Believe in Chet.
But yeah, besides him, everyone else is retarded to the point of being unlikable. We're probably gonna see Vault 32 decline into hedonism and degeneracy, burning through what little they have left because the food allocation is sacrosanct and it'll be reminiscent of Snowpiercer. We saw in one of the trailers the Overseer walking down a hall being flanked by two security so that'll either be an abortive attempt to stop them or is when she finally puts the foot down. It'll probably get interesting then when it's not meandering on le quirky vault dwellers.
I'm guessing Bud's plan in the end ("Future Enterprise Ventures" i.e F.E.V) involves turning the genetically perfect, hyper-intelligent dwellers into Super Mutants or something. If this comes to pass it means The Master is a hack-fraud who had the idea 2nd to the true Master: Bud. I'm guessing at Vault Tec HQ Norm learns the true nature of the experiment and phase 2. He'll read aloud "F.E.V - forced evolutionary virus." and that'll be the end-stinger for either his scene or the episode itself.
Regarding the voice thing, we see Charlie's voice become a generic BoS voice once the faceplate was closed so, defending the show just this once, I don't think they would've noticed. I think the cadence is maintained but it smothers the accent.
What's weird about the other Elders is they straight up just change personalities from ep 2 to 3 and 4. In ep 2 they were all conniving shits, then in ep 3 the woman one is suddenly all about loyalty, then in 4 they double down on this after she was just was eager to wipe her ass with the Codex for fusion cores like the other 2. The sexist guy is more direct and and pragmatic, he doesn't blame the other Elders he's first on the line to get his men ready. Robo-fucker lost his retard voice and revelled in that shit. Quintus just became a different person for episode 2. Abysmal dogshit that episode.
I get why they were negotiating though. They won't want to leave empty handed and if all they gotta do is kill 1 Elder then why not. Wouldn't be the first time the BoS sanctions the assassination of an Elder, granted one who had already ran off (Elijah). You're right though in them having a poor bargaining position. Harkin probably would've denied giving them anything and just ordered them to do that shit to have their aborted attempt to start a civil war be considered water under the bridge.
Quintus rambling on the way over to the gun was such a 180 from how he was acting a moment ago that I just found it hilarious. If he remains insane for the rest of the season, the fact it was instigated by some ghoul children not getting capped is funny as shit. I don't think the writers were intending it to be comedic so I don't think I've vindicated the show's humour by cackling like a retard.
The father/son thing only really started in episode 2 and its purpose was to make Maximus hesitate and that's it. Assuming the other brotherhood elders didn't bring the entire chapter with them, when Quintus inevitably wins the little civil war he probably doesn't even know he's fighting, he's suddenly going to find himself flush with the resources of multiple blimps, a lot of knights/paladins with hostage/murdered Elders, in the middle of an inhospitable desert thus leaving them no choice but to follow the only authority figure around - Quintus. Maximus literally helped create the worst option possible and probably got more people killed total than if he let the Indian guy kill the ghouls. He did not try hard enough in using his words to stop that by the way he basically mumbled behind him before crushing his head in. As a consequence he basically gave Quintus the 3 other chapters for free and since they don't know the Indian is dead and he appeared to just run off at the same time the cold fusion thing went missing with Maximus, he made things so much more worse.
The show is making the argument via Maximus, the vault dwellers, and Lucy, that bad subordinates can ruin everything in spite of competent leadership and you need to not let retards out of your sight. A competent leader with capable subordinates is unstoppable (Norm).
