeling from the games.
Yeah, the environmental story-telling is on point, here. I first noted it when Lucy first ventured into an abandoned house and found the skeletal remains of a family around the kitchen table with a bottle of "Vault-Tec Plan D" in the middle of it.
They're excelling at the " Show me, don't tell me" method, which to me is the best wayto tell stories.
Man I'm still impressed at what a ballsy move it was to destroy Shady Sands, one of the most important locations in Fallout canon.
From the perspective of the continuity of the show, it's definitely a power move. And when you find out WHY it was destroyed, it's even more baller (and also truly horrifying).
From a meta perspective, it's because Todd Howard positively HATES the original canon (from Fallout 1 & 2) and wants to pull a Last Jedi on it (ie 'forget the past, kill it if you have to'). The only canon he cares about is 'his' canon.
@@arklytte ??? what is bro yapping about?
@@arklytteBrother that’s like the worst reading of that line from the Last Jedi possible. I don’t know if you noticed, but the guy who was saying that was the petulant villain who got clowned on the entire movie, desperately attempting to emotionally justify killing his own mother. But like, fuck context right? You like Star Wars too much for that shit, it must be an attack on your favorite media franchise directly coming from the director.
Todd Howard is a shit but Rían Johnson doesn’t need to be catching your dumbass strays.
@@arklytte if you literally played any Bethesda FO you'll know that's just not true, guess you're just one of those 'Todd hates original Fallout' idiots that don't really play any of the original and pretend to know. Honestly sick of you guys.
You guys should absolutely create a gaming channel and get started on the Fallout games on that channel. It will not only pave the way for other games, but also become a monumental moment.
You guys are awesome ❤️ Games nowadays have such incredible and intricate storylines. I think it would be cool to share some of our reactions to epic moments as well as the gameplay.
Yesss I’d so watch thattt
@@OfficialMediaKnightsI only played Fallout 1 and 2 when they came out, but they made an indelible imprint on my psyche. And I have kept up with the lore and watched "movies synopses" of the subsequent games. I think a lot of your subscribers might indeed enjoy that
@@OfficialMediaKnights I'll be there to lend my support by watching your reactions, having fun enjoying the gameplay, and lending my knowledge as best as possible to help you better understand the Fallout universe.
Best advice: start from the beginning with 1 and 2. You can get literally all the games on Steam.
Would 100% follow a gaming channel from you guys!
as a new subscriber, I cannot tell you enough how much I love the way you pick up on all the little things, the music, lighting - you picked up on a lot of details that people who PLAYED missed - it's super fun to watch you fall in love with the world we have loved for years.
I don’t think most people are aware of the real horror of why Lucy’s pip boy set off the cannibal. Real vault dweller 11:45 to a cannibal is the opportunity to get some prime Wagyu beef. Raised well in a more or less stress-free environment for its entire life, fed three square meals a day of the best food you can find, and for certain filled with less tumors and cysts the most of the other people they run down up here. Even if Lucy & Max had both been armed to the teeth, that is a meal any cannibal would still try for.
That and then they can sell the pip boy and stuff for more ass jerky
That sounds truly horrifying!
Why sell something for ass jerky when you got the best ass jerky you are ever going to get from the vault dweller. Like saying I’m going to let this steak go bad to walk 20 miles to sell my IMac for a burger probably made out of those flies that ate Thaddeus’s shit. You must be one of those dudes that never fast travels cause that sounds like a lot of work for a shit reward. Pun intended. I do enjoy the thought of you thinking a cannibal just does business with its food source whenever it feels like it. Like me, trying to have a fair and honest transaction with a cow. Hilarious. 😂😂😂
@@goonanhate101 What are you even going on about? It's a bonus. It's like eating a chicken and swiping the golden egg it laid.
The other sad thing about it is, and this is a spoiler for anyone that hasnt played FO4
.
.
.
.
The female Fiend looks incredibly like Cricket, the merchant you can find in FO4. Which has its own implications.
The writing in this series is seriously badass!! The level of detail, the horror, the suspense...the next 3 parts are gonna blow your mind. Buckle up!! It's gonna be a great ride!!
Norm, to me is absolutely the 4th lead of this show. His story and what he uncovers is certainly an important part of the show and the story it's telling. I hope (without spoilers, though I'm sure you two have seen all the episodes by now lol) season 2 gives Norm justice as a character and a co-lead.
You guys are doing great with this series. FO has been a part of many lives for a long time, and seeing your reactions is making me eager to see the next episode with you both.
Thank you so much for such a kind compliment, it means the world!! We cannot wait to share the next episodes with y'all!
If you didn’t pick up on it, Norm went through the archive and every elected overseer in vault 33’s history has come from vault 31.
He clearly didn't pay attention to it
26:14
26:33 specifically she mentions it. They caught it. Remember all these episode reactions on TH-cam are always the edited abridged versions.
Norm is such an underrated character...hes awesome
I really like how nice and polite really Lucy is.
Not sure if you guys understood in later episodes but Shady Sands was built post war and was the first huge actually successful community with 34k people living there.
I think you two may have missed the point when Norm was looking at the computer. EVERYONE who was ever elected as overseer in vault 33 came from Vault 31. Norm even tells Chet that the same thing happened in Vault 32, meaning that everyone elected as overseer there came from vault 31.
The biggest thing in the games, and what they try to accomplish in this series, is CHOICES, whether it is morally right, morally wrong, or morally ambiguous.
THANK YOU, you are the first reactors who have realized that the lights in the Hawthorne Medical Center is guiding anyone who comes in to the "trap" door.
Did you notice that the computer on the overseer's desk that Norm had hacked into and found out that it was his mom's Pip-boy that was used to open the outer vault door of 32 was now busted when Betty took them on a tour of Vault 32?
When this series started, I don't think that anybody really had high hopes for the character of Norm, and now he seems to be an asset for his detective skills.
betty was elected overseer before the election results were in,.. that is what norm saw,.. also,. if you had played the games you would already know what is going on with the vaults,.. i am enjoying that you do not know what we players take for granted when we started this series,..also,. the nuke maximus experience was a seperate event from the nukes that wiped the world
Ich muss mal sagen, ihr seid einer meiner Lieblings Reaction Kanäle. Ich freue mich auf jedes first time watching. Ich mag die Kommentare und ich mag wie ihr das schneidet, so dass man noch vom Film/ Serie weiß was da passiert.
Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland
Love your commentary, I appreciate the way you look at the details of the show. Fantastic job.
Thank you very much! ❤️
This is the only reaction channel that I watch, you guys care for the story and bring your own theories to it too. That’s better than just a raw reaction. Thank you!
"what did you think is in the vaults?" "monsters......thats what people say" yep. accurate. when you get across your first foreign vault in the games its all like "uuuhh what might i find in there! exciting!" and the second vault you gonna be like "well... better stock up on ammo, rad-x, radaway, stimpacks......"
they are either empty with some loot, filled with super tough enemies or just extremely creepy....
Gaaaaarrrryyyyyyyyy!!! Gaaarrryyyyyyyyy!
Oh dear! Cannot wait to explore the Wasteland. It’s gonna be a great opportunity to have a great time and also learn so much more about the lore.
@@OfficialMediaKnightsmost vaults are pure horror movie material and probably 90% of them ended up that way on purpose.
@@markcarpenter6020 GAAAAAARRRYYYYYYYYYYYYY
the one w the plants (3 i think, in nv) had me fucked up the first time i found it lol
Haha GAARY!
You guys are going to love the rest of the show. I’ve been having a blast watching it with you guys since I can’t watch it for the first time again. I binged it in like, 2 days.
Without spoiling it too much.
There were some Vaults that did open progressively after 2077.
Some went on to create communities, such as Vault city, created by the dwellers of Vault 8,
Vault 15 saw the creation of several groups with opposed ideologies surfacing and creating 4 major Raider Gangs and 1 town that would become the Capital of the New California Republic, Shady Sands.
Some Vaults had this assignment "reclamation day" but not all as you will discover.
Remember the sentence said by Wilzing that the cianide pill was the most humane thing done by Vault Tec?
Well he said it for a reason.
Vault tec and connections with the US Goverment before the war but especially with the Enclave.
I wont spoil it further. I d suggest after watching the series play the games and read about Project Safehouse, it will give you a massive insight into Vault Tec and the Enclave.
Sry about the long text ahahah.
Loving the reactions and both your intuition is perfect.
Cheers from Portugal!
Funny that the Plan D cyanide pills were banana flavored. I remember it being very easy to create an artificial banana flavor in junior high school chemistry. So Vault-Tec went for something cheap.
@@yt45204 in Classic Vault tec fashion ahahah
You should DEFINITELY watch the 'Silo' show if you enjoy the Fallout. It has much darker atmosphere, but the plot/mystery is thick as hell.
Seconded. Severance too. And Foundation.
Please don't. Silo was poorly written, with flat characters in an unconvincingly world. What's worst was the political structure - whenever the protagonist about to find something, someone from Judicial interrupt, leaving the mystery unsolved. They did it repeatedly, so much it was predictable. I watched the entire series and felt like back to square one, there was nothing we learned about the world of Silo.
Perhaps Apple tv wanted to keep viewers hanging for season 2, but what good if the first season was shit? They probably had no clue where their story led to while making it.
Bottom line - there are a lot more movies and shows to react to, don't waste time on this one.
@@tomarnold7284 Amazing: everything what you just said is wrong. Silo is based on a series of books, so they already knew where the story will go further.
And it has 8/10 on both IMDB and IGN.
I am so happy you two are seeing this with fresh eyes, the lore of the wasteland is amazing! The games will definitely be eye opening when you play them too!
You've been "enjoying the hell out of the show" and we've been enjoying the hell out your reactions 😬🤙🏾
*Even though you hate my boy Maximus 😋😋😋
Thank you guys for showing up. You guys are the best ❤️ Nah! Haha we don’t hate Max. Just guiding him like older siblings. Those are some dumb mistakes!
Maximus literally just makes the worst decision in every situation. I hate him so much, but I also respect their choice to include him. It feels like a character who put almost every single point into either endurance or luck, with intelligence, perception, and especially charisma being total dump stats. I'm sure he has some strength and agility to haul the weapons bags and to use the various weapons and power armor, but only exactly what he needs to qualify.
If he were in any other story at all, it would ruin the show for me, but if I just imagine that he is how someone who just wants to shoot their way through the game might behave, suddenly it all makes much more sense.
No spoilers but “Who cleaned up the vault?” is one of those questions which never gets answered explicitly. However, they give you a contextual clue at the very start of Episode 8. There’s an object which gives the clue but because it’s doing something completely different you don’t realize it at first.
@@M4TCH3SM4L0N3 kind of like building a campfire twice in the wasteland? Letting a stranger borrow your waterbottle? Trusting strangers on a bridge and then not pulling your gun while keeping your hands in the air? Etc. etc.
It seems like you need to invest in some INT and Perception yourself, bud. Lol #Hater
@@DeannaGilbert616 and how Moldaver survived!
PLEASE let us watch you play through whatever Fallout game/s you go through🙏
Ooofff that is such a cool idea, we would be totally up for that!
@@OfficialMediaKnights Fallout 76 even offers the possibility to play in MP so both of you can rock the world in some fancy power armor at the same time :D
In ep2 Max tells Lucy that he was sent to bring in Wilzig who is important.
Ep5 Lucy "concludes" Max is looking for the head too..
Audience: Lucy So Smart 😅
To be fair, she is being graded on a curve set by Maximus. Compared to his incompetence, she may as well be Batman.
@@M4TCH3SM4L0N3 That is true, regarding inteligence, she is way in front of him. He has other advantages though.
Also, the show is test of audience's perception (my comment is about that), doesn't spoon feed, almost no exposition, just show don't tell, and people just fail to pick up everything, thus in this case, confusing Lucy being diplomatic with being smart, cause here, she was already informed abou what Max is looking for..
@@elvisibra I mostly agree here, though I do think that her knowing he might be searching for the head is not necessarily a given - especially since he said his squire stole something, and she now knows the 'Golden rule' of the Wasteland (thou shalt get sidetracked every time), so it's not that much of a stretch that she might have believed it was unrelated.
Anyway, I think that her intelligence is better demonstrated by her encyclopedic knowledge that she is also able to apply in the wild.
@@M4TCH3SM4L0N3 She is definitely presuming that what Squire stole is the head, due to her knowing how important Wilizg is already, as Max told her almost a week ago. Audience confuses that with her being smart (connecting pieces of puzzle for the 1st time), while she is just reashuring herself while being diplomatic in order to strike a deal with this "Knight".
18:57 the thing is, they are lying about the purpose of the vault, but they haven't REALLY lied about the surface, as the people in the vaults only REALLY know history up until the first bombs dropped 200 years ago, at which point their ancestors were locked in vaults and away from the outside world... So they'd have no real way of knowing what's been going on.
We obviously find out that the folks in 31 know a bit more than that... But it's not like even they would have an accurate account of the surface goings-on.
I love the attention to detail and how they involve certain lore and plot points from the game. Their use of cryogenic freezing is so cool and adds a level of mystery to the Vaults because people could easily be thawed pre war individuals. I predict alot of flashbacks via character's like Betty, Steph, and Hank to reveal certain pre war info and events in season 2
After the trio Norm is the most interesting and fascinating character
No doubt you've been told this already, but the environment from the games is so rich, and this adaptation so faithful, that this show is DRIPPING with references to the games. I'd love to see your reaction coming in for the show first, and the games after, that'd be wild to see the setting flesh out in that order for you two.
You're both great. No brainer subscription.
Every single reaction I've seen of this episode has people upset over Maximus not revealing his real name to Lucy immediately.
From my perspective he was just honest with one person and it backfired.
The wasteland has proven to be a very sketchy place to live. If the wrong person knows you're not a knight they're more than likely going to kill you. (The same can be said if they know you're a knight.)
At least he can use his knight status as leverage in some situations. Which he ends up doing with Lucy.
With all that said it's clear the writer had stat points in mind when crafting these characters. Maximus is lucky, but he makes very stupid decisions.
Well, Norm finally has some enthusiasm.
You guys absolutely most positively need to watch Chef (2014)! One of my absolute favorite feel good movies of all time, I'm so so excited to see your reaction to that!
Now is when it starts getting Interesting . . cant wait for the rest
We are so excited to share the rest of our reactions, this show has been a blast!
I would recommend you start with part 3 then on to New Vegas and then part 4
If you are diving into the games, I would run with New Vegas and 4.
Keep in mind that these are old games but story wise, lore and world they are just amazing.
Enjoy and let us know what you think.
It's a shame we wont get to see your game adventures but its great that your going to do it. Your admiration for the show will grow massively once you realise just how much of the games have been put into the show without alienating the show for people who didn't play the games. The show really was masterfully made. I'd say more but spoilers.. loving your reaction so much.
That bridge scene is such a fallout moment 🔥
That was such a well directed scene!
I like that Luci who has not seen the inside of a vault since episode 1 is all like "It's okay, this is the safest place in the world"
But the viewers after 5 episodes of learning what's going on behind these vaults are like "Uhmmmmmmmmmmmmm..."
I just subcribed because out of all the reactions i have seen, you guys gave the mosr reasonable critique of Maximus' character. Everybody else is trashing him as a horrible guy because he is a coward and a liar... not giving grace because of the fact he has been in survival mode since he was 6ish? Everybody is not perfect and are products of their life experience and environments. Everybody CANT be a "hero" without flaw out the gate. Quite possible one of the most realistic character of the bunch...
Denise through clenched teeth “Just GO!” 😬😂
Love Lucy and this series. Game-wise, I'd suggest to start with Fallout 3.
Counting down to episode 8
oh neat 14:28 the color is coming back to her finger.
I'll watch you two play Fallout3/NewVegas/Fallout4 on stream (given the stream times are doable for us europeans)
@OfficialMediaKnights - This is the best reaction channel because you are fun, funny, entertaining, articulate, knowledgeable, and have an eye for detail. Clearly you have a love for film and your enthusiasm for a good production is contagious.
A year back I’ve seen that you guys did a trailer reaction on scream VI but actually you guys need to add it to your movie tracks it’s an awesome classic slasher movie 😁
You guys should stream your fallout playthrough, i'd love to see that
not gonna lie i would 100% watch the two of you play fallout.
These two look like brother and sister. Even have same facial expressions....
The guy who plays Norm was good in Ender's Game with his intensity, even if he was playing an a-hole in that movie. Also, the Brotherhood is basically against everyone that not part of them. They are not naturally hostile to others, but they only help their on interests and will blow away anyone seen to be in the way.
Betty: the raiders destroyed so much, but not our spirit...
Note the vault 32 died 2 years ago not by the raiders,
also during refurbishment they intentionally destroyed the terminal Norm saw and zsed ti find info about rhe raiders use hus mom's pipboy.
We buried her with your dad....
might be true remember episode 1? They took the fallen to the vault 33 compost room...
buried.... that means surface.
So now we also know at least one nuke went off 10-15 years ago, 200+ years after the original apocalypse...
Vote: obviously they can change fake results so their candidates from 31 win every time. Total control.
the plot thickens.
When you play FO4, you visit Good Neighbor and get your first good dialog between yourself and a ghoul.
I’m so ready! Thank you for uploading so consistently!🙏🏼🙌🏼
Yayyy we really hope you enjoy!! Thank you so much for the consistent support, it means the world to us!
Great reaction guys!
I know you've for sure seen this comment before, but yall should review Band of Brothers. Its produced by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks, and follows the experiences of Easy Company of the 101st Airborne through 10 episodes. Its truly legendary and worth the watch.
Thanks!
You guys need to watch into the storm you guys will love it
I love it when shows have that mystery aspect. This, Stranger Things, Attack on Titan, etc. The kind of show where they give you more questions than answers.
This show is wild
Fully understand the desire to jump into the games after watching the show, because that's what I did. I had never played a Fallout game before and simply chose to try Fallout 4. I'm a complete power armour junkie. I have over 80 sets of power armour.
6:25 Gucy lied about her name too
Was hoping you'd drop one tonight.
Don't worry, paranoia is a suitable reaction to have in this world!
You should check out another "Vault" series named Silo with Rebecca Ferguson. It is a more adult type thriller/mystery.
Norm has a high Perception and Intelligence build lol
i love how much of this series is inspired off the Clint Eastwood film "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly"
I don't know if you guys accept suggestions on youtube comments (and I'm sorry if it's not related to the topic of this video) but I really recomend Phonebooth, it's an amazing thriller full of suspence. It's one of the best movies I've seen and I think you might like it
While fiends in the game do eat people, they are a faction of raiders. They're name mostly comes from drug use though, not the cannibalism.
Is there a separate group that might have been used to fix up vault 32? Is there enough in 31 to fix it up we quickly?
The fact that it was spotless was creepy and very telling. Makes you think…what else have they been hiding!
Who cleaned up, well I would surmise Vault 31
I love t hat Blind Al is running for Vault 33 Overseer!!
The ncr are a big part of the western part of the wasteland. They are basically the government of the western coast. But after fallout new Vegas and the end of the show idk how much power they hold.
Enjoying the he'll outta you guys review 😂❤
Omg thank youuu, that makes us so happy to hear!!
Norm ends up been my favourite character after the Ghoul. Love the thriller on the side story
I started out not caring at ALL for Norm, but by this episode he's so much fun! Keep going guys!
How do I watch you guys play Fallout? Are you gonna make videos of it for TH-cam? Do you have a Twitch?
Definitely hope you enjoy the games. You have two potential jumping on points.
There's Fallout 1, which takes place in California and is done in the old top-down RPG style.
And then there's Fallout 3, which is a more modern first-person shooter style.
Either is good. Just thought I'd list your options because I don't know your preferred play styles.
Also, would recommend looking up a brief tutorial on hacking in Fallout. Just there are things that don't get mentioned and aren't immediately intuitive.
Have fun.
What a faces on preview... So strange
Oh, this episode's director also directed some of House of the Dragon.
15:37 the way to go about navigating world is simple lmao. Just follow the words of Russian Badger, “this wasteland belongs to me and the weak should fear the strong” 😂
The Media Knights, Subscribed because your content is fantastic!
Thank you! That truly means a lot ❤️
Try to remember Betty's statement about her and Hank burying Norm's mom together. I will say that much: She was kind of telling the truth...
It would be interesting playing Fallout for the first time AFTER watching the show and getting the references to the original in reverse…if that makes sense lol
If you ever have the chance, try viewing Duel (1971). It's a Spielberg film that not many people seem to heard about, from what I know. It's a great movie. It freaked me and my Dad out just watching it.
I highly highly recommend both New Vegas and Fallout 4... 3 is great but maybe too old now for some people to be able to enjoy, and 4 is a bit different but still gets a lot of environmental stuff right, and the weapons, combat, and power armor mechanics all feel great... people have mixed feelings on the settlement building aspect from 4, but it's really fun to explore locations straight outta the show... New Vegas was peak Fallout imo... maybe one day we'll get a remaster or something since it just feels a little old now, especially the graphics
Ok so if you're ok with older games that are a tad antiquated, but still damn good, either go with Fallout 1 or 2, both are on GOG. But for the modern ones, my personal ranking is Fallout: New Vegas, Fallout 3 and then Fallout 4. New Vegas can be a bit difficult to run, but it's very good. Fallout 3 has some of the best vaults and sidequest, but main story is so-so. Fallout 4 is the most accessible, but also the most mundane. Hope that helps. 😊
so something you may had miss cause you need to know the game Shady Sands and the California republic was very important site of the games.. it starts as a town in Fallout one and by Fallout New Vegas it become a whole Nation .. so finding out that it collapsed to ground hit hard for fans of the games.
And most of us are still trying to figure out how a nation that large and developed completely vanished in about 10 years. Specially considering this show takes place in the heart of NCR territory.
@@markcarpenter6020 not that it matters much, but it is more like 14 or so years after the bomb (assuming as confirmed that the events of New Vegas took place before the bomb dropped). Not surprising we see only small remnants of the NCR near the epicenter of the blast. In New Vegas, the NCR was in bad shape-filled with disgruntled citizens and corrupt politicians. Even if the NCR prevailed at the second battle of Hoover Dam-and they may have well lost-the destruction of Shady Sands would have been an existential crisis. Out of nowhere an unknown entity destroys the NCR’s most symbolically important city using a weapon that nearly destroyed the world 200 years earlier. An empire as fragile as the NCR would have difficulty recovering from such a demoralizing and terrifying event. Remnants or even successor states of the NCR likely exist to the North around the Hub, the Bay Area, and New Reno but only Moldaver and her fanatic followers aspire to rebuild the NCR in LA. Most everyone else fled the area allowing gangs like the “Governmint” to fight over what remains. While some countries and empires die slowly, others have collapsed with astounding speed. So, no, not surprised that the NCR could almost disappear from the small area actually explored in the show (which from the many hints in the show is a roughly triangular portion of LA with the Santa Monica Pier, Torrance (or perhaps Lawndale), and the Griffith Observatory at the three vertices).
@@ryanowens7085 the problem with that is not the NCR disappearing but civilization disappearing. The NCR had massive trading companies and well s light industry. Just because the NCR vanished doesn't mean merchants wealthy enough to hire mercenaries or the gun runners who literally had weapon factories would disappear. It just means they would support their own private armies. So where are they? Where are the Brahman barons? Why didn't any of those groups take control. Specially the crimson caravan. They would have used the fall of the NCR as a chance to seize more power and control. And as for the area around LA. Why didn't the Shi take it expanding from San Francisco?
@@markcarpenter6020 All interesting points and we could likely generate thousands of other questions we’d like answered but approximately eight hours of television is not necessarily the medium to info dump on all the economical and political implications of the Shady Sands bombing. The games are able to provide a much broader and deeper background through various lore dumps and allowing us to actually participate in making history through the games. Hopefully, subsequent seasons will give us a better picture into what the NCR has become. Otherwise, we have the long wait to Fallout V to answer our questions.
@@ryanowens7085 my point was there should be much more reminates of the NCR than we see. Specially considering the location of the show which is pretty much the heart of NCR territory.
Jurassic park next🎉
I would watch y’all play Fallout. The games will require a huge time investment. Personally, I would start with Fallout 3 if you intend to play through them since, for me, it still really holds up. I liked New Vegas, loved 4, and am currently spending a ton of time online in 76. On that note, you don’t need the earlier games to get a great Fallout experience. Fallout 76 is a great open world game with tons of interaction amongst players and all the building, crafting, mission running, and lore you could want. You can play pacifist mode or full PvP.
HEY GUYS! Any chance of you guys doing a video on the new fan made Wolverine short film "Logan the Wolf"? It's about a Wolverine variant in the Viking era. It's absolutely insane and brutal. Love the channel 👍

If that ain't politics in a nutshell
Facts!
I hope they stream the games.
I wonder if Betty is the Ghouls daughter. I've never played the game but that would be neat.
No Betty appears in a flashback of the Cooper Howard I believe in the last or second to last episode.
@@ghxstleader485 Ahhh. I mean spoiler alert you know.
Norm was Bozo in Enders Game. A real douche character. Totally believable as a mini tyrant. Great actor.
May I suggest that you both try the FO3 WITH ALL GAME CONSOLES DLC - NO PC MODS FROM DIFFERENT CREATORS - STICK WITH ORIGINAL CONTENT! BUT IN A PARTICULAR DLC IN FALLOUT 3 HAS THE TECHNOLOGY TO HEAL THE GHOULS FULLY BACK TO BEING HUMAN IT WOULD TAKE MONTHS BUT IT IS POSSIBLE TO SAVE COOPER THE COWBOY GHOUL AND THE OTHERS THAT LUCY SAVED IN THE BODY CHOP SHOP!!! SO PLAY FALLOUT 3 WITH ORIGINAL DLC AND ENJOY! DLC THAT CAN SAVE GHOULS IS - MOTHERSHIP ZEATA!!!!

"As soon as I finish Red Dead!"
- and other lies we tell ourselves, lol
for the games,.. start with the 3, then 4, then 76 if you want alot of lore,.. or just go to the 4 and ingore the rest if you want a challenge,.. but just watching playthroughs is enough for lore ,..76 lets you play with others but also exposes you to pvp,..
