re: Fallout **SPOILER** Discussion Thread

Just finished it. What an amazing show. Really captured the feel of the games. The main character Lucy was well acted and the Ghoul and his back story was perfect.
I'm upset there were only 8 episodes.

Curious to see what the story is that allowed Moldaver to live that long, much less his wife.

Didn’t we learn that some humans were held in suspended animation tanks?

Yeah, but Moldaver was directly opposed to Vault tec and having Cooper investigate his wife before the bombs dropped. And was apparently the NCR leader for quite a while. So be interesting to see how it happened.

I’m guessing “the resistance” forcibly took over a vault before the bombs dropped. Or had a bunch of moles inside Vault-Tec.

Justified Episode 1 Season 1. Boyd Crowder

So far I have seen 3 Justified Alums in Fallout.

Walton Goggins - Ghoul
Mykelti Williamson - The leader of the group that dug the Ghoul up.
Michael Rapaport - Knight Titus, the one the coward Maximus let die and then stole his Titan Armor.

Justified doesn’t claim Rapaport. That casting decision was a mistake that should be blotted from tv history.

Yeah, that was really the only legit poor casting in the entire show, he was it's only real blemish.

Really shows just how bad Rapaport is. The justified writers were even able to make the Yes Dear guy a believable mobster.

Was there ever an answer to what happened in vault 32?

I finished season one a few days ago, enjoyed it, and completely forgot that we really never got an answer to what happened in vault 32 which was one of my biggest curiosities (as someone who didn’t play any of the games)

Is it just that the Vault 32 people figured out Vault 31 housed “specific leaders” and if so I guess I understand killing the overseer (he was found tied up and dead) but then why kill one another? It was a gnarly scene in Vault 32. I was expecting something big there and completely forgot that I don’t think it was ever answered

It looked like a lot of them killed themselves. Like the one body sitting in a chair holding a fork stuck into a toaster.

I kind of agree that the reaction didn’t really make sense unless there was something else going on.

ETA: The point above about starvation (or maybe even trying to avoid cannibalism) makes sense.

I already started a rewatch and I think they allude to her reluctantly being a part of vault tec in like ep 6 or 7.

In the hallway scene in the mausoleum, she says something about vault tec buying up all of these subsidiaries (including her company?).

Maybe she played along to play the long game, knowing she couldn't stop them before the war.

If I remember correctly, she was R&D for a company VT partnered with working on cold fusion. Once, her company advanced it far enough, VT panicked because they knew it would delay the apocalypse and kill their bottom line. They then bought any company that had anything to do with the research and buried it all. On the face, this was really the cornerstone of the entire plot.
