The code to start cold fusion, 101097, is the release date of the 1st Fallout game. The skull at the end is a deathclaw, once of, if not the most powerful creature in the Fallout universe. The city at the end is New Vegas, one of the most popular Fallout games.

You might have noticed that the Black women in the background, who introduced him to Hank, was Betty. That is Vault 31 Betty. The Vaults do exists, as they said, hundreds of them. All sporting different experiments. The examples from the execs are from the games. VaultTec might out-evil the umbrella corporation ^^; Though the Brotherhood of Steel aren't that good too. Like they straight up murked everyone in that quite functional little place. If Maximus' friend hadn't thought quick on their feet, Maximus might have been offed.

You don't know that but the scene when she says "War .... war never changes" is so cool to the gamers because every fallout game that i know starts and ends with these words.

FYI I used to live in Hollywood. Griffith Observatory is in Griffith Park which is east of the Hollywood sign. I don't remember there being a tunnel exit. Hollywood Park was actually the name of the horse racing track in Inglewood. It was torn down and the new SoFi Stadium now sits on it. Just saying.

This Episode managed to tie up nearly all the loose ends, and have stuff for both new viewers and fans. All the people/companies in the Boardroom meeting are in the games in some way, and all the Vault examplesthey talk about can be found in the games. And that skull and city in the end. New Vegas, that's going to be quite a ride. Excellent series, and I'm glad you enjoyed. Barb was getting orders from.....a person, in the shadows. There's more going on than meets the eye. "Someone behind the wheel" indeed.

For fun, I google mapped it and it's about 49 miles by foot to get from Malibu Pier to the Griffith Observatory. That's actually pretty far, considering it's also across a super dangerous nuclear wasteland. Granted, it's probably not quite as far if you walk there directly without keeping to exisitng roads and paths, but still.

Told ya... all puzzle pieces now fit together... =)

Thanks for sharing your reaction to this series with us! It's been a lot of fun watching along with you. Can't wait until season 2! 🙂

So many twists in the story, I love it! What a fantastic episode thanks so much Ola🥰and happy Friday! We made it🙃

Lucy's last Okey-dokey was very dark compared to her previous ones. The Ghoul was right and she will eventually turn into him just to survive. Both of them have suffered betrayal. Cooper was a patriot who fought for his country and believed that Barb would always do the right thing. In the end he was betrayed by his government, Hollywood, Vault-Tec and worse of all Barb. Lucy believed in Vault-tec, her father and even her morals. First her "husband" betrayed her, Vault-tec lied to her, found out her father was a monster and her beliefs were shattered. I would want to see her needing to kill the Ghoul before he goes feral and then loots the body especially the guns and cowboy hat like a true Fallout player.

Stuff’s about to happen…

I thought Lucy would be Jinx in the wasteland at first, but I feel like Ella and the writers have created her as a distinct character. I've tried to get generative AI to make a pic of Lucy posed like Jinx with a minigun and a Fat Man launcher though haha. I'm sure it's significant that Max says his reason for joining the Brotherhood was so he could hurt the people who hurt him. Now he knows who that was. Also, if Vault-Tec is approaching the time to open their vaults in a few decades, I think there will be a war between VaultTec and the Brotherhood, with Max leading the Brotherhood. I don't know if that will happen in the show though, it seems like the timeline would need to be moved up quite a bit for that to happen. Though maybe cold fusion being activated will force VaultTec's hand.

I don't know how the main plot will evolve in the second season, but I hope for this secondary plot: Norm will be saved by Betty, who sends him away from Vault 33 to find a replacement for the water chip, he will want to be accompanied by Chet and along the way two other companions will be added: Thaddeus and the chicken-loving doctor/charlatan.

Robot Bud: "People who make lemonade..." Is that a sly reference to Deezer's Lemonade from Fallout 4? Or to something else?

So glad to have been on this journey with you!

¡Gracias!
