Welcome back to the wasteland — it’s more savage, stylish, and satirical than ever. In Fallout Season 2, Episode 1, the show explodes back onto the screen with a gore-soaked, laugh-out-loud vengeance. A new Vegas. A noseless cowboy. A vault full of communist brainwashers. And yes — Justin Theroux plays a billionaire with a vaporizing neck-chip fetish.Brandon & Chanel dig into all the atomic mayhem:The Ghoul’s backstory: cowboy turned corporate spy turned undead hitmanLucy’s mission: stop her Vault-Tec dad Hank before he nukes more rebelsRobert House enters the chat — and immediately explodes someone’s headVault 31’s secret cryopod cult awakens, courtesy of Norm’s big “kick the brain jar” energyMaximus is MIA (for now), but Reg, Chet, and Norm are knee-deep in awkward Vault dramaComedy meets carnage: Inbreeding Support Groups, needle-armed CEOs, and hostage parentingThat final twist: House launched the nukes — and Hank is working for himThe new mission: Cooper’s gotta charm, spy, and maybe assassinate America’s richest ghoulWith razor-sharp writing, R-rated set pieces, and biting commentary on capitalism, cryo-fascism, and corporate brainwashing, this episode proves Fallout didn’t just survive — it mutated into one of the best genre shows on TV.🎧 LISTEN & FOLLOW BRANDON & CHANEL — WE WAS WATCHING PODCAST🎧 Spotify → https://open.spotify.com/show/4Tx2WCy...🍎 Apple Podcasts → https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...📲 Twitter → @WeWasWatching📸 Instagram → @wewaswatching🔔 Subscribe →    / @wewaswatching  #Fallout #FalloutSeason2 #RobertHouse #JustinTheroux #TheGhoul #LucyMacLean #VaultTec #CryopodCult #AmazonPrime #WeWasWatching #TVRecap #PostApocalypticTV #VideoGameAdaptation

Silence never felt so loud. In Pluribus Episode 7 (“The Gap”), the show dials down the dialogue and cranks up the emotion. With Carol wandering alone through New Mexico and Manousos crossing continents to find her, Pluribus delivers its most poetic, gut-punching hour yet — and Rhea Seehorn and Carlos-Manuel Vesga are jaw-droppingly good.Time Stamps:Pluribus Recap Started at (8:50)Brandon and Chanel Talk about what they Watched This week (52:00)Brandon & Chanel break down this word-light, emotion-heavy installment:Carol sings her way through grief: from R.E.M. to “Hot in Herre” to Sousa’s greatest hitsManousos practices English across the Darién Gap — “I am not one of them.

Nothing says “we’re not monsters” like shrink-wrapped human meat in a freezer. In Episode 6 of Pluribus (“HDP”), Carol uncovers the dark secret behind the Others' food supply — and let’s just say, she may never look at milk the same way again.Brandon & Chanel break down the jaw-dropping reveals:The Agri-Jet warehouse scene: Carol finds dismembered bodies, vats, grinders… and it gets worseWhat is HDP?

The season finale delivers answers darker and more bizarre than expected. Ron grapples with exposing a conspiracy versus protecting Barb's empire. Meanwhile, Jeff emerges as the villain, revealing he’s been recording quirky hold music. The shocking fate of Stacy Crystals, shot by a 3D-printed gun, adds to the absurdity. The mystery of a Jason-mask takes an unexpected turn, and Amanda's potential supernatural powers raise eyebrows. Finally, tension brews as Ron navigates a web of secrets and unsettling family ties.

The hivemind finally draws a boundary — and Carol crosses every one of them. In Pluribus Episode 5 (“Got Milk”), Carol’s actions finally catch up with her, and the Others ghost her… emotionally and literally. But the more space they give her, the deeper her paranoia — and her discoveries — go.Brandon & Chanel break it all down:The Others cut ties with Carol — and send her voicemail ghostings and drone deliveriesZosia is still in recovery… until Carol drugs her again (you read that right)Carol’s loneliness spirals into grief, anger, and a manic need for controlThe wolves are back — and this time, they go after Helen’s grave 😳What’s up with the milk? Carol’s dumpster dive reveals something strange inside those cartonsDog food factories, empty Agri-Jet facilities, and a final reveal that shocks Carol silentA reflection on whether the Others are harmless… or hiding something terrifying in plain sightCarol paints a headstone by hand — and paints herself further into a moral cornerAs Pluribus enters its second half, the show leans harder into post-apocalyptic horror, biotech conspiracy, and psychological breakdown — and Rhea Seehorn continues to carry it like a queen.

From dog bites to deadly chairs to porn-shop standoffs, this is the episode where Ron Trosper might finally be right.Brandon & Chanel unpack the spiraling brilliance of it all:Ron gets suspended and adopts a dog… who immediately bites himBarb delivers antibiotics and some marital realness (shoutout to Lake Bell’s best scene yet)Every bizarre thread — Tamblay’s, the group chat, Oliver Probblo, bug species, Scrooge cosplay — comes back full circleThe Wendy’s ham subplot gets even more Midwesternly unhingedDelaware’s corrupt mayor isn’t the target — the real Tecca boss is funding EverpumpThe big confrontation at Alice’s party: Ron has the receipts… but he doesn’t “tell”Romance Depot guy vs. insufficiently horny customer = mini ITYSL sketch goldRon chooses love over justice — and still ends the episode smiling in the mirrorThis is the most satisfyingly chaotic episode yet.

This installment dives into a whirlwind of moral dilemmas and existential questions as Carol grapples with her humanity in a hive-controlled world. The hosts dissect her shocking use of sodium thiopental for truth-telling, leading to revealing and devastating consequences. Tensions rise when Carol’s reckless actions jeopardize Zosia’s safety, prompting debates about agency and autonomy. The ethical lines blur between heroism and selfishness, raising the unsettling question of whether Carol is a freedom fighter or just trying to save herself.

This episode is where the hivemind stops being theoretical and starts handing out live grenades. In Pluribus Episode 3 (“Close Only Counts in Horseshoes and Hand Grenades”), Carol tests the boundaries of her immunity — and the show’s premise — with a shopping list of weapons, sarcasm, and grief-fueled defiance.Brandon & Chanel break it all down:Carol’s grenade wish gets granted — and she nearly takes out ZosiaThe “wish fulfillment” rules of the hivemind start to crack (literally)Carol’s Norwegian ice hotel flashback: goofy setup, clunky payoffThat restocked Whole Foods sequence: instant oat milk, max satireThe nuke-baiting convo with a DHL guy that’s straight out of Dr. StrangeloveCarol’s suicide-by-grenade metaphor — and what it says about the rules of this worldThe logic gaps: why hasn’t the hivemind dismantled all WMDs? Who’s actually in charge?Is Helen being used for emotional blackmail from beyond the grave?Pluribus continues to be bold, messy, and full of potential — but Episode 3 may be its most narratively shaky yet. Still, Rhea Seehorn carries every frame, and Brandon & Chanel are here for the existential breakdowns, metaphysical red flags, and Apple TV's weirdest sci-fi swings.🎧 LISTEN & FOLLOW BRANDON & CHANEL — WE WAS WATCHING PODCAST🎧 Spotify → https://open.spotify.com/show/4Tx2WCy...🍎 Apple Podcasts → https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...📲 Twitter → @WeWasWatching📸 Instagram → @wewaswatching🔔 Subscribe → https://www.youtube.com/@WeWasWatchin...#Pluribus #RheaSeehorn #VinceGilligan #AppleTV #SciFiTV #Hivemind #WeaponWishList #CarolSturko #Zosia #WeWasWatching #TVRecap #GrenadeScene #HelenFlashback #IceHotelDramaWe Was Watching
