Halo fans

[Dog1]

Last night I watched the first two episodes of Fallout. The first two episodes of Fallout was better than the first two complete seasons of the Halo show.

The Fallout series proves that if someone is faithful to the source material you can put a quality product on the screen. Halo proves that you can put two underwhelming seasons on screen when you are not faithful to the source material.

Just like when Dave Filoni took over the Star Wars animated stuff from the Clone Wars, Rebels and The Bad Batch. Quality animated Star Wars content. Because he is a Star Wars geek and he is faithful to the source material. Then you look at the last three sequels and you see what happens when you're not faithful to the source material. You get three underwhelming movies. With the exception of Rogue One.

That was quality Star Wars. So was the Mandalorian and Andor was not bad. Ahsoka was meh at times

Where does one watch Fallout?

Amazon... and the best thing about it is they dropped all eight episodes at once

Well phooey. I'm out of luck then.

If I know of someplace you might be able to watch it I'll let you know wink wink

I've had free trial Prime memberships before but never could figure out how to watch their streaming service.

Just spend the 35 bucks on a fire stick. Streaming works through the prime website on my Linux PC as well.

Wouldn't the fire stick require a Prime account too?

Now I don't know if that means you can watch Fallout or not. You might be able to but it also might have ads if you're not a prime member. But don't hold me to that

I can live with commercials. The cheap version of Paramount+ that I have has commercials. I might look into the fire stick. Does it just plug into one of the tv's HDMI inputs?

Yup... I don't know about the new Fire Sticks because all of our TVs are streaming capable so we don't have any more Fire Sticks but if you can plug it into your Wi-Fi router or somehow with a ethernet cable, it's a bit more stable than streaming it wirelessly. Unless you're really close to your router.

The problem for us was the fire stick receiving ability was a bit weak so it did not want to stream very well because our house is older and it has the aluminum backed insulation in the walls. That screws with the signal if it's not closer to the Wi-Fi router or wired in

Just signed up to Paramount Plus and this is on my list to watch. I know nothing about the game and did not even know there was a book. So with that being said I hope to like it.

Wait, what? You're not talking about the LOTR trilogy (movies) are you? Those follow the books pretty closely. Guessing it's something different since I don't recall Amazon having anything to do with those.

I loved Peter Jacksons LOTR films. I thought they were amazing.

I do not follow the books or canon, and I do not take following anything to closely that seriously, so I actually enjoyed the Amazon LOTR series. It had a couple episodes early on which where a bit slow but by the end it, was really good.

Ah, okay. I didn't know anything about the Amazon version.

There's a series of several books. Some better than others. They used several authors.

Yes, it is a prequel series. Like Lucas did with Star Wars. . . only better, much, much better.

I don't think you get free Prime with a fire stick. It's just that you don't have to have prime to use it as you can install other streaming apps on it, and there is some free content, etc. It's been a minute since I bought mine and we have prime so I could be wrong, but that's my understanding on Prime and fire stick.

I think you're probably right however if you were to buy jailbroke fire stick.....

I see one of the fire sticks comes with Alexa voice control. That'd be a deal breaker for me.

Everything comes with voice control nowadays, unfortunately.
It’s just a button on the remote that you have to push and just say your search terms.

I have the fire stick 4K, which I guess is the highest option unit. I have no trouble receiving Wi-Fi signals anywhere with it.
