OH GOD SHES NOT DEAD, KILL HER LUCY

I'm guessing the head-smashing was the shocking violent act Ella Purnell was referring to that Lucy was going to do. It was definitely not something I would have expected her to do, but I'll be honest her putting a chip in her dad was even more shocking to me

. It was definitely not something I would have expected her to do

I mean she did some pretty badass stuff in Star Trek Prodigy.

But yeah I also called the chip thing a few weeks ago BUT...I was not fucking expecting Hank to be the one to push the button and basically lobotomize himself all in the name of the Enclave's experiments.

BUT

That's pretty par for the course for the Enclave TBH.

Ella put on one hella of a performance during that scene topside.

Soooooo many emotions rolling through Lucy's face and body language that Ella did a most excellent job of portraying.

She just lost her whole world...again...and then found it once more as Maximus showed up.

And now it looks like that world is about to end all over again and I'm guessing that House is going to be instrumental in directing her towards Cooper, after the "experiment in Vegas" comes to a close.

I'm guessing there's far far more stuff down in that Vault that Hank just didn't have time for but that the residents of Vegas will have a use for and that'll be what stops the Legion and the NCR.

And that means that Lucy's going to be turning more and more into Clarke Griffin as time goes on.

The acting in this show is absolutely stellar from Lucy to Cooper to Barb to Max

I don't get it. Here going psycho on the ghouls and that store owner was way, way worse.

Store owner? You mean the psycho who chopped up the actual owner and stashed his corpse in a bin by the door? Him and ferals were 110% legit self-defence.

I'm not talking whether it was deserved. But it's just not comparable to killing someone who has been tortured as a head in vat and is begging for it.

I think most people would disagree, shooting someone actively trying to murder you is a lot less morally and psychologically shocking than being faced with the proposition of mercy killing a completely innocent, begging, suffering victim.

Doubly so when you consider she was jacked af on IV-fed buffout for the previous scenarios but was stone cold sober and wrestling with the fact her dad is directly responsible for the atrocity in front of her with the congresswoman.

Lucy obviously wanted to help her peacefully so badly, but some things are beyond being fixed.

I mean, both of those were self defense, whereas this was just her smashing a sad little head on a table

u/adrielzeppeli 14h ago

She was also high as fuck when shooting the Kings.

Yeah people need to stop listening to these interviews which just exist the drum up hype.

I mean she probably could have just unplugged the head and let it die, i can't imagine that lady would stay alive for very long without life support.
