1
00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:07,759
Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to Geek First. This is our weekly

2
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:11,439
ish followut review series. We were on season two, episode five.

3
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:14,199
I'm your host, Dyl Muss and my usual coast here

4
00:00:14,199 --> 00:00:17,480
of Travis. Unfortunately, over these last four episodes, he's built

5
00:00:17,559 --> 00:00:20,480
up a lot of radiation poisoning from all this fallout,

6
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:22,920
and so he's sick right now. So he's with the doctor.

7
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:25,199
He'll be back next week. But in his place, I

8
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:28,239
have the Cold Fusion Man himself, Taylor Field. How's it going.

9
00:00:29,079 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 2: It's going good.

10
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:32,759
Speaker 3: Happy to be here, and you know, I'm just to

11
00:00:32,759 --> 00:00:37,560
add some more backstory here. So Travis, he was gonna

12
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:40,280
message and initially when I dropped in a discord like

13
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:42,159
oh I caught up. I binged all the episodes in

14
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:44,439
one night, and he didn't. He didn't though, and so

15
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,399
today he was coy about it and I call him

16
00:00:47,439 --> 00:00:49,079
out because he was like, oh, you know, did you

17
00:00:49,119 --> 00:00:52,000
want to join for the episode review? And I was like,

18
00:00:52,039 --> 00:00:53,240
I was thinking about it, because yeah, I did, to

19
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:54,840
get all caught up and stuff like that. And so

20
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:59,439
he was in directly kind of trying to find like, hey,

21
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:01,320
do you want to hover me tonight because I've got

22
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:07,159
plans of family and whatnot. So no, his radiation poisoning, yes, yes, sorry, yeah,

23
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:11,920
of course he's result yes, yeah, no, it worked out

24
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:13,680
well because yeah, we're Me and Travis were doing the

25
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:15,319
review last week and you were hanging out on the

26
00:01:15,359 --> 00:01:17,920
YouTube chat. You were dropping some stuff, and so it's like, oh,

27
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,760
I guess Taylor's watching this show. But yeah, so it's

28
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:22,359
good that you have been watching it because now you

29
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,599
can join us here on the episode.

30
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:26,319
Speaker 1: I'll do some plugs later, but we can get right

31
00:01:26,359 --> 00:01:28,480
into it. But how about we just get a little

32
00:01:28,519 --> 00:01:30,560
recap from you from like the first half of the season,

33
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,519
episodes one through four, and then I guess you can

34
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,319
segue that if you want into episode five. How are

35
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:38,760
you feeling about season two of the show? Also, did

36
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:40,719
you do a rewatch of any kind of the first

37
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:42,280
season or do you just do the recap thing that

38
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:42,599
they have.

39
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:48,239
Speaker 3: I'm I'm in the days of recaps now. I wish

40
00:01:48,239 --> 00:01:49,840
I could do the whole rewatch, but.

41
00:01:51,319 --> 00:01:53,719
Speaker 2: I'm this season. I'm much more hot on this season

42
00:01:53,719 --> 00:01:55,760
than I am the first season. I really really am.

43
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 3: I just I think that everything's kind of moving at

44
00:01:58,239 --> 00:02:00,920
a better pace than that I like, and I think

45
00:02:00,959 --> 00:02:05,239
I dropped this either no, I dropped into discord. Yeah,

46
00:02:05,599 --> 00:02:09,840
just there's one two, I think up to four, maybe

47
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,719
even five different narratives that are going forward right now.

48
00:02:13,719 --> 00:02:14,319
Speaker 1: I like that.

49
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, So I like that, and I'm just kind of

50
00:02:18,479 --> 00:02:20,759
curious at what point they're going to kind of come together.

51
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,479
And I feel like this episode really gave at least

52
00:02:23,479 --> 00:02:26,400
one of those narratives a prime kind of like trajectory

53
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,879
into Okay, this is going to tie in with these

54
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,159
other narratives, these two narratives going on, So I like that,

55
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,439
and so things are kind of coming together a little

56
00:02:33,439 --> 00:02:36,719
bit more, which makes sense because it's episode five. How

57
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,400
there's eight in total, right, that's right, yep, yeah, so

58
00:02:40,439 --> 00:02:40,919
three more.

59
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:41,919
Speaker 2: Yeah.

60
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 3: That being said, I really like where we've been going

61
00:02:44,319 --> 00:02:48,000
and how things have kind of gone. When I was

62
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:49,919
looking back at how things kind of concluded in that

63
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,759
first season, I don't know how hot I really was

64
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,000
at the time, but I did enjoy it for the

65
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,560
most part. But I like how a few things got

66
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,520
squashed early on in this season two and now we're

67
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,039
just kind of really running with it, and there's a

68
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,240
lot of things that well, I'm not an active follow

69
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:06,840
up player, and there's a lot of stuff that I

70
00:03:06,879 --> 00:03:10,280
don't know. There are things that happen in the show

71
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,840
and I think, okay that I can clearly take away

72
00:03:12,879 --> 00:03:14,680
is something from the game like in this.

73
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,159
Speaker 2: Episode, not a spoiler, like oh I gotta craft.

74
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:20,159
Speaker 3: Something like that's a that's just I mean maybe the

75
00:03:20,199 --> 00:03:21,520
gas pick up on something like that.

76
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 2: But like I could appreciate that and get a little.

77
00:03:23,199 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 1: Bit sequence too, yea. And the show is very video gaming,

78
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:28,039
which I appreciate.

79
00:03:28,879 --> 00:03:32,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, like that stell sequence like Sonny is. I'll just

80
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,919
say I immediately I was just thinking, man Elder scrolls,

81
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,039
I'm sneaking into a guy's shop kind of a thing.

82
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,599
Like I was really enjoying that. That made me smile.

83
00:03:40,719 --> 00:03:42,719
So yeah, I think where we're at right now is

84
00:03:42,719 --> 00:03:46,960
a good place. And uh yeah, I'm I'm really really

85
00:03:47,039 --> 00:03:49,280
enjoying it. Also, big shout outs to the use of

86
00:03:49,319 --> 00:03:53,319
the practical effects because they just do a fantastic job.

87
00:03:53,479 --> 00:03:55,599
And I was watching a clip with the death claud

88
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,639
uh so they have one guy on each arm, so

89
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,439
two guys there. A guy were controlling the jaw and

90
00:04:01,439 --> 00:04:03,960
another guy controlling the head, and I'm pretty sure another

91
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,240
one controlling the tail. So you've got like up to

92
00:04:06,319 --> 00:04:09,159
five people controlling one of these death clause and so

93
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,120
once they get all the practical effects sorted out, then

94
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,719
they give it to Industrial Light Magic to handle all

95
00:04:15,759 --> 00:04:18,360
like the CGI smoothness of it and everything. But I

96
00:04:18,439 --> 00:04:20,399
just think that's that's so cool. We need more of

97
00:04:20,439 --> 00:04:21,639
that in the industry.

98
00:04:21,959 --> 00:04:23,439
Speaker 1: So I guess they do that for like the close

99
00:04:23,519 --> 00:04:27,879
shots then right, yeahs are yeah fully CGI still or

100
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:29,959
maybe there is like a puppet on set or something.

101
00:04:29,959 --> 00:04:31,319
Speaker 2: Then they like the puppet.

102
00:04:32,079 --> 00:04:33,959
Speaker 3: The puppet for the most parts, like the head and

103
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,439
then the arms and then back toward like the tail,

104
00:04:36,519 --> 00:04:39,120
but everything legs and stuff, and that's all CGI.

105
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,759
Speaker 1: Very cool. Yeah, that's uh, you don't see that these

106
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,360
days very often. So yeah that Amazon money.

107
00:04:45,639 --> 00:04:45,839
Speaker 2: Yeah.

108
00:04:45,879 --> 00:04:49,959
Speaker 1: So episode five specifically, where are you at with this one?

109
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:50,800
You like this episode?

110
00:04:51,399 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 2: Really really liked it? Yeah.

111
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,199
Speaker 3: I thought it was great because episode four had that

112
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:57,680
peak of a cliffhanger, like.

113
00:04:57,639 --> 00:05:00,759
Speaker 4: Oh shit, what's gonna go down? And so this one.

114
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 3: I don't know anything about New Vegas. I don't know

115
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,199
if this has a lot any reference to it or

116
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,879
where it kind of fits with its connection to the game,

117
00:05:09,439 --> 00:05:12,279
But it's just really cool to kind of be active

118
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,480
in another area here that's not in I think the

119
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:15,519
season one was Philly.

120
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:17,079
Speaker 2: Is that where they were?

121
00:05:17,399 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can't even remember. I feel like it was

122
00:05:18,959 --> 00:05:22,079
pretty nondescript, Like I don't feel like we didn't get

123
00:05:22,079 --> 00:05:24,439
a lot of like specific city references or at least

124
00:05:24,439 --> 00:05:28,879
like specific game game city references.

125
00:05:29,879 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 2: Three or four are so I.

126
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:36,439
Speaker 3: Quite enjoy seeing just another above ground city scape kind

127
00:05:36,439 --> 00:05:39,120
of set up in this post apocalyptic kind of world.

128
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:40,879
I think it's really fun and just how they got

129
00:05:40,879 --> 00:05:43,199
things kind of set up here. And I mean the

130
00:05:43,199 --> 00:05:45,240
death clause are just in one area and that's just

131
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,560
the way it is, you know. It's just everyone's just

132
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:48,439
doing their own thing.

133
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 2: And yeah, I liked it.

134
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 3: It's just it felt expansive, and we got a little

135
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:57,040
bit more backstory on I don't want to say it's spoiler.

136
00:05:57,079 --> 00:06:00,079
I'm trying to be elusive for the opening.

137
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 2: Part here, but.

138
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 3: The brother's narrative, there's some expanse expanse going on there

139
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,399
with his story, and then really.

140
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:11,399
Speaker 1: Every narrative except for the like original Vault dweller people,

141
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,680
we didn't really see like the update of how thirty

142
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:16,360
three and thirty two are going this episode. I think

143
00:06:16,399 --> 00:06:18,480
every other story I got pushed forward in some way.

144
00:06:18,439 --> 00:06:20,399
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, Yeah, that's right.

145
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:25,040
Speaker 3: Which I'm not a super big fan of just the

146
00:06:25,079 --> 00:06:26,800
thirty two thirty three, So that's.

147
00:06:26,639 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 1: Definitely the least interesting stuff this season for sure.

148
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,279
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, it just kind of feels just way, you know,

149
00:06:33,199 --> 00:06:33,800
way out there.

150
00:06:33,879 --> 00:06:37,480
Speaker 1: Yeah. Ever since norm like pieced out from that that grouping,

151
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:39,079
it's like, Okay, I don't really care much for this

152
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:40,000
branching path that.

153
00:06:39,959 --> 00:06:42,839
Speaker 2: We're fo Yeah. Yeah. Everything else though, with.

154
00:06:45,519 --> 00:06:50,639
Speaker 3: McClain, that storyline and the daughter and then obviously Ghoule

155
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,000
Cowboy Gogin's character.

156
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:55,879
Speaker 2: I'm I'm I'm eating all that up.

157
00:06:56,079 --> 00:06:59,199
Speaker 3: There's just there's something with movies and shows where he'd

158
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,959
get that right pairing of two characters, and that just

159
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:06,360
is there's something there, and I just I'm a big

160
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,360
sucker for that kind of thing. And so sure enough

161
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:10,920
the show has landed. And that's probably what season one

162
00:07:10,959 --> 00:07:12,639
was kind of missing for me, because it didn't really

163
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,839
have that kind of the two team up thing. For

164
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,040
this season though, I just I love it, and I

165
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,160
think it ends on a really really interesting twist and

166
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:21,959
when you get to the end, I'm very curious to

167
00:07:21,959 --> 00:07:24,720
see how that's going to transition into the next couple

168
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,360
of episodes, So yeah, yeah.

169
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: I guess another thing. But we also didn't get any

170
00:07:29,199 --> 00:07:31,639
update from Maximus because we saw him runaway from the

171
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:35,279
uh oh oh, that's right, the civil war situation last episode.

172
00:07:35,839 --> 00:07:37,879
There's a scene in this episode that cuts to like

173
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:39,800
a guy in the background, like walking down a road,

174
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:41,079
and I thought that was gonna be him, but then

175
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,160
it turns out being some other completely random guy that

176
00:07:43,199 --> 00:07:46,439
we'll talk about later. But yeah, I guess this episode,

177
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:50,360
I guess did feel more it's weird. I am somewhat

178
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,879
critical of the editing in this episode, but also I

179
00:07:53,959 --> 00:07:55,759
do feel like we pushed a lot of our main

180
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,759
story lines quite a lot more than we normally do

181
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:00,720
in a week, just because once again we kind of

182
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:05,360
cut out two storylines completely from this week's runtime, I guess,

183
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,120
so it's all focused on this other stuff that I

184
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,720
am personally more invested in as well. But there's just

185
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:13,240
certain editing things that you know, because there's so many storylines,

186
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:16,519
you know, you're you two characters interact and for the

187
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:17,800
first time, you're like, oh, this is gonna be an

188
00:08:17,839 --> 00:08:21,360
interesting situation. They talk for like thirty seconds. Someone says

189
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,560
something really big cliffhanger, and then it just like cuts

190
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:25,519
it right there, and then like maybe you don't go

191
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:27,959
back to it till next week or maybe two weeks,

192
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:29,519
or in some storylines, it has been maybe like three

193
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:31,240
or four weeks since we've had an update, and so

194
00:08:31,319 --> 00:08:32,799
I feel like it's just harder for me to get

195
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:36,240
that investment when I'm just you know, kind of getting

196
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,879
edged over and over again for the lack of a

197
00:08:38,879 --> 00:08:41,080
better term there. So there was a couple of moments

198
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,519
like that that bothered me in this episode. And also,

199
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,840
as you mentioned, the death Claw sequence, which was the

200
00:08:46,919 --> 00:08:49,279
cliffhanger last week, me and Travis were really hyping that up,

201
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:51,759
but we probably overhyped it where we're like, man, next

202
00:08:51,799 --> 00:08:55,200
week's episode, it could be a huge, one long episode

203
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,559
death Claw battle like one shot. I don't think we

204
00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:59,799
said that, but like it could just be some huge,

205
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:04,759
seventeen million dollar episode, and it's pretty underwhelming in my opinion.

206
00:09:04,799 --> 00:09:06,519
There's still a couple good moments in it, but it's

207
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:08,399
it's not a whole lot going on there. I feel

208
00:09:08,399 --> 00:09:10,639
like we're maybe set up to actually go back there

209
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,600
potentially and do some more later on, but yeah, there's

210
00:09:13,639 --> 00:09:15,000
a couple things like that. But I think there's some

211
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,559
really good drama between like our two main characters and

212
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:20,960
what's going on with them, and so I think that

213
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,320
some of that stuff's good. And yeah, I guess in

214
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:25,960
a light spoiler way, like mister House, we're seeing him again.

215
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,480
We haven't seen him since like episode two maybe, or

216
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,519
maybe there's a glimpse in three or something, So it's

217
00:09:30,519 --> 00:09:32,720
been a bit since we've got an update on that storyline,

218
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:34,799
and so I'm glad that we got back there and

219
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:36,559
we actually got like quite a decent amount of time

220
00:09:36,639 --> 00:09:40,679
with him in this episode. Of course, all flashback sequences,

221
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,879
so all that is is pretty good. So yeah, anything

222
00:09:43,879 --> 00:09:47,080
else non spoilery or do you want to get into

223
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:47,960
the juice here?

224
00:09:48,879 --> 00:09:51,440
Speaker 2: No, I think you landed at all. Let's let's juice it.

225
00:09:51,799 --> 00:09:53,639
Speaker 1: Okay, let's let's just go right into the juice. We'll

226
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,360
do we'll do our I break later on in the episode. Yeah,

227
00:09:56,399 --> 00:09:58,360
let's start with that death claw sequence. I don't know,

228
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,000
I'm just gonna you in a very vague way to

229
00:10:01,039 --> 00:10:03,159
see if you're picking up what I'm putting down that

230
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:06,559
death Claw sequence. Did it remind you of a particular

231
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:09,240
big epic motion picture.

232
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:20,879
Speaker 2: Your answer could be no, sure, yeah.

233
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 1: Sounds like sounds like good, not okay for me, And

234
00:10:20,399 --> 00:10:22,720
I'm just pilled on this movie, that's why. But you know,

235
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,559
the the cliffhanger from last week is that the death

236
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:28,639
Claw busts through the door. Lucy and Howard are looking

237
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:30,480
up at the death Claw, and then in this episode

238
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:32,480
is revealed that that death clause hanging out there. But

239
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,600
then like another one pops out from stage left, another

240
00:10:34,639 --> 00:10:36,960
one pops out from stage right, And to me, it

241
00:10:37,039 --> 00:10:40,120
reminded me a lot of the Peter Jackson King Kong

242
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,480
sequence when like one t Rex comes out and then

243
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:45,799
like midway through the battle or whatever for the exact

244
00:10:45,799 --> 00:10:47,279
frameming because I've been watched the moving a little bit,

245
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,279
then like another t Rex comes out, and then like

246
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:51,000
I think it's the third t Rex comes out, and

247
00:10:51,039 --> 00:10:53,240
King Klong's like getting them to chomp on each other

248
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,080
and he's like throwing them off cliffs and all that

249
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,279
great stuff, which, you know, great sequence. I love that movie,

250
00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:59,840
but it very kind of reminded me of that, even

251
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:02,600
though we don't get that level of epic battle between

252
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,559
all these characters and like this huge choreographed battle between

253
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:07,879
like all these kaiju or anything. But I don't know why.

254
00:11:07,879 --> 00:11:09,519
It just reminded me of that. I guess because t

255
00:11:09,639 --> 00:11:12,080
Rex and death Claw are kind of they're kind of

256
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:16,440
similar issues. They got claws, they got scales, they got

257
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:18,840
big chompers, so I guess there's that similar to there.

258
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,080
But yeah, how did you feel about that sequence? Were

259
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,559
you over hyping it like me and Travis were, or

260
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,080
were you pretty satisfied with like the kind of albeit

261
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:27,360
quick sequence that we got.

262
00:11:28,039 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 3: I would have loved the fight, Oh man, that would

263
00:11:30,159 --> 00:11:33,120
have just been so juicy. And when you see multiple

264
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,840
death Club popping up, oh, I'm I'm eating it up.

265
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,480
I'm starting to get freaked out from my own safety.

266
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:43,320
But after the intensity that they showed that Death Claw

267
00:11:43,399 --> 00:11:46,960
and the a few episodes ago when he was overseas

268
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,240
fighting or it was last week's episode in that flashback,

269
00:11:49,279 --> 00:11:51,240
because yeah, I intervened when you guys were talking about

270
00:11:51,279 --> 00:11:54,799
when he was in Alaska, that sequence, Yeah, in Alaska,

271
00:11:54,919 --> 00:11:56,799
so when he encounters it and it's just like okay, So.

272
00:11:56,879 --> 00:11:58,559
Speaker 1: They confirmed that this week. By the way, they did

273
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,519
like actually comment on that in the flashback that.

274
00:12:01,399 --> 00:12:02,519
Speaker 2: He was in a lot they did.

275
00:12:02,639 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, and so that was just it was terrifying.

276
00:12:05,759 --> 00:12:07,879
And I've never faced one in the game, but I

277
00:12:07,919 --> 00:12:10,399
know that those things are like the the oh shit.

278
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,679
And so when this thing is just tearing up these

279
00:12:13,919 --> 00:12:17,559
Communists and the Americans all alike, it's like, holy shit, Okay,

280
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:21,240
this thing's crazy. So I was expecting something a little

281
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:24,759
bit bigger, but I guess it's just kind of leads

282
00:12:24,759 --> 00:12:26,320
to something that's going to happen. I think we're going

283
00:12:26,399 --> 00:12:28,960
to be dealing with these death clause eventually because I

284
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:32,600
think that's where the entrance to the vault is correct. Yeah,

285
00:12:32,639 --> 00:12:35,639
so that's what we're going to be kind of diving in.

286
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:37,399
They're going to use their budget for that big fight

287
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:39,080
whenever that kind of goes down there.

288
00:12:39,159 --> 00:12:41,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess like something like that could be a

289
00:12:41,799 --> 00:12:46,799
big final episode action set piece. And obviously, like for

290
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:48,519
the fans of the games, the death clause like kind

291
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:50,360
of that ultimate creature I like dude had a little

292
00:12:50,399 --> 00:12:52,639
reference to, like they're like, oh yeah, these death clause

293
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,320
came from Corey Rock. I forget the exact name of

294
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,639
the place, but in following New Vegas, like the first

295
00:12:57,679 --> 00:12:59,559
time you'll see a death clause at this place called

296
00:12:59,639 --> 00:13:02,080
Quarry Rock whatever that, Yeah, the exact name is, but yeah,

297
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:05,039
it's like this quarry. It's pretty close to the starting town.

298
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:06,879
And the idea is that, like, if you're trying to

299
00:13:06,919 --> 00:13:09,360
just gun it straight to New Vegas, that's like the

300
00:13:09,399 --> 00:13:11,360
most direct route, but then you go that way and

301
00:13:11,399 --> 00:13:13,039
there's death clause, and you're like, Okay, fuck it, I'm

302
00:13:13,039 --> 00:13:14,360
not gonna go that way. I'm gonna go like the

303
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,440
long way around, and then you bumble into like a

304
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:18,759
ton of side quests on the way there. So I

305
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,039
like that that that was a nice reference to the game.

306
00:13:21,159 --> 00:13:23,919
I liked. I like that, And yeah, I mean you're

307
00:13:23,919 --> 00:13:25,799
calling out the practical effects of it. I think the

308
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:27,240
death cluster off all looks good. It was just a

309
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,519
little quick. The one thing that seemed goofy to me

310
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,360
is at one point they're going through their bag. Lucy's

311
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:34,440
still like trying to find drugs mid battle. She can't

312
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,440
even get her mind straight, just like I gotta get

313
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:40,480
into the stagerous situation. And at one point Howard has

314
00:13:40,519 --> 00:13:44,039
a grenade and he puts it in a bag, throws

315
00:13:44,039 --> 00:13:45,759
the bag, and then shoots the bag to blow up

316
00:13:45,759 --> 00:13:48,200
the grenade. But I'm like, why don't you just why

317
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:51,240
don't you just throw the grenade and it blows up

318
00:13:51,279 --> 00:13:52,840
and then it has like the same effect and then

319
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:53,240
you don't.

320
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 3: Have to take that letter again. He pulled the pin

321
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:56,919
for the grenade and threw it in the bag and

322
00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:57,240
threw it.

323
00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 1: Or he's she shot at the bag, which makes me

324
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:01,840
that he was shot the grenade to activate it.

325
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:06,159
Speaker 3: Ah, yeah, maybe, well maybe it wasn't a grenade that

326
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:07,120
could like blow up me.

327
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:08,399
Speaker 2: It was just a I don't know.

328
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:09,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe it was like a dud. Maybe I had

329
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:11,360
like a false fuse or something like that.

330
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, there must have been maybe other explosive pieces and

331
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:15,440
there weren't grenades.

332
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:17,159
Speaker 1: Maybe I read it as like he was trying to

333
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:19,519
delay it a bit, like he he didn't want it

334
00:14:19,519 --> 00:14:21,039
to blow up rated then he wanted to blow up

335
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:22,960
like ten seconds later or something. But it just seemed

336
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,600
like a little silly. But I don't know, maybe maybe

337
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:27,799
I'm nitpicking that. And then yeah, they kind of just

338
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,240
pretty pretty quickly evade this thing and peace out. But

339
00:14:31,279 --> 00:14:33,799
like you said, I do think we are gonna go

340
00:14:33,919 --> 00:14:37,200
back there, And I guess the question is, what is

341
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:39,840
that gonna be like, are they gonna stock up on uh,

342
00:14:40,039 --> 00:14:42,120
you know, fat man, like the equivalent of the RPG,

343
00:14:42,279 --> 00:14:45,120
like all these big things, a bunch of mines, more grenades, molotovs,

344
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:47,120
and then go at it like is it gonna be

345
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,600
Lucy and Howard? Who knows? Well, you know how these

346
00:14:49,679 --> 00:14:52,080
characters if they're gonna reconcile before they go down there

347
00:14:52,279 --> 00:14:54,279
or I guess she's probably I don't even know. I

348
00:14:54,279 --> 00:14:56,000
guess we can talk about that later on. What's gonna

349
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,720
happen with Lucy and we're en Howard? They both end

350
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,879
in pretty precarious situation here. But yeah, the death class

351
00:15:01,879 --> 00:15:04,039
sequent it was all right. I wanted a bit more,

352
00:15:04,039 --> 00:15:05,799
but I do think we will get a little bit more.

353
00:15:06,159 --> 00:15:08,000
But also I kind of thought that about Kaizar's legion.

354
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:09,320
I don't know if we're getting that at this point,

355
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,000
So we'll have just wait and see what happens here.

356
00:15:11,039 --> 00:15:14,600
They gotta spread that budget around, I suppose mm hmm.

357
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:15,279
Speaker 2: For sure.

358
00:15:15,639 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 3: I will say one last thing with death clause. It

359
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:20,120
definitely I like your call out of the dinosaurs for

360
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:23,519
King Kong. It definitely felt like Veloci raptors Jurassic World

361
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:25,759
kind of esque when they were just kind of sneaking

362
00:15:25,799 --> 00:15:26,360
around there.

363
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:29,159
Speaker 1: So yeah, and then, as I mentioned last week, I

364
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:34,240
was pretty disappointed that New Vegas was, you know, deserted

365
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:35,759
at this point. There's no one there. It's kind of

366
00:15:35,759 --> 00:15:37,639
all destroyed. It is inhabited by death clause. But I

367
00:15:37,679 --> 00:15:40,039
still wanted to see people. I wanted to like to

368
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:41,679
have that lively energy, and so I like that we

369
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:44,480
can just they literally just walked past one door to

370
00:15:44,519 --> 00:15:46,720
get into Free Side and we can see that metal

371
00:15:46,759 --> 00:15:49,000
door that's like blocking them off. And yeah, there is

372
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:50,639
still a bunch of people there. There is like a society.

373
00:15:50,639 --> 00:15:53,039
So that was fun. I like to see that. And

374
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,559
I can't remember, like if Sunny's is an actual shop

375
00:15:55,639 --> 00:15:57,879
in the game. It could be, it could not be.

376
00:15:57,919 --> 00:16:00,000
I'm not sure. It's been a bit since I've been

377
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,159
to Free Side in my follow up New Vegas Plane,

378
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,440
But I really like that. I like that we're back

379
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:06,000
at this place. Of course, there's all sorts of weird

380
00:16:06,039 --> 00:16:09,039
people there. Guy you know, asking for caps. You just

381
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,200
beat him up, like that's his transaction. Beat me up,

382
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:13,480
you get free caps. We have a shop and like

383
00:16:13,679 --> 00:16:16,200
a little side Quest Classics. This is a very follow

384
00:16:16,279 --> 00:16:17,759
up New Vegas kind of side quest where you go

385
00:16:17,799 --> 00:16:21,120
into a shop something's not right. Turns out the shopkeeper

386
00:16:21,679 --> 00:16:24,279
is dead, and like some guy actually kind of invaded

387
00:16:24,279 --> 00:16:26,720
the shop, took over the shop, and so Lucy's trying

388
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,000
to steal from him, and then someone else pops in

389
00:16:29,039 --> 00:16:30,679
and then we don't really see your resolution with that.

390
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:32,519
I guess she just like left. It's kind of like

391
00:16:32,519 --> 00:16:34,720
a dramatic the characters like who are you? She's like,

392
00:16:35,679 --> 00:16:39,360
I don't know. It was a little little melodramatic for

393
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:41,360
my liking. But you know, she walked away with a

394
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:45,000
power fist, which is again a very fun fallout melee weapon.

395
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,679
So overall I thought that sequence was it was decent.

396
00:16:47,799 --> 00:16:50,440
But yeah, there was her first I guess kill on

397
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:52,679
a regular human being.

398
00:16:54,919 --> 00:16:57,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I justified it was self defense, right. The

399
00:16:57,919 --> 00:17:00,360
guy clearly pulled him was in FI I think fired

400
00:17:00,399 --> 00:17:02,080
on her too, and she acted in self.

401
00:17:01,879 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 2: Defense, so she shouldn't feel as bad as she does.

402
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:05,599
But M.

403
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I mean, I guess this also closes off

404
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,480
the Lucy drug addict arc because she took the addict

405
00:17:12,519 --> 00:17:14,279
doll when now so she's cleared out.

406
00:17:14,599 --> 00:17:17,920
Speaker 3: I love clear that was just one like inhale and

407
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:19,519
then blood that just got me.

408
00:17:19,599 --> 00:17:21,440
Speaker 2: I was laughing, addict doll.

409
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:27,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, very very classic, classic follow up stuff. Let's

410
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,160
see where do we want to go next? Do you

411
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:33,480
want to stay with the Lucy Howard stuff or do

412
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:34,319
you want to jump around?

413
00:17:34,559 --> 00:17:36,839
Speaker 2: We can we can sing with Lucy Howard's stuff. Yeah,

414
00:17:36,839 --> 00:17:38,559
because it's.

415
00:17:37,839 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 3: Like we learned, Okay, he is, he's got a deal

416
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:43,920
with Hank. He's going to be switching gears here and

417
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,200
returning Lucy back to her vault in order to keep

418
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:48,640
his family safe. I wanted to say that maybe this

419
00:17:48,759 --> 00:17:53,200
was bullshit and he was just kind of doing some

420
00:17:53,599 --> 00:17:56,920
fan dangling here, right, But it seems like no, that's

421
00:17:57,359 --> 00:17:59,000
genuinely what he was going to do to keep his

422
00:17:59,039 --> 00:18:02,200
family safe, uh, which I feel like it kind of

423
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:06,680
goes against his character, right how So, I don't feel

424
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:09,759
like he's someone that kind of adheres that he I

425
00:18:09,759 --> 00:18:12,119
feel like he definitely is someone who honors a deal,

426
00:18:12,599 --> 00:18:15,880
But I don't feel like he's someone who would have

427
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:17,599
his hand forced.

428
00:18:17,319 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 2: This this hard.

429
00:18:18,279 --> 00:18:19,839
Speaker 3: I feel like, okay, he would make some kind of

430
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,039
a plan, some kind of a play that would lure

431
00:18:22,079 --> 00:18:24,480
out Hank or do something to kind of compromise.

432
00:18:24,759 --> 00:18:27,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe it's just because the stakes are so high, right,

433
00:18:27,839 --> 00:18:31,559
Like it's it's it's his wife and daughter, and this

434
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:35,039
is the thing he's been searching for for however many

435
00:18:35,079 --> 00:18:37,640
years it's been, right mm hmmm, which.

436
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,920
Speaker 3: Is again a shame that he gave up his identity

437
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,039
to give that advantage to Hank. Right at the end

438
00:18:42,039 --> 00:18:44,759
of that first season, how he just kind of revealed

439
00:18:44,839 --> 00:18:46,480
himself and his all his cards.

440
00:18:46,599 --> 00:18:49,599
Speaker 1: That kind of yeah, true, I guess it kind of

441
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:51,599
does go back to that. But yeah, I mean I

442
00:18:51,839 --> 00:18:57,559
think that's it was surprising that he betrayed her, but

443
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,400
I yeah, I think that to me, that kind of

444
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:02,279
like fits for the character. And I think she had

445
00:19:02,279 --> 00:19:04,880
like a very proper response to that, which was like

446
00:19:05,519 --> 00:19:08,240
a big plot twist surprise because it didn't feel like

447
00:19:08,279 --> 00:19:10,720
he was draining her along this whole time, just for

448
00:19:10,839 --> 00:19:12,880
this moment. But in hindsight, you can kind of piece

449
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:14,559
all to get at least from her perspective, you can

450
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:16,839
kind of piece it together that way and be like damn,

451
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:18,960
like he actually was. And I mean it's not like

452
00:19:19,079 --> 00:19:20,920
even a few days ago he was still like heckling

453
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:23,160
her and stuff. It's still like they've not been. They're

454
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,640
not like best buds or anything. They're just like companions

455
00:19:25,799 --> 00:19:28,319
which don't always agree on things, especially in like a

456
00:19:28,319 --> 00:19:31,480
Fallout game where characters are often commenting on like your

457
00:19:31,559 --> 00:19:33,680
choices in the side quest or a main mission, and

458
00:19:33,839 --> 00:19:35,319
they're like, I don't like what you just did, or

459
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:38,119
oh yeah, I killed that guy. You know, everyone's always

460
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:39,720
sharing their point of view, and so they very much

461
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,079
feel like they were clashing kind of the whole time.

462
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:45,039
But he did have that moment earlier where he saved

463
00:19:45,039 --> 00:19:47,079
her from Kaizar's legions, So I guess to her that

464
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:50,359
was probably like a big build of trust, and so

465
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:52,640
I don't know, maybe she needed to do that for

466
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:54,799
him a couple times before he had that level of trust,

467
00:19:54,799 --> 00:19:56,839
But I think it just comes down to the stakes

468
00:19:56,839 --> 00:19:58,480
of the situation. I feel like for him it was

469
00:19:58,519 --> 00:20:02,359
just such a big deal finding his family, probably particularly

470
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,240
his daughter, I would say, I mean, obviously his wife.

471
00:20:04,279 --> 00:20:06,480
There's a lot of baggage going on with that relationship,

472
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:11,119
but yeah, that's that's what he's been searching for. So

473
00:20:11,279 --> 00:20:12,880
I think I think it makes sense. And obviously a

474
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,039
lot of this episode also also kind of tied up

475
00:20:15,079 --> 00:20:18,640
in I suppose like the depression he's experienced and how

476
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:21,240
he just uses alcohol is he uses alcohol to kind

477
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:24,880
of cover up all the just shittyness of his life.

478
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,359
And he was doing that even I guess pretty much

479
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:32,440
post the reveal in season one, you know, flashback time

480
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:34,160
era when he learned about what his wife was up

481
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:36,319
to and that was really devastating to him as well.

482
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:38,759
And learning about this plan. Learning that, like the plan

483
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,880
was to have the nukes goal off like on his

484
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,559
daughter's birthday is obviously like really dark as well and

485
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:47,119
just really disgusting. So, yeah, we got to see a

486
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:49,160
little bit of the darker side of Howard, which for

487
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:51,960
him is really just bottom of the bottle kind of stuff.

488
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know, he was riding that bowl something fierce.

489
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:56,319
He was doing a good job.

490
00:20:58,319 --> 00:21:01,440
Speaker 4: When he was drinking. In that scene, he's just kind

491
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:02,160
of stumbling around.

492
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:03,599
Speaker 3: There was there's one scene I want to give of

493
00:21:03,599 --> 00:21:05,400
it because the white guy goes to cheers in his

494
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:09,039
drink and like he just grabs it out of the

495
00:21:09,079 --> 00:21:11,200
guy's hand out at the bar, which made me laugh.

496
00:21:11,319 --> 00:21:17,839
Speaker 4: But there's there's a scene where this blondhaired woman is like, oh,

497
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:18,799
you know, can I have.

498
00:21:18,799 --> 00:21:19,400
Speaker 2: A kiss with you?

499
00:21:19,759 --> 00:21:21,400
Speaker 3: Da da da, And it's like a quick scene where

500
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:23,559
you see her and then it transitions on and I

501
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:27,000
for some reason thought, Okay, that chick looks very much

502
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:30,440
like the new one eyed chick who's taken Overvaut thirty three.

503
00:21:31,279 --> 00:21:33,440
Speaker 1: I think I miss that, but I I mean, we

504
00:21:33,519 --> 00:21:36,559
do know at this point she was a cry o person,

505
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:38,000
so I think that would make a lot of sense.

506
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:40,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, from Canada, so.

507
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:45,519
Speaker 1: She's yeah, Defin is the name of that character is Steph.

508
00:21:45,599 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it would make sense.

509
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,319
Speaker 3: But again, there wasn't any other emphasis or anything added

510
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:51,559
in that scene to kind of make you think that, okay,

511
00:21:51,599 --> 00:21:53,079
this would be her, But it was just it was

512
00:21:53,079 --> 00:21:53,799
a quick cut scene.

513
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:56,400
Speaker 1: Can Yeah, I f it so really quick.

514
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:57,480
Speaker 2: Yeah.

515
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 1: So good call out though. How about we maybe take

That's nice here too, So whatever you want to do

545
00:23:23,519 --> 00:23:26,920
do So what do we got this week? I guess

546
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:30,200
kind of somewhat Fallout E related is the Bone Temple.

547
00:23:30,319 --> 00:23:32,759
What is this series called? Twenty eight years later? Bone Temple.

548
00:23:32,759 --> 00:23:34,240
We're doing a review for that, so check that out.

549
00:23:34,279 --> 00:23:36,880
Thursday night. We just had two drafts. We had the

550
00:23:37,319 --> 00:23:40,200
more of the movie draft as well as the game draft,

551
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:42,480
which are both both really fun episodes, as they always are.

552
00:23:42,599 --> 00:23:46,000
Check those out, and I think that's about all all different.

553
00:23:46,039 --> 00:23:48,039
Now we'll jump to a quick ad break and we'll

554
00:23:48,079 --> 00:23:53,680
be right back with some more Fallout. Hello, there we

555
00:23:53,799 --> 00:23:59,799
are back. Okay, yeah, let's continue on with Well, I

556
00:23:59,799 --> 00:24:02,319
guess even in this episode, like I was there a

557
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:05,160
was it a surprise or a plot? Is there anything

558
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:08,359
for you to get the official reveal that Howard's wife

559
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:11,440
and kid are actually still alive. We saw like their tube,

560
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:13,119
I guess we didn't see like their face and then

561
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:15,680
breathing and walking around, but we saw like a nameplate

562
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:17,880
on a tube with their name, So it's kind of

563
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:19,759
I mean, it makes sense this is a big thing

564
00:24:19,759 --> 00:24:21,599
that they've kind of been hinting at a little bit.

565
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:23,839
But I also feel like Howard's story has kind of

566
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:27,279
been it's been there, that's been like in his head,

567
00:24:27,319 --> 00:24:29,400
but I don't feel like that's necessarily been like he's

568
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:31,400
taken step eight one, two, three four to get to

569
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:32,920
that point. So yeah, I don't know. Was that a

570
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:35,319
surprise at all to you to actually get that confirmation

571
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:36,440
that these characters are alive.

572
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:40,039
Speaker 3: I was surprised, but I also felt like, Okay, at

573
00:24:40,039 --> 00:24:44,160
this point, it does feel like this guy Hank's going around,

574
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:45,759
he's pulling people out of cryo. And so when they

575
00:24:45,759 --> 00:24:48,440
get that reassurance and confirmation like hey, here they are,

576
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:52,319
I thought, oh, that just means that it's they're probably

577
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:54,720
being put on a show here for something that's not

578
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,920
going to bode well, some kind of something negative. And

579
00:24:58,000 --> 00:24:59,880
sure enough, that's what it came out of it, like, hey,

580
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:01,599
they won't be touched if you make this deal.

581
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,319
Speaker 2: So I also was when I.

582
00:25:04,279 --> 00:25:06,359
Speaker 4: Was looking at the wife's crowd tube.

583
00:25:06,599 --> 00:25:08,559
Speaker 3: I'm not sure if it's just because of how much

584
00:25:08,599 --> 00:25:10,680
ice there was covering the front of it, but I

585
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:12,759
was like, and you really can't see into it. It

586
00:25:12,759 --> 00:25:14,279
doesn't look like anyone's in there.

587
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:19,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I guess that's probably just well, I

588
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:22,039
guess just to keep us on edge, maybe don't show

589
00:25:22,079 --> 00:25:23,640
us face, just show us a hint of it.

590
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:24,680
Speaker 2: Maybe, mm hmmm.

591
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:26,640
Speaker 3: I was thinking, well, if they're not in there, maybe

592
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:28,440
they're out and about in a vault, or they're doing

593
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:30,839
something out and they're just they're not sleeping right now.

594
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:33,279
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, the wife obviously such an instrumental character

595
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:37,359
in Valtech and like all the goings on, dropping the bombs,

596
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:39,000
all this crazy stuff, So I could see her being

597
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:40,880
a character who was woken up. But I don't know

598
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:42,759
if she would want to do that without her daughter,

599
00:25:42,799 --> 00:25:44,279
because even though she's like kind of evil, you would

600
00:25:44,279 --> 00:25:47,480
assume she still loves her daughter influences her in her life.

601
00:25:48,759 --> 00:25:50,319
But I don't know, maybe she maybe her goal is

602
00:25:50,319 --> 00:25:52,200
like I'm gonna make I'm gonna go back into this

603
00:25:52,279 --> 00:25:54,240
world and make it better before I send my daughter out.

604
00:25:54,279 --> 00:25:54,759
Speaker 2: I'm not sure.

605
00:25:54,759 --> 00:25:56,920
Speaker 1: So I guess we could get some of those reveals.

606
00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:02,240
That's that's possible. I could come down down the pipeline here. Yeah,

607
00:26:02,279 --> 00:26:06,880
and then yeah, I guess the way this this sequence

608
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:10,160
ends is that he turns on her. He hits her

609
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:13,680
with like a trank dart, which is kind of set

610
00:26:13,759 --> 00:26:16,799
up by Yeah, this random character who's going through the

611
00:26:16,799 --> 00:26:20,079
wasteland who is in love with a robot, very fallout

612
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:25,039
kind of storyline there gets clubbed by McClain gets and

613
00:26:25,079 --> 00:26:26,240
I think they did a really good job with a

614
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:29,079
sequence where he's in like the dunehand machine thing, and

615
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:31,519
then we get the classic the camera like zooms out

616
00:26:31,759 --> 00:26:33,880
to just show the window where so many times we've

617
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:36,839
seen the heads explode and the blood splatter on that window.

618
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:40,240
So the camera pulls out there, you get to ray

619
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:41,599
with the point's about to explode, and then you hear

620
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:43,119
like a nice little happy click, and then it like

621
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:45,440
zooms back in and obviously the experiment finally works. So

622
00:26:45,559 --> 00:26:47,160
I was about to be pissed if it was another

623
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:49,240
head exploded. I'm like, Okay, I feel like we've done

624
00:26:49,279 --> 00:26:52,279
this a few too many times, but they didn't. They worked,

625
00:26:52,319 --> 00:26:57,119
so that device. I guess this part's unclear, but it

626
00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:00,440
at least wipes your memory enough. You know, it's very

627
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:02,119
plot stuff where it's like, oh, you can still talk

628
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:04,079
and walk, you know, you can still do stuff, but

629
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:05,720
you just don't remember what your life was before. He

630
00:27:05,759 --> 00:27:07,519
was very much like right on with that. I thought

631
00:27:07,559 --> 00:27:09,200
he was like in love with this robot and maybe

632
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:11,680
he'd want to continue that, but no, he's ready to

633
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:12,559
delete his life.

634
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:14,359
Speaker 2: And then is it.

635
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:17,119
Speaker 1: Mind control as well, because obviously we kind of saw

636
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:19,480
that with the rats. I couldn't really tell if he

637
00:27:19,519 --> 00:27:21,240
was mind controlling it or if this guy's just so

638
00:27:21,319 --> 00:27:24,000
naive because he had all his mind wiped that he

639
00:27:24,079 --> 00:27:26,759
was able that McLain was able to just like convince

640
00:27:26,839 --> 00:27:29,319
him persuade him to go do this thing where he

641
00:27:29,319 --> 00:27:31,599
has this ploy this trap with Howard and Lucy.

642
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:34,640
Speaker 3: I don't think there's any convincing him if you don't

643
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:35,640
put him to this machine.

644
00:27:36,279 --> 00:27:36,400
Speaker 1: Uh.

645
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:38,039
Speaker 2: That's so that's out the window.

646
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:39,400
Speaker 1: I think that is a part of it, right, the

647
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:40,000
mind control?

648
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:47,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, so I guess losing memory of when you

649
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:48,839
were a kid and everything up to like the year

650
00:27:48,839 --> 00:27:51,799
two thousand, So that's just a that's a side effect

651
00:27:52,319 --> 00:27:56,920
I guess of just the being taken over and whatnot,

652
00:27:57,079 --> 00:27:59,240
so you're forgetting everything. Because I was just like if

653
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:01,839
it felt like this was just something new that McLain

654
00:28:02,039 --> 00:28:04,319
was just trying to instill, where it's like, Okay, I'm

655
00:28:04,319 --> 00:28:06,839
trying to finish off this technology where we're controlling people.

656
00:28:06,839 --> 00:28:09,039
But really like, okay, like there's this other kind of

657
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:11,440
con here where you just forget everything about who you

658
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:16,400
are and whatnot. But yeah, I was just it felt

659
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:18,799
like it was just something else that he was working

660
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,400
on and working towards. And I guess in the greater

661
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:24,599
aspect of things, like Okay, this this chip will be

662
00:28:24,759 --> 00:28:29,319
used for something else entirely, right, whatever that is, I

663
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:33,440
don't know yet, but I like seeing the sales guy

664
00:28:33,519 --> 00:28:35,720
back in here. He just ever since that first season,

665
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:38,319
he just kind of cracked me up, and him getting

666
00:28:38,839 --> 00:28:42,440
his little robot girlfriend and whatnot, and like calling the

667
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,880
guy like, hey, you little like what did what did

668
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:47,920
he say? Something pervert or people?

669
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's like go hiding the shrubs or if you

670
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:53,440
want to want to yeah, yeah.

671
00:28:52,039 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, So that cracked me up.

672
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, And then the ending of this sequence is yeah,

673
00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:59,799
of course Howard actually shoots her with the trank, but

674
00:28:59,839 --> 00:29:01,240
she still has a little bit of fight left in

675
00:29:01,319 --> 00:29:04,160
her uses the power fist to punch Howard out the window,

676
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:07,680
and he lands on a pole and gets stabbed severe.

677
00:29:07,799 --> 00:29:10,200
I don't know that's considered as stabbing, but yeah, he

678
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:12,519
got skewered. I'll I guess I'll put it that way,

679
00:29:12,839 --> 00:29:15,559
and then she finally passes out and she's as she's

680
00:29:15,559 --> 00:29:18,400
like having that final moment before it kicks in, she

681
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:20,359
sees her her dad there. He's come to come to

682
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:24,160
grab her. So yeah, I guess what like predictions where

683
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:26,640
what's gonna happen to both these characters, because that's obviously

684
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:28,599
not dead. He's you know, he's a ghoul, so he'll

685
00:29:28,599 --> 00:29:31,960
bounce back from this. Uh, we have to assume he

686
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:36,400
still wants to go in. I guess his primary motivation

687
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:38,200
is still probably his family, but I also feel like

688
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:42,000
he probably feels bad about Lucy's stuff maybe, uh, and

689
00:29:42,039 --> 00:29:44,599
that's why he's gonna go in there to find her

690
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:46,440
as well. I assume it's gonna be both of those things, right,

691
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:48,799
He's gonna have a hero moment where he's like, oh,

692
00:29:48,839 --> 00:29:50,960
I actually came to save you, but I also need

693
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:52,519
to get my wife and daughter or something like that.

694
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.

695
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:58,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, some kind of little redemption narrative I'm sure would

696
00:29:58,279 --> 00:29:59,640
make the most sense because.

697
00:29:59,359 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 2: Like he.

698
00:30:02,799 --> 00:30:05,519
Speaker 3: Like I was almost thinking, like, is an hallucination that

699
00:30:05,559 --> 00:30:08,319
Lucy's having with Hank just appearing there, because it doesn't

700
00:30:08,359 --> 00:30:11,759
seem like it's really real. And I feel like, if

701
00:30:12,559 --> 00:30:16,480
she does get taken by Hank, then what's the point

702
00:30:16,559 --> 00:30:18,799
for Howard to go and pursue it, because it's like, well,

703
00:30:19,079 --> 00:30:21,359
they got the daughter and whatnot, that's the deal. Like

704
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:23,079
that just means that my family would be safe. I

705
00:30:23,119 --> 00:30:26,640
can leave them behind. So something needs to pull him

706
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:28,720
in there. And maybe it is the fact that Lucy

707
00:30:28,839 --> 00:30:33,640
just went popping off on him and knocking him out

708
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:37,359
and he's just like, uh, I don't know, regretting.

709
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 2: The decision out of sympathy or something like that.

710
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:43,319
Speaker 3: Because each I won't say each episode, but a lot

711
00:30:43,359 --> 00:30:45,680
of these episodes are just kind of rebuilding his humanity

712
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:47,759
a little bit more to the point where he just

713
00:30:47,799 --> 00:30:50,400
had to get black out drunk because he couldn't handle it.

714
00:30:51,839 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 1: Yeah.

715
00:30:52,039 --> 00:30:53,599
Speaker 2: I don't know if that answers the question.

716
00:30:53,759 --> 00:30:56,359
Speaker 1: Yeah it does, I mean. And then also, like, so

717
00:30:57,319 --> 00:31:01,160
is Lucy going into Vaultech until the Vaultech base whatever

718
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:04,079
with McLean or is he actually sending her back to

719
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:06,119
the vault. I feel like he probably wouldn't do that

720
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:07,920
because he'd assumed she would just break out again and

721
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:10,839
like do her stuff, unless he mind wipes her, which

722
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:12,519
I guess would be Maybe that's one of the things

723
00:31:12,559 --> 00:31:13,559
he wants to do with her.

724
00:31:13,799 --> 00:31:14,480
Speaker 2: Which would be fun.

725
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 3: I think, yeah, he's bringing her into his main vault

726
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:19,279
for management there for sure.

727
00:31:19,759 --> 00:31:23,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so too. So Howard's on his on

728
00:31:23,839 --> 00:31:27,079
his own to take out these death Claws and get

729
00:31:27,119 --> 00:31:30,119
in there, do you think or or does he pow wow?

730
00:31:30,359 --> 00:31:34,119
Does he meet up with Maximus? That's probably what it is, right,

731
00:31:34,119 --> 00:31:36,920
He probably meets up with Maximus and then Maximus and him.

732
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:41,319
He's probably go, yeah, Lucy's alive. You got to help

733
00:31:41,359 --> 00:31:43,400
me save her, under the guise of like wow, he

734
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:45,160
does maybe want to save her, but mostly to like

735
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:47,720
get into Voltech. That's that's probably what happens, right.

736
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 2: That makes sense. Yeah, I can see that. That makes sense.

737
00:31:50,279 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so yeah, that's that's gonna be cool. Uh,

738
00:31:55,839 --> 00:31:58,279
poor Lucy Man the amount of time she has been

739
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:01,400
knocked out and take in somewhere, Like we had Kaiser's

740
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:06,759
lesion earlier this season, we had the I guess it's

741
00:32:06,759 --> 00:32:09,480
a little bit different, but like that experimental vault by

742
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:13,720
Sunny Sandy Shores or whatever with all the facial experiments,

743
00:32:13,759 --> 00:32:16,400
like all the people had like weird you know, growing

744
00:32:16,839 --> 00:32:18,759
they only have one eye or they've extra nosed all

745
00:32:18,799 --> 00:32:21,079
these things, she got down and there some weird stuff

746
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:23,880
was happening. So yeah, she just had a really unlucky

747
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:25,160
go of it. But I guess that's just kind of

748
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:26,720
what followed is as a game as well, you just

749
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:29,000
find yourself in crazy scenarios one after another.

750
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:32,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think it's just kind of the the

751
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:35,119
mean factor too, in this world where it's the vaultweller

752
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:38,759
that kind of gets picked on, which again they're just

753
00:32:38,839 --> 00:32:40,799
kind of daft, And we see that again with I

754
00:32:40,799 --> 00:32:42,400
can't remember what her name is, but she's got her

755
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:45,400
friend and there's in the vault tech buildings like this

756
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:48,680
is my turf, and they just kind of scoff at

757
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:51,240
the vault dwellers because you just know what you're dealing with,

758
00:32:51,279 --> 00:32:51,920
this kind of.

759
00:32:53,359 --> 00:32:54,759
Speaker 2: I don't know, state of person.

760
00:32:55,160 --> 00:33:00,960
Speaker 1: M hm, Okay, what else I guess. Yeah. So mister

761
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:04,359
House or Robert House, we finally got more of him

762
00:33:04,519 --> 00:33:06,680
this week, quite a lot of him, him and Howard

763
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:09,480
in the before times at the Lucky thirty eight, his

764
00:33:09,519 --> 00:33:13,519
casino there without the kind of store, the background of

765
00:33:13,559 --> 00:33:15,920
the New Vegas stuff. How are you feeling about mister

766
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:18,160
House as a character, the kind of this plot line,

767
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:20,480
I'll say, and I love this stuff specifically in this

768
00:33:20,519 --> 00:33:21,119
episode too.

769
00:33:21,519 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 2: Is he actually a good guy?

770
00:33:24,319 --> 00:33:24,839
Speaker 1: A good guy?

771
00:33:25,319 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 2: Is he a good guy?

772
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:26,200
Speaker 1: No?

773
00:33:27,759 --> 00:33:30,039
Speaker 3: Okay, because then this where he's just preaching like, hey,

774
00:33:30,079 --> 00:33:31,480
I got to stop the end of the world and

775
00:33:31,519 --> 00:33:34,000
I got to take down the building up a missile

776
00:33:34,039 --> 00:33:37,680
defense system to stop everything, like all the nukes and whatnot.

777
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:40,480
And it's like, Okay, that seems like a good guy

778
00:33:40,519 --> 00:33:43,720
thing to do. But I just couldn't really gauge him

779
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:47,119
in his character because earlier on he mind controls this

780
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:49,519
guy to just kill his friends and whatnot.

781
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 2: And so yeah, yeah, I.

782
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:55,119
Speaker 3: Don't I don't know about him, but I like the

783
00:33:55,200 --> 00:34:00,400
idea that he's using this scientific mathematical numeracle equation to

784
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:01,640
kind of predict the future.

785
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:04,359
Speaker 2: I'm curious to see where that goes.

786
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:08,280
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, it's an interesting angle because you don't get

787
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:13,360
what's the word flashbacks in the game. He is a

788
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:15,679
character that's in and around the game, I'll say, without

789
00:34:15,679 --> 00:34:18,960
getting specific about how he's in the game, but yeah, like,

790
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:20,880
you don't see this version of him. So it's fun

791
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:22,920
for me to get this because he is an integral

792
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:26,360
part of the story and lore of Fallowing New Vegas specifically,

793
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:28,480
and so it's been nice to finally get a little

794
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:32,840
bit more of him here. He's I don't know. I

795
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:34,880
think a lot of the characters in this show are

796
00:34:35,559 --> 00:34:37,119
over the top, right, And I think for me that

797
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:41,639
works with like goofy little characters who broken are taking

798
00:34:41,679 --> 00:34:45,039
over Sonny's shop. It works for like that weird shopkeeper

799
00:34:45,079 --> 00:34:47,039
guy who is in love with the robot. But I

800
00:34:47,039 --> 00:34:49,079
don't know if it's working for me when like mister

801
00:34:49,119 --> 00:34:52,119
House is going all evil, maniacal villain and he's like

802
00:34:52,199 --> 00:34:54,880
yelling at Howard, who's like getting in the elevators, like

803
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:57,000
why are you here? All this stuff? It just seemed

804
00:34:57,559 --> 00:35:00,360
a bit much for my liking in term of just

805
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:04,599
the I guess, the way. I guess just the way

806
00:35:04,639 --> 00:35:07,119
he decided to act in that situation. Whether he was

807
00:35:07,119 --> 00:35:09,079
directed to go that way, I'm not exactly sure, but

808
00:35:09,199 --> 00:35:11,639
I guess the performance just wasn't totally believable for me,

809
00:35:12,199 --> 00:35:13,960
and it kind of like, I feel like there was

810
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:18,440
a mysterious slash intimidating factor that he had in the

811
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:20,800
other episodes that we've seen him in, and this time

812
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:22,960
he just felt like a little too zany for me,

813
00:35:23,119 --> 00:35:26,719
so we'll see. And I guess there's interesting kind of

814
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:29,199
Easter Egg reference in this episode with him that I

815
00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:31,480
guess I won't spoil for like game purpose reasons, but

816
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:35,519
it was cool to see his kind of headquarters there

817
00:35:35,519 --> 00:35:37,920
in the Lucky thirty eight And yeah, I get some

818
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:40,599
of that in Vegas pre War because we haven't. You

819
00:35:40,599 --> 00:35:42,400
don't see that in the game either, right, you never

820
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:45,159
go back there. So yeah, I guess I'm feeling this

821
00:35:45,199 --> 00:35:46,559
was one of the storylines that I was a little

822
00:35:46,559 --> 00:35:49,480
bit lesser on in this episode. I am again still

823
00:35:49,519 --> 00:35:51,840
careous to see where it goes, but I don't know.

824
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:53,719
I guess it just I've been waiting so many weeks

825
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:55,480
to see this character again and I didn't love what

826
00:35:55,599 --> 00:35:57,119
I what I got in this one.

827
00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:01,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, well that's fair and I can agree with that.

828
00:36:01,679 --> 00:36:05,360
Speaker 1: M and I guess. The last story and then we

829
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:08,559
haven't really touched on is norm the brother and the

830
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:12,960
crew that have broken out of cryogenics. They find a Vaultech,

831
00:36:13,639 --> 00:36:17,559
an empty abandoned vautech building different than the one that uh,

832
00:36:17,559 --> 00:36:20,360
what's his name is in? McLean is in and this

833
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:23,119
one has another another Yeah shot Peper from before is

834
00:36:23,119 --> 00:36:26,039
shopkeeper from season one, who I think is like probably

835
00:36:26,039 --> 00:36:27,840
an episode two or three or something like that. She's

836
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:29,320
pretty early on. I remember she was like in the

837
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:32,000
trailers and stuff like that. She has an encounter with

838
00:36:32,079 --> 00:36:34,639
Lucy in that in that season, I think, Howard comes

839
00:36:34,679 --> 00:36:36,559
into town and shoots kills a bunch of people something

840
00:36:36,639 --> 00:36:38,000
like that. So I guess which is why she I

841
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:40,280
can't remember the exact reason, but I guess that's why

842
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:42,800
she left that town that she was in. And she's

843
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:45,440
hold up here in this Voltech building with her girlfriend

844
00:36:45,519 --> 00:36:47,480
or wife or something like that, and they have a

845
00:36:47,599 --> 00:36:49,159
they have a roach farm. This is just kind of

846
00:36:49,159 --> 00:36:53,039
their headquarters, headbase. And yeah, they connect with with Norm

847
00:36:53,199 --> 00:36:55,960
and she has some innocuous what seems like innocuous comment

848
00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:58,800
about like another vaultweller and then Norm's like, ooh, another vultweller.

849
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:01,039
Who could that be an? And then we then the

850
00:37:01,039 --> 00:37:02,719
scene like cuts and then we come back and it's

851
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:06,400
kind of it's kind of insinuated that obviously she informed

852
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:08,760
him that like, Okay, well, yeah, I've met your sister

853
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:12,519
Lucy and she's probably dead and he doesn't believe that. Uh,

854
00:37:12,679 --> 00:37:16,280
And then yeah, we get another sequence at the end,

855
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:18,719
I guess with the with when he's getting like choked out, right,

856
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:20,440
and that's the end of the episode, right.

857
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:21,400
Speaker 2: That's the end.

858
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:23,559
Speaker 3: And it fooled me because I thought, for sure, Okay,

859
00:37:23,559 --> 00:37:25,519
his new lady friend's gonna come back with the bottle

860
00:37:25,519 --> 00:37:28,800
of alcohol, smash it on this guy's head and save Norm.

861
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:33,360
But h yeah, it went kind of sideways because he

862
00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:36,320
I thought he was gonna actually kill the brother, but no,

863
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:36,800
he didn't.

864
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:38,920
Speaker 2: He just incapacitated him, knocked him out.

865
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:42,480
Speaker 3: It's like, okay, so we're gonna we're gonna see where

866
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:44,639
this kind of goes. But I like everything that girl

867
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:47,719
was telling him, like, hey, these people gave their lives

868
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:49,400
to this, right, like they believe in it, and so

869
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:51,960
if you tell them like you killed their boss, they're

870
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:55,800
gonna it's gonna rock their world, right, They're gonna be devastated.

871
00:37:57,039 --> 00:38:01,719
Speaker 1: Mm hmm, yeah, absolutely. Uh So I like this sequence.

872
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:03,719
I like what's going on with Norm and it finally

873
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:05,920
feels like I mean, he has not had a lot

874
00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:07,840
of screen time, and that whole storyline is kind of

875
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:10,800
lesser screen time of the season for the most part.

876
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:12,679
We got a little bit early on, and so I

877
00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:15,719
like that for me, if it's been if it's felt

878
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:19,000
very aimless as well, like just kind of beingandering from

879
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:21,280
place to place and not seeing it very often, might

880
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:23,800
go an episode without it, but finally it feels like, Okay,

881
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:26,519
we're actually at a convergence point. I don't know how close.

882
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:30,320
I don't know how close they are. Presumably they're still

883
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:32,639
very far away from Vegas, right, because that's been a

884
00:38:32,639 --> 00:38:35,480
whole journey for Lucy. And also that shopkeeper from season

885
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:38,400
one was also nowhere near Vegas, right, So I don't know,

886
00:38:38,519 --> 00:38:40,039
Like I don't know if this is like a by

887
00:38:40,079 --> 00:38:42,880
the end of the season they reconnect thing. This could

888
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:45,360
still be a path we're on until season three. Maybe

889
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:47,719
that would be my prediction, because I feel like we

890
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:51,599
have enough in these last three episodes of just Maximus

891
00:38:51,639 --> 00:38:53,320
reconnecting with Lucy. I don't know if we'll also do

892
00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:54,639
that with the brothers, so maybe that's like a next

893
00:38:54,679 --> 00:38:56,159
season thing, which would be kind of crazy if we

894
00:38:56,199 --> 00:38:59,679
go that whole season without them interacting at all. If

895
00:38:59,679 --> 00:39:01,559
we do get a certain third season, which I forget

896
00:39:01,599 --> 00:39:02,960
is if that's like officially confirmed.

897
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:05,440
Speaker 2: I thought they initially officially announced it. Yeah, yeah, I.

898
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:07,440
Speaker 1: Feel like they I feel like they probably did, so

899
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:09,760
I could see something like that happening. But again, as

900
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:11,519
I talked about I think last week could Travis on

901
00:39:11,559 --> 00:39:14,159
these episodes, like I feel like there's not a lot

902
00:39:14,199 --> 00:39:17,159
of care and attention given to like how long it

903
00:39:17,159 --> 00:39:19,119
takes to get from place to place, Like there's definitely

904
00:39:19,199 --> 00:39:21,760
some fast traveling going on, which again a very video game.

905
00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:24,400
He is fine, but normally when you video when you

906
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:25,800
fast travel in the game, it's like, oh, yeah, three

907
00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:28,039
days have passed, it just doesn't like change anything because

908
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:31,760
it's a bethes the game. But uh, yeah, I like

909
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:33,159
what we have going on here because at least it

910
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:36,239
feels like, okay, well we can foresee like convergence point

911
00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:39,559
where we're gonna be uh set up with Norm has

912
00:39:39,599 --> 00:39:41,320
some sort of clue of where he where Lucy went.

913
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:42,639
I don't know how he'd really get that clue from

914
00:39:42,639 --> 00:39:44,559
the shopkeeper. You know, maybe she's just like, oh, yeah,

915
00:39:44,599 --> 00:39:47,000
she went west. It's like, okay, well you go west

916
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:49,639
far enough you end up in Vegas, I suppose, But yeah,

917
00:39:49,639 --> 00:39:51,480
there's at least something there. So I like to see

918
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:53,719
some of that, And yeah, I still don't care much

919
00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:56,159
for like the rest of the crew here the other

920
00:39:56,159 --> 00:39:57,920
people have broke out, even like the girl that he's

921
00:39:58,079 --> 00:40:00,280
becoming friends with, and she gets like some emotional moments

922
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:02,039
where she keeps welling up of like thinking about her

923
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:04,039
what was her cat or her dog? I forget what

924
00:40:04,079 --> 00:40:07,159
it was. Yeah, puppy, her puppy from the before times

925
00:40:07,199 --> 00:40:09,840
that's no longer around all this stuff. So I don't know,

926
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:12,159
I'm not too invested in these characters yet. I do

927
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:14,800
like Norm, and I do want to I wish the

928
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:17,239
best for this poor guy, but uh, yeah, it seems

929
00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:18,559
like it might be a bit before we actually see

930
00:40:18,599 --> 00:40:21,679
him like interact with other main characters. But he's becoming

931
00:40:21,679 --> 00:40:23,440
more rugged, I feel like week to week, which is

932
00:40:23,639 --> 00:40:24,960
nice to see. It's fun to see.

933
00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:28,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, absolutely, yeah, Yeah, So I'm excited to see

934
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:30,880
where that's where it's going to continue on because I'm

935
00:40:31,119 --> 00:40:33,719
I'm starting to enjoy that narrative a little bit more

936
00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:35,400
than I am, at least with how things were going

937
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:36,639
with the character in the first season.

938
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:40,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely. Uh, anything that we have not covered here,

939
00:40:41,119 --> 00:40:42,400
mister Taylor joke.

940
00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:51,199
Speaker 3: No, I'm glad you mentioned earlier, just the Maximus and

941
00:40:51,559 --> 00:40:54,440
Lucy stuff, because yeah, that's totally just went over my

942
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:56,800
head that we didn't get them in this episode, and

943
00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:59,599
I'm curious when that's going to kind of tie back in,

944
00:40:59,599 --> 00:41:02,639
because I feel like the whole Brotherhood of Steal, like

945
00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:06,280
that's some serious shit going on, Like their whole foundation

946
00:41:06,519 --> 00:41:09,159
just collapsed, right, So it would be nice to get.

947
00:41:09,039 --> 00:41:10,400
Speaker 2: A little bit more insight on that.

948
00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:17,239
Speaker 3: I feel like we're gonna we're not what's the name

949
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:19,039
of that branch again, it was the one that wasn't

950
00:41:19,039 --> 00:41:21,320
invited to their meeting because they're so powerful.

951
00:41:21,679 --> 00:41:22,159
Speaker 2: I feel like.

952
00:41:22,159 --> 00:41:23,280
Speaker 1: Where came from.

953
00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:25,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Commonwealth branch.

954
00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:29,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I feel like we're not done with the Commonwealth.

955
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:33,800
I feel like they're gonna come back and yeah.

956
00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:35,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know.

957
00:41:35,199 --> 00:41:38,840
Speaker 1: I don't know what's gonna happen. Uh so just Maximus leaving,

958
00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:40,440
like maybe they just go hunt them down again, But

959
00:41:40,519 --> 00:41:43,440
I feel like we've done We've done that before, so

960
00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:44,840
I don't Yeah, I don't. I don't really know what's

961
00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:47,280
going on there, and not really even in the games,

962
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:49,800
like Brotherhood of Steal is not my that's not the

963
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:52,079
quest I'm usually hunting down when I want to pick

964
00:41:52,159 --> 00:41:54,639
up a Fallout game, So it's not really my favorite

965
00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:59,199
realm anyway. But yeah, anyway, anything else you're mister Field.

966
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:02,440
Speaker 2: No, I don't think so.

967
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:04,440
Speaker 1: Are you joining week to week now?

968
00:42:05,519 --> 00:42:08,199
Speaker 2: I think there's a high chance. Yeah, yeah, I will

969
00:42:08,199 --> 00:42:12,519
because you have three more three more episodes? So when

970
00:42:12,599 --> 00:42:14,519
is the finale? When does that put us in?

971
00:42:15,679 --> 00:42:20,880
Speaker 1: February fifth? That was a random shot in the dark.

972
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:27,199
How close was I.

973
00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:29,920
Speaker 2: February fourth? You're pretty close?

974
00:42:30,079 --> 00:42:33,880
Speaker 1: Oh, way to go. I'm not good for calendars.

975
00:42:34,119 --> 00:42:40,000
Speaker 2: That's that was sick you are now? Yeah, February fourth.

976
00:42:40,639 --> 00:42:42,719
Speaker 3: So I don't know if I'm going to be around

977
00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:44,440
for that one because I think I've got some scheduling

978
00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:45,000
stuff going on.

979
00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:45,840
Speaker 1: But I think.

980
00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:49,239
Speaker 2: The other two I like. I like my chances of

981
00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:50,320
being present for them.

982
00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:54,920
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, sounds good. Okay, thank you everyone for listening.

983
00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:58,480
Of course, we have a fallout discord or chat specifically

984
00:42:58,519 --> 00:43:00,519
in the discord people want to talk about the show.

985
00:43:00,559 --> 00:43:03,000
You also just drops them in the YouTube comments. We'll

986
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:05,639
see it. Thank you everyone for listening. We'll see you

987
00:43:05,679 --> 00:43:09,400
again next week. Bye bye bye
