You can consider any dog companion in the Fallout Universe "Dogmeat", as it's used in multiple instances across different storylines. I personally like the Brotherhood of Steel, but not just because of the cool armor, etc.. I like that they aren't portrayed as pure good or pure evil, they are always conflicted, some are true to the ideals while others only give lip service to the rules.
Glad to see another Fallout fan who isn't out to dig on everything they don't find consistent or they don't necessarily approve of. Just started your reactions, looking forward to more.

Oh, I only met Dogmeat in Fallout 4, and he only gets the name Dogmeat after you talk with Mama Murphy, so I thought it was the only one.
The armor and general style of the Brotherhood are really cool, but their ideals are what I don't care for much. Still, maybe I haven't played enough (and I did like a few of the Brotherhood characters from the game).
As for consistency, when it comes to fiction: the longer the story goes on, the more inconsistent it will be. So I just enjoy what I get.
I hope you enjoy the reactions.

@@theladynika Definitely! I just enjoy the Fallout world and i'm grateful to have a show dedicated to it that is so well thought out and constructed. Enjoying the reactions, thanks for taking the time to make them!

Yes, the dog was under weight. FYI its name is cx-404 not dogmeat which is a n error code for "file not found" That was a MK1 turret which are very poor shots. In The Ghouls defense cx-404 attacked him, which gets you stabbed in the wasteland.

[@theladynika]

Well... I get that he had to defend himself (the ghoul), but still, I feel bad for the dog.
So funny that the dog's name is 404; I hadn't noticed that. I just thought it was the same dog from Fallout 4, but then again, Fallout 4 happens in Boston.
As for the turrets, they are always a pain for me.

There are definitely good and likable characters in or originating from the BoS in the games. Like our friend Maximus here, who later gives a statement about the brotherhood that is aligned with his ideals, but certainly not the BoS. Yeah they're kinda twisted, but not as bad and ruthless as i.e. Enclave, and not as crazy as some of the other cults. All factions in a role playing game shouldn't be good or likable, that would be boring and Diensyesque. Also, characters in game, and even more so on screen, needs to be developed. Having a mystery surrounding them if they are likable or not, to me is a good approach to writing. Even if his backstory is weak for obvious reasons, and Maximus doesn't evolve that much during this season, I'm pretty sure he'll have a more significant role in season 2.
The doctor/scientist is Enclave - one of the worst factions in the game - and some of the takeaways from the show alone are; close ties with Vault Tec, researching the "neck thing" (you know what it is by now), researching canine stuff (Cyberdogs?), and are even involved with FEV if you pay close attention to the opening minutes of this episode.

[@theladynika]

The Enclave doesn't show up much in Fallout 4, at least I don't remember them. And yeah, there are worse cults in the game, like the Children of Atom, but since there aren't many quests with them, I usually forget.
I've been thinking a lot about the show and the comments I've been receiving about the BoS. I realized that I actually like a lot of the characters from that faction; I just don't agree with their ideals.
The characters and the story in general need mystery-that's the best writing. I love solving them. It doesn't stop me from being frustrated, though; it doesn't mean I didn't like it.
