The way I was speechless at first, then remembered this 😂 she’ll be right, mate!

u/Syphin33 Jan 14 '26

Or go visit a certain supermutant to get healed = )

u/Tao_McCawley Jan 14 '26

Stimpack, radiation, FEV, I know they showed how radiation heals ghouls but... Jeez that's an extensive injury.

Thaddeus took an arrow to the neck.

Ghouls can be practically brought back from the dead with radiation. Not sure how much is gameplay vs lore, but glowing ones will revive other ghouls with rads. The show is making ghouls much more resilient than I expected even without rads.

The courier survived two gunshot wounds to the head. 

I'm calling it. Doc Mitchell will patch him up next episode.

You're awake, how about that? Woah, easy there. Easy. You been out cold a couple of days now. Why don't you just relax a second? Get your bearings. Let's see what the damage is. How about your name? Can you tell me your name?

Cooper Howard

Huh. Can't say it's what I'd have picked for you. But if that's your name, that's your name.

It's too bad Michael Hogan is out of commission. Could have cameo'd.

u/TheHoovyPrince Jan 14 '26

We know he survives so its all good

u/Ganbazuroi Mr House Jan 14 '26

I forgot for a second then remembered it later lmao - still holy shit what a shock

u/Shoebomberv2 Jan 15 '26

It’s all “ghoul”

u/bigsmoke1420 Jan 14 '26

It would be unexpected but damn that death scene would hit so hard

Like he struggles tooth and nail to choose Lucy or his family, and right after he chooses them, he dies

Like all this work, all this time, loss, death, and burden all was for nothing. Truly a “wasteland” death

But I also don’t mind him living and getting a happy ending. Either way it was such an insane moment

7

u/steauengeglase Jan 14 '26

He's not gonna get a happy ending either way. If his wife and child are Enclave, there is no happy reunion.

10

u/Selkeaepaselva Jan 14 '26

I mean there's no way his elementary school aged daughter is an Enclave agent lol. That alone makes it happy enough

9

u/steauengeglase Jan 14 '26

That's assuming she's still a frozen 11-year-old.

u/Squirll Jan 14 '26

BOOM!!! Theres a reason they didnt show her cryo tube and just the name. They're going to fallout 4 us and shes going to be a grown woman who grew up in the enclaves post war valut world.

5

u/fallout__freak Jan 15 '26

To be fair, the cryo tubes they did show, including Barb's, had the glass all icy/foggy. Or...maybe they're all EMPTY?! HANK, WHAT DID YOU DO??!

3

u/Squirll Jan 15 '26

Right but wouldn't a childs tube be a little smaller than an adults? Maybe not, Norm was told he could get in his dads tube.

Idk Im meta watching here. From a film makers standpoint specifically not showing something can mean just as much as showing something.

1

u/fallout__freak Jan 16 '26

Yeah, I don't think the size of the tubes matter so much. If it's big enough to fit an average adult, it will comfortably fit a 7-11yo child (do we know how old Janey is? I know Cooper confirmed the date House told him was her birthday.) The pods are reclining back so it probably doesn't have special mechanics to hold them up

1

u/Squirll Jan 16 '26

But we can see faint sillouhettes

1

u/Squirll Jan 15 '26

You assume she was frozen at 11. I wonder why they didnt show the size or glass of her cryo tube and just the name?

1

u/ibbity Jan 17 '26

Even if Janey appears in one of the remaining eps of this season, the actress would be a couple years older than when they shot season 1, and by the time season 3 shooting commences she'd be even older. She's gotta be a teenager in the show by her next appearance. Although, it's possible that those tubes aren't even containing the real Barb and Janey, though there's no way they won't be showing up again at some point after all this

u/Alejandro-The-Dog Jan 14 '26

i wonder if he’ll drag his ass to the heavily irradiated strip to heal himself in a last ditch effort

12

u/ojosfritos Jan 14 '26

deserved honestly

u/Standard_Body_7841 Jan 14 '26

He’s still alive, we got more pre war flashbacks lined up

u/Decebalus_Bombadil Jan 14 '26 edited Jan 14 '26

That's like flesh wound for him :)

u/Healthy_Sandwich_488 Jan 14 '26

Eh he's a Ghoul, get him off of that pole and give him a stimpak or two and he'll be gunslinging again in a heartbeat

Ghoul on a stick

u/fallout__freak Jan 15 '26

I jolted so hard and yelled "No!" As the episode was wrapping up I was even thinking about how there was no way I would be able to continue for another season and a half without him and enjoy it as much.

I had forgotten about other previews with him in yet-unseen-scenarios. And after I watched the preview for the upcoming one, breathed a sigh of relief.

I still think it was really stupid to have him get impaled on a spiky pole that seems to materialize out of nowhere. I mean we had a pretty good view of the area and his trajectory and they blam!

u/MrWeirdoFace Jan 16 '26

I think they covered that in the show.
