EPISODE 1

[onyx crater]

Well, it's an evolution from the Sten. A bougie version, if you will

[balmy sage]

Just looked it up on the fallout wiki, apparently there was something similar in fallout 3, and in the notes apparently there’s another junk jet in ||episode two||

Your assumption might actually be correct that it was possibly slightly commercialised or had a few copies made And also apparently it was going to be in 76 but got cut

[candid spire]

Yeah def lol

[candid spire]

Oh true I haven’t played 3 in many years. That’s cool to know

If there’s lore showing it being adapted and commercialised would be cool but being in 76 wouldn’t be cool since no one had discovered it yet

[clear kestrel]

||Actually, the junk jet isnt exclusive to ArcJet

Manta man, a random encounter in 4, has a junk jet aswell||

[tidal sapphire]

there is many types of junk throwing devices

[clear kestrel]

Like a good ol' fashioned hand that propelled humans to apex predator

[formal vortex]

I'm guessing the canon ending for Fallout 4 was the Brotherhood ending since we saw the Prydwen

[clear kestrel]

Not the Prydwen

We've been over that looooong before the show released. Different airship named the Caswedan

[formal vortex]

I see

[clear kestrel]

They've also states that they arent confirming any ending of 4 in this season

[formal vortex]

Must have missed that

And my guess is the BoS we saw is the Lost Hills chapter. And a Vault located near the Santa Monica Pier, very interesting choice

[clear kestrel]

But we do know its not the institute or RR ending as the east coast BoS gave orders to the west coast BoS

[formal vortex]

Another question I do have to ask is how did the Raiders get into Vault 32?

[clear kestrel]

Its very easy to convince people to do something for you if you're charismatic

[cyan trout]

Things to NOT say on your first date

[warm kiln]

||the junk jet from the show has slightly better design and from all we know they could have just modified a broasider||

[balmy sage]

Yeah true but The aspect of the being multiple junk jets isn’t technically possible due to the only reason it exists is because some technician wanted to murder his colleagues. this is what is written on the fallout wiki “Prior to the Great War, an unnamed technician working at ArcJet Systems had become fed up with being repeatedly belittled by his coworkers. Sick of being mocked for only having a high school education, regularly reading science magazines, and being the butt of jokes about attending shop class, he decided to get revenge and created the Junk Jet to showcase his engineering skills, and to murder the engineers who were mocking him. Fortunately for his potential victims, choosing to carry out his murder spree on October 25, 2077 resulted in it, like everything else being cut short by the bombs dropping two days beforehand.[1] Afterward, the Junk Jet was left in the relatively intact sub-terranean rocket silo of the ArcJet Systems building for the next two centuries.” This was the direct copy and paste.

[lean tartan]

Hope to see someone eventually turn all these new outfits into mods

[warm kiln]

that reffers to "the junk jet" that fo4's protag can find that being said i dont think an idea of shooting whatever out of lets say broadsider wouldnt be a common thought over almost 300 years

[plush steppe]

there were schematics for something similar to the junk jet in fallout 3

it's not a new concept

[clear kestrel]

Its like agriculture

Or building pyramids. Multiple people across the globe thought of doing the same thing

[fallow flower]

So how did the raiders get into the vault if they refuse to open the main door?

[plush steppe]

it's explained in later episodes

[lament holly]

The power of words

"yo, open up, I got a crate of ice cold nuka cola Im supposed to deliver here. "

Come right on in!

[olive tiger]

How did they not run out of nuka-colas 200 years later. TV logic

Did anyone else figure out that the bad guys were actually raiders immediately? I think I knew it as soon as I saw their dirty clothes

[manic trench]

Yeah it stands out

[haughty verge]

Man, I loved the sex scene in episode one. There was something hilarious about it turning out he was a raider.

[tidal sapphire]

i figured out they were raiders by the way they ate

[haughty verge]

They don't hide it

I knew the moment I saw the scars

Then all the hints clicked from before

[manic trench]

Just so you know this was the best day of my life

[olive tiger]

The raiders seem kinda dumb though. Why do they burn down all the crops and destroy all the stuff instead of just taking over the vaults and turning all the vault dwellers into their workers/slaves?

[manic trench]

Sooooo

[haughty verge]

Same reason they don't farm

Lot of work

[olive tiger]

Well the dwellers would be doing all the work...

[manic trench]

You’ll find out some stuff later to tie more things together

[haughty verge]

They were clearly after her father anyway

So, they had to die. Clearly they got information from them before killing them all

Given they knew what was going on, if awkward

[lament holly]

The husbands hair was a dead giveaway

That's all you needed to see to instantly come to the conclusion.

Literally compare his hairstyle to literally every other vault dweller

That is the hair you get if you do not care a single bit about yourself

[violet hearth]

Can I say I LOVE how gorgeous and immaculately shot this show is? These are all my favorites

I’m gushing over how enjoyable this show is. Exceeded my expectations

This shot is my favorite especially. It says so much. I want to shake whoever came up with this framing

[manic trench]

The imagery in the whole show is amazing but yes the first scene absolute chef kiss

[lament holly]

The first image is meme potential

That's a genuine meme reaction if I've ever seen one

Also something I haven't seen people discussing, how god damn rich was the family who was hosting a birthday party

Did you see that house, holy crap

[violet hearth]

They literally had enough money to buy a famous actor even

And their own fallout shelter. That family was loaded

[lament holly]

You all have to remember that in the fallout universe everything is massively inflated. So that costed like 50x more than we'd think itd cost in our economy

As in, that place is probably a million dollars or more, and plus the actor in our universe.

But in the fallout universe, that's like 20+ million or something

[manic trench]

Rich enough to have a 6am birthday party

[lament holly]

That too

Who the heck is up at 6AM. Good god.

Who's hosting a birthday at 6AM???

I'm going to guess that was an oversight by Bethesda.

They had that scene solely for the bombs, I don't think they thought it quite through entirely

That scene literally worked until you mentioned the birthday party being at 6AM.
Scene instantly ruined

[ripe juniper]

I mean in Fallout 4 it seems to early for 6 AM

[manic trench]

It was 9:30 in Boston

But someone else pointed out the lore is mixed since somewhere says night time

[plush steppe]

Old World Blues (bombs at night) is the odd one out.

[lament holly]

So which is it

Morning, or night.

We got 2 sources saying different things

[plush steppe]

Morning.

There's only one mention of the bombs dropping at night, in Old World Blues. Every other mention points at morning.

[lament holly]

Ok so why is there a birthday party IN THE MORNING

9AM can be excusable. Barely.

But 6AM.
Birthday party, and birthday cake.

[plush steppe]

because the writers wanted to do the birthday party scene with the bombs dropping

[ripe juniper]

Didnt it bomb in the morning in Fallout 4

[manic trench]

Time to rewatch the first episode

https://i.imgur.com/uOZRQbe.jpeg

some emmy shit right there

[haughty verge]

I love the setup of the tension in that

[manic trench]

SO TENSE

[haughty verge]

the constant worry the adults are in

[manic trench]

I really hate the family so much

the dad being a dick, the mom just saying like shut up its a party

[warm kiln]

The intro was the weakest scene

[haughty verge]

I liked that family. It really showed the tension and what it did to both of them

[manic trench]

in what universe lol

[warm kiln]

I love that all the characters are flawed

[haughty verge]

Privileged on their upscale home, but still worried and jumpy

[warm kiln]

That's just my personal opinion rest of the show is fire tho

[haughty verge]

I've seen 3 episodes so far. Liked them all

[warm kiln]

I love the series, defo gonna re watch before season 2 once it gets announced.

Also I love how so many events were foreshadowed yet weren't just told in the dialogue

Like I predicted half the plot of ep 3 on my first watch and I even avoided trailers lmao

[manic trench]

I've seen the first 2 twice now, watched snippets of most of the other episodes trying to find stuff, now watching 1 all the way through again

[manic trench]

nerd

[true ledge]

How gory is the show? I’m asking for my mom, she wants to watch it with me but she isn’t a big fan of gory stuff. I saw some of the stuff in the first episode

Like with Monty’s face getting ripped up by the glass

Does it get any worse? Just a yes or no will do

[manic trench]

There's moments but hmmm I'd say not more than that

[true ledge]

Alright thanks

[ocean oriole]

i liked this part but i feel like it would have been better if they did something like that couple in nuka world

the ones who held hands looking at the blast

[still dirge]

are the raiders from 32 actually raiders?

[fallow flower]

yes

[broken zinc]

What type of needle did Lucy use when she got stabbed?

[fallow flower]

[cursive yoke]

[tender basalt]

How is the enclave still around?

[tidal sapphire]

not every base got blasted

[final estuary]

a stimpak, very iconic healing item in fallout games

[final estuary]

i mean i feel like it still is pretty gory

i'd say it can be worse than the first scenes 😭

[manic trench]

Visually not all much more than the shredding face I don’t think. All about on par

[undone hornet]

i'm watching episode 2 now and there is like a leg that gets blown off and a head that gets blown off, no idea if its gets worse

but i don't think its that gore focused, more like it kinda just happens at times

[manic trench]

Yeah not much else is full screen focus

[loud haven]

I think episode 2 is the worst when it comes to gore lol

But it stays pretty consistent

[dull flax]

"Bro should've read the manual" -Mr Ghoul guy in Filly or something idk

[clear kestrel]

What math were they using for deciding how long they'd stay in the vault for?

Cause we saw that radiation was at a survivable level outside the craters like 100s post boom

[gaunt vortex]

was the guy at the beginning with the dark child, is he the ghoul?

[gaunt vortex]

seems like they were looking for no radiation, or not enough to harm their kids for generations

i personally wouldnt not want to leave the vault until grass can grow again

i agree with Rico

[clear kestrel]

Yes

[gaunt vortex]

thats what i thought, i only watched the first episode, im waiting for my friends to catch up

[clear kestrel]

I'm watching ep 1 rn

[gaunt vortex]

tell me when your done i wanna know if u noticed something

it has nothing to do with lore or story, just something i saw lmao

can we talk about how my fo4 vault hasnt been opened since i got it, but these guys open it for everything, how would i not be a better vault overseer than these goof bags?

[fringe basin]

It varied.

Depends on the goal of the vault.

Some were never to open, some were to open quickly, others after 200 years etc.

[fallow flower]

What was The Ghoul in before he was unburied? There were some form of IV bags and all that.

[manic trench]

it's radaway

[clear kestrel]

Probably to keep him from going feral

[fallow flower]

@icy star I really don't see text on it but it might be my screen

[icy star]

It's hard to make out, but it lines up with the lettering and BOS symbol.

[fallow flower]

Could very well be a ship from the same fleet

Assuming they'd have multiple

Vanity Fair got a look at the show around 4 months ago and supposedly the ship is named the Caswennan.

[stark mesa]

it says prydwen in the shiw

[hybrid sentinel]

https://youtu.be/u1Sx2tPKGYY

[neat idol]

Hey guys I misunderstood what happened with Dane, could anyone explain

[fallow flower]

Also I do think I saw somewhere that it is actually the prydwen

[neat idol]

Oh sorry I didn't mean to ping you

I've had a new phone and have had trouble with navigating

[scenic horizon]

Someone (no one knows who) put razors in their boot to incapacitate them on purpose if thats what youre confused about

[neat idol]

Thank you

And so they killed Dane for that or the person?

[manic trench]

You'll find out in later episodes

[neat idol]

Oh thx mama dolce

[olive tiger]

I figured the BoS in episode 1 is just a really small outpost of BoS. I mean these guys have chapters all over the USA anyway. The whole airbase has a real boomers vibe from FNV.

[modern harbor]

Nah why did the dad have to smack that one guy, he just asked if he can go inside the bunker

[manic trench]

Very heated

I didn’t like that guy he was a dick the entire scene
