    Jonathan nolan has a history of being great at starting a story, and making it too big to finish. Just like season 2 of fallout, his shows open too many threads to finish. Season 2 has 10-12 story threads, meaning none of them get enough time to actually close the story because there’s not enough time in a season to really tell the story, and it just winds up dead. He can’t finish story threads.

      He can’t finish story threads.

      that is def what we’re seeing here… what I guess I’m asking is how does such a thing get out of preproduction - one would think there’s be someone standing in the corner going “gee guys we sure do have a lot of dangling threads here and it’s ep8 maybe we should uh start connecting uh”

      the production values are certainly top notch. just get someone who understand the arc of stories to write it for fuck sake
