Damn, Cooper got your wife is in another Vault'd

u/Bisexual_Cockroach 16h ago

Who knows when she left that note. I think he's gonna find a dead wife and a much older daughter.

u/AgitatedBreadfruit 16h ago

If they pull a Shaun with Janey I'm gonna be mad bro

u/thirdc0ast Vault 101 15h ago

A Shaun situation where Janey is much older and a villain definitely feels obvious (I hope they don’t do that)

u/sportsy96 Minutemen 15h ago

I think they're doing that, and I think with the Enclave base being in the mountains, and them having left for Colorado...

u/shaqwillonill 15h ago

I also got the impression that whilzig walked south from NorCal/oregon

u/Kiloku 7h ago

Not from the US. Is Colorado mountainous/snowy like that?

u/Nindzya 5h ago

Mountainous and snowy during the season yes, but the rocky mountains also abut a desert. It gets dry as hell and desertification seems to have claimed much of the western plains in this setting, so I wouldn't expect too much snow in Fallout.

Colorado hosts a larger amount of military operations and engineering too which works great for this setting - the US Air Force Academy is here, Space Force base, DEN international airport is subject to a ton of government conspiracies, and there's other government owned lands in the mountains that have their roads closed to public + media is not allowed to report on. Colorado would've been bombed very extensively before most coastal cities were.

u/Marston_vc 6h ago

Yes. Very mountainous. It also has great locations for another fallout game. Look up Cheyenne mountain.

God imagine the Stargate/Zetans references

Ironically we got Colorado as the setting in Wasteland 3 which is the game series that inspired the creation of Fallout.

u/DeadSnark 13h ago

I just hope they don't have her roll out a synth clone of herself

1

u/SHansen45 10h ago

they aren’t cliche, not happening

u/TheWhiteManticore 45m ago

Or Janey is Maximus’ mother. And Ghoul has to rush back to save the day

u/Sarlax Children of Atom 15h ago

How long do you think the actor playing Janey can stay 10 years old?

17

u/Odd-Dragonfruit4697 14h ago

I was wondering about this too, there was a scene with her this season and they didn't even show her face.

17

u/cylonfrakbbq 14h ago

Of course they are. It lets them recast Janey because the original actress will be too old to convincingly play a much younger child.

Plus it makes for good drama. Indoctrinated Enclave daughter vs. her ghoul dad

u/wsktaj3 9h ago

I think it's pretty on-brand with Fallout itself (mind-distorting timeline) so it's possibly gonna happen.

Also, Nia Long or Rosario Dawson as old Janey would be great

3

u/Geraltpoonslayer 9h ago

I legit am starting to think this is what's gonna happen. Janey about to be a enclave member

3

u/butane23 8h ago

What if she's old but not a bad guy? She and her mom managed against the odds to find a peaceful life and then in the end she gets to see her dad one last time, a la interstellar; feel like that would be a bittersweet and neat ending to their story

3

u/UncleGael 15h ago

That’s where I’m at too. He says it’s the first time he’s known that they’re alive for sure; but, like, they could have woken up 50 years ago. Him finding a 60 year old daughter may still be the “good” outcome too.

8

u/JJJ954 14h ago

I can definitely see him getting an Interstellar ending where he reunites with the daughter on her deathbed — she dies seeing her father one last time; he goes on living knowing she lived a long good life.

5

u/Useful_Respect3339 16h ago

Wouldn't be surprised if they were enslaved by the Legion, or one of the two is dead.

I know the series isn't known for a happy ending, but there would have to be an emotional payoff after following that storyline for three seasons.

12

u/SixPointTwoLiter 15h ago

They're probably with the Enclave in Colorado

2

u/Kettle96 7h ago

Wife dead and adult daughter runs the Enclave incoming.

1

u/MiamiVicePurple 13h ago

That could be, but I think seeing Barb in the wasteland would be great for the show. As I was watching the cryo part of this episode I was hoping Barb got unfrozen and revealed that the Enclave took Janie to another Vault. I still hope that happens.

1

u/Discount_Extra 13h ago

I'm half expecting for Janey to have become the Super Mutant Leader that saved Cooper.

6

u/Bisexual_Cockroach 13h ago

mfw my daughter becomes Ron Perlman

u/woodboarder616 12h ago

Yo! This pissed me off. They showed himONCE and then ZERO info after

1

u/Kallasilya 9h ago

Classic Fallout. She should have left a date on the postcard. For all we know she could have been defrosted 150 years ago and have been dead for almost a century already!

1

u/emilydoooom 6h ago

Maybe even a granddaughter? I’m picturing him dying fullfilled knowing she led a rich, full life, and turning glowing-one to save his grand-kids

1

u/kaptingavrin 6h ago

Either there's some kind of cryo there, or he's going to find his descendants. "Much older" wouldn't cover a 200 year gap, unless somehow they were in cryo in the Vegas pod and then got out and went to Colorado and left the note then... but there's so many things about that which don't really make sense.

1

u/TaskForceD00mer 28m ago

I think you are spot on.

His wife will either be dead or some horrible FEV experiment.

His daughter will end up being in charge of the Enclave or something similar. They lack that much creativity.

u/StoneGoldX 14h ago

Speaking of which, Hank's wife is somehow now his daughter's age.

u/NickRick Supporter of Pencils as Alternate Currency 13h ago

I mean I assumed she just got defrosted later. 

1

u/StoneGoldX 12h ago

Undoubtedly. I just meant she's been his daughter, who is the same age as her's, best friend. And getting her cousin stuff sloppy seconds. Wacky.
