Fallout S1 E7, E8

Spoilers

“The Radio”

“The Beginning”

I ended the first season of Fallout with the final two episodes of this video game adaptation. The first season, which absolutely ended with a set-up for season two, was great, and I would be excited to see a second season and spend more time with these characters.

Lucy arrived to rescue her father, Hank, but she was not too happy to discover the truth. Hank was the driving force of destroying the city of Shady Sands. The confrontation between Lucy and Hank was intense and tough to watch, mainly because I did not want to be rooting against Kyle MacLachlan.

Maximus may have finally won me over. He has taken a serious journey this season and, since leaving the vault, Maximus has done some awesome things. Plus, we learn that he did not sabotage the shoes of his friend. I liked how he and Lucy’s relationship developed. It felt earned and helped me feel more for Maximus.

The Ghoul and his back story continued as he discovered that his wife was behind a bunch of the original issues 200 years before. But in the present, he still does not know what has happened to his family.

Norm is on his way to discovering the truth about his father as well as he has manipulated his way into Vault 31 and discovered a weird brain in a mobile jar. It speaks too in a slightly funny tone. This was an odd set of scenes with Norm in Vault 31. It was not what I was expecting.

Still not sure what Betty wants with sending a group of the people to Vault 32. I hope that is another story to build in the second season.
