Silo (Apple TV+) - Premiers May 5th

[Js1 85733]

Can’t wait 

[Js1 85733]

Finished my season 1 rewatch last night. Damn was that such a good season. Can’t wait for season 2

Rebecca, you are my queen 

[Red Five 41062]

Does this drop tonight at 8?

[Js1 85733]

It should, yes. That's my assumption.  Think just 1 episode though, which is rare for Apple, who usually drops 2 for a premier.

Season runs Nov 15 - Jan 17

She was on Seth Meyers the other night. She might be the sexiest woman in the world. 

[Radical Larry 28672]

First episode is out.

Watching Fallout in between the last time I watched this show has really confused the storylines for me.

The crossover we didn't realize we needed.

The internet can’t handle an Ella Purnell/Rebecca Ferguson crossover. But maybe The Ghoul shoots Common in the face so…

I've got some pretty great ideas.

[Nice Guy Eddie 13539]

Rewatching season 1. Hopefully finish by the end of the weekend. Glad I'm working through these episodes because I had forgotten some story lines.

All I’m imagining is them scissoring each other. And my pants are going crazy.

Watched the first episode and thought it was good. At least we know for sure the outside air is still toxic.

[kevwun 15942]

Not sure about that.  I think it's the gas they treat them with before going out.  The silo she visited was open to the outside air.

Then why did all those people who escapes that silo die??

[kevwun 15942]

That's a good question, but the doors were open to the outside.

[Ted Lange 16153]

I think they died because there was still radiation from a nuclear war, but it’s gone now.

That I buy. Because she did not touch her suit directly after she got out of it. 

[wild_turkey 3219]

That's a good question, but the doors were open to the outside.

I guess I need to watch the intro again. There was an uprising and then they opened the doors to go outside. Their silo was sealed up until that point, otherwise everyone would’ve already been dead inside. Am I misreading that?

[wild_turkey 3219]

I think they died because there was still radiation from a nuclear war, but it’s gone now. 

I could see that being the case. We don’t know how much time passed between the Silo B uprising and Juliette entering Silo B. Could’ve been decades.

[Red Five 41062]

It would have to be an insane amount of radiation to drop people in their tracks immediately like that. 

[Js1 85733]

That episode would have been really good back to back with episode 1, instead of a week later.

Meadows / Bernard dynamic is interesting.  Common is being frozen out. 

[Red Five 41062]

That better be the last episode we get with zero Rebecca Ferguson. 

[SubliminalHorn 6823]

She emotes through her mouth and its goddamn annoying 

 

[bschoolprof 6280]

so episode 3 dropped today instead of Friday.

Last night. Bc of the holiday

I find my attention waning when they cut to non-Rebecca Ferguson scenes. I don't think I care all that much about daily life/politics in Silo 18, when it's unrelated to the mystery of the show.

The stuff in 18 with Meadows is interesting. The stuff with Common and Mechanical, a little less so

[bschoolprof 6280]

What is the tit for tat that meadows is offering that was hinted at in ep 2?  She is getting her hot air balloon to escape from oz. But what did she do for Bernard?  Give him some advice he didn’t listen to?  Or perhaps we don’t know what she did yet?

[Macanudo 13077]

I was about 95% sure who is playing Solo and like the choice.  But it feels like they are really dragging this whole thing out.

His voice is pretty distinctive 

[wild_turkey 3219]

In season 1, it felt like this show originated from the 70s-80s based on the style of everything and the old school technology we saw. In this season, it feels like there is present day technology, at least the wireless camera in Juliette’s suit and the server room. Those things are far more advanced than the retro desktop computers we’ve seen. Which makes me think the silo was intentionally designed to look older or be more simplified than it actually is.

This entire thing seems to be about population control and the majority of inhabitants are being heavily deceived. Bernard was aware of the failures of the other silo but the common man isn’t even aware there are other silos. The question is who is in control and why are they doing it.

I think the memory wiping drug plays a bigger role. Perhaps the silo isn’t actually 100+ years old and there never was a revolution all those years ago. Perhaps these are all first generation inhabitants and they just can’t remember the origin.
