- TriviaWhen the vault dwellers are having a meeting on how to deal with the prisoners, they are interrupted by another dweller who claims that their water chip has been destroyed. This is a reference to the main plot device of Fallout (1997), where the main protagonist is tasked by his own vault, Vault 13, with exploring the wasteland to find a replacement for their water chip, which had broken.
- GoofsThe Gulper is seen to have eaten Lucy's left boot, as the left foot is seen bare. Later when the Gulper has regurgitated, the boot picked up by Maximus is for the right foot, not the left.
- Quotes
The Ghoul: Yeah, well, the Wasteland's got its own golden rule.
Lucy MacLean: Oh? What's that?
The Ghoul: Thou shalt get sidetracked by bullshit every goddamn time.
Featured review
OFF WITH HIS HEAD!
What a fascinating episode, to say the least. The hunt continues now not for the target but for its head. When the episode opens, after the showdown between Lucy, Maximus, The Ghoul and an injured Dr. Wilson, it is Lucy that we see on the hunt to bring the head to the next step in her journey to find and free her father. I love the juxtaposition between this clean, honest, caring Lucy against the dirt, manipulation and evil of the surface and its dwellers. After a run in with an unexpected character, Lucy loses her most prized possession and is out of luck with The Ghoul finds her and captures her. She is out of water, which interestingly, becomes a common theme this episode.
Maximus continues to encounter his own set of problems on the surface as he realizes there is communication with home base and a new scribe is sent to him. Between his recent flashbacks and the interaction with Thaddeus, we see him struggle with his natural course of redemption and having a heart for humankind. Although his new orders from the Brotherhood, I believe, will make it easier for him to fall on one side of that struggle more so than the of the other.
We also begin to see the imminent challenges Vault Dwellers are now facing since Lucy opened the portal and left for the surface. With her brother advocating for a more logical plan in the face of their doomed outlook.
The race is on! Where will the head land next? We shall see.
