Fallout Season 2: Going the long way

I love the Fallout universe, and I loved season one. While I appreciate showrunner Jonathan Nolan’s ability to play in other people’s sandbox, Westworld is a prime example of why he shouldn’t be given too much leeway into doing his own thing.

While season one was tight and well paced, I have the feeling that season two is inching closer into pure fandom territory. I watched season one with someone who had zero experience with the fallout games, and the first few episodes of season two had me explaining what all those people were doing out here and why it was super weird that they just killed off the entire Caesar’s Legion like that.

New Vegas has such a place in the heart of the Fallout fandom, I just hope that season two keeps the same energy that season one did, and still remain accessible to those who are unfamiliar with the vast encyclopedia of Fallout knowledge.

Although, I think they did make a mistake not having Lucy try and walk straight to the strip (since it’s right there!) and fall right into a Deathclaw nest and learn exactly why you walk the long way to New Vegas.
