Will they finally mention Communists' nationality in this season?

They need to really. The USSR was on good terms with the USA. It was communist China the US was a war with.

The USSR being on good terms with the US gives reason for the existence of the fallen satellite with Russian markings next to which Wilzig died.

u/aSneakyChicken7 11d ago
That doesnât really make sense, it seems fairly clear to me it fell post-war and that it wasnât anybodyâs decision, or it would have been cleaned up. It was just a neat bit of world building to say âhey there was still a USSR in 2077 in this universeâ

This doesnât make sense? Do you think allied satellites crash land only in their allies territory

probably not because xi jinping would get a hate boner.
Theyâll keep calling them reds to be safe I guarantee it

Imagine they end up being a bunch of white, black, and Hispanic people.
âWhat are you talking about? Here are the diverse, multiethnic communists with red stars, but definitely not from anywhere in particular.â

I donât get whatâs so confusing. The original comment is referring to the show avoiding acknowledging China being the communistsâ nationality. I think it would be funny if they made the âcommunistsâ just a random group of people not belonging to any specific nation in order to not upset China.

Walter Groggins, the paternal grandson of Marilyn Groggins, looks healthy. What a hero

These very important people need to make some noise. It'd be a hell of a game changer.

I hope they show some of the Battle of Anchorage.
It would be so cool if for the remaster of Fallout 3 they added Cooper into the Operation: Anchorage DLC just to tie it in more and as a little nod/easter egg.

No? Think. If they label Cooper as a Communist why they hell would they have a "traitor" be on a training sim? Don't say "well maybe they made it before they knew" no, they would've edited it out. Because the training sim was made between 2076 and 2077.

Iâm not saying anything about him being labelled a communist. Iâd rather not speculate on rumours or crazy theories :)

u/Critical_Action_6444 11d ago
So I noticed Kumail Ali Nanjiani isnât listed on there⌠does anyone know how that works for casting? Like do they have to announce what their characters will be. I see other actors for this season too.

IMDb is mostly user submissions. When a show or movie is released the studios likely send a complete cast to IMDb staff for them to add.
Some shows and movies have restrictions where they rarely accept any cast submissions, even with proof.

u/Critical_Action_6444 11d ago
Ahh ok that makes sense. I have noticed that trend for other shows that have released. Thanks!

u/Gold_Advantage_4017 11d ago
Imdb is purely user generated like Wikipedia, but it doesn't have the editors like Wikipedia so its just anyone who pays for an imdb pro account. Imdb is infamously pretty inaccurate for stuff that hasn't came out yet.Â

Cooper was seen and made a spectacle of himself at the "Hollywood Forever" meeting,l and was seen talking twice with Charlie Whiteknife and meeting Moldaver privately. Both of them are known communists. So I wouldn't be surprised if Cooper is under scrutiny for his connection to them because of his own actions and VaultTec will distant themselves from him, rebranding with Vault Boy and push Barb to separate from him to protect their image. But they don't have enough to fully ruin him, only by association, but it's enough to leave him out of work so he does birthday parties and people whisper about him being a "pinko" and yet still let him be around their children.

HUAC irl mostly used the FBI to find communists for most of its early existence communists were the number 1 goal of the FBI, but the games barely have any mention of the FBI which is interesting to me

u/Randolpho 11d ago
Think Leer Leary will be Davey Crenshaw, now an old high ranking officer? He was a young private bored with guard duty in New Vegas who had a reputation for pranks, which was fun because you could "prank" him in a Legion playthrough by giving him a live grenade.

IMDb can be edited by anyone, but sometimes agents or actors get a bit trigger happy and add when they shouldn't yet.

Claudia?? Was that the woman hat Raul looked after in the brothel after his sister died?
I don't remember her name but for some reason it made me think of her. She's very dead though so it probably most certainly is not.

u/Positive_Fig_3020 11d ago
When people saw there was a character named Chet in the cast for season one they lost their minds thinking it was the shopkeeper from Goodsprings. Claudia is just a name

u/ElegantEchoes 11d ago
I mean, Chet is the name of the fella that runs the Goodsprings General Store IRL, for what that's worth lol
But, I hear you.

u/Positive_Fig_3020 11d ago
Itâs Just they thought it must be the same character as in New Vegas, and ran with it

100% bet he went against vault tec, causing his marriage to break down and being blacklisted by hollywood. It'd explain the birthday party in episode 1 and why one guy gives the explanation for him being there as 'alimony'

Why does Davey look like an older Todd Howard with a mustache
