"Another week, another episode of Fallout. This week saw lots of use of Lucy's (Ella Purnell) "Golden Rule" and a look into the politics of the Brotherhood of Steel. In many ways this episode felt like a significant step forward for the series, but it also took its time to honor Fallout's past. From iconic locations to lore deep cuts , there was no shortage of callbacks. Let's take a look at what "The Golden Rule" had to offer."
"This week's episode showed us a flashback of Shady Sands in its prime. While we saw the bombed city in the first season, this season gave us a look at what life was like in the New California Republic settlement before it was destroyed. Longtime fans will recognize Shady Sands as one of the first locations you can visit from the original 1997 Fallout game. Since the series is canon to the video games, its destruction is the city's eventual fate."
Lucy repeatedly uses the Golden Rule while internal Brotherhood of Steel politics move the plot forward and shape character choices. A flashback presents Shady Sands in its prime, revealing life in the New California Republic settlement before its eventual destruction. A mind-controlled stranger brings an armed atom bomb into Shady Sands and repeats the New Vegas NPC line "Patrolling the Mojave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter," highlighting patrol monotony as a lore callback. The Brotherhood appears to gain an Area 51 base that houses old-world artifacts and a frozen Zetan alien tied to Mothership Zeta.
