Caesar dies in every scenario except the one where the Courier has a high medicine skill.

12:22 I thought it was implied that the anti feral ghoul serum is what is in the IV bags that you show as background footage when Cooper is in the coffin.

The asshole knight being played by Micheal rappaport was a good casting choice

Yeah the whole "Moldaver is actually good" thing almost got me for a second then i remembered she brought a group of actual raiders to pillage a vault full of innocent people. People not unlike her lover or best friend, when she could have brought a team of NCR remnants. When you learn the reverence moldaver had for Lucy's mother, it just seems unbelievable that she would choose to put her children at risk, and do more than what was absolutely necessary.

This show taught me two things about Jonathan Nolan: 1. He REALLY likes messing with redditors. 2. He REALLY likes video games.

The joke with Brian Cranston as a roller coaster tycoon made me laugh way too hard

I think you still missed some things in the show. About one of your two main criticisms: Cooper's family definitely *is not* in Vault 31. That's a vault for middle managers. Cooper is looking for another vault.

"Bryan Cranston is... the Rollercoaster Tycoon" I'd watch!

12:26 he did have an iv attached to him while underground

The slow mo kinda makes sense if you think about how you would incorporate VATS into a live action Fallout series

The way I read the sex thing with the BoS is that, basically, they've got all these child soldiers they're training to send out to the wasteland to fight, die, and find tech...and that's it. They don't care if they know how to have sex or not, because that's irrelevant to the Brotherhood. So as a result, You have alll of these emotionally stunted, soon-to-be soldiers that have never learned sex ed, explaining it to each other.

Personally, I think the protagonists Align with the game as follows Norm= Fallout 1 A vault Dweller trying to solve the issues or their vault and likely the crisis caused by a broken water filtration chip. Maximus=Fallout 2 A Wasteland native on a quest to prove himself to the wider world and secure a treasure for his tribe. Lucy=Fallout 3 Vault Dweller looking for their father who it turns out knows more about the outside world than he initially let on. The Ghoul=Fallout 4 A Pre-War veteran with extensive knowledge of power armor looking for their lost cryogenically frozen lost child.

I saw this thumbnail and thought “huh, some person has ripped off the thumbnail format for that video essay guy I love” - for some reason it never crossed my mind that you’d actually make a video on this series. Thanks for your insight as always!

About everyone's favourite gouhl, i always figured the iv above his grave was supplying him with his medication to keep him fresh if they ever needed to dig him up again. Did i miss something?

I am infertile from eating scented candles. The

The "Im simply going to harvest your organs" probably summarizes the whole series pretty well.

Holy shit a video on a recent show

@14:42 Todd Howard & Jonathan Nolan confirmed that the did not retcon New Vegas. 2277 is not the year the nuke dropped on Shandy Sands

Goddammit. Now I want Cranston's RC Tycoon.

Something that annoyed me about Moldaver. She needed Lucy to use as leverage to get the code from Hank. Why did Moldaver leave Lucy behind in the vault if she was essential to her plan?

I dont agree with all your criticisms but appreciate the quality of this review overall as your points were articulated and reasoned and much better than a lot of other criticisms some youtubers have brought up which seem to mainly be "New Vegas Reeeeeeeee" or "women and black people in a show Yuck!" That said I argue that the story about vault 31 was not massively foreshadowed in my opinion. Sure we knew something sketchy was up with 31 and that they seemed to be influencing the other vaults but we didn't know that it was full of Vault-tec employees in cryosleep and I liked how this tied in with the Bud's Buds scheme we heard mentioned in a flashback scene. Also I don't think the NCR woman was really shown to be a good person. She more seemed to me like someone who used to be good but got twisted after the destruction of Shady Sands and was prepared to do whatever it took to acheive her aims hence why she used the raiders to attack the Vault. Lastly I don't think the show explicitly confirms that Vault-tec starts the war. The conversation between the CEOs more shows they were prepared to do this not that they actually did. In fact I think they might have planned to do this but events overtook them and the war started earlier than they expected. A big reason I think this is that we see the bombs drop while Cooper and his daughter were at a birthday party. I definitely do not think his wife would have allowed her daughter to go to that party if she knew the bombs were about to drop she would have probably already been in a vault if so.

Can you do burn notice and psych your next retrospective series review. Those two showers were phenomenal both on USA network same as white collar.

I agree on the Maldover thing: I thought it was pretty ham fisted to have her be “the good guy all along”. The show would’ve benefited from keeping her more morally ambiguous at the end - like she is a batshit mass murderer, but she genuinely wants to rebuild the NCR. It seemed like the show was a bit too much on her side at the end and forgot about her crazy cultiness

I genuinely didn’t even think for a second that Lucy was even aiming at the ghoul in the finale. I thought it was just a dramatic shot of her shooting her mother when I watched it

While the Fallout games do have a dark humor to them, I think the show leaned on comedy (not even good comedy) a bit TOO much. They tried to make it 50/50, when for me, the dark/comedic balance should be closer to 70/30. Good review. I thought the first episode and last episode were quite weak, but the stuff in the middle was decent. Not a bad show, but certainly not the second coming everyone is making it out to be. I agree that the New Vegas hook is strong enough to bring me back, otherwise, I'd just move on.

I would like to point out that it doesn't say that shady sands was destroyed in 2277, it says it fell and then there's an arrow to a nuke that implies that the new happened later, Howard confirmed this! Edit: it's quite impressive that people actually don't understand that a civilization a country whatever can "fall" still be around and then be destroy later like that's a pretty sad that our educational system can't make people understand that, it's kind of sad but hey at least they have the internet and that internet drama!

You got a lot wrong, let's go down the list. 1. Cooper, while buried, is being drip fed the same mysterious substance he takes later in the series, it's not a plot hole. The relatively low amount he needs to be fed while underground as opposed to the constant supply he needs could be chalked up to activity, the more active he is, the more he decays, this is consistent with ferals in F4 who are usually lying still like a corpse until a human walks by. 2. Vault 31 is not the admin vault where Cooper's wife is. It's explicitly stated that it's for junior management, senior management has their own control vault. 3. It actually is plausible that LA would still be wired 200 years later, that whole region was NCR central as in this timeline Shady Sands is in the LA ruins. 4. Surprised you weren't annoyed by how Cooper is able to bring down dozens of T-60s but Maximus still kicked his ass in Ep2 for most of the fight. He forgot about the weakness or needed a special bullet? Anyway, good ep. Farscape episode sometime?

Yes Man ending being the likely cannon is so hype.

I think a lot of your criticisms leave a lot to be desired. Don't get me wrong, i don't think the show is perfect. It has minor issues and some holes that we'll have to wait until season 2 to see if they get filled. But outside of some of your nitpicks, I don't think your criticisms are super valid. 1.Pacing: You say that the show takes too long to get to things you already figured. As if storytelling was just giving information to the audience and nothing else. With Maximus and the Titus, Iwas wondering if you had ADHD because it's one scene thats a few minutes long, yet you act like it was the focus of the episode. And a character like Maximus that had been brought up by the brotherhood for years may need something more serious than "This guys a dick" to betray him. Maybe something like the threat of death, which is where the scene goes. With the Vault 31 conspiracy, you act as if the show doesn't expect you to know something's up and you're painstaking waiting for the characters to catch up to you. But but in the "When things look glum, vote 31" Norm knows something up with 31, you and he are on the same page. Norm, and presumably the audience, wants details. Why are they conspiring to control the other vaults like this? What makes them different? Is it an experiment? Something else? You just seem to think you're so smart for figuring out the start of the mystery and completly disregarding the rest of it. I just dont buy that the pacing of scenes or information to the audience is too slow. Except with the shows over use of slow-mo, I'll give you that one. 2. Morality: In a series famous for its ethical delemas, its interesting how quickly and certainly you are to convict Moldaver as the capital B bad guy becuase she raided the vault for the key to unlimited energy. I'll remind you in New Vegas 3 different factions and pretty damn blood thirsty and kill hundreds, possibly more, to secure the hoover dam. And thats not even unlimited energy, just a lot. And all she had to do to get it was raid the home base of her oldest, most viscious and hated enemy while also getting revenge for the greatest attrocity.commited against your people. Downside, some innocent, or as close as possible when dealing with vault tec citizens, will die. As far as ethical connundrumes in the fallout universe go, that seems like a pretty easy one to me. Is she a morally perfect angel who has done nothing wrong, fuck no. But you write her off really quickly for reasons i do not understand. Okay, there's more i kind of wanted to say, like how you thinking cold fusion is boring and it would have been better if we got a zombie robot is stupid, though I'm honestly not sure if you were being sarcastic or not. Or that i think your reading into some things incorrectly, such as Maximus's shitty sex ed, but im tired. I dont think your critisims here are very good. If anyone wants to disagree i can go on and we can discuss.

9:40 the boneyard was repopulated and rebuilt partially by the ncr. unless the wasteland has jet-addicted copper theives, there would be recent electrical infrastructure in LA (the boneyard)

my fiancé and i watched the show and finished it a couple days ago. i absolutely loved the show and all the easter eggs, and frequently info dumped on him since he hasn’t played any fallout games (beyond starting 4 and getting irritated that he spent a lot of time editing both nate and nora only for nora to die). however, loving the show doesn’t take away from the fact that there were things that didn’t make sense and took away from the narrative. thanks for the video pointing everything out!!

Thaddeus has the perk Ghoulification I think, is not rly a Ghoul. But he heals when exposed to radiation. They kinda do the Perk thing in the show for several characters. Maximus has that idiot Perk :D Because of that he doesnt know about sex or other things. Other Ghouls kinda died even without headshots. So its maybe just Cooper who is that tanky, you also have to take in mind that he is mostly always full on drugs, speak also MedX!

Dear Slipmaker.....is there any chance for a Series breakdown of the South korean Zombie Series on Netflix All of us are dead? It's my favorite zombie series ever made.

What’s your thoughts on invincible

Why would Lucy's brother go into stasis when he just could release all the management and thus force brain to open the door?

Man, you using that clip with the power armor circular valve flexing because it's made of cosplay-style materials just reminded me how much I noticed that the first time and was taken out of the moment. I kept subconsciously looking for other moments when its clear material softness would show up again. 😞

Matt Berry must be protected at all costs

I loved the ending, especially the vault Tec scene. Every prewar scene had me extremely engaged

Man, the idea that Todd Howard or anyone at Bethesda would want to ruin New Vegas, or people's memory of it or it's legacy or whatever, is just ludicrous. Fallout is still Bethesda's IP, why in the hell would they wanna self-sabotage now when so much more money, time, and resources are on the line for development? Shit's crazy, mang. Todd Howard has been on podcasts and interviews where he straight-up said he really liked New Vegas. Obsidian did an incredible job, which I presume was why Bethesda gave them the opportunity to make that game. Because they felt Obsidian could do the best job out of whatever other developers they were considering to offer that job to. Collectively as gamers we really gotta get our heads out of our asses, or mainly just step back from all the mob-think because that shit will make you stupid.

It feels weird that moldaver doesn’t get any sort of call out or feels any regret about the slaughter of vault 31, she could try to justify it by believing everyone in the vault is just like Hank who willing to destroy others even innocents for the sake of their own goals (which adds a bit or irony how she destroys innocents for her selfless one) or it’s her hardened to try and save the world no matter the cost post the destruction of Shady Sands, but it doesn’t…

7:12 holy shit he is a lot like Dean maybe we will see him in a season 2 prewar scene that could be cool

Dean domino is possibly one of rhe best fallout characters. Love him and the story of the sierra madre. Also i wouldnt mind fallout vids lol. Great content love all ur vids! You got me into watching fargo. Currently on the second half of season 3.

12:20 bro, what do you think was inside the IV bag? They set up that whole scene by saying that he was buried down there and deliberately kept alive so they could dig him up and carve pieces off of him. There's even a guard there who was probably in charge of changing out the IV with the ghoul juice. You even showed the IV in this vid so idk how you missed that.

New Vegas makes reasonable points of why the Legion and the NCR wouldn’t control New Vegas. So, I like the idea that not only does Yes Man control New Vegas but also Victor. Victor would be a more reasonable and stable leader than a robot that says yes to every single request. Yes Man could say yes to the Brotherhood of Steel if they ask for Hoover Dam but Victor probably doesn’t say yes. I could also see a potential scenario where Mr. House rigged Victor to run a Mr. House AI in the event of his mortal death, so no matter what the House always wins.

So I only played the android game for a short while so my questions are just based on the tv series- 1) Why did the head have to bring the dog? He doesn't seem to play any essential part in this season. 2) The brotherhood are the remnants of the military? 3) Where does Coop get his unlimited ammo?

I also kinda saw Cooper's character as a nod to raul from new Vegas as well. The whole ghoul cowboy bit. I guess the drug addict ghoul part is a little bit of Hancock too

I never watch reviews for shows as I never watch tv. But I did watch fallout and see this review. This is how they should be done. Epic, lad. Thanks 🤘👍

DID HE CALL THADEUS HOT

Also, am I the only one who is starting to think that Cooper Howard's wife is the new overseer of vault 33? Or its his daughter and She's just been thawed out for quite some time..

25:03 what's this from?

I have to disagree on the series attempting to "sell" Moldaver's nobility. The Fallout universe showcases what happens when ordinary people have to do horrible things for the right reasons, and what happens when horribly misled people *think* they have the moral right to take action for the rest of us. Pay attention, and you'll realize Moldaver has no redemption arc. She did what she did, there's no excusing it - and she did it to give her people - and the memory of Shady Sands, in effect - a purpose. Of course, it only follows that the Brotherhood are going to turn the Cold Fusion tech to their own ends. There's no winner, here. New Vegas has several similar instances, as do Fallout 1 and 2. Your best choices typically come with a catch, and you're never allowed to play as the "Good Guy", per se. Powder Gangers might be initially violent, but siding with them reveals that not all of them are sociopaths or hardened criminals. Some of them are just poor SOBs with serious problems. Ceasar's Legion offers a complete and working social structure that only seems barbarous and wrong because the setting rightfully assumes the Courier is going to be disgusted by slavery or crucifixion. Only the Bethesda Fallouts tend to have narrative structures that simplify things, with Fallout 4 only having a few added moral wrinkles compared to Fallout 3's defacto stating that the East Coast BoS had gone full-on Paladin Build. If anything, I'm pleasantly surprised by how morally grey Amazon's take on Fallout has been. I was actually afraid that with Bethesda as producers, we'd get another case of an easily-hateable villain. The fact is the series does a great job at illustrating the murkiness of the series, and Cooper Howard is probably the best embodiment of that. If the only way I could get some answers about my wife and child's whereabouts involved turning into a centuries-old mercenary with Murder Hobo tendencies, then I'd do it in a heartbeat.

I absolutely loved this show! Me and my best friend watched it together and we were both so hyped about literally everything bc we both love the games sooooo much. It was so insane to turn my brain off and inject pure Fallout into my system. Everything wasn't absolutely perfect but for a show I thought was gonna end up being garbage when it was announced, I was absolutely thrilled with it and can't wait until the next season!

You were way too harsh on the exposition in the show. You have to remember that fallout fans isn’t the only one that is going to watch the show. All the vaults is evil things if not properly explain will confuse new audience. A lot of show doing exposition way worse, they talk about every little things, making a documentary almost. The fallout show not so much, it explains what need to be explain, that is relevant to the plots. Otherwise it would be extremly unenjoyable to a lot of people who never play fallout.

I went in without knowing much about Fallout and of course if you play the game the plot points seem slow. However I wouldn’t have been able to understand the series if it didn’t take its time revealing information. The first three episodes dragged but after that it really picks up. When The Ghoul’s wife revealed her idea, I haven’t had a twist hit me so hard because of all the emotional implications for both humanity and the characters involved. That episode where Lucy and Max go into a vault kept me guessing and at the end, I had to conclude that the wasteland had changed Lucy in a noticeable way.

I’m not saying I like it, or don’t- a lot hangs on the execution- but a crazy fan theory that seems true is that possibly the BoS absorbed the Legion or vice versa somehow. Red and gold emblems, even more fascistic than the Brotherhood already is, weird about sex, Latin names. 🤷🏻 would definitely explain Max’s sex ed

When you do Psych will there be pineapples in every shot?

Great video. I really enjoyed the show, but yeah the finale was mid. In regards to the New Vegas stuff, while I love the game and agree it probably isn't retconned, I think your reason for believing it's still canon is slightly off. Just because the city is shown (potentially destroyed) to still physically exist, doesn't mean the story that took place there hasn't been retconned in favor of something else. Instead I'd say in response that the blackboard is inconclusive for several reasons. Firstly, the 2277 date and the mushroom cloud drawn in chalk are separated by an arrow which probably implies that "The Fall of Shady Sands" and it being nuked are separate events, with the bombing taking place post-Vegas (even though the cloud is the only thing on the board without a date attached). Secondly, the sign in front of shady sands' crater says "first capitol of the NCR" which maybe means that the capitol was moved before the bombing. That one I'm not sure for personally, because the whole reason shady sands was nuked to begin with is because it was the location of the NCR's government. Anyway again great video

First time seeing your videos. Only a few minutes in and I can already see a difference in what you make versus some of the AI generated script based videos It's the little things like your Brian Cranston in roller coaster tycoon example, that really help keep a viewer engaged. Keep up the good work you have earned a like now go out and earn my sub

Mister House must be the cannon for new vegas on the show. Considering he has appeared at the meeting at Vault Tec, and that Lucy's father was a pre war Vault Tec employee that survived on cryo, he might be there to seek him out.

I really enjoyed the show, however my biggest gripe characters find each other so easily. It just seems too convenient. Maximus is nearly dying in his power armor, oh hey theres lucy just finding him under a fucking bridge. 7/10

Insane turnaround on this one Mr slip maker

14:55 There are more problems with this show in regards of retconning than just "boo hoo, NCR was nuked". I love all fallouts before 76 and I have no problem with NCR's capital getting nuked. The problems were: 1) It happened 3 years before the Fallout New Vegas even began (I am willing to forgive this because it could be a production mistake) 2) The reason for it getting nuked was really stupid 3) NCR reduced to raiders and they lost to BoS somehow 4) New Vegas being completely destroyed. Even in the shot before the end credits the city and it's area is lifeless, abandoned and has no electricity And then there are other fallout1&2 retcons: 5) Boneyard just does not exist 6) Ghouls are magical zombies now. Also they dont need food and water except when they do. 7) Ghoul serum 8) Vault Tec nuked the America for profits (???). Also that whole meeting retcons Mr House's character and Sinclair. 9) Enclave is back, somehow 10) BoS is now Adeptus Mechanicus that wants to help people So, overall, even though Fallout 1,2, New Vegas weren't retconned (supposedly) everything you did before doesn't matter and had no impact and everything you learned from them was a lie. Meanwhile, Todd doesnt ruin 3 or 4 because they are his fallouts. Also naming the ghoul Howard and making him the origin of Vault Boy was just idiotic vanity.

10:14 i mean kinda i can remember max getting scholded by the scholar for not being able to identify the pre war items in class. and even when lucy makes a point about “using pre war tech to find pre war tech

The nerds are out in force

as an electrician, those wires can probably still hold a charge after all those years. not safely but kinda possible for them to still be able to light up for a minute or two

I’ve always loved your retrospectives and it was great to have one so quickly. Short review but short show. Like you, I joined with 3. Although New Vegas is the superior title, I thought 3 gets an unfair amount of… maybe not hate, but certainly… disappointment. I like the show, I live bouncing between the characters, the vault and before the war. The characters are fun but also engaging and it looks fantastic. Total agreement with you that there were enough nods to the games to feel fun without smashing you in the face with every reference.

could u pls do a veep retrospective

That Mr Plinkett reference had me on the floor

I know the “This series has always been silly” argument can be annoying if taken too far, but it’s a genuine point. Lets be honest, some fans take this franchise WAY too seriously. For my part, I felt it juggled the goofy and the grim very well, and implemented it in a way that fit the characters. What I mean by that is most of the silly humor comes either from vault dwellers or people’s reactions to vault dwellers, while darker humor is left to characters like The Ghoul. I hope i explained that well enough. I’m just happy I enjoyed the show and actually care about what happens next.

Ella Purnell played the young Kathy in Never Let Me Go, which is a movie where the main characters have their organs harvested. I feel like that scene/line was almost a reference to her previous work.

Im just really excited for the roller coaster tycoon show😂. “I want a coaster that slams the guest into the ground at 120 mph now why wont you let me do that”😊

Waiting for Slipmaker to do a review on Peaky Blinders, I feel it is a series he definitely can get into if he hasnt tried it yet

bryan cranston as The Rollercoaster Tycoon would go absolutely insane i feel like

I'd argue that the NCR ending being canon for the show makes perfect sense. Like you said, Slip, they were already spread way too thin and had plenty of internal problems. So if Shady Sands got nuked and the government fell apart, it makes sense that New Vegas would be left to fend for itself, and, thanks to the Courier killing Mr. House, it wouldn't have his Securitron aemy protecting it anymore, either. So no wonder it looks like the city's going through hard times.

There is only one correct Roller Coaster Tycoon story, especially with Bryan Cranston as the star. A madman builds the world's best theme park only to magically turn the whole place into a death trap while at max capacity.

I liked the series overall, but I'm really surprised by the amount of people who liked the series AND liked the finale. The boardroom scene was really bad.

I think that John Doman could come back for a live-action Caesar if they want. I'd love to see it.

Really hoping that we'll see a Starz Spartacus series retrospective some day!

14:58 kinda cope but i think this one is some kind of flashforward like the epilogue with Observatory and it being all bombed out (more than it already is) and littered with downed vertibirds and other battle leftovers

Genuinely disagree with the take that Moldaver was 'the good guy all along'. You can make the argument that she does the least vile stuff out of any faction, but she does some vile stuff to get what she wants. She dies getting exactly what she wanted, with a road of corpses behind her. Hell, i thought it was implied she was psychopathic for keeping the mother alive, despite being a ruined Ghoul. Thats why Lucy kills her; she needs to make tough choices, but wont let revenge and evilness ruin the upstanding morality she was raised under. Putting her mother down was the 'least bad' thing to do, even though it involved... killing her mother.

Honestly, as someone who has a pretty surface level knowledge of Fallout, I found a lot of the reveals at the end pretty gripping. It never occurred to me that vault tec ended the world themselves. At the very least, I agree with you on how they tried to make Mulldover (however you spell that) some secret noble character. I'm really just excited to see more of Cooper in season 2 lol

when people say bethesda is "struggling" I don't think they understand what that word means.

Come on, that point about Moldaver sooo misses the mark. She's a 200 year old woman who had seen Vault-Tec sabotage her every attempt to make the world a better place. She saw Vault-Tec destroy not one but TWO civilizations in their insane attempt to control the future. She's a woman jaded and angry, of course she would have no issues unleashing raiders at a bunch of Vaut-Tec stoodges, in her eyes they are far from innocent. Is she a bad guy, yes, is she a good guy, also yes. Moldaver is an anti-villain.

You should totally do a review of Fargo Season 5.

11:50 I think the point of this is to show that the Brotherhood DOESN'T have any sex ed. The way Maximus talks about it is like what you hear from middle school boys on the playground. I think they're trying to show that he was basically taught nothing about it and his only frame of reference is what he's heard, which isn't a lot because he's not too popular. It's also possible that other Brotherhood initiates just lied to him because it was funny. Not sure how you could see that scene and assume that it was the Brotherhood that told him his dick would explode like a pimple.

I loved the show ! They could have used time stamps to give people that aren't familar with show and timeline right at the beginning letting them know its around 2077 when the war started and 200 years later when you get lucy .

More video game related reviews! I'd be curious on your take of the arkham games? or Suicide Squad kill the justice league of you tried that?

Great, now I want to see Cranston as the Rollercoaster Tycoon ^^.

Any interest in doing a video on House md?

Eh, i think being able to "predict" what is happening may also be a reviewer illness. I personally thought Maximus may actually _kill_ his knight, since at that oint I was still half convinced that he _did_ put the razor in Danes shoe. Also, I didn't feel like the slow mo shot at the end was supposed to fool _us_ it was Coop who didn't know who she was aiming at. I also did not see the actual Vault 31 thing coming until the last episode, I thought they were just taught different things. I very much enjoyed the mysteries, so I think to say universially that everyone is going to see thiese tweists coming is a bit presumptious.

Why is it that Bethesda can only write “vault dweller leaves vault to find family member, is fish out of water, hilarity ensues” Fallout stories?

Why does Lucy not remember going to the surface, and why did she know who Raider are if she thinks everyone is pooped

I noticed some Wizard Of Oz in the show too, cowardly lion, scarecrow, and most obvious Tin man, oh and Toto.

Yeah I wasn't a big fan of the last episode, either(and that damn chalk board a few episodes before). Man, I never thought I would have preferred Ulysses to be the one to destroy shady sands over Lucy's dad. Also cowboy cooper is the best. Season 2 will be make or break for me(but I truly did enjoy my time with season 1). I hope the moldaver is truly dead and fallout tactics gets some love(vault 0 and the mid west BoS were dope). Imperfect but fun. On a side note Emil accidentally made the fallout 4 guy one of the war criminal from the fallout 1 tv intro(the laughing guy not the executioner).

My biggest ploblem with the show is that they seem to take every possible opportunity to undercut any tension with a dumb joke or the classic oldies that people apparently listen to when they play the game.. its not that the music is in the show that bothers me, its that its so loud and overused and really takes me out of the moment, especially during the fight scenes. Also i think the hokey vault boy 'origin' story was stupid and unnecessary. they should've just left it to comparing your thumb to the mushroom cloud

I agreed with your point on the finale vault tec and co reveal felt overwrought. But anacdotally my Gen X parents who don't play video games loved it. They obviously saw the broad strokes coming, but were thouroughly entertained by the details. Whereas I who love New Vegas felt this was somewhat covered ground.

Video so good I just assumed I was already subbed, lemme fix that mistake!

Damn i just realised the Fallout New Vegas Reference in this whole scene 1:26, it is just a huge nod to the Intro of FNV lol

One thing that I can't stand is when the bad guy turns out good at the end, and it's like the writers forgot how awful that character was. A redemption arc is great, but I think Nolan tends to skip steps on the way there. I remember feeling that way about some of the characters in HBOs "Westworld".

waiting on the succession retrospective mr maker
