Fallout

making titus/rapport retarded. what the fuck was that supposed to be? funny? how did this retard become a knight in the first place? did HE also steal the power armor?

chicken fucker and "thanks for not shooting me" guy were pretty spot on wasteland encounters

uh.... thats a pretty lush green California town.. did a geck get used? is this going to be explained? super green farmland would change the dynamics pretty massively. the guy on the other side of the hill was begging for water..

stims... uh... why didn't they give the tranny a stim? Withheld from titus to let him die. used on dog, to bring it back from the near death. so, brotherhood HAD them.

immediately back to desert...

did they just imply vault uniforms are based on the cowboys uniform? again.. solo dice.. how much more of this are they going to do?
voice box girl. jesus what a bad prosthetic, and effect. 5caps. a brother should know 5caps is extremely cheap right?
dude leaving his power armor out in the open in a town was really dumb. glad they addressed that.

effeminate men in the vault. trying to redeem raiders. integrate them. give them schooling etc.. ...where are they going with this, and this commentary? can... can they possibly in 2024?

tri vault system. I think I was confused previously. I was thinking it was just 2 vaults connected. 3. huh. again just eugenics and breeding?

remember the vault boy thumbs up?! look this is where it came from!

ok, so she didn't know what a feral ghoul was. so.. she really should be asking what a ghoul in general is..
and the last name. so, is the idea that the corporate execs went into cryo, then wake themselves up one at a time, to husband/wife exchange into the other vault, and have kids? her dad will have been a vault tec exec?
new overseers. usually the new overseer gets access to the pc. and learns the purpose of the vault. her dad was overseer. thus should not have been a false overseer thing either. They should have access to his pc.. did they not look? they are shown to be ineffective..

steph is best girl.... and oh god the scene went retarded..

so, the two guys go over to vault 32... wait. so what did the bomb in epi1 do exactly? I thought it sealed the tunnel. did it only take 2 guys 10minutes to clear the concrete?
if so, is vault 32's door open? how are they ignoring this?

ideally, they would go from there. violent knight in power armor, with smart scribe making a solid team. .... they are going to kill that dude off in comical bloody manor aren't they?

guess not.

"i had no idea anyone lived in those vaults" "thought it was monsters" again. a bos aspirant should know damn well what's in vaults. he was shown to be a shit student. but I'm really thinking his backstory was redone. maybe they'll still show him infiltrating the ranks before being transferred to the opening center.

A couple more anti-woke bullets. first, lucy's insistence on the golden rule. thats expressly Christian. It is also then presented 100% as a virtue.
Then, when lucy teams up with max.. Battle hymn of the republic is hummed.
" mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord, his is trampling out the vintage of the grapes of wrath are stored: He hath loosed the fateful lighting of His terrible swift sword.
His truth is marching on.
glory, glory Hallelujah!

and it is NOT played ironically like most fallout music.

"bombs fell when I was a kid". huh.. do not know what to make of that.

"I used to think the big lamp was the sun. my mom would take me." so, I'm going to assume it was real. and she was just too young to remember. Lucy's mom did in fact take lucy outside.

I like they did establish her brother as working with computers, before having him do all this computer investigation.

ok.., they held the battle hymn over into the election, then came back with a new version again with further post election vault stuff.. its starting to feel like it is being used ironical..

lucy getting emotional over reclamation day was solid. something unvoiced player vault dwellers can't really do. shock, and confusion that their entire lives in the vault was a lie.

ok, so, he was at shadysands as a kid. that was the bos flashback. and "bombs fell." but that still doesn't make a ton of sense. he'd should have still understood the question she asked. even if it was a "which time?"

"there could be anything in there" "yeah,like a first aid kit". ugh. this is one of those times writers are being retarded. No. fucking explain what might be in there. ghouls, glowing ones, robot brains, assault trons, mutants, super mutants, wood rot, and structural collapse from 270 years of exposure, etc. etc. fucking SAY it. SAY what the dangers are, and what to look for and avoid. for fucks sake.

"we're safe/ok, were in a vault" is not a logical thing for her to say. Like, sure she thinks her vault was safe and home. but, the first thing she did when realizing her husband was from the surface as attempt to kill him. She should think that this vault would assume she and he are also raiders, just like she did, and attack on site. even if she didn't think through the whole trap door thing, which means this vault is intentionally collecting surface dwellers for reasons to be shown.

Vault 31 are a bunch of Vault Tec junior execs who were put into cryo. In flashbacks, Bud reveals his plan to The Ghoul (when he was a human) about wanting an extremely long term managerial oversight on a project. When needed, they are thawed out and transferred to one of the other 2 vaults. They are always put into management positions and influence the culture of the vault and because effectively "no time" has passed for them from their perspective, they are 100% in on the Vault Tec koolaid. As the Enclave guy revealed, the government type is Meritocracy, so pretty much everyone in the vault wants to standout as being go-getters and willing to do what is needed of them (ideal for ladder climbers in corporate). Presumably this is rewarded with being allowed to be paired up with a mating partner, because the Robobrain (Bud) revealed the main purpose of the other 2 vaults were to encourage a creation of a population of ideal managers. The fate of Vault 32 also shows why they had redundancy in the vaults - not just for the purpose of preventing too much inbreeding, but also to allow purges to safely remove an entire population with no impact to the overall experiment. Vault 32 clearly killed the Vault 31 people that were in Vault 32, since we can assume the overseer there was a Vault 31 person (Vault Tec exec).

Lucy's dad was a Vault Tech junior exec from before the war, as was the blonde woman who lost her eye (which is why she became Overseer of Vault 32 once they did the repop plan) and the woman who replaced Lucy's dad after he went missing.

Also, The Ghoul's wife (who was on Bud's team) had told him in the past she had secured them a spot in a vault for Vault Tec managers, so presumably she was slated to go to Vault 31 and would have been frozen. We don't know at what point the Ghoul became a Ghoul, or what happened to his daughter, although the fact he knows Lucy's dad knows where his family is hints that he might suspect they are still alive. We can also inference that he and his wife got a divorce (presumably shortly after he ease drops on the meeting), since the guys at the bday party talk about alimony.
