Insights from the 2.01 script that stood out to me:
Cooper tempting Lucy by appealing to her curiosity, just as Moldaver did in 1.08. I love the characterization of Lucy as being insatiably curious and what that will mean for her relationship with Cooper going forward as well as how she navigates the wasteland. I just know Lucy has A MILLION questions for Cooper and she won't be able to leave well enough alone. She has to go after him and won't be satisfied until she gets what she wants.
"...but this is still Lucy, so she has to try to find a peaceful path forward."
Lucy's moral resilience and steadfastness in who she is, despite the cruelty around her.
Cooper's flashbacks are set three years before the bombs drop. That's very interesting for the timeline. A lot can happen in three years... (also a little continuity issue with Janey being shown as a similar age in both the flashbacks and in the cold open of 1.01 when the bombs drop—she should have been older.)
[The Ghoul] "RECOGNIZING THE OBJECT"
Apparently Cooper recognizes the black boxes?! And is "putting it together." Therefore, it would seem he knows about the experiments, likely because of House. Or maybe from Barb? I'm interested to see this play out in the next season.
