The Vault 33 stuff remains pretty interesting, too. As I've said before usually in games we deal with the Vault briefly and then move on with our lives, but here we see the people left behind slowly coming to learn how... staged things are in the way Vault-Tec set them up, with apparently all of 32's and 33's overseers being from 31; and the carnage of 32 being cleaned up before most residents of 33 could see it. It also recontextualizes Hank McLean as one of the "bad guys" or at least "manipulative forces", since he too was an immigrant from 31 who became overseer.

I don't think I realized until about now that Cooper Howard is probably named for Todd Howard.

<!-- (First watched YYYY-MM-DD) Thoughts. -->
<!-- (First watched 2024-04-12) The continuing 21st century stuff is actually pretty compelling. From the games of course we knew Vault-Tec to be a pretty messed up company, but here we see it presented as a company who is actively working against world peace because their products wouldn't sell in a peaceful world. And Cooper's wife clearly knows about the experimental vaults, which is why she thinks it's so important to get her family into one of the "good vaults". In the first episode we were presented with a divorced Cooper, so I imagine the familial Vault-Tec conflicts will lead to that.
 
So this Moldaver survives to the late 23rd century, but doesn't seem to be a ghoul... mysteries.
 
Vault 4 had Maximus's power armor that they left hidden. He didn't seem surprised to see it there, so did they tell them where to go pick it up or what?
 
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. -->
