it took a total conversion to make Skyrim good. A little game called Enderal.

No it does not, thank God. I'm sure they probably wanted to feature it but that would have been a lot of budget for minimal payoff.

Every reference to the west coast games runs about as deep as a pimple. It's all fanservice easter eggs and none of it actually matters. Pre-war conspirators act out of character and don't even represent the interests of the companies they're agents of. These are props set up for you to feel a...

According to the interviews I've read, Jon Nolan claims Wagner was the real Fallout fan of the big 3 creatives. In another interview, Wagner says that he had to turn off the part of his brain that said "you can't do that" so he could let Nolan and Robertson-Dworet run wild with turning southern...

Fallout 3 still had all of its influences drawn from the original games, so it got a few things right. Like the fascist art deco architecture, for one. The TV show, like Fallout 4, cuts out almost everything from the original games. It's like they never happened.

You CAN see individual reviews through RottenTomatoes it just takes some digging. You have to pull up the page for the season to get the reviews, not the show itself. https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/fallout/s01/reviews Here's a good one...

Five full pages of notes on this one episode alone, and two more to go. Lord help me.

making slow but steady progress on re-reviewing the Nolanverse episodes. Episode 1 is longer than all the rest so it's taking awhile, but it's nice to take more time to go over details and incorporate everything known after a closer viewing and all the interviews.

Pulpy sci-fi is just a setup for exploring ideas, in the way that the original Fallouts did. It doesn't matter if the science is realistic, it just has to work. The science in Fallout tv doesn't work at all, produces inconsistent results, and is basically just a magical device for making the...

Cooper doesn't ask for a specific number IIRC, he says he's exchanging a healthy woman for 2 months' supply.

Making ghoul juice with the prisoners is what I thought they were doing, but they never actually say that or acknowledge anything about it. The whole organ harvesting operation also doesn't make sense, because who is buying all of these organs? How are they being transported without spoiling...

The vaults are sticking out of the ground because the writers don't understand how the vaults work and never played the original games. Vault 33's entrance door is right along the coastline as the most identifiable landmark to anyone walking on the beach. It's totally ridiculous. Reg has a line...

There isn't any ghoul organ harvesting going on. Cooper tries selling Lucy's organs for two months' supply of vials. Which is ridiculous if you think about it because it means the market demands 6 human lives for a ghoul to stay sentient for one year, and if the vials are that precious then how...

Shady Sands refugees went through the trap door, single-file.

Yeah, like I said it's not their backyard. Their backyards are literally within the walled garden.

Appalachia is not their backyard, that's why the mining companies keep busting out dig sites and leaving locals to clean up the mess for generations to come. They don't give a shit. They've got mansions in northern Virginia and New England where all that mining money flows. You don't even...

They do not ask for any investment. They offer the vaults in exchange for conspiring to start the Great War. Those are the facts. Period.

Bud also denies that they need the money, and he doesn't ask for any. Vault-Tec's business model is based on the THREAT of a nuclear war. The government contracts are already paid. They don't get a payoff for starting the war. They're only doing this because Vault-Tec has some kind of dumbass...

They actually shot at an air force warehouse, but same difference. Big Mt was also constructed beneath a mountain peak with many of its facilities being subterranean, like the warehouse in the show, and its rough location would put it in range of the Sierra Nevada mountains. It's definitely high...

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/fallout/images/1/1c/FOTV_Enclave_research_colony_01.png/revision/latest?cb=20240418132900 So not necessarily a "dome" but there IS a glass and steel canopy that keeps the facility from being exposed directly to the elements. When Wilzig escapes the outside is...
