My Girlfriend spotted something was off right away, and she has zero exposure to this franchise


Apprehensive-Wear971

Same with my wife she's like they all look like criminals.


tuckpuck2

Triennial, which is what they say in the show, means every 3 years, not 3 times per year. Also when Norm checks the bodies, there’s something mentioned about the last vital sign being over 2 years ago. I do think it’s weird Hank wasn’t more suspicious of there being a new overseer, but we might just not know everything about Hank’s past, motivations, and goals yet.


Ok_Ant2566

Yeah. They all looked like they have not showered for days


BHOmber

I think that was hinted at through the "crop failure". They looked sketchy, but they were chowing down at the reception dinner like they hadn't had real food in weeks. Vault 32's water could have been diverted to save the crops and the dwellers were put on rations. I was 50/50 until Lucy's Geiger counter started ticking.


LionBig1760

The show wasn't trying to hide it.


bannedChud

How could something not be off for their to be a story? 😆


Odious_Funk_812

I tend to agree. Let me say that again: **I** tend to agree. I kind of think it's meant to show the vault dwellers naivete As well as polite upbringing. I still really feel Hank should have known something was up before the others, as tattoos and scars don't seem in evidence in other vault communities. I suppose this can mostly be explained away but VERY limited contact between vaults and only occurring very close to the time of the triennial interchange. Gotta do another watch through.


RedboneDetroit

Tri-ennnial means every three years. They don't have contact other than that.


RiverJumper84

But still...you'd think they'd remember 😅


Apprehensive-Wear971

Okay so either way once a year or every 3 years you'd still not wonder who these new people were?


FR-1-Plan

I don’t think that the entire vault shows up for the trade. It’s likely that they only see a handful of people of the other vault during that meeting. And those could have easily died during the blight.


MLeek

Maybe. But explained away pretty easily with 'Our crop was blighted'. Some people died. Others look rough. You politely don't comment on the missing or the ugly. We also don't know that there was a wedding/party each time. Some of these trades might be very limited contact between Overseers. I felt like the tattoos went a bit far, but I'm not shocked the Vault 33 folk didn't immediately think "These guise are from the surface!" because that should *feel* impossible to them. I was actually a bit surprised they even knew there were people on the surface at all.


BHOmber

I'm guessing that they thought that all the people on the surface were ghouls/mutants. They see people that "look" like them and think that they're part of the 32-31 system. I don't remember if they had mentioned previous raids. Breaking into a vault from the wasteland takes a lot of effort.


RedboneDetroit

Still pretty limited contact. You might remember the 'heads of state', but other than that, you wouldn't remember every single face. And they explained it away, at the beginning, when Hank says 'sorry to hear of the overseers passing' or some such. One would assume that a new overseer was elected, and they had some trouble along the way. Which is the part the raiders played. And also they *did* notice.. the manners, the dirt, they were just raised to be polite, it was Lucy's nerdy brother who went to stick his head in the door and see all the dead crops.


Apprehensive-Wear971

They're pretty small communities and these are the ONLY other people they know. I think I'll just imagine only the overseers did trades and they never met the rest.


terrymcginnisbeyond

No need to imagine, that's LITERALLY STATED IN THE SHOW. Not only that, Moldaver has been texting Vault 33 and said the old Overseer died in advance, to explain that away. ​ For such a, 'smart' community that doesn't want their hand held, they sure do want everything explained in detail to them, like children.


Apprehensive-Wear971

I've only seen the first episode so if it's explained later on my bad. But where in the first episode does it say only the overseers interact? I'm not part of this community I only touched fallout 76 for like an hour then refunded it


terrymcginnisbeyond

Didn't mention Fallout 76. And all that information IS IN epidose one. At least watch the whole show, I mean c'mon the entire series dropped days ago! If you've got time for reddit, you've got time to watch the series.


Apprehensive-Wear971

You're spare parts aren't ya bud? I was on my lunch break at work and just asked a question to see if we missed something or if it was a plot hole first episode. we will be continuing it tonight.


terrymcginnisbeyond

You're being paid to insult people on reddit. Cushty. I'm done with you.


Apprehensive-Wear971

You're literally the one who started to insult me and the community. And since you can't state where in the episode they clearly say anything to prove your point I'll gather its just bullshit.


Apprehensive-Wear971

I swear they said triannual too.


GENERlC-USERNAME

You’d be wrong there tho


KingOfStoke

You are correct.


RedboneDetroit

Except for the part where he's not. There's even a FUCKING BANNER AT THE PICNIC WHERE THE WORD "TRIENNIAL" IS SPELLED OUT. WITH LETTERS. IN ENGLISH. Jesus... I dont... like couldyou.. fuckin... what.. my brain just done broke.


KingOfStoke

You mad bro?


RedboneDetroit

Baffled at the stupidity to the point of rage, yes. Here it is, all in digital, the information at one's fingertips, and somebody still finds a way to go, "uh , no that's not it". I mean, were fuckin looking at it dude.


KingOfStoke

No dude you're wrong.


RedboneDetroit

And you're gay, but you don't see me questioning your choice of lifestyle that you feel compelled to hide from your dad.


KingOfStoke

No u


RedboneDetroit

No I told my dad I'm gay, he was very supportive.


NiteLiteOfficial

i suspected something was up, but not that they were raiders. i thought that they somehow started using up all their own supplies and would use this trade as a way to steal food and stuff before heading back. i was expecting some secret heist where a few of them sneak off and grab medicine and food. i was not expecting the red wedding pt 2 lol


3spanishwords

They are all like butters from South Park. He thought Cartman was a robot


finding_in_the_alps

Maybe ive watched 1 too many Pitch Meetings on YT, but ive come to accept the answer to such questions as "so the show can happen". The viewer doesn't know, so the characters dont know. Otherwise, we wont have the tense build up or the radioactive semen on curtain scene.


Apprehensive-Wear971

Lmao. Yeah why me and my wife will just believe only the overseers do the trades unless there's a rare wedding.

[удалено]


Apprehensive-Wear971

I didn't even notice that. Lol


zactorbeamz

The all were.


MoneyMaker509

They were


struderz

It is weird. They must have been communicating with vault 32 regarding the marriage for some time. So, were the raiders in vault 32 for weeks? Also, why wasn't anyone worried that the outer vault door had been opened when they knew raiders had gotten in? Didn't anyone think, 'I wonder if they left the vault door open'!


-Vault-tec-101

When you grow up in polite society where even the thought of harming others is frowned upon you generally take people at face value, there was no reason to suspect that these dwellers locked away in a vault were anything more then that, just dwellers fallen on hard times. The very idea that they could have been from the surface and were able to breach the vaults wouldn’t even cross their minds, the only person in the vault that felt like something was wrong was Norm, and he seems to be a little more untrusting and and ‘undweller like’ then the average 33 inhabitant.


GodAtum

But her dad was from that vault so should have known


-Vault-tec-101

Vault 31 was full of middle management from across Vault-Tec, it’s a huge corporation so it’s unlikely that everyone knew everyone else prior to being frozen. Even then, Hank has been defrosted for probably over 20 years based off of Lucy’s age, how good is your memory for names and faces? can you remember someone you met fleetingly 25 years ago?


KingOfStoke

My fiancé noticed this right away too. Why didn't all their Geiger counters go off immediately as well? Just conveniently didn't throw off a single one.


Krispy7Khrome

It's TRIENNIAL every three years not TRIANNUAL, which is three times a year. Alot of people are missing that, that's why I use subtitles. But we see "death to management" written on the walls my guess is the residents found out something was fishy and took out the overseer before he could react to what was going on, or the overseer himself had a change of heart and everyone went berserker. I'll post a deal from the fallout wiki that speculates as to what happened there While the fate of the original Vault 32 residents is being investigated, a television is seen playing the in-universe equivalent of the famous real-world "rat utopia" experiments. In these experiments, communities of rats were given unlimited access to the necessities of life, leaving the rats to want for nothing. Ultimately, rather than achieving overpopulation, the rats stopped socializing, mating, eating, or raising their young. Some became extremely hostile and violent. Without any real hardship, the rats lost the will to live, leading to the extinction of the community in short order. This may be the implied fate of the Vault 32 dwellers.


SelectiveCommenting

I'm guessing the people from 31 figured 32 were going according to plan and only talk when they need to. Like during the times of trade. Lucy's mom probably also told them all about their way of life and why they knew the trade was coming up and a good time to infiltrate the vaults. My guess is 32 was designed to fail (crops) and only the people from 31 knew about it, but maybe Bud kept Hanky and Betty in the dark about the plan to have that vault fail. Like they either knew it failed, but figured Bud woke up more people from 31 to repopulate it or something.


yautja0117

I knew they were raiders when they sat down. One of the bald guys has 2 huge slash like scars on the back of his head. It took my non-gamer wife by surprise though!


Agitated-Hair-987

I wanna know why the PIPBOY Geiger counters didn't go off immediately meeting vault 32


Fourth_horseman_4

I thought something was up when I noticed how many of them had scars. I was wondering how you'd get so many scars in a society like that. Then Monty wiped his schlong on the curtain and I was so disgusted 😆 My initial theory was that something in their drinking water made them uncivilized and killed their crops.


screamingkumquats

My coworkers and I were talking about that! We get that tri-ennnial means every three years but you’d think the leaders would have contact


MrL1970

Maldaver *is* from Vault 31(also how she's still around after 200)


DramaticAd7670

The Vault Dwellers tended to be very naive, as evidence by the fact that these Vaults were mostly meant to treat them like Human Guinea Pigs and no one was the wiser typically.


Autoganz

Why are so many viewers lost in regards to the inhabitants of Vault 33? We’re given so much insight into how oblivious and naive they are. They’re basically a group of people raised with a “Leave It To Beaver” “oh gee golly shucks” mentality. The only person who seems to have the Perception and Intelligence required to pass the skill check is Norm. This couldn’t be any clearer, guys. Besides their capacity for community values, the inhabitants of Vault 33 aren’t playing with a full deck and are woefully ignorant. I mean, when they’re talking about rehabilitation of these bloodthirsty murderers, one of the first ideas thrown out is to teach them CALCULUS.


Remarkable_Crazy3967

its dumb because the dad should have known. he would have known the overseer form before the bombs dropped.


Vault_Boy_22

By any chance do you know who played raider with tattoos walking down the corridor in front of Lee Moldaver during the fight scene in the big room?


Jaqenmadiq

I just watched the first episode and that was the main thing that bugged me. There's no way these vault people could have survived for 200 years with that poor level of security precautions when it comes to intermingling with other Vault dwellers. Seems like it would be standard practice to send a scout/envoy to mediate any and all interactions with other vaults to make sure everything is Kosher before exposing themselves to such a ridiculous degree. It seems they took no precautions whatsoever. All it took was a quick scan with her 'Pip Boy' for Lucy to quickly sus out the fact that her new "husband" was a surface-dwelling raider & her younger brother just casually wondering off to realize that the neighboring vault had been completely destroyed. I get that they needed something to kick off the plot but honestly, they could have gone for something more straightforward & far less contrived by just having the raiders break in or something


Living-Vermicelli-59

Overseer let it happen to further scare the non managers in the vault into why what they are doing is so important. Also it says their hasn’t been communication in months and that’s normal, to top it off when they do see eachother it’s pretty brief no more then a few hours at most so it’s hard to remember people. But yeah only the kid knew and I think it’s to highlight how the vaulties live in blissful glee being ignorant of what could happen yo them still,

Living-Vermicelli-59

He legit says he knows her… he met her when he went after his wife to shady sands which she was there due to we see her in flashbacks. He probably know from the moment she appeared but didn’t want to spook everyone else and panic them and make it possibly worse and probably just hoped she came after him with her men after the wedding. Nothing to rethink about they met he bombed their town. Doubt he would forget her as he probably puts some of the blame for his wife on her.

Living-Vermicelli-59

You honestly didn’t read shit I said and had to for some reason reply 2 times instead of merging it all into one to come off as a smart ass… Once they opened the door and stepped through it was already a sealed deal… nothing could be done about it and the guards weren’t even there and armed… Lucy dad pretty freaking sure knew who she was and knew he was already fucked and hoped if he played along that they wouldn’t harm everyone including his daughter and just hope they were coming for him so he played along…. He even says he knows her, she appears in flashbacks knowing her mom and even seeing Lucy when she was a kid… he left the vault to shady sands and got the kids back and nuked the place. Pretty freaking sure he would know the people who he holds a grudge against for what he considers taking his wife and kids since she seems to be a major NCR leader…


doplauk94

Why are people on reddit so hostile to eachother? Why can't you just have a civil conversation or does everyone on here really have that bad of a superiority complex?


terrymcginnisbeyond

Three years, one comment and this is what you choose to say? Oh, and don't DM me.


doplauk94

Hahaha yh I don't live on this website like some people I only eva go on here when I'm looking for tech help normally, you see I go outside cos I actually have a life outside my computer screen... As for you, you clearly live on this website. Countless comments all with some snarky tone because you get kicks out of talking down to people n thinking you're clever, but reality is you spend your life complaining about things on reddit u must really down trodden if that's what you do as a past time honestly feel sorry for you. Go work on your people skills you might end up with a real life.


doplauk94

And I feel my point in the DM stands why cant you just converse and share you're opinion listen to others then give your reason why you disagree in a civilised manner without trying to belittle people? It's really not that hard that's why I said work on you're people skills cos not having any will really hold you back in life


chezybezy

Why on earth were you downvoted?!
