Ella Purnell as Lucy MacLean - Every Single 'Okey-Dokey!' Fallout (2024)

[breckstonevailskier]

I think it's possible that Cooper and Janey didn't have to go far to find a vault.

In the wide shot of the bombs falling as Cooper and Janey flee, you can see a Vault-Tec billboard next to the road.

These billboards are usually located around where vaults are. This vault might've let Janey in, but Cooper wasn't so fortunate.

Time for Angsty Fallout Theory Time (my brain cooked while I was sweeping the house lmao)

I'm partial for theories that VT experimented on Coop soon after the bombs, because of his "something like that" when Lucy asked if it was radiation that made him like that

Coop seems to be absolutely certain that Janey (and possibly Barb) is alive, considering his talk with Sorel, despite being 200 years. At the same time, the moment he confirms it's Hank Maclean indeed, he doesn't seem to even consider the possibility of asking Lucy about her Vault or how her father got inside there. There's also the matter that he was outside of California, meaning, maybe he KNOWS Janey is not there. He only went back because of the Bounty on Wilzig - either because of the money to help in his search, OR because he hoped Wilzig, being an Enclave scientist, would have good info to help his search.

Now for the theory

Janey possibly went through the same experiments as Coop, and that's how he knows with certainty that she's alive: he know she would be like him or at least similar.

I can think of two possibilities: Whenever it happened, with the craziness of the bombs, I could see it happening because people didn't know she was Barb's child, but then Barb discovered, came, took Janey away. (or just VT itself took Janey away because the experiments went better with her)

OR, extra angsty: considering that BUD, in good standing, ended up as Brain on a Roomba (I made a post about how I think that wasn't the plan for him or even Vault 31)... Maybe Barb wasn't in that good standing if it came up that there was a leak because of Coop, and the THREE of them ended experimented on (oh the drama of them being made to spend time and talk after both divorce and bombs *chef's kiss*), and Barb and Janey were taken away because they showed better results.

Maybe even HE was the one taken away, for further experiments or whatever, but don't know exactly WHERE he was for starters.

No matter which one, the important point is him and Janey undergoing the same experiments but being separated, so Coop knows for a fact that she's alive even after 200 years.

Anyway, can't wait for having my heart dilacerated with whatever they'll come up regarding Janey in season 2 lmao

ELLA PURNELL and AARON MOTEN Fallout (2024 - ) Behind the Scenes

[todoroki-tina]

Imagine being such a pathetic incel loser you are being roasted in multiple languages.

The brotherhood of steel respecting pronouns was not on my fallout bingo card

[spooky-daggers]

The Fallout show is pretty fun so far. I still have 3 episodes to go. Everytime Lucy said "Okey dokey", this was all I could picture.

[technoturian]

Regardless of my feelings about the BoS as a whole in the Fallout series, Maximus as a character exceeded all my expectations.

Maximus, honestly, to me, was the most nuanced and best acted character in the series. His situations were fantastical and yet the way he reacted to it all was so grounded. He was like a prestige drama character in a series full of cartoons. Don't get me wrong, I like the cartoons. Fallout leans heavily into parody and it's totally on brand. But Maximus' entire emotional arc was so understated and I really appreciated it.

He isn't a very vocal OR excessively emotive character because he knows being vulnerable hurts him. He shapes himself to that idealized memory of the knight in the armor even as he doesn't seem to really understand or care for the beliefs behind the armor. He's failing his classes as an aspirant. When talking of the BoS beliefs, he throws in a "or whatever". That part of it doesn't matter to him. The armor IS his belief system.

His whole story is about the cycle of violence and toxicity. The bullies who beat him. The abuse he endures. He wants power so that he can escape it but once he gets that chance he's doomed to perpetuate it, because that power is coming from the system. It's tainted. Deep down he doesn't want revenge, he doesn't even want power for power's sake, he wants safety. And he wants to be the hero from his memory, he wants the strength to save himself from this cycle.

And yet, he just keeps making he wrong choices. Over and over and over. He can't get out of it.

And then Lucy throws him a lifeline. And it takes someone from outside of the cycle to break through. And then he makes the choice to do the right thing even though it means making himself weaker, making himself less safe. He chooses to do the right thing for the first time in the show. And it means finally letting go of his dream, the armor.

And he sees a light at the end of the tunnel. He thinks his reward is going to be Vault 33, he's going to be safe and happy with someone who cares about him and makes him feel like a real, good person.

And by the end of the series, he's trapped in the cycle again.

There is just something so delicious about someone getting everything they wanted at the start and being miserable about it. There's something so REAL about wanting to be something but every instinct makes you sabotage yourself every step of the way.

And the thing is, he had all of these little moments of genuineness, selfishness, pettiness, virtue, I genuinely didn't know what he was going to do for most of the show. I thought he might turn on Lucy at some point. I honestly, truly thought he had sabotaged Dane even though Dane was his only friend. He is so morally hard to pin down because he's so full of life's little hypocrisies. His ideals and his feelings are in conflict so much and he doesn't have to look anguished for you to understand that. You just see it in his resigned stares, in his hesitance and his ultimate actions.

I just... I really loved Maximus. Bravo to Aaron Moten.

Best character in fallout, period
