FIRST TIME WATCHING: Fallout S2E8

He should’ve known not to give the diode to the president when he saw it was Clancy Brown 😧 Season 2 did feel a lot slower and more disconnected than season 1. They spent the whole season saying that the Legion was coming and they’re dangerous but we never actually saw them do anything outside of their camp. There should’ve been crucified surfacedwellers scattered up the road, or settlements that they had raided, etc etc Felt a little Surf Dracula this season Also concerned about how The Ghoul is gonna connect with other characters next season when he’s in a different state lol (I have no idea about US geography)

Colorado is mentioned a few times in the 3D Fallout games, but none of them take place there. Some of Fallout Tactics (2001) takes place there I believe. And best wishes for Koda, I hope everything works out fine for you.

Nat, the Vault Tec building is underground. It's not nighttime 😆 Edit: she got it 😁

The Oscars are next weekend. Maybe a reaction to One Battle After Another (Its the overwhelming favourite to win Best Picture) or something else like Marty Supreme or Sentimental Value would be cool

I'm at the top of the video so I don't know if there's an update yet but I'm thinking good thoughts for Koda! There were definitely moments that I really liked this season, but as a whole the storytelling felt less succinct than in season 1. Season 1 felt like it could stand on its own as a complete story had they not been renewed. Season 2 felt like it was written in anticipation of, and as a bridge, into future seasons. There's nothing wrong with that, but that type of storytelling made the season feel less complete. I also felt as though the pacing was a little off this season as well. I would've been happy to spend a little less time with the vault dwellers and the water chip/inbreeding support plot (as funny as some parts were) and more time with our core three characters. As it is, we didn't spend much longer what felt like 5 minutes per scene with them before we jumped to another set of characters, and at times this broke up the flow of the story, for me at least. I did enjoy it overall though! The scenes between Walton and Ella were my favorite, as I love the juxtaposition between their conflicting morals. It was just a bit weaker than season 1, imo. Thanks for the react series! An entertaining watch nonetheless. (Now, a Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, however 👀 Beautifully done tv that does more with six 30 something minute episodes than many shows do with hour long 10+ episode seasons. Absolutely loved it and highly recommend to any game of thrones fan - or just people who enjoy a good story.)

I think his button did do it to everyone else and he was just faking it so she wouldn't press her button, which she didn't.

VaultTec Headquarters is Underground. Half a mile I think Mr. House said.

You are so confused indeed, the woman's head was the mainframe that programs her personality into the mind controlling chips. There was never any sugestion that the vault where Henry was had anything to do with the cold fusion diode.

Hi Nat, sending good thoughts for Koda, hope it all goes well at the vets

In the fallout games every character has a set of SPECIAL skills, and I believe all of these skills apply to the show characters. Claudia is one LUCKY lady to get a job where she could survive the end and then survive rad-roach massacre is she not? Fallout 4 had a nice little mini-trailer for their game describing the skills and how they effect the character, they are pretty funny little clips I'd recommend I bet you would think vault boy a a cute little mascot. You gotta try fallout 4 and new vegas after you're done with skyrim. I have been working on a theory for how season 3 is going to start and it is a reference to how the games can end. With Charisma, Lucy referenced her great negotiation skills earlier in the season, and I believe that she is going to negotiate a lasting peace between the legion and NCR. She's going to realize the new leader is fairly uneducated compared to the previous leaders of the legion. Who were very capable and well educated. It would lead to him actually honoring Caesars final wishes and be a perfect way to create a opposition to the narrative that the wasteland can only be changed by force and machine. Neither the legion or NCR are probably in great fighting capacity, and it very true to fallout to talk out the big battle at the end and make peace. Because I feel like season 3 is going to shift into a more 'scary' tone with FEV's harsh revelations, did you know FEV could be spread by blood? Thaddeus has to be infected with FEV, how could his functional arm, fall off with nearly no pain. That is not ghoulification. I believe the virus is just festering in his body waiting to be exposed to more biological matter, as he exposed to a tampered strain from the crazy man. what if he uses his new found wealth to seek a doctor who has an accident, getting himself infected and it just starts violently mutating like FEV is known for, and that phase two of the experiment is testing airborne or waterborne based transmissions inside of the vaults. Norm and Claudia return to mutants. The NCR ranger sniping the death claw with an Anti material rifle from the games, is a very well done easter egg to the intro of Fallout new vegas, and the hype amongst fans was high. I think NCR had a tracker in the armor Maximus was wearing like how the Brotherhood could track their armors. There is a location not far from vegas Called Quarry Junction, where there is a matriarch deathclaw laying eggs. That is where all of them are coming from, or came from. They will eat anything they can really. The section of Vegas where the death claws are, is the MAIN strip with the casinos and everything. Freeside is supposed to be a slum/ghetto kind of thing. I also think that since the fallout new vegas cannon is in the air, that the Enclave remnants quest line is actually a potential recruitment for Courier 6, who has to exist because FISTO is active, it would explain them not being present and who Hank was talking to when he first got to the radio, He called Vegas "his old stomping grounds" and how everything just kind of fell apart in the area. What if Courier 6 infiltrated or join the Enclave after assembling the remnants of the Enclave. I think shady sands got nuked, which led to the NCR failing in the area. Resulting in Hoover dam shutting off or being destroyed beyond repair causing Mr house to go offline after his power supplies are drained and citizens won't play ball with him trying to collect taxes and force labor to try and salvage everything they destroy the robots, and leave MR house to power down. I feel like the Courier would be the perfect bad guy, because everyone would feel connected to them in a way and what they really need is a Frank Horrigan incarnate on the screen, but would also be a great first person on the inside for the good guys to help them.

Happy Thursday Nat. Here we go. They're going to need to pull off a spectacular finish to turn my opinion around on this season. Compared to the first, I think it has been something of a disappointment so far. Post reaction - Okay, there was some pretty cool stuff going on in this episode, but it reminded me a lot of The Walking Dead and why I stopped watching it. Have a great season premier, then drag your heels throughout the rest of the episodes and then cram all the plot into the final episode followed by a cliff-hanger to make sure you come back next season. Rinse and repeat. I wish they had condensed all the flashbacks into 1 episode instead of just filtering it throughout the whole season and slowing the pace. It felt like they the writers were more interested in those than what was going on in present day. Overall a 6/10 from me.
