Fallout series premiere date moves up one more day
What's better than Fallout's premiere date getting moved up a day? How about Fallout's premiere getting moved up another day?
It was originally expected that Prime Video and Bethesda would release the Fallout television series on Friday, April 12, just in time for the weekend. A few weeks ago, they surprised fans by revealing that the premiere date was moving up by a day to Thursday, April 11. With just hours to go before that big day, Prime Video has surprised fans once again, this time announcing that Fallout's full first season would now go live this coming Wednesday.

The new Fallout premiere date was revealed during Monday's NCAA Men's Basketball Championship Game and was later posted to the show's various social media channels, including X (formerly Twitter). Actor Walton Goggins, who will be playing The Ghoul on the show, gave fans the show's latest update, noting that it will now go live on Wednesday, April 10 at 6:00 p.m. PT/9:00 p.m. ET. The latest change in premiere dates comes a month after the previous change that saw it move to April 11.
Fallout comes from Amazon MGM Studios in conjunction with Kilter Films and Bethesda Game Studios. It follows Vault Dweller Lucy (played by Yellowjackets' Ella Purnell), the Brotherhood of Steel's Maximus (played by Emancipation's Aaron Kotar), and The Ghoul (the aforementioned Walton Goggins, whose many credits include the 2018 Tomb Raider movie) as they encounter one another and the various dangers of the surface world. Westworld co-creators Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy are working as the show's executive producers with Nolan directing the first three episodes. The new premiere date comes just hours after The Hollywood Reporter posted a story that Amazon picked up $25 million USD in tax credits to film the show in California, seemingly indicating that a second season is likely.

Stuff I've actually seen:
The Expanse - a must watch for any sci-fi fan, hands down the most accurate depiction of space travel ever on TV.
The Boys - What if an evil supercorporation was in charge of all of the superheroes? Oh and Superman is a literal psychopath murderer? Lots of shock value extreme gore.
The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel - quick witted, highly regarded comedy/drama about a divorcee getting her standup career going in late 50's NYC.
Undone - incredible rotoscoped story about a woman discovering the ability to bend time and reality after a car crash after getting into a near fatal accident and unraveling the truth about her father's death. Massively underrated and overlooked show.
Reacher - Stupid fun show where Detective Big Man solves crime by being physically larger than everyone. How does he deduce the solution to crime? He's actually really smart because of how physically large he is. So dumb but entertaining AF.
Mr. & Mrs. Smith - Only watched a couple episodes so far but seems like an OK adaptation of the movie, interested to see where it goes.
The Peripheral - It's a huge shame that they cancelled this because of the "writer's strike" (I think they wanted to kill it anyways and just used the strike as an excuse). Only one season and had so much potential.
Jack Ryan - Just kinda OK at best reimagining of the Jack Ryan character. Has some high notes but a LOT of real fucking stupid plot points (like somehow a US guided missile destroyer being completely helpless after firing off a whole 2 self-defense missiles, WAT)
Stuff I've heard about:
The Man in the High Castle - Adaptation of the Philip K Dick novel, apparently was pretty well done. I'd like to watch it at some point as I loved the book.
Bosch - Jason Mantzoukas loves it so it has to be at least somewhat good? Some kind of detective police drama.
Gen V - The Boys teen drama spinoff, will be watching at some point -
-
Patriot is a great spy themed dark comedy. Highly recommended

Seems to be very inconsistent than. Hazbin Hotel did have one 15 sec ad in the middle as a quick test, a few episodes of the boys i started showed no ads and I've had movies where it would only be an ad at the start then nothing else. If it's still only 15-30 sec total even if in the middle while super annoying beats the hell out of 3+ min per break on tv.

It's an FX show which in the US is streamed only on Hulu and in the US you can't stream Fargo via Prime so I'm not sure how it works in the UK but it very well might be a regional thing or they are starting to add in more ads during shows, but I haven't noticed it in the last week on prime in the US.

I think so, I tested watching the Chinese version of Three Body and it shows there would be two ad breaks that are mid show, but if I watch anything that is a Prime Original like The Boys I don't get that, not sure how they tie ads in there since i started a new episode and didn't even get one, but the movies I've watched on Prime just have like 30 sec total at the start.

Gonna be watch shit get real in the next new ep of Shogun on Netflix tonight. But Fallout is going on our must-watch list for tomorrow night.

Is Shogun supposed to be told in one season, I hope? I've seen the first 6 episodes, up to the courtesan (house of wild orchids?)

I was thinking of this, but hadn't actually watched it. It's much less helpful than I thought.

Essentially in their world, around the 1940s they kept making things look like the nuclear future design aesthetic, everything kept using this americana feel, they progressed to 2077 until oil reserves dried up, China invaded Alaska and attacked what was left of the USA and then the bombs fell.
There was a corporation that was comissioned to build a fuckload of huge underground vaults big enough to sustain a small neighborhood, but only about 100 were made. After a couple hundred years, some vaults broke down, some opened up, etc. Meanwhile some people on the surface survived, some were turned into mutants, same with animals.
The games tend to follow the "heroes journey" archetype of a lone stranger being cast out of their comfortable zone and asked to cross the threshold in order to find a macguffin and bring it back to their vault or tribe or whatever.
The first two games were isometric (ish) RPG games, then Bethesda turned it into Skyrim with Bobbleheads and Guns. It's much more "on the nose" with it's art and humor than the original. But I suppose it has to be otherwise they're just copying Mad Max's look and feel over and over. -

Some muppet at IGN mangled this quote into a statement that it's a non-interactive version of Fallout 5.
"Each of the [Fallout] games is a discrete story – different city, distinct protagonist – within the same mythology. Our series sits in relation to the games as the games sit in relation to each other. It’s almost like we’re Fallout 5. I don’t want to sound presumptuous, but it’s just a non-interactive version of it, right?"

I have faith in Nolan and Joy to do something decent with the world. For a couple of seasons at least.
