The Ghoul just sewed his finger back on and considered that good enough... maybe ghoul transplants/reattachments are just that easy.

New Vegas theme played when Lucy saw the New California Republic flag. Which reminds me: the composer of Fallout 3/NV/4/76, [[Inon Zur]], has also worked on TV and film, but they didn't use him for this show? I wonder why.
Fallout 4 theme played when Lucy saw the New California Republic flag. I know it's an overall series theme, but I wonder why not closer to the New Vegas version for that specific moment?

So the strange stuff going on on level 12 of Vault 4. Is that suggesting that some of the wasteland's weird creatures like mirelurks (or whatever those things on the video are) are creations rather than just nuclear mutations? Certainly seems more realistic than just mutations making things more humanoid over a few centuries, but until now that was just how broad the suspension of disbelief needed to be.

(First watched 2024-04-13) So 21st century Moldaver was working on advanced energy technology, which Vault-Tec bought and buried. Safe to guess this is what's in the head, maybe it is just a "USB stick" after all.
 
So the quack doctor was slightly less of a quack than anticipated. His cure did work... even if it resulted in Thaddeus becoming a ghoul.

<!-- (First watched YYYY-MM-DD) Thoughts. -->
(First watched 2024-04-13) You maniacs! You blew it up! So Vault-Tec actively made sure the bombs dropped all along. Yikes. From the games they seemed carrion-eaters, but now they're the mass murderers. And it was Vault-Tec again in the person of Hank McLean that took out Shady Sands. So it wasn't part of a war with another faction or anything. Looks like next season they'll be visiting New Vegas, which is more of a mess than we last saw it. Since it wasn't the NCR entirely being bombed that's no longer a direct explanation, but I'd buy that the capital being blown up left the rest of the NCR in disarray allowing places like New Vegas to collapse. I guess we'll see.
 
I've seen fans of 1/2/NV say this series puts the canonicity of those games in modern Fallout in question... but I don't see that. I mean, I don't know every detail, and I doubt every detail was perfectly maintained, but this show seemed MUCH more heavily connected to the events of those games than 3 or 4. I think they just... don't like what became of the places and groups they'd grown an attachment to.
