Casting Matt Berry as the Mr Handys was a stroke of genius.

It's interesting that you commented "no mercy" after the Ghoul shot Roger in the head, because I actually thought that moment was him displaying HUGE mercy: he deliberately reminds Roger of happier times (and human food!), and then shoots right as Roger is lost in a lovely memory of his mother's apple pie. For someone on the verge of turning feral, that's pretty much the kindest ending Roger could've hoped for. :)

Matt Berry as the voice of Snip-snip. He's cornered the market for voicing sci-fi robots!

Hey Neil. Not watching Fallout so I didn’t check your reaction but I’m happy your posting again so I thought I’d pop in to like and comment.

Neil, I opened up KZfaq for the first time today and saw your video. I’ve been a fan since your “Lost” series. Glad to see you’re back regularly. I love your perspective from someone who has also played the games. I appreciate your content.

Neil! I'm shocked you didn't catch that Snip Snip the robot is Matt Berry, Laszlo from What we do in the Shadows. That voice is unmissable! Lol This episode is just amazing throughout, what's interesting was that I was half expecting them to drop the storyline from the vaults for now but it starts becoming this really engaging story thread.

I'm glad you caught the meaning with the movie at the end...loads don't seem to pick up that it's as if old Coop is talking to Ghoul Coop when he says he's Ugly and Strong, but has no Dignity anymore

Lemony Snicket?! Awesome!

The shows attention to detail really is very good... Its what makes it better than any other TV Adaption.

I have literally never, and I mean never, heard a native english speaker call it "feeral"

Great reaction and analysis as always. This episode was the one where I realised that the show was awesome on it's own merit, not just because it was tweaking my nipples with fan service, (even though it had arguably more fan service than previous episodes). I was genuinely interested, excited even, to see what the makers were going to do with the story within the Fallout Universe, not just happy that we were in a faithful recreation of it.

Theres no fudge here.

10:10 The henchpeople were hilarious. 😅 That show is very underrated, I guess because it falls under "people assume it's only meant for children."

The guy you worked with Neil, also played the guy controlling Channing Tatum’s character in Free Guy. Which as a side note, if you haven’t seen it would make for a great reaction video.

Not sure when you recorded this but Amazon picked up the show for season 2 just over a week after they dropped it, but it will be a couple of years before we see it. It's still their #1 show over a month after it debuted, so that seems like a hit.

I think they ran low on food and like in Vault 111 the management horded it and people fought over what is left. I think they revolted and tied up the overseer and got the truth out of him about what is going on. The Fallout show is a massive hit and its boosted some of the older Fallout games to number of player highs they never attained before, Fallout 4 was back in the top 10 selling games, which is amazing for a 9 year old release. Stores ran out of physical copies of the games in some areas, so yeah safe to say the show has been a huge boost to the Fallout franchise. Just to say I also really want a fallout tee shirt that says "Ass Jerky don't make itself". lol

Another golden rule. If there's anything that doesn't make sense then it's probably a "game thing" haha. I picked up a lot from the games but still missed quite a bit. There's so much packed in here but the trick is to integrate the references naturally into the show, which they do superbly. The Ghoul "vials" are actually something that they do need to clear up in future seasons because they are not part of any Fallout lore.

Fural? I don't see the vault experiments as a major spoiler, it's kinda common game world lore if you played the games, assuming you didn't just rush through the main story and then quit, which of course is not how you play Bethesda RPGs. The show does mention them briefly but as with most things, it does not outright explain it, so typically I explain that most vaults are social experiments at a certain episode, with a minor spoiler warning. The video in vault 32 would imply overpopulation, while Lucy doing cousin stuff and not being able to find another partner would imply underpopulation, which may be a hint to the experiment in their vaults - along with the fact that the three vaults are all connected, which is as we know also not the norm. Whether Lucy can stick to the golden rule remains to be seen though. Coop went through this for a couple centuries, which is a long long time, and arguably the time right after the apocalypse was probably one of the worst. But as we see, the wasteland does not just change Lucy, Lucy also changes the wasteland, like Coop, who now sits there, seeing his former self kinda talking to him, giving him 2 out 3 after someone showed him kindness. For me that was a really compelling interaction between the two.

I'm Enjoying this , it's well made and Neils explanations enhance it a lot .

Fearl or fairl?

Why do you think there was no experiment in Vault 32? Yes, it looks good and healthy and safe. Clearly they didn't get locked up with a jaguar. But why are 31, 32, and 33 interconnected vaults? Because there aren't any other vaults like that in Fallout, and you know that as well as I do. And they have that symbol that almost looks like the pyramid on the American dollar bill.

"Wow, no mercy" What? That's about as merciful as he could get ^^; Roger was turning feral, clearly a very painful experience, losing his "humanity" He made Roger remember a good memory before shooting him in the head while he was distracted to make sure his friend doesn't turn feral

Who...who pronounces FERAL as...FUERAL?
