Wild that anyone would find that charming to me too. Everything felt so forced.
Already in ep 4 and that's me trying hard after EP 3.
This might the most complete garbage TV Series I've seen in probably 15 years and that's me being generous, everything about it is trash except the acting. Not one of the characters is interesting, the story is non-sensical and it's just plain more of the same everyone is out there for themselves end of the world survival fantasy bullshit. At least the games have interesting exploration and other good factors going into em I guess. I'm out and want my hours back lol.

Loved the whole show, although I didn't care much about Maximus or the brotherhood storyline, possibly the weakest part IMO. I think the part I loved the most was the mistery of vaults 31 and 32.
Also (Ch7 or 8 spoiler) it was 100% a Vault 31 dweller who poisoned the prisoners. If I had to guess, very likely Stephanie.

Looks like someone hasn't seen the Book of Boba Fett, Obi-wan series or Secret Invasion...
Just finished the season. Very well done, but some questions -
1. What exactly happened to the residents of Vault 32? They were long gone before the raiders used Lucy's mom Pip-Boy to get down into the vault.
2. How is Moldaver still alive and only mildly aged?
3. What is the big deal with "cold fusion"? The vaults run on fusion cores for hundreds of years, along with the power armor. Why was this new form of fusion so sought after?

1. Their crops died and it looks like they turned on and possibly ate each other.
2. We don't know yet but she was obviously cryo-frozen in some capacity like the others.
3. At first glance, it looks like a very tiny little cold fusion device could power an entire city from a great distance, whereas fusion cores can potentially drain and are heavily localized.

1 - There's a lot of "we know the truth" messages painted in blood so they probably found out what's in Vault 31 before everything went to shit. The crops are dead just because they weren't tended in 2 years.
2 - She probably managed to make it to a control Vault (one without experiments going on) on a VIP seat to a cryogenic capsule, same as all the Vault Tec higher ups in Vault 31 thanks to knowing Barb. It's also implied Coop's family did as well, since he asks the dad where are they.
3 - Already explained
It fits right in line with the innocent 50s vibe. Really from the same vein as Lynch's work. No surprise they went with Kyle Maclachlan as the overseer. And Ella Purnell does a great job acting like his daughter. This isn't anything new, so not sure what's so wild about others finding it charming. It's well established as working for others. It's an affectation, so it won't feel natural, but just because something isn't natural doesn't make it forced either. And it contrasts very well with the how people outside the vaults act. The other half of the charm is how corrupt everything around that attitude/aesthetic feels. It's part of the satire and themes. That seedy underbelly behind the idealized small town America.

Was coming here hoping for some good news. Need more Fallout.
Fantastic show. (Really should've been weekly tho, wild they just threw this big budget out there) I think in particular I was really impressed with how it all came together in the 2nd half, especially the finale which the show absolutely nailed.
Part of me thinks I like it more than TLOU? I mean TLOU was great, but an adaptation that's just retelling the story you already experienced (but without the gameplay) is always going to be less interesting than doing your own original story in the same universe. I dunno, again TLOU is great, neither one is objectively better, but man was Fallout a lot more intriguing due to doing its own thing, canon or otherwise. I mean hell, the best episode of TLOU did something entirely different from the main game, so that's more food for thought... I also give it major points for
Anyways, it did a lot right. When this was announced, I really wasn't expecting much, but it really did impress me. Lucy in particular was my favorite, I've only seen Purnell in Yellowjackets, but she was great in this. Really loved her whole plucky attitude and how she struggled to maintain it out in the Wasteland where nearly everyone and everything sucked. Walton Goggins was great as always too. Maximus in comparison... meh. Very hard character to like, that's for sure. I totally get his whole character and all, but I never really warmed up to him much. Though I will give the character props for being a lot more complex than I thought he'd be.
I guess if I had any gripes it would just be that I felt the exploration could've been a little better. Didn't really feel like Lucy went anywhere all that interesting for the most part, I wanted more unique settings.
The sign of a good video game adaptation for me (well, beyond it obviously needing to be good on its own merits), is that it makes me actually feel like playing the game itself. And yea, I'm looking at Fallout: New Vegas (I never played it...), thinking to myself, "Maybe..."
Anyways, loved the show, and can't wait for Season 2.

actually going back to Vault 33 and giving us a compelling mystery out of it.

Well, I think it's more that these people are doing press in Japan and so while there why not stop by to meet Kojima?
Darn no wonder , I think only Apple TV and Disney still are doing Dolby Vision on the standard plans and will probably follow suit. Oh wait maybe Paramount Plus is still doing it too
As an idiot who knows nothing of the business sometimes I wonder if he somehow registered himself as "press" with whatever agency is in charge of setting up local press with celebrities. They show up and are like "oh it's just one guy who wants to show me around his office. Okay I won't be rude".
Whew, we have truly arrived in the age of video game adaptations. I never really got in to MCU/DCU because the plots and payoff were so predictable. Heroes never die. But game universes are so much more flexible. Fallout has some insane amount of backstory and writing already baked in. S1 was great.
NIce show, not perfect or amazing. But I like how it's set in the FO world instead of just retelling the same story from the games. Last of Us for example was good, but apart from the Bill episode I felt like it was just a retelling of the game but not as good.
I have to say though I think FO looked cheap at times. The power armour and vault outfits. Maybe a colour grade issue in post.

With power armour it's cost of them being practical suits worn by actors and/or stuntpeople as much as possible, instead of being CGI at every turn. Also why in Yao Guai fight illusion about the power armour suffers greatly as you can see the bodysuit beneath armour parts.
Did I misremember or were there some mentions of
manufacturing crisis scenarios for their vault denizens to solve in Vault 32 and 33? I remember them saying there was a crop failure in 33, but I'm not sure if there was any implication that it was a deliberate crisis scenario or if I'm mixing it up with something from the games
i'm in a very small minority that actively dislikes the tlou show. at the end it felt like the show was speedrunning the game's plot points just so we can get moments from the game to happen and then it was off to the next thing, and it felt at odds with the pacing earlier on. the best episode was the third one, and i think a lot of it has to do with it being mostly new material.
Fantastic show, better than I expected all these years since it was announced. Will be doing a fresh playthrough of New Vegas after I'm done with Unicorn Overlord.
Agree with you here. I don't think TLOU is bad at all, but I don't enjoy it as much as most people do.

I went in with low expectations and it won me over in a big way. I loved it. Love how they incorporated game mechanics into the story.
I didn't love it, nothing that happened, main quest story-wise, was a surprise to me. Which is fine. As I was watching it I was thinking, yup that's a Fallout quest. Ah another. So it kinda reminded me too much of a video game, as nonsensical as that seems, it being adapted from one. I've never liked the Fallout Aesthetics that came with Fallout 4 and 76, they turn me off something fierce, and this looked like them. So it was okay, I suspect my disinterest in Fallout is driving my apathy. It was not bad by any means, I just didn't love it. I'm certainly interested to see how New Vegas is depicted though, so that hooked me for the next series.
Yes, it's implied that they manufacture crisis scenarios in 32 and 33 in the run up to elections in order to make people vote for Vault 31 residents. "When things look glum, vote 31!"
Interesting. Was she promoting something then or is she a voice actor in DS2?
Doubtful, but you never know. The reason I doubt is that other than snapping some pictures, there is no press about whatever they are promoting with Kojima. Rather, it always seems like fans of his work stopping by while on their press tour.
I think Kojima is a fan of Yellowjackets, which spurred on the meeting.
I was entertained. Are any of these chars in the games or is this a new story in the Fallout world? Never played the games. Is the whole world fucked or is it just America?
The whole world is fucked, but we really only know for sure the extent of the damage to the US, Russia and China as they were the three targets for most of the nukes.
None of the main characters in this show are from the games. There is at least one game cameo but that's it.
Eh. Kojima takes a picture with literally every famous person he can get close to. Doesn't mean they're all in his game.
Dude's just really desperate to look like he's "friends" with people in Hollywood.
Finished the show and damn Bethesda should have put out some "Play as Lucy!" dlc for 4 because now I just want to play through one of the games roleplaying as her.
What a fun show. Walton Goggins as a ghoul was so damn inspired, he stole every scene he was in.

I am very lazy (and not great at making non-nightmarish people in character creators)
Fair lol I wear helmets in most RPGs for this exact reason as I'm never happy with my character
I have tried to make my face in character creators numerous times and I'm always like "holy shit am I that ugly or am I just bad at this..." and then I try to not think about the possibility of all the above.
Well, I imagine the Brotherhood are either going to put cold fusion in a lockbox and just forget about it or use it to power a giant robot to intimidate farmers.
They're absolutely going to use it as a weapon, I think.
Either die a heroic faction (First Maxson days) or live long enough to see yourself become the new Enclave.
If you don't believe in the world being capable of cute things sure. I guess it fits the dystopian themes of the show

Not sure what's so wild about others finding it not charming, I didn't bring that up. Take it up with the person who did.
And yes, to me it feels forced.
