. No one would question what happened in Vault 32 because they would only meet once every three years.

even if there was an explanation for Betty somehow getting into Vault 31 to discover Bud dead, it still makes no sense for Moldaver to have been able to pull off the attack on Vault 33.

1. Moldaver should not somehow have figured out that Vault 32 was empty of life (how? if Hank/Bud didn't know, she shouldn't know either)
2. Even if Moldaver successfully enters Vault 32 and camps out there, Hank and Bud should be able to know what's going on in there, which would remove the element of surprise
3. Moldaver needs Hank alive, so the all out bullet spray assault seen in S1E1 should not have transpired. It should have been more of an op where she holds Lucy at gunpoint from the start

the scene literally only happens because the writers wanted a le-shocking-plot-twist and quirky violent assault with oldies music playing in S1E1
 
There are a lot of "creatives", screenwriters etc. who wish that they could get their “dream projects” on screens. Instead, they end up working on other people's stories, some franchise's world, characters and they resent it a lot and go out of their way to dismantle what they work on on purpose, to muck up the "lore", setting, background, etc.. The drama surrounding the Witcher TV show should have alerted more people to this. If big slop franchise productions feel like they're being made by people who are ruining what they're adapting on purpose it's because they are.
 
Three episodes left and still nothing of note really happens. All filler, no killer. This plot neither satisfies the fans or normies consuming the IP for the first time.
Cooper should be fucking dead after getting impaled. They must have seen the backlash of “lol evil billionaires destroy the world” and are throwing The Enclave in to save face.

Somehow.. The Enclave returned? Oh and THEY WERE REALLY THE ONES WHO ENDED DA WORLD NOT CHINA! So the US Government nuked itself because...................
This would make the third time they going to be wiped. I would think of a better use for Enclave remnants, but it would honestly be a waste of time.
t. Never watching the show.

I don't think its just the dream project denied aspect alone. If they are decent and work in the slop mines well enough, they would be granted a chance at their own dream project. I mean hell, Genndy ended up with a ton of his recent project green lit by doing just that. They aren't just not on their dream project, but know full well they aren't talented enough to leave the slop mines. There is no chance they would create something good even if they tried to adept the source material well. So they lash out at whatever franchise they got shackled to out of spite, and write drastic changes to leave some sort of mark on the industry.

Pretty much. You notice the uptick in this obsession with the latest batch of creatives saying they "Want to make it their own." The Witcher on Netflix was also a good example, where even one of the writers on staff blew the whistle on how the writers felt like their ideas were superior to the source material and outright hated most of it.

It isn't enough to just adapt something, it also isn't enough to just tell a respectful side story in the same universe, we instead make sweeping Hollywoodian changes to everything you know and love because if I can't escape someone else's IP I can at least ruin it for everyone else.
 
I've been thinking about the whole "somehow, the Enclave returned" thing that the show is obviously building towards, and I feel like having that "revelation" come about in a season set in Vegas is almost mean spirited. The game shows you the Enclave remnants, five old veterans with differing views of their time in the Enclave, and it does a good job of tying up the overall story of the group's presence in the West Coast. It's part of a past they either loved or regretted, but they still come out in support of new civilizations that have sprung up in the new world. It's a very nice, human view of a organization that did so much evil to the people of the Wasteland.

If the scene with House and Cooper was the only time this season hinted at the Enclave, I think that'd be fine. But the fact that it seems like they still have a meaningful presence of sorts in New Vegas is kind of shitty. Almost seems like the point of the Remnants' existence and what they went through in the game meant nothing (but that's something you can say about every faction in the show).

Sapiowsky said in some interview that he emailed the Witcher showrunners a bunch of character design documents and lorebooks just trying to be helpful and they sent him back an email very bluntly and rudely telling him to fuck off.

No wonder Caville quit.

This isn't something I really think is implied at the moment. Vault Tec has a Management Vault in/near Vegas, sure, but the Enclave still hasn't appeared in person since Season 1, and they were shown to be in the snowy mountains. Now it's clear the show is setting up that Vault Tec's higher uppers were involved with the Enclave, but the Enclave proper hasn't been seen in a while.
My current bet is that The Enclave in the show is probably out of Cheyenne Mountain. In tactics Cheyenne was the HQ for the Vaults, and while Tactics isn't canon to the series as of now, It's still lore the show can pull from, or at least get inspired by.

They are casting for the new Fallout reality television game show currently. They are mining into the depths of mediocrity with this franchise.

So I guess that’s going to be officially announced when the clock on Amazon’s website strikes zero after the season finale? Fucking gay.
 
I'm still mostly on the fence about the show but I'm liking season 2 more than season 1 so far. I groaned when they brought in the stupid jeet guy but was pleasantly surprised to see him get his head bashed in shortly after. The Vault-tards are retarded but I can kind of reconcile that with how sheltered they generally are. The writer's thinly disguised incest fetish is getting tiring though.

I feel like the complaints about the BoS mostly forget about the hypocrisy and bureaucracy that might as well be on their emblem in Latin. Scribes are mostly ideological purists but they are the weakest. They're able to pontificate from on high in their ivory blimps and their real contact with the world is necessarily mediated through the knights. Knights can earnestly identify with the ideals but they mostly fight and have the most influence on them from the world around. Many are probably like nig-knight and essentially chose between joining the faction, being killed, or, at best, being abandoned to the wasteland as an orphan.

Judge Ghoulden truly carries the show. If they let him die on the lamp post I'm going to join the masses here in calling the show irredeemable. I don't have faith in the writer's ability to center the show around him though. Using Lucy as a contrasting catalyst to tell his story is probably the better choice.

I have to agree with you here. Season 2 feels like it's trying to take more care in what it touches from the games, while also "explaining" (soft retconning) shit from season 1 that didn't make much sense.
Shady Sands nuking got soft retconned into being a small nuke snuck in via brainwashed caravan, not Vault Tec's evil nuke supply.
Vegas isn't a destroyed warzone like we saw at the end of season 1, it looks more abandoned than anything else.
Mr House both didn't agree to destroy the world, but also directly states the other companies won't either, retconning the Vault Tec meeting from season 1.
