You should also know that Barb's secretary Betty is the same Betty from Vault 33...

The brain in the jar, is Bud, the irritating little shit from Vault-Tec, that keeps trying to talk to Cooper.

In the ending credits, they show the town Hank is staring at, and you see the "Welcome to Fabulous New Vegas" sign.

The dark room with all the CEOs was based off the war room in “Dr.Strangelove or how I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb”

I watched this episode with subtitles 😂 "brain in a jar on a roomba" is how it was described. 😂

I like how near the end the dad goes reverse Darth Vader, plays nice, gets the power armor, and then "I am your father"

Season 2 has been confirmed. If Lucy's little brother is this great hacker, I'm hoping he can just open that vault door and leave.

The Ghoul probably didn't tell Lucy about Hank, because he didn't trust her. Lucy was looking for her father, so The Ghoul didn't know Lucy or owe her any explanation at the time.

Also, the Betty in the Cooper/Hank meeting is the same Betty who is in Vault 33. And we also saw Moldaver in the flashback during episode 7, where she gives Cooper the bug and asks him to spy on his wife.

His wife was in on it from the beginning because it's the year 2077. And in their timeline, they have lived through 3 World Wars. And on the brink of a fourth War. She said when he was off at war in Alaska/Canada, she and the others waiting at home were constantly terrified and felt helpless. Her job allowed her to secure a future for her daughter and husband. And if you also didn't catch it, her villain statement, (raison d'etre) is : "Because when we are the only ones left, there will be no one to fight. This is our chance to make war obsolete. War never changes." She is not evil. She truly believes that she is doing the right thing.

16:50 Vegas Baby :D My New Vegas heart dropped when I saw the city. Last time we were in Vegas was back in 2010 with Fallout: New Vegas set in 2281 so a good 15 years after the events of New Vegas.

Hawk didn't do what's necessary, he did what he want to do He decided to detonated a nuclear bomb 35k people in shady sands all because his wife left him and took her children

The rewatchability of this show is high! I like that so many people not into the games are watching the show too. It’s my favorite perspective to get from a reactor of this. I’ve only played one Fallout game (4), granted for hundreds of hours, but I’m going through them from the beginning now. Just finished 1 and playing through 2.

Dead on about expanding the fanbase, Just like GoT series or LotR films it reached far more people than just the hardcore fans but stayed true to the spirit of the source material.

As someone who came of age in the 90s Lyterian is right up my ally. Thanks for pointing me in their direction. Also, another top tier T-shirt.

The random thumbs up during the dramatic moments cracked me up 😂😂

Its going to be a long wait until 2026 for season 2😢😢😢

People who played the games are wrong, it's nice to have people who never played them react to the series. You should definitely do reactions to the trailers as there are enough to probably do a video or even a few videos. The line "War...war never changes." is a pretty big deal and was nice to finally see at the end of the Season 1. Everyone was wondering if they'd use it. The narrator for the games is usually Ron Perlman who says that line in the intro of every game except for a few of them. The city at the end is New Vegas and is the main setting for one of the most popular games in the series Fallout: New Vegas. That's also a big deal for the fans of that game. So New Vegas showing up was kind of a HOLY SHIT moment with a lot of oldschool Fallout nerds jumping up and down in excitement.

The Hope, Time and Time, Management moments were great xD, awesome reactions as always Katie!

for 25 years we have been arguing who is droping the bomb first , now we know. 101097 is the date the first fallout game was released, such a great show

Hank heard "You want another autograph, young Henry?" and went "I must depart."

War never changes

It doesn't matter if you played the game or not. It just means you know more about the lore if you did play. It's still fun for non-players such as Katie who just figured out the Pip-Boy. The game parodied lots of stuff and in this series they do a good job of letting the viewer figure it out later by only providing little bits of info. Example; they only showed briefly in one spot some soda bottles that looked like Coca Cola. They used that logo and called it "Nuka Cola" in the game. Also, I forgot that KZfaq deletes comments if you put in phone numbers. My previous comment was about episode 6 in which the black and white pre-war commercial with the guy had an actual phone number. Apparently the show did that on purpose for fans to call the number for some entertainment. Since I can't post the actual number people will have to watch that part or google it.

6:38 both that music video and the show are referencing the war room from the 1963 dark comedy Dr. Strangelove, or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb

"Not only your dad sucks but he majorly atomically sucks." Amazing commentary 🤣🤣 Btw, Pip is a acronym for Personal Information Processor, which is basically a computer. You can say its rather more of portable computer rather than a watch.

The cool thing about the Fallout games, is that they are not skill heavy games. You don’t have to be good at video games to enjoy them. They are story based, and a large portion of the fun watching the character you created’s story unfold before your eyes based on your actions and choices and all that good stuff. Many people can play the same game and have their characters go through pretty different stories based on how the player chooses to play.

The Ghoul didn't tell Lucy anything about her dad because as he said he didn't know that it was THE McLean. The Ghould knew him as Henry, Lucy knows him as Hank, so had he even asked her about him the names wouldn't have matched.

Walton Goggins said they tried to make The Ghoul sexy

Ok, that fact you missed the answer "Time" and then the meeting room reminds you of Muse's TIME is Running Out is quite a coincidence.

"He married Oppenheimer" made me subscribe.

I found your channel because of these fallout reactions, and im glad i did. Youre incredibly charming with a good personality and are fun to watch, i thoroughly enjoyed experiencing the season with ya 👍

GIRL!!! I love love LOVE your commentary!!! You continue to crack me up!!! Thanks, this was such a great show!! Can't wait for S2!!!

If/when you decide to play... New Vegas is generally considered the "best" but 4 is definitely the easiest intro for new players. It was a fun ride lady. Nice series

Brain In A Jar..Head In A Jar (Futurama). Betty is the Overseer from 33...who knew. I love the music from The Inkspots. Would hank have destroyed Shady Sands if he had known it was started by Vault dwellers?

Season 2 was approved by Amazon either Thursday or Friday. No clue as to when they expect to start filming or projected release.

Dr. Strangelove is the inspiration for the meeting room in the episode and in the Muse music video you're thinking about.

So much fun rewatching the series through Katie. It’s interesting to see some of the characters from Vault 31 to appear in the pre war era like Betty and the brain I believe is Bud. And the moment I realize Moldaver is actually a morally a good person with the remnants of the NCR, I sided with her over the Brotherhood of Steel. And the twist. Oh, the twists. Lucy’s mom was that feral ghoul and the dad arrives to New Vegas! Makes me wanna replay New Vegas again after all these years or see Katie play the game! Man, I am so hype for the next season after this!

"Time is rinning out" is the muse song you're thinking of

I watched your full season of reactions; thanks, made my second watch very entertaining!

I love your reaction . I played the game and love the show and I'm glad a lot of people like you who didn't play enjoyed it .

The Ghoul does have a lot of swagger, I'll give him that.

I'm totally with you. I think this show brought in a lot of people who likely wouldn't have ever played the games like me and made them fans. I hope they do this with a lot of other games because I just don't play them very often and would rather watch a show.

If you love Walton Goggins, you MUST watch Justified.

7:34 xD (And then Bud´s face like happy that you´re not answering right)

something I noticed in the last scene with maximums ; the only people there were aspirants / squires. That implies pretty heavy losses.

You're right, there's tons of clues, foreshadowing, and clever writing through the series you'll catch on a rewatch. "Don't Lose Your Head" vault poster; when the shop lady in Filly tried to tell Lucy she didn't belong up there, noted "You've got all 10 fingers"; Vault 32 messages on the wall about knowing what was going on, and wanting destroy 'management;' confusion around Max believing the bombs dropped in his childhood; Lucy mistakenly thinking she was so silly for thinking the sun in her memories was the real sun; 'snake oil salesman' telling the Enclave scientist he had serums to fix feet, which is played like he's making it up; Lucy claiming her dad would never approve of her destroying a community to save him...etc.

It took this many episodes and she just now figured out what a Pip-Boy is... Holy Christ.

Your "Squeeze his head" thing wasn't scary at all. It's quite adorable though. Hahahahaha. XD

That dark room with the table...that is actually from the dark satire on nuclear war: "Dr STRANGELOVE", one of the most famous films of all time, been used in many other shows, music vid etc ever since ;) Also, the end scene, that's "New Vegas": Mr House the head of "Rob Co" who was at the big table, saved the city from the bombs and he seems to be not a part of the Vault-Tec/Enclave scumbags. He's not a "good" person but he's not a raving psychopath like they are So he helped rebuild Las Vegas into "New Vegas", the setting for the third game which is FANTASTIC for story etc :)

he didn't tell her because he didn't know until he saw hank that it was the same henry he knew

I think run the jewles nobody speak is the music youre thinking of.

Awesome 2 c you posted the finale!!!Hoping to watch it tonight after I get off work. Right now, I have to clock in about 3minutes.

The phone number for vault tec was the possible planned date for the season 2. 213-25-vault is 2/13/25. Text the number and you're told to wait for 33 weeks. Basically December's season 2 trailer.

Fallout is my favorite game series and this TV show is great. It does not spoil anything for people who haven't played the games because it is a separate story from those in the games, yet it is faithful to the lore established in the games.

theres that irish temper i remember lol

Doing another playthrough of 4 right now and I got really excited seeing the cryo chambers.

No no. This series is absolutely an excellent introduction to the whole setting. It stands well on its own even for people who don't even know the games (of which there are seven or eight at this point, but each is a standalone title that doesn't require knowledge of the other games to enjoy).

My only gripe is that they needed to explain a bit more for newcomers to the universe than they did. Explaining stimpacks etc to limit confusion but overall I'm impressed.

The board meeting room looks more like an homage to the War Room in Dr. Strangelove to me.

Now that you've reached the end, you know how every Fallout game kind of plays out. You never know who is really is the bad guy.

I just want a video of you guessing every question and getting it wrong.

Lucy deserves a happy ending

OMIGOD HE MARRIED OPPENHEIMER is probably the best take on this I've seen thus far.

If you love the ghoul, I highly, HIGHLY recommend the show Justified!

Season 2 will be out on valintimes day 2026 let that sink in

8:44 Betty from vault 31 right there in the office

I started playing fallout 3 back in 2008 then fallout 4. Even if you didn’t play the games this series was outstanding for for both sides. I was even confused with some events in the show

Season 2 will be out on valintimes day 2026 let that sink in!

There's definitely a season 2!

Season 2 is already confirmed and will take place in New Vegas

I love your reactions.

Fallout season 2 coming in Spring of 2026

Season 2 was already announced 2 days ago.

The funny thing is in the game we said the bomb was dropped by the Chinese.

I can’t wait for season 2 😁

So I’m guessing the guy behind the wheel the ghoul wants to meet will turn out to be Mr House in New Vegas?

Ok, I'm in love with the Irish accent now. Especially the T H words. Great reaction Katie.

Westworld is filled with so many fallout characters and takes so much inspiration from fallout. I feel this waw nolans way ofthanking fallout fans for supporting westworld

3:39 Btw of you want to see more of the Ghoul's voice actor then I can recommend watching Invincible which was made by Robert Kirkman, the same guy who made The Walking Dead.

I'm pretty sure the 2nd season has been confirmed at this point.

You’re so hilarious I love this

I think while Moldaver's motives are more altruistic, she was just as ruthless as anyone in the wasteland. She associated with raiders (the literal scum of the earth), and people feared her. Maybe we'll find out.

9:30 Not bad? You forgot Moldaver's people tried massacring the Vault 33 dwellers with raiders in the first episode.

WE HEADING TO NEW VEGAS IN S2

9:51 He said Dane, bro! I don’t know how to tell ya this, but I’m handing in my 2 weeks notice, retroactive 2 weeks ago.

If you like the Ghouls acting, you should watch the show Justified, hes sort of a main character to the show and it just tells a great story and his character is crazy and has such a wild journey through the series, what a great show.

Season 2 has been confirmed.

16:30 Being knighted and that suit means nothing to Maximus in the end of this episode. Maximus is already a changed person. The bitter irony of Maximus's character arc is that at the beginning of the series, all he wanted was to be knight. But here, in the end of this last episode, it's the last thing he wants because he tasted a better life when he was in Vault 4 with Lucy: taking hot showers, sleeping in a nice bed, eating good food, people being nice to him, kissing Lucy, falling in love with her. These are things he never experienced before in his life, so he realized that the thing he truly wants is to simply live a happy life with Lucy. Thus, being knighted is the last thing he wants because that means the Brotherhood will have a tighter grip on him. And he'll have to fight their wars that he doesn't want to fight anymore. And nevermind ever hoping to be with Lucy again. So, yeah, it's the bitter irony of finally getting the knighthood he desired in the beginning, only to realize that it's not what he truly wanted after all, like someone who went through so much trouble to find treasure, only to find fools-gold in the end. That's why he looks like he wants to break down and cry when they cheer him on and call him a knight. Quite a tragic arc.

I don't think he told her because she wouldn't have believed him

Being attracted to The Ghoul is nice and all, but can you imagine the smell? Rotting, irradiated ghoul flesh that's constantly being baked by the sun must not smell very good lol!

The Ghoul is weirdly sexy af!

It was walton goggins that did ask the make up people can we hav a hot ghoul

If you are a Muse fan, have you heard of the Warning?.. Matt Bellamy gifted the lead singer Daniella Villareal a mustard Yellow Mason guitar.. they opened for the Muse in Mexico and Europe.. you should check them out

If you play A fallout game, play New Vegas. Because the cliffhanger at the end of the season is Hank arriving at New Vegas.

U did it!

Could you do reactions on the Firefly series, and the Serenity movie?

Talk about weird timing. As I hit the thumbs up because I love these videos, immediately after the thumbs up popped up on the screen and Katie said no thumbs down. I was like WAIT WHAT.....LOL

as one who have played 2 of the games, you dont need 2 do anything related 2 the games for watching this series, only if you like.. to dive deeper in things i guess, or get more of the good

Loved the whole series, as someone who has played the games. That said, anyone saying you needed to play the games first? No. I agree with you that this does a marvelous job of working for people who had no idea about the games, as well as people who are fans of the games already. This will absolutely make some viewers of the show want to play the games. And fans of the games want to go back and replay them. Oh, and I get it about Cooper as a ghoul, and not necessarily Walton Goggins. Not me specifically, as in sexytime antics with that version of him. Lesbian leaning pansexual here, so if Lucy wound up a ghoul (or not), and with the kind of confidence, swagger, and ass kicking ability as ghoul Cooper? Hell yeah, sign me up. Monsters, mutants, or alien girls don't bother me one bit, if they're hot, they're hot. Also, really makes one think Cooper might have figured out Maximus was a total rookie early on back when they fought, and kind of just playing with him (unless he only picked up/made that ammo later, off screen). Also, the reason I don't think he told Lucy anything more sooner, pretty sure it wasn't till the scene with Roger (after killing Roger), that he learned her name. It was possible, even learning that, that she was just a distant descendant of someone he knew with that last name. He didn't know that was her dad's first name to connect the fanboy from Vault-Tech asking for his autograph in 2077 as the same person in 2296.

When it comes to getting into the games following the show, I have a few recommendations: If you're more of a "cozy" gamer (Stardew Valley, Farmeville, etc) I'd start with Fallout Shelter. If you're into turn-based linear story games like Final Fantasy, start with Fallout 1 & 2. If open world "choose your own adventure" is more your thing, Fallout New Vegas is the best one to start with. If you're more of a Call of Duty/Modern Warfare/Fortnight gamer, Fallout 76 is your best starting point. If you like a fusion of open world, RPG, and FPS then start with Fallout 3. If you want an experience that's as similar to the feeling of the show as possible, or if you're really into "Tower Defense" type games, start with Fallout 4.
