BESIDES Jingle Jangle Jingle, Viva Las Vegas, or Ain't that a kick in the head. I KNOW! Those are very likely but what ELSE are you thinkin' in terms of songs?

I have a few here that have been on my mind that could work well in a trailer for that cinematic vibe or just songs we could hear in the background of S2, or just share some Fallout-like music in the comments, it all works.

Trailer music picks -

"Elvis Presley - If I Can Dream" [MAY be a little too late into the '60s (1968) but I could see this song be perfect for a trailer and it fits Fallout. A song about wanting people to come together and not fight, and have bits of showing the chaos that is the Mojave wasteland while this song is playing. It also has some good moments in it that could work well in terms of build-up near the end of the song. IDK it could be a good pick IMO. ]

"Elvis Presley - Surrender" [Another song that I feel -could- also work, but maybe not the whole song. Like how they did with the "I don't want to set the world on fire" teaser. Half is intense trailer music and mixes in this song. ]

"Connie Francis - Where the Boys Are" [It's just a really good song and it could work with a trailer. I got nothing else, go listen if you haven't already.]

"Nat King Cole - I'm Alone Because I Love You" [It's from the same album as the song that was used in the S1 trailer (I don't want to see tomorrow) so that's a plus, and I could maybe see it in reference to Lucy & Max. ]

Just in the show picks -

"Patsy Cline - Back in Baby's Arms" [I kept picturing in my head a scene where someone is waking up, getting ready for the day, and we think it's pre-war but then the person leaves their house and we slowly realize it's actually post-war. in some NCR or other faction controlled civilized town/city. ]

"Eddy Arnold - It's a Sin" [A New Vegas classic, wasn't in S1, I wanted it in S1 but sadly it never came...Pray for S2. ]

"Sons Of The Pioneers - Tumbling Tumbleweeds" [Just good Fallout traveling music.]

"Marty Robbins - El Paso" [Just this ENTIRE album. it can all go here.]

"Perry Como - Juke Box Baby" [100% A party song, maybe for one of Coop's parties before it all goes to shit with his wife or a house party with Mr House. (No pun intended) ]

"Chubby Checker - The Twist" [Same reason as the song above, party song.]

"Gleen Miller - American Patrol" [Great background song for a radio or just normal BG music for a shot. ]

There is more but I realize this post is getting TOO long...But here is a little extra that I 100% don't believe will make it but would be fun (1 would be fun at least)

100% not happening but fun to imagine -

Ennio Morricone - The Trio (The Good, The Bad & The Ugly) [It's music from another movie, I know its not even In the cards. But the idea of the ghoul dueling idiots with this song playing is TOO good. LISTEN TO TO IT AND TELL MY OTHERWISE! Even more so with that end bit at 3:53 ]

The Louvin Brothers - The Great Atomic Power [Okay, this song is...Intense. It's a song about if the nukes drop, Get ready to see Jesus because only he will save you from the atomic fire. It's catchy and dark as hell, and I guess it shows what people were thinking back then during the Cold War. ]

It's on the tip of my tongue but all I can think is some sort of frog or toad.

I heard people saying it wasn't just irradiated rainwater

Edit: it was irradiated rainwater

In fallout 1, the Master is constantly looking for vaults for prime normals, and his main base (The Cathedral) is in LA. And so is vault 4- so how did they somehow miss this gigantic vault entrance in the heart of the city of their home base?

Just got the new Pip-boy 3000 Mk V and can't seem to get the FM radio working right? Every time I search for the next station, it circles all the way around to the original station it started on. Anyone else who received theirs experiencing this too?

Do we have an idea how much time takes place in between cooper Howard’s video in vault 4 and the bombs dropping? It’s been a bit since I’ve played the games aside from 76 so I don’t remember if any vault lore or anything would help determine this.

I've been looking around and all I can find are sketchy websites that I don't trust.

Has Amazon released Fallout season 1 on blu ray yet, and if not, will they ever do so?

I want to have a physical copy of my favorite shows, Fallout being the first of them. I became an adult just as streaming was getting big, so I never bothered buying hard copies of my favorite stuff, which I'm now regretting as stuff gets region-locked and different streaming services acquire different IPs, it's becoming a whole mess.

So please help me out, if you can!

So I was thinking about this, but whst ever happened to her? Or Barv for that matter.

the ghoul stops at her place when he heals dogmeat and she seems long gone, I feel like she wouldn't return knowing the ghoul would likely be after her. We know the ghould tracked down Rufus to find where moldeiver is. Do we think he caught up to Ma to find Rufus or do we think she's just gonna be on the run for a while? And he found the info in her log?

Am I the only person who thinks that Bud's little selective breeding experiment has already failed? What with everyone in Vault 32 wiping themselves out, and a large percentage in Vault 33 killed by raiders, I don't think there's a big enough breeding pool left to maintain genetic diversity. In fact, if they stay in their vaults I can see the entire population dying out within a generation or three.

(Of course Norm and Lucy, and before them, Rose, have displayed the sort of initiative not expected of middle managers. Could it be that Bud has accidentally bred a different animal entirely?)

When Lucy accidentally breaks his vials during the fight with the gulper, he doesn't immediately take her to get sold for parts in exchange for drugs.

He takes her to a ghoul that may have his own supply, and he's hoping he can take a vial from him.

Unfortunately, the other ghoul is worse off than him when he arrives, and also asks our Ghoul if he has a vial.

I wholeheartedly believe our Ghoul would have provided a vial if he still had a few going. Seems they trusted each other enough to exchange vials in the past.

When he realises he can't help his friend, he gives him a happy memory to recall before putting him out of his misery.

And then, yeah, he sells the girl for something he needs to continue surviving. Such is the wasteland.

There's so much nuance to this character and I'm loving it.

I'm not sure how long vault tec's plans have really been in motion.

But that line from the execs. "We're so glad Barb could use her connections to get us to you."

Did they always have a plan to sponsor an 'American Sweetheart" and if so, do you think her marriage is even genuine in her eyes?

It would kind of parallel Lucy's relationship with her father in a way. To her, their relationship was genuine, father and daughter.

To him, well, who knows. Hank killed his own wife and thousands upon thousands of people.

Barb may very well care for Coop, just as I'm sure Hank cares for Lucy, but I'm wondering whether their marriage was part of the grand design.

I probably missed something. But at what point did the Ghoul decide to chase down Wilzig?

He wasn't too interested in the job, at least from his discussion with the three men who dug him up.

Did he catch wind of Moldaver's name early on and I missed it? I doubt he recognised Wilzig from the picture as he was born, I assume, posy apocalypse and within the Enclave.

Or does he perhaps start with the idea that the caps from the job will get him more anti-feral drugs?

At what point does he first become aware that Moldaver is involved? When does the journey become personal for him? Is it when Lucy says her last name? I'm rewatching now but I feel like I missed that moment.

Imagine living in a vault your whole life and then leaving, you'd never have felt wind before, I'm wondering whether that would be a positive experience or a negative one overall? Getting hit by the elements when it was never an option for you before. 😅

I'm not talking about Lucy's mum.

When Lucy enters Moldaver's camp, a lot of people outside are whispering things like. "It's her."

So they either know who she is, or remember her from when she was a child.

During that scene there is a ghoul that looks especially upset, so much so that another person rests their hand on their shoulder in support.

I wonder if

1. He knew Lucy's mother
2. He was ghoulified by the Shady Sands incident

I think he's reaction lingered just enough that we may see him in season 2, even for just an episode.

Edit: turns out I wasn't paying enough attention 😅 you guys are absolutely right, what a satisfying callback though!

It kinda blows my mind, this show had everything perfect, the attention to detail was unlike anything id seen before. The show was a solid 9/10 and as a fan I loved it, up until the very last battle.

I just can't, the NCR uniforms, or whatever they are supposed to be, don't resemble them at all. It felt so cool to know they were gonna appear on screen, just for them to feel like a band of survivors and not the members of a properly funded nation.

What do y'all think? Maybe it will improve in season 2.

Courtesy of the above source ...looks very relevant to Vegas indeed.

Expect more of these to come until filming wraps up by April

I've seen mentioned in some articles that he's been cast to play an Enclave character. In S1EP2 Wilzig's last words are "Miss MacLean," and Lucy asks how he knows her name but he dies before he can answer. What if Macaulay Culkin is gonna play a younger Wilzig and we'll learn how he knows who Hank is? It would explain how Wilzig knew so much about Vault 33.

Coincidence? Easter egg? Good writing? Who knows but it's fun to spot.

... Where an employee is promoted to the level of his incompetence.

At West Tec he sold power armour with a lethal flaw. Vault Tec put him in charge of "Bud's Buds" and turned him into a brain on a roomba. In Vault 31 he gets trapped - for years? - by some fallen brooms, and is reduced to chasing Norm around telling him to hold still so Bud can inject him. Oh, and he let Norm into Vault 31 without verifying his identity. It's a good thing the Internet doesn't exist in the Fallout universe, otherwise Bud would fall for every online scam out there.

That would explain why Bud was oblivious to the fact that something had gone wrong in Vault 32, in spite of him being ostensibly in charge of Vaults 31, 32 and 33.

(I'm sort of hoping that it sort of comes out that there's an experiment behind Bud's middle manager experiment, which he doesn't know about. Vault Tec at its best is entertainingly macchiavellean!)
