Fallout 1x8 | Full Length Reaction

"This is my favorite episode so far... [...] this... is a hundred percent up there" - THAT! 👈🏻🤩 I must admit I watched this last episode with some anxiety. Not Arcane-level anxiety, but still...😅 I had tears in my eyes two times: Tears of sadness when Lucy lost her dad and tears of happiness and relief when Lucy and Maximus found each other again. Oh yes, Ella Purnell does a fantastic job and is the emotional core of this story. Cooper Howard (Walton Goggins is GOAT 😍) and Lucy MacLean both. I am with you - for the first time since episode 1x1 I heard Jinx again...😊 So far nothing has changed - the Enclave only received Stephs request, but we don't see how the Enclave reacts to it. That's why I don't think Hank has initiated anything, but his own memory wipe. He has finished his job and knew he couldn't sway Lucy to let him go, so he decided to end things his way. Him ending his existence himself was full circle and poetic in a sad way. I have the feeling it was one last try to prove his love for his daughter, so she wouldn't have to "delete" him. But I also had the feeling he came off too easy, given what he has done in the name of the Enclave. My heart broke for Lucy and Norm though, they've now lost both parents...🙈 Henry MacLean might still be alive, but Lucys and Norms dad is de facto dead. I love that Lucy and Maximus found each other in the end. A tiny ray of hope in this batsh*t crazy world. Both are different people now, but I think they've grown enough to be able to survive in the Wasteland. I liked it that both shed their suits that tagged them as a member of their respective cult/corporation - Lucy leaves the Vaults behind and Maximus the Brotherhood...😍 Norm isn't quite there yet, but he is on a good way and has found someone whom he can trust, too. And I want to know what happens to Chet and if he will ever see Norm again...😅 I love the irony: Lucy starting a war by doing the right thing through NOT doing something brutal and Maximus starting a war by doing the right thing through DOING something brutal. Lucy and the Ghoul are even now. He owed her for selling her to Hank. I knew it! I called it! Barb and Janey weren't in their cryo pods anymore. I can't wait to see if there is any truth to the second part of my wild theory, that Barv is actually an old Barb or Janey (my money is on Janey)...🤔😅 I think Barbara is (or was) actually with the Enclave. Since Cooper took the fall and told Barb to play along for Janeys sake, I think Cooper managed to get Janey to Las Vegas somehow so she and Barb could go into the Vault. 200 years later the defrosted Wilzig and Barb worked out a plan to steal the cold fusion diode from the Enclave and bring it back into the hands of a good person (in this case Moldaver)...🤔 Diane Welch was used by the enclave to submit her good ideals to the new empty brains of the abducted people. She is probably the most tragic character of the show. Who knows what they promised her to make her the mainframe. Wilzig was quite the double agent and he seemed to be a genuinely decent person. He threatened Barb because he was threatened to do so, saved a dog first from being incinerated and then from the mind control thingy (you could see in season 1 how the Enclave trained the other dogs with it - he managed to train his dog without cheating), stole the cold fusion diode to bring it to Moldaver and repeatedly tried to warn Lucy of the Wasteland. My guess is, the Ghoul will end up at the Enclave, since it is in the Rocky Mountains and Barb left him a postcard from Colorado. Sure, the Rockys are huge, but I would be very surprised if Barb is (or was) not with the Enclave...😊 And now I need to fully apologize to Mrs. Barbara Howard for suspecting her of playing a double game with her husband, what I hereby do... 😌 I think since the Enclave is the main investor of Vault-Tec, there were many employees who worked knowingly or unknowingly for both corporations. Like Steph and Hank, f.e. I knew the Legion would turn up sooner or later. You don't waste a Macaulay Culkin for just one guest appearance. I loved the cheesy "Caesars Palace" joke so much...🤣 Yes, as stated earlier, the correct ancient latin pronounciation is "Ki-zahr". Ooohh, Liberty Prime! This is going to be good...😁🤯 You will see next year (hopefully) what it is all about...😊 My favorite characters this season are our three leads Lucy (oc), Maximus, the Ghoul. Thaddeus climbed many ranks in my charts and Barb too. My prize for the bravest guest appearance goes to the old lady with the flea soup. You have to really have guts and talent to appear believably as such a disgusting (and weirdly funny) character...😁 My prize for the best supporting character goes to Anabel O'Hagan and her portrayal of Stephanie Harper. She is bone chilling, hilarious and a tragic character at the same time. 😅😨 I'm looking forward to see more of the Super Mutants and Ron Perlman, to see how Maximus, Lucy and Thaddeus are doing, to see the Ghoul finally finding his family or at least finding out what happened to them and to see what happens next in Vaults 32 and 33...😊
