Pearl Mutant says, uh-huh.
And how's that working out for you?
Good point.
And he did need a partner to pull him off the pole where he was impaled.
And he says, if you won't join our kind, then you can't know where we live.
Drags him back to where we meet him again at the end of the episode.
We'll get there.
So why don't you tell us a little bit about how this fits into Fallout lore and what we know about Super Mutants?
Yeah.
Yeah.
And I know some of the real Fallout heads who were watching the show at first thought, oh, this must be an established character before we realized it was a super mutant.
Maybe it's...
Gorus, one of the intelligent Deathclaws from Fallout 2, or maybe it's Marcus, who's a super mutant, also in Fallout 2, and New Vegas, who's a former follower of the Master, or maybe this is, you know, someone who was created by the Master, I suppose that's still possible, but this could very well be just an original character entirely, but maybe related to those other movements or characters that we have seen in the lore, but
makes some sense that there would be a grudge here, that no love lost between the super mutants and the Enclave, that they feel greeted by them, discarded by them, manipulated by them.
So we don't exactly know just what part this figure plays in it and how big this movement, these freedom fighters are and just, you know, where this will all go.
It's just, it's another pretty big,
reveal at this stage you know three quarters of the way through season two and you're lifting the lid on a lot of lore here that no one really would have suspected if they haven't played the games and then this just broadens the scope of the show even more and you know we're we're talking about not just battles between factions and among various factions but also
among humans and mutants and ghouls.
So it's, again, the ambitions of this series.
Like, there's a lot of runway left here, seemingly.
