Fallout: The Television Series

It was a bit anticlimactic as finales go. It was a perfectly fine episode but didn't end the season on a bang. It felt like just another episode, maybe a penultimate episode.

I'm glad it was a faction as big as the Enclave that bested House, wandering wild deathclaws or raiders would not have been able to destroy Vegas.

Edward ending the Legion with his death I suppose shows his pride got the better of his convictions. Or his brain tumour messed with his mental state.

Still some untold stories like why are the Kings feral ghouls? Did anyone try and use the pet deathclaws at the Thorn to fight the Enclave ones?

Hopefully season 3 offers more conclusions. I quite enjoyed this season but it was all set up.
 
Steph would have needed to be thawed out three decades ago, popped out a baby and then gone straight back into deep freeze.

Talking of which, and this might have been explained in season 1 and I've just forgotten, but how do they explain how people like Hank or Betty or Steph just show up out of the blue in the vaults?
As others have surmised it appears the answer is transferred from another vault. In fact, in the case of Steph, I assume Hank had it planned out more or less as follows: Stick her in another vault (since she wasn't management) and then transfer her over later. Whether the delay was part of the plan or caused by some complication is yet to be determined.
6-8 episodes either leaves characters underdeveloped, making it hard to create attachment or they concentrate on a tight little group to do it right which can cause other problems such as insane plot armor because you can't lose any of this small group.

Fallout does it well enough with their 8 episode seasons and so far the writing has held up very well with their short seasons.
Eight episodes works for this show. Any more and I think it'd end up bloated. As it is, it's like two movies in a longer series.


One question: At the end was House offline because the Ghoul dropped the communicator or was he just playing possom because Lucy and Max were in the office?

Neither. His screen always says that when he isn't actively using it to communicate. It says signal lost in the same way a monitor will say no input detected when you turn a computer off. Signal lost is just no signal being transmitted to that screen directly.
