We're "safe" now

Moises Arias deserves so much more recognition for this role. Also, the line “Everyone wants to save the world, they just disagree on how” is honestly as relevant as “War, war never changes”.

"I'd vote for Betty! Not these 2 clowns!" Played right into Vault-Tecs plan I see 😂

It’s entirely possible the suit DOES have a panic open system for when the power core is popped… and Maximus may just not know how to trigger it. Like the Ghoul said, first rule of using a power suit is “read the manual”.

Maximus really rocking that Speech 0 build with that "Oh, he's... he's dead." shit 😂😂

Norm has one of the more interesting storylines in the series. I didn’t expect he’d be a character whose story I’d be so invested in, but there’s always a cool eerie feeling when he’s on screen.

Lucy was a teacher in Vault 33. There around eight children in the first episode.

They established all the kids in the classroom with Lucy in episode 1. They probably just didn't want to deal with child actor contracts during all these back and fourths in the vaults.

Lucy was being cautious. She was the only reason either side moved at all because she was the only one trying to diffuse the situation. The fact that she got everyone to raise their hands to walk by made the fiends have a harder time getting their guns out. They might even have gone on by, but they saw her pipboy and a vault dweller is good eating for a fiend.

31, 32 and 33 are all connected and Lucy walked FAR to get to the area around Filly so I feel like she'd recognize that they were close to home.

There is more than likely a manual release for the T60, but Maximus absolutely did not read the manual.

“Trust him” wild sentence for a character that has done nothing but lie

While everyone is doing the main quest, Norm decided to do the DLC first instead 😂

The kids were in the classrooms in Episode 1. Theyre there, just not at meetings held by the adults, or at the voting booths, or during the raid from the Raiders. I think its clever that most of the scenes of the vault are in situations where kids wouldnt be present. Though, its probably just easier not having kid actors running around in every scene

"I'm voting for Betty" say Roshi. Because why vote for incompetence when you can vote for evil.

Fun Lore Fact: Shady Sands is an extremely important location to the Fallout franchise as it appeared in Fallout 1 & 2, serving as the birthplace to Fallout’s most iconic factions - the NCR. It would become the biggest force in the west coast but their main capital would be destroyed. There were concerns amongst fans that the destruction of Shady Sands would retcon the events of Fallout New Vegas (another important game in the franchise) since the faction does heavily appear in that title but the creators later confirmed that the destruction occurred after New Vegas & its 100% canon

Remember: on the very first episode Lucy had to go through a selection process to gain the responsibility of getting married to start a family. Not everyone's allowed to just have kids for fear of mutations and stuff. The blonde woman was allowed to have a baby with Bert because she was the last one to get married before Lucy.

Fallout New Vegas players know how bad fiends are Edit: sheera missed some of the teenagers in vault 33 when they were lining up for cake there were some very young people there. For budget reasons the show runners didn’t include very young kids.

They really thought they were cooking at the end lmao

The show is already good enough with the 3 main storylines of The Ghoul, Maximus, and Lucy, but I didn't expect them to keep coming back to vault 31 with a side mystery storyline. This show is great.

Where are the children? They literally showed a whole classroom and a teaching session on EP 1.

12:00 She failed the charisma check and Maximus used Vats on their ass LOL

I love the detail that they smashed the terminal in 32 which was one of the few things that was actually still working

The NCR is founded by the people of Vault 15. The village of Arroyo was founded by the Vault Dweller of Vault 13. And Vault City was built by the people of Vault 8. So even though there are shady shit going on with the vaults, there are good things that has come out of it.

They got hit with the old Wile E Coyote "painting of a tunnel" trap.

Where the hell did they get the idea that that was vault 31 in the end? It's not like 31, 32, and 33 are the only vaults that exists in the world.

The 31-32-33 Vault complex is in Santa Monica, north west of LAX. The Vault which Maximus and Lucy have fallen into is in Hawthorne, south east of LAX. One thing I'm not sure you guys have fully internalized is that there are thousands of Vaults all over North America.

Power core explanation: The suits were made during the war between china and the US, A soldier in power armor was always accompanied by a squad of soldiers, all the power armor was is basically a Smaller, Lighter Tank, Enough to take more hits than a regular soldier and able to carry larger weapons in places where tanks couldnt reach.

33 has enough kids to fill a classroom, we saw them during Lucy’s introduction when she was talking about her passion for American History with a focus on Ethics. We’re not seeing them during the action in Vault 33 because the action isn’t happening in the classroom.

We saw the Vault 33 kids in the first episode during Lucy's introduction when she was teaching her American History Class.😊

You can see Vault 4 on the suits at the end. It's not Vault 31.

A lot of wrong guesses, this is hilarious

5:32 In Fallout 4 you can. It's either Maximus' lack of power armor training is biting him in the ass again, or the writers decided that there weren't actually any emergency eject buttons inside the suit; which would be a weird choice to make. I'm leaning into the former.

the kids are missing because they only had the child actors for one episode, the kids in 33 are fine, presumably the ones resettled to 32 are the childless ones (with the exception of their new overseer) OR they separated them from their kids because 32 still has the school and whantot

Power Armor doesn't usually lock you in, in the game you (or NPCs) would just be forced to exit the armor. There is no key how Thaddeus is shown to have in the episode. Even so, I would just assume the addition of the key and locking system was added by the Brotherhood as a way to prevent what happened to Maximus in Filly, wastelanders or anyone, wouldn't be able to open it. In this case it was just used to lock him in for dramatic effect. The Brotherhood also has a habit of scuttling, destroying, their tech in an emergency if it were to fall into the wrong hands.

I love when Sheera is just completely wrong. It happens so rarely its almost like a Christmas present

There were children Sheera . Remember 1st episode , the blonde lady was a school teacher and Lucy taught history

Why would they think they fell in vault 31? Theyre no where near the location of 31-33

5:35 - it's because Maximus isn't trained to operate the Power Armor. If he was, then he likely would've known how to get out. In FO4, you can make NPCs get out of it if you steal their power core, which is likely more of a mechanic because NPCs can take the Power Armor if you've forgotten to take the power core out. Lore wise, and in previous games, you need to be trained first in order to use it.

About damn time, thought I’d have to track yall down like Lucy for the next fallout vid

You know... Lucy was the only person who DIDN'T get shot on that bridge.

The Mr.Handy Robots are programmed to “heal” you. So the robot fixed her finger then tried to “medically” help her. Also, Squires are given keys to help their Knights if they get stuck or a power core failure 😂

'Where's the babies?' There's one right there lol

Lucy failing her speech checks never fails to be funny.

there being no kids was explained in the first episode. because everyone lives in the same vault that would also means at some point they would all be related. Lucy herself said there are rules against incest beyond pure pleasure which was the whole point of having people from other vaults come to have kids. the people in 32 died "a long time ago" and the only people we've seen from 31 are already adults with children: IE Lucy's dad and the girl with one eye, with the exception of maybe betty. even if the other 2 vaults were fine we could just assume from the info given that the process to have children in the 3 connected vaults is something like this: trade people between the vaults, make them have kids with the people in those new vaults, wait a solid 10-20 years for the kids to grow up and for the family tee to branch far enough rinse repeat. all to reduce the chance of birth defects. although other vaults would have more kids and as a result more defects since interconnected vaults like 31-33 are rare

Shady Sands is just one state in the entire nation of the New California Republic. Expect more NCR.

Roshi that's why the squiere is the only one that carries the key, no one else can take the core out, and the squiere would be killed anyway if they did it without a knights command.

3:09 And this is why most heroes don’t reveal their secrets identities to everyone.

This might be an unpopular opinion but, Norm is lowkey my favorite character. I’m so invested in his part of the storyline I can’t wait to see what happens in season 2. I’m excited for them to learn how this season ends 👀

3:45 “MICHEAL! DONT LEAVE ME HERE! MICHEAL!”

sometimes lupa have to cool down his self instead of laughing at everything to understand whats going on bcuz he do be having his self looking slow sometimes

There were LOTS or cribs and baby shit in 32.

while we do not have something akin to "radaway" in the modern world, there are several things you can use to help prevent the body from absorbing radiation. Potassium iodide. Prussian blue (Radiogardase) and Diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (DTPA) all of which helps the body expel radioactive particles through urine and feces

There probably is an emergency release but Maximus has no idea how to pilot the suit. He's basically driving a manual after only ever driving automatic

They showed 33's children in the first episode, in the flashback when Lucy was teaching a class about American History. The show just don't bother showing them afterwards for some reason.

To my understand this series feels like a video game, unlike most adaptation they make it feel like a video game so she is the Good Karma character, she will always lean optimistic, and morally good...straight laced

Why does everyone always assume they are somehow in 31 at the end? Lucy has travelled miles away from vault 31-32-33 they are connected vaults she has travelled waaaay to far to get trapped in one of those 3 vaults

Cockroaches can eat through just about anything, ones that big would get into that armor eventually. Maximus would be dead by then though.

13:11 The real answer is just they wanted to avoid having to hire more child actors.

I think the lack of kids is less sinister than you think (aside from casting budget). Remember Lucy had trouble finding a partner that wasn't related. The only current baby is from a couple made from people of different vaults. That's why they did the exchange at the first episode. I think its just the lack of genetic diversity in the vault at this point.

vault 33 children are shown in the first episode, lucy is teaching them

you guys forget maximus isnt a trained pilot there probably is a way to get out from the inside

They did briefly show kids in the 1st episode, but child actors are a pain in the ass, so they just focused on scenes where kids wouldn't really be involved, like meetings, voting, etc. Gotta use the ol' imagination, assume they're out of sight. Also, Lucy did learn not to blindly trust everyone, that's why she organized the whole hands up thing. She just didn't realize people were crazy enough to throw their lives away over a pip boy. She doesn't know how valuable it is on the surface. And those fiends were barely human, their "logic" would make no sense to someone like her.

This show made a fantastic job in feeding few clues every episode making you intrigued and wanting to watch the other episodes right away i know i did xD!!!

I'm actually surprised that so many reactors thought that they fell into 31. They've traveled so far lol

Funny thing is Vault 4 is the most safest of them all lol

The trap vault is not 31

5:34 i'm pretty sure Thadeus put some sort of a key to the core before he was able to extract it from the suit. Maybe all squires are provided with one.

I feel like there probably is a safety latch or something he could have pulled to get out of the armor but he wouldnt have known where it is since he has 0 power armor training.

I wish you guys could just dropppp them so fast I’m toooo into your reactionssss to this oneeee😭🙏🏽

Bro Max was on timing i was with him i was saying the same as him like come on through so i can blast ya goofy ass 💯🤣🤣🤣

Been loving this react

GOD I love the music in this show.

I believe we see kids during the wedding/feast Afterwards however 😐.....

Lucy was being cautious she just didnt want to jump right to murder

“The head can wait” tf it can. 😂

Aside from a single birthday party in Fallout 3 and the plot device baby in 4 they never show kids in the vault.

Its vault #4 im pretty sure , I paused during my watch and saw single digits that looked like 4.

That pic in the thumbnail make it look like norm taking it from the back from Betty

3:52 You for real took a screenshot of Cuba Gooding Jr. in the movie Men of Honor and labled it "Fallout." What!?!?! 😂😂🤣🤣

Good timing

And this is where the show pick up BIG TIME! I love the mystery of this show.

20mins in "this show is fugged up" you have no idea...I think its pretty easy to figure out endings and I thought I had this one figured out....I was so wrong. Can't wait

Yall have the best intro

They didn't know what happened in 32 that's why they were surprised by the raiders in there, if Betty and Hank knew they wouldn't have opened up to trade but I dont get why they never checked up on them in 2 years

I asked the same thing about the kids were are they all in this world.

😂😂😂😂 MF was that Cuba Gooding Jr

the jonathan majors voice gets me every time 😂😂😂

Valid questions: They did show kids in the pilot episode: There were the kids at the birthday party Cooper was working with his so adorable daughter. There was also a very brief glimpse of kids when Lucy mentioned she taught American History with an emphasis on Ethics. After that, the kids have been offscreen. The reason they DESIGNED the Knights' power armor to be locked in was a failsafe. It's in case someone went out of control. It's like having a shutdown button on a robot. You can lock them inside until you decide what to do with them.

it's an event when these come out 💯❤

I cant wait for next episode, 2 minutes in all your theories will disappear but youll love it!

I didnt expect to like Norm as much as I do, possibly my favorite character next to the ghoul

The suit 100% has a manual latch on the inside but… he was never trained on it because thats not his suit. He stole it. Which is why Lucy should’ve known he was lying.

It’s hilarious that Fiends are still around after New Vegas

Roshi asking why they designed the suit like that when they just showed why they designed it like that😂.

I like to think those two fiends were a reference to shows like the Last of Us and Obi-Wan Kenobi in how it's always a gruff man and little girl as the main characters though they had aged up the girl

5:36 Remember that the suits were made during the great war. The US didn't want their suits to get taken by the Chinese. Plus, the guys who designed the suits, Robco, made these suits with a SHIT TON of design flaws.

Any room in the schedule for Helluva Boss and Hazbin hotel, I want Lupa to be devastated and laugh himself silly 🥺 *Bonus* you can watch Helluva (and the Hazbin pilot) without edits

Have y’all watched Severance yet?? That needs to be on the list if not

Finally been waiting every week for these fallout reactions!
