Notice, the finger Cooper sews onto his hand isn't his- it's Lucy's. The one he cut off in ep.4 (after she bit his off). I think there's some hidden storytelling going on there. The mercy and kindness Lucy showed him near the end of ep.4 rubbed off on him. He's still a ruthless S.O.B, but maybe a little bit less so. Lucy saving him, after everything he did to her (plus seeing the videotape of the man he once was) helped him get just the tinyest bit of his humanity back, and now his trigger finger is Lucy's actual finger. She affected him psychologically, and now she's literally a physical part of him.

Can I just say how much I appreciate that your videos don't just end with the credits? The fact that you take the time afterwards to review and reflect on your thoughts and make predictions is so fantastic. Not enough people know how to consciously consume media and make meaning from it, and very few creators have the confidence to just let it be them and their thoughts on screen for the final 1/3 of the video. Well done!

Bit of background information: Every vault had a water purification control chip so they were able to use pure water. The water chip from Vault 33 was destroyed - see reaction of episode 3, 22:29 - so they're going to need another water chip or they run out of fresh clean water. Cooper / Ghoul has used the T-45 power armor, which was deployed to stop the Chinese Invasion in Alaska. The T-51 followed years later, which was the main reason why the USA has won the Battle of Anchorage against China as you're literally able to wield a minigun with such a power armor. It was also used to keep down riots in the USA and was replaced by the T-60's. And yes, some people are trying to bring a goverment back into the wasteland. The New California Republic was one example.

The Ghoul's dialogue is SOO GOOD in this episode.

The dark hair lady in vault 5 that said her mother was a courier was an Easter egg for new vegas. In most all of the fallout games you play someone that lived in the vault. But new vegas you play a courier who's job is to move packages around like a wasteland mailman.

The house they are in is the house he does the Birthday party for. His home lost in the divorce becomes the place he is standing at in the bomb scene.

See, the idea that Vault-Tech needs or wants the bombs to fall is the one major problem I have with the series, because if you think it through, that makes no sense. Selling spots in the vaults is like selling insurance. And if you know anything about how insurance works, you would know that, while insurance companies certainly want you to worry about bad things happening, they don't actually WANT bad things to happen. Because if the bad things actually happen, that is when the insurance companies have to pay up. That is when they lose money. Same goes for nuclear apocalypse. Nuclear apocalypse essentially means the end of profits. Vault-tec goes from building and selling vault space, to having to make good on taking care of all these survivors, in perpetuity, when economy no longer exists.

@NickWalkerWilliamson

26 күн бұрын

i like this angle and never thought about it this way! i do view it a little differently than insurance though because unlike with insurance where the concept of general danger/risk is always an inevitability throughout life, nuclear threat could drop to a level that makes the vaults unnecessary. if the peace negotiations go through (like they were said to be on the verge of) and cold war threats settle down enough, then the company could be at such a net loss after investing everything into the vaults that i could definitely see a point where Vault-tec decides to drop them and rule the world rather than risk bankruptcy. also a motivation of people like Bud & Hank is to wipe everyone else out so that it's only likeminded individuals left.

Im glad you guys are enjoying the mystery of the vault, its one of the best things about the game as well. All the Vaults are filled with this same energy. Thats when i realy knew that the filmmakers were fans of the game! fr fr

The Vault 4 commercial Cooper did with the scientist is the same vault Max & Lucy ended up in!

The Howard's are right in the middle of survival versus freedom/principles argument. Is survival important no matter what or are there lines you should not cross to survive? Mrs. Howard seems in that convo to have taken the "survival at all costs" approach and we're not really sure where Coop has landed but he's definitely leaning freedom.

The power armor mentioned was the T-45, earliest model of the power armor that Coop used. T-51 was the next model but never shown in the show yet, and the current models they were using is the T-60. Just to clear up some confusion with the names there hehe😊

As Cooper said, he and Sorrel Booker, President of the Govermint, are old friends. I think that Sorrel wanted to let him go for old times sake, but as he said, if he just let him go free, it sends a bad message. So he has one deputy disarm the other, then tells them to feed Coop to the hogs. But he knew full well that Cooper could take them both down. It's why he doesn't act very surprised when Coop takes their guns and kills them! This way, if anyone asks, the Ghoul shot his way out and Sorrel didn't let him go.

This episode is so good! They played us so hard with the vault 4 situation. Kind of dumb for Birdie and the overseer to not just be completely honest about the situation there. Just saying “don’t go to level 12, obviously…” only makes one suspicious! It’s not “obvious” to a newcomer at all.
