@@AbbyJaneReactsTrust me, they’re the same types of babies that whined about The Acolyte… for very similar reasons… I don’t think you’d be the kind to complain about it if you get what I’m saying.
@ It just wasn’t at all, I actually stayed away from the first season close to when the 2nd season dropped bc I heard all these bad things. 1 episode in and I was genuinely shocked that this is what people were saying ruined the franchise, it’s the Star Wars fandom all over again. Just a bunch of bitter middle-aged men who run on nostalgia and can’t appreciate anything slightly different. Oh yah, and can’t tolerate anybody who isn’t white in tv shows or movies.
Fallout takes place in an alternate timeline that embraced nuclear power and robotics, while our world focused on computer science, post Second World War. This allowed our tech to get smaller yet more powerful over time, with advancements in hardware leading to compact, high-performance devices, such as our smart phones. The Pip-Boy, worn by Vault Dwellers, are the smallest form of computing device in the Fallout universe. While the Fallout universe prioritized other fields of science, which is why its technology retains a retro-futuristic aesthetic inspired by 1950s visions of the future. Devices like computers, radios, and TVs in Fallout remained bulky and analog-like. Microprocessors do exist in the Fallout universe, they just never became a focal point, as the scientific world concentrated on nuclear and robotic innovations. The earliest divergence from our timeline occurs in 1969, when the United States was reorganized from 50 states into 13 Commonwealths. Instead of the Apollo program (1961-1969), which saw Apollo 11 landing the first astronauts on the Moon, the Fallout universe saw a different event. On July 16, 1969, a United States Air Force team aboard the Virgo II lunar lander, named Valiant 11, made the historic Moon landing.
It's never addressed in the games, but even with careful planning inbreeding would be an issue. 219 years is about 8 generations and it would be very difficult to be not related to everyone in such a small population. The show doesn't have any characters from the games. This is one of the reasons why I think it works, since Fallout is more about the world than any one character
Fun reaction. If things ever seem unrealistic remember this series uses GAME logic, so if in doubt remember Game. The series does a poor job of showing how many people are in the vault, recall they show Lucy teaching children, which are never seen again. They don't have anyone on guard because vault dwellers tend to follow the rules and Chet as gatekeeper has the only key. Lucy can always get back in as long as she does not lose her Pip-boy (the wrist thing) Lucy has not seen the sun per se, but they do have ultra violet light in the vault for the farm crops. Yes, squire is a promotion. The suits have someone inside. Ghouls are mutants created by high radiation, they are tough, long lived and self heal.
Show was filmed in US (NY State, Utah) and Africa. Show location is California (LA) mostly (couple aren't, one example, the Ghoul stuff in this ep is likely Mexico). So what they do is add recognizable stuff telling us it is California, or in some cases they add stuff on real location telling us it is not show location, while not revealing show location (example: scenes filmed in Brooklyn Army Terminal). While, in one specific case (Brotherhood base where Airship arrived in this ep), they didn't add to filming location (north-west Utah, Wendover Army Airbase. That is where from aircraft that delivered nukes, took off in ww2. Not active base today), telling us that in this case, filming location is show location too, I guess..
Yepp, Lucys brother is Rico from Hannah Montana 👍 For the "advanced medicine" .. its called a stim-pack and in this show they often just use game mechanics, so in games you just use a stim-pack (hp potion or how ever its called in other games) and a part of your health is directly replenished.
I've played Fallout since 3 (so, Fallout 3, Fallout New Vegas, Fallout 4, and even 76) and looked into the lore with 1 and 2 while dabbling with playing them, and this show is amazing. It's probably the best and most accurate video game-to live action adaptation there is.
Excellent observation skills, you clearly have a maxed Perception stat (it's from the games 😅). Glad I stumbled on your channel, and excited to see more!

This series is in the fallout universe but it occurs 9yrs after the fallout 4 game. Beginning scene is in the yr 2077 when the bombs were dropped. 219yrs put this series in 2296. None of these characters are from any of the games. This is a stand alone story with in the fallout universe.
But certain groups mentioned like the brotherhood, vault tec, the enclave are groups you run into playing the games. The only version of the games series that take place in the region where we are for the show was fallout 1 and 2 i believe and some of fallout new vegas. Fallout 3 and 4 are on the east coast of the US in DC and Boston.
@@aaronunsfe Don't forget the MMO Fallout 76, that's in West Virginia. But you're right, the show is in the region of Fallout 1 and 2 and. . . *spoiler . . . . . . . New Vegas for season 2 (as seen at the end of the season finale)
@kennethcook9406 i didn't forget but yeah that one takes place in west Virginia and was in chronological sense was opened in the 2109 or 10 originally wasn't suppose to open tell the 2177 I believe but circumstances caused them to open early.
" I dont think we should pull it out. I think we're not supposed to pull it out" Abby Jane, 2025 I'm sorry but that was pretty funny. :) I agrree though I thought it was a really good first episode. I admit I was impressed when she fought her "husband" and he just punted her across the room. That's pretty much how it supposed to go given the differences in size and weight but its not how its usually portrayed nowadays. I'ts a solid show I admit it surprised me and I enjoyed it quite a bit.
Im remembering before this show came out, so many people were dreading this show because Amazon did it. They ruined The Rings of Power and Wheel of Time for a lot of fans. But they did a great job on Fallout, however there are still a bunch of nitpicky Fallout fans crapping on this one. They just havent got much traction because most people loved it.
Two weeks is long enough in most cases. Radiation levels actually drop very quickly after a nuclear explosion (they are actually cleaner than a power plant melting down which is what most modern people think of when they think about radiation). Radiation would drop to survivable levels in a matter of days unless you are very close to the center of the blast. So the average shelter would need less than a month before it would be safe to pop the cork and go outside for brief periods.
@@markcarpenter6020 To be clear I'm speaking about the imaginary world of Fallout, where all of the personal bunkers have corpses in them, and final word journal entries left in computer terminals that somehow still work. The environmental narratives in the game indicate the shelters under people's houses failed miserably. We know people live in Japan, in current year, to help make your point about the reality of nuclear explosions. I think the Far Cry New Dawn has the most realistic portrayal of a mega fauna explosion of flowers, other plant life, and wildlife, helped along by the removal of mankind from the equation.
@Tijuanabill in the fallout games the bunkers usually failed because of poor design or the bunkers being unfinished not lingering radiation. (Like in fallout 4 where a family is trapped in a bunker whose ventilation failed.). And the 3rd reason is people being killed by other survivors. There are bunkers you can find that actually were working till the people became injured, sick, ran out of food, or were killed by raiders. And you have cases like in fallout 3 where the original inhabitants of underworld were people who took refuge in the museum after the bombs fell. And 76 had a lot of bunkers that actually worked (the free state bunkers) when they were built properly Though honestly there should have been a lot more settlements that were built in the subways if the were being realistic.
@Tijuanabill I have only recently tried 76 but it is honestly probably the best fallout game made by Bethesda, though it does play fast and loose with the lore in places. It's set around 25 years after the war so the post apocalyptic setting actually makes sense and the lack of a main quest means it plays to Bethesda's strengths in writing which is good side quests. The free states were a group lead by a congressman that seceded from the US and retreated to bunkers shortly before the great war. They survived the great war and were actually thriving until the scorched plague wiped out all the survivors in Appalachia.
I loved Fallout 4 and was looking forward to somebody bringing it to live action. But I was incredibly disappointed on the storylines. It looked like the Fallout environment, but Lucy seemed out of place as a vault dweller, the Brotherhood of Steel seemed too non-characteristic and everything about the ghoul was off.
Light travels faster than the speed of sound 😅
The actors nailed it with these characters.
The cities are almost all nuked ruins and still radioactive in parts, that Brotherhood of Steel base was filmed in a real place, where they did the training etc for the nuclear bombing in World War 2 ;)
The Brotherhood is famous for it's knights wearing Power Armour, developed before the war, the power armour makes surviving the wasteland much easier
Ghouls: in Fallout, sometimes when a human is hit by severe radiation they don't die but turn into a ghoul, they age extremely slowly and heal in ways better than humans but have problems as the healing doesn't work on everything (like their skin) and eventually they lose their minds and become "feral", like hyperkinetic zombie's
Season 2 of Fallout has already been greenlit. I'm literally just watching other people react to this show waiting for the next season. 😂 Subscribed
I know it! Me too. It's so good.
As a long time practically obsessed fan of Fallout I’m thankful for how good this show has turned out
Fun fact: All the games take place in different locations in the world and at different times. The show takes place 9 years after fallout 4.
And on the opposite end of the country.
To be fair, incest would be likely be a common occurrence in a closed-off community that has lasted so long.

The private bunkers were futile. They just let you live a couple of weeks longer, before you had to come out for food and die to radiation sickness.
