Shes got a smidge of a Battle Angel Alita thing going on, but that ain't all that bad.
Her eyes are so big, I seriously wondered if it was a cgi/ai character at times....
Also, Walton Goggins is so good. Just started rewatching Vice Principals 🤣
She's one beautiful alien, that's for sure.

I find the show to be just OK. I'm on episode 7 right now. I actually much prefer the flashbacks VS the present day story. I'd like a whole season just about vault tec building the vaults, manipulating world events, etc...

I also started enjoying the show a lot more when I resigned myself to the fact that maximus is just a low int, high lck build so that his actions make more sense.

I had a lot of fun figuring out the characters builds. Maximus being the low int build made him great instead of insufferable.

It was great. I loved the vault stuff. Loved the flashbacks, especially the climactic one with the earpiece.

Would love to show it to friends who don't know fallout and see what they think.

I never played Fallout. Really enjoying the show.
I would say it definitely has a video game feel, that is they're on a quest, within some kind of a side quest, additional characters seem like NPCs, and the chase just seems to go on.
No real complaint in that, it might be the best story version of a video game I've seen, but once you pick up on it it's hard not to shake the thought.

I did like it, don't mind a second season. But as a OG fan of the old games it's hard to be as rabid about it as the kids of today. If I detach from it not being games to begin with and what the universe is supposed to be, it's rather okay =)

That's what I do with all TV/Movie adaptations. Is so much easier to just sit back and enjoy when you aren't constantly comparing it to something it's not.
- I am starting to go even further with all movies. Once I stumble across something I think I might want to see, I will actively avoid all trailers and discussions about it.
  No expectations. Zero. De nada.
  It helps a lot for me. I even kinda enjoyed 65 using this method. And then when I see something like Godzilla Minus One... whoa boy!
There were some plot points in the very beginning I questioned (the hostage scene didn’t quite make sense. Overall I still really enjoyed the plot, the rising action was alright
When alls said and done, this was a good Prime original. It ain’t HBO, it ain’t Sundance, but for prime originals? Pretty good imo

Good it surpassed my expectations. Decent quality, good acting, some of the quirky fallout humor, etc. I enjoyed it.

I haven't been enjoying it too much but it has been alright, I'm giving it a pass. If it continues this way though I'm not going to like it. My main complaints so far:

How far in are you?
Re the fight with the ghoul… remember that not only is Maximus new to the armor, he’s also dumb as rocks. In game he’d have an int score of like…. 2… maybe.
I feel like the vault stuff was explained pretty decently. Hank mentions telegrams back and forth and that it was a regular exchange (triennial I think? So every 3 years?). And, without giving anything away, the raiders intricately knew what they were doing so it makes some sense they'd be able to fake it well enough.
The ghoul VS power armor fight did require a significant suspension of disbelief, but two main characters fighting in like episode 1 or 2 (can't remember), they can't exactly kill one of them off. I guess you could complain they wrote themselves into a corner though, which could have been avoided.
Ultimately I enjoyed it, I'm just not sure I enjoyed it enough to recommend to people, especially people that don't already have a significant love for fallout.
- Just saw the power armor fight last night. I just see it as application of video game logic, and kind of appreciated it that way. Ghoul dude is clearly wearing some armor or something since he tanked bullets to the back. I mean, in the games you can tank a nuke if you're wearing the right armor.
  If you watch it as Fallout: The TV Show rather than a TV show set in the Fallout universe, it all feels very natural.
- The ghoul actually mentions that Maximus should've read the manual for the power armor. He hasn't used it for long and as far as we know he's about as inexperienced as one could be.

I enjoyed it, glad to see season 2.
