Fallout S2E06 - discussion

Included one the imo better parts of Fo4(Uranium Fever song)

Been said before but the way the portray the naivety of people who grew up in insular societies like the Vaults/BoS nails it

Thaddeus being less naïve and more pragmatic than Max but still not being a complete evil asshole is great, that and the actors comedic timing is making him grow on me

Having Lucy 'lobotomize' the ncr/legion guys to stop them killing each other will probably lead to some good development of her character becoming darker and possibly change her outlook on her Dad's work/goals

I hope we get at least a little more detail on how the mind-control implants work, as they seem to leave people with a personality(and not just robotically coldly following whatever orders) and emotions, but stripping there memories( maybe? that one woman seemed to have a recollection of being a murderer assuming Hank didn't just tell her) but they all have the same cheerful helpful personality it seems, but are still individuals and not all imrinted with one template personality even if there demeanour is similar? and how do they now to follow Hank, he didn't seem t be carrying the mind-control-control gadget with him, perhaps they just 'imprint' on the first person they see after activation? so hopefully at least some is explained and not just all handwaved

Probably just coincidence as I assumed this was filmed before the other game out or vice-versa(but maybe had some personnel in common), but the hank's drones working in unisons was very reminiscent of some scenes from Pluribus, especially cheek swab Petri dish scene from episode 1

Cool to see a super mutant, but imo from the one glance we got of the face of the one in that ep, it didn't look that good/cool aesthetically? to me at least, just looked like a big dude in makeup(which seemed a completely different shade of green to that in thegames although that could be the lighting), I was hoping they'd make them look more jacked-up like the talking heads in fo1/2 like:
