What, specifically, is your complaint?

Beamer, you should know better. The world is full of angry boys.
Don't feed.

This is likely to get me a bunch of hate. I will watch it, but not as enthused about it now. Female lead???? Nah.

1962 called wants their sexism back.

LOL--only one ????? Nothing to do with age sexism. I'll say the same thing if Bond changes sex too.

Bond is an established character, though one that has changed many times.

Which established character is this changing? Were there no female vault dwellers?

So! Watched the trailer as well. I’m changing my stance from negative to cautiously positive!

The battle taking place is the battle between the NCR and the dwindling West Coast brotherhood for the Observatory in Hollywood. Probably some mega science McGuffin inside it.

Means this takes place effectively after the battle for hoover dam. So well… I’m in!

Not sure why goggins shoots up a market place though? Seems the NCR would be on his tale for doing that. That caused me concern before that the NCR was not even considered.

Watched the trailer but don't recognize the female lead, hope she's up to the task.
Agreed, sure seems like throwing the BoS in too quick, there's only 8 episodes.
It's gonna feel awfully rushed, maybe should have brought them in as a season ending, cliff hanger.

Ella Purnell is a fine actress. And who doesn't love Dale Dickey. https://imdb.com/name/nm0225460/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_1_nm_7_q_dale
The trailer looks great.
I'm glad it's dropping on us all at once.

Enjoy the show.

You know what it says on the $100 bill, right?
In RedEyed9 We Trust !

Oh I recognize many, Kyle MacLachlan is legendary imo.
lol, I thought that was Barbara Sukowa in a ton of makeup, as the merchant lady.
Checked Purnell, never seen her and there are so many Actiony under 30 female actress atm.

It only looks to have two good things about it, Walton Goggins and Matt Berry.

Not sure if I'm such a fan of dropping an entire season at a time

Does the show have perks? Like if I choose Bloody Mess I can get a version with extra gore?

Definitely looking forward to the Fallout TV show. Was wondering if they'd got the original voice actor for Mr Handy but it actually sounds like they nabbed Matt Berry (an excellent choice!). I had to replay that segment a few times and it definitely sounds like him.

I don't care for the BoS at all so I'm hoping against hope that they aren't the main focus of the series. But everyone likes big armor go smash so they probably will play a big part. Also don't like all the greenscreen stuff. I hope they balance that with some nice, real, practical, Fallout-themed post-apocalyptic sets. Would have been extra cool if they built a real, practical Mr. Handy too but the CGI there is passable enough so I'll take it. Could be good. If not, it will be just another show I can skip. No big.

Fingers crossed this will be a Fallout NV moment, not another Fallout 76 release.

Although I have Prime, my seedbox stands ready for Fallout!
