From first glimpse of New Vegas to Vault 24, every 'Fallout' Season 2 Easter egg in the premiere
The second season of 'Fallout' just aired its premiere episode on Prime Video, and the popular video-game adaptation show starring Ella Purnell shifts its base to a new location this time, New Vegas. Although the second season of 'Fallout' has so far just aired one episode, keen-eyed fans of the franchise were quick to spot several Easter eggs and callbacks to the original game series.
The debut season of 'Fallout' went in for a classic introduction from a twist-top television made by the company Radiation King (a recurring in-universe brand throughout the 'Fallout' video game), as per SuperHeroHype. Contrary to this, the second season kicked off with the Securitron screen, created by RobCo Industries, a pre-War multibillion-dollar robotics and software megacorporation in the 'Fallout' universe. During a TV broadcast addressing nationwide unrest against his company, Robert House (played by Justin Theroux) is shown sitting behind a 'Rob Co' plate. The bar scene from the premiere episode once again mentions RobCo and Robert House. The scene also mentions Radiation King and H&H.
The town of Novac has also been featured prominently on 'Fallout' Season 2. The town itself is recognizable by the fixture of Dinky the T. rex. This is where the game and the TV series differ for a while; the addition of a pool and the T. rex facing the wrong direction are among the dissimilarities. Lucy spends some time by the figure of the T. rex, with a high-caliber scoped rifle in hand. By the time of the Prime Video show's second season, the entire town of Novac is under the thumb of a clan known as the Great Khans. They're the ones who tie up the Ghoul by his neck, and they have descended from another cult known as the New Khans, who met their end on 'Fallout 2', as per GamesRadar.
Similarly, the Radiation King truck in the alleyway is a nod to the company of the same name that features in every game in the series and manufactures radios and televisions. Moreover, an establishing shot of New Vegas revealed Lucky 38 standing tall in the distance. A Vault-Tec man, representing the company that sold vaults to families, is seen walking down the street during Cooper Howard's dream sequence.
Most importantly, the Starlight Drive-In Theater, which Lucy and the Ghoul come by while on their way, serves a dual purpose. Not only is it a relic from the pre-War past, but also the location that housed the secret Vault 24. The ending credits of the episode also presented the cutouts of Bison Steve's hotel, Vicky and Vance's casino, and Mojave Express. 'Fallout' Season 2 drops new episodes every Wednesday on Prime Video.
