    So what do people think of the characters?

    Oh right they did mention Wilzig was a fugitive from the Enclave. Which still begs the question of how they know that. Did the Enclave put their name and address for the bounty on all those wanted posters?

    So what do people think of the characters?

    We should at least see enough about the Brotherhood to know that somebody actually believes in - whatever they actually believe - in the first season. A story shouldn't leave practically every thread dangling except the two big twists that happened in the past and ruined the entire franchise...

    So what do people think of the characters?

    You're making assumptions about characters' beliefs based on nothing. None of the people you've listed express any kind of religious belief except Quintus, and he has to in order to perform his duties as cleric. Thaddeus speaks to 'Titus' in the subservient language of a squire, but that's...

    EFAP on Fallout

    I've been listening in and one of them has played the old games. I'm really looking for a critical opinion from somebody who knows practically nothing from the games and didn't like the show.

    So what do people think of the characters?

    You're missing the forest for the trees here. I'm talking about the whole faction as it's portrayed. Yes, of course there were non-believers and self-serving cynics among the crusaders, but everyone in the Brotherhood is a self-serving cynic. Nobody among the rank-and-file expresses any kind of...

    My review of Fallout: the Series Season One 9/10

    Fallout TV practically blames the end of the world on politics itself, as if the problem is an issue of perspective and collective action in general rather than the interests that compel people towards following the death drive of fascism. That's why I said "based on." Caesar practically says...

    So what do people think of the characters?

    See, you don't understand what the show is telling you. The lead farmers aren't part of NCR, they're wearing ranger armors to do their work, which is sifting for lead in the desert. Their use of the armor is pure costume, and ranger armors aren't featured again. Moldaver's goons don't even wear...

    My review of Fallout: the Series Season One 9/10

    What makes the Legion work is that it's based on actually existing historical societies (mostly Rome) and has a structure and political economy which is directly relevant to the material condition of the world. The Legion follows a brutal and Spartan logic to build civilization out of a brutal...

    Five Common Misconceptions about Fallout: The Series

    It's not a real thing that happened because nobody actually cares about it. The Vault 4 refugees talk a lot about Shady Sands but none of them mention the NCR. Not even the chalkboard in the classroom mentions the NCR it's strictly presented as the history of Shady Sands. The impression the show...

    My review of Fallout: the Series Season One 9/10

    It's nice that you choose to like the show and CHOOSE to be happy, however what you choose to believe should not be the basis of your arguments.

    Five Common Misconceptions about Fallout: The Series

    Everything in the show IS new though. The Brotherhood of Steel is the only thing from the games that's actually relevant. The NCR isn't treated like it was a real thing that actually happened. None of the factions that operated in Southern California are featured either. Did they all have a big...

    So what do people think of the characters?

    No dude, this is your headcanon. They don't say anything about the Bear or the NCR or anything like it. The NCR flag and the posters are just mementos. Nobody acts like the NCR was real. They talk about "Shady Sands" as if it was the same thing. You're filling in the blanks with your knowledge...

    Five Common Misconceptions about Fallout: The Series

    It was a bad idea to nuke Shady Sands because new viewers have no idea what the fuck it is and therefore won't care, and fans will feel slapped in the face because they destroyed the entire history of the west coast and rendered southern California terra nullius OFF SCREEN, so they could make a...

    Five Common Misconceptions about Fallout: The Series

    Based on everything we can see in the show, none of the endings are canonical. New Vegas was attacked by the Brotherhood or something so the independence endings don't matter. The Legion is nowhere to be seen so their endings don't matter. And obviously Shady Sands is nuked as soon as the dust...

    Five Common Misconceptions about Fallout: The Series

    It's not the production crew's job to get it right even if they know it's wrong. Their job is to follow orders and make it look like they're told, so why should they care? This was a creative decision that had to come down from above.

    So what do people think of the characters?

    Moldaver's followers worship her as their messiah and you think that means they want a democratic republic? They say that Moldaver will bring back Shady Sands and "blood must be spilled" to do it. You are injecting your headcanon into the blank spaces of the script.

    Five Common Misconceptions about Fallout: The Series

    Ok, serious question. Have you been diagnosed with schizophrenia or any other kind of disordered thinking? Because you keep carrying on conversations with something completely different than what people actually say.

    So what do people think of the characters?

    No it's not. The show does none of the things you claim. You're speculating a headcanon. You can tell that there's something wrong and you're trying to fill in the blanks based on your own imagination. You just have to accept that the writing is bad. The show says nothing about what Moldaver's...

    Five Common Misconceptions about Fallout: The Series

    It wasn't just the set designer, the end credits of an empty Shady Sands shows the last library cards dated for 2276, which means the production staff were all told that Shady Sands was nuked in 2277. The showrunners or whoever, made a continuity error, because they didn't even care enough to...

    So what do people think of the characters?

    IMO all the evidence the show presents about Moldaver points towards her actually being a Vault-Tec executive who was also a member of Bud's Buds. It would explain why Moldaver is so unnecessarily cagey about her relationship with Rose. Moldaver also doesn't have any healing factor or else her...
