The city at the end is "New Vegas"...for us Fallout fans that was AWESOME to see! ;) Fallout New vegas is THE best of the games for "story" :) Also Sinclair at the big table for "Big Mountain", is a character in New Vegas Dead money which IMHO is the very best computer game ever made (it's really deep, eerie and brutal), Big Mountain is another DLC for New Vegas a place where much of the insane and evil science experiments were started The skull at the end is a Deathclaw, the most brutal monster in the wasteland, created before the war to be used against soldiers in trenches in China, but the monsters got out
Moldaver was definitely a villain. She raided the vault, married Lucy to a Raider who almost killed her and could have done worse. She then had her journey through the wasteland to bring her the head. So much for being her mums friend/partner and the memories together. Moldaver was awful
Vault 31 was for junior management. Cooper's wife was senior management. She mentioned in an earlier episode that she wanted to get Cooper and Janey into a special vault that would oversee all other vaults. Speculation is that vault is in New Vegas.
@@fredwin hes one of the heads, and the vault 31-33 managment experiment was HIS. just like the other vaults experiments was decided by one of the other people in charge.
@@fredwinHe's a VP and oversees southern California operations, so he is high up. The real power, though, is in the observation area in the shadows (possibly Enclave).
A reactor wondered early on in the series if Rose was alive and I tried to make a teasing but non-spoiler joke about it but found myself getting surprisingly emotional about the subject. So I didn't, but also wow really good writing. I also love the acting from both Ella and Walton in the scene where Lucy picks up the gun. So good. Also big kudos to the makeup folks that preserved Walton's ability to show those subtle emotions.
@@soundofnellody262 Was kinda obvious for me as well. The second the camera focused directly on it/her when Lucy entered the room, I knew. Had they not hinted at the mother all season or kept focusing the camera on it, then maybe it wouldn't have been so obvious.
Great reaction guys! The code to activate the cold fusion was the release date of the original Fallout game. The town at the end is New Vegas, a favorite among Fallout gamers. It was released between Fallout 3 and Fallout 4 (the one I have played, multiple times). The skull at the end is a Deathclaw, one of the most powerful creatures in the series. Them showing the skull leads me to believe we will be seeing one in the next season. Remember, vault 31 is junior management, so Coops wife will not be there.
It’s interesting to note that Fallout New Vegas is mostly the story from the original unreleased Fallout 3 that never got finished because the ownership of the series changed over, making it the proper sequel to the first 2 games.
The place Hank goes to at the end is New Vegas, the end credits show a welcome to New Vegas sign to confirm, it’s also the setting for one of the games.
@@susah135 Is that not the common consensus among Fallout fans too? Maybe some like the OG style, but it definitely seems like the usual pick from the Bethesda era
@@LiquidusSnakeX Fallout 2 is way better than FONV, it's just that edgy fanboys use it at a crux against 3D Fallouts even though FONV still came from Zenimax and Bethesda. There will be no FONV without Fallout 3 and "good writing" can't change that.
@@JABelms They are COMPLETELY different games and can't be compared. Fallout 2 is great but has a lot of flaws and game breaking bugs even when patched. I lost my last save game right at the end due to a save corrupting because I put a grenade in the president's pocket and saved it before it detonated, literally blowing up my save file. Lat save was like 2 hrs back so I said fk it. Also Fallout NV was all Obsidian. All Bethesda did was provide the dev tools and publish the game.
Fun Fact from the games. Shady Sands was founded by the ancestor of the people of Vault 15. So basically Hank was killing the descendant of vault dwellers.
Hank may not of known but then again in his eyes it did represent a threat to the plans for his vaults so he probably would have bomb it anyway. That was the great flaw in Vault Tecs plans, by out sourcing their vaults to other companies they created groups of vaults with differing agendas and view points thereby creating the very factions they wanted to eliminate.
How did Moldaver live? 2 theories. First if you watch the ending cinematic you'll see a sign with the name of the place, but also a sign for an establishment that adverizes "cryo suites" suggesting a possible way out. However, it seems too coincidental to me that Moldaver's conspiracy meeting place was the "Hollywood Forever" funeral home, and I suspect that she and her allies were doing more than meetings. I think instead they were creating an alternative cryogenic preservation system there as a counter to VaultTec.
The Tops Casino doesn't make sense. The Vegas strip was run by Robert House the CEO of Robco. He was a major supplier for Vault Tec so I doubt he would be helping out somebody who is against Vault Tec.
@@crazyguy_1233 House wasn't onboard with all the psychopaths at vault tec and the enclave, he just saw the way the wind was blowing and thought he'd be safer if they thought he was on their side.
Both aren't the sharpest tools in the box, but that one had me rolling. He's impossibly dense. All of the reactors I watched already connected many or all the dots by that point, but these two must literally be spoon fed. Even then, it's not guaranteed that they'd get it.
10:24 I think that's the Ghoul that thanked her for letting them out in episode 4. 17:37 All these ideas are vaults in the games btw. 19:51 The raiders form episode 1 were probably also fugitives from Shady Sands and maybe saw all vault dwellers there in 31, 32 and 33 as the evil people who blew up their city. 36:14 And Moldaver was always against Vault-Tech and questioning their motives.
Here’s a real kicker: Shady Sands was founded by Vault Dwellers who came to the surface and used their resources to better people’s lives. So Hank, Mr corporate Vaulth Tech who is all about the mission , unknowingly destroyed a town that was the pinnacle of what his mission was meant to be
It was also both the seed and later the capital of the NCR, the closest thing to a working democratic state the post apocalypse world has seen so far, I'm expecting to see other remains like Moldaver's (I suppose that's the nom de guerre of Ms. Williams) since the NCR was a pretty large state... Also - I'm now slightly hyped to see which of the possible endings of Fallout: New Vegas turns to canon^^. Best regards Raoul G. Kunz
The NCR was far more than just Shady Sands, though, so my hope is that there are still remnant NCR settlements out there trying to keep the dream alive.
@@generalmortars7557 Mine as well. The NCR is truly the only hope the wastes have. As imperfect as it is (much like our current society), it is still the best possible choice.
@@karolswieboda1781 If you remember, in one of the earlier episodes it's announced that the water chip for Vault 33 was destroyed, and Moldaver mentions to Lucy in this episode that her mom discovered that Vault 33's water was being redirected elsewhere. If it turns out that the diverted water was needed to keep the cryotanks running then they'll all shut down on their own soo enough.
Season 2 would definitely make Norm escape the Vault using his hacking perk and go back to save those people in 32 after learning the truth, i think he will force the Buds Brain through hacking to talk to Betty through telegram and make her open the Vault to 32.
Gameplayers knew what city that was at the end scene and squealed in delight. The last episode was full of game lore and reveals. You won't appreciate it unless you've played the games. "War, war never changes" is the game's catchphrase and the scene with the big meeting was chef's kiss if you've played the games.
The best thing about episode 8 is how very very fallout it really is. It's a common theme for fallout to make you think one thing and then switch it up and reveal that it was always something else entirely, and episode 8 did that for the whole season... so fallout. Great season reaction, guys!
It seems you dont watch through the credits. Each episodes credit scenes give clues to the next episode. Watch the credit scene in the last episode and it will tell you what Hank was looking at.
When bud (brain version) tells Norm to get in the pod because there's no food besides the occasional big bug, I think Norm will realise that there has to be a way they get in from the outside and will go looking for that hole instead of getting in the pod, and probably escape to the surface that way.
I have watch the series over a dozen times and probably 50 reactions. One thing I have not seen anyone comment on Betty. One quote from her stands out for me. When she was talking to Norm about hid dad and the way he expeessed his anger "Be grateful you never had to witness it." She knew about shady sands. She talked about his words having power. She asked him to tread lightly... She knew he knew and she never unalived him... I think she found morality after witnessing what Hamk did to shady sands. I will bet you a beer that Betty saves Norm.
I love that subtitle. People who do subs really need to pay more actual attention to the show, so many times they put the name of a character in the subs before the character is actually introduced in speech.
I just started on your channel with these fallout reactions... and i just gotta say it's nice to have 2 reactors that are a couple where both actually have charisma. Its always one or the other. Yall are both normal and thoughtful. Not easy to find.
Great reaction! Can’t wait for season 2. There aren’t many new shows out there where it’s new, fresh and keeps the viewers engaged and guessing. They did a great job.
A vault can still operate even if they deviate from original experiment. Vault 4 for instance. Once the people found out they were being experimented on they took over the vault but continued the safe, peaceful living.
@@ganjahiwalker2641 is- all "crap" gear, like sturmweapons* and other bs like PA T-60 r from F4 (this bs is only in F4 with note 45%)... gear from FNV+ is ok but FNV has 84% in MC.
Interesting. I couldn’t quite figure out when this was taking place because it has so many details from all the games, for a bit I thought it was set before New Vegas.
Fallout New Vegas events took place in 2281, only 5 years earlier. That's why there was a big ka-fufle over the chalk board in episode 7, it looked like Shady Sands was nuked in 2277, before the New Vegas game.
"A good villain doesn't know he is a villain". Cooper says that in the show, but it fits with the game series characters as well. It's ALWAYS complicated, in the games. Nobody is fully good or fully evil, even the player character.
I don't think I would call Moldaver innocent. As we saw in the first episode she had innocent people killed in the vault, brutally. She was also leading Raiders. Who knows how many she ended all those years on the surface to bring her "vision" into being. She just has less blood on her hands than Hank or Vault Tec as a whole. (That we know of)
To paraphrase what Pudgey said, innocence isn't an option for the people surviving on the surface. I do think that the raid on Vault 33 in episode 1 makes less sense now because if all Moldaver wanted was Hank it seems that she and her gang could have grabbed him when the door first opened and before the Vault 33 people even knew what was happening. Why bother going through with the wedding and why would she let her raider try to kill Lucy who was the daughter of her dear friend Rose?
@@pollyparrot9447 Because that's what the Raiders expected? For whatever reason, she used them instead of any of her remaining NCR loyalists. They were probably promised blood and loot as payment. Maybe waiting until after the wedding was needed because they didn't bring weapons to avoid raising suspicion - they looted the armory. That's easier to do when you've become trusted guests. The rest of it, though - yeah, there was no way to know if Hank, Betty, or Steph would survive the raider attack. If getting one of Bud's bud's to give you the code was the goal, she definitely rolled the dice on it.
You are right. Also people get distracted: Hank, Rose, children, wife, VaultTec, Barb, bomb, nuke, blah blah.. Instead of asking important questions like: We saw Max hid inside fridge (Indiana Jones reference), so Max, or who ever in Shady Sands, knew about "the bomb"?? Otherwise would not have time even to react. So was it a nuke, or conventional battle? And either way: who did it and why? Was it a nuclear reactor/test gone wrong??
@@gork8468 Raiders were used as cannon fodder. None of them left with her, those were NCR soldiers, you can tell by their mannerisms, they acted like soldiers not loose, raging raiders. She sealed the entrance with the bomb to make sure the raider survivors didn't escape and left them for the Vault 33 people to deal with.
@@CollideFan1 Her force got overpowered, that is why she abandoned raiders (and some soldiers, as we saw normal prisoners too, while had only 4 soldiers with her in the end). She staged hostage situstion to draw Hank (target) and as her way out.
Maximus has already saved Lucy's life twice - from the Ghoul's bullet, and from the fiends. Actually one more time from radiation poisoning. So without him her life would be over and her mission would ended up there. Only one who makes no mistakes is the one who does nothing.
My favourite retroactive reveal was something Betty said to Norm a couple episodes earlier. “We buried your mother. Me and your father”. Ya you nuked her and she was not fortunate enough to die immediately.
Fun fact, Fallout 4 has a vault 111 which purpose is to test cryogenic statis on live subjects, I like to believe that before the important guys got frozen they first waited until the results from 111 came to see how save it would be to do so. Fallout 4 main character is from vault 111 so I'm looking forward to any reference to this vault next season.
Next season is gunna be in New Vagas. Same location as the game Fallout New Vegas. One of the people in the round table flashbacks is an antagonist from the game. This is probably after the game.
I will say I haven't gotten to the actual reaction of the vid itself yet but I totally agree with spacing things out instead of just fully watching it at launch. I really enjoy watching you guys so I've watched this show through you guys because I wasn't too interested in it to the point I felt like sitting down for hours and hours to watch it, so being able to see your theories whilst also coming up with my own since I haven't seen the show yet DEFINITELY makes the difference. Love the vids and the vibe you guys have plus I cannot wait for June 13th for the new season of the boys and to see you guys react to that as well Love from America
The ghoul who said 'its her' when Lucy entered the NCR compound was I think one of the ghouls she released from the organ harvesting supermart, the one who said thankyou as he ran out.
Thank you both, that was a incedible good reaction, I had a lot of fun with you and I'm looking forward to the wild ride that awaits us in season 2. (and I'm hoping for a weekly release too)
The only thing I hear when watching these two aussies... Spartan: Yeaah, Yeaah, Yeaah, Yeaah, Yeaah, Yeaah, Yeaah, Yeaah Pudgey: Yeaah, Yeaah, Yeaah, Yeaah, Yeaah, Yeaah, Yeaah
Totally agree with you guys on the weekly release vs bingeing issue - weekly spaced out releases are a far more satisfying experience and definitely generates much more of a community feel, and I think less trolling
I think the central point during your intro is valid. A higher moral compass is easier to maintain when it isn't challenged by the instinct to survive. Lots of puzzle pieces put together by this episode. I think that what happened in vault 32 was a civil war. They found out they were part of a big fu**ed up experiment and all hell broke loose. The question (among others) that I have, is whether Moldaver knew of the demise of 32, before she used Rose's Pip Boy to enter. How? Did someone leave and tell her? This episode contained 3 of my favorite lines in the series. And that's saying something because the series is full of great ones. In order of 3rd to 1st. Lucy"s "Okey-Dokey" it stood in direct contrast to episode 1 where it was chirpy and spirited. Now it's filled with dark resolve and anguish. 😥 2nd was Coop saying "or you can come and meet your makers" This was not a metaphor, he literally means your makers. It gives Lucy a new purpose. Her purpose may still be to get her dad, but for an entirely different reason. And the final and best line also goes to The Ghoul...who else? When out of the shadows you hear him say "you want another autograph, young Henry" WOW! did I like that moment! Hank was young when they first met. And now he has currently only aged 30 or so years. Where The Ghoul is around 250(?) or so years. Hank is but a child to him in years and his addressing him as a child was a super cool moment. Looking forward to season 2 😁😁😁😁
I enjoyed your Fallout reaction videos. I believe what Norm and Chet found in vault 32 was the end result of a mutiny/revolt against the overseer. The rebels somehow discovered what was going on with vault 31 and Management. I don't think anyone hung themselves outside the overseer's office. They were either rebels hung by the overseer's supporters or overseer's supporters hung by the rebels. I think the rebels were winning and the overseer activated a failsafe which released a nerve gas in the vault killing everyone remaining. As for Moldaver, cyro chambers are not unigue to Vault-Tec so she might have been in cryo. Also, cloning is a thing in the Fallout universe. In Fallout 4, we find out about (and use) memory loungers. The tech behind those could possibly allow a mind/memories from the original to be implanted in the "blank mind" of the clone. I hope we get more on her story in season 2. I don't think Norm will go into the cyropod, at least not without checking his other options. Lucy is now travelling with someone who can actually tell her about the last 200 years. It will be interesting if she learns she grew up watching his movies, or if she realizes that Coop's new trigger finger used to be her finger. Will he be The Ghoul to her or will she be the first person in a couple of hundred years to call him Coop or Mr. Howard. Second season can't get here soon enough.
I can think of one good reason for Lucy to go back into the Vault: her brother is still inside, not to mention everyone else. And we know (though she doesn't) that Norm needs rescuing. The only person I could imagine possibly rising up to help Norm is Chet, but Chet won't even know that Norm has gone missing because Chet is in Vault 32 now. And also... I feel like there's a very good chance that Cooper's wife and daughter are in cryo in Vault 31.
Norm does have a way to escape - sabotage the cryopods forcing the remaining managers to exit them. Bud would have to open the doors to let them go to vaults 32 & 33 to survive. Vault 31 was for Junior execs who where part of "Bud's Buds", Barb was a Senior Exec, they had their own "special" Vault.
I was surprised that we didn't get a scene between Cooper & Moldevar considering their interaction in the past.🤔That was the same ghoul outside the observatory that thanked Lucy for letting him go at the Supa Dupa Mart. If you want to see more from Ella Purnell (lucy) you should react to the showtime series 'Yelllowjackets. Maximus probably thinks that Hank Took Lucy from the observatory.
From the games we know those are not the only cyro pods. The ghouls family is probably not in 31. He is probably in vault 1 or whatever vault oversees them all. The place at the end is new Vegas. From the corporate meeting Robert house was there he was in the game fallout new Vegas, so that's probably who hank is going to talk to and who the ghoul will end up confronting to ask where his family is. As for moldavor, she had a lot 9f money so probably had a personal shelter with her own cyro set to wake her up
Severance needs to be added to your list. Season two coming this fall. One of the best first seasons of a show I’ve ever seen. Lots of mystery you two will love. And it’s directed by Ben Stiller, 9 episodes in season 1. It’s worth it.
100% correct about pacing the release of episodes. Many will state (correctly, IMO) that reaction videos started with Game of Thrones (e.g. Burlington Bar) and the community engagement that developed around it was through the roof, especially with anticipation. You just can't get that anymore.
The best finale to one of the best TV series ever made ^_^ Can't wait for the second season! Lucy's "Okey Dokey" is so different here, so dark. The background music is cellos.
The worst part about what happened to Shady Sands is the fact that it was founded by Vault 15. The NCR was the result of Vault Tec and it was supposed to be the new government. The NCR spread through most of the western U.S. from the Pacific to the Colorado river. Their government was based on the U.S. government. They had their own economy, their own army. They had train lines cities and more. The NCR was Vault Tecs plan for retaking the U.S. They were rebuilding the country. Hank's actions killed thousands and ruined the very mission he was supposed to help with. The city in the end is Las Vegas renamed New Vegas. Its the only city that wasn't hit by the bombs because Mr. House CEO of Robco had an anti missile defense system built to defend the strip. The NCR came across it and they made an alliance with House to defend the strip and he could maintain complete control over the New Vegas strip.
Awesome reactions. I've been playing Fallout since Fallout 3. At the end the city that Hank was looking at is New Vegas. Makes me wonder if the show will take them to Washington DC and Boston eventually. Would be cool.
You guys should also give Yellowjackets a watch, it's a mystery thriller type of show, there's 2 seasons already with a 3rd on the way. It also has Lucy (Ella Purnell) as a main character in that too.
If you have been paying attention, which I doubt about your reaction, then you will have noticed that there was still a big unknown present in the background at the big meeting. The woman from the ghoul looked at this person before she spoke. That means everything she said, she said on behalf of him. This means that she does not necessarily have to agree with what she said. Maybe it just looks like that. Furthermore, Ghul's wife does not have to be frozen in 31, because as we have learned, there are several 3-man bunkers and in each 3-man bunker one of them is a overseer bunker. 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. 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
Every time they call The Ghoul "Cooper" I get confused, because "Cooper" is the name of Kyle MacLachlan (who here plays Hank, Lucy's dad) in Twin Peaks.
There was a series called "DeathLands" from back in the 1980s...wasn't exactly the same, but was basically about the aftermath of a nuclear war and the craziness that prospered...similar venue of little redoubts that would either just rule like mini tycoons, or experiments similar to the vaults but not quite as structured....was an interesting bit of pulp fiction...dumb stories but was entertaining in a serial tv show kind of thing...
There was also a paper and pencil RPG called The Morrow Project from the early 1980s that explored playing in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. I remember playing it. It was a popular topic in the height of the cold war.
@@MattLathrum Nice, I came up during the late 70's / 80's with the age of "D&D is da debil" type thing...I didn't have any friends that did much live people D&D, so whether it is or isn't da debil never really came up much...but cool :O
My best phrase/say on this show was when Lucy woke up and that scientists and dog meat 🐕 was there and he told her that when she reach the end of the journey if she will still want the same things as she wanted at the beginning, the the whole father thing happens..... And war, war never changes.
The irony is that the population of Shady Sands are descendants of Vault 15. Hank didn't knew it, but he attacked a Vault that opened prior to his... Fallout world is a dark one.
The problem with your release schedule is do they release it one week at a time when "you guys are ready " or when others are ready. Ya'll were late to the party, which is fine...but no matter how they release it, someone is always going to be playing catch up and viewing it later, which would mean that even then all the episodes could have potentially been released. If people prefer the one episode a week, just control yourself and only watch one episode a week. For myself, I have lots on my plate and prefer the full season release which allows me to ability to watch it at my leisure and move on. To each their own.
In the games, China beat Vault-Tec in dropping the bombs. Also, in Fallout 4 you can create your own vault (Vault 88), including experiments on unsuspecting settlers.
I hope they do weekly for season 2 as well. I feel like they dropped S1 all at once cause they felt they had to “prove” themselves to people, like, “hey our show’s good, here watch all of it at once” and now that ppl are foaming at the mouth for S2 (me, I’m people) I’m so sure they’re gonna do a slow release But I wanna be able to each week come to work and be like “anybody else watch fallout yesterday? :D” instead of having to be like “anybody watched any of it?”
This finale was masterful. It tied nearly everything up so... just so damned well. My only question is why the ghoul asked "Where's my ****ing family, when his daughter was with him on the horse when the bombs fell, and (assumedly) turned him into a ghoul. I could understand if he asked where his wife was, but he should know what happened to his daughter.
I think that his wife took her daughter with her, especially since she talked at the meeting about how to secure the future and safety of her daughter. I don't think she will leave her on the surface.
I’m guessing Hank is going to New Vegas, you see a sign at the end. It’s another settlement of survivors. Vault 32 figured out they were being used as an experiment that was controlled by vault 31, ie breeding stock for vault 33 - they killed there overseer and pretty much went mad killing themselves rather than be part of the experiment. Its unclear why they did this instead of leave the vault, perhaps they still believed outside was unsafe or simply realising there whole lives had been a complete lie was just too much to deal with.
I really enjoyed rewatching the series through your eyes. Guessing you figured it out, but the last city you see is New Vegas but a nuked version of New Vegas.
I semi-binged Fallout. I didn't watch it all at once, but I watched 3-4 episodes at a time. The fact that they released the entire season at once is actually my only real criticism of the show, because I agree that it would have been better with weekly releases. Fallout generated a ton of buzz as is, but can you imagine how much more buzz there would have been if it was a weekly release and everyone was talking about all of their theories in between episodes?
What a finale! completely mind blown with these plot twists and looking forward to exploring more next season!

The city at the end is "New Vegas"...for us Fallout fans that was AWESOME to see! ;)
Fallout New vegas is THE best of the games for "story" :)
Also Sinclair at the big table for "Big Mountain", is a character in New Vegas Dead money which IMHO is the very best computer game ever made (it's really deep, eerie and brutal), Big Mountain is another DLC for New Vegas a place where much of the insane and evil science experiments were started
The skull at the end is a Deathclaw, the most brutal monster in the wasteland, created before the war to be used against soldiers in trenches in China, but the monsters got out
if yall enjoyed this series, you need to go check out ‘Westworld’ 🤠🤖 same show runners & Ramin Djawadi that did the music for Thrones
That is vegas
Moldaver was definitely a villain. She raided the vault, married Lucy to a Raider who almost killed her and could have done worse.
She then had her journey through the wasteland to bring her the head.
So much for being her mums friend/partner and the memories together. Moldaver was awful
@@ImRonDurden She wasn't a villain, but wasn't good either. She went a bad direction to do a good thing.
Vault 31 was for junior management. Cooper's wife was senior management. She mentioned in an earlier episode that she wanted to get Cooper and Janey into a special vault that would oversee all other vaults. Speculation is that vault is in New Vegas.

Lucy's mom reveal as a ghoul was so heartbreaking... 💔 Okey Dokey 😭
A reactor wondered early on in the series if Rose was alive and I tried to make a teasing but non-spoiler joke about it but found myself getting surprisingly emotional about the subject. So I didn't, but also wow really good writing. I also love the acting from both Ella and Walton in the scene where Lucy picks up the gun. So good. Also big kudos to the makeup folks that preserved Walton's ability to show those subtle emotions.
Moms do be like that.
Somehow I knew it was her mom as soon as they had shown her. So sad :(
@@soundofnellody262 Was kinda obvious for me as well. The second the camera focused directly on it/her when Lucy entered the room, I knew. Had they not hinted at the mother all season or kept focusing the camera on it, then maybe it wouldn't have been so obvious.
Great reaction guys! The code to activate the cold fusion was the release date of the original Fallout game. The town at the end is New Vegas, a favorite among Fallout gamers. It was released between Fallout 3 and Fallout 4 (the one I have played, multiple times). The skull at the end is a Deathclaw, one of the most powerful creatures in the series. Them showing the skull leads me to believe we will be seeing one in the next season. Remember, vault 31 is junior management, so Coops wife will not be there.
It’s interesting to note that Fallout New Vegas is mostly the story from the original unreleased Fallout 3 that never got finished because the ownership of the series changed over, making it the proper sequel to the first 2 games.
So what vault where will coop family will be in ? If you had to guess ??
@@TheRealD-Trigga I remember there being a Vault 34 in Vegas, but I don't remember the story behind it. Maybe?
And Robert House/Mr. House/RobCo is kind of huge to the lore as well
@@TheRealD-Trigga
Vault 21 under the Strip. That's why Mr. House filled it with concrete.
The place Hank goes to at the end is New Vegas, the end credits show a welcome to New Vegas sign to confirm, it’s also the setting for one of the games.
Fallout New Vegas is considered by many gamers as the best Fallout game. But the fans, oh my god, they're so toxic lol
@@susah135 FONV is def the best because of the fact that Bethesda can't write for shit.
@@susah135 Is that not the common consensus among Fallout fans too? Maybe some like the OG style, but it definitely seems like the usual pick from the Bethesda era
@@LiquidusSnakeX Fallout 2 is way better than FONV, it's just that edgy fanboys use it at a crux against 3D Fallouts even though FONV still came from Zenimax and Bethesda. There will be no FONV without Fallout 3 and "good writing" can't change that.
@@JABelms They are COMPLETELY different games and can't be compared. Fallout 2 is great but has a lot of flaws and game breaking bugs even when patched. I lost my last save game right at the end due to a save corrupting because I put a grenade in the president's pocket and saved it before it detonated, literally blowing up my save file. Lat save was like 2 hrs back so I said fk it.
Also Fallout NV was all Obsidian. All Bethesda did was provide the dev tools and publish the game.
The code for the cold fusion, 101097, is the release date of the first Fallout ^^
Fun Fact from the games. Shady Sands was founded by the ancestor of the people of Vault 15. So basically Hank was killing the descendant of vault dwellers.
Hank may not of known but then again in his eyes it did represent a threat to the plans for his vaults so he probably would have bomb it anyway. That was the great flaw in Vault Tecs plans, by out sourcing their vaults to other companies they created groups of vaults with differing agendas and view points thereby creating the very factions they wanted to eliminate.
@@spanners7343 I am sure he never investigated. Saw Shady Sands and hit them just to win the game.
He knew but didn't care. They were in the way.
How did Moldaver live? 2 theories. First if you watch the ending cinematic you'll see a sign with the name of the place, but also a sign for an establishment that adverizes "cryo suites" suggesting a possible way out. However, it seems too coincidental to me that Moldaver's conspiracy meeting place was the "Hollywood Forever" funeral home, and I suspect that she and her allies were doing more than meetings. I think instead they were creating an alternative cryogenic preservation system there as a counter to VaultTec.
The Tops Casino doesn't make sense. The Vegas strip was run by Robert House the CEO of Robco. He was a major supplier for Vault Tec so I doubt he would be helping out somebody who is against Vault Tec.
@@crazyguy_1233 House wasn't onboard with all the psychopaths at vault tec and the enclave, he just saw the way the wind was blowing and thought he'd be safer if they thought he was on their side.
The skyline at the end is "New Vegas", Fallout: New Vegas was a 2010 video game.
Probably better for blind watchers to not know until season 2

All of the reactors I watched already connected many or all the dots by that point, but these two must literally be spoon fed. Even then, it's not guaranteed that they'd get it.
@@lethalchocobo1886 yeah its why they are some of my favorite reactors, its like haveing two 4 year olds wath a show with you.
10:24 I think that's the Ghoul that thanked her for letting them out in episode 4.
17:37 All these ideas are vaults in the games btw.
19:51 The raiders form episode 1 were probably also fugitives from Shady Sands and maybe saw all vault dwellers there in 31, 32 and 33 as the evil people who blew up their city.
36:14 And Moldaver was always against Vault-Tech and questioning their motives.
Here’s a real kicker: Shady Sands was founded by Vault Dwellers who came to the surface and used their resources to better people’s lives.
So Hank, Mr corporate Vaulth Tech who is all about the mission , unknowingly destroyed a town that was the pinnacle of what his mission was meant to be
It was also both the seed and later the capital of the NCR, the closest thing to a working democratic state the post apocalypse world has seen so far, I'm expecting to see other remains like Moldaver's (I suppose that's the nom de guerre of Ms. Williams) since the NCR was a pretty large state...
Also - I'm now slightly hyped to see which of the possible endings of Fallout: New Vegas turns to canon^^.
Best regards
Raoul G. Kunz
The NCR was far more than just Shady Sands, though, so my hope is that there are still remnant NCR settlements out there trying to keep the dream alive.
@@generalmortars7557 Mine as well. The NCR is truly the only hope the wastes have. As imperfect as it is (much like our current society), it is still the best possible choice.
@@generalmortars7557 Todd Howard already confirmed that the NCR still exists in other areas.
I think he VERY knowingly destroyed it. Sure it was the goal of his mission, but it wasn't THEM in charge.
Theres no way Norm got in a cryo. Norm has the hacker perk.
He could threaten to turn off the life supports to the pods
There is no way Norm ever gets into a pod, where is the plot in that, they will probably be all woken up, that should make things spicier.
@@karolswieboda1781 If you remember, in one of the earlier episodes it's announced that the water chip for Vault 33 was destroyed, and Moldaver mentions to Lucy in this episode that her mom discovered that Vault 33's water was being redirected elsewhere. If it turns out that the diverted water was needed to keep the cryotanks running then they'll all shut down on their own soo enough.
@@GOffUnit thanks, I didn't connect those dots
Season 2 would definitely make Norm escape the Vault using his hacking perk and go back to save those people in 32 after learning the truth, i think he will force the Buds Brain through hacking to talk to Betty through telegram and make her open the Vault to 32.
Gameplayers knew what city that was at the end scene and squealed in delight. The last episode was full of game lore and reveals. You won't appreciate it unless you've played the games. "War, war never changes" is the game's catchphrase and the scene with the big meeting was chef's kiss if you've played the games.
Lucy said in one of the first episodes that she believed the sun on the sky was real when she was 6. Well, she was not wrong :)
The best thing about episode 8 is how very very fallout it really is. It's a common theme for fallout to make you think one thing and then switch it up and reveal that it was always something else entirely, and episode 8 did that for the whole season... so fallout. Great season reaction, guys!
The ghoul in the observatory farming area was one of the ones Lucy freed from the Super Duper Mart
It seems you dont watch through the credits. Each episodes credit scenes give clues to the next episode. Watch the credit scene in the last episode and it will tell you what Hank was looking at.
When bud (brain version) tells Norm to get in the pod because there's no food besides the occasional big bug, I think Norm will realise that there has to be a way they get in from the outside and will go looking for that hole instead of getting in the pod, and probably escape to the surface that way.
Yeah, robobrain Bud mentioning "BIG bugs" wasn't just a coincidence. The fact that Norm is a small guy practically confirms this.
Norm is also a skilled hacker, who may be able to do an end-run around Bud-Brain's control. Or maybe a little of both?
I have watch the series over a dozen times and probably 50 reactions.
One thing I have not seen anyone comment on Betty. One quote from her stands out for me. When she was talking to Norm about hid dad and the way he expeessed his anger "Be grateful you never had to witness it."
She knew about shady sands. She talked about his words having power. She asked him to tread lightly... She knew he knew and she never unalived him...
I think she found morality after witnessing what Hamk did to shady sands.
I will bet you a beer that Betty saves Norm.
As a fan of the games, this series & episode was awesome. One of my favorite things was the subtitle “Brain on Roomba” to describe Bud’s brain lmao
I love that subtitle. People who do subs really need to pay more actual attention to the show, so many times they put the name of a character in the subs before the character is actually introduced in speech.
The city in the last scene is New Vegas, used to be ruled by the man from RobCo in the secret meeting
I just started on your channel with these fallout reactions... and i just gotta say it's nice to have 2 reactors that are a couple where both actually have charisma.
Its always one or the other.
Yall are both normal and thoughtful. Not easy to find.
Great reaction! Can’t wait for season 2. There aren’t many new shows out there where it’s new, fresh and keeps the viewers engaged and guessing. They did a great job.
A vault can still operate even if they deviate from original experiment. Vault 4 for instance. Once the people found out they were being experimented on they took over the vault but continued the safe, peaceful living.

Yesss he was mine too! Him and Chet kept me the most interested with their storyline. Not that the others were bad, show was great
I would love to see him become an adventurer/hacker in season two. New Vegas should have lots of terminals that need to be hacked. 😉
Hopefully he is rescued and we get to see him escape the vault and go out into the wasteland!
That's New Vegas, you were looking at. There is a Fallout game called New Vegas, but show's this story line takes place long after New Vegas game.
Interesting. I couldn’t quite figure out when this was taking place because it has so many details from all the games, for a bit I thought it was set before New Vegas.
Fallout New Vegas events took place in 2281, only 5 years earlier. That's why there was a big ka-fufle over the chalk board in episode 7, it looked like Shady Sands was nuked in 2277, before the New Vegas game.
"A good villain doesn't know he is a villain". Cooper says that in the show, but it fits with the game series characters as well. It's ALWAYS complicated, in the games. Nobody is fully good or fully evil, even the player character.
I don't think I would call Moldaver innocent. As we saw in the first episode she had innocent people killed in the vault, brutally. She was also leading Raiders. Who knows how many she ended all those years on the surface to bring her "vision" into being. She just has less blood on her hands than Hank or Vault Tec as a whole. (That we know of)
To paraphrase what Pudgey said, innocence isn't an option for the people surviving on the surface. I do think that the raid on Vault 33 in episode 1 makes less sense now because if all Moldaver wanted was Hank it seems that she and her gang could have grabbed him when the door first opened and before the Vault 33 people even knew what was happening. Why bother going through with the wedding and why would she let her raider try to kill Lucy who was the daughter of her dear friend Rose?
@@pollyparrot9447 Because that's what the Raiders expected? For whatever reason, she used them instead of any of her remaining NCR loyalists. They were probably promised blood and loot as payment. Maybe waiting until after the wedding was needed because they didn't bring weapons to avoid raising suspicion - they looted the armory. That's easier to do when you've become trusted guests.
The rest of it, though - yeah, there was no way to know if Hank, Betty, or Steph would survive the raider attack. If getting one of Bud's bud's to give you the code was the goal, she definitely rolled the dice on it.
You are right. Also people get distracted: Hank, Rose, children, wife, VaultTec, Barb, bomb, nuke, blah blah..
Instead of asking important questions like: We saw Max hid inside fridge (Indiana Jones reference), so Max, or who ever in Shady Sands, knew about "the bomb"?? Otherwise would not have time even to react. So was it a nuke, or conventional battle? And either way: who did it and why? Was it a nuclear reactor/test gone wrong??
@@gork8468 Raiders were used as cannon fodder. None of them left with her, those were NCR soldiers, you can tell by their mannerisms, they acted like soldiers not loose, raging raiders. She sealed the entrance with the bomb to make sure the raider survivors didn't escape and left them for the Vault 33 people to deal with.
@@CollideFan1 Her force got overpowered, that is why she abandoned raiders (and some soldiers, as we saw normal prisoners too, while had only 4 soldiers with her in the end). She staged hostage situstion to draw Hank (target) and as her way out.
Fun fact: The code that Hank gives to activate the old fusion (101097) was the release date for the original Fallout game (10/10/1997)
Maximus screws it up literally every time he tries to help. He's like Mr Magoo.
it's like he has the idiot savant perk
Maximus was honoring the promise he made in episode 5. He would bring some knights and help her rescue her dad.
Maximus has already saved Lucy's life twice - from the Ghoul's bullet, and from the fiends. Actually one more time from radiation poisoning. So without him her life would be over and her mission would ended up there. Only one who makes no mistakes is the one who does nothing.
31:50 had me thinking I was in a Final Destination movie or something, with the editing 😅
My favourite retroactive reveal was something Betty said to Norm a couple episodes earlier.
“We buried your mother. Me and your father”.
Ya you nuked her and she was not fortunate enough to die immediately.
Fun fact, Fallout 4 has a vault 111 which purpose is to test cryogenic statis on live subjects, I like to believe that before the important guys got frozen they first waited until the results from 111 came to see how save it would be to do so. Fallout 4 main character is from vault 111 so I'm looking forward to any reference to this vault next season.
the nose edit at 10:38 had me dying of laughter omg😂😂😂😂
I like the irony of Maximus' ending- he finally got what he originally wanted... just when he didn't want it anymore. Beautifully poetic.
So much fun watching Fallout with you two. Thanks for taking us along! Will be agony waiting for season two.

Pudgey gets kicked into a pit at the beginning of every episode but she always has a smile on her face.
I wish they would change that animation - it looks like spousal abuse.
@@okabayashijoeHardly
Next season is gunna be in New Vagas. Same location as the game Fallout New Vegas. One of the people in the round table flashbacks is an antagonist from the game. This is probably after the game.
I will say I haven't gotten to the actual reaction of the vid itself yet but I totally agree with spacing things out instead of just fully watching it at launch. I really enjoy watching you guys so I've watched this show through you guys because I wasn't too interested in it to the point I felt like sitting down for hours and hours to watch it, so being able to see your theories whilst also coming up with my own since I haven't seen the show yet DEFINITELY makes the difference.
Love the vids and the vibe you guys have plus I cannot wait for June 13th for the new season of the boys and to see you guys react to that as well
Love from America
The ghoul who said 'its her' when Lucy entered the NCR compound was I think one of the ghouls she released from the organ harvesting supermart, the one who said thankyou as he ran out.
It was fun watching this series with you guys!
Thank you both, that was a incedible good reaction, I had a lot of fun with you and I'm looking forward to the wild ride that awaits us in season 2. (and I'm hoping for a weekly release too)
Can't believe its the finale already!! Your reactions to this has been amazing 😍 i watch my husband react to the game and its amazing!!
The only thing I hear when watching these two aussies...
Spartan: Yeaah, Yeaah, Yeaah, Yeaah, Yeaah, Yeaah, Yeaah, Yeaah
Pudgey: Yeaah, Yeaah, Yeaah, Yeaah, Yeaah, Yeaah, Yeaah
"How did Titus die?"
"Like a B@%&!!"
Totally agree with you guys on the weekly release vs bingeing issue - weekly spaced out releases are a far more satisfying experience and definitely generates much more of a community feel, and I think less trolling
absolutely loved following your watch of this season can’t wait to follow for season 2!!
I liked his whole reaction series from yall, I'm subbing.
I definitely agree that streaming shows get a LOT more feeling of community with viewers when they release episodes weekly.
Only now I've realised that the robot brain.... is the dude who is chairing the vault tec meeting in the flashback.
I had a blast with the show to, so many reveals and shockers. Season 2 can't get here soon enough, if we are ever getting a season 2.
Binging is best. Its like an extended movie. If you want to wait week by week, no ones stopping you.
I think the central point during your intro is valid. A higher moral compass is easier to maintain when it isn't challenged by the instinct to survive.
Lots of puzzle pieces put together by this episode. I think that what happened in vault 32 was a civil war. They found out they were part of a big fu**ed up experiment and all hell broke loose.
The question (among others) that I have, is whether Moldaver knew of the demise of 32, before she used Rose's Pip Boy to enter. How? Did someone leave and tell her?
This episode contained 3 of my favorite lines in the series. And that's saying something because the series is full of great ones.
In order of 3rd to 1st.
Lucy"s "Okey-Dokey" it stood in direct contrast to episode 1 where it was chirpy and spirited. Now it's filled with dark resolve and anguish. 😥
2nd was Coop saying "or you can come and meet your makers" This was not a metaphor, he literally means your makers. It gives Lucy a new purpose. Her purpose may still be to get her dad, but for an entirely different reason.
And the final and best line also goes to The Ghoul...who else? When out of the shadows you hear him say "you want another autograph, young Henry" WOW! did I like that moment! Hank was young when they first met. And now he has currently only aged 30 or so years. Where The Ghoul is around 250(?) or so years.
Hank is but a child to him in years and his addressing him as a child was a super cool moment.
Looking forward to season 2 😁😁😁😁
I enjoyed your Fallout reaction videos.
I believe what Norm and Chet found in vault 32 was the end result of a mutiny/revolt against the overseer. The rebels somehow discovered what was going on with vault 31 and Management. I don't think anyone hung themselves outside the overseer's office. They were either rebels hung by the overseer's supporters or overseer's supporters hung by the rebels. I think the rebels were winning and the overseer activated a failsafe which released a nerve gas in the vault killing everyone remaining.
As for Moldaver, cyro chambers are not unigue to Vault-Tec so she might have been in cryo. Also, cloning is a thing in the Fallout universe. In Fallout 4, we find out about (and use) memory loungers. The tech behind those could possibly allow a mind/memories from the original to be implanted in the "blank mind" of the clone. I hope we get more on her story in season 2.
I don't think Norm will go into the cyropod, at least not without checking his other options.
Lucy is now travelling with someone who can actually tell her about the last 200 years. It will be interesting if she learns she grew up watching his movies, or if she realizes that Coop's new trigger finger used to be her finger. Will he be The Ghoul to her or will she be the first person in a couple of hundred years to call him Coop or Mr. Howard.
Second season can't get here soon enough.
The city you see in the last scene is "New Vegas" from the game "Fallout: New Vegas". A little tease for those who played the game :)
I can think of one good reason for Lucy to go back into the Vault: her brother is still inside, not to mention everyone else. And we know (though she doesn't) that Norm needs rescuing.
The only person I could imagine possibly rising up to help Norm is Chet, but Chet won't even know that Norm has gone missing because Chet is in Vault 32 now.
And also... I feel like there's a very good chance that Cooper's wife and daughter are in cryo in Vault 31.
Norm does have a way to escape - sabotage the cryopods forcing the remaining managers to exit them. Bud would have to open the doors to let them go to vaults 32 & 33 to survive.
Vault 31 was for Junior execs who where part of "Bud's Buds", Barb was a Senior Exec, they had their own "special" Vault.
War.. , war never changes.
32:34 Just Hank on!
I was surprised that we didn't get a scene between Cooper & Moldevar considering their interaction in the past.🤔That was the same ghoul outside the observatory that thanked Lucy for letting him go at the Supa Dupa Mart. If you want to see more from Ella Purnell (lucy) you should react to the showtime series 'Yelllowjackets. Maximus probably thinks that Hank Took Lucy from the observatory.
Norm could just threaten to destroy / disconnect all the cryo pods to force the brain to give in to his demands and let him go
“I’ve come, this episode is a sponge” bruh spartan😂
From the games we know those are not the only cyro pods. The ghouls family is probably not in 31. He is probably in vault 1 or whatever vault oversees them all. The place at the end is new Vegas. From the corporate meeting Robert house was there he was in the game fallout new Vegas, so that's probably who hank is going to talk to and who the ghoul will end up confronting to ask where his family is. As for moldavor, she had a lot 9f money so probably had a personal shelter with her own cyro set to wake her up
Is Vault-tec the puppeteer, or just puppets themselves? Who were the people in the literal shadows, during the big meeting?
Severance needs to be added to your list. Season two coming this fall. One of the best first seasons of a show I’ve ever seen. Lots of mystery you two will love. And it’s directed by Ben Stiller, 9 episodes in season 1. It’s worth it.
100% correct about pacing the release of episodes. Many will state (correctly, IMO) that reaction videos started with Game of Thrones (e.g. Burlington Bar) and the community engagement that developed around it was through the roof, especially with anticipation. You just can't get that anymore.
So happy Fallout show was made so well. Great game. Great show.
The best finale to one of the best TV series ever made ^_^ Can't wait for the second season! Lucy's "Okey Dokey" is so different here, so dark. The background music is cellos.
The worst part about what happened to Shady Sands is the fact that it was founded by Vault 15. The NCR was the result of Vault Tec and it was supposed to be the new government. The NCR spread through most of the western U.S. from the Pacific to the Colorado river. Their government was based on the U.S. government. They had their own economy, their own army. They had train lines cities and more. The NCR was Vault Tecs plan for retaking the U.S. They were rebuilding the country. Hank's actions killed thousands and ruined the very mission he was supposed to help with. The city in the end is Las Vegas renamed New Vegas. Its the only city that wasn't hit by the bombs because Mr. House CEO of Robco had an anti missile defense system built to defend the strip. The NCR came across it and they made an alliance with House to defend the strip and he could maintain complete control over the New Vegas strip.
Awesome reactions. I've been playing Fallout since Fallout 3. At the end the city that Hank was looking at is New Vegas. Makes me wonder if the show will take them to Washington DC and Boston eventually. Would be cool.
You guys should also give Yellowjackets a watch, it's a mystery thriller type of show, there's 2 seasons already with a 3rd on the way. It also has Lucy (Ella Purnell) as a main character in that too.
Bud has that whole "i dont gave kids but i have a dog so I'm an expert at parenting" vibe lol.
Max probably thinks her father kidnapped her, since the last thing he remembers is Lucy warning him about Hank.
If you have been paying attention, which I doubt about your reaction, then you will have noticed that there was still a big unknown present in the background at the big meeting. The woman from the ghoul looked at this person before she spoke. That means everything she said, she said on behalf of him. This means that she does not necessarily have to agree with what she said. Maybe it just looks like that.
Furthermore, Ghul's wife does not have to be frozen in 31, because as we have learned, there are several 3-man bunkers and in each 3-man bunker one of them is a overseer bunker.
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.
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
i feel like Chet is going to rescue Norm somehow in season 2
Lucy mother took two little kids out of the vault, into a radioactive wasteland filled with monsters and cannibals.
If I was Hank, I'd be pissed too.
Wow I just realized Cooper's caps in his pocket make it sound like he's wearing spurs
Ah ha! I wondered why he'd be wearing spurs.
_jingle jangle jingle_
He is wearing spurs, though. There's a closeup of his boots in episode 7 or 8
Waking up to Pudge and Fall out is waking up to a great morning. 🙂↔️
Every time they call The Ghoul "Cooper" I get confused, because "Cooper" is the name of Kyle MacLachlan (who here plays Hank, Lucy's dad) in Twin Peaks.
There was a series called "DeathLands" from back in the 1980s...wasn't exactly the same, but was basically about the aftermath of a nuclear war and the craziness that prospered...similar venue of little redoubts that would either just rule like mini tycoons, or experiments similar to the vaults but not quite as structured....was an interesting bit of pulp fiction...dumb stories but was entertaining in a serial tv show kind of thing...
There was also a paper and pencil RPG called The Morrow Project from the early 1980s that explored playing in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. I remember playing it. It was a popular topic in the height of the cold war.
@@MattLathrum Nice, I came up during the late 70's / 80's with the age of "D&D is da debil" type thing...I didn't have any friends that did much live people D&D, so whether it is or isn't da debil never really came up much...but cool :O
My best phrase/say on this show was when Lucy woke up and that scientists and dog meat 🐕 was there and he told her that when she reach the end of the journey if she will still want the same things as she wanted at the beginning, the the whole father thing happens.....
And war, war never changes.
This finale had my jaw dropped❤
10:38 - the edit 😂😂
The irony is that the population of Shady Sands are descendants of Vault 15. Hank didn't knew it, but he attacked a Vault that opened prior to his... Fallout world is a dark one.
The problem with your release schedule is do they release it one week at a time when "you guys are ready " or when others are ready. Ya'll were late to the party, which is fine...but no matter how they release it, someone is always going to be playing catch up and viewing it later, which would mean that even then all the episodes could have potentially been released. If people prefer the one episode a week, just control yourself and only watch one episode a week. For myself, I have lots on my plate and prefer the full season release which allows me to ability to watch it at my leisure and move on. To each their own.
Y’all need to do a countdown video of all your “sneakiest snakes” in pop culture. You’d get VIEWS.
In the games, China beat Vault-Tec in dropping the bombs. Also, in Fallout 4 you can create your own vault (Vault 88), including experiments on unsuspecting settlers.
I hope they do weekly for season 2 as well. I feel like they dropped S1 all at once cause they felt they had to “prove” themselves to people, like, “hey our show’s good, here watch all of it at once” and now that ppl are foaming at the mouth for S2 (me, I’m people) I’m so sure they’re gonna do a slow release
But I wanna be able to each week come to work and be like “anybody else watch fallout yesterday? :D” instead of having to be like “anybody watched any of it?”
Loved this series, and loved the S&P reactions to it! Y'all rock! 😉♥
Thanks so much!! ♥️
This finale was masterful. It tied nearly everything up so... just so damned well. My only question is why the ghoul asked "Where's my ****ing family, when his daughter was with him on the horse when the bombs fell, and (assumedly) turned him into a ghoul. I could understand if he asked where his wife was, but he should know what happened to his daughter.
I think that his wife took her daughter with her, especially since she talked at the meeting about how to secure the future and safety of her daughter. I don't think she will leave her on the surface.
I’m guessing Hank is going to New Vegas, you see a sign at the end. It’s another settlement of survivors. Vault 32 figured out they were being used as an experiment that was controlled by vault 31, ie breeding stock for vault 33 - they killed there overseer and pretty much went mad killing themselves rather than be part of the experiment. Its unclear why they did this instead of leave the vault, perhaps they still believed outside was unsafe or simply realising there whole lives had been a complete lie was just too much to deal with.
NEW VEGAS BABY
I really enjoyed rewatching the series through your eyes. Guessing you figured it out, but the last city you see is New Vegas but a nuked version of New Vegas.
I semi-binged Fallout. I didn't watch it all at once, but I watched 3-4 episodes at a time. The fact that they released the entire season at once is actually my only real criticism of the show, because I agree that it would have been better with weekly releases. Fallout generated a ton of buzz as is, but can you imagine how much more buzz there would have been if it was a weekly release and everyone was talking about all of their theories in between episodes?
Thanks for the reactions. Looking forward to season 2.
would love to see an Godzilla Minus One Reaction
You guys should watch Midnight Mass... that's a horror/mystery masterpiece.
It's not a spoiler to say place at the end is New Vegas.
It was in the end credits.
