Amazon owning these anti-corporation shows like ‘The Boys’ and ‘Fallout’ is peak irony.

her now completely desillusionized "okey dokey" was one of the greatest lines

Dane is a true-blue friend who, not being privy to the conversation between Maximus and the leader, saw a way to make Maximus a hero in the eyes of the group ensuring Maximus didn't get executed anyway for past actions.

12:27 that means when Lucy thought the sun was actually touching her skin as a kid, it actually was 😭

The last part with Dane I see as actually pretty smart. Before they left, Max told Dane he wanted to leave, to which they said there is no leaving. So when they came in at the end there, I interpreted it as them seeing Moldaver dead and seizing the opportunity for Max. As if "You killed her' wasn't a statement...but instead an instruction to take the credit. That way, as a Knight, Max stands a better chance of getting out, or at least holding a position of power by which he can have some control.

The code that Hank enters to activate cold fusion - 101097 - is the date of the release of the first Fallout game.

I dont think his wife and daughter are in vault 31, she is NOT one of buds buds, since he is an underling of her, and he filled vault 31 with junior executives.

The cars in the show are practically characters themselves, and all of them from the past are real cars.

In hindsight , Betty's "I was there when we buried your mother" hits differently knowing what happened at Shady Sands

Fun fact Amazon owns roomba 😂

'From where you stand it might look like 24 carats of bad luck. Truth is... Game was rigged from the start." (c) Benny Gecko

Not even going to lie, after playing years and years of Fallout games, seeing the Cold Fusion work made me tear up. Playing through all those games and seeing how desolate the wastelands are, how broken people are with some fates worse than death befallen them, how hope is so scarce even when you beat the game. With Cold Fusion having been created the survivors now have a chance to revive hope, rebuild the world, and work so civilization can eventually thrive instead of survive. Even if it's not in the right hands as of the finale, the fact Cold Fusion exists means there's more of a chance than ever that humanity can repair themselves.

I'm in love with he emotion cooper conveys when he says "I guess not." When he realized the flaws in the power armor he knows about still exist. First time he shows like... giddiness. Excitement. I love it.

The executive meeting room is reminiscent of "the War Room" in the movie, Dr. Strangelove."

Hank/Henry was Barb's assistant, I think that Barb is much higher in the Vault-Tec corporation especially when she looked at her pip-boy then up at the shadowy figure behind the glass. She was either a senior executive or the personal executive assistant to the president/CEO of Vault-Tec. Bud's Buds were all junior executive assistants. That last look on Max's face when Dane was holding up his arm was a look of dissolution of how he imagined the brotherhood to be, and the need for revenge on what happened to him as a kid in Shady Sands.

i love how excited Kat was about the nods to the games. it was so cute

16:34 By destroying 100 countries, you turn the world into a million factions. Which makes the factional problem worse.

4:10 That's the ghouls Lucy freed btw. 9:54 Dundunduuuuuuuuun. And I think also now we know who the "she" is that the Ghoul is looking for. 12:55 "I buried her myself. Me, and your father." - Betty ... Gets a whole new meaning now, huh? 18:15 Definitely Lucy. 22:54 Dane always looking out for him. Maximus rise in the Brotherhood gives me some Man in the High Castle vibes though. I'm SO stocked and cannot wait for the Ghoul & Lucy teamup! Really loved Ella Purnell's performance as Lucy, already loved her in Arcane. Ironically, both of her characters undergoing kind of a transformation. That okey dokey makes you wonder how dark she gets now. Maybe it's Coop now who helps keeping her in check, since he can probably relate to how her world is crashing down on her at the moment.

Cooper's wife originally told him the vault she would be in would 'oversee all the other vaults'. 31, 32, and 33 are the 'Bud's Buds' vault - one of the experiments. It stands to reason that the 'prime' vault overseeing all the others would be Vault 0 or Vault 1. But no matter what, it's certainly not 31. It's something we haven't seen yet, although Siggi knew a *lot* about Lucy's vault, implying he's somewhere that has knowledge of all the vaults. So maybe 'The Enclave' is where that is.

Vault 31 has junior management his wife was senior management

31:20 long comment rant here, you can ignore if you want, because it's prob an unpopular opinion imo Moldaver is definitely a "good person" and Hank a terrible one. this is even more evident because Moldaver, who knew Hank and what he did to Shady Sands in the name of "protecting his children", offered him a similar choice in the first episode: Lucy or the ppl of the Vault. Hank chose Lucy as we know (and at that moment, it was shown as an act any loving father would do, but then we had the 180° showing that Hank has made choices like that before and that he doesn't care to "destroy an entire community"), but something that usually isn't mentioned by viewers is that Moldaver gave time for _everyone_ to escape unharmed. no one was k. because of that, to me it was more like a test to show Lucy and everyone in the Vault what kind of person Hank really was. i love Moldaver, i think she's a rare character in TV, especially rare in American TV. she's kinda shown as this character fighting against oppression, this archetype of a revolutionaire, but imo she's never shown as a mere trope, or like that overused trope of the "freedom fighter" eventually turning a villain and doing awful things gratuitously out-of-character that we see in media all the time... seriously, that trope is _everywhere_ (from Jet in TLA to The Kansas Raiders in TLoU). but Moldaver is shown consistently throughout the series. and i think that's very brave, especially in a world that even now has a lot of ppl with a Cold War mentality. the only "complain" i have with the character is that her ideology and message it's kinda watered down and obscured with the "all factions are bad/the same" and the "i'm not a com, that's just a dirty word". is not necessary (or expected) for Fallout to have a super pro-leftist message, to paint com in a good light for a change. but i think it's pretty cool that it also kinda has? that the show is not "in the middle", it takes a stance, it's just up to the viewer to notice. so yeah, tl;dr more Moldavers, less Hanks.

In my opinion, the proper name for Bud as a robobrain is "Roombud"

Kats reaction this episode was so hype! Love that yall loved it

Sonny: "Who the fuck are we rooting for?" Welcome to this version of the Fallout universe's conundrum, Sonny. War (Krig) never changes. And fiduciary responsibility made it inevitable. Edit: Kat clapping gleefully on the final reveal was exactly how I felt. I can't wait for season two.

4:09 that was one of the ghouls that Lucy save in episode 4

Glad you two finished the show. Thankfully Fallout like a few others are breaking the trend of horrible video game adaptations to film. If things go well this decade could be the decade of great video game adaptations like how the previous decade was about comic book adaptations.

19:54 No, Barbara, Coop's wife, was going to go to an overseeing vault; Bud Askins' personal project was 31, 32, and 33. ---- It's a bit of a side info thing, but they were planning on getting in Vault 0. They reference it in the shorts on Amazon, the cartoons. In the 2nd or 3rd clip. And it's in the Fallout Bible I think. But the Daughter was with Cooper when the bombs fell. I think the daughter is probably a ghoul, or Cooper was able to get her daughter to Barbara at Vault 0 before leaving himself maybe. Lots of options. I'm so excited for season 2!!!

And that's how you close off multiple storylines in one episode while opening up a whole bunch of new ones for Season 2!

One of my favourite reactions to this show - the joy, shared by both of you, in all the little things was a pleasure to watch :D

Forgive me for getting off topic but has anyone ever told you Sonny that you have a great voice for narration. I could listen to a medieval fantasy book with your voice on it every day of the week. 😎👍

The RobCo executive in that board meeting with Vault-Tec and the other big boys was Mr. House from New Vegas 😅

Fallout: Monkey's Paw Maximus got to be knight like he wanted, Lucy found her dad like she wanted, and Cooper got to be a cowboy like he wanted, and none of them were happy about it by the time they got there.

It was good to see Kat get excited Sonny got shocked

Thanks again for a fun reaction. What an amazing season of television. As a guy who just happened to discover Fallout 1 and 2 when they came out, I have been a Fallout fan for quite some time. I was really surprised when Bethesda revived the franchise, and was so impressed with what they did (I never got around to 76 after hearing bad things). Now, Amazon really produced something that feels so true to the games that I am really thankful for this series. I look forward to the next season with great anticipation.

Kat's joy at seeing New Vegas is delightful!

Literally the only reactors i wait for blessing you guys with much needed energy

for anyone who loved this series so far & hasn’t seen ‘Westworld, do so immediately 🤠🤖

It's interesting to meet Maximus this early in his arc as a character. He's essentially the child of an abusive family. When he didn't see a chance to be accepted by his family he was willing to leave them, but now that he's being embraced by his family I think he's going to backslide on that. His friend saying there's no leaving and noplace is safe after he's seen the experiments in Vault 4 and learned that a representative of VaultTec destroyed his family and childhood home will make that easier. And, why did he join the Brotherhood? "to hurt the people who hurt me." He could view that narrowly as "Hank MacLane hurt me" or more broadly as "VaultTec hurt me." I think Maximus is going to tend toward the latter, possibly from the beginning or possibly after he learns more about them. I think he'll become an antagonist eventually. And with Hank announcing that they are a generation away from re-colonizing the surface, I suspect there is a VaultTec vs Brotherhood war coming. Maybe in the series, or maybe in future games. And lets face it Maximus is a great name for a major villain if it doesn't seem over the top, and we've met him when he was nobody so it won't seem as jarring if he grows into the name.

Absolutely loved your reactions to this series, you two. Loved every single minute of it. And yeah, just like you I literally CAN'T WAIT for Season 2!

This has honestly been one my favorite reactions yall have done.

His wife and daughter would be in Vault 0. The Vault-Tec HQ vault. I think Barb had Cooper sent to Vault 12 in Bakersfield which was designed specifically not to seal properly, so I think that's how Coop got Ghoulified. Of course that could all be wrong. So I hope season 2 will give us that particular back story

It was so nice to see Kat so excited about a piece of media! 😊 Was a little bummed at the shift to the discussion, but life is more important! Thanks for reacting! Probably my favorite for this series.

This show has showcased how to properly do storytelling, always leaving us with questions by the end of each episode while also giving us some answers as the season progresses. And by the end of it, a lot of the questions we have are ultimately answered in some way while still leaving us with plenty of unanswered questions to keep us intrigued and interested in seeing how these storylines play out. Like what is going to happen to Norm? If he's gonna be Cryogenically frozen, how and when will he be unfrozen? Especially if Lucy (who I would think would be his best bet of being let out) is planning on following her dad to New Vegas. What are we going to find in New Vegas? Lucy's dad obviously knows something or someone is there that will help him. How is Maximus' storyline going to pan out? Is he still going to try to escape the Brotherhood of Steel or will he be further indoctrinated by them due to becoming an official Knight? I genuinely cannot wait to see what Season 2 has in store for us, if it's anything like this Season, I have high hopes to be just as enthralled by it as I am with Season 1.

Kat is as sharp as a tack as they say in picking through the pieces, great series and loved the show however one question I have is if Cooper knows the suits weakness when he killed them in the end WHY didn't he use that knowledge in fight with Maximus at the beginning if season to kill him ?

Kudos to Ella Purnell for the darkest Okey Dokey in world history

Drats, missed the premier! Such an excellence series and it being canonical instead of an adaption is frankly a breath of fresh air in shows/films based on games. I for one welcome our Management Overlords

Thank you guys for great reactions! ❤

Perfect, thx both, keep em coming.

Great reactions! You've earned a subscriber. I will be looking forward to your S2 reactions.

I think Maximus will want to eventually go after Hank for what he did to Shady Sands. So curious to see if Norm ends up in a cryotube.

Appreciation for you guys soldiering through the tired to get the conversation in! Dedication 🍻

i love how you reacted to the end. True fans.

Hey guys, another great reaction. Ok, I say this to every reactor that says Cooper's wife, Barbara, might be in Vault 31. She shouldn't be in that Vault. Bud's Buds were all junior executives & management trainees that are supervised by Bud. Hank, Lucy's father, was Barbara's executive assistant. Barbara was senior management. I think she was downplaying her role @ Vault-Tec to Cooper. Do u remember the episode when Cooper put on the Vault Suit for the commercial & asked if it really blocks radiation? The 2 people his wife introduced him to looked to this wife for how to respond. In the last episode, when the corporate heads begin to argue, u see Barbara glance up @ the 2nd floor observation room, where someone sits in the shadows, before she brings the meeting back on track. I think she could be the right hand woman of the big boss of Vault-Tec. I am curious as to what Norm is gonna do. Is he going to get into his father's Cryopod/ is he going to threaten the other Cryopods in order to escape Vault 31?🤔 I saw an update as for when Season 2 may come out which will be 2026.

Kat is definitely a diehard Fallout fan, lol. Every one of us who loved Fallout: New Vegas did the exact same thing! I also got misty eyed when they teased NCR stuff with the Fallout game theme during season 1. TY for the reacts guys!

Maximus doesn't want to be a knight, but then again the ones who don't want power are often the ones who can be trusted with it.

I think the power armor Maximus was wearing was the T60, it didn't have the same flaw as the T45, which is why the Ghoul didn't kill him.

If you told me 10 years ago that a show based on Fallout would be created, and it would also be excellent... well, I probably would've just said to you, "okey dokee". That was one of the tightest and leanest and concise season finales that I've ever seen. What a treat! Btw, kudos for not passing out when y'all came back. I'm impressed. GO TO SLEEP next time, lol.

Thanks for a great reaction you two! 😊

The code, 101097, was the release date for the first Fallout game.

Visiting Copenhagen today (3 June)! Beautiful weather and great city to visit.

I really hope we get to see Super Mutants in season 2.

All the experiment ideas at the meeting exist in the games. The show really captures one key aspect of the Fallout verse, and that's the exploration and mystery (and in many cases, horror) of the vaults. On a side note, Vault 4's twist in the previous episode is pretty neat because of all the setup we've had with how horrible the other vaults were (and it doesn't rely on the viewers to be familiar with the games for this too). The inhabitants ultimately become a not too bad society all things considering.

You guys are great parents and great content creators.

Loved seeing your reactions to the series, especially Kat's little nerd outs. Was indeed a perfect finale. Hope sleep has been caught up on.... 😬

Let's not forget that Hank McLean killed approximately 38,000 people when he nuked Shady Sands. Him calling Moldaver a "murderer" and "same as me" are... quite the statements.

I watched and enjoyed all 8 of your YT Fallout reaction videos. One thing I haven't seen anyone mention or comment on is that ghoul Rose is feral, but doesn't seem completely mindless. She definitely reacts to the conversation going on in front of her. The most notable is when Lucy tells Moldaver to give her father back, Rose hisses and growls. She does that a couple of other times and they don't seem completely random. The Ghoul's attitude towards Lucy changed with "Golden Rule, Motherfucker." After that he seems to have been protecting her (consciously or not). He takes the blame for what happened at the Super Duper Mart instead of telling them they should be looking for a vaultie. He shoots Hank so Lucy doesn't have to murder her father. Granted he had the ulterior motive of keeping Hank alive so Hank could lead them to his masters. If Lucy pulled the trigger, she would put the bullet in Hank's brain. He warned her that the BOS would kill her along with everyone else if she stayed. I am very much looking forward to how their relationship develops in season 2 and beyond. And Lucy has never been around dogs before. Canine eXperiment Not Found seems to be comfortable with Lucy around. Vault-Tec and Bud got what they were looking for in their breeding program with both Lucy and Norm. Both are intelligent and inquisitive. Which may turnout to not be a good thing for Vault-Tec. Lucy showed her adventuring chops in the first episode when she and Hank were running to vault 32 and she stopped to get ammo off one of the fallen. It will be interesting to see what Norm decides to do. I don't think he wants to just give up and I wouldn't trust RoomBud not to kill me after I was in the pod. Very much looking forward to Season 2.

yes the Rob-Co chair is Robert House :), i absolutely loved this series

'Us' will always become 'Us and Them' over time.

No barb is in the vault where they oversee all the other vaults.

its gonna be funny to see currier 6 waiting for henery with a magnum at the lucky 66

This was an incredible first season.

It really is astonishing how much they resolved in a single episode yet didn't neglect setting up season 2 with new things, not just things they failed to resolve.

the shady figure in the meeting was likely a member of the Enclave

11:24 yeah, she couldn't handle the fear of stepping out in the wilds. That would be terrifying, to leave everything behind that you know and go into unknown danger.

One of the best TV show finale i ever seen❤ War never changes❤‍🔥

The suspicion of Hank not seeming like what he is has always been prevalent especially if you're familiar with the protags of some of the games because there's typically always a familial twist to things, but I do really appreciate that even if someone just watches the show, there was already a seed planted in the first episode due to what Moldaver says to Lucy before taking Hank. It ultimately came down to the mystery of why it happened. Now, BARB though... Barb's twist was SO well done. It's great because she DOES do this out of love for her family... it's just such an extremely warped point of view and since she wholeheartedly believes in it, it's way scarier. She (and Hank and even Moldaver to some extent) is capable of monstrous things AND loving their family at the same time, and it just makes them as antagonists all the less one dimensional. If this were any other cheaper show, you can bet they'd do the whole "Cooper doesn't know, but the AUDIENCE knows hehehe" and making the twist not work. I was JUST as heartbroken as Coop when she said that line at the meeting. It's like you knew she could be as cold and calculating as everyone in that room... but to be the one to suggest THE idea in the first place was just... wow. Amazing show! Can't wait for the next season!!!

All those Brotherhood Knights forgot their helmets had headlamps.

From what I can gather his wife and daughter might be in Vault 31 but it’s no guarantee. 31 was Bud’s personal project. There’s a high likelihood she’s in a different vault, but we won’t get any answers until season 2

Okey Dokey 👍🐶❤❤❤ 42

This show should get all the Awards.

What has me most excited is the prospect of an Overseer Vault somewhere among the ruins of New Vegas. It's strongly hinted at by Barb and that must be where she and her daughter must be - and where Hank is headed to. The moment that got me was Coop finding out about his wife being the biggest of all corporate monsters and his entire marriage shattering before his eyes. Which also opens up a few more questions: He got divorced before his birthday appearance, because according to the people there, he has to do them to pay alimony. So, what exactly happened to him and his daughter after they escaped the Great War bombing? How did he turn into a ghoul? What happened right after this corporate meeting? I still think his (ex-)wife is ultimately responsible for his ghoulification. Sarita Choudhury (Moldaver) was also approached on wheter or not she will appear in Season 2, because we never found out A. How she survived for over 200 years. and B. why she changed her name from Williams to Moldaver, and she had to play coy, probably because she's under NDA, so that's certainly not the last we've seen of her. Save to say, this finale was so good, I played (and fiinished) Fallout 4 for the first time afterwards - and I usually never play RPGs.

From that first trailer, when they said "From the company that brought you The Boys and Free 2-Day shipping", I was like, they get it, this could actually be good. And then, it was. As for Vault-Tec starting the war? We still don't know that, we only know that they intended to. But, looking at how it went down, they were caught unaware. Until we see who pushed the button, it is still in question.

@Kat exactly my reaction at the end :)

Love Kat’s shirt!

24:45 Only the finale of The Expanse was better. This is the second best finale, i've seen.

Welcome to Fabulous New Vegas.

Great game adaptation I’ve seen in a long while

Any plans to maybe do a full spoilers review? I'd be interested in hearing some of the thoughts you didn't want to share here, which I understand. I'm a big fan of the games and thought this was the best new show in years.

I honestly feel as bad for Lucy as I do for Cooper/The Ghoul. Both were not only horribly lied to by the person they loved the most, but those people (Barb and Hank) are also responsible for the genocide of countless people. This is one of the best season finales I’ve ever seen! Not only does it unravel most of the mysteries setup throughout the show, it also expands the lore of the entire Fallout franchise in a monumental way.

Nice catch with mom

i am pretty sure the man behind the robco nametag was mr house.

Wilzig said to Lucy, basically, will you want the same things when you've become a different animal? This applies to Lucy and Max, who both changed over the season. Vault Tec probably didn't drop the first bomb, or didn't tell Barb, because she wouldn't risk Janey like that. She at the minimum would need lots of Radaway. At the Summit of Evil, there was somebody lurking in the shadows, presumably Barb and Bud's boss. I would speculate it will be the voice of the narrator, Ron Perlman. Thadeus is either a ghoul or a super mutant, we'll see. Kat's hint may be true, or Lee built her own cryotube. I doubt that Vault Tec wasn't spying on her and wouldn't trust her. The real center of the story, the chicken humper, had better be back. His line readings were insanely entertaining. Getting the feeling from Lee that she and Rose were lovers, which would make Hank even worse than we know now. Petty man. Norm is interesting, Will he outwit Bud or get frozen and thawed out by Lucy? He's not violent by nature. Bud does thaw people out for short term jobs like cleaning up 32, their work was sloppy, like middle management would be Dogmeat should be fine, she has plot armor.. But she's no Roosevelt.

You guys should watch X-Men 97

Its a perfect season.Even the "filler" episode with vault 4 was important. It was her first real exposure to the fact that the vaults and vaulttech were not what they seemed. Without that exposure she probably would not have believed moldaver. Almost everything served a purpose, and her and her brother both finding out the truth at the same time (with the flashback to when the ghoul found out layered in there) was perfect. All the storyline converged. Even maximus was important because he was someone she came to care for that was victimized by her dad. I loved the foreshadowing in earlier episodes like when the enclave defector said "will you still want the same things, when you are a different animal altogether". Both Lucy and max got what the originally wanted in the end, and in the end it was no longer what they wanted. Also when max wanted to steal the fusion core and Lucy said "if my dad knew I destroyed a whole community to save him it would break his heart", and then she finds out he destroyed an entire city supposedly for her but more accurately for his misguided ideals. It was all such good storytelling

Maximus could also work to make the Brotherhood what he and Lucy always wanted it to be/thought it was. Maximus knows if he wants to be with Lucy he needs to deal with the brotherhood first

6:03 Daaamn bro, perceptive!

You guys should really check out 3 body problem.... you're really going enjoy the science of it all...

WTH......Give the writers and Actors ALL The PRPS and LOVE!!!!

I'm so glad this show was as good as it is. I was braced for another terrible adaptation that completely crapped on the source material like the Halo series did, but I was caught completely off guard by how much the showrunners obviously respected and cared about the Fallout universe. While some aspects of the plotline (mostly just the Vault-Tec backstory) are iffy and not very well thought-through, the characters, acting, tone and overall aesthetic of the world was spot on. And on top of that, the show's success has really lit a fire under Bethesda's collective backsides to get working on Fallout 5, so now I can be hyped for that too. Great reactions as always. It's always a treat to see someone who loves the source material and catches all the references do one of these.
