Trivia
One of the men that dig up The Ghoul uses a Junk Jet, a weapon from the Fallout games that is essentially a steam-powered potato gun, literally shooting whatever junk items you're carrying.

Goofs
Janey is watching the city as the bomb hits, but the flash of light from the explosion would not cause instant blindness if the person is far enough away. An inverse square law applies, where the observed light intensity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the light source. Furthermore, it was clearly a ground burst, which means a lot of the initial flash was shielded by the downtown buildings.

Quotes
Honcho: A feral ghoul can't abide a chicken. If he goes for her, we kill him.

great start!

What a terrific premiere episode. Between this and The Last of Us, it looks like video games are a great source for series, with so much smart (and in this case, satirical) worldbuilding and visual style already done.

The look of Fallout is both familiar and fresh. We've seen this retro-grunge routine before, such as in Apple's Silo. But they've amped it up for Fallout beyond all expectations. I can only compare this with Amazon's The Man in the High Castle for both creativity and sheer volume of gorgeous and fun details to look at.

They waste no time in getting right to the series' premise, while also finding time to introduce side characters. I expected Walton Goggins' Ghoul to be intriguing but I'm also interested in Lucy's father, brother and cousin. They whipped up a whole family circus there in just a few scenes of one action-packed episode.
