Discussion: Season 2, Episode 3 Join the Discussion
137Yes, he spread it like tea in a glass. They send such people to diplomatic missions.
/// his armored forehead could not withstand the collision with reality.///
In the paradigm of this invented work, we still need to figure out what normality is.
In episode IV, I really liked the "character arc" of the Senior Cleric. One dropped phrase and the grandfather with the wand turned into an irreconcilable religious fanatic. Ready to throw himself with a broom on the locomotive! :-0
After watching episode III, I was sure that this Zander / paladin Harkas / Xander Harkness was himself involved in a flock of ghouls that started in relative proximity to the base. That this is some kind of multi-pass. And with his actions, he was just "covering his tracks." So that during the investigation, regarding: "Who invented this, lords?", - do not come out on yourself. ;-)
/// with a potential defector///
A suitcase of compromising materials is certainly good. But I don't want to be crushed by this Chumadan myself. :-(
Of course, it's hard to imagine lids that are still in use two centuries later, no matter how high-quality they were at the time, and I would understand if this were some kind of factory for the production of new lids. But participating in the production chain of full soda bottles looks strange.
This arrangement is very consistent with the games. The stamping of new caps was controlled by the NKR, they seized or destroyed all the presses. At the same time, caps from bottles already produced before the war, but not opened, could be used.
Upd: in episode 4, it was shown that the entire group was at the Sunset sasparilla factory, which confirms my hypothesis: in the game at this location, you can stock up on lids well, since the entire factory is littered with corked Sunset sasparilla bottles
From the point of view of lore, it is assumed that special machines are needed for stamping lids, which (at least on the territory of the NKR) are seized or destroyed, for more information, see the quest "Pressing" in New Vegas. I don't remember if this issue was raised in other games.
But this episode is already cool.
It's a little unclear why the centurion took off his helmet in front of an ordinary slave, probably just to trade Macaulay Culkin's face in front of the screen, I couldn't think of any other explanation. Probably for the same reason, Lucy was not immediately branded, but they talked to her and said something - to gain time and, perhaps, to make the foundation of some future plots.
And, of course, it will be interesting to see how the BS will react to Maximus' actions and his direct violation of the elder's orders.
At the same time, there are literally 0 frames from shelters, 0 frames from Volt-Tech and Hank's story. Such an uneven narrative, as if... Personally, I get the feeling that time is still passing in other storylines, but the characters are standing motionless in the T-position at this time and nothing is happening, I don't know if I'm the only one paying attention to this.
Or they are just illiterate, as Lucy actually emphasized in a dialogue with them))
Well, as mentioned above, the narration is really uneven and, as for me, abrupt, which is uncomfortable to watch, although it is interesting what will happen next in the plot.
I don't know what this dramatic technique is called. But that's what happens a lot in TV shows. When there are different main characters in different episodes.
Walton Goggins burns with napalm, that's a good choice of actor for the role. Ella had a little rest in this episode, even though she was on the cross. It was nice to see Macaulay Culkin as an adult on the screen.
PS: the technofascist was quickly ripped off. The actor is charismatic, it's a pity
It's a great episode. And the Legion, which really feels like a threat. And Culkin, who seems to be Lanius' new Legate. And the corpse of Caesar, who seemed to be one of the few reasonable people in the Legion. And Goggins, who is still cool. Lucy also managed to hang on the cross. There's nothing to say about Victor's appearance, it's cool. Besides, everything is on the horizon.
In principle, everything is not as bad as it seemed in the last episode, the season is slowly rocking, putting accents and using the fan service well (although it could have been more fat). By and large, playing New Vegas itself felt the same, you gradually got to know the world of the Mojave wasteland as you slowly moved towards your goal, and this season feels exactly the same.
But all this does not apply to the branch about the Brotherhood of Steel. She's still frustratingly boring, and it's time for the Gazebo to calm down its desires to focus on the Brotherhood everywhere. Seriously, why them? It's not the most interesting faction after all. Also, the only interesting character was leaked in just one episode. It's kind of sad.
And damn, I want a clear answer about the NKR. Did they break up or not? Signs of the former appear here and there, but no clear answer has been given. The Golf camp looks like it was abandoned just a couple of days ago. And what did Victor forget? The ent is turned around as they want and it seems that it is better to forget most of it, so that there is no dissonance with what is happening in the series.
I also don't really understand the geography of the series. The characters seem to teleport from one location to another. The Golf Camp is visible in the frame, okay, it's a long way from Prima, but it looks like Cooper has a couple of hours, if not less.
In general, on the one hand, I like the WAY everything looks, but I really can't figure out what context it all adds up to. And I really hope that the authors will still respect Laura NV and his contribution to the series, and not focus solely on thematic decorations.
Fortunately, so far everything is moving towards something interesting, and not his likeness.
He just took advantage of the "fast movement"))
They introduced Victor's robot into the plot and somehow quickly killed it. I can assume that this is in order to stimulate the game fans to play. Just like in the first season. Where 40 seconds were devoted to the "water chip" for eight episodes.
The robot's caliber is too weak against the Brotherhood of Steel. I wish he had a cumulative grenade! With an armor penetration of 200 millimeters of homogeneous armor! ))))
Damn it. The episode was overloaded with robots.
The Legion were the most normal of all, Vegas' favorite faction, and here. Some kind of assholes.
At the same time, I also like the production, the actors, and the atmosphere, but the plot is still upsetting:(
And Robert House was waiting for Cooper in the bathroom on purpose? Their meeting seemed very strange, didn't House have anything else to do but stand in the bathroom during a veterans meeting?
The whole legion has been turned into a farce of jerks
The brotherhood of the East is as canonical as possible. I wonder if their Fuhrer Manson is alive after part 4?
@Sociophobe: /// so they just tied a cross, did they run out of grapes? As it is , they should have taken away her slavery , for which the execution is a trivial audacity?///
I don't understand anything about slavery. But I suspect that it is necessary to break a person morally.
And let's assume that Lucy's tragic fate was just beginning. They hung him on a cross-not to death, but for two days! So that you can then take it off and take it for a ride through further program points. That's why they weren't mutilated. Everything was still ahead. :-(
> And Robert House was waiting for Cooper in the bathroom on purpose ? Their meeting seemed very strange, didn't House have anything else to do but stand in the bathroom during a veterans meeting?
It wasn't Robert House, but the same man from the bar at the beginning of the first episode. It's just that the moustache makes them look similar.
According to the plot, there was a plot with chipping. And then House gets behind Cooper!!!
I was expecting the "shot of Chekhov's gun." ;-)
The city consists of three houses, a legion camp of 30+ people-
In games, this is a convention + a limitation in PC power.
But why do that?
The weakest episode of the season so far. But how I smiled when I saw Macaulay.
The creators set the task to transfer the game in as much detail as possible. And not only plot-wise and visually. They literally implement game design in cinema. I can hardly remember this in the film adaptations of games. Everywhere they took only the plot and the visual. And then there are quests, dialogues, and LEVELDESIGN. The locations are exactly what they could be in a game, not reality. But the stupidity of everyone around is really strange. That's the same ghoul. He is being treated for radiation. Why the hell doesn't he carry a nuclear battery with him? After he was hung from barbed wire, he healed her neck and threw her out, and already in the hospital he suffered without a steampunk. And here, by the way, the authors contradict themselves... In the HOSPITAL in fallout, suffer from a lack of STEAMPUNK... In a game where hospital locations are just as pumped up with medical loot.
An important feature of the game was not brought in at the same time - no one is messing around. Go through everything, open the boxes, grab supplies - this is the base. It's also like a nuclear wasteland, but this sterile Fallout... without... RADIATION. Literally nothing clicks. They blew up the car, nobody gives a shit. Well, the promotion of the plot is strange. Although, it's in the spirit of a fallout to give up on the main quest and engage in fighting and side-dealing with different groups.
What I really like is shooting. The budget was invested in locations, extras, costumes and details. There is a dynamic, there is no snotting the whole series in the same scenery. This is especially noticeable in contrast to Division and Pluribus, where a unique director's vision hides savings on everything.
There are 3 homeless people left from the NKR - not the end of the NKR
No progress is not the end of House
Only the ending of yes-man remains.
Well, that's if you don't take the destruction of Shadysands before the events of Nieuwegas. But this stuff was also in the first season. As a result, we have the newvegas canon and the series, which, according to Toddy, is also canon. To make sure that the canons did not contradict each other, it was necessary to be a 300-year-old icq programmer, which is an unthinkable thing.
Well, the fact that the Gazebo was spinning someone else's canon in one place is also a kind of canon. We get used to that)
I don't think it's a spoiler, but Victor saves the hero at the very beginning of the game's plot)
In general, the series of locations refers as much as possible to Fallout New Vegas.
It's just a pity that Caesar himself was shown only as a skeleton, and those who stood at the head of the split Legion are the most caricatured characters, even Kevin McCallister in the role of Legate Lacert looks caricatured.
I wonder how events will develop further in the Brotherhood of Steel branch after Maximus kills the Commonwealth envoy.
What was the point of turning everything into a farce if they couldn't even come up with a single funny joke in 2 seasons? Well, even if they had crammed in an absolutely ideologically dull plot of the level of the third or fourth fall, it would have been much more interesting for the average viewer than this circus of crazy clowns.
Two Legions, Lucy crucified on the cross, ghoul children, NKR...
Macaulay Culkin was also pleased with some other familiar Latin-looking actor from the recent TV series The Last Frontier.
But in fact, it's even logical, Lanius once said that if the Legion stayed in Mojave, it would be his death.
After FNV for different factions, I had a strong feeling that the brotherhood of endlessly reflecting on the Roman Empire would not last long, especially without the central figure of Caesar himself, so what is happening in the series surprises me.
And in the series, it's not very clear which camp was shown to us. It doesn't look like a Fort or a Legate's Camp. They either moved, or it's some kind of hiking Camp, but then it's unclear how Caesar managed to die there. Therefore, there is a chance that we will see a normal battle between the Legion and the NCR/Brotherhood with a normal number of manpower.
But with the NKR it is more difficult. Or they were completely devoured by the bureaucracy and everything fell apart by itself when the SS was destroyed. Either the republic is alive somewhere behind the scenes and its hands just didn't have time to get to Mojave again.
P.S. Of course, all these reflections are not worth a damn, and it's so clear that the Gazebo is just finishing off the survivors in order to calmly forget about the legacy of the others in order to defend its own. But I want to believe
I remember there was a base in Mojave, and a bunch of branches all over the country, one of which was in the Great Rift.
Yes, the entire Legion could have been brought up to the battle of the Dam, but some part had to remain in the disputed territories.
So everything is quite logical.
Once again, I'm convinced that Maximus has a Savant perk. I am sure that everything he has done now will benefit him. Well, at least with intelligence, everything is clear, the lowest-leveled skill.
In general, it's a chaotic series - there are Legion, remnants of the NKR, the brotherhood, Victor, and the factory at once. As if the authors didn't intentionally want to delve into the Vegas ENT in detail and just went through the tops and showed what happened to the factions. Moreover, there are two camps from one faction, and two characters from the other. Such a thing.
I was talking to a dog because Cooper had a dog before the war, and he was addressing the dog, "so you know everything," meaning his last dog, as if it hadn't died and that's what it was.
It was as if he had replaced the previous dog in his memory with a new one.
Maximus is no stranger to felling his own without consequences (it resembles the actions of a player in any foul when you bug your own for loot)
