- TriviaWhen the vault dwellers are having a meeting on how to deal with the prisoners, they are interrupted by another dweller who claims that their water chip has been destroyed. This is a reference to the main plot device of Fallout (1997), where the main protagonist is tasked by his own vault, Vault 13, with exploring the wasteland to find a replacement for their water chip, which had broken.
- GoofsThe Gulper is seen to have eaten Lucy's left boot, as the left foot is seen bare. Later when the Gulper has regurgitated, the boot picked up by Maximus is for the right foot, not the left.
- Quotes
The Ghoul: Yeah, well, the Wasteland's got its own golden rule.
Lucy MacLean: Oh? What's that?
The Ghoul: Thou shalt get sidetracked by bullshit every goddamn time.
Featured review
Another Fun Episode
I took 20 minutes to watch a summary of what the deal is with the vaults in Fallout, so now I have a better context for the world. Basically if "Fallout" were 'A Nightmare Before Christmas', each vault would be a holiday town, only instead of holidays they're filled unwitting participants in science experiments led by a secretive organization. Also there are a few organizations on the surface, each with its own agenda and level of influence, and so far we've only seen a couple in the forms of the raiders and the knights.
Given this understanding, it appears that vault 31, 32, and 33 are linked together through some type of network, which is not the case for other vaults. While it hasn't been revealed to the audience what specific experiment is being performed on Vault 33, this episode hints that the inhabitants are educated, idealistic, likely college professors, very liberal, and the writers have set them up to hit a wall of epic proportions when they inevitably collide with the harsh realities of surface dwellers.
Another enjoyable episode- yes we're chasing a macguffin around, but the 3 interested parties are entertaining to watch, and now we have a subplot involving the prisoners from episode 1 and the residents of V32. 'The Head' is probably my least favorite so far, but the episodes have been evenly matched and I still enjoyed it.
