The truth always wins With an episode introduction to the likes of The Twilight Zone, a ghoul that is met with a conflict of morals and best interest, and a Vault that is too good to be true, episode six of Fallout gives us more secrets, some answers, and revelations that make Lucy realize that nowhere is truly safe. This episode is emotional chaos and heartfelt acting that made me love the story of Fallout in a way I never have before. This show is as successful as it is because it doesn't rely on specific characters or a linear plotline from one of the games. it has its own identity but is built in the Fallout universe. Ghouls, Vault dwellers, and known towns from the game are all open canvases to tell a great story. This show is doing what Resident Evil Should have done. The source material is all there to create something with meaning. A cult or a vault? Vault Four was a "too good to be true" moment for our heroes. The Vault must put something in the food because the script had some funny bits that I won't mention here. After all, it's better to hear them for yourself. Something I thought of during my time watching this episode was, is mental awareness being traded for safety? Is being aware of what's ACTUALLY going on being traded for rose-colored comfort? It's something to think about, and I love that this show isn't a "time passer" if you will, it makes you think. It makes you question life and the history of what the Fallout games have to offer. When watching the Ghoul progress through this first season, and seeing his backstory it's evident that he was tired of the bullshit when he was more human passing, and still is. He's still a human, by the way, just no nose and slightly more irradiated. He's the one bad guy within the world of Fallout that I root for because being a good person doesn't just go away. The world can make you jaded, tired, and more resilient, but it can never take away the good that a person possesses.
