After a successful day of grading (and a lab practice session), I got 
home and wanted to watch:

Fallout (Prime) - "The Past" (ep. #1.5). Maximus is back in this epie, 
but no Ghoul.
    Maximus unwisely tells his squire, Thaddeus, the truth of his 
identity, and Thaddeus reverts to true form by being a coward and 
freaking out - he basically tries to kill Maximus by locking Maximus in 
his depowered suit. (Hopefully, Maximus kills Thaddeus later!) Lucy 
comes across Maximus, and frees him from his suit, and in return Maximus 
gives Lucy radiation treatment (for the radioactive water she drank in 
the previous epie) - What is the science here? What is this magic serum 
that cures radioactivity?!!... (I know this is from a video game, but 
you think they could do better than this!) Anyway, they together agree 
to hunt down Thaddeus to get the head back. Lucy asks Maximus about the 
200 years since the bomb, but Maximus seems completely ignorant. We do 
find out that there was at least one attempt to restart civilization, 
with the "New California Republic", but its capital (in the LA area?!) 
was apparently bombed somehow - this is where Maximus lived as a boy. 
Towards the end, Maximus gets winged by some "Fiends", and needs medical 
attention, which Lucy attempts to acquire in an abandoned hospital, but 
instead she and Maximus end up in a vault!!
    Meanwhile in Vault 33/etc., Norm continues to investigate, and 
determines that every person who has been an overseer in both Vaults 33 
and 32 has come from Vault 31. When Norm asks Stephanie what life was 
like in Vault 31, she gets all weird. Betty (Leslie Uggams - and, yes, 
she's from "Deadpool"!), who is also from Vault 31, is elected overseer, 
trouncing Woody and Reg by such a large margin that it seems suspicious. 
Betty then orders Vault 32 be repopulated, but Norm and Chet are 
astonished to see that all traces of the massacre have been "cleaned", 
in a very short amount of time.

Then I watched:

soaps: GH - Tues' ep. This was pretty much a "throwaway" ep., as it was 
entirely about Brook Lynn's and Chase's bachelorette and bachelor 
parties, respectively. (So no Carly, Sonny or Nina.) The only real 
developments were that Dex is getting the cold shoulder from almost 
everyone else in the Port Charles Police Dept, and a drunk Josslyn 
getting into another fight with NuKristina, and revealing to Kristina 
that Sonny ordered a hit on Cyrus.


What did you watch?
