Fallout: Season 1 Review

Caesar dies in every scenario except the one where the Courier has a high medicine skill.

The asshole knight being played by Micheal rappaport was a good casting choice

Yeah the whole "Moldaver is actually good" thing almost got me for a second then i remembered she brought a group of actual raiders to pillage a vault full of innocent people. People not unlike her lover or best friend, when she could have brought a team of NCR remnants. When you learn the reverence moldaver had for Lucy's mother, it just seems unbelievable that she would choose to put her children at risk, and do more than what was absolutely necessary.

12:22 I thought it was implied that the anti feral ghoul serum is what is in the IV bags that you show as background footage when Cooper is in the coffin.

This show taught me two things about Jonathan Nolan: 1. He REALLY likes messing with redditors. 2. He REALLY likes video games.

I think you still missed some things in the show. About one of your two main criticisms: Cooper's family definitely is not in Vault 31. That's a vault for middle managers. Cooper is looking for another vault.

The joke with Brian Cranston as a roller coaster tycoon made me laugh way too hard

"Bryan Cranston is... the Rollercoaster Tycoon" I'd watch!

The way I read the sex thing with the BoS is that, basically, they've got all these child soldiers they're training to send out to the wasteland to fight, die, and find tech...and that's it. They don't care if they know how to have sex or not, because that's irrelevant to the Brotherhood. So as a result, You have alll of these emotionally stunted, soon-to-be soldiers that have never learned sex ed, explaining it to each other.

The slow mo kinda makes sense if you think about how you would incorporate VATS into a live action Fallout series

12:26 he did have an iv attached to him while underground

I saw this thumbnail and thought “huh, some person has ripped off the thumbnail format for that video essay guy I love” - for some reason it never crossed my mind that you’d actually make a video on this series. Thanks for your insight as always!

About everyone's favourite gouhl, i always figured the iv above his grave was supplying him with his medication to keep him fresh if they ever needed to dig him up again. Did i miss something?

I am infertile from eating scented candles. The

The "Im simply going to harvest your organs" probably summarizes the whole series pretty well.

@14:42 Todd Howard & Jonathan Nolan confirmed that the did not retcon New Vegas. 2277 is not the year the nuke dropped on Shandy Sands

Something that annoyed me about Moldaver. She needed Lucy to use as leverage to get the code from Hank. Why did Moldaver leave Lucy behind in the vault if she was essential to her plan?

You got a lot wrong, let's go down the list. 1. Cooper, while buried, is being drip fed the same mysterious substance he takes later in the series, it's not a plot hole. The relatively low amount he needs to be fed while underground as opposed to the constant supply he needs could be chalked up to activity, the more active he is, the more he decays, this is consistent with ferals in F4 who are usually lying still like a corpse until a human walks by. 2. Vault 31 is not the admin vault where Cooper's wife is. It's explicitly stated that it's for junior management, senior management has their own control vault. 3. It actually is plausible that LA would still be wired 200 years later, that whole region was NCR central as in this timeline Shady Sands is in the LA ruins. 4. Surprised you weren't annoyed by how Cooper is able to bring down dozens of T-60s but Maximus still kicked his ass in Ep2 for most of the fight. He forgot about the weakness or needed a special bullet? Anyway, good ep. Farscape episode sometime?

Personally, I think the protagonists Align with the game as follows Norm= Fallout 1 A vault Dweller trying to solve the issues or their vault and likely the crisis caused by a broken water filtration chip. Maximus=Fallout 2 A Wasteland native on a quest to prove himself to the wider world and secure a treasure for his tribe. Lucy=Fallout 3 Vault Dweller looking for their father who it turns out knows more about the outside world than he initially let on. The Ghoul=Fallout 4 A Pre-War veteran with extensive knowledge of power armor looking for their lost cryogenically frozen lost child.

I genuinely didn’t even think for a second that Lucy was even aiming at the ghoul in the finale. I thought it was just a dramatic shot of her shooting her mother when I watched it
