I'm watching it a second time to see things I missed the first time. The first time I watched, I missed Norm playing that missile command pip boy game while Lucy and Hank were trying to do a book club. But anyway, it seems weird that Hank doesn't notice Moldaver at all when the Vault 32 people show up. Knowing what I know from the rest of the show, that bit doesn't make a lot of sense. Unless he's just so flippant about anything that doesn't involve him that he completely forgot her.

Did he ever meet her prewar? He was just an assistant to his wife last we saw I thought

Hank the Overseer knows Of Moldaver. It's just when she captures him specifically that he remembers who she is. As far as he knew, she was just the bitch ex-wife's new partner.

Considering how much exposition they built up, they really tied up a lot in the final episode without feeling like an info dump.

Unless he's just so flippant about anything that doesn't involve him that he completely forgot her. From Hank's side I think it's just about plausible enough that he's never directly encountered her, but Moldaver confidently and correctly assuming that Hank (or any other Vault-Tec operatives who for all she knows are down there too) couldn't possibly recognise either her name or face is a definite 'we need this to happen so the audience can be introduced to the antagonist' moment.

hank used to pick up barb howard's dry cleaning prior to the war, muldaver was privately financing cold fusion development so there's a very real chance they never interacted professionally. bud's buds were probably chosen for loyalty, since social and business connections would become sorta moot. there's also a blink and you'll miss it shot in the ending credits of the last episode where a billboard for private cryo chambers is shown. maybe they'll have something to do with house to make him a bit more of a presence in the show, but I think it'll tie in with muldaver and the 'flame mother' nickname.

The worst "action shot" was definitely the scientist evading that turret. They couldn't even get him to jog away briskly.

The turret thing made my wife and I legitimately laugh out loud, I just said the scientist had a high luck Stat lmao The funniest criticism I have seen from the typical basement dwellers is that Fallout is "woke now" because the show is anti-capitalist. ...Like bro for real? You just figured out that this 20+ years franchise about the horrors of the post apocalypse brought on by mega corporations schemes and extreme fascist American jingoism, to the point that those things still actively hurt the lives of those in the wastes 200 years later, is anti-capitalist? This poo poo is more obvious than Star Trek, how are people this loving dense? I imagine that kind of person unironically has a poster of House in their room though.

There was an anecdote circulating a couple of months back claiming that Elon Musk randomly showed up onset trying to score himself a cameo and they had to politely tell him no, after which he then showed up again at the premiere... which becomes funnier in retrospect, given that 1) the show's overarching villains are portrayed specifically as spineless tech nerds and corporation owners with a messiah complex who brag about how they alone can secure humanity's future, while also gushing over pop culture icons who utterly despise them, and 2) the show makes a decent, surprising effort to be trans-inclusive.

I thought that was cyberpunk? Or did he do it to both? Cos if so that's hilarious. He definitely showed up to the fallout premier, though. Such great awkward photos.

You know I wonder if Cooper did go to Bakersfield like he'd suggested to Barb and then he somehow got admitted into Vault 12, making that the reason he's become a ghoul.

TulliusCicero posted:Lmao More or less. For a brief period, people thought of Musk as a real-life Tony Stark. (He was even in Iron Man 2 in a bit which did not age well.) HE SHOT A CAR TO MARS WHOOO and so on and Elon bought into it hard. Then all his shuttles kept exploding, he proved on Twitter why in all his previous partnerships people ditched him as soon as possible and he made a car to rival that of Homer Simpson's own design.

I don’t think Fallout does anything new or innovative but they lean on tricks and tropes that I love and will never get tired of the people you always looked up to turned out to be the real bad guys and the person you thought was the bad guy turned out to be right! Oh no your worldview is shattered! (Me clapping in the audience) yes, amazing (Happy song plays over scenes of misery and violence) Me: amazing

When you play the originals you're going to see a lot of stuff Fallout was either the first game to do or at least the first successful game to do. It's one of those games like Deus Ex that influenced every game of its type afterward.

Everybody's journey and arc is pretty inspired by that search and it goes well with the moment of all the characters reaching their goal and having it slip from their grasp. Just a little thing about the song choice.

Tankbuster posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bFBLAbwMA0 Half of Tim's happiness stems from the fact they actually made a good show based on one of his properties. The rest was about trying to find all the easter eggs referencing said property that weren't immediately apparent. Edit: Oh, yeah, I got a friend who almost always sides with House when he replays New Vegas, because he believes it makes logical sense and is the best option for the future of the Wasteland.
