What’s Cooler Than Cool? An Alien in the Fridge!

Welcome to the wild, wacky world of Fallout, where not everything is as it seems, especially when your sci-fi leaps onto the small screen. This isn’t just any ordinary setting; it’s a retro-futuristic extravaganza brewed to perfection by the masterminds at Bethesda. Imagine a universe where nuclear weapons have made personal computers look like flat, stylish bricks strapped to your wrist, all while we hover just above a dark age!

Life After 2077: It’s a Blast!

If you think Fallout belongs strictly in the post-apocalyptic section, think again! Episode two of season two throws in a twist—or should we say an icy surprise? A blink-and-you-miss-it moment unveils a frosty extraterrestrial chilling in a fridge. Yes, you heard that right! And guess what? Aaron Moten, the talented actor behind Maximus, was just as puzzled about that little green guy as the rest of us. “Where are we going with this?” he wondered aloud, and boy, aren’t we all just itching to find out!

The Brotherhood’s Reaction: Ice Cold (Not Alien)

So, when our ever-so-determined Brotherhood of Steel stumbles upon this frozen fella while exploring their new digs at the top-secret Area 51, their response is comical. “Holy shit,” one member gasps in excitement! But, spoiler alert: he’s not freaking out about the alien—nope, he’s over the moon about finding a “real freaking ice box!” Is this what we’ve come to in a post-apocalyptic world? Ice boxes over aliens? Hilarious!

Aliens: So Last Century?

For the Brotherhood, encountering aliens isn’t a big deal. Game lovers out there know the Fallout universe is sprinkled with extraterrestrial surprises, from crashed UFOs to quirky skeletons making a tragic fashion statement. Aliens officially joined the party with the Fallout 3 DLC, Mothership Zeta, back in 2009. Geneva Robertson-Dworet, one of the co-showrunners, describes the alien fridge moment as a playful nod to longtime fans. “It’s just a tease, ya know!” she said with a chuckle.

Future Mysteries: So Much Left to Explore!

But hold onto your vault suits! The alien cameo isn’t the last of the surprises. “Oh my God, there’s still so much left!” Geneva exclaimed, beaming with excitement. With two seasons under their belt and a treasure trove of Fallout secrets still waiting to be revealed, we can hardly sit still! “We’ve barely scratched the surface,” she added. So, what’s next? Glib creatures? Mad-cap adventures? Who knows, but they’re definitely cooking up something exciting!
