I’m actually impressed with the way they tied everything back together at the end. I can’t say I was surprised that Steph turns out to be working with the Enclave, the deathclaw pack battle was pretty sweet as was the surprise capabilities of the NCR power armor and Thaddeus using his toes to stabilize the rifle. I know it was pure fan service but I love the NCR payoff at the end and while you could criticize it for essentially just setting up the same old faction conflict as all the games do it works. I am curious about what Hank’s final plan is and was caught out by the fact it seems he has his own agenda separate from all the classic factions. I also thought it was a hilarious bit with Culkin’s Legatus character claiming the title of Caesar and vowing to create a new “palace” to be the seat of the legion’s power in New Vegas and declaring the intent to build “Caesars Palace” that shit cracked me up. What did yall think of the end of this season? What do you think Hank’s programming is for? Also notably absent from both seasons is any whiff of the Institute, I wonder where they might figure into all this eventually?

And then there of course is that post credits scene.

A new Liberty Prime of course is the logical escalation for season 3

        The House of the show has very little to do with the House of the games. They took the aspects of liking control and things to be just so and ran with that, but don’t really touch on his genuine fondness for Vegas, Americana and just quirky shit. But where that comes into play vis-a-vis heroism is that…
        Okay so I don’t want to spoil anything, but the House of the show does some heinous shit, but he’s also shown actively fighting the greater evil… and like he does stuff. Like he leaves his office after having settled in the lucky 38 and actively intervenes in stuff himself.
