Spoilers Falllout season 2 discussion

[Zardnaar]

Got caught up only a day late for the finale. It was a pretty good season overall and I'm looking forward to season 3. F.E.V., Enclave, another war for Vegas, and potentially more from the commonwealth all feel in play. Not to mention whatever Colorado brings us. I'm also hoping they converge more of the storylines going forward. This season was a bit more widespread than I would have preferred.

Weird theory about the overall world. It feels like this is a Fallout universe where the game protagonists never existed. Maybe that's too neat of a bow. Maybe I just need to re-watch the show because I missed things. Maybe the writers already said that and I didn't get the memo. I don't know.

Seems to be com

I just binged the whole of Season 2 (it is now 2:40 in the morning, though I did have to load the dishwasher between finishing watching and come here). So I enjoy watching the show. But if you forget the flash for a moment I kinda feel like the plot could be bodied by a baby molerat. Like, lots of details do not jibe well with the games, and I really hope that if they adapt any of this to Fallout 5 it is broad strokes at most, and limited to new details rather than incorporating the show's retcons.

I am also extremely confused by Stephanie. As a Canadian she was/is poised to be my new favourite character, but why in Bonhomme's good name is she cooperating with the Enclave , which is the evilest, most American group of people of all them all? Like, the little they showed of her made it actually made a whole lot of sense why she is a bit of a psychopath, because she is traumatized and locked into survival mode and everyone around her is "the enemy" . But the Enclave is the most enemiest of all.

She may ha e been Enclave in Camada or joined once she hooked up with Hank.

"Cling to the highest branch you can." Evil or good makes no difference to her, in her mind the entire nation she's surrounded by is evil. What matters is that they're on the top, and being at the top is the only way to survive.

Don't really have much to add that you guys haven't already. It was fine. If next season ends up being really solid this season's transgressions will all be easily forgiven, I'd guess.

Did I miss something with Norm? Is there any reason besides plot armor that the radroach infestation decided to ignore him and all fly into the office, where they all super conveniently murdered everyone with the exception of the only other person who was kind to him before all dying themselves?

I'd have to rewatch but my impression was that hid pretty much immediately, while the others were running and flailing around.

As soon as that scene unfolded, I assumed it would finish as I imagined. I think it would have been better if Norm went to the room and pulled his savior out and closed the doors so all the jerks got wiped out.

As to why we got several hours of Norm discovering basically nothing but future foreshadowing, well that season 2 of FO for ya!
