The Legion has fallen... Was this really Caesar's dream? Maybe an NCR victory would have been a better fate!

He doesn’t know but he based on an evil dictator

Dialogue with him is so funny sometimes, he swears every other sentence and it’s almost worse than MacCready 😭

My immediate thoughts after discovering this show

[thepalecaesar]

The burned man was born

Around Vegas, it's the best place not to forget that tipped domino chain reaction can be launched in both directions.

First, Caesar wiped away some tar from his own hands all over his face Then walked away all over his life

Beware the Ides of March, they may belong to any other month of year

My overall take on season 2 of Fallout is that it displays a pleasantly surprising level of reverence and understanding of the themes and the lore of the games, but it does so within a medium that can't be used to fully capitalize on that understanding unless they make the faulty assumption that everyone watching is also familiar with the games.

Ceasar's little stunt with the note is a great microcosm of that; contra some commentators I've seen, I think you can fairly easily square that decision with his behavior in Fallout: New Vegas, the thoughts on the unstable structure of his empire that you get straight from the horse's mouth, the go-big-or-go-home mentality inherent to trying to take Vegas as the capital of his empire in the first place instead of just consolidating control of Arizona. If he thought that there would be no victory within his lifetime it's entirely plausible that he'd take the ball and go home rather than try to groom anyone to succeed him. All this before the question of what implications the brain tumor might have had on his decision making. It makes sense, but everything potentially impactful about it I think is likely to be lost on a show-only viewer, because they have nothing to contextualize that note against. Show-Caesar isn't a character in his own right, he's an effective coda to a story a lot of people really liked, banking on the transfer of the positive feelings a plurality of the audience has towards that story. Given that that coda chewed up the better part of two episodes, it's kind of dancing on the knifes edge of my patience in terms of assessing this as a self-contained story.
