The Ghoul loading his hat with medicine is a nod to the gamers. You can loot the contents but you can’t take the container 😂

I love that ending. Facing his past and the reality that he’s become a shell of the man he used to be(understandably)…he’s ugly, he’s strong but these days does he have much dignity?

The robot fixing Lucy’s finger before going to harvest her organs is kind of a game thing. Basically, all the robots around are pre-war, they have programming from before the bombs fell. So he was a doctor, he’s fulfilling that role. But he’s also had new programming spliced in there, so he does both.

"Feo fuerte y formal. I'll give you two out of three in that one." It's like past Cooper is talking to current Cooper, and he realises it. In combination with the kind act from Lucy, it's a needed wake up call for him. I love the character work on this show, it surprised me!

The Roger scene, I felt that shit, it was so incredibly well acted from all parties. It was a tear jerker.

Lucy must be frustrating for the Ghoul because she reminds him of what he's losing of himself. She still has all the human qualities (that she values) that he once had and would have lived by before he became what he is now. They are both good lessons for each other.

The ending when he’s watching his own movie I always feel like his past self is talking to his current self now. He’s now ugly and strong, but has no dignity.

The Mr. Handy robot in this episode was originally programmed to administer medical assistance. It was later hacked with additional programming to harvest organs. It was simply following an order of procedure.

The ghouls will turn feral, so basically just wild animals (most of the ghouls in the games). That’s why in the first episode, they had a chicken to see if the ghoul that came out of the grave was feral or not, it would have just went right for the chicken without any thought

if u paid attention in the first episode,she hit al the marks in the chest when she was aim training,so shes a great shot actually.

Stimpax will not get rid of radiation. You need Rad-away for that and you'll need Rad-X to better combat the radiation.

It’s an original story. A continuation of the world of Fallout. But it’s not a retelling of any of the games unlike The Last Of Us. So they have a lot of room to make their own thing.

The transition from a regular Ghoul, who remembers all the majesty of the old future world, to the feral ghoul is one of the best things on TV at the moment. Best metaphor for dementia and age out there.

This episode was so quintessentially Fallout to me, like everything from Lucy and The Ghoul travelling the Wasteland, her misadventure in the Super Duper Mart, and Norm and Chet investigating Valut 32 could have been straight out of the games. Exploring abandoned vaults is one of the most interesting and rewarding things in the games and stalking through those dark, chaotic hallways feels just like that, they captured it so, so well. Immediately after finishing this episode I went 'yup, gonna redownload my Fallout games now'. Episodes 1-3 were fantastic and did amazing jobs introducing the audience - both those familiar with the franchise and those not - to the world and to our characters. But to me, THIS is the episode where they were like 'okay, exposition done, let's make this a Fallout show for real!' From here, it's banger after banger and I am not surprised they got immediately renewed for a second season!

Great episode reaction .....that robot also known as Mr Handy in the fallout games are programmed to fix/repair things , that's why he gave her a new finger Even though it looks like the ghoul is treating Lucy like crap , I actually think he's teaching her that she needs to toughen up and to do whatever it takes to survive the surface

Answer is right, "smoothie" refers to humans. "Smoothskin" is what ghouls typically call humans in the games Also, the Ghoul eating Roger is in line with the fact that the games give you the option to be a cannibal

The finger scene... He took her finger off to remind her of her golden rule.... Due unto others! So he followed her golden rule and took her finger as she took his. Love this show. Also the vault was opened from the "outside" by Norms mom Rose with the pip-boy.

I like how you all discussed the episode more with each other instead of just giving your main thoughts. 👍 You all are in for a ride.

In the scene with the jello cake: I thought the brother was trying to do 2 things. 1. Make people start realizing that the raiders are a drain on their resources by giving them something special that not everyone usually gets. Make people think "Why are we giving our stuff to them instead of us?" 2. Get some time alone with the prisoner. By giving the guard the rest of the cake, she left giving him time to get a little info from the prisoner.

The robot putting the finger on first before organ harvest just shows how much of a slave to its programming it is.

The writing on this show is spectacular, everything connects, everything ends up making sense, so few plot holes in an amazing complex dance of characters.

You can't sell a hand if there is a finger missing...Best price and all that. Hank as the Oversear must have been in contact with Vault 32 over the years, so he may have known what was happening.

12:50 Think Snip-Snip gave a finger to properly up her ‘quality’ from near-mint to “good enough for the exchange rate.” Think he’s still primarily programmed to ‘aid’ humans, but can’t differentiate between necessary and unnecessary actions.

"Still better than rhubarb pie" needs to be a tee-shirt now, fellas.

The writing in this show is way better than I thought it would be. Not a single second feels wasted.

Every song you have heard has been in a fallout game

Strawberry Rhubarb pie is honestly my favorite kind, lol.

For radiation sickness you use RadAway and Rad X to resist radiation better 🙂

as a man thats finished most of the games and the entire season, you guys are going to LOVE the rest of their show, everything will be explained and you will learn so im keen to watch more reactions.

I love this show so much. As a lifelong Fallout fan I was PRAYING they did it justice. 😭

Been a long time watcher but this series has been the biggest blast! (pun intended) Looking forward to you finishing this!

Hello friends. Here's my breakdown of facts for episode 4: Regular people are known as "smooth skins" by ghouls. In the game there are two types of ghouls. The so-called "normal" ones like Walton's character and "feral" ghouls. Both are the result of mutations caused by radiation poisoning. Which version they become is up to chance and the type of mutation they undergo. Unlike the game the show has introduced an aspect to them that makes it so normal ghouls can eventually turn feral if not treated. They use a serum to keep their humanity. All the product names and items mentioned in the show (Blammco and the like) are all from the game. Sorry to burst Mason's bubble, but stimpacks do not cure radiation sickness. Even in the games the stims will recover your health, but fall short depending on how irradiated your character is. The only way to cure that is via Rad-Away packs. The Super Duper Mart. An iconic Fallout location. Of course it's a chain so you do encounter multiple throughout the games, but there's one thing they all have in common. Usually they're infested with ghouls. The robot seen in this episode voiced by the fantastic Matt Berry is a General Atomics International Mr. Handy, a service and maintenance bot usually employed as a butler or manual labor worker. To clarify, all raiders are from the wasteland. The ones shown infiltrated Vault 32 and found it in the state it was already in. In order to infiltrate Vault 33 they disguised themselves as other vault dwellers. Only Vault-Tec has prior knowledge of what is going on in each vault. When Lucy leaves the Super Duper Mart she's seen wearing wasteland gear, the armor commonly used at early levels in the Fallout games shortly after starting. The reason the tech seen in Fallout is all retro is because the Fallout universe takes place in an alternate history where the microchip was never invented. This is why things like the Radiation King TV sets resemble old 60s tech. Extra tidbit: Recently it's been revealed that Bethesda provided Amazon with the game files for multiple items from the game which the production team 3D printed in order to get them as close to the game as possible. That is why so many things in the show look identical to the games including the vault corridors and such. EDIT: I've mentioned this before, but the story for the show is original. It has references and inspirations from plots seen in the games, but on the whole the story is original. Part of why it works so well is because the writers didn't try to adapt plot from the games, they just created a story properly themed around the world created by the games.

The banter between Quinn & Oak at 37:34 was so amusing, the way Quinn said "you gotta control yourself" was hot & hilarious hehe 🤭 also "ass jerky is better than rhubarb pie" agree with that, I hate rhubarb too, spam only tastes good if you fry it. That bert scene lol 😂 also the real name of the robot "snip snip" is Codsworth, Lucy was badass in that scene with it & the ghouls!.

"My name is Martha." HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT NAME!

"I can't wait to see Dark Lucy." Everyone who's seen Jinx in Arcane: （｀ ื__ ื）（｀ ื__ ื）（｀ ื__ ื）

The finger scene shocked me my first walkthrough because you can't help but like The Ghoul but he is brutal.

So the video they showed was actual footage from the "Mouse Utopia" experiments that studied behavioral sink that was done in the 1960s. I remember watching a thing on it with the actual footage so I recognized it pretty quick.

I love how at the end of the episode, the Ghoul is now on the other side of the barrel embodying the line that describes the villain as ugly, strong, and without dignity, as told to him by his past self.

No.. Tunnel Snakes RULES!

They have just enough comedy in this!! And the Ghoul by far is my favorite

None of the episodes are filler my friends this entire season is pure gold. Love your reaction guys looking forward to the next one.

It’s interesting at the end with cooper (the ghoul). I felt like his past self was talking to him pointing the gun at him

“Looking forward to the High-Jinks this episode” is unintentional foreshadowing, because Ella Purnell played Jinx in Arcane and later in this episode, she gets high…

Шикарный сериал. Я его через реакты уже чёрт знает какой раз пересматриваю)

Please double upload the rest! I cant wait another whole month just to see your reaction to the finale 😂

The show has /slightly/ changed how ghouls work frfom in the game. The simplest way to explain it would be that they have been heavily radiated. They have a healing factor (theorized in modern medicine today regarding the use of radation) but eventually, they're brain will become to eradiated that they lose themselves and become 'feral'. Once feral, there is no coming back- essentially a zombie on the hunt to eat anything in sight. The medicine The Ghoul takes isn't explicitly named but is likely some sort of medicine that keeps his radiation undercontrol so his mind doesn't go. It takes a lot of mental willpower along with the medicine to fight off going feral, making The Ghoul's 250+ year life span even more impressive. Loving the reactions- as a huge fan of the games it's been interesting watching an outside perspective of the show.

I loved this Series. They did so well keeping Fallout vets entertained yet managed to explain the history enough for newbies to basically get you up to date on the lore... You'll love the rest of this!

The Radiation King TV in the games is a reference to the TV brand in The Simpsons.

For your information going forward, the series here is not one of the games as a show it’s a canon story that takes place in the same world but with a different cast. It is part of Fallout though.

7:03 okay Answer- let’s try not to shock-gasm over a finger being cut off 😂

Funny thing: The development of the Blue LED was so incredibly hard, that basically every company on the planet dropped the idea. Just one crazy guy experimented his ass off and persuaded enough people to give him money so he could make the breakthrough. Without him, we would still have this only-green (or red) displays today and technology development would be at a way different point in general.

There were a bunch of firsts for Lucy in this episode. Two stand out as key moments of character development for her. First is that Martha is the first person Lucy killed. Before that she was using her tranq-gun. Now she has a regular firearm. Second is "Golden Rule, Motherfucker." That was the first time I think she actually used foul language.

Betty is "Blind Al" from Deadpool.

There are basicly 3 kinds of ghouls, the ones like "The Ghoul" the sentient humanoid, then there are 2 kinds of feral ghouls who has lost all sense of humanity and are basically just animals, the regular feral ghouls and the radiated ones. Ghouls who has been exposed to soo mych radiation that the are glowing green and are much stronger and are radioactive themselves.

I think the answer to "why fix her finger" is... what if somebody comes along looking to buy a hand? You're gonna have a hard time moving a hand that's missing its index finger.

"I think she shows what's really happening." Yeah, you could say that.

I love Chet so much 😂 he's one of my favourite characters, he's just looking for his place in this world. "Yes. I am Bert." Kills me everytime 😂

"Golden Rule, Motherfucker" is possibly the best line in the episode, maybe the entire series. It sums up Lucy's character perfectly. Well, "Ass jerky don't make itself" was quite memorable too. 😂 Oak was talking about this in his wrap up, and I really think that Vault 32 had no birth control available and went through surges of over population and anarchy, then being restored. Vault 33 did have plenty of birth control and were encouraged to have sex as a normal thing, thus why Lucy and Chet had been fooling around for ten years but never got Lucy pregnant. (More thoughts to come on this topic in future episodes).

Yes the songs theyre playing play on the radios in the fallout games. I love the music ❤

Smoothies is short for smooth-skin, which ghouls use as a derogatory jab in the game since everyone else always hates on them for their appearance. Also in the games they dont have a suppressant for the feral side, once they take in too many rads they just turn full zombie

Man, I love rhubarb reminds me of my grandma we'd eat it raw out the ground so we didnt have to go inside for lunch/snack and could keep playing😂 gotta like sour things

Yall have some badass nicknames

Just so you guys know this show is base on the Fallout franchise games but its not a story from any specific game that they have released. This shows writing expands on the lore of the game while also being its own story. Its not like the last of us.

For "writing for themselves" you guys should know they are! This is a completely new story, adjacent to the video game world/lore but completely new and original, not based on an existing game but developing in the same world! :D

The problem the Ghoul has now is, the guys who made the vials are dead now, so who’s he going to get new vials from when his new supply eventually runs out. Will he end up going feral.

My great grandma was famous for her strawberry rhubarb cake. It was amazing.

Turning into a ghoul is a by product of long term radiation exposure in the fallout universe. Cooper is a rare pre-war ghoul, most ghouls are far younger than him. At first all ghouls are sentient and just like regular people, but over time the radiation can affect their brain until they then become feral ghouls. Which are essentially zombies. The drug that the Fallout show is using with these ghouls to keep them from turning feral is a new addition to the series. But in Fallout 4 a character who is a ghoul mentions that about 10 years prior to the game (still 200something years after the bombs) he was human and found this experimental radiation drug, that changed him after one hit. So its likely that this drug is the same one in the show, they just expanded on it and gave it a place in the lore.

I think the Enclave, where Wiltzig and Four/Dogmeat escaped from, probably created the vials for the ghouls. I haven't played the game, but the Enclave seems to be the source of a lot of things in the Fallout world.

please play Fallout 4! such a good game to start the series with (you can play them in any order)

Love the reaction guys! Can’t wait to see your reaction for the rest of the season! But the real question….. rhubarb or jerky?

I am Bert. The baby comes out with a black eye? That is a thought to have after.

When wandering the wasteland players often have little they can trust beyond their handy Pip Boy. Not only does it cater to their every inquiry regarding their health status, inventory and objectives, it comes with a handy radio able to pick up all sorts of signals in the wild. Sometimes hidden quests are revealed by being in proximity, but there will almost undoubtedly be someone dedicated to being a DJ and playing tunes to help the survivors of the wasteland get through the day to day. The songs in the show are all lifted from the various radio stations that have been in the Fallout Games, along with a few other tunes. The aesthetic of the universe is one that is futuristic technology based on the 1940s-50s idea of what the future would be like. The overall style of things as they were before the bombs helps lend to the biting satire and commentary of the Cold War era notions of atomic doomsday which is what the Fallout series was built upon, and if nothing else the music of those eras definitely hits home the point of the games settings as an alternate universe that might, and could still happen.

He gave her a finger so they could sell the whole hand.

it still blows my mind that Lucy and Jinx are the same actress

This is an original story taking place about 15 years after the closest game.

The most confusing part of this reaction was the rhubarb hate!

Steph came to Chet's quarters with the intention of moving in.

Nerd moment: PIP (or PIP-Boy) stands for Personal Information Processor.

Love the reaction!! ❤This show is just done great!

I don't think The Ghoul wanted to haul a heavy wooden box around with him. It's not like he has a horse to help carry it (they don't exist in the Fallout universe post bombs).😊

I honestly think he took the jello mold cake to make his fellow vault folks angry. Convince someone else to poison them?

Ghouls turn feral, like zombies. Most try to conrinue to remember their name to keep the humanity. Its honestly tragic. 🥺

I have been eating rhubarb since I was a little kid. I would pull it straight out of the ground from the patch in my mom's backyard, rinse it off with the hose, and eat it then and there. I love it, I love the tartness. I have a patch in my backyard. I'm not only eat it raw, but I make lots of stuff with it. Yummy!

The guys were using the robot to harvest organs. While they didn't seem that smart during that scene, you need to remember that they were clearly using some of the drugs they had all around the couch, so they probably weren't fully sober during that scene.

Regarding the soundtrack, these actual songs are part of the game's music because you have a radio in-game that you will likely tune on as you wander the wastelands and it has these specific iconic songs.

the exact same songs from the game love it!

Rhubarb slander! I haven't had rhubarb pie since I was a kid and now I really want some...

Ant to think that Vaults 31 to 33 were one of the luckier ones.

The show is serveral years after the last game so its kinda new for us cause we see what happened later.

Lucy and Ghoul parallel going. Mirroring each other.

I. AM. BEEEEEERT!

31:36 they are writing on their own… this is an original story just tying it back to the rest of the lore.

While the world and lore is straight from the games, and done incredibly well, the story is brand new. This takes place after all the games.

Hackers was my favorite movie growing up. 😊

This is based on the world but not on any game. So the writers have to love the game and the lore and just wrote a great script.

ghoul turned into feral ghoul, if they can't control themself.

Ass jerky > anything rhubarb As far as we know human flesh doesn't taste terrible, it's just the fact of what it is that makes us apprehensive to it. But rhubarb is just fucking disgusting that makes me gag from the taste alone. I'm curious whether Lucy can stick to the golden rule in the long run though. Cooper has been through this for over 200 years already, while she's only out there for a short while. I'm sure she'll change though, we just have to see how much. But maybe Cooper can now also self reflect a bit and get some of his dignity back. :)

4:55 As a fellow Wisconsinite, Rhubarb is amazing with or without sugar. I eat that shit straight from the plant.

The video games are open world type games like GTA. They don't follow a story like The Last of Us. You can make different decisions and it will alter the results. This show is based on that but it's not following a specific story from any of the games. I'v played Fallout 4 but there are about 11 Fallout games based in different cities. 4 is a good one and most people like it.
