Silo (Apple TV+) - Premiers May 5th


Captain Ron

Recommended Posts

The season was too disjointed with 2 minutes of RF and then back to 5-10 minutes of everyone else. Just a bad editing decision. 

Spoiler

Read the books ages ago so a little spoiler

Spoiler

Yes we'll be getting some backstory as to why the Silos were built

Spoiler

And the reason Bernard said "actually 51"

Spoiler

The writers basically confirmed RF will be in season 3, which is why I don’t think it will solely be the prequel book and they’ll blend that and parts of the third book together and then do the ending of the third book and series in season 4

The Congressman is from Georgia. The book was about Georgia

Is that Atlanta in the distance then?  GA congressman is Army Corp of Engineers - the silos could be in the 15th district of Georgia (which is not a real thing)

Someone posted that the "Algorithm" voice in the vault is the same voice as the actor.  The actor is credited on IMDB without a character name. 

Hmmmm

iirc there wasn't a dedicated prequel book, but there were flashback chapters interspersed with "present"

Not using spoilers because anyone reading should’ve watched the finale by now.

The flashback scene was presumably in Atlanta because they referenced a dirty bomb in D.C., so it would be uninhabitable. I suppose setting the stage for nuclear war with Iran, and the silos being created as a nuclear fallout plan.

It doesn’t make sense that the outside air is still contaminated from nuclear fallout. It’s been hundreds of years, and even if there is ongoing nuclear war, radiation poisoning wouldn’t kill people in minutes. The level of radiation needed for that would easily penetrate Juliette’s suit.

It’s still entirely possible the outside air is now safe. The inhabitants of silo 17 died when they had their uprising and went outside, but that happened when Solo/Jimmy was 12 years old, so the situation could have improved since then.

I think another possibility is that the air is naturally safe but the person or entity (AI voice that spoke to Lukas and Sims) is working to contain the inhabitants and has the ability to use poison gas on people as they exit the silo. There could have been a mass gassing of silo 17 when they fled. The people in silo 18 likewise get poisoned as they go clean, but Juliette’s tape protected her and she doesn’t yet realize that she could survive outside without the suit. Just escape the immediate area and find clean air.

All of this seems to be an elaborate scheme to control a population of people in enclosed spaces and attempts to create a structured society with rigid rules that deter their escape. I would be shocked if the silo is somehow necessary for human survival. Maybe an AI has taken over the planet and sequestered humans for unclear reasons.

I thought this was implied by Solo and so Juliette had to lie and say it’s not safe bc the same thing would happen to 17 as happened to 18

I thought the flashback was in DC, didn't they show the US capitol?  I swear I saw it.   I assumed a dirty bomb had gone off in or near DC but obviously didn't destroy everything, but there is still radiation around, that is what they did a radiation scan when the congressman entered the restaurant

“Silo” Season 3 is already building out its cast.

Variety has learned that both Jessica Henwick and Ashley Zukerman are set to appear as series regulars in the upcoming third season of the Apple TV+ post-apocalyptic drama based on Hugh Howey’s “Wool” novel trilogy.

Zukerman will play Daniel, described as a “young and hungry congressman,” while Henwick will play Helen, said to be a “whip-smart reporter.” Both actors recently appeared in the Season 2 finale and will continue in the same roles in Season 3.
