Men and women live in a giant silo underground with a lot of regulations which they think are supposed to protect them from the toxic and ruined world on the surface.
Finally watched Episode 10. Overall I enjoyed the whole Season and the last Episode.
From what I've read here the books are probably even better than the show so maybe I will read them after the final season (too often have I made the mistake of starting to read the books between seasons - e.g. "A Song of Ice and Fire" - which is a very BIG mistake :) )
Some things could've certainly been handled better. The pacing especially but also the switching between the two places. The amount of cliffhangers is crazy :)
While Juliette is still my favorite character, Jimmy comes in as close second, great character.
The only thing that really bothered me with this season is the time required to walk up and down the stairs. In Season 1 it took them hours or even days if I remember correctly.
Now they can reach the correct level in the time the stories needs them to reach it....
What bothered me with the episode...
Storywise the return of Juliette was handled properly...but how they displayed it was absolutely terrible. The director should be fired over this....
This was the moment we were waiting for the entire season and than they don't do it properly...damn.
- Something like this should've happened in the last possible moment, like in the good old movies where the bomb has to count down to 00:01 before it gets disarmed...but here it just "happened"...no dramatic effect whatsoever.
- Someone should've noticed it but gets beaten down before he can tell everyone. Only with her being closer all of them should've realized.
- We didn't even get to see peoples reaction to the "not safe outside" sign she held up, only Bernards... you show peoples relief and happiness for the person you love returning and then the terror of the truth...
I knew it was going to be the PEZ dispenser, but still liked the final scene... :)
...but if this is going to turn out that the Silos are some sort of experiment or prison and that somewhere outside or in space people live perfectly normal lives and are observing them or something like that I am going to vomit...
I mean that's bascially the same story the Divergence and Maze Runner (experiment) or Attack on Titan (prison) has....

Aaah, interesting! Curious to find out what they will use in the show - and what not. :)
Starting point for the generator to keep digging? A generator that's digging? I can't follow, please elaborate.
Note, I can get mixed up with the actual books, or the fanfiction, there was a lot of it and a long time ago.
In the book there was a generator that powered the digger that dug the hole they are currently living in. That generator was then taken off the digger and used to run the power for the silo.
The intention was that since the generator was being kept up and running over 100's of years (or however long) that once they are ready, they can disconnect it and put it back onto a smaller digger to get out.
It's a bit hazy, but I think there were two generators (large and small) and I can't remember why that was. It was the small one that was to help them escape.
The reason they can't just leave out of the "front door" as it were is...
...because as I said before, it's not safe outside because there are nano-bots that will kill you.
However those nano-bots are only within the sphere of all the 51 silos and outside that it's fine.
The bottom tunnel was meant to lead them up slowly and away from the this nano-bot kill zone.

So far I am enjoying it. It's been a long time since I read the books (and fan-fiction) so I may re-read them soon.
I don't think they will live outside... within the area of the silos, but outside that maybe
Two changes that I didn't overly like was... The tunnel at the bottom of the silo was meant to be a starting point for the generator to keep digging upwards to lead them outside.
The poison tube wasn't in the books either I don't think.

Wizard, can you share some theories, is this that fan fic you were talking about?
Not a clue. It's in none of the books I have read.
They have gone way off script
Thanks for letting me know. Do you like what they did with Silo season 2?
Maybe they'll change the story so they can live outside the silo? Who knows.

It's safe outside, but not safe because of the failsafe system?
It's not safe outside (according to the books) because there are nano-bots that will kill you.
The reason why Juliette lived is because she had a better protected suit.

Silo season 3 does not yet have a release date but we're guessing it could be released in mid-2026.
That's based on the gap between seasons 1 and 2 being released, which was a year and six months. If this timeline continues, we'll be looking at around May 2026 for season 3.
In December 2024, Apple TV+ officially confirmed that Silo had been renewed for seasons 3 and 4.
I also found that weird. :)
