Fallout Recap: O Canada

A recurring storyline with Steph perfectly captures a central idea throughout the two seasons of Fallout: you can never really know what someone is truly like, no matter how well you think you do. This applies to everyone – from a beloved father to a devoted spouse, or even a mysterious wanderer. The show consistently demonstrates that no one sees themselves as the bad guy. Even characters who do awful things, like The Ghoul with his questionable snack choices, or Hank with his devastating actions at Shady Sands, believe they’re justified in their methods – whether it’s to find family or bring order to the wasteland. Similarly, Steph appears unstable and potentially dangerous to the people underground, but her desire for retribution against the U.S. feels understandable given the hardships she’s faced.
