Are you sure? They show the other actor on TV in the show, and the blue collar guys didn't recognize him at all. Why would they do that if they're meant to be the same person?

two theories i have.

1. house has a body double that does all the public appearances in case he's a target of assassination in an extremely anti-automation world where there are people already beating a Mr. Handy into unusability (in the games, people have killed the people responsible for automating industries they're a part of)
2. it's anthony house pretending to be robert for some unknown reason.

I disagree, I think the Man in the Shadows is going to be the President OR some big guy in the Enclave.

For me, it's the moustache. The man in shadow looks like he has a thicker one than House does and a slightly narrower face which is my reason for doubting it's him.

If the man in shadow is House, my pre-emptive cope is she looked at him directly to him when conveying the plan to stress the seriousness of it because House's deadline has been pushed up and he doesn't have long left to prepare (this is also dependent on Goggin's wife not being a bad guy) - I'll cope about House being a good guy until the moment he is stated not to be.

I will fedpost if Goggin's wife is made into the actual "brains" or motivating factor for House or something, I swear to God.

it seems to ME that the guy in the upper area there is probably Stanislaus Braun. he fits the two criteria perfectly imo, and the shape of his old man face in fallout 3 looks similar, not to mention we know from 76's vault 51 lore that he was involved in things that were both vault tec and enclave. he was a big brain behind a lot of the vault experiments, and was also the designer of the enclave's hellfire power armor. it would be a perfect fit, because he's both enclave and vault-tec, and not a character everyone will instantly be familiar with, but that loreheads will be aware of.

Anyone who found Lucy's millennial monologue remotely funny should be sent to a concentration camp. I don't know why her character has regressed back to 'quirky chungus' when I felt like the final episode of last season established that she was finally realizing how fucked the surface world is.

This is genuinely my biggest issue with season 1 and the fact they are repeating it again is mind blowing.
After the Super Duper Mart Lucy should have learned to not be so trusting, but instead she reverts right back into being a trusting retard by the next episode. At the end of the show, when she learns what her father did, and after then killing her own ghoulified mother, she finally seems to get what the world has become... and She's just right back to being a goody two shoes who thinks you can talk your way out of a situation with raiders again. Can't wait for her to have another 2 reality checks just to go back to being retarded in season 3.

The sole malus against the Brotherhood in 4's context is this: Nick Valentine. Danse they were willing to kill for obvious reasons - he's a copy of the actual Danse (you never meet this one he's dead before the game begins) and he's a 1:1 human-looking gen 4 synth that tries to blend tech and biology.

It is also worth noting that you can convince Maxson to spare Danse, who is often pointed at as being the source of their bigotry anyway.

Yeah actually, you just rip the effect from this shitty Seth Rogen movie.


As for the explanation? I mean, really, who gives a fuck? This show is full of nonsense. If you made me do it, I'd just say the Pip Boy interfaces with you and can guide your hand in the right way to aid your shots. I don't know. It's too iconic to not include in some form.

The entire show navel gazing into the old world is ironic. Season 1 was shit with the only redeeming feature being Lucys body. Season 2 looks worse.

The 'old world' is supposed to be 2077 as well. But it's stuck in Bethesda's 1950s style. The show takes place in 2296. More than two centuries after the 'Great War' yet it looks like the bombs fell mere weeks ago.

Because they're not writing an actual story. They're writing someone going through vaguely Fallout themed cut outs and slices of sets while pog facing. It's so gross and purile. The entire show has this vague queasy feeling of embaressed insincerity to it.

Blame Todd.

Everything must revert to the status quo wasteland desert-y shithole where people are living in rusty shacks and pre-war ruins full of skeletons even though two fucking centuries have passed.

The world must never civilize again, and if it does, nuke it back to a shithole.

blame Todd AND Chris avellone, who pushed for lonesome road to be a guarantee that Vegas would not be a safe place in the future. he didn't like that the NCR were a fully fledged nation with a standing army either.

To play devil’s advocate, she is slowly adapting to the wasteland. It has only been about a week since she’s been out of the vault and she’s gone from using nonlethal syringe guns to wielding a rifle to use for crippling opponents. She’s in denial and wants to keep that optimism.

Does season 2 seriously only take place a week after Season 1? It feels like it has been at least a month in the show.

Might have been. I thought that the show gave time for how long Norm was stuck in Vault 31 but I checked and there was no date given. Probably a few weeks having exhausted the emergency food supplies.

Now that's just inaccurate. At the end of the Super Duper Mart episode, she doubles down on the 'Golden Rule, mother fucker!' as to explain why she won't kill the marketable character we need to keep alive guy who tortured her, enslaved her and then sold her off. The next episode starts with... her coldly deciding to let the guy who, as far as she knew, was an innocent and heroic dude who risked his life to protect her starve to death trapped inside a metal tomb because...? And then proceeds to immediately revert back to 'BUT THE GOLDEN RULE!' so she can be confused and disapproving of Maximus not trusting these friendly muggers crossing the bridge.
 
S2E2: "The Golden Rule"
I did not like this episode. I thought it started off strong (Maximus action scene, Area 51 reveal) I legit thought they'd ball it a bit back but it spiralled thereafter. The other Brotherhood chapter leaders are morons, though the one that dropped a casual "cunt" will prolly be the best. It feels like they're trying to rush through 5 different arcs at one with Maximus (becoming disillusioned mentor figure, finding a new mentor figure, disillusioned friend, disillusioned with own people. finding own identity) so the pacing was thrown way off. Norm's chunk of the episode was the least painful, and Norm's earnest "It's beautiful" of the surface was a scene that was finally treated with some sort of reverence.

This is the first series in a while where the word "rape" was used in a joking context. Caesar's Legion had an intimidating introduction, I hope they aren't immediately made retarded/goofy.

That entire sequence with the Ghoul and Lucy in the hospital was profoundly dumb and the Ghoul was comically evil twice for no reason. This was probably, pound for pound, worse than episode one. I could cope for a lot of episode 1 but there's even less for 2.

"Woah, a working icebox!" <- dialogue said after an intact Area 51 alien is ignored, allowed to fall out and shatter on the ground.

The Brotherhood will also just allow and encourage death battles now - you know, the organisation that doesn't often allow in new members is now allowing its members to kill one another, and with Elder consent and encouragement. The Liaison from the Commonwealth (Indian dude) nods approvingly at Maximus killing the larger guy so maybe it's just a thing now.

The Brotherhood was probably more infuriating than anything else. Two knights just play chicken with a plasma grenade - twice. They get mildly told off.

Maximus seems a little more mature now but it's done at the expense of massively dumbing down the rest of the Brotherhood/

Well, I'm going to go enjoy my day off/Christmas Eve. Jesus Christ.
 
@>IMPLYING >"I did not like this episode."

My ni55a you're not supposed to like ANY episode in this show, from ANY season if you have a properly discerning mind. This show should either be ignored entirely or hatewatched and thoroughly criticized. It is impossible to like any single episode in this show if your brain works properly. As far as I can tell the only thing remotely enjoyable about the show is Ella Purnell's body, which I hope they display in that white tank top undershirt more often or something similar.

I can't have a visible weapon on me without the Shady Sands guards shoving their fist up my ass, but this deranged dude madly repeating the meme phrase ("PATRolliNg THE WastEland alMOST MAKES YOU wIsH For a nucleAR wiNteR.") can just casually stroll in with a whole-ass nuke.

"Guys, just because we see Maximus getting out of a fridge in the flashback doesn't mean he survived the nuke in a fridge! The writers aren't that stupid, the fridge is probably just where he ended up."

Lucy still acting like she's just met the Ghoul and isn't keenly aware of his disposition.

"The golden rule is for people. You're disgusting. Cruel. I am nothing like you."

So all the murderous raiders count enough as people for you to shoot to disable instead of kill, but the Ghoul is too despicable to count? Not even because of all the terrible shit he did before, she was still fine with seeing him as a person after he tortured and enslaved her and murdered innocent people for money, but NOW he's gone too far?

Also, bad idea to call back to the scene in season 1 where it's immediately follow by Lucy throwing the Golden Rule away for no fucking reason to let a supposedly innocent man die.

And the Vault Tech buds suck as well. Did no one in this big fucking plan think it important that people should know how to do their jobs?!

And the Brotherhood of Steel are so stupid they almost blow themselves up playing with grenades inside their base.

Maximus is all in on the Brotherhood and their beliefs now? Because the girl he knew for a week disappeared?

I just realised that Norm's plan is more retarded than I thought. I assumed, at first, that he was unfreezing the managers to force Bud to let them go else risk them dying. But no, he unfroze them, killed the only guy with the key to the door and just hopes that the managers could figure a way to break out.

Why would you build a maintenance hatch that can't be reached conventionally?

There is literally just a big, obvious vent that goes from the wasteland into the cryo chamber.

They talk about killing Mouldaver like she wasn't just an old woman with a lot of guys protecting her.

Dean standing off to the side, judgementally shaking her head at Maximus defending himself from some chuckle fuck trying to murder him. And the Brotherhood are just okay with some random guy trying to kill what is essentially the head knight of that chapter. Of course they are, because the Brotherhood in this series aren't a faction with their own philosophy and beliefs to discuss or challenge, they're just dudes with cool armour but are otherwise indistinguishable from everyone else.

Is the new Harkness dude supposed to have any relation to the android from Fallout 3 or just a coincidence?

The Hank scenes in this episode just feel like filler. He puts mind control device on subject, their head explodes, rinse and repeat. Just makes me wonder why the device worked so well on the dude in the opening who managed to get all the way through Shady Sands before collapsing with a nose bleed.

This show usually has five or ten minutes per episode of padded material. Including overly lengthy credit sequences as well to increase run time. They also just waste time with low budget scenes with generic music. But the show is clearly written for Bethesda Fallout fans as none of the run time has any explanation for the actual Wasteland and world of Fallout beyond some superficial exposition. I can't imagine this being the first exposure for someone to the Fallout universe and having almost any idea what is going on.

She's written like a INT - 0 and LCK - 10 character. Her survival in the Wasteland is entirely due to plot armor.
