Obviously there will be spoilers below the cut.

“Why on earth did you think giving cold fusion to the president was a good idea? And you call ME the lunatic!”

“Good job! The end of the world was indeed your fault.”

“I told you there was another player at the table. And who, Mr. Howard, would be more powerful than any corporation in America? OUR GOVERNMENT.”

“You thought the president would do his duty and give it to the people? How naive are you, Mr. Howard? Here I thought you were the person I could depend on to help me save this city.”

I bet Mr. House would eventually be like “leave me alone. Thanks to you, now I have to hurry and produce the platinum chip.”

Seriously. Coop, sweetheart, the government is not our friend. Sure, I get he doesn’t really want to give it to the eccentric billionaire. But at least Mr. House was the first person to be completely honest with him and was actually trying to save Vegas.

And the fact that Barbara was okay with this plan should have set off alarms in Cooper’s head. In the meeting, she literally glances up to where the unknown people are (I know Cooper obviously didn’t see that). But why would he think that Barbara would all of a sudden allow—actually HELP—him take the cold fusion from Hank and then give it away? Cooper, use your brain. She’s doing all of this stuff to keep y’all alive. Why would she immediately risk everything by helping you steal cold fusion?

Plus, he tells the congresswoman that cold fusion is being given to Mr. House in exchange for the bombs. Coop. Did you not listen? Or do you really just disbelieve House? Mr. House straight up told Cooper that neither he nor vault tec was producing bombs. Cooper. Your wife was literally accepting mind controlling devices in exchange for the cold fusion. Cooper. GET A GRIP.

I hate how Cooper keeps referring to Mr. House as such a bad person. As if Cooper hasn’t met/heard the worst people in existence. Mr. House is literally the most morally sound out of all the people at that meeting Cooper spied on. He’s the one that despises vault tec and was trying to find a way to stop the bombs.

Cooper’s just mad that he gave the enclave the power to wipe everyone out. He’s taking it out on the brilliant man that he didn’t believe. He’s just mad that he’ll have to hear “I told you so,” from Mr. House lmao.

Anyways. Can you tell this new episode has me fired up? I was like oooh I bet Cooper comes to his senses, realizes he needs to help Mr. House, agrees with Barb to hand over the cold fusion to House, and then somehow it gets stolen from House. That’s probably why Mr. House is not in working order!

NOPE. Coop hands it over to the:

I hope we get to see more of him, and I’m really hoping we get to see his and Justin’s Mr. House interact. I want to know if they’re besties? Merely coworkers? Just a mutual respect for each other?

Obviously he’s close enough and trusted enough to know everything and every plan or else the whole body double bit wouldn’t work.

When Cooper and Mr. Body Double enter the room, he immediately starts pulling on his shirt, messes with his collar, and loosens his tie. Then he starts playing with his tie bar. Is he just a fidgety person or does he get nervous around his boss?

And then i love how he and Victor just stare at each other like 🫤 while Mr. House and Cooper talk. They both look so bored lol.

After he talks to Cooper, he takes his leave. Why did he stick around? Was he just waiting to be dismissed? Was he waiting to see if Mr. House needed anything?

It seemed like the most relatable thing. Bringing someone up to meet your boss and then standing there awkwardly while inwardly thinking “do I leave now? Am I supposed to stick around for this? Surely, he’d tell me if he wanted me to stay or not. He’s not saying anything to me. Hmmm. Guess I’ll just wait. Oh, now this guy is asking me a question. Yup, now seems like a good time to exit. Boss didn’t call after me so I think I’m good…”

The fact that they never acknowledge each other in this scene is wild. Neither of them greet each other. There’s no “here he is, boss” or “thank you, that will be all”.

I NEED THEM TO INTERACT. I want to know if those choices were Rafi depicting his character as someone who messes with their clothes when bored, or to show how nervous he is in the presence of the real House. I need to know if Mr. House regards his body double as a valuable companion or merely a tool.

Bro literally riled up blue collar workers so they’d drag him out in an ally, and then he asked the dude to punch him in the mouth. “I think I’d enjoy it.” Excuse me? He literally could have just spoken to the guy and then been like “hey, I have all this money. Do a favor for me.”

And NOW!!! He hangs out in a bathroom for who knows how long just to meet Cooper. Then he proceeds to antagonize Cooper, a former marine and a cowboy, and gets all up in his personal space. House obviously knew getting socked in the jaw again was a likely possibility.

Bro clearly loves annoying people and getting reactions out of them. Brat.

The fact that he lowered the blaster 😭

That eyebot really took me OUT 😭

I’ve been the #1 defender of this autocrat and then he has to go and obliterate my friends who always bring me gifts and tell me to keep up the good work??? You’re telling me the courier couldn’t sweet talk a negotiation between the two??

There better be a way I can prevent the massacre of The Kings in my next playthrough :(

I’ve been playing through New Vegas for the first time (so go easy on me) and am still learning all the lore. Right now I’m working for Mr. House—because the House always wins, duh—and based on the single scene in which he appears in the show, I think the portrayal is accurate so far. Besides, I don’t think we have enough anyways to say how accurate he is to the game.

The main complaint I’ve seen is that:

1. In the game, he says he predicted the nuclear war, but in the show, Barb straight up tells them how they’ll ensure the bombs drop

and

2. He wouldn’t have wanted in on all the vault stuff and experiments.

I agree with both of those and don’t understand why anyone has an issue with him being at that meeting. We know Mr. House had already made his prediction about the nuclear war and started his preparations to protect Vegas. That all happens way before the meeting.

The only thing that changes due to the show is that he now knows that Vault Tec will drop the bombs if no one else does. I think that is why he asked that question. Mr. House is a smart man. He heard all of them talking about making money and weird experiments and realized Vault Tec might actually sink low enough to be the ones to start the nuclear war. So he asks. And Barb confirms his suspicions.

He knew there would be a nuclear war. He knew it wasn’t just “hypothetical”. He already predicted the war (even having a date range in mind). What he wanted to know was how determined were they to “guarantee results”. He’s sitting there listening to them become giddy over brainstorming awful experiments rather than ideas to actually prevent nuclear war. Of course he would realize that Vault Tec might actually be the largest and closest threat right now.

Just look at that expression.

And why was he at that meeting?

Obviously, they would have invited him since he was the “nation's most infamously eccentric businessman” and had a net worth of at least 30 billion dollars. Why wouldn’t Vault Tec see if he wanted in on any of the fun.

Yet, Mr. House doesn’t engage in the conversation of the vaults other than to say containing people like that will make them destroy themselves. Even in the show you can tell he’s more interested in preserving life on the surface.

In conclusion, I’m happy with the portrayal so far. And I think the actor looks and sounds good as Mr. House. Let’s hope season 2 is just as good, if not better. I’m anxiously awaiting to see what they do with New Vegas and Mr. House.

Here’s to my favorite autocrat!

They really saw how fallout fans are about Hancock, decided to let Walton Goggins play a hot cowboy ghoul, and then were surprised at the reaction to him?? Look at that scrumptious ghoul.

Anyways, I’m just gonna scootch right in here… hi tumblr. I’ve been here a while just never posted. But Instagram sucks, and at least on here you can have nice discussions. And I am craving some fallout discussion.
