@ I mean he’s obviously kinda freaky but I don’t thing any of us would be doing any better if we found ourselves in his position. He has sooo much knowledge but the emotional maturity of a teen, it’s just interesting to see someone like that interact with Jules who isn’t really a people person.
@geekademy Their interactions are not only quests, but a whole backstory being explained at the same time. Like how Solo explains how IT has it's own power source running separetely outside, completely hidden from the rest of the population. Then we see it in this episode when they shut the power off, IT stayed on.
Your thought that the book with the cipher being the pact instead of Wizard of Oz was my initial guess before they revealed the Wizard book in Bernard's desk. There's definitely a third person in silo 17. I think they have done a good job of balancing reveals with mystery this season. Acting has been top notch (not you "I only know how to emote anger" Common).
Just coz Juliette couldnt find food [in the time she spent searching before meeting Solo] doesnt mean there is no food. It's been pretty obvious since 201 that someone else was watching and sabotaging Jules, the cut rope, the rattle fan decoy/lure, the camera angles from above through shadowy gaps. I do like the split personality theory, but I find it unlikely. I think there's definitely another survivor or intruder in vault 17, someone closed the inner door of the vault after the exodus and everyone there on the day is dead on the floor. also re Solos true identity, I'm a non book reader but my prediction is that He was Russel's son, who ever he is, he speaks fondly of the real Solo and presumably Russel's son knew his fathers shadow....in an emergency Russel may have even broken protocol to save his life and allowed him into Vault. Why would he assume Solo's identity? until this week I assumed he was scared of some sort of recovery team from some of higher authority monitoring all silos, coming to retrieve the legacy archives. but now that we have confirmation the legacy is not just an archive but an ai, and seen it identify Lucas, we know that vault 17s Ai knows Solos real identity. "recovery team" was my guess for the other intruder silo17 till this week too, but the use of bow and arrow has me thrown. now im thinking it will be yin yang situation, Solo has been surviving all these years alone in the vault with all this food comfort and knowledge, while another survivor has been living a very different life for the last 3 decades.
12:48 The deep downers are contributing paper for the messages in the rocket. Paper appears to be controlled items in the Silo. I think the one who said, "this is not much" is the paper maker. He appeared once in earlier episodes but I can't remember where.
I think that theblast few episodes in silo 17 have camera angels from high above looking down... like someone has been watching them the whole time. Possibly waiting for their chance to get to the vault. Maybe thats why Solo is also nervous to leave it for too long
Hey mate, your chanell is absolutly great, love your reviews, and yes I read the book, but no spolier alarms, because I think the books are pretty different, all the best and a happy new year and escpecially to your new born!
My theory is solo is the sheriff's kid from episode 1 . I think he stayed back and didn't go out with everyone and took over the real solos identify and has just stayed to himself in the vault the whole time. I think they will show a flash back when the kids starts to fall back from the group going out in silo 17.
Since Bernard made a point that there are living quarters and plenty of food in the IT vault, I think we’re going to find out that someone has been living in the vault with Solo. That other person cut Juliette’s rope at the beginning of the season and also attacked Solo in this episode, because Solo was no longer following the Pact by dealing with Juliette. Also, Solo has to be the kid from episode 1, otherwise, why was that kid even in the episode to begin with?
In the book Wool by Hugh Howey, which the Silo TV series is based on, there is no mention of food being stored in the IT vault. The vaults in the book are primarily focused on maintaining technological infrastructure and containing sensitive equipment, but the specific detail of the IT vault having food is an addition made by the TV show for dramatic purposes.
Go back to S2E1 Juliette walks through the green field area, there’s a small patch of plants that survived. There’s a lot of small hints both the way the scenes are filmed and objects like the axe and blood that somebody is there.
I haven’t read the books, but at this point, I think the season finale is going to see the rebellion succeed and everyone about to go outside. Juliette is then going to return and tell them that it’s not safe, cut to black.
I thought that the Boom Cipher would be the Georgia Travel Guide for Kids, and the Sheriff still has it! Maybe the Sheriffs Department will help after all 😊
I think Solo is okay. Seems like he is aware that others might be in lingering in the Silo. He’s been too guarded with the vault and to your point those bodies outside of the vault too. Seems like this isn’t his first rodeo to fight to protect himself and the vault
A couple of observations: - The symbol delta (Δ) is widely used across various scientific fields to denote change or difference. Maybe the Legacy AI is informing the head of IT about a deviation from the most probable course of events as documented in "The Order." - I don't know anything about the bends, but I sure do know that an untrained person cannot hold their breath for as long while engaging in physical activity, such as swimming quickly to the surface from such a depth. The same cringe as with the non-spine-breaking cable. - When fake Solo was entering the vault pin, It was four digits, but Bernard is entering a six digit code. - I don't buy that the battery in that tablet is still working after 350 or so years. This is even more unbelievable than the cable and holding breath thing.
Can't the other person be using hidden passages and cultivating food with solar lamps in some part of the silo that is not submerged, or even coming and going between silos from the tunnels in IT etc? Not sure what is underwater but the doors being shut can prevent some parts to be breached and you can go there through the trash shaft or something.
5:10 i think thats a good point, the construction workers and the first generations of inhabitants would have been very depressed at the thought of the inevitable and eventual loss of the old world

i looked at page 77 of the wizard of oz. Its where they come to a big ditch that divided the forest in half. only way they can cross it is for the cowardly Lion to put them on his back and jump over the ditch. Mecanical is like the ditch, the down deep. Knox kinda looks like the lion with his beard but thats just a guess. Juliette is Dorothy. Bernard is the great wizard. Tinman and scarecrow not sure.
I agree. I saw that and immediately assumed multiple people were still alive but so far all we’ve seen is Silo and he apparently eats food from inside the vault. So, who is eating the food from the farm? Also, Silo is extremely paranoid about making sure he has locked the vault when he leaves it. He knows he isn’t alone in the Silo. Then when he panicked and kept entering his code incorrectly, he immediately assumed someone had done something to alter the code and asked Juliette “what did you do?”Silo knows Juliette has no clue about the Vault and its inner workings. So, who did he think entered the vault that had the knowledge to change the code and lock him out?
Couple things, i think the word that summarizes your and the geekademy love for the attention to detail is “Immersion” the greater the attention to detail, the more easter eggs and nods, the graffiti, the time on the clocks, the greater we are immersed in the universe the creators have constructed, and we love that shit 😅 #immersive Next sorry about the time waste on the wizard of oz, and in solidarity when they first suggested it was a book he wanted uncovered i also immediately thought the pact…but the wizard of oz makes so much more sense. Not only does the previous judge make constant references to it, you have to look at the meta value. Its a book about a whole society that is being “duped” by a charlatan, manipulated. Ask yourself what kind of message would be so mind blowing that the judge wouldnt even share it with the mayor and only wanted to flee the entire place like that very same charlatan wizard does at the end of that book. I haven’t read any of the wool series but if i was gunna hazard a guess, they are probably all living some massive lie just like the people of oz..
What if Solo used that ID because he doesn’t know who he is? He saw the name SOLO and liked it? What i he’s been alone since early childhood? Or my favorite….has a twin.
With the latest episode, it seems that the series will depart from the first book. No need to be worried about theories being taken from the books anymore. What happens in the series now should be anyone's guess.
i just subscribed a week ago or so great videos one point i would like to mention is early on in season 2 when solo showed juliette the harmonium/chalkboard room you see a whole bunch of 7 or 8 digit numbers going up by 1 each time and crossed out im thinking solo hacked into the vault not tricked the real solo just a theory or thought though
I like your theory on Solo! I remember couple of episodes ago, when Juliette looked at the picture from his childhood or something, Solo got confused and it was clearly shown that he is lying.
The guy who speaks Hebrew saying "a leader who has spent too much time in power needs to be replaced". I certainly hope nobody in Israel misinterprets that statement.
14:23 that’s pretty obvious, both Solo and Kennedy both revealed on camera to other characters that IT had its own dedicated power line coming from the outside.
Why is nobody talking about the wizard of oz and maybe the book foreshadowing that everything is smoke and mirrors and Bernard is just a slave to the pact. Or that maybe Salvador Quinn is the Wizard and just making it appear that he’s more important than he actually is
@@geekademy this theory comes from the fact that when 'our' Solo was explaining where this nickname came from, he mentioned it was Russell's son who misunderstood real Solo saying 'I'm solo' (he meant he came alone to the party, and Russell's son understood it's how he's called). If you don't think Russell had a son, why do you think 'our' Solo came up with any Russell's son? That doesn't make sense to me, but I wonder what's your reason to think so
It seems like they don’t know how to transition to new stories so they’re just going through every last atom of this one story line. I wish they’d have an actual reveal where we find out the rest of the world is totally normal outside the 50 silos. Or it’s a cult or whatever

And also irony
The joke really went over your head didn't it?
@@StarDMC26 Nothing would go over his head. He would catch it!
I know people are complaining about side quests but I find Solo and Juliet’s interactions so fascinating, I really am enjoying it
I do too. But not for 7 episodes. Need some progress
Solo appears to be a psycho, but his truth is sad and meneangful once revealed

Great work on producing a video that doesn’t just recap but explains and theorizes. Great stuff brother!

If you watch s02e01 again you see that kid go outside so it can’t be him.
@kayleebR02 exactly. Might've been lying with his mother, I think

It’s not really possible at all for it be Timmy besides we see his dead body.
Isn’t it too long for the kid to be alive??
Go back to S2E1 Juliette walks through the green field area, there’s a small patch of plants that survived. There’s a lot of small hints both the way the scenes are filmed and objects like the axe and blood that somebody is there.
You deserve far more likes and subscribes. Your content is thoughtful and sincere, and you don’t use an AI voice to narrate like Marvelous and others.
I haven’t read the books, but at this point, I think the season finale is going to see the rebellion succeed and everyone about to go outside. Juliette is then going to return and tell them that it’s not safe, cut to black.
Reckon she comes via the tunnel at the base or the way she came?

Igor I was the girl who had the arwen and Aragorn and gandalf posters on my walls in 2003. I always appreciate your perspective
I never even thought about the Pact! Genius!
Keep going man! Love the channel.
Thank you!
excellent analysis, subbed 👍
The dude who got shot and is in the sick bay in mechanical saw what was on the hard drive, so he also saw the power lines to IT and told the Sheriff.
I think Solo is okay. Seems like he is aware that others might be in lingering in the Silo. He’s been too guarded with the vault and to your point those bodies outside of the vault too. Seems like this isn’t his first rodeo to fight to protect himself and the vault
THANKS FOR TAKING OUT THE TIME... GREAT RESEARCH...
Atbash Cypher was also used by knights Templar and they have a secret group called The Order in the silo
googled wizard of oz page 77. It's a Tin Woodsman chapter. The characters are attempting to cross a big ditch in the yellow brick road.
I think there might be a Miro among the paintings.
Great video and insight into the show.
A couple of observations:
- The symbol delta (Δ) is widely used across various scientific fields to denote change or difference. Maybe the Legacy AI is informing the head of IT about a deviation from the most probable course of events as documented in "The Order."

In Shift, Solo was living off stored food, much of which was stored in the secret area in IT
Possibly the other people in the Silo 17 are from other silos who were sent out to clean.
When they went to see meadows... They turned the power off and the girl saw the power didn't go off in IT

the exact same edition?
Level 120 has a farm from what I heard Bernard say.
122
So if you need to decode the letter with a book... the decodings on reddit are wrong?
Ofcourse. Did you have any doubt about it?:)
This is the plot… this is how fast it will go if you want more seasons.
11:50 I think a giant tip-off was that farming was somewhat running when Juliette walked by in episode one.
I agree. I saw that and immediately assumed multiple people were still alive but so far all we’ve seen is Silo and he apparently eats food from inside the vault.

bends donlt occur unless you breath compressed air (tanks). with surface air I don't think you get bends, ask a pro diver to clarify..
never mind, wrong.. if you go deep long enough yuo get nitrogen in your tissues.
who attacked solo? you will be surprised when Solo tell Juliet about the attacker lol
Icarus? Looks more like Da Vinci’s Flying Machine…
I think solo is Russell's son, and in order to use the vault Russell's kid had to use the shadows name
I don’t think that Russel had a son

Solo has a split personality. Lucas is a main character of this story Juliette is not.
The husband and wife are kinda important because they playing both sides.
Ofcourse they are.
