The Overseer is the leader of the vault. Like a mayor.

To answer some questions: The bombs drop in 2077, fallout is an alternate timeline and uses retro 1950s aesthetic. The fallout world has Fusion power but are way behind us in electronics. The best thing they did with the show is NOT trying to make it realistic, Lucys marriage application is her character sheet for example. The needle Lucy uses after the stabbing is called a stim-pac and it instantly restores your health. Lucys father was the overseer of vault 33, which is the leader of the vault. Raiders break into vaults to loot them if they find one open, as series goes on you will find out why Moldaver took Lucys dad, it is the main plot. The Brotherhood of steel use prewar technology to bring order to the wasteland, weather anybody wants it or not. The giant bag Maximus carries is an inside joke about the players in the games ridiculous inventory. Since this centers on the old idea of "survivable nuclear war" radiation can just mutate you, The Ghoul is a mutant and are essentially immortal.

"What the hell am I watching?!?!" Game of Vaults.

Now you are young, to those of us growing up during The Cold War that intro is what we feared would happen- every day. But we lived our lives. When I teach my The History of The Cold War classes, I always start by showing them a five minute video of nuclear explosions with eerie music, to make your generation understand what it all was- and what you will have to get used to again with Putoloni's sabre-rattling (though he is too much of a coward to do it). During the Cold War, the USSR was planning to open the war by dropping 600+ merely on my little Denmark. The game is set in an alternative timeline, where the transistor was never invented, so everything used vacuum-tubes like early computers. And thus the timeline starts diverging from ours in the year after WW2, and progress is generally much slower. But there is also no Cuban Missile Crisis, Long Island, etc, and no reckoning with its past, so the US carries on in a sort of Truman-Eisenhower Superamerica with nuclear powered cars, etc. But in the 21st century fossil fuels and other resources starts running out, and The Resource Wars starts; where Europe, Africa and The Middle East is torn apart, and China invades Alaska to get the last remaining oil resource on the planet. And in 2077... Boom. And oh yea, the US turns authoritarian semi-Fascist, a bit like Starship Troopers. Anyway, think of the game and series as set in a sort of retro-futuriatic post apocalypse, IE a future as imagined in the fifties, but then add a nuclear exchange of superpowers. In the games you find all those tragic and dark stories as you explore the Wasteland, the series show them, but both do a very good job of what good SciFi should; holding up a dark mirror to humanity- and with Fallout it is really dark.

Looking forward to this journey with you.

Subscriber earned! Can't wait to go on this journey with you! This is such an amazing show, it got me into the games!

To be very specific, the bombs dropped on October 23, 2077. I remember the date because Oct. 23 is my husband's birthday. ETA: Janey's actor is so adorable and really sold the terror. My blood pressure went way up during that scene.

The 'made of sand' people reminded me of Pompeii. Very evocative and eerie.

that rimlight is hilarious

"Is this L.A.?" Yes. Well, not anymore I guess

I don't know if you've ever watched "The Simpsons", but Lucy's supposed to be a 'Ned Flanders in the apocalypse'. Someone's probably already said it, but it makes me laugh, so can't be said enough.

Norman might be older than Lucy, but he’s still her little brother.

Olá! Cheguei agora e já estou esperando pelas próximas reações! Bom trabalho! (Hello! I just arrived and I'm already waiting for the next reactions! Good job!)

Yes you look very good..

It is interesting the head of the Brotherhood of Steele is careful to use the proper pronoun for aspirant Dane. They are portrayed by a non-binary actor

O wow that is a beautiful kitty ❤

Have to say on the thumbnail you give off bad vibes 😂😂😂 I am happy that that's not the case
