I feel like the dog being revived instantly kinda references the fallout companion mechanic, which you can instantly bring any companion back from the dead. lol

At 14:00 you totally missed the reference, she was exploring the wasteland and forgot to put her weapon away when she approached a random location and talked to an NPC. Thats why she looks at the gun like "oops" when the guys acting all scared. That was the moment i fell in love with this show.

I absolutely loved all the audio they used from the games. gun noises, doors opening, stim packs, dogmeat's growls whines barks etc. it was a nice touch.

I love the little detail, when Lucy meets the wastelander, of her keeping her finger straight and off the trigger because it reflects her proficiency that she boasted about :) Proper weapon safety

Titus running away saying "FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK...." was a frame-by-frame replay of Fallout 4 survival mode players' early-game encounters with Yao Gauis, with or without armor. It's surprising that even after all these years, even if I'm in power armor, if I'm ambushed by a Gaui that is the ONLY option: Run away saying "FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK..."

When you have dogmeat as a companion and if gets beat down during a fight with some creature, he will pop right back up once you hit him with stimpack.

Im so happy we as a community get to go through all this together. Props for fighting the time zone war brotha. Thank you, ive been having fun reading the comments the last month or so, and on KZfaq that is a miracle. Props on leading with the positive vibes.

Super Mutant was my first thought when I saw the hand on the gurney and it does fit

the moment this aired.. bethesda announced the release date for the f04 next gen update

Lucy needed a bit of surgery after stimpack and Dogmeat didn't becaus Lucy is a Player and Dogmeat is an NPC (a companion, actually)

Hey Man just wanna say, In a current age of a lot of people spreading hate towards new TV Shows/Films/Games for franchises they like its nice to have you making content showing how actually excited you are about this show and how much your enjoying it, its so refreshing and is really helping my mood alot

The turrets in Fallout always have horrible aim. That turret missing every shot made me LOL and felt just like playing the game.

Maximus played by Aaron Moten, reminds me of a young Denzel Washington. I'm wondering if that was one of his influences as becoming an actor

I cannot tell you how happy I am at how amazing this show is. From the visuals, to acting and writing, to music. My parents, my girlfriend and my friends who know nothing about Fallout are loving this. Man we needed a show like this

@ 5:22 That scene where lucy is exploring the abandon house captures the feeling of us players when we are randomly exploring the wasteland with the radio in the background and the wind, wood, and metal providing that wasteland ambient background noise, Ha it felt nostalgic for some reason

When I saw that it was Michael Rapaport underneath that T-60 armor I realized why he was a dick 💀😂 that man’s acting is always spot on!

13:38 -- I respectfully disagree with the suggestion that this is meant to hint at Maximus possibly being responsible for Dane's injury that essentially ended their career as a squire before it even really began. Dane reportedly told the Cleric that Maximus "wouldn't hurt a fly." Technically speaking, here, Maximus *didn't* hurt Titus; he simply withheld aid from a fataly wounded soldier. (Albeit an absolute arrogant douchebag of a soldier, but the point stands.) If you recall, Maximus was the first (and only) aspirant to jump into action when he awoke to Dane screaming in pain. This difference in approach to a fellow soldier in crisis lends itself to the idea that Maximus does not shy away from aiding someone he feels is *worthy* of help. The reason Max was so angry that Dane got Anointed before him is because it's pretty obvious that Dane slacks off and skirts the rules, but is seemingly rewarded in spite of those facts. (Dane wasn't doing their job on latrine duty, and even conjoled Max into going with them into a restricted area, but didn't get disciplined for either infraction; they were *promoted*, instead.) Meanwhile, Maximus gives it his all yet makes no headway. He's tired of being the scapegoat amongst his peer group, and justifiably so. Yet. . .he took his anger out on a literal barrel of shit rather than be anything less than supprtive of his friend's good fortune. All that speaks to Max's character far more than the fleeting thought that because he let a repugnant excuse for a paladin expire (one who was threatening Max with the death penalty for simply "allowing" him to get injured by the local megafauna) rather than saving him and sealing his own demise does.

the puppies being thrown in the furnace has something to do with their weight i think he said "if they weigh less than 10 ounces then incinerate them" im not 100% sure though

I loved that when the BoS sends orders from the Commonwealth to capture the remnant, they send a shitty knight from Boston 😂

I really appreciate that the songs matched the scenes in the show. like having the songs in general is great but having them kind of match what's going on in the show fantastic.

I'm so glad that I found your channel. I've been wanting to watch reviews from someone who has also actually played the games. I love all the references in the show. I'd love to see you post more reviews!

Great job with these breakdowns Lone! The show is amazing so far and I’m literally watching an episode and then your videos. Keep them coming!

Love you’re doing each episode! Havent watched this episode yet but i will return to this video once i do! Great stuff!

I thought he fired twice into the creatures head

A "regular" two-headed bull..." oh yeah, regular two-headed ones are so common...

Loving the episode breakdowns and your enthusiasm for Fallout. The nostalgia is great in this series. Keep up the breakdowns.

The bear getting killed with one shot to the head makes sense, a 44 Magnum or 50 AE would do the same, Max is using the heavy 10mm so longer canon and faster bullet speed, plus i imagine that those 10mm are stronger than ours, you kno9w future pistol and all that.

It would be nice to see more of these, as you are going to have a LOT to talk about in the later episodes. Something I didn’t realize until much later is that each episode ends with a pretty amazing behind the credits animated sequence that hints at the next episode. Some great Easter eggs in those.

I think the reason the dog heals instantly was the genetics and drugs they were taking at the enclave

Nice work. Keep up the break downs. They are excellent

I really like the series and checking out your vids breaking down things to see if I missed something is just the cherry on top of the jello cake. Perfection. Hope we'll get the next Fallout game soon. :D

Love these! Just subscribed and would love to see a breakdown for the remaining episodes!

Great episode, I really like the doctors loyal dog. One thing tho, fallout 4 had a pre war magazine called "Tesla science magazine" the cover has pre war t-60 power armour with rear mounted jet packs. I'm hoping, since Maximus said "New t-60's" that they explain that soon. Maybe the arm jets and flip up masks are the "New" stuff

Interesting to see the enclave is still around during this time.

Love it. I am vision impaired so your breakdowns help me get a better grasp of what is happening. Thanks keep it up

Ma June's rifle is a Ruger Mini-14 IRL

It's funny how people treat vault dwellers as noobs here. Word clearly hasn't travelled that 2 separate vault dwellers wrecked sht up single handedly on the east side.

I'm totally loving this show so far - and your breakdown! Lucy's look is not romantic - it's a mixture of hope, relief and joy. Because she met someone who is friendly, knows about her and her people, and surely is valuable for achieving her goal.

The stimpack is also a dose for an adult human (more HP) and a dog is just way smaller (less max HP), so it's a higher relative dose :)

Another great episode!! I love these recap videos!!

The scene where the guy says “he was f***ing my chickens” killed me hahahaaha

"Clean this". When Maximus gets the T-60's foot caught in between the board walk planks it was like getting your armor caught in-game. That's when you have to exit your power armor just to get un-stuck. If you play the game you know exactly what I'm talking about.😁😁

Yes i'd love to see more episode breakdowns! TYVM!

Everything I see in this show that makes me excited, I equally think about how excited you will be about it. I'm so stoked to see the rest of this series now that I've finished the whole series. The show is so close to the games that I typed game rather than show at the beginning of this sentence. It feels THAT on point, that perfect in tone and everything to a Fallout game, and the fact that this is cementing canon for stuff is just chef's kiss.

the box for the prosthetic says “Jims Limbs” lol

My favorite scene in episode 2 was when Maximus tried on the T-60 suit and went ham on everything he could find. Find a house? Knock that sh*t down!! I thought that was a good representation of everyone’s feelings putting on the suit for the first time.

27:29 🎶 I don't want to set the world on fire, I just want to start a flame in your heart. 🎶

very much enjoying these videos Lone

Keep doing the reviews, I enjoy your content

The main weapon the Ghoul uses is a weapon mod called the MTs-255 revolver shotgun. Supposedly of Russian origin and hella OP.

I agree it was brutal. The puppies and the baby skeleton had my jaw dropped but I also got excited because I knew they were pulling no punches in this show. Can't wait to see more.

Has anyone noticed that Lucy shares the same name from the daughter of the movie Die hard? If she doesn’t say hippy Kiaya we should riot.

The one shot to the head for the yao gui is because the knight had already beat the bear up for a while and it just needed the killshot

Maybe the stinpack that lucy used did not bring her back to 100% therefore the need for stiches, and in the case of the dog it did bring it back to full hp. Lycy stab injury seen quite more brutal than the one the dog got

Feel like Maximus is a future villain.hes portrayed as a typical good guy but shows signs of being very greedy and power hungry. The ghoul I predict is more of a good guy who’s become a bit of an anti hero because of the wasteland.

Love these breakdowns and the show is perfect!

According to Juicehead. The Ghoul's revolver is a MTs255. Russian made shotgun. Love your work and the show breakdowns.

Great stuff bud! Love it!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Enjoying these. I really liked the 2nd ep. I am trying to pace myself.

I am surprised that you didn't talk about the end credit where the camera has that pull out of the Boston Airport in ruins...

Love these breakdowns

The shop owners rifle is a ruger mini 14. Semi auto rifle chambered in 5.56. Great all purpose weapon and would definitely be desirable in the wasteland. Happy to see it make an appearance in fallout.

Definitely a super mutant under the sheet, I felt like the whole squire holding the knights equipment is a slight nod to how you would just give all your companions all the extra stuff to carry just a thought. It’s also probably based of medieval squires and knights too but just something I thought about when watching. Edit:I think it’s a ripper but just a medical one like a scientist would use because he is one the ones from the games are military/industrial rippers

Goggins CARRIED this show. Along with some help from Lucy in later episodes. I absolutely HATE how Maximus entire storyline was written but I feel his acting was on par with the other two main characters. The ghoul (goggins character) should continue to lead the way as a north star for the story. The evolution you get to see him go through in the flashbacks is some of the best storytelling in the series so far.

My favorite song is from The Ink Spots I don't want to set the world on fire.

I wasnt expecting Dogmeat lore. Loved it.

Filly, is the TV shows Megaton/Diamond City. I'm so glad, the TV show is its own entity, dropping easter eggs as a tip of the hat to all the Fallout games. Just finished the last episode today, and all I can say is, *WOW!!!*

I think they vendor is named June as her sign says, MA JUNES SUNDRIES. Also I think they are leading to that tech in Wilzig's neck to give the user psychic powers as the dogs in the Enclave base were responding to mental commands from the scientists while wearing some type of harness that reminded me of the Enclave tech they used in the games to control the Deathclaws. And later he knows her by name even though she never told him and I doubt he would have had knowledge that she was that exact person from Enclave records.

Look at the different weights of the CX-404 and Lucy, that is why the Stempak healed CX-404 completely, and if you look at how the stimpak works in order to get more healing you need level in the Medic Perk (Fallout 3, Fallout New Vegas and Fallout 4)

Keep going dude, I watched them all now and it gets even better. Will rematch too lol

10:13 Those were Sheepsquatch growls and not Yao Guai growls. Neat little reference there.

Hello, Great breakdown! One thing I noticed was during the Ghoul's gunfight in Filly the slow motion bullets was a nod to VATS. 😎

Love the show its so good and love your breakdowns thanks man

Life long Fallout fan here, played 1,2, and 3 when I was a kid. New vegas released when I was in college, spent hundreds of hours in fallout 4, and currently have over 3k hours in 76. I've enjoyed ALL of them, no matter their flaws, be it poor writing or a buggy mess. I focus on the good qualities. I will never understand the obsession some fallout fans have with needing to put New Vegas on such a high pedestal, claiming Obsidian is the better developer than Bethesda, even though objectively they're no better or worse, they're both fairly surface level cliche writing styles. These new vegas fanatics will regurgitate the same lines to anyone with an ear, and refuse to listen to any other opinion. But, with this tv show, I'm seeing a lot of mixed reviews. people claiming it's retconning lore from some of the games. These are most likely the same people who have a hard on for Obsidian and love to hate BGS, even though they've never played any fallout game other than NV, so they don't have a clue about Fallouts lore other than what they've been told by other NV fanatics regurgitating the same nonsense.

Yes, please continue this series I want to see what you have to say about all the episodes

Anyone catch the Wasteland Survival Guide in the shop? Cool to see direct actions you took in other games showing up here

Keep doing these videos, I’d like to see if your opinion of the show follows the same trajectory mine did lol.

LOVING IT! JUST BINGED WATCH THR SERIES...AHH! I'LL BE BACK 4 MORE

That was his jock strap plate he asked to have cleaned. Hilarious

It may also be called filly, cause I believe this is the area filmed in my town in NJ. Which the closest city is philly

Another great episode. I thought the same thing, it was a supermutant

As to the stimpack, let's say Lucy is 125 lbs, and dogmeat is 35 lbs. Roughly 1/3 the weight receiving the same dosage.

Its the mini nuke gun.

Ghoul-Cooper tossing caps after the gunfight felt like a Han Solo homage, “sorry bout the mess” 😂 I think stimpacks follow New Vegas hardcore rules here: the protagonist might need a Dr’s bag or advanced care for certain severe injuries, but a stim will heal most companions immediately.

The pistol the ghoul uses is a MTs255 revolving shotgun that's been cut down to a pistol

The dog with the hand in its mouth is an homage to Kurosawa's "Yojimbo," when the masterless samurai first walks into the village he will eventually both destroy and save and has a dog like that trot across his path.

Good job! One piece of feedback for the future. There are a couple phrases you say every 15-20 seconds. like "Absolutely." You do a great job with these, just switch up your phrasing more, and you'll be golden!

At 13:47 the boot incident is cleared up later in the season but i will respectfully not mention anything further at this time to follow the no spoilers guidelines for movies and tv shows that others have not seen yet.

The toss the dog gs for being too small and that’s why he keeps dog meat. Pretty big thing to miss

🔫😄 "HI! HEY HELLO!! I just want to ask if I can post this comment here!" Lucy pointing her gun at that man in the beginning was so funny lmao

At 12:16 where Max is aiming, maybe he is using vats but that isn't shown as yet?

Lol certain things happened and i just thought 'my God they did that?!' like shooting his leg off

No word on the insane cameo for Titus?

Great, keep it up‼️

The way the Yoguai just throws around the Power Armor was kind of disappointing. But I do like that they have the HUD showing in front of Maximus every time we get a view from the interior GoPro.

Watch the second episode and man it is exciting I want it to last until the next gen update which now is 25th but the songs are awesome I listen to the fallout soundtrack on Spotify and man this is awesome

The piece of armor Maxim is told to clean is the groin cover or the "cup" and the vendors gun is a mini 14 not a hunting rifle

I loved seeing the classic 10mm pistol. I wish it was in 76.

Thats a lever action shotgun the Ghoul has besides that other high powered weapon, I'm assuming another shotgun. Sticking with similar types of weapons would be the way to go so you can carry around the same ammo and not different types. I like the pre-war stuff they show us. As a history buff I like history even if its fictional

Since the guy with epic name didn’t notice, Titus removes specifically his cod-piece for Maximus to clean. To those unfamiliar with armour a cod-piece is the metal shell placed over the genitals to protect one of your most important assets. It’s demonstrating how much of an ass Titus is. What goes around comes around though, keen eyed viewers will notice that once Maximus is piloting the PA and his new squire Thaddeus arrives Max throws his cod-piece for Thaddeus to clean. Just the way Titus did before him. It’s great. I’m not sure if the Lucy-Cooper bullying occurs in EP2 so I’ll wait to finish your breakdown, but I’ve got some thoughts about that I can’t wait to share.
