So grateful it's on AppleTV+ and not any of the other streamers who'd find a reason to cancel it. With this show and The Gold, I can see why Jack Lowden is 6 to 1 odds on being the next Bond. I was wrong about Prime having the market cornered on these shows, this does in fact still rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig H Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 If a Yao Guai eating a dude in Power Armor or a perfect looking Mr. Handy can’t rope you in, then I’m not sure what will. I’m curious about the setting. I saw some people say it’s set in the area from Fallout 1, but the shots of Goggins makes it look like he’s in Megaton.

Curt McGirt Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 I don't know anything about the games, never played 'em, but that looks bad as fuck. Man. But then I am gonna be a sucker for putting a song like that over such funny and sick stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 I don’t think it’s any particular Fallout game (they’re definitely not adapting a story) but it’ll probably have elements from all four games mixed in. I really don’t think they’ll have iconic Fallout locations like Megaton or anything (I’m more than happy to be wrong, though). Glad to see the Brotherhood are still fascist as fuck. “Please Remain Calm” under the turret, fucking lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I read up more on it and saw it takes place in post-apocalyptic California, SoCal to be more precise about it I guess. It's all cannon and it takes place 200 years into the Fallout universe, putting it at the same time as Fallout 4. I'm so excited for people who know nothing about the games, like Curt, to see what this shit is all about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Time period and location make me extremely excited about this, since New Vegas is my favorite Fallout game. Spoiler Leaked set photos show NCR props and flags and whatnot so they’re definitely doing that, which would be stupid not to, I guess, if the show is indeed canon. Also interesting that the Brotherhood of Steel is shown, since if I remember right they don’t have a huge foothold in California according to the games around this time.

Contentious C Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 At least they got the tone right, juxtaposing parody and comedy with the sheer disgusting terror of that reality. Could be good, probably won't engender as much hate as Rings of Power or as much love as The Boys, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite the focus on the vault dweller Goggins's ghoul and the Brotherhood scribe are supposed to be sharing the protag role with their own separate stories that eventually see all 3 come together. With Goggins I'm thinking we see more than California since they will presumably going through his history, and he is a pre-war ghoul. 20 hours ago, Casey said: I don’t think it’s any particular Fallout game (they’re definitely not adapting a story) but it’ll probably have elements from all four games mixed in.

I'm more curious if we see any New Vegas characters. I'd love to see Danny Trejo as Raul show up. I don't think the turret scene was Brotherhood related. 13 hours ago, Casey said: Time period and location make me extremely excited about this, since New Vegas is my favorite Fallout game.

They were spread out in various bunkers back in New Vegas with the war against the NCR still being a thing. Want to say there were implications that Maxson's rise between between 3 & 4 saw the California's chapters see a bit of recovery as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Given that they’re sticking to cannon, you’d think the NCR would have some kind of presence in the show. Maybe no all out war with the Brotherhood this season, kinda like how GoT saved their first big battle for the second season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe no all out war with the Brotherhood this season, kinda like how GoT saved their first big battle for the second season. They will have a presence based off of old set photo leaks. I think it will just mostly be background given the lack of them in the trailer. I don't think we see anything more than skirmishes between NCR and the Brotherhood, and that is assuming they are still at war. Given how far the NCR is spread I wouldn't be shocked if they are busy dealing with other groups in other states or maybe even still dealing with the Legion in Nevada. It feels slightly weird that this could end up the first real update of what post FNV West Coast looks like. I figured when the show was originally announced they would stick to East Coast. Bethesda seemed nervous about messing with West Coast. I like the look of things from the trailer. I just hope we get some truly weird and strange shit on occasion as well.

Curt McGirt Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 New Aqua Teens has already ripped on A Quiet Place's dumb ass, Starbucks hipsters, the writer's strike issue, and AI's connection to it/AI itself. The first two I can see but the last two were unexpected. It's not quite the series that is particularly socially conscious. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fargo season 5 also just started and it's been good so far, really interested to see where it goes, tons of easter eggs from the original film. I finally got around to starting Slow Horses. Loved the first season. Will hopefully start 2 soon and catch up in time to watch 3 as it's released. And, yes, Fargo has also been awesome so far. Can't wait for episode 4 after the way 3 ended.

Craig H Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 Yeeeeessssss! Fionna and Cake renewed for season 2. Despite it being the #1 series on Max for weeks, I still figured they wouldn’t put any more money into it and it would be one and done. Super happy to be getting more and curious to see where they go because as good as Distant Lands was as an epilogue to Adventure Time, I thought Fionna and Cake was just slightly better. Plus, all of the major stories and themes from AT were wrapped up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
