One thing I found very interesting from the first positive moment between CX404 (Dogmeat) and Coop was that he calls her a boy, where the audience has already established that she's a girl dog in the scenes before Wilzig escaped from the Enclave compound. At first I figured it was just that he didn't care enough to check, she was just there to track Wilzig, but once Roosevelt was introduced it struck me that even when he tries to forge a disconnect between her and Roosevelt, he never let go of him and attributes other dogs to him even if only subconsciously.
I can never bring myself to keep Dogmeat as my companion in FO4 because his injury noises upset me too much in combat, but that cute little German Shep is the heart and soul of whichever settlement i send him to ❤
He keeps getting me killed, lol. Super mutant suicider is charging, I go to backpedal through the door I just walked through to buy just enough time to kill the mutant--Dogmeat is there, in the way, not moving an inch. BOOM. Wake up several hours earlier because I only play on survival, lol. That, and he isn't afraid of heights, nor falling from them apparently, haha. One of the mods I have came with a bunch of posters, one of which was a propaganda poster about watching for "suicidal" behaviors in your dog, and it goes on to list everything that Dogmeat does (like charging at super mutants, jumping off of tall buildings, and so on). The very bottom says something like "Brought to you by the NO DOGMEAT NOOOOO Society". My companion is a walking dumpster hauling garbage necessary for rebuilding society, and Dogmeat is a walking food pantry / drug dealer with a death wish lol
Dogmeat isn't ghoulified. The medicine the Ghoul gives him isn't one of his own meds, nor the 'miracle drug' that Thaddeus gets later, it's a stimpack - the standard universal "healing potion" from the games, that can set right everything from bruises to broken bones (at least at standard difficulty levels).
I just got a dog. It was life changing. I delt with alot of personal trauma and I was losing my optimism in life. One day my brother dropped a puppy off because he didn't want to leave it on the streets for an upcoming winter. I took him in and though he was frustrating at first, i think the challenge of training kept me destrated from my loneliness and deep depression. My dog is super sweet and people are surprised despite his large size he is a sweetheart. Even funnier when people describe me as a really serious person. This dog forces me to go out into nature. Meet new people. Distract me when I am down. And even if I have the worst day, he would tackle me to just piss me off 😅. He is my unlicensed therapy dog and my best friend.
I think we should also discuss how the "kick the dog" trope can give insight to The Ghoul's psychology. Harming an animal is usually a visual shorthand in movies to show who is a straight up bad guy, but it's not always cut and dry. Like here we have The Ghoul stabbing the dog, but then also healing it and letting it tag along afterwards. Like his euthanisation and cannibalisation of Roger, The Ghoul's conflicting actions indicate a more complicated sense of morality - the morality of a hardened survivor.
I’ve always kind of thought of Dogmeat as the Fallout universe’s version of the Avatar. Always reborn to help bring a little balance back to the world by helping the protagonists (players) with their missions.
A neat detail I’ve noticed is that his affinity for animals is displayed when we first see him as a ghoul. In the scene where he is dug up by those bounty hunters, he stops to pet a chicken.
I get that. I prefer animals over humans. And he was just playing around with those bounty hunters when he looked at the chicken and picked it up. You can see the body language on his face when he did that. He probably overheard them talking about how ferels will go after a chicken nonsense
@@wtimmins Not really. Cooper was literally starving when he was dug out of the ground so his first thought when seeing a chicken was dinner. But the combo of chickens being the litmus test for ghouls sanity and his own affection for animals meant that he took a moment to collect himself. After which he eliminated the people wanted to use him and went on his own way.
@@grantpflum6844not onpy that. It is stated that ghoul is cannibal. So he probably considered eating that chicken at first, but thought to himself that those fresh corpses will do
It's really interesting to me that two of the three times Cooper drops the cowboy accent are when he rescues Dogmeat from the cooler and when he says she's not Roosevelt. I think the last one is when he asks Lucy if she's coming with him to find her dad.
My dad was born in the country side of pernambuco Brazil, saw lot of man die because of crime, drunk driving and family disputes, one of this mans was my uncle who died because of a drunk man who killed him in a car accident in the road, my dad was the first one to show up because my uncle was able to call him before he died do to his injuries, when he reached him he was dead, my father was not himself for years, but all changed when I got a pitbull puppy in a bet, man that dog made his mourning a lot easier we named him Catito (is a type of rat here in Brazil), everyday in that time i wondered what could have happened if a had lost the bet, dogs are a real medicine for depression, today Catito is a old fat dog with 13 years and my dad is a happy old man now no beast of war can separate them. It was a long commentary but i think this story deserves to be passed down, love you videos with all my heart madam, keep up the good stuff, much love and appreciation.
I’m so glad your dad found some healing in that pup, dogs really can be so incredible for healing a person’s wounds. That sort of deep and unconditional love and positive regard is hard to find anywhere else! I’m happy to hear they’re both doing well and I hope they have many more lovely years together, that really is a beautiful story.
Dogmeat is best companion, no you can't change my mind. Also that song at the end just fits so perfectly: he does indeed have his "echo" (Dogmeat a.k.a. replacement Roosevelt / morality pet) and "shadow" (Lucy as his foil-turned-friend) with him.
Dunno, might switch lucy around as the echo. Further distant than a shadow, a distorted version of your past self. Your shadow is literally right alongside you at all times, after all, and a good pupper is doing exactly that. And if you go by musical cues and timing... Lucy appears in the shot, just as the ghoul and 404 are about to leave the shot
I lost my kitty two years ago after a life with her for 18 years. I had a cat before her for just as long, and after losing my first cat, opening up to the second one was difficult cuz I didn’t want to feel so much for another pet that I’d eventually lose. Both losses gutted me. They really become a beloved family member. I can totally relate to the Ghoul’s reluctance to get close to Dogmeat.
I lost my cat last year at the age of 17 having had her from a newborn. I've not felt the same since like a little bit is missing. As soon as I watch anything like this about animal connection it makes me tear up. The Ghoul and dogmeat are my favourite part of the show. Dogmeat is that part of himself he's lost.
I mean...that's just how it works with dogs, or any pet in general? It ain't your seat, it's the pet's. If you ain't ready to deal with that, you ain't ready for a pet 😅 Source: growing up my family always had a dog.
One moment between Cooper and Roosevelt that I loved was just as Coop was about to head down to the wrap party for the Vault-Tec advertisement. I forget the exact wording but Cooper expresses his distain for the event and mentions something about 'heading into enemy territory'. He's clearly uncomfortable and he stated that he just wanted a quiet night at home with his family, but he's being pushed to 'perform' the role of gracious host to a bunch of people that he clearly doesn't like and who only see his as a commodity to sell their product. When his wife (y'know the woman he loves, his life partner, the one person you'd expect him to be completely honest with) told him about the party he kinda just went along with what she wanted to make her happy. He always does what is expected of him, by his wife, his daughter, at work, by Vault-Tec, by the government and the military in the past. And in that moment it's like Roosevelt is the only creature on the planet that Cooper can be truly honest with and that's so sweet (because dog's are awesome) but also really sad for Cooper.
"They don't allow dogs in the vault? Who makes the rules?" Quite subtle. Then he says to Dogmeat "You're not him" talking about Roosevelt. One of the saddest parts of the show.
The movie in our universe was " a boy and his dog" it was a predecessor for fallout, where a boy and a dog have a psychic connection in a post apocalypse. The name Dogmeat also comes from the movie
@damianstarks3338 the first time I watched the show and saw the ghoul, I was like " YES THIS THIS CHARACTER IVE PLAYED THIS CHARACTER IN EVERY GAME" also a little nod to new vegas the ghoul I think is the only on who uses different ammo types just like in New vegas. Power armour is useless when you've got 50 cal exploding rounds being thrown at you. Also doesn't help that I have basically the same coat and hat. My young son saw some of fallout and looked at me one day and said dad your the ghoul!!! "You saying I gotta face like shoe leather kid?" LOL I take it as a compliment since the ghouls possible one of the best fallout characters ever written. He's right up there with Randell Clark
Another thing that many people miss (and will only catch upon like an umpteenth rewatch *ahem* me *ahem*) is how Cooper reverts back to his normal accent around Dogmeat. I can't wait for more moments like that in s2!
Fun fact about the fallout series. Dogmeat’s names come from the Film A Boy and his Dog which takes place in 2024 after a nuclear apocalypse. The duo are Vick and Blood who are telepathic linked Man and Dog though Vick is only 18. Vick calls blood dogmeat after one of their many arguments throughout the film.
I remember that movie. Lots of similarities to the Fallout universe. They even have an underground society. They really thought hard on how a human would be if most of the rules of morality were out the window when it came to Vick. He is highly animalistic in nature.
@@GeorgiaDow love your content. I would highly recommend A Boy and his Dog 1975. You can find the whole thing free on RUclips. Though I warn you it is not for the faint of heart. The ending in my opinion is equally beautiful as it is horrific.
@@Jesses001 That’s one of my most favorite aspects of the film. Because it’s ironic with Vick and Bloods relationship. Vick is a savage more animal than man while Blood is highly intelligent and corrects Vick on things such as grammar and is basically Vick’s teacher such as teaching Vick the presidents.
@@milomarkovic9549 Yes the irony of the situation was not lost on me. I guess being a hyper-intelligent conditionally immortal dog would cause him to depart from "dog" morality quite a bit though.
Brilliant! This wasn’t something i thought too much about when watching the show but it works so well. Cooper regaining his humanity through Dogmeat great way to link his former and current selves. Please do a video on Lucy! 🙏
I like to think that Dogmeat became a popular name for dogs in the wasteland because even after all this time people recognized the importance of the name. Why they know it's important might be a distant memory, they just know it's significance; it's like why we would name dogs Fido or Rex, we might not know why these names are important, we just know they're good names for dogs. From the Vault Dweller of Vault 13 and their grandson the Chosen One of Arroyo Village, to the Lone Wanderer of Vault 101, to the Sole Survivor of Vault 111. Legends of these people spread across the wastes, some more amazing and harder to believe than the last, with friendly super mutants or talking deathclaws, with alien ray guns or a simple hunting rifle, regardless of the details, with them there were dogs named Dogmeat.
Mild contradiction: Dogs are the loving creatures that humans CAN be; not so much the best friends, but the ideals of friendship. Cats are backstabbing arselochs that people wind up being. I prefer cats, but love them like dogs love people.
So glad you are covering Fallout. The game franchise fell between the cracks for me, but I knew enough about the plot/synopsis of what the world of Fallout is like. I absolutely loved how this series was acted, shot, and written. Something I also liked is how the three main characters, Lucy, Maximus, and The Ghoul/Cooper Howard, are much more fully fleshed out as actual believable, complicated characters as opposed to just being archetypes of the usual trios we've seen in previous works. Lastly, I was also surprised how much I liked Norm's side plot and how it shows the virtues of bravery and courage.
I dare to say that his time as a soldier defenly made the Ghoul even before the bombs dislke autority and politics. You can see his distan for the vaultec guys and their happy go by way of promissing the future...

2:19 I swear to Geebz! I watched the show 8 times over, never took note of the poster 😮🤔 Waiting for when The Ghoul was gonna get analyzed next 😆 Walton Goggins' Awesome in my book 👍🏽🤠🧟♂️
My family has always had dogs, to the point where my younger sibling is currently best friends with a particularly hyperactive collie (who would probably be a good apocalypse buddy if it came to it). So Dogmeat, in their various incarnations (as well as any other canine buddies you come across in the wasteland), have always been my favourite parts of the Fallout games, and this new version in the show is no different. It feels... right somehow, having a lil furry friend to keep me company in game, just like I always had as a kid/teen. Gotta love the puppers. Humanity doesn't deserve dogs. Also, Georgia, your own dog is adorable! ❤
Georgia I think you should do a video on maximus.. I know you're probably moving to other things but I think he has a very interesting character. You see when we were being told that this show was going to be made the three characters represent the three karma choices in fallout The Good the neutral and the evil. After watching the show it's really kind of hard to feel that these three characters represent those good choices because lines get blurred like whenever you do play fall out everything's not so simply good evil or neutral. I truly do think that Maximus is a good example of just the lines getting blurred because if you do not know this. A lot of people from pre-war were very very capitalistic to the point where the little guy or the middle class was severely severely abused in terms of physical mental and spiritual means this is an example found throughout all of the fallout games. And I say spiritual means because if you want to look it up and fallout 76 there is a location called the Palace of the winding path. It is a great example of how people were manipulated and abused in terms of spiritual means. but sorry, was rambling and rambling...... It is my ADHD but as I was saying earlier I think it'd be a very good video, to do one on Maximus.
The man and his dog. Was also a callout to the movie a boy and his dog. A post apocalyptic world. (Bombs dropped) and its this teen and his dog who has a device to allow it to talk. At the end he values the dogs life over human life. With a quip and a joke.
Never heard "pack salt", always heard "pound sand", or even "pound sand down a rathole". Now I have an interesting new phrase to look up the etymology of.
Another great video! The Ghoul is definitely my favorite character, and I have some unresolved questions about him. Like what exactly is the medicine that the live women were being held hostage for to create that he was topping up on. Perhaps its some hormone that keeps that sanity going, keeps you enough "alive" so as to not go feral? Also I don't think Snake Oil Salesman ghoulified Thaddeus, I think it might well have been an FEV sample? It's also definitely Chekov's Stimpack being used in the fallout, heh, of the Filly battle. Not whatever anti-feral meds the Ghoul was taking and had to replace.
Cowboy outfit back let’s gooooooo, just looks badass Fantastic video, I found it nice to have Dogmeat be a more emotionally significant presence than just a reference to the games, to be this bridge between who cooper was and who he became. Thank you for shedding light on the more nuanced aspects of characters and writing
@@GeorgiaDow - in my experience playing Fallout 4, I use an order of magnitude more stimpacks on Dogmeat than myself. Furry little disaster magnet, I swear, but invaluable.
I think we will get a flashback of probably Roosevelt surviving the blast with Cooper. But probably dies from either radiation or through raider attacks. And it's death would be the last bit of humanity that he loses until dogmeat comes into play.
This was great as always. Just one side note: another person also mentioned it. Dogmeat is not a Ghoul. He was still alive when Cooper decided to help him. You could here a little wimpy sound from him, when cooper looks around. And he just got a normal stimpack. So he was just healed 😊 love the video anyway. I think, a soft spot for animals in Cooper was shown early on, in the scene with the chicken. He just cuddles it and at the end it was the only person left alive 😂
Coopers attitude is also from his experience as a veteran. He's had to follow rules and orders that seemed or were arbitrary and it got people hurt or killed. As a vet myself I sympathize a lot with cooper even if ive never fought because i can still relate with the dislike of rules that are arbitrary.
“She’s reading little house on the prairie to Rosevelt” “Ah. Does he like it?” I love it😂 he doesn’t go “why?” Or “how is her reading?” He knows she’s doing her best and having fun. The only pressing question left is “how does Rosevelt like the story?”😂
"I'm sorry, Dogmeat, but you're not him" 😭😭😭 The most painful line in the whole series. The ghoul is such a complex character, I'm glad his human side is still there. Not gonna lie, when he stabbed the dog I lost all trust in his character, but he redeemed himself very quickly and now he has the best companion to go on.
One of the things that l liked about Dogmeat in Fallout 4 is that he is amoral. He will continue to be your companion no matter what choices you make. Using Dogmeat as a plot device to represent a conscience works well in the show but I don't like to think of him that way in the game.
Now that I think about it, have you ever considered analysing game characters ? There are alot of cool game series that feature well written characters. My personnal recommandation would be the Life is Strange series (I think you'd love it). Love your videos, cheers from France !
Humans have had a special relationship with dogs for a long time now. Even bad people often find it hard to harm dogs. Hitler was even kind to dogs. It takes a special type of mentally broken to want to harm a dog, a type of mentally broken you are far more qualified to know about than I.
At about 9:38, Cooper is also dressed, and has his hair groomed, very much like Number Six from The Prisoner. Number Six also lived in a world where he had no control, and anonymous others told him what the rules were going to be. And he also took action against it.
I just had a series of dreams a few days ago that are eerily similar to the remake, but I've never heard of the series until I read your comment...am I losing my mind?
So, 4, or CX-404, is not Dogmeat. Dogmeat is from Fallout 1 and had a cameo in Fallout 2. A dog they called Dogmeat was in Fallout 3, and the dog in Fallout 4 was called Dog. Cooper as The Ghoul calls 4 Dogmeat as an ode to Ghouls eating animals; "you're not him, dogmeat". He's calling the dog what it is, dog meat, to try and still distance himself from accepting his humanity again.
Currently playing through FO4 and the dog IS named Dogmeat and is even referenced to as “Dogmeat” by other companions like Nick (when you’re tracking Kellogg), but I personally speculate that it could just be a pretty common nickname for dogs in that world Edit: I just remembered that you don’t INITIALLY get the name Dogmeat for the dog; he’s simply introduced as “dog” when you meet him at the Red Rocket and the actual name pops up later, so that might be the reason it’s a lil confusing!
I'm dreading finding out what happens to Roosevelt. Maybe there was a dog friendly vault. Edit: I didn't catch the part about Dogmeat being part ghoul :o probably need a rewatch 😊
Dogmeat isn't actually a ghoul, aka "skin melted and scarred, and turned biologically immortal". Dogmeat is, however "resurrected" (healed by a stimpak) from what should have killed him, while The Ghoul was "resurrected" (ghoulified by radiation) from what should have killed him.
I’d also like to request #Theowlhouse #TheGhostAndMollyMcGee #MoonGirlAndDevilDinosaur #InsideJob #ScottPilgrimTakesOff #StarTrekLowerDecks #HaileysOnIt
I love the reference to Harlan Ellison’s classic novella “A Boy and his Dog:” the story of Vic and his telepathic dog Blood, whom Ellison based on his beloved pupper Abu.
At this point, if someone asks me if a show is any good, I can pretty much just tell them that Georgia Dow is analyzing it, so, yes. 😁 If nothing else, it means they have compelling characters at the very least. Be it Arcane, Wednesday, Cyberpunk Edgerunners or Blue Eye Samurai to name a few. Heck, I don't even watch much TV/Streaming but I feel somewhat vindicated in that the few shows I do watch have been worthy of your analysis. Thanks! Also, what breed is the dog? I'm getting Belgian Malinois vibes.
“I’m sorry dogmeat but you ain’t him” that line broke me. Sometimes acquiring a new pet after your old one dies is a weird feeling. You feel a since a betrayal to your old dog but also joy for having a furry friend again. It’s bittersweet. 😢
Stimpacks don't cause goulification. They are just a macguffin from the game to allow healing of an injured character to allow you to keep playing uninhibbited. In the show they serve the same purpose, which you see when Lucy 'goosey' McLain injects herself with a stimpack after being stabbed and then she is instantly able to go into the main part of the vault to help fight the raiders. So Dogmeat isn't a ghoul, he/she is still just a regular dog ... unless the Enclave scientist did something after rescuing Dogmeat from being thrown into the furnace.
It would be cool to see you deal with the psychology seen in some of the games. One of the most memorable side quests called "I don't hurt anymore" is about convincing a victim of assault to seek a psychologists help. There's another in the same game where you have to help a race of super mutants with the schizophrenia they have a predisposition for
"sorry dogmeat... but you aint him" i have had many dogs, and i have loved them, but god... that one dog... there is always that one dog that is just special to you... and i feel that line deep into my soul
I notice you skipped over the part where, after using Lucy as bait to lure the gulper, the Ghoul abandoned Dogmeat by the river and left to get his medicine with just Lucy in tow. I think that confirmed that at that point, Dogmeat was just a tool, and he was a tool the Ghoul didn't need any longer. (And he only took Lucy because he needed to sell her to get the medicine.)
I am very curious as I have watched a few of your videos and wonder if you will take a look at "Interveiw with the vampire" TV show. And Analyse Lestat?
First off I want to say I enjoy your videos and your thoughts/opinions and power of observation. There is one point here that I feel ypu missed, though were close to. You mention his questioning coming from being used to having power and also from being told to do things he did not want to do (reffering to the acting scene). However he on several occasions mentions his time in the army and in the war. He talks of the poor decisions people in power made that got a lot of his friends killed. They even sent them to battle in power armour with a weak spot in the front. That makes a huge impression on people. For example I had commanders make terrible choices that put my life and the lives of those I was responcible for needlesly at risk (likely did not help that I had a birthday over seas putting me at the same age my mother was when she died at her job). This lack of thinking about safety has made me a lot more safety foccused in civi side and unwilling to assume work has a good solution. I ask a lot more questions about their safety plans as I do not trust they have thought it through (most safety plans are reactionary, but I have no intention of bevoming the incident that causes a safety plan because some one in a tie did not think it through). Similarily he does not trust that Vault-Tec is making choices that are wise and for the good of those at the bottom.
It was so difficult for me to watch the Ghoul and Dogmeat parts of the show. It reminds me so much of my dog who died a few years back. I don’t ever want to get attached to another dog because I don’t want to feel that sense of loss ever again. I guess I can understand how Cooper feels and I’m sure in a similar situation I’d probably fall for another dog too, even if I really don’t want to right now.
“A Man and His Dog” is also a reference to “A Boy and His Dog,” which is a IRL movie that heavily inspired the game Fallout.
thank you for this great info
Based on a Harlan Ellison story, the movie was campy and violent and cynical, Perfect for 1975.
@@throwabrick I didn’t realize the movie was based on a story. I’ll have to check that out

Dogmeat isn't a Ghoul, she just had a Stimpack used on her to heal her wound, the same thing Lucy used in the vault in ep 1

My dad was born in the country side of pernambuco Brazil, saw lot of man die because of crime, drunk driving and family disputes, one of this mans was my uncle who died because of a drunk man who killed him in a car accident in the road, my dad was the first one to show up because my uncle was able to call him before he died do to his injuries, when he reached him he was dead, my father was not himself for years, but all changed when I got a pitbull puppy in a bet, man that dog made his mourning a lot easier we named him Catito (is a type of rat here in Brazil), everyday in that time i wondered what could have happened if a had lost the bet, dogs are a real medicine for depression, today Catito is a old fat dog with 13 years and my dad is a happy old man now no beast of war can separate them.
It was a long commentary but i think this story deserves to be passed down, love you videos with all my heart madam, keep up the good stuff, much love and appreciation.
I’m so glad your dad found some healing in that pup, dogs really can be so incredible for healing a person’s wounds. That sort of deep and unconditional love and positive regard is hard to find anywhere else! I’m happy to hear they’re both doing well and I hope they have many more lovely years together, that really is a beautiful story.
Dogmeat is best companion, no you can't change my mind.
Also that song at the end just fits so perfectly: he does indeed have his "echo" (Dogmeat a.k.a. replacement Roosevelt / morality pet) and "shadow" (Lucy as his foil-turned-friend) with him.
It really is and I am with you on dogmeat He came to the rescue a few time ... unsung hero for sure
Dunno, might switch lucy around as the echo. Further distant than a shadow, a distorted version of your past self. Your shadow is literally right alongside you at all times, after all, and a good pupper is doing exactly that. And if you go by musical cues and timing... Lucy appears in the shot, just as the ghoul and 404 are about to leave the shot
I lost my kitty two years ago after a life with her for 18 years. I had a cat before her for just as long, and after losing my first cat, opening up to the second one was difficult cuz I didn’t want to feel so much for another pet that I’d eventually lose. Both losses gutted me. They really become a beloved family member. I can totally relate to the Ghoul’s reluctance to get close to Dogmeat.
So sorry about your loss I hope you find another fluff Luv when you are ready
I lost my cat last year at the age of 17 having had her from a newborn. I've not felt the same since like a little bit is missing. As soon as I watch anything like this about animal connection it makes me tear up. The Ghoul and dogmeat are my favourite part of the show. Dogmeat is that part of himself he's lost.
Why did you get a second cat then?
7:20 Talking about positioning, I like it how Coop is sat off to the side of the sofa, giving Roosevelt free reign over the rest.
I mean...that's just how it works with dogs, or any pet in general? It ain't your seat, it's the pet's. If you ain't ready to deal with that, you ain't ready for a pet 😅
Source: growing up my family always had a dog.
@@KalebCorvid When they share the bed is when you know you've truly lost. Cats & dogs😂
One moment between Cooper and Roosevelt that I loved was just as Coop was about to head down to the wrap party for the Vault-Tec advertisement. I forget the exact wording but Cooper expresses his distain for the event and mentions something about 'heading into enemy territory'. He's clearly uncomfortable and he stated that he just wanted a quiet night at home with his family, but he's being pushed to 'perform' the role of gracious host to a bunch of people that he clearly doesn't like and who only see his as a commodity to sell their product. When his wife (y'know the woman he loves, his life partner, the one person you'd expect him to be completely honest with) told him about the party he kinda just went along with what she wanted to make her happy. He always does what is expected of him, by his wife, his daughter, at work, by Vault-Tec, by the government and the military in the past. And in that moment it's like Roosevelt is the only creature on the planet that Cooper can be truly honest with and that's so sweet (because dog's are awesome) but also really sad for Cooper.
"They don't allow dogs in the vault? Who makes the rules?" Quite subtle. Then he says to Dogmeat "You're not him" talking about Roosevelt. One of the saddest parts of the show.
You can tell that the screenwriter has had and lost a dog.
It's not really focused on, but this version of Dogmeat is actually a girl. Wilzig mentions it in the montage of her growing up.
yes you are right its a she = ))
The movie in our universe was " a boy and his dog" it was a predecessor for fallout, where a boy and a dog have a psychic connection in a post apocalypse. The name Dogmeat also comes from the movie
aww thanks for this info
Hey saw this comment just now sorry for basically copying it.
Happy Friday to you the Ghoul is one the best parts of this live action Fallout series. Perfect Ghoul cosplay by the way.
Thanks Damian its one of my favs also
@@GeorgiaDow You are welcome keep these videos and cosplays coming
@damianstarks3338 the first time I watched the show and saw the ghoul, I was like " YES THIS THIS CHARACTER IVE PLAYED THIS CHARACTER IN EVERY GAME" also a little nod to new vegas the ghoul I think is the only on who uses different ammo types just like in New vegas. Power armour is useless when you've got 50 cal exploding rounds being thrown at you. Also doesn't help that I have basically the same coat and hat. My young son saw some of fallout and looked at me one day and said dad your the ghoul!!! "You saying I gotta face like shoe leather kid?" LOL I take it as a compliment since the ghouls possible one of the best fallout characters ever written. He's right up there with Randell Clark
I hope you do more of the fallout characters in future videos
i will be
Another thing that many people miss (and will only catch upon like an umpteenth rewatch *ahem* me *ahem*) is how Cooper reverts back to his normal accent around Dogmeat. I can't wait for more moments like that in s2!
"History can say what it want but rarely does it remember anything correctly"-Lawkeeper Equity Mlp Ace Attorney EOJ
Fun fact about the fallout series. Dogmeat’s names come from the Film A Boy and his Dog which takes place in 2024 after a nuclear apocalypse. The duo are Vick and Blood who are telepathic linked Man and Dog though Vick is only 18. Vick calls blood dogmeat after one of their many arguments throughout the film.
I remember that movie. Lots of similarities to the Fallout universe. They even have an underground society. They really thought hard on how a human would be if most of the rules of morality were out the window when it came to Vick. He is highly animalistic in nature.
thanks for that !! great detail
@@GeorgiaDow love your content. I would highly recommend A Boy and his Dog 1975. You can find the whole thing free on RUclips. Though I warn you it is not for the faint of heart. The ending in my opinion is equally beautiful as it is horrific.
@@Jesses001 That’s one of my most favorite aspects of the film. Because it’s ironic with Vick and Bloods relationship. Vick is a savage more animal than man while Blood is highly intelligent and corrects Vick on things such as grammar and is basically Vick’s teacher such as teaching Vick the presidents.
@@milomarkovic9549 Yes the irony of the situation was not lost on me. I guess being a hyper-intelligent conditionally immortal dog would cause him to depart from "dog" morality quite a bit though.
Is there a stronger bond than the one between a ghoul and his dog?
Brilliant! This wasn’t something i thought too much about when watching the show but it works so well. Cooper regaining his humanity through Dogmeat great way to link his former and current selves. Please do a video on Lucy! 🙏
I like to think that Dogmeat became a popular name for dogs in the wasteland because even after all this time people recognized the importance of the name. Why they know it's important might be a distant memory, they just know it's significance; it's like why we would name dogs Fido or Rex, we might not know why these names are important, we just know they're good names for dogs. From the Vault Dweller of Vault 13 and their grandson the Chosen One of Arroyo Village, to the Lone Wanderer of Vault 101, to the Sole Survivor of Vault 111. Legends of these people spread across the wastes, some more amazing and harder to believe than the last, with friendly super mutants or talking deathclaws, with alien ray guns or a simple hunting rifle, regardless of the details, with them there were dogs named Dogmeat.
A dog is humanitys best friend and you cannot correct me on this
Fight me if you dare I will DIE on this hill
No argument here, we don't deserve dogs. Rather they don't deserve us. I try to live up to my dog's unwavering faith in me.
Mild contradiction: Dogs are the loving creatures that humans CAN be; not so much the best friends, but the ideals of friendship.
Cats are backstabbing arselochs that people wind up being.
I prefer cats, but love them like dogs love people.
Second rule: everything is a pupper if it can be pet.
Third rule: everything can be pet if you're reckless enough.
Thank you, Georgia! I love how the dog helped link him back to his humanity. Such a great character.
I get it. When you experience that much loss you end up wanting to avoid those connections in the future to avoid the loss.
So glad you are covering Fallout. The game franchise fell between the cracks for me, but I knew enough about the plot/synopsis of what the world of Fallout is like. I absolutely loved how this series was acted, shot, and written. Something I also liked is how the three main characters, Lucy, Maximus, and The Ghoul/Cooper Howard, are much more fully fleshed out as actual believable, complicated characters as opposed to just being archetypes of the usual trios we've seen in previous works. Lastly, I was also surprised how much I liked Norm's side plot and how it shows the virtues of bravery and courage.
I dare to say that his time as a soldier defenly made the Ghoul even before the bombs dislke autority and politics. You can see his distan for the vaultec guys and their happy go by way of promissing the future...

i mean, your comment came right on the heels of the video first appearing, lol. You expect hundreds of comments mere minutes after the video is uploaded? XD

2:19 I swear to Geebz! I watched the show 8 times over, never took note of the poster 😮🤔
Waiting for when The Ghoul was gonna get analyzed next 😆
Walton Goggins' Awesome in my book 👍🏽🤠🧟♂️
he is so good in this role
My family has always had dogs, to the point where my younger sibling is currently best friends with a particularly hyperactive collie (who would probably be a good apocalypse buddy if it came to it).
So Dogmeat, in their various incarnations (as well as any other canine buddies you come across in the wasteland), have always been my favourite parts of the Fallout games, and this new version in the show is no different. It feels... right somehow, having a lil furry friend to keep me company in game, just like I always had as a kid/teen.
Gotta love the puppers. Humanity doesn't deserve dogs.
Also, Georgia, your own dog is adorable! ❤
Georgia I think you should do a video on maximus.. I know you're probably moving to other things but I think he has a very interesting character.
You see when we were being told that this show was going to be made the three characters represent the three karma choices in fallout The Good the neutral and the evil.
After watching the show it's really kind of hard to feel that these three characters represent those good choices because lines get blurred like whenever you do play fall out everything's not so simply good evil or neutral.
I truly do think that Maximus is a good example of just the lines getting blurred because if you do not know this.
A lot of people from pre-war were very very capitalistic to the point where the little guy or the middle class was severely severely abused in terms of physical mental and spiritual means this is an example found throughout all of the fallout games.
And I say spiritual means because if you want to look it up and fallout 76 there is a location called the Palace of the winding path.
It is a great example of how people were manipulated and abused in terms of spiritual means.
but sorry, was rambling and rambling...... It is my ADHD but as I was saying earlier I think it'd be a very good video, to do one on Maximus.
My Echo: Lucy reminds him of his past humanity
My Shadow: Dogmeat becomes his trusty companion
And Me: The Ghoul trying to figure out who he is again
I didn't know Dogmeat is now ghoul or part ghoul? I thought the dog was just wounded non-fatally and given a Stimpack?
She meant it metaphorically
She didn't, she was just mistaken
The man and his dog. Was also a callout to the movie a boy and his dog. A post apocalyptic world. (Bombs dropped) and its this teen and his dog who has a device to allow it to talk. At the end he values the dogs life over human life. With a quip and a joke.
you should check out the new interview with the vampire tv show. Very interesting dynamics and relationship between the characters.
your dog is adorble
thanks
If she told me my dog wasn't allowed, I'd tell her to pack salt.
Never heard "pack salt", always heard "pound sand", or even "pound sand down a rathole". Now I have an interesting new phrase to look up the etymology of.
That ending is so sweet with him waiting for a bit for Dogmeat to come out
Its a troop from the Game... no matter what ever you do to Dogmeat... give the Dog a Stimpack and everything is fine...
thank you so much for another video on him.
I cant believe this niche pc game from my childhood is getting an adaptation analyzed
The best man’s best friend moments
Another great video! The Ghoul is definitely my favorite character, and I have some unresolved questions about him. Like what exactly is the medicine that the live women were being held hostage for to create that he was topping up on. Perhaps its some hormone that keeps that sanity going, keeps you enough "alive" so as to not go feral?
Also I don't think Snake Oil Salesman ghoulified Thaddeus, I think it might well have been an FEV sample?
It's also definitely Chekov's Stimpack being used in the fallout, heh, of the Filly battle. Not whatever anti-feral meds the Ghoul was taking and had to replace.
Cowboy outfit back let’s gooooooo, just looks badass
Fantastic video, I found it nice to have Dogmeat be a more emotionally significant presence than just a reference to the games, to be this bridge between who cooper was and who he became. Thank you for shedding light on the more nuanced aspects of characters and writing
he used a stimpack to heal him, he did not use the medicine to turn him into a Ghoul
yes you are right. She won't be invulnerable but lets hope there are more stim packs for her
@@GeorgiaDow - in my experience playing Fallout 4, I use an order of magnitude more stimpacks on Dogmeat than myself. Furry little disaster magnet, I swear, but invaluable.
I think we will get a flashback of probably Roosevelt surviving the blast with Cooper. But probably dies from either radiation or through raider attacks. And it's death would be the last bit of humanity that he loses until dogmeat comes into play.
This was great as always. Just one side note: another person also mentioned it. Dogmeat is not a Ghoul. He was still alive when Cooper decided to help him. You could here a little wimpy sound from him, when cooper looks around. And he just got a normal stimpack. So he was just healed 😊 love the video anyway.
I think, a soft spot for animals in Cooper was shown early on, in the scene with the chicken. He just cuddles it and at the end it was the only person left alive 😂
Coopers attitude is also from his experience as a veteran. He's had to follow rules and orders that seemed or were arbitrary and it got people hurt or killed. As a vet myself I sympathize a lot with cooper even if ive never fought because i can still relate with the dislike of rules that are arbitrary.
“She’s reading little house on the prairie to Rosevelt”
“Ah. Does he like it?”
I love it😂 he doesn’t go “why?” Or “how is her reading?” He knows she’s doing her best and having fun. The only pressing question left is “how does Rosevelt like the story?”😂
Video request: Can you do an analysis on the song Abnormality Dancin' Girl?
(Like this comment so it gets pushed to the top!)
"I'm sorry, Dogmeat, but you're not him" 😭😭😭 The most painful line in the whole series.
The ghoul is such a complex character, I'm glad his human side is still there. Not gonna lie, when he stabbed the dog I lost all trust in his character, but he redeemed himself very quickly and now he has the best companion to go on.
I was comforted by knowing that of course he’s going to defend himself against an attack from a dog but he definitely redeemed himself after that.
Darn this video hit hard because my dog passed away on Christmas and not going to lie it’s been very hard, darn I miss my best friend
One of the things that l liked about Dogmeat in Fallout 4 is that he is amoral. He will continue to be your companion no matter what choices you make. Using Dogmeat as a plot device to represent a conscience works well in the show but I don't like to think of him that way in the game.
It's a real shame that the full versions of videos are being poured into a paid subscription website
Now that I think about it, have you ever considered analysing game characters ? There are alot of cool game series that feature well written characters. My personnal recommandation would be the Life is Strange series (I think you'd love it). Love your videos, cheers from France !
the ghoul is my favorite character in this show so far i love him.... hes so interesting!!!
Not even a ghoul is immune to puppies
Humans have had a special relationship with dogs for a long time now. Even bad people often find it hard to harm dogs. Hitler was even kind to dogs. It takes a special type of mentally broken to want to harm a dog, a type of mentally broken you are far more qualified to know about than I.
More dog please, Georgia. Gorgeous wee thing.
Dogmeat isn’t a Ghoul, he just used a stimpack on him to heal him
I was wondering if you would be interested in analyzing characters from RWBY, I'm a big fan of RWBY and it'd be awesome if you did.
I will see about it and how many would like that = )
At about 9:38, Cooper is also dressed, and has his hair groomed, very much like Number Six from The Prisoner.
Number Six also lived in a world where he had no control, and anonymous others told him what the rules were going to be. And he also took action against it.
I just had a series of dreams a few days ago that are eerily similar to the remake, but I've never heard of the series until I read your comment...am I losing my mind?
@@Smashboozer Nope, it's the way it's supposed to be.
@@Torch4Life I can follow the path but why do I have to do it blind and alone?
@@Smashboozer I don't have objective proofs, it's a belief thing for me, but I think we're all 1. You're not alone.
Kind of gives the song a the end a different meaning, my echoe, my shadow, myself

day 73 of asking for Bungou Stray Dogs
Watching this makes me miss Pitbull Jasmine so much.. a man can't have a more loyal friend than a dog who loves him back 😢
This video gave me a little piece of my humanity.. though it was painful
I’m so happy you got this one out so fast after the first one! I’ll be looking forward to seeing future fallout vids, like Moldaver
Love your cosplays
Pretty sure Dogmeat is female. In any event Dogmeat always chooses the legends of the wasteland
Yes I rewatched and they said she
So, 4, or CX-404, is not Dogmeat. Dogmeat is from Fallout 1 and had a cameo in Fallout 2. A dog they called Dogmeat was in Fallout 3, and the dog in Fallout 4 was called Dog.
Cooper as The Ghoul calls 4 Dogmeat as an ode to Ghouls eating animals; "you're not him, dogmeat". He's calling the dog what it is, dog meat, to try and still distance himself from accepting his humanity again.
Currently playing through FO4 and the dog IS named Dogmeat and is even referenced to as “Dogmeat” by other companions like Nick (when you’re tracking Kellogg), but I personally speculate that it could just be a pretty common nickname for dogs in that world
Edit: I just remembered that you don’t INITIALLY get the name Dogmeat for the dog; he’s simply introduced as “dog” when you meet him at the Red Rocket and the actual name pops up later, so that might be the reason it’s a lil confusing!
I'm dreading finding out what happens to Roosevelt. Maybe there was a dog friendly vault.
Edit: I didn't catch the part about Dogmeat being part ghoul :o probably need a rewatch 😊
Dogmeat isn't actually a ghoul, aka "skin melted and scarred, and turned biologically immortal".
Dogmeat is, however "resurrected" (healed by a stimpak) from what should have killed him, while The Ghoul was "resurrected" (ghoulified by radiation) from what should have killed him.
@@OhhCrapGuyah ok, that's what I thought. I'll just rewatch it anyway 😁
Fallout? I'm sold. 👍🏻
I was excited for this!

AAAAAAAA! Yourdogissocute!!!!!
Also, great video as always. I loved how his relationship with Dogmeat evolved as the season went on.
Dogmeat is best dog!😊😊🐕
I love the reference to Harlan Ellison’s classic novella “A Boy and his Dog:” the story of Vic and his telepathic dog Blood, whom Ellison based on his beloved pupper Abu.
At this point, if someone asks me if a show is any good, I can pretty much just tell them that Georgia Dow is analyzing it, so, yes. 😁
If nothing else, it means they have compelling characters at the very least. Be it Arcane, Wednesday, Cyberpunk Edgerunners or Blue Eye Samurai to name a few. Heck, I don't even watch much TV/Streaming but I feel somewhat vindicated in that the few shows I do watch have been worthy of your analysis. Thanks!
Also, what breed is the dog? I'm getting Belgian Malinois vibes.
“I’m sorry dogmeat but you ain’t him” that line broke me. Sometimes acquiring a new pet after your old one dies is a weird feeling. You feel a since a betrayal to your old dog but also joy for having a furry friend again. It’s bittersweet. 😢
Stimpacks don't cause goulification.
They are just a macguffin from the game to allow healing of an injured character to allow you to keep playing uninhibbited.
In the show they serve the same purpose, which you see when Lucy 'goosey' McLain injects herself with a stimpack after being stabbed and then she is instantly able to go into the main part of the vault to help fight the raiders.
So Dogmeat isn't a ghoul, he/she is still just a regular dog ... unless the Enclave scientist did something after rescuing Dogmeat from being thrown into the furnace.
Dogmeat is a reference to the game Fallout 3. You can get a companion to fight alongside you named Dogmeat. Who is also a German Shepard.
It would be cool to see you deal with the psychology seen in some of the games. One of the most memorable side quests called "I don't hurt anymore" is about convincing a victim of assault to seek a psychologists help. There's another in the same game where you have to help a race of super mutants with the schizophrenia they have a predisposition for
"sorry dogmeat... but you aint him" i have had many dogs, and i have loved them, but god... that one dog... there is always that one dog that is just special to you... and i feel that line deep into my soul
Roosevelt is a good boy ❤️
Dogmeat is a good girl ❤️
Dogs are the second-best pets in the world ❤️
I notice you skipped over the part where, after using Lucy as bait to lure the gulper, the Ghoul abandoned Dogmeat by the river and left to get his medicine with just Lucy in tow. I think that confirmed that at that point, Dogmeat was just a tool, and he was a tool the Ghoul didn't need any longer. (And he only took Lucy because he needed to sell her to get the medicine.)
I am very curious as I have watched a few of your videos and wonder if you will take a look at "Interveiw with the vampire" TV show. And Analyse Lestat?
First off I want to say I enjoy your videos and your thoughts/opinions and power of observation. There is one point here that I feel ypu missed, though were close to. You mention his questioning coming from being used to having power and also from being told to do things he did not want to do (reffering to the acting scene). However he on several occasions mentions his time in the army and in the war. He talks of the poor decisions people in power made that got a lot of his friends killed. They even sent them to battle in power armour with a weak spot in the front. That makes a huge impression on people. For example I had commanders make terrible choices that put my life and the lives of those I was responcible for needlesly at risk (likely did not help that I had a birthday over seas putting me at the same age my mother was when she died at her job). This lack of thinking about safety has made me a lot more safety foccused in civi side and unwilling to assume work has a good solution. I ask a lot more questions about their safety plans as I do not trust they have thought it through (most safety plans are reactionary, but I have no intention of bevoming the incident that causes a safety plan because some one in a tie did not think it through). Similarily he does not trust that Vault-Tec is making choices that are wise and for the good of those at the bottom.
It was so difficult for me to watch the Ghoul and Dogmeat parts of the show. It reminds me so much of my dog who died a few years back. I don’t ever want to get attached to another dog because I don’t want to feel that sense of loss ever again. I guess I can understand how Cooper feels and I’m sure in a similar situation I’d probably fall for another dog too, even if I really don’t want to right now.
