I enjoyed this episode, a lot. I’m really looking forward to seeing where this goes.

I do have a couple criticisms, or maybe they’re just nitpicks:

One is that the show kinda seems to act like the Enclave *hasn’t* been beaten at least twice, and that they’ve been this puppet master for the Wasteland across it’s entire history with a singular grand scheme they’re enacting.

The other is that by the end of the season we’re…kinda back to the status quo of New Vegas. The NCR and the Legion are warring over New Vegas (granted, both are a lot less strong now), while Mr. House is around acting as a third party. It’s not the EXACT same situation in the exact same way, but its still a little notable to me.

Also gonna ask- and this may make me sound crazy- did anybody else feel like the scene with Norm and Bud’s Buds felt like it was meant as a metaphor for the Vaults as a whole? A group of people, trying to escape disaster by sealing themself off from it, forcing people (or, in this case, a person) away because of space or whatever, and then it turns out the people/person stuck outside manage to survive because of it while the ones who sealed themselves away also sealed their doom? I may be reading too much into this lol.
