The Fallout Season 2 continues where the previous season left off, adding in little details, nods, and connections to all areas of the Fallout gaming universe. Fallout Season 2 Episode 2 is loaded with lots of little touches. During the Fallout Season 2 episode 2, there were numerous references made that some viewers may have missed if they were not paying close attention to the show. The fast-paced nature of this episode allows for many quick transitions between scenes, and the references allow the viewer to connect each scene to various aspects of the overall Fallout universe.Shady Sands and early Fallout lore in Fallout Season 2In Fallout Season 2 Episode 2, we come to see Shady Sands, which is viewed as arguably one of the most important iconic locations in the Fallout franchise. It started off as a small town in the original Fallout game, but ultimately became the home of the notorious NCR. It is one of the largest, most organized factions in post-apocalyptic California, which is shown early on in its life.In this episode, viewers will see Shady Sands during one of its "golden eras," filled with people who are hard at work within their daily activities. This makes the eventual destruction of Shady Sands that happens later in Fallout Season 2 Episode 2 even more horrific.A conspicuous feature that may attract attention in Fallout Season 2 Episode 2 is the trader's caravan being pulled by two-headed cows, known as Brahmin. Within the Fallout Universe, Brahmins are tracked throughout the Wasteland in abundance. The use of Brahmins for transportation unites this episode back to the video games and foreshadows everything still to be seen within the Fallout Universe and its Community. View this post on Instagram Instagram PostMaximus hiding inside a refrigerator to survive the blast was a nod to multiple sources, including not only Fallout but also an earlier side quest from Fallout 4 titled "Kid in a Fridge." This side quest was also a nod to one scene from Indiana Jones. So, really, we can see here how the show has pulled inspiration from numerous sources.Area 51, Creatures, and Brotherhood details in Fallout Season 2 Episode 2A large part of the Fallout Season 2 Episode 2 takes place inside Area 51, which is treated as a secret vault of strange objects and experiments. Before the characters even step inside, viewers can spot the Brotherhood Scribes inserting a Fusion Core into a generator that looks like the ones found in Fallout 4. This is a straightforward detail, but it helps the world feel familiar.Inside the hangar, the scene becomes packed with references. The first major one is the frozen alien. This alien belongs to a species known as the Zetans, which appear in Fallout 3 during the Mothership Zeta DLC. The games revealed that the government once kept these aliens on Earth, and the show continues that idea by showing one trapped in ice. Moments later, we see an Alien Shock Baton, which is one of the weapons used in the DLC.There are also other items scattered in the background. The Declaration of Independence can be spotted in one corner, which feels like a simple joke since the document appears in Fallout as well. Not long after, the Cryolator shows up. This weapon freezes enemies in the games and uses special ice-based ammunition.The Brotherhood soldiers also play around with a Plasma Grenade and later a red car fitted with Miniguns. While the exact car model is unclear, the Miniguns strongly resemble the ones used in Fallout 4, and their design makes the connection obvious.Later in the Fallout Season 2 Episode 2, Lucy and the Ghoul get attacked by giant mutated scorpions. Long-time players will instantly recognize both types. There are two different types of scorpions seen in those scenes; the smaller scorpions are called Bark Scorpions, whereas the larger, six-eyed scorpion is known as Radscorpion. The scorpions from the movie look almost exactly like the ones in both of the Fallout games (Fallout: New Vegas and Fallout 4), creating a very authentic feel with respect to the games.In addition to the Scorpions, the show also has a reference to the Commonwealth through a conversation between the Brotherhood leaders. The Commonwealth refers to the area in which Boston resides, and Boston was the primary setting in Fallout 4. The Brotherhood airship seen in the movie appears quite similar to the Prydwen from Fallout 4. Again, that creates the illusion of a tie-in to the Fallout world.Finally, there is Caesar’s Legion, which is also referenced. Caesar's Legion is a group that had a significant impact on the storyline of Fallout: New Vegas and is known for being very brutal and for using the Roman structure as a template. While the movie does an excellent job of capturing the essence of what the Legion was about, the visual elements provide an immediate connection back to Fallout: New Vegas.
