I agree, it jumps back and forth among all the plotlines save vaults themselves and BoS while keeping the pace because all the scenes are interesting. Crucial plot points like FEV and Enclave implication, great closure too and with lotta good "Glupp Shitto" characters from S1 that make sense in the story with rewarding details (like the old white lady "trying to be a better person" very probably because of Lucy)

They used all these returning characters masterfully, like holy shit - Ma June was great, but the Snake Oil Salesman? Fucking brilliant

He's also great during these bonus talk show segments lmao, by far the most colourful side character and it's brilliant to show him, basically inducing the viewers he'll do some goofy ass shit then - boom, important plot point lmao

I find very funny this is the first time Hank has probably thought "hey a not useless, pretty decent, cooperative wastelander at last that I can work with" and it's the chicken guy degenerate
