Summary

Sharpened pencils down! Ben Lindbergh and Daniel Chin discuss the momentous, if somewhat scattered, sixth episode of the second season of 'Fallout,' "The Other Player." After sharing their overall review, they recap and dissect each of the (many!) main plot threads and character developments, break down the story revelations, and greet a new guest star with a crucial connection to ‘Fallout’ lore. They also scrutinize a mini–musical number, speculate about what could be coming in the final two episodes, and react to the announcement of a 'Fallout' reality series.
