Ok hear me out re Barb and vault tech.... (Heavy spoilers)

People keep saying she would do anything for her family and I'm just interested to see if this is true.

How did we get from her doing despicable things to save her family to her divorcing her husband, him seemingly having their child, and the bombs detonating when her kid was not in a vault? I have a couple of theories.

1. Warning this one hurts but it also has the least support: Barb was always out for power/vault tech. Her being married to Cooper Howard was entirely tactical. Getting him on vault techs side was a calculated movement from the beginning. Once they got the endorsement and he became a pest the family point didn't matter (I fully believe she knew Cooper was listening in and that directly effected her mentioning that she's doing this for her kids future. She sees him near her pipboy, seems a little suspicious after that, and chimes in after we hear the audible feedback in the earpiece after looking presumably at her pipboy.)

2. Are they alluding that vault tech dropped the bombs to pull that rug out from under us? Even if she was forced to divorce Cooper because of his falling out with vault tech (which he also could have separated from her because of what he saw), if she is the character that gave everything to save her family, she wouldn't drop the bombs while her child isn't safe. If this is her character that can indicate that, even though they planned to drop the bombs first, someone else did.

We know Cooper doesn't know where his daughter is and thinks vault tech might indicating that something split them up from the last point we've seen them and leaves him hope. Is it to be assumed that Barb stepped in and took the kid? How would she find them easily and quickly? Did she tell the vault to make sure to let her child in but keep Cooper out?

Of course there are thousands of different ways the story could get from point a to point b these are just my theories. What is everyone else thinking?

<minor SPOILERS for the second episode of the fallout show> just finished playing Amnesia:rebirth (horror game) today and currently I am watching the second episode of fallout and god, Never have I during this game felt as scared as I'm feeling now, scared for what will happen to the dog or the scientist taking care of him despite the fact the scientist isn't allowed to and should have killed the dog because it didn't meet some requirements.

I can’t wait to see Lucy realize who this jackass actually is 🤣

This scene demonstrates why I love how Vault-Tec is written as an evil corporation. It's not the usual mustache-twirling, over-the-top villainy you see in other media. It's quiet, subtle, and very realistic, which only serves to make Vault-Tec that much more terrifying.

When Cooper finishes describing how Vault-Tec was responsible for the deaths of countless people, the executive here does two things: a) he makes their deaths about himself (ALL WHILE NOT EVEN ACKNOWLEDGING THEM!), and b) he makes it about "Product Management."

It really emphasizes the theme that corporations like Vault-Tec and the suits who run them at Vault-Tec only care about the company and its products and NOT the people who use them (or are being used by them).

just found out a bunch of people on reddit hate maximus for letting titus die meanwhile i was cheering like it was a football game. people say they love neutral karma characters until they get one.

Thoughts on how Lucy spent the whole season never actually killing any person (not counting two feral ghouls), and the first person she was ready to shoot dead was her father?

I really think they're setting up Lucy as a foil character for Cooper and her dad may be her "Man From Deadhorse" moment where she has to decide which is morally right to shoot or not to shoot. Him being her dad adds a huge complexity to that.

Ultimately I think both her and Cooper are going to have a character arc that meets in the middle. Shes going to learn to be a little less naive and that sometimes you do have to do something terrible in the wastes to survive but people are complex and that doesn't make her evil. Cooper is going to earn back some of his humanity and remember what he was fighting for or really against when he turned on vault tec in the first place.

Revenge is also a main theme of this show. We have so many instances of it: Maximus joining the brotherhood to "hurt the people who hurt him", Cooper's hunt for his family also feels vengeful against vault tec or whoever separated them, the kid who tried to kill Cooper for killing the kids brother. I think another way they can take it is amping her up for revenge on her dad and then her learning more (like you said previously we still don't know all of the real details) and ending up breaking the revenge cycle and affecting others by doing so!

Ultimately I feel for her. She had JUST told Maximus that her dad wouldn't like her hurting others to save him and then learned that (at best) her father did exactly that years ago. She's just now learning that not only is everything she knew about her home was a lie but also almost everything she knew about her own family was too. Even as an upbeat positive person that's a huge blow.

I'm interested in hearing your take on this!
