Title: Re: Fallout Post by: Threash on July 02, 2020, 04:37:16 PM Nope. Big yes from me, the setting is great and should work in a TV format. Title: Re: Fallout Post by: Ruvaldt on July 02, 2020, 08:27:10 PM Yeah, it really could work, but I'll still keep my expectations low. The games are pretty episodic already. I'd love to see them go the Fargo route and make each season about a different survivor/time period/vault.

I'd love to see them go the Fargo route and make each season about a different survivor/time period/vault. I agree. I highly doubt it will be good, so I'm not going to watch it until there's a whole season that doesn't suck available. Title: Re: Fallout Post by: Khaldun on July 03, 2020, 07:46:46 AM The basic arc of "leave the Vault, discover what the world's really like, end up in a ramshackle town that the Wanderer defends/helps" probably works well enough. Gonna have to figure out how to get the mix of humor and grimness right--this won't work at all if it's a standard totally grimdark post-apocalypse.
Title: Re: Fallout Post by: NowhereMan on July 03, 2020, 12:55:25 PM Whatever problems it had, Firefly would be the perfect tone for a Fallout series with a light smattering of audience nods. I'm not sure how you get bottle caps as currency without it looking kind of dumb though.
Title: Re: Fallout Post by: Threash on July 03, 2020, 01:35:37 PM Firefly had no problems, fight me.
Title: Re: Fallout Post by: Trippy on July 03, 2020, 01:45:43 PM Nah you are right. It's FOX that ran the episodes out of order.
Title: Re: Fallout Post by: eldaec on July 07, 2020, 03:39:53 AM Firefly had no problems, fight me. This is self evidently true. Nobody needs to fight anybody. Title: Re: Fallout Post by: Khaldun on July 07, 2020, 06:23:19 AM I remember not liking it the first time I saw it because I'd been so irritated with Space: Above and Beyond about six years earlier, which was just a lazy attempt to do a World War II series that was made to seem fresh just by making it space and aliens. So the first episode of Firefly I saw I was like "if you wanna do a Western, just do a Western, don't gussy it up with laser pistols".
Then I gave it another chance and I was like "oh wait, this is actually good, never mind".
