@Stalker96kor: Point 7 - in some episode, this female caretaker was shown (I don't remember the name 😅) , she was like Coop's wife's secretary, she also asked to find out everything about this energy, like)
@Stalker96kor: 1. The actions of the series obviously take place after the game New Vegas, and already there was a computer House like 2. It was revealed in their meeting when Cooper had another flashback. 3. Considering that there's only one episode left, and Cooper only turned on the Chaos in the last one, we'll have to wait for the next season. 4. Again, it is unlikely that something will be shown. If only another seed for next season 5. Modern screenwriters don't owe anyone anything. They'll cut off the season in mid-sentence so that everyone can wait for the third one. Cliffhangers are in fashion today. 6. Most likely they'll get along with House and mess something up together. 7. No. In episode 6, young Betty was shown. Her wife, Cooper, asked her to find information about cold fusion. 8. Again, there are too many items for one series. They won 't really reveal or show you anything )
@ppcpc10: In the game, House was alive, just in a life support capsule, and just using the computer as... The devil knows what to call it, I lived through him in general
@GeorSavlaev: There didn't seem to be any special expectations. The main storylines have completed well. The solid 8/10 still remains. We are waiting for the 3rd season
@LiaTay: They are always released on English-language platforms on time, and we have a delay of 1-2 days while translation teams prepare dubbing. + pirates are doing the same thing. 1-2 days and spread out on the distribution. I think everything will be fine tomorrow.
@Stalker96kor: no, it's just a bug of this site, for some reason they show us the time and date of the release in New York. When they premiere at 21:00, it's already 5:00 a.m. in Moscow, so it turns out that they're 1 day late. TV series translations are being done very quickly now. I've been writing to tech support for many years, they say they'll fix it, but the bug still exists.
I've given cons to almost everyone who has a comment that this is a conscious flood. 24 comments at the time of writing mine. Let mine be cleaned up too. But why the fuck would people read it all later? I hope there won't be any more off-series comments after me. You just see so many comments, you think it means it's already out, you go to read the first reviews, and then: Garbage, garbage, garbage.
@Paramelion: It's better to write to tech support and ask them to fix the bug and indicate the release time of the episodes in Moscow, not New York. Then you won't have to follow the comments.
@mavlytovfagiz: But why? If a huge number of users live in different time zones. Imagine, there is not only Moscow. Even in the Russian Federation, there are a lot of time zones, and we are sitting here from other countries. Everything is logical, as the series is released, in which time zone, and indicate.
@natalieatem: all sites can work with time zones. How it can work: the admin indicates the release time of the series in a certain zone, and for users it is already displayed in their zone.
@natalieatem: Because it's convenient and logical, but to see on the calendar that the episode was already released yesterday, and in the meantime it hasn't been released at all, it's illogical. Imagine, the whole country lives based on Moscow time. You can also create your own time zones for other countries, but it's better to make a different time for each time zone. In 2026, this is a primitive task for specialists.
@independence777: believe me, no one will bother so much, the site just takes information from tvmaze, and then it doesn't matter, figure it out for yourself, we've been waiting for some innovations for years))
@Paramelion: Oh, God, cry. Comments are open, you can flood. That's the point. I always laugh at such law enforcement officers who have been given a little bit of power (cons)
Well... As expected, this is not the end, but rather a softening of all the lines of the season in order to finish them off (haha) in the third. It's not good, it's not bad, it's just time to get used to the fact that this way the authors will earn more money, and therefore they see no problem in stretching the plots over several seasons, instead of writing finished stories.
Something else is bad. Yes, geography is still everywhere, which is why it was painful to watch the battle with the Claws. Over and over again, familiar places are thrown in the background that shouldn't be this way, but the fans need to show something, right? And these are small things, because my main disappointment this season is something else. In the murdered New Vegas. A whole city, alive and thriving. There are so many lives and ambitions that Bethesda is uncomfortable with, because they don't like Rebirth, they want to continue reducing the post-nuclear society to a bunch of bums. Yes, thank you for showing the streets and signs, but where are the families? Where is the life that was on these streets? But no, the Enclave aka Bethesda destroys everything that is not made by them, because it is more profitable to build a game on their own terms. But okay, this has already been said a hundred times without me.
Because the problem with the second season is that it feels like an interlude. The plot was very promising, but in the end it was all some kind of zilch.:
"Hank." Hank is merged as the boss of an ordinary dungeon, he played the role of a villain and was ignominiously killed, figuratively of course. His branch only led to the fact that there is a more sinister player. Honestly, it's kind of boring. Instead of a character with their own beliefs, they got only a pawn that does what they're told.
- Shelter 33/32. The whole season it played the role of a sidekick, interrupting what was happening with jokes about incest and the like, and in the end, as I understand it, it will simply be completely cut out by the Enclave troops who arrived.
- Managers from Shelter 31. Well, it's just a shameful drain. They wandered, wandered, and died. Yes, it is logical, yes, it is expected, but why their branch was needed, except as the reason for Norm's appearance on the surface, is not clear.
- Maximus. I sparked a civil war in the Brotherhood of Steel, thank you very much, half of Fol5 will obviously be about this, disgusting. I gave Cooper the McGuffin, which is why House is back with us. Thanks for that too. I got confused with the Claws before the arrival of the main forces of the NKR. Well.. Spectacular, well done. As a result, they will now cook with Lucy in Lucky 38 tower. But for what?
- Thaddeus. Turns into a centaur. What he did to deserve this, I don't understand.
"Lucy." She gets to know the wasteland, but in my opinion, her character doesn't develop in any way, continuing to play the warrior of light 50/50, and wander back and forth the rest of the time. Potentially merged, it seems to me.
- Cooper. The only character whose branch is still gorgeous. It's interesting to follow his experiences and development, but he has one big problem. He will be looking for a family for the third season. It's clear that he doesn't have any other motivations, but that's a bad thing. The screenwriter seems afraid to try to come up with a different motivation for him and therefore drives him back and forth. And it's really sad, Cooper is an awesome character, and Goggins is an actor, and they deserve to be treated with more respect and a deeper story. In fact, he is and remains the main character of the series and the connecting link of every story.
Honestly, the second season is not bad, but it is weaker than the first and is marking time, afraid to raise the stakes (spam with the phrase "war has begun" does not count for raising the stakes, they are constantly at war somewhere). He introduces characters and new branches by dropping them. NCR, Legion, Super Mutants. Will they play on? I doubt. He doesn't reveal the world. The Mojave wastelands are exactly the same homeless area as the wastelands of the first season. There is no development of the world, and New Vegas is just a decoration to amuse the ego or maybe to fuck with the fans. And, as I said before, it all feels like cleaning up the tails in order to make room for future Bethesda creations. I really want to enjoy watching it, but apparently it's better not to know anything about the world of Fallout in order for the series to feel more interesting.
Colorado. It is ironically curious and interesting, as far as I know, these places have not been included in the games yet. It's clear that the global mix will be between the Brotherhood with their damn robot and the Enclave. Lucy, Maximka and NKR will probably protect Vegas from the Legion, remaining on House's bail while Cooper searches for his family in the snowy expanses. I don't hope for a clear conclusion to the story, as long as they don't make it worse. During the second season, they constantly jumped from plot to plot, eventually not really completing any of them, and now they plan to jump through several global stories altogether. It's kind of doubtful.
@Meowser: I'm not absolutely convinced that Hank's story is over. He could have been faking it, so he pressed his button himself, without waiting for Lucy.
@Nog: That would be a pretty dismal move in terms of plot. I have a higher opinion of the authors, so I think Hank has been permanently and irrevocably reset.
Moreover, it turns out to be quite ironic. He became what he made of others.
@Meowser: you say that it's better not to know anything about the world of Fallout in order to be interesting.
I will disappoint you. It would have been better if they hadn't filmed such a second season. They made a huge pile without really explaining anything. If anything, my introduction to the universe is the first season of the series
@Meowser: I asked for something, something has already been written. But thanks to the people for the explanations. It would be harder to watch without them.
I forgot to add that for the third time in the series, the Ranger helmet is shown to us with characteristic music. The third time they do the same thing, it's so ridiculously ridiculous.
@Meowser: You have a mistake about Colorado. It happened many times as part of the games. And that's how Tactics ends at the local levels, even though it's not in the canon.
@Meowser: The location itself is only in FT, but it is mentioned in the text repeatedly. I don't remember the exact location now, it's easier to look in the search engine, but there were 100% mentions). In particular, Colorado Springs.
@Elessar_: The gazebo already hates Nieuwegas, and DLS would prefer not to take it into account at all. I would be very surprised at any reference to them ever in the series.
Norm, of course, was very lucky that the managers and cockroaches killed each other, and his only ally survived) I wonder where he went now. Will he try to return to the shelter?
@Nog: It was just fantastic luck that the cockroaches didn't touch Norma, the whole crowd ran past, and then the whole crowd disappeared from the closed room.😉
@Mouse_Sonya: Have you played a game? tactics, for example? it's a normal technique there - you let one dude run, followed by cockroaches, while others stupidly stand and shoot at them
@ppcpc10: ///Who killed the last living cockroach in a closed room?///
There is at least one more door in the canteen! ;-)
The cockroaches got drunk and crawled under the carpet to digest their food. Or they went to drink. Or they flew away through a broken window. Or they crawled into the ventilation and other sewers.
Norman definitely crawled out from under the table when the rustling subsided. ;-)
Overall, the second season turned out to be weaker than the first. It often happens, but it's still a pity. It somehow spreads apart; the first one also had several parallel plots, but they successfully complemented each other, influenced and intersected at the right moments. And here we somehow got somewhere, but we didn't really achieve anything. It's annoying.
Compared to season 1, season 2 seems a bit weaker. I won't say that it's bad, on the contrary, it turned out very well - as long as the story is interesting, I don't care how canonical the series is compared to the games.
Nevertheless, there was a feeling that much more emphasis was placed on fanservice - too many details, fractions, places were shown only in order not to play any really significant role.
Especially NCR and Legion - they appear and disappear only when the plot demands it. And especially the Legion - when the plot required them to fight, they fought, when the plot said enough was enough - they stopped, suddenly packed up and went to Vegas.
Imho they had to be left in a state of chaos - their story seemed to me instructive and comical exactly in the way that one would expect it from the fallout universe.
Hank's line still drags the whole series, it would have been better if he had left Lucy addicted, at least she became more cheerful, although in the end she still gained some courage and became more courageous in terms of difficult decisions.
Maximus is still the most uninteresting of the main characters, if in the first season he was at least a little funny, then in the second he became as dull as possible, like his whole storyline, even his bro, who became a ghoul, and has a more interesting personality.
We revealed a lot of prehistory in the season through Hank's flashbacks, it was really good. I really look forward to the further expansion of the Institute's arch
And I really enjoyed the second season)) And the fact that it was released one episode a week did not upset him. (Maybe that's why many people found this season stretched?) The only question I had at the very end was, "Where did Cooper get the dog from?" when they showed him walking through the desert towards, apparently, Colorado. Dogmit was in town with Max and Thaddeus, wasn't she? Although okay, maybe he just found a new one on the way, fuck it with the dog))) I'm not arguing with anyone who hasn't enjoyed the season, I'm not trying to convince anyone, everyone had their own expectations and hopes)) But I'm thrilled with the acting and the characters; the pace of the narration (it wasn't boring at all with anyone's branch in any episode); the story at 33 and their brainless feast during the plague; and 32, where Chet finally grew balls; they showed a super mutant - and I kept waiting when he appears again to help Max during the fight with the Claws, but then I thought that why on earth would he help Max at all)) if anyone can help with his "us against them", it's probably the Claws)) The biggest surprise for me personally was how touched I was by the appearance of the NKR in the city. For me, this is an indicator of a high-quality scenario, when ENT was given little by little, on the sly - something will be said about them in passing, then they will be mentioned there - but there is always enough information to form a certain opinion about them and for their appearance - they are here! There are few of them, but they are HERE! - it had such a strong emotional effect on me))) In general, wow, great, gorgeous, I'm very happy with everything, I'm ready to wait for the third, fourth, and seventy-ninth seasons, if they're all like that)))
@captain_wood: Speaking of the dog. I just realized that the dog had managed to escape to the Compartment. Max also gave up on Thaddeus after the battle with the claws and just dumped him at Lucy's place. His friend is (nominally) in trouble, his arm has fallen off. But Maximka doesn't care.
@Meowser: Well, that, by the way, I can still understand)) if my friend's arm had fallen off, and the friend himself hadn't panicked much, then I would have thought, "well, OK, he's fine, I just broke my claws and almost died, I'll go get some air where the situation is quieter, oh, wow, the love of my life is suddenly here, well of course, I'd rather spend time with her, I can't help Thaddeus at all right now, I'll think about it later")) but the fact that he went exactly to where Lucy was (as well as how, of all those locked in the room, only Claudia, who liked Norm, survived (and where did the cockroaches go?)) - this, of course, turned out very conveniently))) and Tadeus is Tadeus, nothing really depresses him, he knows how to somehow get out of a situation, if not a winner, then at least a survivor, and Maximka, I think, knows this already))) however, I read about these centaurs on the Internet (I didn't play the game, my idea of centaurs was somewhat different), and I really hope that either they will be somehow different in the series, or they will have time to save Tadeus, because yes, it will be very insulting to turn such a character into ... such ((( health to him!
It feels like they tried to cram almost all the plot points into the series ... well , it turned out to be crumpled somehow . We're waiting for season 3 damn
Shtosh. I liked the season finale, in principle. Not worse than the finale of the first season) I was happy for Coop, if only because he really knows for the first time in 200 years that the series is alive. 🤞🏻 Because living in the unknown is hard and scary. I would like them to finally reunite next season. But what I would NOT like is the love line of Max and Lucy. I don't know, I just don't want to be distracted by it...
Well, as a result, for me personally, the season turned out to be somewhat crumpled, a little weaker than the first one. (Perhaps because I didn't have high expectations before the release of the first season.) Half of the episodes are just fillers, in which, by and large, nothing special happens, and all the plot denouements were thrown off for the last episode. But in any case, they left the groundwork for the third season, so we're waiting to see what they show us next. For me, the most interesting thing will be what the creators of the series will do in Colorado, since there was no game about this area, the authors will have to come up with original content.
The finale absolutely did not meet my expectations, and as a result, we entered season 3. Of the characters in season 2, I can mention Ghoul and Thaddeus, personally, I only liked them, and Lucy did so many stupid things all season.
@DanDan99: Yes, I agree with you, just like the whole season, it turned out to be much weaker than the first one, which was just Wow. I had him in the first place of all the series last year. Well that... I hope the third one won't let you down!)
I liked the ending, and the season was good, the only complaint was that I needed two more episodes, then everything would fit, but so many lines are somehow crumpled up.
The moment with NCR's shot at Slow Mo is great, and it will be interesting to see them and other new players in season 3. In the final, everything is as expected, but Staff surprised me.
I liked the whole main three this season, although Cooper stands out the most. Well, Thaddeus is very good. I hope there will be a continuation at least in the second half of 2027, and not later.
I just don't understand why they're trying to bring Lucy and Max together, they look like schoolchildren who've been paired up, but they don't do anything. Zero chemistry is just anti-chemistry!
Unfortunately, I didn't like season 2 (although I'll be waiting for the 3rd). The two-headed brahmin finally licked off the classic atmosphere of Fallout, a la the middle between the TV series Shelter/Silo and the movie The Road. I won't repeat myself about inconsistencies with ENT and script flaws - see the comments above. I just want to say that the promo materials for this season promised a cool combat scene in the style of shootouts with the V.A.T.S. system, but there was NOT a SINGLE memorable combat scene in the entire season. After the 8th episode, there is absolutely nothing to remember - and in the 1st season there was, at least, a good mix with a ghoul.
@msev: There's no point waiting for a classic atmosphere, considering who has the rights to the franchise right now. And the scene with the Kings falls under the gunfight of ala V.A.T.S. with a stretch.
@msev: Yes, the season is normal, watchable. But after the bombastic 1st season, the second one certainly sank a lot... I hope the 3rd one doesn't let you down...
It seems like a great season, but it feels like I've only watched half of the season and now I have to wait for more to watch the season... It's like everything is just beginning, and the season is over...
Shh, the second season somehow came out weaker, partly because a lot of lines were mixed up - pieces of the NKR, pieces of the Legion. It's like they tried to add more fan service, because, well, this is Vegas.
Maximus and Lucy will probably defend the city, although I would prefer that, at least, Lucy leave with Howard. Their interaction was always interesting. But apparently not, she and House will be together. However, I didn't really understand why House's signal was jumping and showing Signal Lost mixed with the face. Did Cooper just throw away the peep boy, and not take cold fusion, or did I miss something?
The line between Norma and Steph is still not completely clear, okay, Steph, sent the data to the Enclave, launched the second phase. Did Norm come to the surface to do something? He doesn't even know where Lucy is or what to do. Will he return to the shelter, and there everyone is killed by the Enclave or, even worse, turned into some kind of mutants?
Globally, of course, I wonder where everything will lead if the Wasteland has been an experiment all this time. What, then, can we expect in new Follach after an unknown number of years, a war between the Enclave and the Brotherhood? Although it's a bit unfortunate that the Gazebo is methodically trying to destroy humanity, reducing them to some kind of cavemen, removing all attempts to build a normal society.
With Caesar, it turned out as I thought, there is only one Caesar and the legion must end without him. Expected, to be honest.
@gkalian: I also couldn't figure out why House was having communication problems again, and I could only think of one explanation. Too stupid, but too appropriate. House "moved" into the peep-boy, which he handed to Cooper, and therefore the signal cannot break through. The shelter is deep.
At least there definitely wasn't a scene where he takes Coldfugen away again.
@Meowser: It's also a little strange, because right after the pipboy drawer opened, where there was a picture of House, the frame jumped to the big screen and House was there too. That is, there were two faces. Maybe, of course, while Cooper was walking, the main consciousness really "moved" to pipboy, but this was not at all obvious and was shown off-screen.
And where exactly did this legion army come from? Apparently, the NKR squad was also taken from there. They show two camps of homeless people and 2.5 cripples left over from the NKR, then suddenly it turns out that they will also all fight for New Vegas. It's absurd. And what kept such an army of claws in their pen? The series showed that they had no "programmed zone" and they stupidly did not want to break the dead door. This is nonsense. There are also those people who are looking at the broken door and the crowd of claws ahead. And even then, they didn't rush off somewhere far away, but crowded into the nearest building. To make it easier for the claws to kill them 🤣
@shubkin: this is really nonsense, no one is arguing. Welcome to the work from the authors of "The City of children in a post-nuclear wasteland" and "The City of homeless people around a nuclear warhead"
@shubkin: I think the joke about the NKR is that for years they said they had an army, but the Ghoul didn't believe them and thought they were just crazy fanatics (as the audience thought), in the end it turned out that it was true and they weren't waiting there in vain.
@shubkin: The NCR is not only the destroyed Shady Sands plus a small base near Vegas. They had three states under their control. And the Legion isn't just camped on the other side of the Causeway, either. Very large organizations, not much inferior to BS.
@shubkin: this is probably a reference to the game. when, for example, you meet claws in tactics, they also seem to be trampling on the same area. And the fact that people are crammed in is a satire on ludomania - like it doesn't give a shit about everything and death - we'll play for money, even if we die.
"you do understand that if he loses, we'll all die? ".... "I'm betting he'll lose anyway!"
Well, the finale closes some arches, brings to the fore the "old new" enemies. In a way, Bati Lucy's ending is a happy one. I think it was the best option for him. Hopefully, the Enclave will fully come into play in the third season. So, where did Coop go? In Colorado? Their tandem with Lucy was great, I would have continued to look at it to be honest)
I only played Fallouts 1 and 2, so I don't really understand ent. For me, it was enough that it was in the original parts. The feeling of a patchwork quilt falling back into patches. There's a piece here, there, but there's no whole story. The characters are poorly written, their motivation is even weaker, well, except for the hero Goggins. They try to wink at the fans of all parts, it turns out badly. Deathclaw was frankly a pity, because they weren't shown as some kind of evil monsters. We could have given "Game of Thrones" and fed Max to the claws. I don't know what those stupid Romans are for. It can take a long time to list. If they close it, I won't regret it.
@Duderino: there is nothing in the series at all from 1 or 2 parts. This season is all about references to NewVegas. The game is normal, among its developers there are those who participated in 1 and / or 2 fouls. As it always happens now: the game is better than the film adaptation. The fractions are normally shown there and the motivation is clear. It's a mess. What kind of Legion? Who are the NCR? Figure it out for yourself, we won't explain anything.
@happyst: There is one unpleasant option about Thaddeus.
Thaddeus, as it seems to us, is infected with VRE, that is, the virus of man-made (one of the translations) evolution. The source of the appearance of some creatures in the wasteland, in particular super mutants and some ghouls, as well as centaurs (pictured). Apparently, Thaddeus is turning into this horror.
Wife, Mother. He could remarry after defrosting. Lucy's mother is Rose McLean, she was shown in the flashbacks of the first season, as well as at the Observatory, at the end of the season, in the form of a ghoul. The poisoning was probably caused by radioactive contamination after the explosion at Shady Sands.
I suspect that in the third season they will show us how he was released from arrest, after which he had to work as an animator, which was shown in the first season.
It's likely that he's an AI, not the original.
P.S. I feel stupid about this list, but I hope it helped :D
I just got high from the series , unhappy game fans can go and cry somewhere out there, it doesn't matter) Max is a handsome guy, he didn't piss off and took almost everyone away, especially the man with the anti-tank gun who saved him. I'm sorry for Howard, I've been looking for my loved ones for 200 years and I'm already broke...
@tema_krasnoe: Well, it's not like he broke off too much. Previously, he did not know if they could survive nuclear strikes or where to look for them at all. Now he knows that yes (he realized this from the postcard at the bottom of the capsule), and at least an approximate staff. That's why he doesn't look upset when talking to House.
Hank really drags the whole series, the character is not the loudest and not the most spectacular, but the densest. Each of his scenes is filled with inner tension, with the feeling that he knows more than he's saying, and this is especially felt in the finale. Hank is neither a hero nor a villain, but a man of the system. The ending leaves questions, it seems that the world of Fallout is much more cynical than it seems.
A weak season compared to the first one. The Maximum-Lucy pair sucks completely, what a wooden and uninteresting character this Maximus is, Thaddeus is many times more interesting and lively, you worry more about him (his mutation into a centaur) than for this Maxim. Cooper is good, the only interesting branch, the actor is good, lively and interesting. The only character who has a clear story arc, the search for a family. By the way, I wouldn't be surprised if my wife is at the Enclave headquarters. The story arc of the Norm is absolutely zero, as if it were superfluous, the scene with the cockroaches is fucked up, but they didn't touch him and kindly left his potentially future girlfriend alive. As for the shelters, the first part of the season was a passing one, but at the end we were intrigued. What is the second stage? Overall not bad, but much weaker than the first one. The season is completely packed with fan service, in the second part it became at least a little interesting
Apparently, it's time to say goodbye to Vegas in this series. It's not that I was expecting anything great, but they decided to play the season with trumps. The bad Enclave is to blame for everything. We need to start Liberty Prime again. Once again, the Enclave has a huge base after the destruction of their next last stronghold in the wasteland world. I was thinking in the right direction when in previous episodes I recalled the Enclave's experiments on death claws in Fallout 3. Then House confirmed that they had set the claws on the Strip. And I don't understand the ending of New Vegas, which is accepted as canon here. There was no congresswoman's head in Lucky 38 :) Fallout again didn't really squeeze out the closing episode of the season, in the general calendar layer. The situation turned out well, the fanservice is chasing itself here.
for all those who wrote above that Colorado has not appeared in the games yet, and they will have to invent content: that's true, but there is Van Buren, the "original" and ultimately unreleased third part of Fallout from the developers of the first two parts. The pre-alpha version of the game as well as design documents are available online. The game was set in Colorado, among other places. Many of the concepts from this game eventually went to New Vegas, and the game can be considered semi-canonical. Apparently, the showrunners will draw the ENT of this region from there, since the flashed map in one of the series indicated locations from this game.
It is interesting to read positive comments when the extremely interesting and deep history of New Vegas has been turned into some kind of illogical trash torn apart, just at the level of the Beszd plots.
Todd is in his repertoire: F3 - "hello, son" F4 - "hello, father" The series - "hello, father" (although this branch has been completed), "Hello, Lucy" and there will be a continuation of the plot "hello, husband".
And the most curious thing is that this "hello, husband" is the only interesting thing in the second season. Everything else is so much about nothing.
No, it's great that people liked it, but still, I recommend at least watching some kind of igrofilm, or debriefing, since you don't play games. I understand perfectly well that not everyone has the desire, time and opportunity to get stuck into a huge rpg for a good 60 hours of passage.
Honestly. You'll be blown away by how seemingly three-dimensional dummies in a computer game can be written out and how interesting the plot and plot branches can be, clinging to each other and leading the narrative forward.
Overall, it's a nice picture (except for the claws of death, they're just flawed), a couple of interesting characters, and a couple of interesting "this is the twist" moments. It's peppered with logical holes, it's unclear why the necessary thread with the managers of volt-tech, merged with Hank, who turned out to be just a puppet of a greater evil in the form of an Enclave (let's say yes), degenerates from the legion jumping around Caesar's skeleton (no, they weren't very smart anyway, but there was a glimmer in their speeches logic. Strange, but still logical), the NCR, which were generally where they were all the time while the claws were harassing the strip behind the thin gates.
By the way, I didn't understand rofl with the death claws. So that you understand, these creatures are so tough that you have to use grenade launchers to kill them. And then Thaddeus hits him with some kind of incomprehensible rifle.
In any case. I'm curious to know which of the relatives we'll be looking for in F5, but I think I'll pass. Both with the series and with a potential fifth numbered game in the series.
@jhonny_k: I forgot to write about the death claws in my comment. Yes, it's kind of mockingly comical that Thaddeus kills the same death claw with one bullet from his grandfather's berdyank, on which the NKR ranger spends all the action points in VATS mode from an anti-tank rifle.
@Redopera: This is not an anti-tank rifle. Large-caliber sniper rifle Barret M82. But technically, yes, an AP shot in VATS is more expensive than a simple rifle shot by 2 or 3 points, I don't remember exactly anymore).
@Hidji: I will not start a dispute, because I am not an expert. As a child, my father told me that muzzle-braking rifles of the kind shown in the episode were used to destroy military equipment and tanks. Just out of curiosity, I read about the Barrett M82A1. This is a large-caliber sniper rifle for hitting vehicles, including light tanks :) So rofl with Berdanka remains rofl.
@Redopera: a modern tank from it is not easy to hit. And the tanks of the 70s-80s model, too. Only with a lot of luck or if you're a super sniper, like in the comics))). Anti-tank rifles as such are a thing of the past. But some kind of armored personnel carrier is easy. Although many of them are even hit with 7.62 caliber machine guns, not like 12.7 or .50. Technically, yes, the specialization of this rifle is to defeat lightly armored targets, including buildings, as well as enemy infantry at long range. By a mile, for example. Or to look at a person in the house directly through the wall, with the help of special sights. In general, the M82 has long been mentally and physically outdated, there is much better. But since it was in the first parts, it is still being added to all the others. The fans really loved it))).
Why did the cockroaches kill everyone except my girlfriend, but didn't devour anyone? Why did the Enclave control Volt Tech, which means the transfer of synthesis to House, but after receiving synthesis back, did not continue the deal? Why was it necessary to refine the microchips and try to somehow "sell" them to House, despite the Enclave, working in parallel for him? Many questions, few answers. Complicated
@deus_ex_machine: Cockroaches don't kill everyone in the game either. they usually run after the one who ran first. Perhaps this is a reference to the fallout tactician. That's how I killed them there. While one was running, the others were shooting at them stupidly and they didn't even touch them.
I've never played the game, so I don't understand the references, but I really like the series as a whole.
The main question that is gnawing at me is: why did these comrades from management freeze for 200 years, then to manage the vaults in the post-apocalypse and live in so-so conditions (especially to give birth to children there)? What was the point?
@Smartcookie: This shit about voltek and experiments with shelters was introduced by the gazebo. In the original games, they fulfilled their original goal, namely survival. So the logic is exactly the same as in the series. An evil evil corporation, but above it even more evil evil villains * repeat the required number of times*.
And in the arbor games, this is not explained in any way. It's just that there are control shelters, and there are those where everyone was initially doomed. So they wanted it to be more fun. After all, the apocalypse is so much fun, and people with healthy genetics and psyche can be safely disposed of in this way, but what?
@Meowser: there were, but it was rather an exception. As far as I remember, there's something like preparing people for space colonization, not all that nonsense.
@AtomicTroll: Well, not exactly like that. In the first Fallout, the shelters were really just shelters. And there were only three of them (15, 12 and 13) - one was destroyed, another was inhabited by ghouls and only one remained alive.
Nevertheless, the original authors decided to add experiments to the second part. As a result, it turned out that the goal of the 13th was to keep the control group of people without radiation-affected genes. In the second part, another shelter appears, the eighth, but it has already been destroyed. Avellone said they were thinking of adding information about his appointment. It was the same as on the 13th - to keep a control group of people who were not exposed to radiation and viruses.
So the Gazebo just developed the original idea that was in Interplay games. Even the 31-32-33 managerial shelter from the TV series was in the game, in Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel. Another thing is that by adding experiments, the Gazebo did not explain "why it is." Well, I wanted to, well, it's fun. Now there's a chance that the series will tell you what it's all about.
@gkalian: Eighth, this is a City of Refuge. Everything is relatively fine with him at the time of the events of Fallout 2. Most likely, they became part of the NKR.
P.S. It's amazing how that scientist from the first season was able not only to escape from the Enclave base in Colorado in the mountains, but also actually survive in these mountains, descending from them and reaching Southern California alive. But what am I talking about. There are already enough miraculous rescues in the series, etc. The scriptwriters don't even sweat it.
@Mertisadon: ///It's amazing how that scientist from the first season was able to not just escape from the Enclave base in Colorado in the mountains///
While watching the first season, I was sure that it went on for two days. Saved Lucy from radtarakan. I ate and threw away my robe at the cave of the radioactive bear. In the evening I reached Philly. :-(
@Smartcookie: Three shelters participated in the experiment of breeding top managers (frozen in the 31st), the exchange between shelters was necessary in order to prevent inbreeding. In the 32nd, people rejected by the experiment were sent, and in the 33rd, successful specimens were left, which married the defrosted from the 31st.
It turned out to be a great season. At first I wanted to wait for all the episodes to be released, but then I watched the first one and couldn't stop, I was looking forward to each new episode with such impatience. And personally, as a fan of New Vegas, it was just a thrill to watch, so many references, so many familiar and native things. Yes, of course, it would be possible to find fault with a lot, but I didn't want to at all, because there were a lot more positive impressions. The only drawback for me, probably, is that eight episodes were too few for such a story, they spun so many storylines, and each one was touched only in passing, but I wanted to see so much. Now we can only wait for the third season and hope that it will not be worse.
@Barnaby: everything is beautiful and fanservice, but what's in the game's screensaver, that for some reason the series forgot about the recoil at such and such a caliber :o)
@Mertisadon: Like guns, they have a muzzle brake. And a shock absorber in the butt on the powder gases of the shot. But the recoil is really strong, even if it's not like a horse kicked.
@IAmOlegN: but there is a caveat. In games, this is always a trained hero. Even if he came out of the Shelter. And there are a lot of pre-war civics). Even local fleas can stampede them if they swarm.
@Hidji: Well, by the way, yes. I remembered from some kind of folacha, where the radtaraks killed the dude's mom, who bullied the main character and there was a choice - to help or to fuck everyone up)
@IAmOlegN: Remember the beginning of the troika, there was an invasion of wild cockroaches, and there were about two dozen disasters, as if the shelter had been destroyed. Although there were guards and weapons there.
Only I was super trained , I trained a lot with a toy rifle 🤣
why. Well, why shove Liberty Prime into the series as well? how many times does a gazebo need to polish unexpected turns with a gigarobot superweapon in order for a new bs branch to be born?
@Redopera: Would that be enough? if you were smart enough to come up with cold fusion, a Legion branch, maybe you can take something out of your head for BS? okay, in F4 they remembered the LP for the second time, but in the series it will be the third time - yes, apparently, the alpha version, but is it really impossible to come up with something new, since you already rarely remember the game in full?)
@uandiinunison: due to the fact that the NV content was squeezed like an under-squeezed lemon, the world of 3D Fallout somehow narrowed down sharply in my head. Putting the squeeze on the game, I was able to see the world of 3D Fallout. There aren't enough stories like Joshua Graham with Indians or Ulysses pushing back the walls of the post-castle, which is divided into shelters and everything else outside of them.
So we found out that the Redtarkan pack is many times stronger than the Death claws pack))
I'm thinking, maybe Cooper is a tracing paper from 4 follies, where a parent is looking for a son? Maybe his daughter is some kind of granny thread at the head of the Enclave, which was unfrozen 70 years ago?
Well, it's just weaker than the first season.. It's still a good thing, of course, Goggins is dragging the whole series on himself, as usual. Well, Ellochka is still my beauty. The maximum has become better than in the first season! But the overall plot doesn't seem to have really moved. Well, Hank's line was closed, okay
Oh, was the super mutant just to give one of the dozens hints about the enclave in order to get out of the series later? I hope they will return at 3, otherwise it is really strange..
What the fuck is Liberty Prime, I'm still kicking it in the top three, and they're dragging me here
We are waiting for season 3! I wish it hadn't been two years...
It's a normal season, I disagree with those who are unhappy. It just played into a lot of things that it wasn't completely released. This is a bit more of a loss than just the usual difference between seasons 1 and 2 of good TV series.
But the fact that the super mutants were only touched by the edge is a shame.
Judging by the development of the plot, did they really decide to canonize the events of fallout tactics? Colorado (vault 0?), heads/brains in a pot and a certain third force that House is talking about (Calculator?), and the general theme of friendship is gum between humans and mutants in the brotherhood, played out in "tactics". That would be great. Tactics is an undeservedly discounted game, especially in terms of lore
@dormancy: I went through it several times in my time and still don't understand why the game was leaked by both gamers and publishers. Yes, it was more interesting to fight in Jagged alliance 2, but it was still a good game for its time.
@dormancy: House literally pronounces the word "Enclave" in plain text. Nothing new. It's Bethesda again with this Enclave...Already in Fallout 2, the Enclave was torn apart, and the real top with the real president. OK, Fallout 3 still has a large base on the East Coast. She was yanked too. Now there's a base in Colorado. The Obsidians were able to come up with an interesting (albeit local) conflict for New Vegas by introducing and registering a new faction, the Legion, even in Fallout 4, Bethesda tried to form a Commonwealth vs Institute vs Brotherhood. But no... it's back to the Enclave again...which was destroyed twice.
@Sociophobe: The Enclave is too large an organization to have just a couple of branches throughout the United States. Colorado and Chicago are probably not their last strongholds.
"It's just a kid!" Hello, Spider-Man🥳🥳🥳 - "I was literally making money!" 😂Oh, I knew that the finale would give nothing but Hachiko mode until the new season😒
With this ending, it is unclear how they will now connect the two branches - the war in New Vegas and Cooper's journey to Colorado. I feel like the third season will be even more eventful than this one.
Shocking ending, just unreal emotions, this is the coolest TV series in the world, 10 out of 10 at your fingertips. There are a lot of interesting storylines, the line of this woman, the line of baba's brother, the line of the black guy, the line of baba's father, the line of the ghoul, the line of the ghoul in flashbacks - each of these storylines is written by real Hollywood professionals, it's just the most interesting thing I've watched in the last 10, no, 20 years.
And I repeat once again, the finale, the intensity of emotions, the walking, those looks, the incredible acting, and the finale, the finale with the card, "Colorado was a great idea," well, it's just an explosion
I don't know why I'm watching) it's not clear, it's illogical, but it's beautiful, sometimes funny, well-played, and the setting is atmospheric. I'm just a little tired of flashbacks.
@Virginia: I think I agree, the latest flashbacks turned out to be the most interesting, now it's clear why Cooper is so cynical, he trusted people too much before and is now afraid to step on the same rake.
Great video game adaptation! yes, not everything is smooth, but all Easter eggs are rendered perfectly. against the background of what Apple Marvel and HBO are doing, this series is 10 Todd Howards out of 10
For me, this season is definitely weaker than the first one. I watched them one after the other, the first one is more dynamic, but this one came out in some confusion. There are a lot of storylines that you can't keep up with. The narrative jumps. There are no answers, just questions. I was waiting for them to show how Janie and Coop got separated during a nuclear strike. And why she and her mother were safe, but he had become a ghoul. Also, the question is, what is the second phase that Steph requested?! It is expected, as previously reported, that the Cooper family will not be in cryocapsules. But according to the postcard, they're alive. I hope he finds them next season.
All the time that girl in the yellow dress, I can't help but think that she looks just like Snow White. That's who should have played her in the 2025 movie. And now for the series. Yes, from the first season, I also got a little more bored. But everything is exactly fine. Let's see what they'll cook for us next with impatience)
do I understand correctly that the government of the echo enclave turned out to be the main bastard in the end? that is, in the days before nuclear, when the nuclear threat towered over the whole world, while volt-tech thought they were the smartest, developed their bunkers and dreamed how cool they would hang out on the surface after the destruction of mankind, at this time has the government been doing the same thing for about the same time? Did Volt-tech buy synthesis from the university where Moldaver worked, and then they wanted to sell it to house in exchange for his resources? but all this time, Hank was working undercover there, who actually works for the government (enclave)? Howard thought he had stolen it from volt-tech, thereby thwarting their deal with house and thus allegedly prevented the strikes that volt-tech wanted to strike first, but in fact did what was planned, because Hank originally wanted to transfer synthesis to the government? it turns out that the government initially planned to "push the button" because of their interests? It's strange that they waited 200 years to move on to the second phase, the cleanup of shelters. Am I right in understanding that Hank stayed there undercover and one day had to clean up the competition by spraying the virus? I'm not playing games, I'm trying to figure out the plot.
@whrsmlv: /// but Hank was working undercover there all the time.///
I have almost the same opinion.
Only. It looks like career scientist Hank McLean's resumes were sent to everyone at once. ;-)
There should be a picture here:
S01E05 00:19:10 "Hank McLean was elected caretaker from 31 to 33. 2271 - 2297."
It turns out that Hank has been in Shelter No. 33 for 26 years! And here's the question. If Moldiver hadn't kidnapped him. If only our super Ghoul wasn't on our heels. If only daughter Lucy hadn't kicked up...
Maybe he didn't take up the topic of chips and work in Las Vegas?
He's already been out on a hurricane on the surface. When he burned down Sheldy Saints! And he came back with the kids. :-0
/// for the second phase – clearing shelters///
In the First season, it was clear that Shelters 33 and 32 were a talent pool. There are always as many people of the right quality at hand.
The second season suggests the idea of a reserve, then a reserve. But which one? It looks like they're a stock of heads for bio-computers, like that congresswoman!!!
In general, the expected season is from the very first days. Well, they can't make a complete story in one episode today and just stretch the movie into several episodes. No climax, no sensible ending, but they didn't forget to put in all possible Easter eggs... That's why there's a Legion here, for example? Take these clowns out of the show and nothing will change.
It's a pity that we followed the path of the fourth folk, the path of colorful lightheartedness, thrash comedy, and absurdity. The universe has a deep and well-developed ENT, and there is a huge variability in the justification of any plot twists and turns due to cryocapsules and radiation (consider magic). I wish I could see more thrillery, more seriousness, more drama, but with this kind of presentation, you don't even get into anyone. I would like to see the similarity of Pine Trees or the Wild West, damn, because all these shelters are such a huge springboard for really interesting stories and their forks, but no, we'll kill 20 people with cockroaches... after all, it's necessary to finally put them in the series so that gamers will be happy.
Only one eye remains, and the rest can not even be shown anymore.
@AndreyDubrovsky: I totally agree with you. The legionnaires were clearly superfluous, Maximus was sad, only the line with his friend ghoul enlivened the plot a little. There was nothing interesting about the shelter either, and Lucy's brother doesn't inspire empathy.
The first season of the series was normal because it wasn't filmed in Vegas. The second season is some kind of trash with fictional neurochips and batey.
with all the interest, the series draws me more and more parallels with Westworld - the same plot development "from riddle to riddle" and then the drain. I hope it won't be like this.
He screamed in his voice when Maximus took a stick and a roulette target. He was going to fight with the Claws of death, damn it)) I'm glad that he and Lucy finally met again. Lucy's father is a little sorry that he erased his memory, but apparently there weren't many options. Cooper's family is also a predictable scam, although maybe they really are in some other place. Cockroaches are also powerful, and this weirdo is very lucky that he wasn't eaten. Although I didn't understand how Claudia miraculously managed to survive, she seemed to have been bitten by the very first... Legionnaires with Caesars were actually some kind of morons, it was quite possible to do without them.
Overall, the season finale is very emotional and intriguing. Steph has also launched some kind of phase 2, I wonder what will happen there. They left a good lead for season 3, and even managed to interest me, even though I've never played these games) The enclave is there, as I understand it, like some kind of government organization or something. It's interesting, let's see what else they do.
It's a great series. I thought Coop's family wasn't there. Wangyu will meet his daughter already grown up and most likely will not recognize her. And the wife is either already in old age, or already in the next world.
Nothing is clear, of course. It's especially infuriating when the music escalates and the camera zooms in on something, clearly making it clear that the viewer needs to understand something, but you don't know what you should have understood.
If you perceive it as a light three-piece in a bright gazebo style, it's normal.
If you look at it from the standpoint of the HB, the general canon and common sense, it's a choice cringe and a hodgepodge of everything without any clear idea. There's a fanservice on the links, and next to it is a complete game that breaks the canon.
Well, the beautiful world of the post-nuclear apocalypse did not disappoint. We are waiting for season 3 - it will be just as wonderful, I am sure. And don't miss the post-credits scene!
Having no relationship with the game, this series didn't even have to try to watch. So I understood that the target audience was initially determined. To an outsider, it looks like a series of randomly changing frames.
The atmosphere of the first season has disappeared, somehow you don't worry about the characters at all, they all go somewhere and chat. I expected more, I'm going to eat up the sadness with some other series...
@SchwarzwalDem: I feel exactly the same way. I literally forced myself to watch, but I realized that I wasn't feeling any emotions at all. I don't even understand why this is, why the energy has disappeared from the series.
The second season looks like a blank for the third. In general, it wouldn't be so bad if clifhanger hadn't become, so actually wait for interesting things later. The main problem of the season is the lack of a coherent global plot for the characters, except for Cooper. And 8 episodes wasn't even enough to put the pieces on the field, it was only enough to make large strokes. An enclave that is conducting an experiment on a global scale and the second stage is about to begin. House has his own interests in opposing the Enclave. Well, and a number of feuds, which I think will serve as a background. The war of the NKR and Caesar. Infighting in the brotherhood of steel. It is still possible to bring super mutants onto the board as another force opposing the enclave. I suspect that each of the characters will get their own motive for butting heads with the enclave. I don't know what they're going to come up with for Lucy and Maximus. They are so positive that they can fit in just for all the good and against all the bad. But for Coop, it's going to be personal. Either revenge or salvation. Although he may defect temporarily to the enemy, because he will be blackmailed. Clearly, the heroes are waiting for the road again and many other adventures along the way to solve the mysteries of the enclave. I won't kick this season, perhaps. I'll admit that the authors just didn't have enough 8 episodes to fit it into a whole story. But 3 should definitely give us more. Otherwise, everything will slide into aimless journeys from point A to point B. As happened with managers. We came to Volttech, showed a brief folder with the VRE, and drank almost the entire train to get back to the shelter. But they left hooks for potentially interesting plots in the sequel. In general, we will wait
A lot has already been written, which I sometimes agree with and sometimes disagree with, but nevertheless I would like to say a few words.
The first season was one of the best series of 2024 for me. It was literally watched in just a couple of nights at the time of the premiere. It felt like all the creators had done their best, as they needed to sell the show to the audience.
The second one turned out to be weaker than the first, as if the scriptwriters found themselves in a comfort zone after the extension to the third and relaxed. It still turned out good, but not great. I've lost some inner tension when I'm waiting for the next second, and at the end of each episode I just ask, "Is that all?!", glance at the clock and then I'm like, "okay, I'll sleep it off later, we'll look further" (haha, you'll sleep it off, yeah). But nevertheless, every episode was expected, and after the release, the hand kept reaching for F5 to check if it was available for viewing or (not yet) not.
It's an interesting moment for me. In the second season, the flashbacks turned out to be more interesting than the events taking place in the present. They are somehow more beautiful, richer, and just more exciting. Perhaps, of course, it's about Goggins and McLachlan, perhaps it's that each scene is like a piece of a puzzle, or maybe there just wasn't enough spirit of discovery and adventure in the Wasteland. Let's see what happens next.
Maximus is still the most boring of the three central characters. I don't know if it's the actor or the scriptwriters, but there's a sense of tightness in the image, as if they're afraid to give it a hard time or reward it with a little pinch of madness.
Lucy grows up and begins to understand the rules of the world around her. We are waiting for new addictions, meetings with my brother and Cooper. And of course, the new "oki-doki" \"okay"\"a variant from your favorite translation."
Cooper is Cooper. Hank is Hank. Even if everything in the series was really bad, they would still continue to watch it for them, and no need to say that this is not the case.
We are waiting for the development of the branches of Norma, Steph and Thaddeus. I hope they don't merge them. Also, give the characters of Emerson and Perlman more time, don't be greedy and don't spare the sandwiches for this, please the grandfathers.
In general, it turns out something like this. The first season is a volley from all barrels. The second season is a neat and safe prologue to the next one. I hope that the third one will be cool and will return to its roots.
PS I have an opinion that if an adaptation (or a work based on motives) at least it makes you want to get to know the universe and/or the original source, then it was a success. I've been planning to go through both the classics and the new parts normally for a long time. It seems that the moment has come, and the series has become the catalyst for this.
Maybe a couple of words wouldn't fit in one comment. It happens, yes.
I watched it in two sets, 4 episodes in two days. A great follow-up. Yes, probably the first episodes of the season are not developing as dynamically as we would like, but the ending is cool. We are waiting for the third season, and I would probably like a new folych toy.
Great second season, I liked it even more than the first! I guess I'm off the topic of the game, and the whole first season was spent getting used to this "world" and the characters :) And what a wonderful soundtrack in the second season!
A great series, very intense, everything would be like that. And Maximus at least started doing something, and he even succeeded. Lucy is as cute as ever. The abundance of transitions through the blackout between parallel storylines was annoying. One thing I didn't understand, so the intrigue was that the enclave was to blame for everything? It's like the remnants of the ENT government, right?
It looks like Ella Pernell has been working out hard with dumbbells. She's really built up muscles for this season, more than Caitlin Dever built up playing Abby in The Last of Us.
I expected something more from the finale. In general, we are waiting for the climax in season 3 again. But the atmosphere of the whole series is wonderful, it looks in one go.
Clowning never changes. It's the same ridiculous circus with cosplayers. It's better than the first season, but it's still disgusting. On the plus side: we reduced the screen time of the idiotic plot of the Brotherhood of Steel and Maximus, added dramatic conspiracy theory with the shadow government of the Enclave and Howard's past, and in general, the Nevada entourage is more suitable for the Fallout setting. There are many references to New Vegas, but how out of place and out of place everything is...
In my opinion, it's a good filler season, I'm looking forward to the fiery movement.
I really liked the scene with Lucy, her father and Howard. In fact, she lost the figure of her own father, but gained a new one in the person of a ghoul. He clearly treats her like a father. He's been grieving for his family for 200 years, and now there's a girl like that, a girl who craves care and attention, which is logical enough, even though he suppresses human feelings and compassion, but his thirst for a family is stronger
Great season, I remembered how I played fallout on PC in the late 90s. A claw, a miss. And as the Ghoul hit it right in the eye, it was a pumped-up Crit. And of course the doggie is super..
When the second season of "Fallout" began airing, news spread that its ratings had dropped significantly compared to the first. What's the matter? The first season was released according to the Netflix scheme, i.e. all episodes at once, but this time, it turns out, the Amazonians decided to release an episode per week. Well, I think that's right: people decided to wait for the release of all episodes, and the ratings will soon be trampled. Personally, I was just waiting for the premiere of the final episode. I do not know if the ratings have increased at this moment. But for myself, I decided that it was hardly just the way Amazon showed these episodes.
A couple of months ago, Jonathan Nolan (Christopher's brother) said that he expects to start filming the third season in the summer, and complained about the current situation on TV. They say that the seasons are coming out with a longer and longer gap, usually now two years between seasons is a normal practice, but he would like to keep up the pace and return to the screens as soon as possible.
I fully support him. So I have a question. What the fuck? If you're annoyed by this situation yourself, what exactly have you been doing these two years? My wife was the first to suspect something was wrong. I held on to the last, rejected reality and hoped that it was about to be interesting. Well, in the next episode. Well, it's already the middle - the authors have reminded us what happened, and now the movement will begin. Well, that leaves the final quarter - now there's a lot of twists and turns and action from the heart. The movement has not started. They didn't pile turns (they piled another one and, rather, into the soul). The action was not delivered.
You know, I wouldn't even be outraged if there was a season... Well, there are 20 episodes. And eight of them would be of this quality. Yes, I'd give every single episode an A, if only I knew... Seriously, for all the claims about "Heroes", "Escape", "Stay Alive" - the authors of those series managed to keep the viewer in check for almost nine months (they went on a break in the summer). Here you've squeezed out a fart for 8 filler episodes. An absolutely passing season that brought nothing.
Is this the promised and expected Vegas for two years (so you've been leading heroes for half a season before)? One and a half locations and poorly drawn monsters? Is this the Legion? Is this Macaulay Culkin, who was trumpeted on every corner? Yes, it looks good, but it lasts for the whole season for five minutes. I'm not kidding. Why all these interrogations of journalists: "Have you played Fallout? No? Oh, have you watched a lot of reviews and walkthroughs and are you aware of Laura?! What a good fellow you are!" It's just ridiculous. Culkin was required to have absolutely no knowledge of the material. It's more of a cameo (hi, Ron Perlman as a super mutant, by the way) than even a supporting role.
You yourself, in promotional materials, merge information about one character that could be suitable for at least a twist. But then again, in two years you'll either forget what kind of character he is, or you won't care who actually plays him in the second season. And I'm sorry, they didn't deliver anything else.
From the action for the whole season, three scenes with a bullet flying in slow motion? Kla-a-a-a-S. A one-minute shootout with the Elvises? And so they were promoted, they say, here's another faction, we took it from the game and came up with this! You didn't come up with a damn thing.
Yes, it's still funny (the "Yes, she's Canadian!" scene is my favorite). Yes, the production is still good. Yes, the actors are still not annoying and are trying (special thanks to dear Agent Cooper. Without Kyle, our McLachlan would have been much worse). Therefore, the score will not be too low. But the action slows down both in modern times and in flashbacks - and after all, the Ghoul/Howard line was the most exciting. What have you been doing for two years? Did you write these screenplay masterpieces?
I have Vietnamese flashbacks, which naturally repeats the situation with another multi-part project by Jonathan Nolan, The World of the Wild West. It also had a great start, then Nolan leaked the second season, and then he got carried away with the production of "Fallout", and he didn't give a damn about the project. Now Nolan has found Wolfenstein for himself, and is adapting this iconic shooter, but he obviously doesn't give a damn about Fallout.
I'm not looking for ENT, the season seemed empty enough for 8 episodes and 1.5 years of waiting, even going back and forth, that's the end 🤷🏽♂️ There are still 8 episodes with an increase in the concentration of what is happening, then it would all be in the middle, and according to the classics, the plot is sagging in the middle. But when there is such a time gap between the seasons, I think sagging is not acceptable.
I'm not familiar with the game, with the universe. But I decided to take a look, because the guy said that wow, what a great point. Like everyone wanted to improve the world, just everyone in their own way... And there's the fight again, drachi... No one can live in peace. Yeah... about Cooper's wife saying they'd be the first to drop the bomb... And in general, they immediately began to earn money on the upcoming nuclear war, selling shelters and VIP cards... Oh, the horror. Humans are scary creatures!..
I didn't understand a lot of things. But overall it was fun. It's worth revisiting to get a better understanding.
the whole season was spent dragging rubber and pouring water, and the whole plot, one might say, in episodes 1 and 8. this season turned out to be much worse than the first one. It was boring to watch the middle of the season.
I didn't understand where the cockroaches had disappeared from the closed room)) Kyle and Walton have so far held the bar above all the actors in this series.
It looks quite interesting. New quests are gradually opening up. Of the characters, ugolek is still the most infuriating. Even the brother of Little Sugar, having swept away his entire entourage, could not surpass him.
I didn't understand why Hank McLean leaked himself like that. he was so proud of himself that he curried favor with his superiors and blablabla, and then just like that.
and an unrelated comment- to be honest, it's annoying to take such a break between seasons because it completely forgets what happened before...
I didn't like the episode because of the miraculously surviving girlfriend of the younger McLean. The only episode I didn't like. And so in general, the quality is sustained, the second season is as atmospheric as the first. Go next.
It's a good episode. Warm, if I may say so. A touching moment with Dad and Lucy. The actor who plays Max has a very pleasant soft face, but he is a warrior, in short, he is a good match for the grown-up Lucy. I really want a third season. It's still one of the best projects to date.
The 8th series is gorgeous. The characters were revealed. I really empathized with the relationship between Lucy and her father. There are many answers, but also many new questions. I'm looking forward to the new season.
Yes, it's hard to watch the second season without knowing lore. the first one was simple and everything was clear. I've lost everything here, what's going on, where they're going, why 🤷♂But there is a way out: on YouTube there is a squeeze from the entire second season, well, about the whole ENT universe. But at the same time, I believe that this is the best film adaptation of the game so far.
The feeling that this is another incarnation of the Wizard of Oz - Dorothy Lucy, the Scarecrow - Cooper the Ghoul (hung on a post like in a fairy tale), the Cowardly lion or the Tin Woodman Maximus, the dog Toto is present. The Emerald City is New Vegas.

1. The actions of the series obviously take place after the game New Vegas, and already there was a computer House like
2. It was revealed in their meeting when Cooper had another flashback.
3. Considering that there's only one episode left, and Cooper only turned on the Chaos in the last one, we'll have to wait for the next season.
4. Again, it is unlikely that something will be shown. If only another seed for next season
5. Modern screenwriters don't owe anyone anything. They'll cut off the season in mid-sentence so that everyone can wait for the third one. Cliffhangers are in fashion today.
6. Most likely they'll get along with House and mess something up together.
7. No. In episode 6, young Betty was shown. Her wife, Cooper, asked her to find information about cold fusion.
8. Again, there are too many items for one series. They won 't really reveal or show you anything )
1. The final will not meet our expectations

pirates are doing the same thing. 1-2 days and spread out on the distribution.
I think everything will be fine tomorrow.
When they premiere at 21:00, it's already 5:00 a.m. in Moscow, so it turns out that they're 1 day late. TV series translations are being done very quickly now.
I've been writing to tech support for many years, they say they'll fix it, but the bug still exists.
24 comments at the time of writing mine. Let mine be cleaned up too. But why the fuck would people read it all later? I hope there won't be any more off-series comments after me. You just see so many comments, you think it means it's already out, you go to read the first reviews, and then: Garbage, garbage, garbage.
Then you won't have to follow the comments.
Everything is logical, as the series is released, in which time zone, and indicate.
Imagine, the whole country lives based on Moscow time.
You can also create your own time zones for other countries, but it's better to make a different time for each time zone.
In 2026, this is a primitive task for specialists.
I always laugh at such law enforcement officers who have been given a little bit of power (cons)
I bet 500 caps that the finale will be epic! Count it, losers.
throws a bunch of lids on the floor
Don't miss the post-credits scene
. P.S. don't miss the post-credits scene.
Something else is bad. Yes, geography is still everywhere, which is why it was painful to watch the battle with the Claws. Over and over again, familiar places are thrown in the background that shouldn't be this way, but the fans need to show something, right? And these are small things, because my main disappointment this season is something else.
In the murdered New Vegas. A whole city, alive and thriving. There are so many lives and ambitions that Bethesda is uncomfortable with, because they don't like Rebirth, they want to continue reducing the post-nuclear society to a bunch of bums. Yes, thank you for showing the streets and signs, but where are the families? Where is the life that was on these streets? But no, the Enclave aka Bethesda destroys everything that is not made by them, because it is more profitable to build a game on their own terms. But okay, this has already been said a hundred times without me.
Because the problem with the second season is that it feels like an interlude. The plot was very promising, but in the end it was all some kind of zilch.:
"Hank." Hank is merged as the boss of an ordinary dungeon, he played the role of a villain and was ignominiously killed, figuratively of course. His branch only led to the fact that there is a more sinister player. Honestly, it's kind of boring. Instead of a character with their own beliefs, they got only a pawn that does what they're told.
- Shelter 33/32. The whole season it played the role of a sidekick, interrupting what was happening with jokes about incest and the like, and in the end, as I understand it, it will simply be completely cut out by the Enclave troops who arrived.
- Managers from Shelter 31. Well, it's just a shameful drain. They wandered, wandered, and died. Yes, it is logical, yes, it is expected, but why their branch was needed, except as the reason for Norm's appearance on the surface, is not clear.
- Maximus. I sparked a civil war in the Brotherhood of Steel, thank you very much, half of Fol5 will obviously be about this, disgusting. I gave Cooper the McGuffin, which is why House is back with us. Thanks for that too. I got confused with the Claws before the arrival of the main forces of the NKR. Well.. Spectacular, well done. As a result, they will now cook with Lucy in Lucky 38 tower. But for what?
- Thaddeus. Turns into a centaur. What he did to deserve this, I don't understand.
"Lucy." She gets to know the wasteland, but in my opinion, her character doesn't develop in any way, continuing to play the warrior of light 50/50, and wander back and forth the rest of the time. Potentially merged, it seems to me.
- Cooper. The only character whose branch is still gorgeous. It's interesting to follow his experiences and development, but he has one big problem. He will be looking for a family for the third season. It's clear that he doesn't have any other motivations, but that's a bad thing. The screenwriter seems afraid to try to come up with a different motivation for him and therefore drives him back and forth.
And it's really sad, Cooper is an awesome character, and Goggins is an actor, and they deserve to be treated with more respect and a deeper story. In fact, he is and remains the main character of the series and the connecting link of every story.
Honestly, the second season is not bad, but it is weaker than the first and is marking time, afraid to raise the stakes (spam with the phrase "war has begun" does not count for raising the stakes, they are constantly at war somewhere). He introduces characters and new branches by dropping them. NCR, Legion, Super Mutants. Will they play on? I doubt.
He doesn't reveal the world. The Mojave wastelands are exactly the same homeless area as the wastelands of the first season. There is no development of the world, and New Vegas is just a decoration to amuse the ego or maybe to fuck with the fans. And, as I said before, it all feels like cleaning up the tails in order to make room for future Bethesda creations.
I really want to enjoy watching it, but apparently it's better not to know anything about the world of Fallout in order for the series to feel more interesting.
Colorado. It is ironically curious and interesting, as far as I know, these places have not been included in the games yet. It's clear that the global mix will be between the Brotherhood with their damn robot and the Enclave.
Lucy, Maximka and NKR will probably protect Vegas from the Legion, remaining on House's bail while Cooper searches for his family in the snowy expanses. I don't hope for a clear conclusion to the story, as long as they don't make it worse.
During the second season, they constantly jumped from plot to plot, eventually not really completing any of them, and now they plan to jump through several global stories altogether. It's kind of doubtful.
See you in a year?
Moreover, it turns out to be quite ironic. He became what he made of others.
I will disappoint you. It would have been better if they hadn't filmed such a second season. They made a huge pile without really explaining anything. If anything, my introduction to the universe is the first season of the series
So we are waiting for him.:
1. In TV series, suddenly the game mechanics don't work, it all looks ridiculous.
2. Who killed the last living cockroach in a closed room?
There is at least one more door in the canteen! ;-)
The cockroaches got drunk and crawled under the carpet to digest their food.
Or they went to drink.
Or they flew away through a broken window.
Or they crawled into the ventilation and other sewers.
Norman definitely crawled out from under the table when the rustling subsided. ;-)
Nevertheless, there was a feeling that much more emphasis was placed on fanservice - too many details, fractions, places were shown only in order not to play any really significant role.
Especially NCR and Legion - they appear and disappear only when the plot demands it. And especially the Legion - when the plot required them to fight, they fought, when the plot said enough was enough - they stopped, suddenly packed up and went to Vegas.
Imho they had to be left in a state of chaos - their story seemed to me instructive and comical exactly in the way that one would expect it from the fallout universe.
Maximus is still the most uninteresting of the main characters, if in the first season he was at least a little funny, then in the second he became as dull as possible, like his whole storyline, even his bro, who became a ghoul, and has a more interesting personality.
We revealed a lot of prehistory in the season through Hank's flashbacks, it was really good. I really look forward to the further expansion of the Institute's arch
I'm not arguing with anyone who hasn't enjoyed the season, I'm not trying to convince anyone, everyone had their own expectations and hopes)) But I'm thrilled with the acting and the characters; the pace of the narration (it wasn't boring at all with anyone's branch in any episode); the story at 33 and their brainless feast during the plague; and 32, where Chet finally grew balls; they showed a super mutant - and I kept waiting when he appears again to help Max during the fight with the Claws, but then I thought that why on earth would he help Max at all)) if anyone can help with his "us against them", it's probably the Claws)) The biggest surprise for me personally was how touched I was by the appearance of the NKR in the city. For me, this is an indicator of a high-quality scenario, when ENT was given little by little, on the sly - something will be said about them in passing, then they will be mentioned there - but there is always enough information to form a certain opinion about them and for their appearance - they are here! There are few of them, but they are HERE! - it had such a strong emotional effect on me))) In general, wow, great, gorgeous, I'm very happy with everything, I'm ready to wait for the third, fourth, and seventy-ninth seasons, if they're all like that)))
I was happy for Coop, if only because he really knows for the first time in 200 years that the series is alive. 🤞🏻 Because living in the unknown is hard and scary. I would like them to finally reunite next season.
But what I would NOT like is the love line of Max and Lucy. I don't know, I just don't want to be distracted by it...
The moment with NCR's shot at Slow Mo is great, and it will be interesting to see them and other new players in season 3. In the final, everything is as expected, but Staff surprised me.
I liked the whole main three this season, although Cooper stands out the most. Well, Thaddeus is very good. I hope there will be a continuation at least in the second half of 2027, and not later.
Zero chemistry is just anti-chemistry!
Maximus and Lucy will probably defend the city, although I would prefer that, at least, Lucy leave with Howard. Their interaction was always interesting. But apparently not, she and House will be together. However, I didn't really understand why House's signal was jumping and showing Signal Lost mixed with the face. Did Cooper just throw away the peep boy, and not take cold fusion, or did I miss something?
The line between Norma and Steph is still not completely clear, okay, Steph, sent the data to the Enclave, launched the second phase. Did Norm come to the surface to do something? He doesn't even know where Lucy is or what to do. Will he return to the shelter, and there everyone is killed by the Enclave or, even worse, turned into some kind of mutants?
Globally, of course, I wonder where everything will lead if the Wasteland has been an experiment all this time. What, then, can we expect in new Follach after an unknown number of years, a war between the Enclave and the Brotherhood? Although it's a bit unfortunate that the Gazebo is methodically trying to destroy humanity, reducing them to some kind of cavemen, removing all attempts to build a normal society.
With Caesar, it turned out as I thought, there is only one Caesar and the legion must end without him. Expected, to be honest.
Well, we'll wait, we'll watch the next season.
At least there definitely wasn't a scene where he takes Coldfugen away again.
The ghoul wants to find a family, but what's next? Will the three of them live happily in the desert and eat flea soup?
They show two camps of homeless people and 2.5 cripples left over from the NKR, then suddenly it turns out that they will also all fight for New Vegas. It's absurd.
And what kept such an army of claws in their pen? The series showed that they had no "programmed zone" and they stupidly did not want to break the dead door. This is nonsense.
There are also those people who are looking at the broken door and the crowd of claws ahead. And even then, they didn't rush off somewhere far away, but crowded into the nearest building. To make it easier for the claws to kill them 🤣
"....
"I'm betting he'll lose anyway!"
Well, the finale closes some arches, brings to the fore the "old new" enemies. In a way, Bati Lucy's ending is a happy one. I think it was the best option for him.
Hopefully, the Enclave will fully come into play in the third season.
So, where did Coop go? In Colorado? Their tandem with Lucy was great, I would have continued to look at it to be honest)
If Stephanie is Henk's wife, then who is Lucy's mother?
If Cooper was arrested, how was he with his daughter when the bombings started?
What does House's phrase mean, I'm not House?
@happyst: There is one unpleasant option about Thaddeus.
Thaddeus, as it seems to us, is infected with VRE, that is, the virus of man-made (one of the translations) evolution. The source of the appearance of some creatures in the wasteland, in particular super mutants and some ghouls, as well as centaurs (pictured). Apparently, Thaddeus is turning into this horror.
Wife, Mother. He could remarry after defrosting. Lucy's mother is Rose McLean, she was shown in the flashbacks of the first season, as well as at the Observatory, at the end of the season, in the form of a ghoul. The poisoning was probably caused by radioactive contamination after the explosion at Shady Sands.
I suspect that in the third season they will show us how he was released from arrest, after which he had to work as an animator, which was shown in the first season.
It's likely that he's an AI, not the original.
P.S. I feel stupid about this list, but I hope it helped :D
, unhappy game fans can go and cry somewhere out there, it doesn't matter)
Max is a handsome guy, he didn't piss off and took almost everyone away, especially the man with the anti-tank gun who saved him.
I'm sorry for Howard, I've been looking for my loved ones for 200 years and I'm already broke...
The ending leaves questions, it seems that the world of Fallout is much more cynical than it seems.
The Maximum-Lucy pair sucks completely, what a wooden and uninteresting character this Maximus is, Thaddeus is many times more interesting and lively, you worry more about him (his mutation into a centaur) than for this Maxim.
Cooper is good, the only interesting branch, the actor is good, lively and interesting. The only character who has a clear story arc, the search for a family. By the way, I wouldn't be surprised if my wife is at the Enclave headquarters.
The story arc of the Norm is absolutely zero, as if it were superfluous, the scene with the cockroaches is fucked up, but they didn't touch him and kindly left his potentially future girlfriend alive.
As for the shelters, the first part of the season was a passing one, but at the end we were intrigued. What is the second stage?
Overall not bad, but much weaker than the first one. The season is completely packed with fan service, in the second part it became at least a little interesting
The bad Enclave is to blame for everything. We need to start Liberty Prime again. Once again, the Enclave has a huge base after the destruction of their next last stronghold in the wasteland world. I was thinking in the right direction when in previous episodes I recalled the Enclave's experiments on death claws in Fallout 3. Then House confirmed that they had set the claws on the Strip. And I don't understand the ending of New Vegas, which is accepted as canon here. There was no congresswoman's head in Lucky 38 :)
Fallout again didn't really squeeze out the closing episode of the season, in the general calendar layer. The situation turned out well, the fanservice is chasing itself here.
Todd is in his repertoire:
F3 - "hello, son"
F4 - "hello, father"
The series - "hello, father" (although this branch has been completed), "Hello, Lucy" and there will be a continuation of the plot "hello, husband".
And the most curious thing is that this "hello, husband" is the only interesting thing in the second season. Everything else is so much about nothing.
No, it's great that people liked it, but still, I recommend at least watching some kind of igrofilm, or debriefing, since you don't play games. I understand perfectly well that not everyone has the desire, time and opportunity to get stuck into a huge rpg for a good 60 hours of passage.
Honestly. You'll be blown away by how seemingly three-dimensional dummies in a computer game can be written out and how interesting the plot and plot branches can be, clinging to each other and leading the narrative forward.
Overall, it's a nice picture (except for the claws of death, they're just flawed), a couple of interesting characters, and a couple of interesting "this is the twist" moments. It's peppered with logical holes, it's unclear why the necessary thread with the managers of volt-tech, merged with Hank, who turned out to be just a puppet of a greater evil in the form of an Enclave (let's say yes), degenerates from the legion jumping around Caesar's skeleton (no, they weren't very smart anyway, but there was a glimmer in their speeches logic. Strange, but still logical), the NCR, which were generally where they were all the time while the claws were harassing the strip behind the thin gates.
By the way, I didn't understand rofl with the death claws. So that you understand, these creatures are so tough that you have to use grenade launchers to kill them. And then Thaddeus hits him with some kind of incomprehensible rifle.
In any case. I'm curious to know which of the relatives we'll be looking for in F5, but I think I'll pass. Both with the series and with a potential fifth numbered game in the series.
Why did the Enclave control Volt Tech, which means the transfer of synthesis to House, but after receiving synthesis back, did not continue the deal?
Why was it necessary to refine the microchips and try to somehow "sell" them to House, despite the Enclave, working in parallel for him?
Many questions, few answers. Complicated
The main question that is gnawing at me is: why did these comrades from management freeze for 200 years, then to manage the vaults in the post-apocalypse and live in so-so conditions (especially to give birth to children there)? What was the point?
Maybe it was somehow explained in the games?
And in the arbor games, this is not explained in any way. It's just that there are control shelters, and there are those where everyone was initially doomed. So they wanted it to be more fun. After all, the apocalypse is so much fun, and people with healthy genetics and psyche can be safely disposed of in this way, but what?
Nevertheless, the original authors decided to add experiments to the second part. As a result, it turned out that the goal of the 13th was to keep the control group of people without radiation-affected genes. In the second part, another shelter appears, the eighth, but it has already been destroyed. Avellone said they were thinking of adding information about his appointment. It was the same as on the 13th - to keep a control group of people who were not exposed to radiation and viruses.
So the Gazebo just developed the original idea that was in Interplay games. Even the 31-32-33 managerial shelter from the TV series was in the game, in Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel. Another thing is that by adding experiments, the Gazebo did not explain "why it is." Well, I wanted to, well, it's fun. Now there's a chance that the series will tell you what it's all about.
P.S. It's amazing how that scientist from the first season was able not only to escape from the Enclave base in Colorado in the mountains, but also actually survive in these mountains, descending from them and reaching Southern California alive. But what am I talking about. There are already enough miraculous rescues in the series, etc. The scriptwriters don't even sweat it.
While watching the first season, I was sure that it went on for two days. Saved Lucy from radtarakan. I ate and threw away my robe at the cave of the radioactive bear. In the evening I reached Philly. :-(
Only I was super trained , I trained a lot with a toy rifle 🤣
okay, in F4 they remembered the LP for the second time, but in the series it will be the third time - yes, apparently, the alpha version, but is it really impossible to come up with something new, since you already rarely remember the game in full?)
I'm thinking, maybe Cooper is a tracing paper from 4 follies, where a parent is looking for a son? Maybe his daughter is some kind of granny thread at the head of the Enclave, which was unfrozen 70 years ago?
It's still a good thing, of course, Goggins is dragging the whole series on himself, as usual. Well, Ellochka is still my beauty. The maximum has become better than in the first season!
But the overall plot doesn't seem to have really moved. Well, Hank's line was closed, okay
Oh, was the super mutant just to give one of the dozens hints about the enclave in order to get out of the series later? I hope they will return at 3, otherwise it is really strange..
What the fuck is Liberty Prime, I'm still kicking it in the top three, and they're dragging me here
We are waiting for season 3! I wish it hadn't been two years...
But the fact that the super mutants were only touched by the edge is a shame.
The enclave is eternal.
And I repeat once again, the finale, the intensity of emotions, the walking, those looks, the incredible acting, and the finale, the finale with the card, "Colorado was a great idea," well, it's just an explosion
Long live the NKR!
I've always played for them in Fallout NV!
And I was thinking about "Myths of ancient Greece". David fought Goliath. Theseus has fought all kinds of people. And something like that.
A lone figure with a spear. :-(
I was waiting for them to show how Janie and Coop got separated during a nuclear strike. And why she and her mother were safe, but he had become a ghoul. Also, the question is, what is the second phase that Steph requested?!
It is expected, as previously reported, that the Cooper family will not be in cryocapsules. But according to the postcard, they're alive. I hope he finds them next season.
And now for the series. Yes, from the first season, I also got a little more bored. But everything is exactly fine. Let's see what they'll cook for us next with impatience)
that is, in the days before nuclear, when the nuclear threat towered over the whole world, while volt-tech thought they were the smartest, developed their bunkers and dreamed how cool they would hang out on the surface after the destruction of mankind, at this time has the government been doing the same thing for about the same time?
Did Volt-tech buy synthesis from the university where Moldaver worked, and then they wanted to sell it to house in exchange for his resources? but all this time, Hank was working undercover there, who actually works for the government (enclave)? Howard thought he had stolen it from volt-tech, thereby thwarting their deal with house and thus allegedly prevented the strikes that volt-tech wanted to strike first, but in fact did what was planned, because Hank originally wanted to transfer synthesis to the government?
it turns out that the government initially planned to "push the button" because of their interests?
It's strange that they waited 200 years to move on to the second phase, the cleanup of shelters. Am I right in understanding that Hank stayed there undercover and one day had to clean up the competition by spraying the virus?
I'm not playing games, I'm trying to figure out the plot.
I have almost the same opinion.
Only. It looks like career scientist Hank McLean's resumes were sent to everyone at once. ;-)
There should be a picture here:
S01E05 00:19:10 "Hank McLean was elected caretaker from 31 to 33. 2271 - 2297."
It turns out that Hank has been in Shelter No. 33 for 26 years! And here's the question. If Moldiver hadn't kidnapped him. If only our super Ghoul wasn't on our heels. If only daughter Lucy hadn't kicked up...
Maybe he didn't take up the topic of chips and work in Las Vegas?
He's already been out on a hurricane on the surface. When he burned down Sheldy Saints! And he came back with the kids. :-0
/// for the second phase – clearing shelters///
In the First season, it was clear that Shelters 33 and 32 were a talent pool. There are always as many people of the right quality at hand.
The second season suggests the idea of a reserve, then a reserve. But which one? It looks like they're a stock of heads for bio-computers, like that congresswoman!!!
Hank: "Good-natured, sweet, not dangerous."
What a mess. :-(
It's a pity that we followed the path of the fourth folk, the path of colorful lightheartedness, thrash comedy, and absurdity. The universe has a deep and well-developed ENT, and there is a huge variability in the justification of any plot twists and turns due to cryocapsules and radiation (consider magic). I wish I could see more thrillery, more seriousness, more drama, but with this kind of presentation, you don't even get into anyone. I would like to see the similarity of Pine Trees or the Wild West, damn, because all these shelters are such a huge springboard for really interesting stories and their forks, but no, we'll kill 20 people with cockroaches... after all, it's necessary to finally put them in the series so that gamers will be happy.
Only one eye remains, and the rest can not even be shown anymore.
The first season of the series was normal because it wasn't filmed in Vegas.
The second season is some kind of trash with fictional neurochips and batey.
I'm glad that he and Lucy finally met again. Lucy's father is a little sorry that he erased his memory, but apparently there weren't many options.
Cooper's family is also a predictable scam, although maybe they really are in some other place.
Cockroaches are also powerful, and this weirdo is very lucky that he wasn't eaten. Although I didn't understand how Claudia miraculously managed to survive, she seemed to have been bitten by the very first...
Legionnaires with Caesars were actually some kind of morons, it was quite possible to do without them.
Overall, the season finale is very emotional and intriguing. Steph has also launched some kind of phase 2, I wonder what will happen there. They left a good lead for season 3, and even managed to interest me, even though I've never played these games)
The enclave is there, as I understand it, like some kind of government organization or something. It's interesting, let's see what else they do.
Knight Titus - escaped. But Knight Maximus is not! A heroic storyline! :-)
I thought Coop's family wasn't there. Wangyu will meet his daughter already grown up and most likely will not recognize her. And the wife is either already in old age, or already in the next world.
If you perceive it as a light three-piece in a bright gazebo style, it's normal.
If you look at it from the standpoint of the HB, the general canon and common sense, it's a choice cringe and a hodgepodge of everything without any clear idea. There's a fanservice on the links, and next to it is a complete game that breaks the canon.
And don't miss the post-credits scene!
Howard. Howard doesn't change
The first season was one of the best series of 2024 for me. It was literally watched in just a couple of nights at the time of the premiere. It felt like all the creators had done their best, as they needed to sell the show to the audience.
The second one turned out to be weaker than the first, as if the scriptwriters found themselves in a comfort zone after the extension to the third and relaxed. It still turned out good, but not great. I've lost some inner tension when I'm waiting for the next second, and at the end of each episode I just ask, "Is that all?!", glance at the clock and then I'm like, "okay, I'll sleep it off later, we'll look further" (haha, you'll sleep it off, yeah).
But nevertheless, every episode was expected, and after the release, the hand kept reaching for F5 to check if it was available for viewing or (not yet) not.
It's an interesting moment for me. In the second season, the flashbacks turned out to be more interesting than the events taking place in the present. They are somehow more beautiful, richer, and just more exciting. Perhaps, of course, it's about Goggins and McLachlan, perhaps it's that each scene is like a piece of a puzzle, or maybe there just wasn't enough spirit of discovery and adventure in the Wasteland.
Let's see what happens next.
(1/2) >>>>>
Maximus is still the most boring of the three central characters. I don't know if it's the actor or the scriptwriters, but there's a sense of tightness in the image, as if they're afraid to give it a hard time or reward it with a little pinch of madness.
Lucy grows up and begins to understand the rules of the world around her. We are waiting for new addictions, meetings with my brother and Cooper. And of course, the new "oki-doki" \"okay"\"a variant from your favorite translation."
Cooper is Cooper. Hank is Hank. Even if everything in the series was really bad, they would still continue to watch it for them, and no need to say that this is not the case.
We are waiting for the development of the branches of Norma, Steph and Thaddeus. I hope they don't merge them.
Also, give the characters of Emerson and Perlman more time, don't be greedy and don't spare the sandwiches for this, please the grandfathers.
In general, it turns out something like this.
The first season is a volley from all barrels.
The second season is a neat and safe prologue to the next one.
I hope that the third one will be cool and will return to its roots.
PS I have an opinion that if an adaptation (or a work based on motives) at least it makes you want to get to know the universe and/or the original source, then it was a success. I've been planning to go through both the classics and the new parts normally for a long time. It seems that the moment has come, and the series has become the catalyst for this.
Maybe a couple of words wouldn't fit in one comment. It happens, yes.
We are waiting for the third season, and I would probably like a new folych toy.
After Marvel, I always skip to the end out of habit.
And what a wonderful soundtrack in the second season!
One thing I didn't understand, so the intrigue was that the enclave was to blame for everything? It's like the remnants of the ENT government, right?
And how was the actor playing Norman pumped up? / Nose/ Snorkel! And all for the sake of taking off your jacket at S02E01 00:45:35!!! ))))
In general, we are waiting for the climax in season 3 again.
But the atmosphere of the whole series is wonderful, it looks in one go.
I really liked the scene with Lucy, her father and Howard. In fact, she lost the figure of her own father, but gained a new one in the person of a ghoul. He clearly treats her like a father. He's been grieving for his family for 200 years, and now there's a girl like that, a girl who craves care and attention, which is logical enough, even though he suppresses human feelings and compassion, but his thirst for a family is stronger
Now I'm looking forward to the third one.
A couple of months ago, Jonathan Nolan (Christopher's brother) said that he expects to start filming the third season in the summer, and complained about the current situation on TV. They say that the seasons are coming out with a longer and longer gap, usually now two years between seasons is a normal practice, but he would like to keep up the pace and return to the screens as soon as possible.
I fully support him. So I have a question. What the fuck? If you're annoyed by this situation yourself, what exactly have you been doing these two years? My wife was the first to suspect something was wrong. I held on to the last, rejected reality and hoped that it was about to be interesting. Well, in the next episode. Well, it's already the middle - the authors have reminded us what happened, and now the movement will begin. Well, that leaves the final quarter - now there's a lot of twists and turns and action from the heart. The movement has not started. They didn't pile turns (they piled another one and, rather, into the soul). The action was not delivered.
You know, I wouldn't even be outraged if there was a season... Well, there are 20 episodes. And eight of them would be of this quality. Yes, I'd give every single episode an A, if only I knew... Seriously, for all the claims about "Heroes", "Escape", "Stay Alive" - the authors of those series managed to keep the viewer in check for almost nine months (they went on a break in the summer). Here you've squeezed out a fart for 8 filler episodes. An absolutely passing season that brought nothing.
Is this the promised and expected Vegas for two years (so you've been leading heroes for half a season before)? One and a half locations and poorly drawn monsters? Is this the Legion? Is this Macaulay Culkin, who was trumpeted on every corner? Yes, it looks good, but it lasts for the whole season for five minutes. I'm not kidding. Why all these interrogations of journalists: "Have you played Fallout? No? Oh, have you watched a lot of reviews and walkthroughs and are you aware of Laura?! What a good fellow you are!" It's just ridiculous. Culkin was required to have absolutely no knowledge of the material. It's more of a cameo (hi, Ron Perlman as a super mutant, by the way) than even a supporting role.
You yourself, in promotional materials, merge information about one character that could be suitable for at least a twist. But then again, in two years you'll either forget what kind of character he is, or you won't care who actually plays him in the second season. And I'm sorry, they didn't deliver anything else.
From the action for the whole season, three scenes with a bullet flying in slow motion? Kla-a-a-a-S. A one-minute shootout with the Elvises? And so they were promoted, they say, here's another faction, we took it from the game and came up with this! You didn't come up with a damn thing.
Yes, it's still funny (the "Yes, she's Canadian!" scene is my favorite). Yes, the production is still good. Yes, the actors are still not annoying and are trying (special thanks to dear Agent Cooper. Without Kyle, our McLachlan would have been much worse). Therefore, the score will not be too low. But the action slows down both in modern times and in flashbacks - and after all, the Ghoul/Howard line was the most exciting. What have you been doing for two years? Did you write these screenplay masterpieces?
I have Vietnamese flashbacks, which naturally repeats the situation with another multi-part project by Jonathan Nolan, The World of the Wild West. It also had a great start, then Nolan leaked the second season, and then he got carried away with the production of "Fallout", and he didn't give a damn about the project. Now Nolan has found Wolfenstein for himself, and is adapting this iconic shooter, but he obviously doesn't give a damn about Fallout.
rating: 3 spirits of Anchorage out of 5
I'm not much of a lorologist. I played 1 time in folych 2, 3 New Vegas and 4
There are still 8 episodes with an increase in the concentration of what is happening, then it would all be in the middle, and according to the classics, the plot is sagging in the middle. But when there is such a time gap between the seasons, I think sagging is not acceptable.
about Cooper's wife saying they'd be the first to drop the bomb... And in general, they immediately began to earn money on the upcoming nuclear war, selling shelters and VIP cards... Oh, the horror. Humans are scary creatures!..
I didn't understand a lot of things. But overall it was fun. It's worth revisiting to get a better understanding.
I didn't understand where the cockroaches had disappeared from the closed room)) Kyle and Walton have so far held the bar above all the actors in this series.
and an unrelated comment- to be honest, it's annoying to take such a break between seasons because it completely forgets what happened before...
What prevented my wife from leaving this postcard, for example, 100 years ago?
