![]() ![]() Later, because of their malfeasance, Bryukhanov and Fomin were sentenced to 10 years in prison one year after the Chernobyl disaster. Although he initially refused, he did follow the orders and received a fatal dose of radiation because of it. Fomin ultimately ordered deputy chief operational engineer Anatoly Sitnikov (Jaime Sives) to observe the reactor hall from the roof. Everyone but a handful of engineers believed that the core of reactor 4 was still intact, and two of those people were in charge of immediately managing the situation: Viktor Bryukhanov (Con O'Neill) and Nikolai Fomin (Adrian Rawlins). According to Mazin (via The Chernobyl Podcast), one such story is a worker who understood the reactor exploded, then chose to go home, take a nap, and return to work knowing that he'd most likely die.Ī large portion of Chernobyl episode 1 focuses on figuring out exactly what happened. Practically everything that the people from the control room did the night of the reactor's explosion was adapted into HBO's Chernobyl, but, unfortunately, some stories were left out of the miniseries since those accounts didn't directly affect the core story at hand. The two men who rushed into the control room to deliver the news of what happened actually did do that, and what they said, as well as the responses to what they said, are also true. In that regard, Chernobyl stays incredibly accurate to detail, even using real dialogue recorded in the book, Voices of Chernobyl, by Svetlana Alexievich. To them, or at least to Dyatlov, it was believed that one of the tanks had exploded, not the reactor itself, since that was considered impossible at the time. Eight years after his death and 10 years after the Chernobyl disaster happened, Legasov was awarded the title of Hero of the Russian Federation by Russian president Boris Yeltsin.Īfter Legasov hangs himself in episode 1, HBO's Chernobyl immediately switches over to the disaster itself beginning, with the explosion of reactor 4 and deputy chief-engineer Anatoly Dyatlov ordering everyone in the control room - all of whom were actually in the real-life control room when the accident happened, and some who died shortly afterward - to manage the situation. He then commits suicide in his home, two years to the day (but perhaps not to the minute) after reactor 4 exploded at Chernobyl. ![]() Legasov is shown recording tapes of the true account of what happened at Chernobyl - tapes that have been used to further understand the events that followed the fire - as a way to combat the failed cover-up by the Soviet Union. HBO's Chernobyl begins with the introduction of Valery Legasov, the deputy director of the Kurchatov Institute of Atomic Energy. ![]()

![]() A few years in, connections led Mercer to Felicia Day who at the time was running the multimedia production company Geek & Sundry. The origin of the group came from something simple: a living room Dungeons & Dragons game. In The Legend of Vox Machina season 1's final moments, Percy is seen constructing a brand new pistol, free from any demonic influence, Pike has spent the entire season powering-up and finding herself, and as mentioned above, Grog found a new sword.Currently in its recently-launched third campaign (Vox Machina was the first, The Mighty Nein was the second), Critical Role features friends and voice actors Laura Bailey, Travis Willingham, Marisha Ray, Ashley Johnson, Sam Riegel, Liam O’Brien, Taliesin Jaafe, and Matthew Mercer. Scanlan is still the same old bawdy bard, but his powers appear to surge after discovering the glory of heavy metal increases the potency of his Scanlan's Hand spell. Her communion with the Sun Tree has unlocked never-before-seen spells, such as a brilliant, evil-repelling light, and portals in tree trunks. Keyleth may not have the power of love, but she does possess the power of elemental magic. ![]() Vax and Vex don't receive any power-ups, but both finally decide to stop running - their commitment to Vox Machina now watertight after almost ditching the dysfunctional group earlier in the season. By the time Legend of Vox Machina's season 1 finale ends, each and every character has evolved, either in their personal arc, their combat prowess, or both. Learning new moves and getting stronger by leveling-up is a vital ingredient in any role-playing soup, and it's fascinating how The Legend of Vox Machina honors that in the context of a TV show. even if what she might want is a knife-throwing half-elf who flirts with local shopkeepers and loves her. Having only ever considered what her father and her people want, Keyleth perhaps isn't considering what she might want. Despite growing more assured with each episode, Keyleth remains focused on completing the Aramenté and becoming worthy of leading the Air Ashari. Both have been guilty of making goggle-eyes at each-other through Legend of Vox Machina season 1, so why doesn't the Ashari druid drop an L-bomb of her own? Since The Legend of Vox Machina began, Keyleth has struggled with self-confidence, and been burdened by the weight of her tribe's lofty expectations. Keyleth clearly does have feelings for Vax. I'm sorry." Only slightly better than " it's not you, it's me" or " I see you as a friend," Vax's ego takes a mighty blow. Vax reiterates his feelings during Legend of Vox Machina's season 1 finale, but gets shockingly rebuffed, as Keyleth replies, " I just can't. ![]() More significant, however, is the simmering love story between Vax and Keyleth, after the half-elven warrior declared his love during a zombie scrap several episodes prior. Yes, The Legend of Vox Machina's season 1 finale is mostly sword fights, summonings and setups, but there's personal growth too - such as when Percy leaves Whitestone to Cassandra, when Vex learns to accept Keyleth, and when Scanlan spots a muscular topless man working up a sweat. Keeper Yennen certainly thinks so, telling Scanlan she believes the artifact is connected to " something beyond the veil." Because the summoning took place too early, the Spinning Orb of Death might've been left as some kind of doorway to be activated in the future. Perhaps if Delilah's ritual had been completed at the appointed time, the Ziggurat could've returned the Whispered One there and then. The Spinning Orb of Death only appeared after the Whispered One flickered into existence, and we know this fabled spirit instructed Delilah and Sylas to seize Whitestone for both the Ziggurat, and the magical-amplifying stone known as residuum which surrounds it. Though getting close certainly isn't advisable, the orb just sits there happily vacuuming up magical energy, so is unlikely to be a weapon or enemy in its own right. The Whispered One appears very briefly, but all that's left behind after the summoning is what Scanlan calls a " spinning orb of death," which negates magic within a certain radius, obliterates whatever it touches, and mystifies everyone. ![]() This ritual apparently should've coincided with the solstice, but Vox Machina's heroics force Delilah to begin ahead of schedule. Unlike Percy, she's fully conscious of the deal she made - in exchange for resurrecting her husband, Delilah has promised to help bring forth the Whispered One from wherever he currently dwells. Just like Percy, Lady Briarwood is in league with a dark force beyond Exandria's mortal realm in The Legend of Vox Machina season 1. ![]() ![]() ORBIS is a part of Menasha Corporation, one of the oldest family-owned manufacturers in the United States.
