That's none other than Macaulay Culkin, appearing on last week's new episode of Fallout. I like this scene and how Lucy immediately starts lecturing them about culture, fairness, and the pronunciation of "Caesar". Evidently, she doesn't know that the hard "C" is the original Latin pronunciation. She just assumes she knows better. Culkin is good in the role though I feel like he should be speaking louder.
The episode brings in not only the Legion but also the New California Republic and the robot Victor, all elements featured in the Fallout: New Vegas game, feeling pretty true to the source material. Kumail Nanjiani, the Man Who Guest Stars in Everything, appears in the episode in an amusing plot with Maximus at the Brotherhood of Steel. How many things has Nanjiani been in now? The MCU (The Eternals), Star Wars (the Obi-Wan Kenobi series), Only Murders in the Building (season four), Ghostbusters (Frozen Empire). I don't think he's been on Star Trek yet, has he? Not according to his Wikipedia entry, though apparently he's been on The X-Files.
I'm still annoyed by the way Walton Goggins just slowly struts around all the time. And he even got shot for it this time, too. You'd think he'd have learned this lesson a long, long time ago. There were very few flashbacks in the episode, though, which is nice.
The upcoming episode on January 7 was written by Jane Espenson. That's exciting. Espenson, who cut her teeth writing some of the most memorable episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, seems like a perfect fit for Fallout. I only wish she'd written more episodes. Or maybe she sucks now, I don't know, I'll have to see how good the episode is on the 7th.
Fallout is available on Amazon Prime.
