I assume the last scene is real because we see it from an outside perspective and not her perspective through the mask
Yea and she didn't see the other silo's we saw it but she hasbt yet unless she removes the head gear
Last theory is suspect. The reason the view changed when Juliette topped the ridge is because she was out of range of the servers' ability to overlay the (false) utopian scene. They would not have revealed the other silos intentionally.
Yup, that's why I questioned it in the video.
That’s the one that makes most sense
But Juliet's view didn't show her more silos it just showed plain ground but we can see the solo's unless she removes the head gear
I assume Robert ran to the computer to turn off the fake view in her mask, a moment later we can see her view change from beautiful to post-apocalyptic
Or maybe the VR projection just stops when you walk away from the sensor? You ever walk off with a Bluetooth speaker?
My theory is Bernard is going to use a secret tunnel to get to a central server to contact that other silos. It looks like that room opens up into a hallway if you look at the lights reflected in his glasses. I suppose they could be tunnels to other silos, but it makes more sense to be to a communication room imo.
Yeah, the big reveal leads to me think there is a higher power, and our boy Bernie is just another step up the ladder towards whom or whatever is running the show. The respective Silo bosses have to be in communication with each other somehow, right? Thanks for coming through! :)
I’m thinking Bernard ran to inform some higher ups in other Silos that Juliette was going out of range. But that’s just a guess. So glad there’s going to be a second season!
Yeah, that's what I think happened. Once she roamed too far, she became a problem he couldn't control.
@@nautilusfilesso the other people just “accept death”? Where were the bodies?
@@TheRealRunningwolf1980 people can accept a great deal.
There was a cafe screen glitch showing green outside when they turned the generator off too. check it.
I seen that too…it still bothers me that NO ONE in that room mentions it 🥴
@@TheRealRunningwolf1980 it bothers me too. How come everyone becomes blind to that scene of the glitch? What is the point of it?
The time when they cutted off the power was around 10pm or something but night and then suddenly we have seen the glitch in the cafeteria and it was obviously fake cuz theres a sun and it was a daytime not a night time..
I was hoping you’d comment on the existence of the other silos in the final scene. Great video! I’ve been waiting for your theories on this show!
Hey, thanks! There are some interesting ideas about what is going on in those other Silos and I'll definitely cover some of them in a future video.
@@nautilusfiles have you read the books?
Silo reminds me of all the Fallout Vault-Tec horror stories.
And i am here for it 😆
The thing I keep puzzling over is that so many elements we see seem to contradict each other. For example:
The silo is massive and obviously built for habitation and well-designed in advance. It's not like this is just some repurposed missile silo that people took shelter in at a moment's notice during a catastrophe, and it couldn't have been built overnight. But the apparent conditions outside the silo certainly imply the aftermath of nuclear war or some similar calamity.
If the calamity was unexpected, then they couldn't have devised the silo to escape it, because it would have taken too long; the calamity would have killed them before they could build it. So... that means they knew the calamity was coming, either because they had forewarning of it or because the makers of the silo also triggered the calamity.
If they had forewarning, and they just built/sheltered in the silo to survive (with no ulterior motives), then it's hard to imagine why they would do things like deliberately suppress/erase their own history, deliberately restrict technologies like video cameras, etc.
So it seems most likely to me that the makers of the silo created the conditions outside (whether they're worldwide or more local). And the only rationale I can think of for making the residents of the silo think they're the only people there are (i.e., not telling them of the other silos), forget their history, suppress technology, etc. is that this is all some kind of experiment.
Perhaps each silo houses a population built around different rules and constraints, just to see how people react to them. A sort of lab for discovering the best ways to control and manipulate a population, maybe?
Great ideas here. The "experiment" theory is a strong one, IMO because, as you laid out, it speaks to motives better than any other that I've come across so far. I'm sure most of us are eager to learn about the exact conditions of the other Silos because it will fill in some of the massive gaps in story related to the origins of the Silo. Until then, when you look at what we're given, so much of it doesn't add up if the official story is true. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with me.
@@nautilusfiles wouldn't that make it another fallout then?
This is my own theory too. I was thinking why the separation of the silos are so crucial? If they meant for sheer survival than they should be able to trade and talk to each other, not to mention avoid inbreeding. The only explanation i could think of that they are control groups to each other.
And since the "control room" has newer tech than the rest of the silo, someone must have interviene somehow.
@@zsukocsisnegal4276 tbh I think the separation of the silos is to avoid one thing going wrong wiping out the entire population
Something like "don't put all your eggs in one basket"
So, even if one o the silos went through infighting, an epidemic or whatever, it wouldn't wipe out everybody
guys do you know about the Metro game series.İn metro exodus computer game,people lives in tunnels and many years they think they are alone and they are the only one who survived.Then main character arthur shows up,learns the truth.The truth is;there is other peoples,communites who is survived,but the mans on the top doesnt wanna learn people this truth.I think its familiar what is happening in Silo too.There is absouletly other peoples and communites,and the mans on the top doesnt want people to learn this fact.
LOL -- I totally stayed subscribed 😂
And I find it amazing at 8:00 that the 3rd wall glitch was really caused by a 4th wall glitch! The fact that the writers will have to retcon this reminds me a bit of the goats in Severance 😏
ravenlord! Yeah, I think this kind of thing happens way more than we know, but we probably wouldn't hear about it most times lol. I find it kind of hilarious too. Now the writers now have to work backwards to make it make some sense, while likely trying to make it -not so easy to guess why it happened.
5:05 Juliette only survived because 'They're good in supply'. She only survived because Walker made arrangements for her to actually have a 'real', high quality, efficient hazmat suit. Also, maybe the fake images turn off simply because Juliette is no longer on her own silo grounds and she's thus outside of broadcast range.
Not suit but the tape.
@@DVictor23it was the heat tape all along….
My first instinct was the suit was the poison. We know thats wrong cause of thr tape, but the spray beforehand could still be the poison. That still fits.
The air outside is toxic. The fake VR in the suit was made to trick those who decided to exit that they were “right” and to make them boast by cleaning the sensor camera. By the time they did all that it was enough for the toxic air to kill them. Everyone else in the silo would see them die and by doing so keep them compliant to stay inside
I know there's something missing because the silo was prepared the built 150-200 years ago. It should look like the aftermath of the Chernobyl disaster in 1986, with green vegetation taking over after humans activity was removed from restricted areas due to nuclear fallout from the accident.
Spoiler…. The solo was being watched by people outside the silo. That is why turning off cameras so risky. They let the relics out to see how people behaved and to give reason to send people out to clean. The image in the suit was to guarantee they would want the others to see and wipe the lens. The tape saved her from the gas on the way out. Outside won’t be safe for a while. All silos not meant to survive.
Theres more 18 silos or more, suggested by the 18 numbered harddrive with all the blue prints of thier silo, plus the keychain that lit up numbered 18 with the special key.
Thank you so much for making a theory vid on this! I only watched the series because of your previous vids and I was waiting. Lol stalker!!!! It’s a good thing tho 😂
Thanks, Starr. Glad you enjoyed it! There's a lot more of that coming soon :)
It still could be safe outside. The better tape used could have protected from the gas in the decontamination chamber.
So no one is gonna mention the “big metal door” at the bottom connects the silos?
The large metal door may have led to other active or inactive silos based on power generation, but it was closed and flooded for unknown reasons over 200 years ago. It possible connected to the other silo.
can't wait for s2. hopefully it answers a lot of the questions. great video 💙 would you ever consider making Snowpiercer (the show) videos even though we're a couple of seasons in?
Thanks! I haven't seen the TV series, so I can't say for sure but if I like it, I will consider it. I wish I had time to get to all the shows I want to talk about lol
@@nautilusfiles ty for even considering it, but absolutely no pressure. I'll take any content you make even shows I havent seen. I appreciate ur channel so much, its the best thing I stumbled on this year and I cant wait to see which other videos are in ur list!!!
I think an irradiated/poisonous paradise can absolutely happen, plants and animals have a much better chance to adapt to it, and not every toxin deadly to us is deadly to them. Protect people from a beautyfull but deadly hell is a great idea. Reminds me of the second quartell quell from hunger games, the arena was the most beautyfull place ever, but everything was deadly, flowers? Poison. Water? Poison. Butterflies? Murderflies
the Silo seems to borrow somewhat from the Matrix series. Juliette seems to be following the same path as Neo and Bernard seems to be similar to a cross between Agent Smith and the Architect. The set up of the silo is the system of control and the occasional cleanings and uprisings are a means of population control with a dollop of eugenics mixed in. the question is, if the silos were built to enable humanity to survive an apocalypse, then why are there multiple silos so close to each other. Prudence would suggest that the silos should be widely separated so that a natural disaster that happens at one, doesn’t take out the others. also consider that when a cleaner goes outside that they are doused in a toxic substance that causes the suit failure.
The Nautilus strikes again!
Loving this as I literally only mildly liked Silo until the ending episode lol. Silo aside, however, I felt compelled to tell you I watched Planet of the Apes (1968) last night without knowing anything about these movies. 🧐
Also, I’d definitely be a cleaner.
Lastly, can’t wait till we find out about 1) the rebellion and 2) the Severance uprising. 🎉
Nice! What did you think of it? Planet of the Apes is a classic.
Silo took a few episodes to grow on me after the shock of realizing Allison and Holston were done after the 3rd episode lol. Fortunately, Jules grew on me, and the mystery/stakes kept getting better.
@@nautilusfiles did you realise the apes are an allegory for AI? 🤔 There's the surface story for the profane and then there's the real story underneath the surface for the initiated. I wish there were more channels devoted to the deeper story that reveals elements of reality intentionally being hidden from humanity by the powers that rule over this planet.
I somehow missed the significance of that rush to the server room. Good eye. I got impatient and read the plot synopsis of the books on Wikipedia, but the TV series might go in a different direction.
Hey, Rendall! Yeah, I think the general theory works, if that scene and its timing means what it suggests. There are other theories that read it differently, speculating that he was trying to keep the augmented reality up on her visor, but she went out range of the signal by that time. Who knows? Right now, this one seems plausible enough.
The Apple seeds are used to make poison to kill them in the suit.
If the feed in her helmet of the dystopia is fake wouldn't the connection drop eventually as she walks further from the silo?
Depends on where the signal comes from. We don't exactly know the source, only the timing. It might not come directly from Silo 18, but some other point. It could also be localized to the suit, but Bernard has the ability to kill the feed via the server. Other theories suggest he was attempting doing the very opposite; trying to keep her paradise ARG up, but she was out of reach before he could do so.
Depends if it is wifi or Bluetooth
I’m pretty sure the mayor did something in that room with #18 🔑🤷🏽 I wonder if #18 is their silo number?🤔
It is.
I couldn’t wait and read the books 📚 and had to find out. The nice thing with the books and TV, the TV is different than show.
I'd have read them by now, if not for these videos. I don't want to spoil the mystery while I'm making them, but you can bet I'm buying the set as soon as the last season airs.
Great video! 6:25 😂!
Hey, Eva!😊That was one of the greatest laughs I've ever heard. It just had to be in the video!
They're on a spaceship. It's always a spaceship in these scenarios. Even when it's not.
Im leaning towards a long game experiment... Premise, surviving WW3... Imagine building all the silos in an area secluded enough to Bomb the whole area around it to subject it to radioactive conditions indefinitely. Perhaps Australia. Holston died with his helmet off, poison atmosphere cause of a calamity, unlikely. Radiation however... Underneath, water likely an aquifer able to supply experiment indefinitely... The giant doorway mentioned and the tunnel shown in the maps off the harddrive, probably leads to the other silos... Some things to wonder about? Did the other silos have rebellions, pacts, and limitations on technologies as well like the magnification, and no transportation my mechanical means... The generational gaps in technology between the silo, and the listeners is pretty wide to... Everyone had machintosh commodore PCs from the 80-90s and IT had access to closer to more modern surveillance technology and the means to deploy the systems covertly... The relics do present issues, but if its all an experiment being monitored from say china, US or wherever, the goal is gonna be control and maintaining population... Theres probably more firewalls of knowledge above bernard and while he probably has communication to higher authorities, he probably doesnt have access to the other silos... An experiment would probably keep them insulated from knowimg about the other to keep the data derived contained from correlated factors... on some level there maybe information related back and forth, but compartmentalizing everything as much as possible would be desired from an observational standpoint... My intrest in the show came from a realization that most people just accept the way things are and there are far less of us who question things beyond what everyone else just accepts... At some point a rebellion will happen and those who submit will always be slaves to there own acceptance regardless of who come out in the end. History doesnt repeat, it Rhymes and Karma isnt a bi+ch, its a mirror IMHO... Cant wait for season 2..😉
You really should read the books, they are great.
Need season 2 now.
what if the existence of the other bunkers are omitted to avoid people thinking of raiding the other bunkers in the event that their own bunker fails?
I still dont understand why elevators and magnifying glasses are forbidden in the silos? Why is that? Even if the world is actually apocalyptic, why are those things so strictly illegal to build
They don't what them developing
Elevators are banned to make the silo seem bigger. Being stuck forever in a bunker that takes several days to cross is better than spending your life somewhere where you can reach any place in minutes. Also, breaks up the population into several smaller communities.
@@AndrewCZ47 well this could be true
Read the graphic novel, that went beyond the series, it is not exactly the same, and it does not mean it will be the same outside.
Why is no one talking about, where the steam is coming from that powers the generator, it's a plot hole, or something the writers never delved into
More like something that can't be revealed yet. It will be when we learn who built the silo and why.
Why no lifts?
Isn't this based on the books?
The spray is so suspect
Huh - kinda like religion and how it has been translated? 🧐 interesting parallels
I've read the books, so I won't spoil it for you, but the destroyed world view is correct.
i think maybe he changed it so she would come back and be living proof that the outside is not safe
What I don’t understand is why they show a barren land and dead bodies vision to the people inside the silo from the screens and once they step outside they show another vision with trees and birds?? SOMEONE EXPLAIN PLEASE MY BRAIN HURTS
I thought it was to get people to clean the cameras to show the people inside the silo that is beautiful and clean outside. There is no other incentive to get people thrown out to clean them.
@@JessevinsYou are correct. That and the fact that the faulty tapes were designed not to allow anyone past the crater.
Hopefully the mc is more likeable in season 2
Look, you are complicating this:
The false image in the helmet was designed to inspire and give false hope to the cleaner before their death. This in turn would inspire the cleaner to clean one last time. Because the tapes were replaced, and Julie made it past the tree, this false hope was shattered after walking away from the signal range revealing the actual world and the other silos. She was not meant to see these Silos. Bernard is managing Silo number 18. Most likely warning other Silo managers about a her walking around.
What I like to know is, where did that Hard drive with a number 18 come from.
Everything goes to the bottom which in this case is the mines so what are they mining for and what do they do with “unneeded” resources one theory is the “leader” of each silo controls it to mine for people who live on the outside and maybe it’s a economic/population control or political even, some sort of world order
I also think there are people living outside
Oh man I can’t comment on these. 😂😂😂😂
I believe she is seeing the real world.
You gotta read the books. I’m almost done with the series.
So both the window display AND the helmet is fake? Wtf is this show lmao
Read the books and it ain’t what you think it is
There is book for silo?
@@amirrajablo3743 Silo Series by Hugh Howey - Goodreads
A series of dystopian novels and short stories set in a post-apocalyptic world where humans live in underground silos. Explore the Wool, Shift and Dust trilogies, the Silo Saga omnibus and the Silo Saga Kindle Worlds stories.
What's an interplanetary vessel large enough to contain the remaining population of a dead or dying world called?
But that doesn't explain the basement water.
Did they show close up shots of people as they died? Any signs of freezing, burst blood vessels, other vacuum of space stuff?
Instead of poisoning, I mean.
Maybe city is actually propulsion system?
Silos independently maintained, so if one fails, it's not universally catastrophic?
But they don't seem to walk in magnetic shoes, although they move unnaturally slowly.
There's a shared reservoir of water at the bottom.
Huge door is hatch to communal reservoir?
Gravity works by constant movement of vehicle.
They don't have enough fauna to maintain food, oxygen levels, vessel or not. Common problem in science fiction.
I have another off the wall mystery. This is a manufactured environment. Everything was planned.
So, where did that rabbit come from?
Erasing history, artifacts, etc. is what Israel is doing right now, BTW.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Hey, GG! Oh, we're going to get into spaceship theory soon. It's a good one. Yeah, the existence of the rabbit and the importance of relics in the story are the only bits that are hard to work out, if it were true. The emphasis on "preservation" in certain lines of dialogue give off "bomb shelter" vibes. It's just as likely that they are in some kind of larger vessel, with a canopy or "sky box" that fakes the dystopian vista lol. It just seems odd that they [Bernie] are so hard-up to keep everyone inside when that shouldn't really require a while lot of arm twisting, given the circumstance. There's a greater ruse afoot!
Also, 100% about the use of the same playbook being used IRL.
Wrong. Israel is defending itself against a murderous people who want all Jews killed. Those same people want all non-Muslims converted or murdered. Get real. Remember who destroyed priceless historical sites and artifacts in Egypt and Syria?
What a nice catch on the rabbit! It reminded me of the name of Juliette and what a big deal is when someone knows Romeo and Juliet. I think Jules's mom named her after an ancient love story because her flamekeeper spirit!
What I don't like in the spaceship theory is that sometimes there are no stars, that suggests me that they have clouds. You can't travel so fast that sometimes you have a sky full of stars and next day its totally empty because of the lack of stars
We know what's really outside the Silo. The show told us. This is a pointless theory video.
Honestly, my penits is outside of the silo.
