I thought Vault 33 would basically be a memory once Lucy left, but nope, we're still cutting back there and seeing what her previously unmotivated brother is getting up to now that there are major things going on he cares about. | I thought Vault 33 would basically be a memory once Lucy left, but nope, we're still cutting back there and seeing what her previously unmotivated brother is getting up to now that there are major things going on he cares about. | ||
The extra pre-War bit was unexpected and kind of gave me goosebumps. I had noticed the similarity of Cooper's cowboy colors to the Vault suits and wondered if they'd play off that connection eventually. But the color design being directly inspired by his suits, and the famous Vault Boy thumbs up pose coming from him? That's prequel stuff done pretty well, giving new insight without overloading or lingering on it too much. | |||

(First watched 2024-04-12) Well, Maximus's bad side shows again. When he reveals himself to Thaddeus and Thaddeus is not cool with the ongoing deception, his immediate reaction is "Better kill him!", and it's certainly not the same situation as it was with an asshole knight who was putting him in danger, making threats, and already mortally wounded. | |||
So this show is adding more to the overall series lore than I expected. I better understand why some fans of certain/earlier games are upset. Wondering why the New California Republic isn't a bigger presence in the show? Apparently some time shortly after [[Fallout: New Vegas]], that society went down in bombs as well. It's a bit of a punch in the gut for things like that to happen, but in several ways it makes sense for the series. It sidesteps the need to choose a canon ending for New Vegas by making it not have lasting effects. And for Fallout as an ongoing series it makes sense that it's stuck as a world of junk and radiation rather than having major ongoing successful society within the continental United States. Maximus doesn't even think of 2077 as the big war, since to him the end of the NCR was the end of society. | |||
