Fallout star reacts to Moldaver fan theory: "The lights go off"
Sarita Choudhury addresses whether Moldaver could have survived...
**Warning: Spoilers ahead for Fallout season 1**
It's been just over a week since all eight episodes of Fallout debuted on Prime Video, and so far the video game adaptation has gone down a treat with fans – so much so that it has just been renewed for a second run.
Of course, there's been no shortage of talking points for those who have already binged the first season, and one of those concerns the fate of commander Lee Moldaver, who appeared to die after playing a pivotal role in the final episode.
While she very much seemed to pass away, some fans have put forward a theory that she could actually have survived her injuries – so when RadioTimes.com recently spoke exclusively to star Sarita Choudhury, we asked her what she thought.

"It's so interesting because a lot of thought goes into those things," she said.
"I love that there's ambiguity, but also, the lights go off for Moldaver. That's how I see it. And especially because she just gave light with the cold fusion."
She added: "I just came up with that now, so I don't know, but it kind of makes sense, even just with the closing of the eyes."

The series had not yet been officially renewed when we spoke to Choudhury, but the star did reveal that she would love to return for another outing, whether that be in flashback form or having survived her wounds.
"People are asking me that and of course, after seeing the show, I'm like, 'Yeah! I want to be back,'" she said.
"I would so love to look into her background and what happened pre-apocalyptic and post. I'd love to see Moldaver after the scientist, what happened before she became such an extreme raider."
Fallout is available to stream on Prime Video from Thursday 11th April 2024. Sign up for a 30-day free trial of Prime Video and pay £8.99 a month after that.
