Summary

• The Fallout TV series adapts the games faithfully but introduces new ideas that may leave viewers skeptical.
• Plot holes like Vault 33's delay in Reclamation Day raise questions about consistency in the show's canon.
• Mysteries around characters like Lee Moldaver surviving for over 200 years add layers of intrigue and unanswered questions.

There's no denying that Fallout is coming for the throne of some of the 168澳洲幸💦运5开奖网:best video game TV and movie adaptatio𝕴ns. It's filled with great moments and excellent attention to detail. As close to perfect as everything is, from the production design to the story, costuming, and characters, some things can still leave you with a lot of questions.

The Fallout show truly enriches the games and is as equally good as them, bringing you a new Vault Dweller protagonist in the Santa Monica, California wasteland and introducing some big new ideas to the series. Let's say some of those ideas and plot points, while cool and interesting, may leave you a bit skeptical.

Major spoilers from the Fallo🦹ut TV series will be discussed below.

11 Why Was Vault 33 Not Ready For Reclamatio🐼n Day When Vault 76 Already Had Theirs Almost Two Centuries Earlier?

This might sound a little nitpicky, but if the show is set on being canon to the games, why is it that, at the beginning, Vault 33 is being told the radiation levels are still not suitable for Reclamation Day and that it might have to stretch as far as Lucy's kids having kids? It's already near the 24th century, and Vault 76 in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Fallout 76 had its Reclamation Day i♒n the Appalachia region as early as 2102.

In fact, it was the opening mission in 📖the game and your objective for getting out of Vault 76. It never came up in the Vault-Tec discussions in the show, and it's unclear if all Vaults are aware of each other's plans, but since the radiation hit at the same time, why didn't Vault 33 act on Reclamation Day sooner? Sure, they may want to hide evidence of life existing already from the dwellers, but wasn't the ultimate goal of the project to populate the Earth (and it's what happens in the games)?

10 How Did Hank Not Recognize Vault 32's Members? Why Did Lee Allow Lucy To Get Harmed During The Wedding Massacre?

If you read too much into the Vault 32 plotline, it gets really fuzzy and baffling. If the Overseer of 33 is in constant communication with 31 (whose purpose is to keep tabs on both Vaults 32 and 33 for the experiment), wouldn't Hank have known that all of Vault 32 perished, since Betty clearly did? And if the wedding ceremonies happened every two to three years, wouldn't the people of Vault 33 at least recognize some of Vault 32's members when gathered?

It was Raiders led by Lee Moldaver, which Lucy's Pip-Boy picked up radiation from her 'husband,' so why didn't anyone else's Pip-Boy pick up on this as well before they launched their attack? Also, Lucy getting stabbed and nearly killed by one of Lee's men doesn't make sense. If Lee's goal all along was to expose to Lucy the truth about her dad and what he did to Shady Sands and her mother, whom she loved, why would she allow her harm?

The wedding dress is even the same one worn by all female Vault Dwellers who have been chosen to marry, and Stephanie Harper was the last bride in 2294, exactly two years ago and around the time Vault 32 would've started to fail.

She married Bert, who comes from Vault 32. Wouldn't he know which people were in 32 when he last left them?

9 How Did The Vault 32 Cleanup Happen So Fast, 🧜And Why Did It Take So Long?

An even bi🌸gger pothole regarding Vault 32. After Norm and Chet discover all the dead bodies, messages, and troubling matters in Vault 32, and Norman makes his suspicions known to the new Overseer Betty, things get magically cleaned up like nothing happened, and Vault 32 is open for business.

First of all, how did this all happen so fast – to go from the disturbing scene in Vault 32 in one moment to everything looking spotless, freshly painted, remodeled, and all prepped for the new transfers from Vault 33? And why did it take Norm discovering it and raising suspicions to finally cover it all up and reset 32? If Vault-Tec wanted the 'Bud's Buds' experiment to progress, they would've unfrozen new pods and quietly restarted 32 earlier.

8 What Happened To Vault 33's Children?

Vault 33 is all about breeding and raising children to be generations of loyal Vault-Tec subjects to p♔articipate in Reclamation Day, so what happened to those children we saw at the beginning of the first episode? As Lucy recoꦰunted her accomplishments to the Governing Council, you see she helped teach American history to a classroom full of children from their Vault.

Those Vault 33 children never showed up again in the show, not even at the wedding when the Raider party attacked or when the dwellers of 33 were sent off to restart Vault 32. You mainly follow Stephanie, Chet, Norm, and some of the other adults of 33. Are those children even still alive, and who's responsible for them?

7 Why Was Lucy's Mom Kept Alive As A Feral Ghoul All This Time, And Why Didn't She Receive RadAway?

The situation with Lucy's mom, Rose MacLean, is a bit strange. Although it was a huge twist to see that Lucy's memories were of her and her mom in Shady Sands and that it was because of Rose that Hank destroyed it, the aftermath of what happened to her is a bit of a head-scratcher.

Rose is currently a feral Ghoul that's as bad as they can come, being kept alive in that state all this time at the Observatory, but to what purpose and why did she become like that? Moldaver already got Rose's Pip-Boy to get into Vault-32, so did she really just keep her alive to show Lucy what became of her and offer her closure? How did she know Lucy would even come if she thought it'd be ok to kill her at the wedding?

You also find out in the TV show that Ghouls receive RadAway to curb themselves from turning feral, and with the reach Moldaver had, how could she not acquire a steady supply for Lucy's mom when even someone like The Ghoul, who's a lone bounty hunter, had enough to prevent him from going feral for a huge period of time?

6 Does Norm Get Out Of Vault 31? 🔯

When Lucy's 'detective' of a brother Norm finally decides to get to the bottom of what's in Vault 31 and how it's all connected to what's happening in 32 and 33, he impersonates Overseer Betty to get Brain-on-Roomba Bud to let him in. But after Bud explains everything to Norm, he can't let him leave and gives him no ultimatum but to get into his father's cryopod and remain frozen.

You never see Norm get into the pod, and you never go back to him after this moment during the finale. Will he find a way to get out? Will Chet come to Norm's rescue and expose what this Vault experiment is all about?

5 𝔍 How Did Moldaver Gain A Religious Following As The 𓃲"Flame Mother," And Is It Just Vault 4 Who Worships Her?

Through a bizarre ritualistic ceremony in Vault 4, you find out that the people who relocated there after the destruction of Shady Sands worship the NCR leader Lee Modlaver. They have an entire altar for her, r✨ub ashes on each other, and drink blood, all while being completely naked and chanting "Flame Mother, you will be our salvation."

Is this just a one-off group that made it up themselves, or are there more factions that believe in the "Flame Mother" and worship Lee Moldaver in the same way? Religious groups are pretty common throughout Fallout lore, like the way the Brotherhood is structured and other organ🦋izations like the Church of the Children 🐼of the Atom, so this might be referencing that.

4 🐼 How Did Lee Moldaver Survive Over 200 Years Since The Bombs Dropped?

Perhaps the biggest question surrounding Moldaver's character is, how has she managed to survive for 219 years since the bombs dropped without becoming a Ghoul or ever dying from old age? In a shocking twist, you find out that Moldaver was actually a cold fusion expert by the name of Williams, who was bought out by Vault-Tec and held secret meetings at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery to speak out against them, even encountering Cooper Howard.

Now with this revelation in mind, that Lee was actually alive since before the bombs got launched and the war ever began, how is it possible that she's still alive over 200 years? Is she a clone who keeps the same memories of pre-War Lee, or was she cryogenically frozen herself before joining the Shady Sands community?

3 Where Are Cooper's Wife And Daughter? Are They Still Alive?

Now that it's been revealed many, if not all, of Vault-Tec's personnel have been cryogenically frozen and used as Overseers for Vault 32 and 33, like Hank MacLean and Betty Pearson, or just to be thrown into the general gene pool, does it mean Barb Howard is in one of the pods in Vault 31 or perhaps another Vault location? Has she not been activated yet by Robobrain Bud?

The same goes for Janey Howard, Cooper, and Barb's daughter, who could also still be alive. She was with Cooper right when the bombs hit Los Angeles, and they were one of the first to witness the event, and both made it out alive from the birthday party. You assume Cooper handed Janey over to her mother, knowing she could keep her safe, and he chose not to stay together because he knew what his wife and Vault-Tec had done.

2 Will Anything Change In Terms Of Lore In Fallout 4's Next-Gen Update?

Shortly following the release of the Prime Video series, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Fallout 4 got some news of receiving a Ne🉐xt-Gen update for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles, along with some improvements on PC. It makes you now wonder if any particular lore items, NPCs, or story elements will chan♑ge to tie into new things seen inಞ the show.

Shady Sands has been destroyed by a bomb in the TV show, which is implied to be somewhere around 2277. But 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Fallout: New Vegas and Fallout 4 take place in the 2280s with Shady Sands still intact, so might the 'Fall of Shady Sands' now also somehow become part of the games? Will Ghouls work more similar to the show, and will more lore be aimed at conveying that Vault-Tec was behind the Great War?
