Fallout s2 finale

(spoilers ahead!)

I’ve sort of shut up a bit about Fallout recently because there’s so much else going on but I really do love it. Everything about the finale was perfect, all the actors were at the top of their game, and there were DEATHCLAWS! (Those were PUPPETS!) Shout-out to the New Vegas opening cutscene reference too! Chills, guys.

There’s one hell of a lot in play for season 3. Looks like it’ll be Lucy and Maximus in Vegas fighting the Legion with the Ghoul in Colorado. It’s a shame that separates the Ghoul from the other characters but on the other hand maybe that means less Ghoulcy on my tumblr dash. (Sorry.) I hope Macaulay Culkin has a bigger role in s3 because he was so hyped up for this one but he was barely in it in the end! And I hope Ron Perlman’s Super Mutant (does he have a name?) shows up again too.

LASTLY, I so badly want Lucy’s yellow dress! I can’t find it anywhere to buy but I would love to cosplay in it!

Fallout season 2 premiere

I probably should have rewatched season 1 before jumping into this because I forgot some finer points of the story. I still loved it though! I love Lucy so much, she’s literally me, and I REALLY loved seeing Novac, which was my favourite location in New Vegas. And with bonus “Big Iron” as well!


(Wait they changed the position of the dino! WHY? That’s how you shoot that treacherous witch Jeannie during One For My Baby!)

It’s just been so fun for me seeing these things in live-action. When we saw the Overseer’s office in Vault 32 I remember thinking, I’ve made those offices piece by piece in Fallout 4 and installed my own overseers! I just love knowing that it all exists in real life I guess

Fallout season 2 traaaaailer


My beloved apocalypse show is nearly back! New Vegas looks PERFECT. Mr House also looks PERFECT (although I imagine the original actor must be pretty pissed off he got recast). DEATHCLAW! I’m so happy to see a Deathclaw. My favorite part of New Vegas was the bit where you can climb the massive crane and shoot Deathclaws from the top of it.

bunny–manders:

Thinking about how each protagonist in the Fallout TV show believes themselves to be the last true American because each of them is a different kind of American myth. Is being an American all about getting to be the lone gunslinger who exists in a world without rules or limitations? Is it about being controlled by a corporation in a hyper-consumptive society that only gives you the illusion of free choice? Is it about being in control of such overwhelmingly dominant military technology that you believe your power grants you the responsibility of being the world’s moral authority? Let’s do some drugs about it.

Fallout

The TV series of a game series I’ve loved for half my life is finally here and I can’t get over how good it is. I love Lucy and relate to her weird ways and too-precise manner of speaking very much indeed. The constant monsters and blood-splatter are very entertaining. But most of all I love how much LOVE is in this show. Everything from the costumes to the tiniest details of the set design really does feel like Fallout come to life.


To give just one small example, that picture to the left of Lucy is a picture you can hang on the walls in the Fallout games. (I think the clock is as well, actually.) That’s a detail no-one would have minded if they left out but it’s in there anyway. God we were so lucky with this show.
