WHAT is GOING ON? Fallout | 1x6 The Trap - REACTION! 

It's proof of how great music can add to a scene. Every reactor says it gives them the chills when they hear it 😊

Yes it does and everything just works! 🥰

Yeah, it's almost like Todd Howard and other developers from the games were helping with the production of the show!... Oh wait, they were.

That’s awesome

It's cool how the show does these one-offs with notable veteran actors, at least one per episode. Gives everyone from all generations that "Hey, I know that guy!" nostalgia.

🥰

I see what you did there! 😂 Well played... Well played

It was a great joke! if I was around, he'd not have had as much of a fallout for laughs with that great bomb of a joke! (yes, adding to the puns on purpose LOL)

It's definitely an explosive punchline

It certainly blew *me* away!

@@DomR1997 dynamite pun

Well, it came in a can so it might be safe to assume it was another pre-War food item. I hope. lol

lol To be fair though, in their world it would be wasteful to not use it if they produce eggs anyway. And honestly, is that really that much worse than actual fish eggs? Reminds me about the cow vs human milk debates & reactions.

that's some shady s***

So she had a theory and someone basically confirmed it, thereby making it a spoiler? That more or less the picture here?

You're very right! I feel at this point, ESPECIALLY after the Super-Duper Mart with the "Golden rule, Motherf-er" was what really instilled a turning point in The Ghoul to bridge the gap between him and Cooper Howard. That, pogniated by Coop seeing himself sell out in that movie where he shot the guy. He also was protecting her, in his own way, during Episode 4, too, when he is taunting her with the water he is drinking. He poors it out in front of her when she asks for a drink, seemingly petulantly and cruely. But the way he scoops the "probably animal pee" water and drinks it before she finally gives in, shows he doesn't care about irradiated water, and wanted her to see that "he is right" and that she should become hardened like him. Plus, spoiler-side, he knows Lucy and has investment in her family in a way already, as she is techinally a tie to the old world via her Father. The way he just wholeheartedly took the blame shows just what you said, he was protecting her. At the lowest end of caring, he is just paying her back --- she saved him, and he owes her. But, I feel this was an illustration of him getting back to who he used to be. When he flips out and empties the clips in the guys, I think that not only was him retaliating at their disrespect and letting out his anger of being toyed with about his search for his family, I think he also was re-asserting his dominant and violent self TO himself, as he did just like literally altruistically essentially help Lucy. This show is amazing!

He didnt do it to protect her. He did it ut if arrogance and wasnt scared of the punks threatening him. He literally sold her into capitivity after he had already known who she was. He doesnt care about her. He cares about himself and finding out what happened to his family. That's it. The Ghoul is evil. He's no longer Cooper from pre war. He might get there eventually.

Yes, Thank you!

the best fallout

Yep, that instant change to extreme defensiveness after a simple and understandable question triggered my gaslighting alert. All I heard was my mother telling me why I should be grateful I have food and clothes.

​@@MontgomeryWenisI feel you -- the same red flags popped up for me as well. I'm glad I'm not the only one!

​@@MontgomeryWenisYou can definitely tell she's manipulating him from the start. I wouldn't surprised if her 'love' for him was in the same mentality of Hank's "protection" of Lucy from her Mother; Barb just cared about getting with the biggest movie star in Fallout-America and have the poster boy to spread her propaganda. You can tell she was more than happy lying to him about the Jumpsuit giving protection from Rads.

@@MontgomeryWenis Why is being told to be grateful for what you have gaslighting or a red flag? Someone had to work for all of it. Someone had to make it. Someone has to maintain all the infrastructure that supports it. All so it could be handed to you for free as a child. You SHOULD be grateful you have even the basics, considering the hundreds of millions of people who don't.

@@rmartinson19 That was a lot of assuming on your part. The commenter isn't required to tell us their life story, and I can tell you from experience that the kind of thing they are talking about has more to do with "Don't ask me for anything more, I don't care that much about you" than it does with teaching a child to be grateful.

That IS an awesome sweater

"Don't knock it until you've tried it." Yours truly, The President of the Govermint

Tandi and Moldavaer are not thevsame oerson nor are related..we meet Tandi as a teenager in FO1 then as an old woman whose president of NCR.

I wouldn't say there are major retcons. Sure, Shady Sands moved, but Fallout 1's map was notoriously terrible for the actual locations of places, and things changed from 1 to 2 also. Everything, event-wise, is still the same with just new stuff added. But yeah, I agree that they probably movved it for the sake of verisimilitude

Retcons are a staple of the series. Fallout 2 was notorious at the time for retconning several things from Fallout 1. One being the location of Vault 13, which is in a wildly different location between the two games.

​@@Tattle-by-TaleIndeed! Tim Cain himself makes it very clear that "Lore Drift" is a natural part of an ongoing series.

@@Tattle-by-Tale They just shifted the map north in 2. Whereas the military base, Vault 13, Shady Sands, and Vault 15 were at the very north end of the map in 1, they're at the very south in 2 but their positions on the "earth" are the same. 1 and 2 used a 1:1 map of the real region

@@Tattle-by-Tale Yep. All those armchair "canon purists" dropping comments everywhere on YT when the show came out were hilarious. Adjusting the core storyline was practically a necessity with something like Fallout. And don't get me started on how the Fallout universe "should" canonically be part of the Star Trek universe. Let's see how those NV ultrafangirl purists try and chew their way around that one lol.

Imagine playing any Fallout with low INT. INT is how you get XP.

@@charlesmiv3842 the are a lot of low INT gameplays, is just for fun. but yeah, it's hard, i saw part of one low INT gameplay from FO1 and the player couldn't even access to missions because the character just replied with "wwwruuuu?" or "aaaurrrrgggg" or stuff like that and the NPCs mocked them xd

​@@charlesmiv3842Hehehe indeed! The extra stats from dumping INT can get ya three other high stats, though, instead of 2, which is enticing hahaha. But yeah, I've done very few low INT runs

​@@felipeaquitralHahaha They aren't great for a 'proper' playthrough, but are very fun to mess with! What I love is how what people will say will change for you being dumb. Like, they'll explain a whole quest and stuff (more in 3 and up) but like in a super childish way to accommodate you hahahaha. The best is the few times they give you a character who speaks with you in high English, and you also get competent lines, because you're both stupid and can communciate adroitly with each other LOL

No, she was a respected scientist and was targeted by Vault-Tec. Remember, she said they started buying up every company she ever worked for. It's most likely she was given a cryotank because her scientific achievements made her worthy of management after the bombings.

I disagree on her being a clone. My money would be on something with the word “cryo” in it.

@@Bishop228 Yeah thats the most likely, but im not counting out some plot twist in the future.

Cloning would be interesting, but I believe they give away what the real method is during the outro credits scene on Episode 8; she was in a Cryo Chamber within the Lucky Tops Casino I think it is called. They show a broken billboard showing the advertisement for the cryo pods, and this was not in the games but is new lore. So I'm pretty sure that's the case. Maybe she worked with Mr. House against Vault-Tec, or just found her way into the pods in New Vegas around when things went down etc.

@@BigCowProductions I assume we'll find out in due time. which will take a couple of years, at the very least. Sigh!

me too , cant stop , help

Yes. That is what we learn in *the next episode*

@@KatSonny OK, I'll be patient, just working off Fallout lore from the game about the different vaults, waiting to watch 7-8 with my son who is overseas at the moment, we enjoyed the game together so will watch the show together possibly over the weekend, always love your reactions.

Only a few scenes were shot in Africa. I believe the bulk of it was filmed in New York.

This was probably one of the best epsiodes of the season, and one of the main foundations to every story being told throughout the show

can i ask you something? why do you always comment the same thing and "42"? what does it mean? is it an inside joke, perhaps? :c

I considered it to be a hybrid of the OG Vault reactor and how in Fallout 4 theres the Fusion Generators you find but a lot of Vaults could've been made differently especially since they were built at different times bu different companies sometimes over the 10 years before the war

@@rubenlopez3364 You couldnt possibly run an entire vault on a single fusion core. They just arent that powerful. The US army used to go through tons of them for each t45 power armour during operation anchorage. If a power armour goes through that many then you could run something as big as a vault on a single fusion core even with a huge supply of them they would be replaced every hour assuming they could output enough power to even work at all. Also as i said it simply doesnt exist that way in the games. They screwed up the writing there.

Is there a terminal or something about the cores running empty at anchoring for each individual set of power armour? I thought it was pretty obvious that the drain rate in 4 was purely for gameplay purposes and they could last centuries.
