Every episode I have had a different theory, overall here’s my thoughts - suits are pumped with poisonous gas - the silo is a experimental human bunker made by outsiders or Bernard’s boss - Camille found the hard drive with Sims first when they were raiders and set out a plan to rule the silo to set everyone free - if you watch the video of the birds there is a missing bird at the tail causing a gap between the pack also they fly at different speeds therefor it’s just a coincidence - Allison literally tells us before she’s sent out to clean “They have the ability to change what we see on the screens” - beyond the hill in the main screen in the cafeteria, I am imagining Juliette stood on top of that hill and we get POV shot of heaps of silo entrances - the tunnel is a link between other silos, it runs horizontal and not the slightest vertical. They’re at least a few hundred metres under ground - everyone who has looked at the hard drives contents is either dead or sent to clean, Juliette ain’t dying she’s the main, she is the one getting sent out to clean by Bernard - the device with the 18 on it either communicates when the hard drive is being used or it’s a red light, green light communication tool from his boss who is watching every move. Red = your screwed if you don’t find Juliette - (what was taken what we took) could possibly just be referring to, how did we end up here? I believe it’s a phrase by the makers of the silo relating to them taking control after they took freedom - as more theories come to mind I will right them before the 10th ep
Definitely agree on the suits being pumped with a poison gas, maybe carbon dioxide. I think Holston realized that and tried to get fresh air by taking his helmet off.
@@thehypearoundit’s the screen, not the suits. Like his wife did, even holston decided to clean the sensor just before he starting towards the tree. It’s the sensor which is pumping poison.
No the suits are not pumped with poisonous gas, the Gas or Dust are Nanobots that are released to the corridor leading to the outside when people go out to clean, as the suits are not tight the bots are inhaled and start to do their work.The books explain this and more in detail!! Sorry for the spoilers
Silo is a masterpiece so far! first edit : OMG so many replies! i didn't expect this. FYI i haven't followed the novel series, so im realy a new member to this franchise, will try to read the books after S01. I know this series is very slow paced but i like it so far. The cinematography is very good setting a dark and mystery vibe. As the season progressed it felt very tensed and claustrophobic because of the loneliness of the protagonist in her pursuit of the truth. Hope they give us a proper finale cause im already waiting for the season 2!. Cheers all
The first book is also really good. Tough I have to say, I like the show better so far. It adresses a good bit of the gripes I had reading the book and it expands on a series of key characters I felt had weak development in the book. Possible spoiler below. Tough I feel conflicted knowing the first season is only about half of the story in the first book. On the one hand I like the deeper development of the story, but on the other I have to wait one or two years for the second half when some major shit goes down.
It's far from a masterpiece, because a majority of its episodes so far have simply presented mysteries but practically no answers. The first two episodes and this latest one are good, because the first two are intriguing and the most recent one is suspenseful; however, the episodes in between them have been predominantly uneventful and slow paced, ramping up in only their final minutes in order to present a cliffhanger that was designed to get the audience to return for the subsequent episode. The show doesn't have enough meaningful storytelling; a majority of it is empty.
I'd also add For All Mankind to that list. While it had somewhat dipped in quality in the last season , it's still some really good alternative history about the space race period (that gets extended well into the 90's for reasons explained in the show).
@@brucemacdonald5532 *_Raised By Wolves_* showed a lot of promises but ended up flailing about in every direction and just being weird and often unsatisfying. *_Severance_* has been more of a slow burn but consistent. Such a cliff hanger,..I want to see season two
I noticed the birds too. I first thought that the helmet pumps some kind of poisonous gas into it that kills them to make sure they die when they go out, but I don’t know. I wish Holston took his off the minute he got out there. I also don’t understand why Sims would freely talk like that in his house, when he knows they can see/hear him. One more thing, Holston couldn’t see his wife until he took off his helmet, so it’s definitely a screen in there. I also think that there’s more silos .
My guess is that the green grass n blue sky are fake. It’s there to “push” the cleaners to wipe the sensor because they want to share what they saw with the people inside. I had a similar thought too about the suit pumping poisonous gas into the helmet. Why else would Holston fight to take it off. As for Sims, he should know better to not speak like that anywhere especially his apartment. Bernard is definitely listening and spying on Sims. Who know 🤷♀️ maybe, because of this, Sims and/or his wife will become Juliet’s ally.
I think what kills them is something in the air itself The reason people are dying is something to do with the tape they wrap around the gloves, there's apparently two types of tape, the bad and good stuff They probably purposely use the bad stuff knowing people will die within minutes. The tape has been mentioned numerous times in multiple episodes to be a coincidence and the fact Juliette "stole" some, I suspect she'll put on a suit, put the good stuff on and survive.
I doubt his wife was actually there. My guess is that he was going in that direction to go over the hill, just like his wife, but on screen it makes it look like he's going to her. Remember that we actually never saw the outside from his perspective after he took off the helmet, we saw it from inside the silo on the screen.
By analyzing the Silo’s blueprint/cross section, my personal theory on the water ‘not being a worry”… is that the tunnel is located just above/near the waterline and the water is only a knee or waist deep. Greatly appreciate your theory vids, fun stuff for sure. Cheers
I honestly think Camille just means their only goal is to protect their son, nothing nefarious. I think the show is humanizing Sims to prepare him to switch sides in the chance his wife get's sent out to clean. Otherwise I don't think the scenes with his son have any other purpose.
@@dgwalters1 It is more an expression of disappointment over additional setback which I observe most commenters have been interpreting as a gradual deliberate campaign for ultimately relatively benign motives. not a quest for power in and of itself. When their son comes to seek comfort from his father and tells him that he wants Juliette Nichols dealt with and never wants to see her again, I think the look Robert Sims gave Camille indicates a recognition that their sacrifice in hiding their ultimate cause from everyone including their son has the consequence of that son falling into the trap of fear which the Silo's draconian rules and enforcement tends to engender and encourage.
It’s to humanize Sims, I agree but I don’t think Sims would ever let Bernard send his wife to clean. I feel like Sims has more influence than Bernard in 18.
Excellent analysis. And great catch on the birds. I didn't notice that. I went back to EP2 and watched the 1st Sheriff go out. You can't see much in the close-up scenes when he removes his helmet but there does appear to be a lot of light around him. And you can make out something like a tree in the background. So maybe there is an AR-like view generated in the helmet screen, but unfortunately we do not see what the outside looks like when he removes his helmet. That's the key piece of info we need. Also, there has got to be some kind of poisonous gas pumped into the helmet to make the cleaners die so fast. What would be interesting is if a cleaner volunteered to go out without a suit or a helmet. Then the question would be, would the mayor even allow this to happen since they control what the cleaner sees via the helmet and probably also do the poison. Or it could be in the pact somewhere that you have to wear the suit when you clean. Anyway, great video. Very thought provoking. My prediction is that Jules will not be cleaning in EP10. She's the main character. So maybe Camille or one of the guys who helped her. If it turns out to be Camille, Sims is going to go off the rails.
Friendly suggestion/ask: I thought there was a lot of good comments but found it hard to read without breaks. Line breaks. Paragraph breaks. Or if you prefer, if it makes more sense to you, separate comments
I wonder what does Barnard know about the outside world? When he was questioning Lukas about what he thinks what the “lights” are, it was like if he were asking a 5 year old child. He clearly knows what they are, what if they are not even stars, as the question seems to be posses to us as well? The stars seems to play an important role in the plot because otherwise why even create that plot line, but I can’t think of where they are going with it?
I read the summary of all three books and I won't spoil it. Just know it's crazy! And it's worth the wait to see. Not sure if they are going to change anything either. Bernard is scared and for a rightful reason but I won't say why. I can see the show changing the reason.
Lucas’ pictures show a few constellations that he believes to be rotating around a central point just above their view throughout the night/year. The one constellation that both he and Julliet mentioned looks like a “W”, that is Cassiopia.
I've read the books and I can't wait to see how they end season one! I have a theory, but after episode 9 I'm not sure if I'm correct. Hugh said S1 covers about half of the first book. I'm excited for all of you who are new to the Silo saga :)
@@MadTAII my guess is there will be plenty of time between S1 and 2 to be able to read all the books. If you enjoy reading and want to know the rest of the story, I highly recommend them. If you're fine just watching the show, then that's up to you. There are differences between the book and show. One big omission has me second guessing how I thought SO would end. It has to do with the heat tape Juliette "stole". She discovered something about it in the book, it it hasn't been mentioned in the show. My guess now is she will escape the silo through the big door George found. That just a guess, because that not how it went in the book.
Yes agreed- that’s unrealistic. It’s the writers ‘mystery box’ style of storytelling ..with the few amount of reveals each episode this show is bordering on the edge of storyline boredom and engagement..stringing us along. Sure hope there’s payoff in season finale.
@@Val_Halla777 Thank you for saying that. You and I are the few fans that open our eyes to see this show is (pardon the pun) filled with fillers. Anyone calling this a masterpiece must be kids who haven't seen what great shows are. Let's get real here. The books were pretty pedestrian to begin with. Translation it was average at best so this is a real opportunity for a show to elevate the books storyline with better backstory that actually makes sense and complex nuanced villains instead of the typical big brother watching over you dystopian oppression cliche we've seen countless times like in Brazil , 1984 and Equilibrium which has cool action fight scenes too. This episode all we see is Jules going from one room to another hooking up a hard drive and see her scrolling thru a file directory clicking start here to show a video of green trees and blue sky that we all predicted back in episode 2 and for George to say I love you. An hour long episode to see a directory scroll just doesn't cut it as great entertainment. Final episode needs to be better. 🤞
I have a theory regarding Bernard's necklace @10:00 - It shows all the 18 silos, each of the circles, interconnected by the `hidden' tunnel and door Julliet is about to find, which is the square bit connecting the circles.
I was so upset when Paul burnt the book. I agree that it's some kind of video / VR / AR thing, you can also see that the birds are the same in ep 1 when they're reflected in Allison's eye. But I also think that the environment outside is not what they say it is and that Holston and Allison are still alive, or at least one of them is.
@@TheBoy-j6w I think there are about 4 different versions of that environment that pop up on the screen when the power gets cut off and turned back on, some of them also look like the sun is high up in the sky and others look like a sunset / sunrise, I haven't read the books so I don't have any answers, but I don't think we can fully trust the gray or the green.
I don't think Danny helped Jules escape since he had no idea she was involved until she was already there. My guess is the door is above the water line if the incline in the blueprint is to be believed. Nice catch with the screens when Sims shows up. I find it interesting how it says "Silo 01 Level 17" so maybe this is the only silo, and the system designers had more optimistic plans?
I wonder who Bernard is talking to when sending someone out to clean, that must be in the next episode but I wonder if it's Paul or Sims? Juliette would be the obvious answer but she'll go down deep to the water whereas Bernard will be staying up top. Silo is the new gold standard of TV for me, so so good
@@aaronburrell3729 Ohhhh that's a good idea. I'd love to see it happen. Maybe she will find out more from the drive about something they do to the suits when they send people out to clean.
I don't know how many seasons that might take. I just want to be sure they get enough of a head start so that I don't read too far ahead of the show once I do start reading. At the moment, I've been considering holding off reading any of the original material until the end of season 2.
Well ratings always drop season over season as fans bail. That's normal. Right now this show is dragging its feet with lots of fillers and that's okay all shows do that. But it needs to get alot better. The source material wasn't that great to begin with so this is a real opportunity to make the show better. This whole gov't big brother watching over you hiding the truth has been done so many times so they need to add more depth to the story to make it better.
@@jonfreeman9682 you're *_probably_* right. Even if you're not _"absolutely"_ right and it's not *_always_* the case but it *_is practically_* always the case that ratings decline consistently over the premier release lifetime. In a conversation with the *_Silo_* novel series author, Hugh Howey, during their *_Ty and That Guy_* podcast, the episode released June 14 2023 on UA-cam, Ty Franck and Wes Chatham from *_The Expanse_* got Hugh to share that he found the TV show to be a better version of his story because of the collaboration with so many professional artists behind the scenes in production. Hopefully that becomes evident and leads to a growth in the audience
I will say this: I have been so right about my theory about the whole Silo and what's outside that I've been banned on the show's subreddit and people kept telling me I obviously read the books. So I'll say just this: Juliette's going to clean and she'll be in the next season. The 18 keychain is apparently truly a pager and what got me banned in the subreddit was theorizing it's someone not in Silo 18 and who's running the Silo programme.
When jules restarted the core a bunch of episodes ago the screen at the cafeteria showed a different image for a split second far more luxurious and green than the regular wasteland we see!
Wow a bunch of theories/thoughts. Amazing episode, great analysis @thinkstory! Juilette will need to obtain a new way of getting to the tunnel or one of the antagonist assistance (Sims? After his wife is sent to clean) in order to get there, sans that... she's cleaning. Checkpoints, watchers, Benard are too much to overcome. The Video (The Helmet, the Lunch room, the Hard Drive) is a system of Control. Like the One (Matrix), it gives those who think they have discovered a Truth, a fake focus on a hope that will only end in their death. It is the inevitable result of the revolutionary mind. As Gloria told Holston's wife, it's all about the "right type of people". Holston's wife (and Holston) became obsessed (unlike Juilette), thus couldn't see the larger threat (Holston KNEW he was being watched, yet focused on the lie) The question is: Who is the person broadcasting the video? It's NOT the folks in the janitorial ops center. The video was put on the hard drive as a library item. It glitched on (in the lunchroom briefly) when the power went off. Meaning it's on the same feed and always on. Also, it's a wireless signal powerful enough to reach outside (seamlessly triggered as you step through the door i.e zero latency). Sims and family have a long term plan to either rule the Silo and avoid the wraith of whoever Benard is terrified of (Silo Builders?) OR construct their own Revolutionary State in revolt against them (Silo Builders). He wants the same thing Gloria does... He just knows the Silo residents ain't ready (and under Benard's rule never will)... yet. I think the revolt (140 years ago) was against the Silo Builders. (Like the Architect resetting Zion in the Matrix) 18 becomes 01. Proof: Sims knew of the Book (He watched Juilette reading it) yet didn't commit any resources to confiscate it. Nor did he tell Benard Juilette had it. The Book is waaaaay more dangerous than the Hard Drive (ask Paulie "F the Pact" boy). The suit doesn't need a sophisticated poison/air system. Too many secrets to keep. The outside is toxic. An inadequate filtration system is all that is needed to kill in moments. The GOAL is to prevent you from getting to the TOP of that hill! The suit needs to modified by... (an engineer) to allow the proper working air supply. Question is WHO gives Juilette the heads up and the time to make the adjustments (Benard or Sims)? Finally, I'm way more interested in the abandoned Silo Shaft, it's proximity to the Silo. Why does it contain the TUNNEL and not the Silo itself? Was it supposed to be Silo 02? Why is it airtight yet no one tried to live there (in an apocalyptic event, going to an underground "airtight" water pure place would be hard to miss) No life... is curious. I think it has something to do with the Silo 01 versus 18 mystery. Can't wait to read the book after the finale!
Assuming that someone convinced them all into the silo at one time and the 18 key is to a Nuke to blow up outside where rebellion broke out and the door is an exit... Adult City of Ember...
Couple of my own thoughts: 1) When George said the water is actually nothing to worry about my initial thought was that it's probably actually very shallow. Maybe that would be too easy but something we need to remember is no one knows how to swim because they've been in the silo for 140+ years. 2) Adding to what others have said about the outside world we see in Jane Carmody and Coulsten's cleanings (I'll call this reality B), this must also be fake because when mechanical shuts down the geberator and reality B flashes on the screen in the cafeteria briefly, it was 10pm so it doesn't make sense for the image we see to look like it's the middle of the day. Maybe I'm missing something there though so feel free to correct me. Also please no book spoilers in the cimments as myself and many others have not read them.
The fact that there is a season 2 means there are other silos out there. The mysterious door and tunnel in the schematics is the conduit between the 2 silos. The question now is what is different about the other silo? Why have multiple silos at all? The answer is each silo has a special purpose meant for a different class of people akin to Snowpiercer. I have not read the book, but thematically, this is the best path forward to season 2.
@@DanDog91orld Order Organisation 50? L is the number 50 so I guess the WOO are acronyms? W is definitely World and one of the Os is either organisation or Order or both. Kind of like New World Order I guess. The number 50 does not make sense though. Only if they tried to create 50 different ruling methods and see which one is the more efficient?
@@DanDog91 oh that must such, I would have loved if they were Silo 50 and make their way up to level 1 but I guess all other silos below 18 must be failures.
Where do we think this tunnel leads? An adjacent Silo, another way up and out..? Also, the door being 15 ft high has to hold some significance. It’s very well hidden, so it’s not for show. What function does it or did it serve?
Theory: The big door under the water leads to more old harddrives from before the rebellion that reveals the Silo and the peoples history from before the Silo itself. Alternative theory: The big door under the water leads to another Silo far away.
Alternative theory #2: The big door leads to a giant warehouse of more liquor, more cameras, more one-way glass, more very old hard drives, more very old keyboards, more computer processing and RAM memory chips, more network wifi routers, fancy 6K resolution displays for the janitor/surveillance closet, more glowing FOBs, 10,000 advanced environmental exploration suits in sizes from infant to XXXL, more watches, more Pez dispensers, and more Georgia travel guides. Also, microscopes, x ray and mri machines, and cryo freezers with rabbit embryos in vials Alternative theory #3: The plutonium warheads and ICBM launch systems originally planned for the silo.
It's wrong. What everyone keeps saying about the bird migration isn't the same footage. There's another young tree in view by Halston Becker and also the trailing birds are in different positions. While this footage could still be falsified, it isn't the same. That alone cannot be the indictment. Also, the lighting when the camera is facing Allison or Halston Becker is brighter than the view projected on the display in the cafeteria or holding cell 3.
One thing that stands out to me, 144 years the silo has existed and there is 144 levels. Either they like coincidentally playing on numbers or it means something 🤔
The silo is much older. The rebellion is 140 years old and the files on the hard drive are dated “silo year 97” (02:10), so the silo is at least 237 years old.
Thank you for your reviews of this show! So I don't understand where you see the next episode trailers. They are not at the end of the eps and I'd like to know where/how you can see them? Can you help? Thanks for the great analysis!
My guess is that there are other silos and this is all just an experiment like every other movie we watched. Maybe it was an experiment that went wrong. Like in Fallout games they are supposed to leave but what if the people in power decided they rather have power then leave and as time passes it became something else. The only problem is why wouldn't they want to leave other than losing their power? It looks nice outside. Also all the people seem to die around the same spot outside. Maybe there is a perimeter gas or something.
the poison gas has to be in the tanks on their backs fed into the helmet. the whole suit is pretty expensive to be only used once. I had a thought just now that the suits were all faulty and they couldn't reliably determine whether it was actually safe outside. So, rather than tell people that they will never have a way to plan a way out, keep hiding it from them that the suits don't work until they run out of them and people go out anyway regardless the consequences
I'm just recently caught up on the show and I'm so confused re: the videos / screens. The Jane file is from 140 years ago and it's basically the same as the vid that Alison and Holston saw 140 yrs later. Why would they think that is reality currently? Also, we know the people in Silo is seeing the cleaners dying - so that seems more likely to be the reality. That suit definitely is pumped with poison, we saw them spray Alison's suit. Reality is probably somewhere in the middle? environment is not as deadly but certainly not green and blue like Jane's video. Cleaners are dying because of the poison gas
Commenting as I'm watching your video so there might be more comments but I kind of thought the water was like a hologram or something. Or maybe a projection. To where she would just fall and just land on the ground.
Guys who else hates that they give us 1 episode per friday anyways thank God apple has the crowded room cause I don’t know what i would have done when silo was over
Hate? Learn patience please. It'll do your self a favor and everyone.😂 Shows like this are only enjoyable if you're force to stop and think about them and use your brain. It's the most exercise that gets for the majority of this culture so it's uncomfortable for them. This promotes discussion on social media. That engagement helps attract more viewers. Alternatively, without the breaks in the storytelling, everyone would be done with the series and be less inclined to discuss and less likely to attract the audience needed to attract advertising and fund production of the show. Imagine a book club where everyone was told to read only up through to a specific number of acts/chapters but each was given a different number. Would someone have questions about the ones prior? Maybe better, if stage theater goers were pulled from the theater after the finished watching different acts. The show never performed a second time. Fifty percent see three acts. Forty only see three two first acts ten percent see only one act. Would the largest group have theories of what will happen in the second act? Would they spoil the mystery for the people in the smallest group if they were discussing in a mixed space with them? See these comments about all at once releases too often. People who don't want to wait can simply not start until the entire show has already been released
Just a thought, but do you think that sims might've been the guy that asked billings to be his friend (espeically given the story with sims' father sorting it out after some bullying incident)? Would be majorly significant in how/why sims is playing a long con
When Holston takes off his helment, you'll see there's a lot of artifical light around him... I'm assuming they are in some room and what's projected on the screen is all filtered/fake.
I noticed a lot of light but not that it was artificial. It seems to me that if the screen in the cafeteria and the holding cell 3 are artificial, they're spending a lot of computation power to render these decaying bodies. They could cut down on much of that if they allowed cleaners to get to the top of the ridge before collapsing.
i had a theory that they gas the suit with chemical thus killing them, making the others in the Silo believe that going outside will kill you and i think im right.
@@XxAziCodxX1 but the video of all is the same what they see outside - didn't you saw the birds they are in same configuration and the sheriiff took his helmet off and still was not able to breath?
I think it’s a link between other Silos, the tunnel is so deep under the silo itself therefor would need to be so much more steeper than pictured in the video. It’s runs horizontal and not the slightest vertical? Who knows
@@MadTAII if you look close enough you’ll notice it’s a similar configuration, but the first encounter they were fast and a tight group, the second encounter the group was split and missing the 1st of the 3 birds at the tail of the group.
4:03 Did anyone else notice what looks like a pipe coming out of the tunnel door on the blueprint? The door looks to be twice the height of the tunnel itself. I suspect the opening of this massive door will require the skills of a master engineer....can't imagine who that could be! :P I think when he says the water isn't a problem is because it's shallow, not deep and he probably means everyone in the silo has a fear of open bodies of water, having never experienced one before. Juliette has probably conquered her fear of water after the generator/drowning scene. I'd always assumed that 18 was the silo number, but it's curious the display says Silo 01 I think, as you said, the device Bernard has is a pager, he's being paged by someone higher up than him to get in contact for an update. I always thought the video we saw briefly in the first episode of the lush outside, was a prerecorded video that displays on the helmet, not an actual recording from inside a helmet, that's interesting. So who was that person who went outside? and how did they get the video recording on to the hard drive? Wireless? I think it's clear though that the outside IS a barren wasteland, as the physical evidence we see ourselves is when the hatch door opens, all that post apocalyptic/wasteland dust falls into the stairwell, on both occasions. The only other proof is when the sheriff dusts the lens, we see it from our perspective and it's clearly filthy, as is the plinth the camera is attached to.
Great insight! Your comment about the helmet being a pre recording makes me wonder then, how did Holston know exactly where his wife was laying if it was recording? I rewatched that part and her body doesn’t show up in his helmet 🤔 it’s not until he takes his helmet off that he starts to crawl towards her. After I watched that episode initially, I wondered if there is some kind of poison they release in the helmet once they go out to clean. I’m assuming that judicial or whoever it is, doesn’t want people skipping for joy once they realize it’s green and livable out there. Idk. Just some theories.
I don't think the dust is evidence of anything. I don't think the size of the door affects whether a master engineer is needed though. I'm of the strong opinion that the pager/FOB is activated by anyone accessing into the drive. Skipping would be an interesting choice.
The 1 thing I don't understand is how Bernard & sims don't know about the tunnel? If Bernard knew about the no 18 hdd which is basically a blueprint of their silo shouldn't he already know & check that place? Now that's the only place I can think of where Juliette will be safe. I've heard the 2nd book shift is the best book in the series so 2nd season's gonna be insane. Hope same is the case with foundation s2 because 1st season was pretty mediocre for the level of issac's novels. Those books are epic af too. Also what does wool have to do with all this considering the first book is literally called wool. I think that both the fake outside videos & the video inside the suit are both fake & reality is that wool can be used a filter for the poisonous world outside.
My theory for the season premier is that Juliette will be sent out to clean, but dosent clean and instead wanders off leaving us in a cliffhanger for season 2!
Silo IT department isn't very good if they can't detect a relic hard drive being accessed through their system but have to search for it when the mayor asks them. That outdated drive should have automatically set off all kinds of warnings the moment it was plugged in if they were competent.
What about an old drive would throw up red flags and alerts unless there previously were checks in place based upon age? As far as they're anticipating all drives are the same. After all they just expected the drive number to be nine digits and therein lies a big clue.
@@SpaceCaseZ06 So if it didn't have nine digits it would be undetectable? Surely, an anomaly like the number 18 would be detected. age = relic. These guys are as paranoid as f&$k, any device connected would probably be checked.
@@germantoenglish898 did you delete your response after you realized I was talking about proactively in advance having a check installed in place and active before the drive was installed? Were expecting to check drive identifiers based on nothing more than that anomalously low number? It is a number so unlikely that they wouldn't even be looking for it and that is my point. Otherwise the guy wouldn't have even thought to tell Bernard that it's an invalid number! Even if they knew to expect low numbers which apparently they didn't.... they wouldn't expect to need to even give that a second thought. No additional consideration. On the other hand, if there was a pre-existing established check it would have been a log or a notification whenever any drive with a SysOp authorization restriction was attempted. That would be really annoying due to frequency if it was a high-level notification and so it would only be logged and require a scan of the logs. Their greatest security protection was and is that SysOp authorization restriction which means it can only be opened supposedly on a tiny few computers.
Most interesting , the SILO leader is a Orwellian Stalinist , Paul`s revalation is supberbe , the actor is fantastic , my favorite bit of acting so far.
I liked the series at first but episodes 3-9 just dragged and barely uncovered that much except the initial question - seems like they could have some other subplots or something to make more suspenseful (other than the overall question about the outside and the silo)
In Episode 9, we saw Juliette find a video on George's hard drive that revealed the outer world is not as barren as everyone in the silo has been led to believe. This is a major revelation that could have far-reaching consequences. Based on these events, a few possible developments for the next episode could include: Release of the Video: Given the potential impact of the video, it's likely that Juliette will attempt to make this information public to the residents of the silo. This could involve collaborating with the IT person who helped her before. Potential Rebellion: If the video is released and the residents of the silo learn the truth, it could lead to unrest and potentially a rebellion against Bernard and Sims, who have been maintaining the lie about the outside world. Increased Conflict: With the release of the video and the potential unrest, Bernard and Sims will likely increase their efforts to find and stop Juliette. This could lead to more conflict and possibly some confrontations. More about the Hidden Door: George's message to Juliette also mentioned a hidden door underwater in the pit. This could be a crucial plot point in the upcoming episode as Juliette might try to find this door and uncover what's behind it. Paul's Role: Paul, who found a significant page from George's guide, might play a crucial role in future events. He seems to be on a path of self-redemption and might be an unexpected ally for Juliette.
For those who want to spoil the mysteries of the silo; the wikipedia article [Silo (series] under the 2nd book (Shift) explains most of what is going on, including the oppression of information and Judicial's philosophy behind justifiable murder to save the silo - and who they are saving it from - along with the recent reveal on the #18.
It's important to note that there are plenty of places not on episode videos to go if you've read the books and you want to discuss openly including spoilers. Some people assert that people can skip spoilers but that is only possible if they already know where the spoilers are before they read them which is only possible if the readers are all powerful omniscient beings. Even if some people clearly and unambiguously label one comment containing spoilers, responses to those comments are frequently not marked. One or two have suggested that the show is too predictable to be worth worrying about spoilers which is obviously MORE ridiculous/preposterous *_GASLIGHTING_* often accompanied by intimidation tactics. Especially if the people who do this or the people who claim to hate the show spend the time here in these comments writing about it at all.
@@SpaceCaseZ06 Yeah .. OK, wise man. But I did not supply any spoilers, I just gave a location to look them up if a reader was so inclined .. and guess what .. Wikipedia doesn't supply spoiler warnings if you are reading the book plot notes .. So if you don't want spoilers, don't read the article. Did you have the philosophy when Game of Thrones was running?
@@DanDog91correct. it's all good. I'd much rather others did it your way than how many others here have. I'm giving you a high seal of approval on this one.

This is my theory: She escapes the silo by modifying her suit, so she can survive outside until she discovers and enters the other silo 17, and in season 2 (it takes place in silo 17 with a big uprising in silo 18), then she returns with an army of people through the secret tunnel.. to take control of silo 18 because the secret tunnel can only be opened from silo 17. Bernard and Sims don't know anything about the secret tunnel, because maybe that information is only on the missing hard drive.
In one episode when the generator is failing they have a brief power cut. When the power is restored there is a brief moment where we get to see the actual feed from the outside in full colour.
@@linuxlebt Episode 3: Juliette requests that Ruth allow the main generator to be switched off for repairs, which has never been done in living memory. At shutdown, the Silo's screens briefly show a healthy green view of the outside.
@@aikidoshi007 yes but but still was after 10pm (don’t remember exactly) and it since it was only a few hours it should have been dark outside but on the screen it the middle of the day
The lush grass, blue sky, puffy clouds and migrating flock are probably a lie too. The clouds are the same in the Jane Carmody cleaning as in Halston Becker's view. @akidoshi it's right that the video flipped to a fake daytime video. It's right that it's showing the wrong time of day but that's assuming the clocks in the silo are even right to begin with and that they correspond to the actual time of day outside. It isn't actually necessary to have the inside silo clock match the real outside time. What doesn't make sense is why the inside screen would ever change to the fake daytime at all unless they were both fake to begin with. They must be built on a common shared base landscape animation model. The healthier version must be closer to the original model and loads first but the delay in rendering the dead landscape modified model caused the healthy one to load up briefly. It would seem to me the healthy one would be more complex and difficult to render but it's done in reverse to ensure more consistency between the two versions
@@linuxlebtyeah but if you live under ground and I told you its 10pm you’ll believe its 10pm. considering you can’t see the sun or the moon so you’d have no bearing on the actual time.
Will we ever get a show that is as interesting exploring the world outside the introductory setting/location as it is exploring the inside? I would love to see a show successfully balancing the tention between the large and small world. Lost failed, Westworld failed etc when the writing failed.
hmmm. perhaps not enough lived experience to tell a story of that kind once it got past a particular scope. maybe the writers needed to spend more time in a marginalized society or forced congregational habitat. a prison. *_OR, an emergency shelter for the unhoused in the midst of a global biological crisis_*
I don't think the suit is causing them to see an altered positive world, while the sensor screen was the reality. Two reasons: 1. What would be to gain? Going out is supposed to be scary and a punishment. Why show the cleaner false images of a beautiful world, if they are going to die off in a toxic wasteland 2 minutes later? 2. The better argument. When they shut down the power for the generator repair, some of the monitors flashed a frame of the beautiful version of the outside. Almost as if the image altering software shut down just before the actual monitor shut down. More likely, I think the suits are killing those who exit. I think the mask is feeding the cleaners poison, that causes them to collapse right after exiting.
It’s the small things. This occurred to me as I recently bought a new SUV and while the big things are important, it’s the small, thoughtful, meaningful minutiae that eventfully led to my purchase. I think the auto manufacturers refer to this a “micro impressions.” Anyway, this episode was particularly meaningful in that; 1) the part of Sims’ wife was nuanced and expertly acted. She, Sims’ wife, wasn’t a cartoon, one-dimensional stereotype but a thoughtful and very self-aware part of “Silo” ecosystem. Big 👍 to all. 2) I nearly burst into tears when Billings burnt (most of) the book he discovered hidden in Nichols’ apartment. How many countless times in human history have lesser beings discovered treasures of immeasurable wealth and destroyed them? Each time Republican garbage here in the US bans or burns a book, I will now think of Billings.
LOL @ criticizing republicans. You just pissed off a bunch of morons who buy into that garbage. This is the moment everything flips for Paul Billings. There are guesses about what Camille, Robert Sims' wife, meant. I watched a podcast where the guys from The Expanse talked to the author of these books and Hugh Howey indicated he was watching responses as he posted parts of his book and he was trying to subvert expectations. I think about many of the people who spend so much time on here telling everyone how much this story sucks. I think they simply have in their heads the idea that if it doesn't turn out exactly as they expected it to then they'll make up excuses to explain why it's a bad book. I gather some of these people have commented and I've blocked them and can't read their responses. Maybe I criticized them and they couldn't handle that I was right and they blocked me.
I think his wife saw the video and perhaps changed her mind. Why would she just let her know that they know where the hard drive is being used and that they're coming instead of just letting her go? There's also something insignificant, but how is it that this hacker didn't know the password for the hard drive (when he initially possessed it) when it's there on the hard drive itself?
This is a creative choice of the staff graphic artists that produced the screen layout but the prompt didn't necessarily make it obvious that it was looking for a password. It appeared to be looking for a system command. depending on the operating system someone might be expecting to type from a number of possibilities: dir catalog ls library
If there are indeed screens fitted into the helmets. Why go to the effort to show a beautiful outside world? We saw the screen inside the cafeteria glitch between the two landscapes so perhaps even these are fake and theres a third possible view.
Haven't read the books but wouldn't be suprised if Sims does not want to rule the Silo but is also looking for the truth and tries to find a way out. He is just taking a different path than Juliette.
Spoilers alert* don't read if you don't want to know the end... Juliet will clean. Her suit will be tampered with so it doesn't fail after 3 minutes like the other suits did. She will climb over the hill and find silo number 17. If the show follows the plot line of the book, She will enter silo 17 and find it's totally empty everyone there had died.
I was really hoping that they didn't kill off characters so quickly. I also don't understand how Sheriff Nelson got to get the harddrive. Also it would've been nic eif they showed him going to medical to hide the harddrive. Except they didn't leave my suspense in this tv series. I would've also liked to have seen Jules build up a revolution before they sent her out ot clean so quickly. She was only Sheriff for 5 serconds. They don't tell us why Walk was afraud to step out of her door for 25 years. It would've been also nice to see Jules looking more into the harddrive and gaining more knowledge of what was on there. Kind of silly that George just committed suicide. Very lame. I also don't understand why they wanted Marnes dead. They don't show who poisoned Marnes water. It would've also been nice if they could show what interacation those two had after she was placed in psych unit and him hiding the hard drive in her room Hildebrandt and Holston. They don't show how Holston figured out there were cameras in the rooms. Writers and Directors please give us m ore of a backstory to your tv series. Other than that, thanks for the new tv series, and look forward to season 2. Peace.
Maybe Holsten and Allison werent allowed to have kids not because of her but because of him and his position? Everyone in this Silo who has a family (=kids) will prioritize their family first at least sometime in the plot. Bernard has no family (that we know of) and knows all about the silo. Hes "most strict" about the pact and hates everyone for prioritizing differently. Also: I guess they will send out Juliette but what about the 15 feet door then? They COULD stage a blackout with her old crew and then maybe use the time to escort Juliette to engineering and to the SBM? Just an idea.
If they denied Holsten a child because he was sheriff, then he'd quit so he could have a baby. Still, why the charades? It seems anybody who is in I.T. would be a threat because they'd all have analytical minds with the tendency to ask questions. Nobody in I.T. would be allowed children and they'd run out of competent people to staff the department. Nobody could ascend to director and or mayor from within I.T. The whole premise of not allowing certain people to have children is very flawed as a component of story world building. The gene pool would be severely limited. 10,000 is generally considered the minimum size for a viable gene pool but they're limiting it further? Unwise.
I have a slightly crazy idea.What if the world outside is really poisonous and the only reason they change the image in the cleaners mask is to make them clean the camera.Because the cleaners seeing that the world outside is they want everyone to see when in reality the people see that its destroyed.Very stretched but i wanted to put it out .
In the clip of the files in the first episode i just noticed a file called "SIL-OSREBOOT" could this mean the servers in it do more than just power allocation? they also are doing the ai image generation for the cleaning masks or many screens in the silo?
even without a clue such as this i would suspect that as a natural extension. any decent detective should consider this a plausible if not likely capability There is a part where It's wrong, though. What everyone keeps saying about the bird migration isn't the same footage. There's another young tree in view by Halston Becker and also the trailing birds are in different positions. While this footage could still be falsified, it isn't the same. That alone cannot be the indictment. Also, the lighting when the camera is facing Allison or Halston Becker is brighter than the view projected on the display in the cafeteria or holding cell 3.
I think the suit visors are the lie but the lens showing outside has been true the whole time as a way to trick people into cleaning it before they die. Perhaps to keep control with a clear view as a constant reminder. Here’s the evidence I noticed of the lens being real: -in episode 2, we only see the blue sky and green land from the visor’s POV. -when the sheriff takes off his helmet, there’s a blurry tree in frame behind him up and right that looks dead. -the sky looks white like the lens shows. -only when takes the helmet off does he go to where his wife is lying. -before he dies he nudges her hand and her arm moves. Pretty accurate to go right there if he isn’t seeing her body. -what’s the point of a tunnel in the story when it’d be much easier just to say “I want to go out”. -and season 2 would be weird if it didn’t still take place in 1 or more silos.
This series was great. I don't think it can be dragged out into season 2. I think basically as we know about mr sims and the grey haired guy from shawshank, well think they are the top dogs. Only why would they live in the silo themselves. Sims has wife and kid there. They watch cameras and shawshank guy said this could be the end of them. Do they still think outside is poisoned air themselves. Im curious. Personally I think the suit pumps poison into them. Don't wear the suit.
If Bernard Holland gets into a mood he may in fact do that but I suspect Robert Sims has not met the threshold of disappointment, anger, and scapegoating yet.
So they are telling people that outside is dusty and a wasteland.and at the same time showing people who got out a prerecorded footage of a normal world?why?just to make them clean the camera?
Mind-boggling to consider, but could that line drawn from the door to the tunnel in the blueprint be some sort of conduit? The size of that entrance is seriously imposing, double the tunnel's height. You'd need a top-tier engineer to even consider cracking that beast open, though I'm at a loss of who that could be in our cast. As for the water situation, it struck me as odd, too. But, maybe it's not deep water we're dealing with, just some surface level stuff that's troublesome for our silo-dwellers. After all, who wouldn't fear what they've never known? Water bodies must be a foreign concept for them. Yet, Juliette's harrowing near-drowning incident at the generator might have already helped her triumph over her aquaphobia. Oh, and the silo numbering! Has anyone else noticed how it says Silo 01 on the display, not 18? That's thrown me for a loop, definitely. Bernard's gadget! It seemed to me more like a paging device rather than something futuristic. Someone up the chain is probably demanding an update from him, quite the retro twist! Then there's the video from episode one with the green, lush outdoors. I initially thought it was pre-recorded footage just playing on the helmet's screen. But considering it might be a real-time capture inside someone's helmet is truly intriguing. Who was that person exploring the wilderness, and how did they transfer that footage to the hard drive? Could it be wirelessly transmitted? Finally, the exterior condition of the silo has been an ongoing debate. But twice now, the opening of the hatch has given us a glimpse into a dusty, barren world, quite like a post-apocalyptic scene. Coupled with the Sheriff's action of wiping the dirty lens, the evidence is mounting that their world is anything but hospitable. I mean, just look at how grimy that camera platform was! Clear signs that they're living in a harsh, wasteland environment. Thoughts, anyone?
The drive sheriff Juliette Nichols possesses and the fob mayor Bernard Holland has both have the number 18. The fob flashing and vibrating was probably indicating that the drive was being accessed.

Every episode I have had a different theory, overall here’s my thoughts
- suits are pumped with poisonous gas
- the silo is a experimental human bunker made by outsiders or Bernard’s boss
- Camille found the hard drive with Sims first when they were raiders and set out a plan to rule the silo to set everyone free
- if you watch the video of the birds there is a missing bird at the tail causing a gap between the pack also they fly at different speeds therefor it’s just a coincidence
- Allison literally tells us before she’s sent out to clean “They have the ability to change what we see on the screens”
- beyond the hill in the main screen in the cafeteria, I am imagining Juliette stood on top of that hill and we get POV shot of heaps of silo entrances
- the tunnel is a link between other silos, it runs horizontal and not the slightest vertical. They’re at least a few hundred metres under ground
- everyone who has looked at the hard drives contents is either dead or sent to clean, Juliette ain’t dying she’s the main, she is the one getting sent out to clean by Bernard
- the device with the 18 on it either communicates when the hard drive is being used or it’s a red light, green light communication tool from his boss who is watching every move. Red = your screwed if you don’t find Juliette
- (what was taken what we took) could possibly just be referring to, how did we end up here? I believe it’s a phrase by the makers of the silo relating to them taking control after they took freedom
- as more theories come to mind I will right them before the 10th ep
@@MajorBluesZ tell
@@MajorBluesZdon’t you dare 😂
Definitely agree on the suits being pumped with a poison gas, maybe carbon dioxide. I think Holston realized that and tried to get fresh air by taking his helmet off.
@@thehypearoundit’s the screen, not the suits. Like his wife did, even holston decided to clean the sensor just before he starting towards the tree. It’s the sensor which is pumping poison.
No the suits are not pumped with poisonous gas, the Gas or Dust are Nanobots that are released to the corridor leading to the outside when people go out to clean, as the suits are not tight the bots are inhaled and start to do their work.The books explain this and more in detail!! Sorry for the spoilers
Silo is a masterpiece so far!
first edit : OMG so many replies! i didn't expect this. FYI i haven't followed the novel series, so im realy a new member to this franchise, will try to read the books after S01. I know this series is very slow paced but i like it so far. The cinematography is very good setting a dark and mystery vibe. As the season progressed it felt very tensed and claustrophobic because of the loneliness of the protagonist in her pursuit of the truth. Hope they give us a proper finale cause im already waiting for the season 2!. Cheers all
The first book is also really good. Tough I have to say, I like the show better so far. It adresses a good bit of the gripes I had reading the book and it expands on a series of key characters I felt had weak development in the book.
Possible spoiler below.
Tough I feel conflicted knowing the first season is only about half of the story in the first book. On the one hand I like the deeper development of the story, but on the other I have to wait one or two years for the second half when some major shit goes down.
The door is a way to the other silo or silos i think.
@@MadTAII spoiler, yo
It's far from a masterpiece, because a majority of its episodes so far have simply presented mysteries but practically no answers. The first two episodes and this latest one are good, because the first two are intriguing and the most recent one is suspenseful; however, the episodes in between them have been predominantly uneventful and slow paced, ramping up in only their final minutes in order to present a cliffhanger that was designed to get the audience to return for the subsequent episode.
The show doesn't have enough meaningful storytelling; a majority of it is empty.
@@constantinsavu5301 What spoiler i didn't read the books, but if it is true it is obvious in case that it was writen Silo 01 on the screen.
This show is amazing! Silo, Severance, Apple TV+ is killing it!
You literally just listed my two favorite shows on the platform! Apple TV+ has to be the best deal in streaming services right now.
I'd also add For All Mankind to that list. While it had somewhat dipped in quality in the last season , it's still some really good alternative history about the space race period (that gets extended well into the 90's for reasons explained in the show).
Yeah, last show that had me this intrigued was Severance! Raised By Wolves was also a bit of a hidden gem.
Yessssss
@@brucemacdonald5532 *_Raised By Wolves_* showed a lot of promises but ended up flailing about in every direction and just being weird and often unsatisfying.
*_Severance_* has been more of a slow burn but consistent. Such a cliff hanger,..I want to see season two
I noticed the birds too. I first thought that the helmet pumps some kind of poisonous gas into it that kills them to make sure they die when they go out, but I don’t know. I wish Holston took his off the minute he got out there. I also don’t understand why Sims would freely talk like that in his house, when he knows they can see/hear him.
One more thing, Holston couldn’t see his wife until he took off his helmet, so it’s definitely a screen in there. I also think that there’s more silos .
My guess is that the green grass n blue sky are fake. It’s there to “push” the cleaners to wipe the sensor because they want to share what they saw with the people inside. I had a similar thought too about the suit pumping poisonous gas into the helmet. Why else would Holston fight to take it off. As for Sims, he should know better to not speak like that anywhere especially his apartment. Bernard is definitely listening and spying on Sims. Who know 🤷♀️ maybe, because of this, Sims and/or his wife will become Juliet’s ally.
I think what kills them is something in the air itself
The reason people are dying is something to do with the tape they wrap around the gloves, there's apparently two types of tape, the bad and good stuff
They probably purposely use the bad stuff knowing people will die within minutes.
The tape has been mentioned numerous times in multiple episodes to be a coincidence and the fact Juliette "stole" some, I suspect she'll put on a suit, put the good stuff on and survive.
@@YesHelloNoBye Please don't spoil it for the TV show watchers.
Juliet destroyed the cameras and other bugs in Sim’s apartment so his conversation with his wife wasn’t recorded.
I doubt his wife was actually there. My guess is that he was going in that direction to go over the hill, just like his wife, but on screen it makes it look like he's going to her. Remember that we actually never saw the outside from his perspective after he took off the helmet, we saw it from inside the silo on the screen.
By analyzing the Silo’s blueprint/cross section, my personal theory on the water ‘not being a worry”… is that the tunnel is located just above/near the waterline and the water is only a knee or waist deep.
Greatly appreciate your theory vids, fun stuff for sure. Cheers
I honestly think Camille just means their only goal is to protect their son, nothing nefarious. I think the show is humanizing Sims to prepare him to switch sides in the chance his wife get's sent out to clean. Otherwise I don't think the scenes with his son have any other purpose.
Watch her reaction when Sims mentions doubts about him being shadow. She wants the power
Thats precisely what i took that as
@@dgwalters1 It is more an expression of disappointment over additional setback which I observe most commenters have been interpreting as a gradual deliberate campaign for ultimately relatively benign motives. not a quest for power in and of itself.
When their son comes to seek comfort from his father and tells him that he wants Juliette Nichols dealt with and never wants to see her again, I think the look Robert Sims gave Camille indicates a recognition that their sacrifice in hiding their ultimate cause from everyone including their son has the consequence of that son falling into the trap of fear which the Silo's draconian rules and enforcement tends to engender and encourage.
It’s to humanize Sims, I agree but I don’t think Sims would ever let Bernard send his wife to clean. I feel like Sims has more influence than Bernard in 18.
Excellent analysis. And great catch on the birds. I didn't notice that. I went back to EP2 and watched the 1st Sheriff go out. You can't see much in the close-up scenes when he removes his helmet but there does appear to be a lot of light around him. And you can make out something like a tree in the background. So maybe there is an AR-like view generated in the helmet screen, but unfortunately we do not see what the outside looks like when he removes his helmet. That's the key piece of info we need. Also, there has got to be some kind of poisonous gas pumped into the helmet to make the cleaners die so fast. What would be interesting is if a cleaner volunteered to go out without a suit or a helmet. Then the question would be, would the mayor even allow this to happen since they control what the cleaner sees via the helmet and probably also do the poison. Or it could be in the pact somewhere that you have to wear the suit when you clean. Anyway, great video. Very thought provoking. My prediction is that Jules will not be cleaning in EP10. She's the main character. So maybe Camille or one of the guys who helped her. If it turns out to be Camille, Sims is going to go off the rails.
Friendly suggestion/ask:
I thought there was a lot of good comments but found it hard to read without breaks. Line breaks. Paragraph breaks.
Or if you prefer, if it makes more sense to you, separate comments
@@SpaceCaseZ06 yes line breaks enhance readability.
I wonder what does Barnard know about the outside world? When he was questioning Lukas about what he thinks what the “lights” are, it was like if he were asking a 5 year old child. He clearly knows what they are, what if they are not even stars, as the question seems to be posses to us as well? The stars seems to play an important role in the plot because otherwise why even create that plot line, but I can’t think of where they are going with it?
I read the summary of all three books and I won't spoil it. Just know it's crazy! And it's worth the wait to see. Not sure if they are going to change anything either. Bernard is scared and for a rightful reason but I won't say why. I can see the show changing the reason.
@@simply_the_dev7588 they already changed with adding other characters, but yeah the main plot is still the same for the most part.
Maybe the stars are digitally generated?? Further proof that the screen in the cafeteria is false
Lucas’ pictures show a few constellations that he believes to be rotating around a central point just above their view throughout the night/year. The one constellation that both he and Julliet mentioned looks like a “W”, that is Cassiopia.
The stars could be a possible link to helping them in the future.
I've read the books and I can't wait to see how they end season one! I have a theory, but after episode 9 I'm not sure if I'm correct. Hugh said S1 covers about half of the first book. I'm excited for all of you who are new to the Silo saga :)
What is your sugestion to read the books now or the series are good and to whatch them ?
yes man please share,
@@MadTAII I have read the book, and still love the series.
Well it needs to get alot better.
@@MadTAII my guess is there will be plenty of time between S1 and 2 to be able to read all the books. If you enjoy reading and want to know the rest of the story, I highly recommend them. If you're fine just watching the show, then that's up to you.
There are differences between the book and show. One big omission has me second guessing how I thought SO would end. It has to do with the heat tape Juliette "stole". She discovered something about it in the book, it it hasn't been mentioned in the show.
My guess now is she will escape the silo through the big door George found. That just a guess, because that not how it went in the book.
Why did George leave Juliet such a vague comment about the door? Very odd.
The door is a secret passage under the silo that takes you into the free world. Basically a backdoor.
Yes agreed- that’s unrealistic.
It’s the writers ‘mystery box’ style of storytelling ..with the few amount of reveals each episode this show is bordering on the edge of storyline boredom and engagement..stringing us along. Sure hope there’s payoff in season finale.
@@Val_Halla777 Thank you for saying that. You and I are the few fans that open our eyes to see this show is (pardon the pun) filled with fillers. Anyone calling this a masterpiece must be kids who haven't seen what great shows are. Let's get real here. The books were pretty pedestrian to begin with. Translation it was average at best so this is a real opportunity for a show to elevate the books storyline with better backstory that actually makes sense and complex nuanced villains instead of the typical big brother watching over you dystopian oppression cliche we've seen countless times like in Brazil , 1984 and Equilibrium which has cool action fight scenes too. This episode all we see is Jules going from one room to another hooking up a hard drive and see her scrolling thru a file directory clicking start here to show a video of green trees and blue sky that we all predicted back in episode 2 and for George to say I love you. An hour long episode to see a directory scroll just doesn't cut it as great entertainment. Final episode needs to be better. 🤞

Yesss! I’ve been waiting for this!!
I have a theory regarding Bernard's necklace @10:00 - It shows all the 18 silos, each of the circles, interconnected by the `hidden' tunnel and door Julliet is about to find, which is the square bit connecting the circles.
Didn’t realise that that’s a awesome theory
I thought the season was only 8 episode so I literally shouted and did a happy dance when I saw there was a brand new episode 9!!!
Love the show. Nice recap and analysis.
this was good heartfelt episode. to never see a video than have your ex lover say they loved you twice. I enjoyed this episode.
I was so upset when Paul burnt the book.
I agree that it's some kind of video / VR / AR thing, you can also see that the birds are the same in ep 1 when they're reflected in Allison's eye. But I also think that the environment outside is not what they say it is and that Holston and Allison are still alive, or at least one of them is.
The green trees also look oversaturated and plasticky.
While the flock of birds have slightly different line of flight, clouds are exactly the same in all the videos of the green outside…
Im sure they used Jane’s video for the projection they see when they get out that’s why it’s the same
How comes when they turn the generator off it cuts to the cafeteria and shows the screen showing a perfect green world
@@TheBoy-j6w I think there are about 4 different versions of that environment that pop up on the screen when the power gets cut off and turned back on, some of them also look like the sun is high up in the sky and others look like a sunset / sunrise, I haven't read the books so I don't have any answers, but I don't think we can fully trust the gray or the green.

I was waiting for this
I don't think Danny helped Jules escape since he had no idea she was involved until she was already there. My guess is the door is above the water line if the incline in the blueprint is to be believed. Nice catch with the screens when Sims shows up. I find it interesting how it says "Silo 01 Level 17" so maybe this is the only silo, and the system designers had more optimistic plans?
100% there is more than one Silo and i wouldn't be surprised if they are connected somehow.
@@DannTeBgI think they're all connected through that door that George found.
I wonder who Bernard is talking to when sending someone out to clean, that must be in the next episode but I wonder if it's Paul or Sims? Juliette would be the obvious answer but she'll go down deep to the water whereas Bernard will be staying up top. Silo is the new gold standard of TV for me, so so good
You can see Paul behind Bernard.
Jules will go out to clean and then be the first to return through that door down deep.
@@mskadwa I didn't spot that at first but that's true so definitely not Paul
@@aaronburrell3729 Ohhhh that's a good idea. I'd love to see it happen. Maybe she will find out more from the drive about something they do to the suits when they send people out to clean.
Man this show is so good! Hope the viewing numbers are good so they get the chance to tell the full story!
I don't know how many seasons that might take. I just want to be sure they get enough of a head start so that I don't read too far ahead of the show once I do start reading.
At the moment, I've been considering holding off reading any of the original material until the end of season 2.
Well ratings always drop season over season as fans bail. That's normal. Right now this show is dragging its feet with lots of fillers and that's okay all shows do that. But it needs to get alot better. The source material wasn't that great to begin with so this is a real opportunity to make the show better. This whole gov't big brother watching over you hiding the truth has been done so many times so they need to add more depth to the story to make it better.
@@jonfreeman9682 you're *_probably_* right. Even if you're not _"absolutely"_ right and it's not *_always_* the case but it *_is practically_* always the case that ratings decline consistently over the premier release lifetime.
In a conversation with the *_Silo_* novel series author, Hugh Howey, during their *_Ty and That Guy_* podcast, the episode released June 14 2023 on UA-cam, Ty Franck and Wes Chatham from *_The Expanse_* got Hugh to share that he found the TV show to be a better version of his story because of the collaboration with so many professional artists behind the scenes in production. Hopefully that becomes evident and leads to a growth in the audience
I will say this: I have been so right about my theory about the whole Silo and what's outside that I've been banned on the show's subreddit and people kept telling me I obviously read the books. So I'll say just this: Juliette's going to clean and she'll be in the next season. The 18 keychain is apparently truly a pager and what got me banned in the subreddit was theorizing it's someone not in Silo 18 and who's running the Silo programme.
Double thumbs up.This episode looks De lic Ous! I have to watch this series now. Thank You for this excellent review!
When jules restarted the core a bunch of episodes ago the screen at the cafeteria showed a different image for a split second far more luxurious and green than the regular wasteland we see!
Wow a bunch of theories/thoughts. Amazing episode, great analysis @thinkstory!
Juilette will need to obtain a new way of getting to the tunnel or one of the antagonist assistance (Sims? After his wife is sent to clean) in order to get there, sans that... she's cleaning. Checkpoints, watchers, Benard are too much to overcome.
The Video (The Helmet, the Lunch room, the Hard Drive) is a system of Control. Like the One (Matrix), it gives those who think they have discovered a Truth, a fake focus on a hope that will only end in their death. It is the inevitable result of the revolutionary mind. As Gloria told Holston's wife, it's all about the "right type of people". Holston's wife (and Holston) became obsessed (unlike Juilette), thus couldn't see the larger threat (Holston KNEW he was being watched, yet focused on the lie)
The question is: Who is the person broadcasting the video? It's NOT the folks in the janitorial ops center. The video was put on the hard drive as a library item. It glitched on (in the lunchroom briefly) when the power went off. Meaning it's on the same feed and always on. Also, it's a wireless signal powerful enough to reach outside (seamlessly triggered as you step through the door i.e zero latency).
Sims and family have a long term plan to either rule the Silo and avoid the wraith of whoever Benard is terrified of (Silo Builders?) OR construct their own Revolutionary State in revolt against them (Silo Builders). He wants the same thing Gloria does... He just knows the Silo residents ain't ready (and under Benard's rule never will)... yet.
I think the revolt (140 years ago) was against the Silo Builders. (Like the Architect resetting Zion in the Matrix) 18 becomes 01.
Proof: Sims knew of the Book (He watched Juilette reading it) yet didn't commit any resources to confiscate it. Nor did he tell Benard Juilette had it. The Book is waaaaay more dangerous than the Hard Drive (ask Paulie "F the Pact" boy).
The suit doesn't need a sophisticated poison/air system. Too many secrets to keep. The outside is toxic. An inadequate filtration system is all that is needed to kill in moments. The GOAL is to prevent you from getting to the TOP of that hill! The suit needs to modified by... (an engineer) to allow the proper working air supply. Question is WHO gives Juilette the heads up and the time to make the adjustments (Benard or Sims)?
Finally, I'm way more interested in the abandoned Silo Shaft, it's proximity to the Silo. Why does it contain the TUNNEL and not the Silo itself? Was it supposed to be Silo 02? Why is it airtight yet no one tried to live there (in an apocalyptic event, going to an underground "airtight" water pure place would be hard to miss) No life... is curious. I think it has something to do with the Silo 01 versus 18 mystery.
Can't wait to read the book after the finale!
im in love with Danny character💅
Assuming that someone convinced them all into the silo at one time and the 18 key is to a Nuke to blow up outside where rebellion broke out and the door is an exit... Adult City of Ember...
Couple of my own thoughts:
1) When George said the water is actually nothing to worry about my initial thought was that it's probably actually very shallow. Maybe that would be too easy but something we need to remember is no one knows how to swim because they've been in the silo for 140+ years.
2) Adding to what others have said about the outside world we see in Jane Carmody and Coulsten's cleanings (I'll call this reality B), this must also be fake because when mechanical shuts down the geberator and reality B flashes on the screen in the cafeteria briefly, it was 10pm so it doesn't make sense for the image we see to look like it's the middle of the day. Maybe I'm missing something there though so feel free to correct me.
Also please no book spoilers in the cimments as myself and many others have not read them.
The fact that there is a season 2 means there are other silos out there. The mysterious door and tunnel in the schematics is the conduit between the 2 silos. The question now is what is different about the other silo? Why have multiple silos at all? The answer is each silo has a special purpose meant for a different class of people akin to Snowpiercer. I have not read the book, but thematically, this is the best path forward to season 2.
@@DanDog91orld Order Organisation 50? L is the number 50 so I guess the WOO are acronyms? W is definitely World and one of the Os is either organisation or Order or both. Kind of like New World Order I guess. The number 50 does not make sense though. Only if they tried to create 50 different ruling methods and see which one is the more efficient?
@@DanDog91 oh that must such, I would have loved if they were Silo 50 and make their way up to level 1 but I guess all other silos below 18 must be failures.
0:37 This was really smart of Juliette and I applaud her for taking advantage of this.
Where do we think this tunnel leads? An adjacent Silo, another way up and out..?
Also, the door being 15 ft high has to hold some significance. It’s very well hidden, so it’s not for show. What function does it or did it serve?
Great show
You Do this absolutem BRILLIANT!! and ot is a Plus that you dont know the books.your Reviews would be affected as would your theories.Thanks sooo much
The tension is ramping up!
Theory: The big door under the water leads to more old harddrives from before the rebellion that reveals the Silo and the peoples history from before the Silo itself.
Alternative theory: The big door under the water leads to another Silo far away.
Alternative theory #2:
The big door leads to a giant warehouse of more liquor, more cameras, more one-way glass, more very old hard drives, more very old keyboards, more computer processing and RAM memory chips, more network wifi routers, fancy 6K resolution displays for the janitor/surveillance closet, more glowing FOBs, 10,000 advanced environmental exploration suits in sizes from infant to XXXL, more watches, more Pez dispensers, and more Georgia travel guides. Also, microscopes, x ray and mri machines, and cryo freezers with rabbit embryos in vials
Alternative theory #3:
The plutonium warheads and ICBM launch systems originally planned for the silo.
Clearly the occurence of the same birds flying proves that the suit also has a recording but then i wonder why?
It's wrong. What everyone keeps saying about the bird migration isn't the same footage. There's another young tree in view by Halston Becker and also the trailing birds are in different positions.
While this footage could still be falsified, it isn't the same. That alone cannot be the indictment. Also, the lighting when the camera is facing Allison or Halston Becker is brighter than the view projected on the display in the cafeteria or holding cell 3.
One thing that stands out to me, 144 years the silo has existed and there is 144 levels. Either they like coincidentally playing on numbers or it means something 🤔
The silo is much older. The rebellion is 140 years old and the files on the hard drive are dated “silo year 97” (02:10), so the silo is at least 237 years old.
Thank you for your reviews of this show! So I don't understand where you see the next episode trailers. They are not at the end of the eps and I'd like to know where/how you can see them? Can you help? Thanks for the great analysis!
My guess is that there are other silos and this is all just an experiment like every other movie we watched. Maybe it was an experiment that went wrong. Like in Fallout games they are supposed to leave but what if the people in power decided they rather have power then leave and as time passes it became something else. The only problem is why wouldn't they want to leave other than losing their power? It looks nice outside. Also all the people seem to die around the same spot outside. Maybe there is a perimeter gas or something.
the poison gas has to be in the tanks on their backs fed into the helmet. the whole suit is pretty expensive to be only used once.
I had a thought just now that the suits were all faulty and they couldn't reliably determine whether it was actually safe outside. So, rather than tell people that they will never have a way to plan a way out, keep hiding it from them that the suits don't work until they run out of them and people go out anyway regardless the consequences
I'm just recently caught up on the show and I'm so confused re: the videos / screens. The Jane file is from 140 years ago and it's basically the same as the vid that Alison and Holston saw 140 yrs later. Why would they think that is reality currently? Also, we know the people in Silo is seeing the cleaners dying - so that seems more likely to be the reality. That suit definitely is pumped with poison, we saw them spray Alison's suit. Reality is probably somewhere in the middle? environment is not as deadly but certainly not green and blue like Jane's video. Cleaners are dying because of the poison gas
Commenting as I'm watching your video so there might be more comments but I kind of thought the water was like a hologram or something. Or maybe a projection. To where she would just fall and just land on the ground.
Guys who else hates that they give us 1 episode per friday anyways thank God apple has the crowded room cause I don’t know what i would have done when silo was over
Hate? Learn patience please. It'll do your self a favor and everyone.😂
Shows like this are only enjoyable if you're force to stop and think about them and use your brain. It's the most exercise that gets for the majority of this culture so it's uncomfortable for them.
This promotes discussion on social media. That engagement helps attract more viewers.
Alternatively, without the breaks in the storytelling, everyone would be done with the series and be less inclined to discuss and less likely to attract the audience needed to attract advertising and fund production of the show.
Imagine a book club where everyone was told to read only up through to a specific number of acts/chapters but each was given a different number. Would someone have questions about the ones prior?
Maybe better, if stage theater goers were pulled from the theater after the finished watching different acts. The show never performed a second time. Fifty percent see three acts. Forty only see three two first acts ten percent see only one act. Would the largest group have theories of what will happen in the second act? Would they spoil the mystery for the people in the smallest group if they were discussing in a mixed space with them?
See these comments about all at once releases too often. People who don't want to wait can simply not start until the entire show has already been released
There's a bunch of silos! And they're all experiments in shelters! And this is actually Fallout!
Just a thought, but do you think that sims might've been the guy that asked billings to be his friend (espeically given the story with sims' father sorting it out after some bullying incident)? Would be majorly significant in how/why sims is playing a long con
I hate that Paul burned the Georgia book. 😢
Just about damn time
When Holston takes off his helment, you'll see there's a lot of artifical light around him... I'm assuming they are in some room and what's projected on the screen is all filtered/fake.
Interesting. Like maybe they aren’t even outside at all.
Exactly my thoughts
I noticed a lot of light but not that it was artificial.
It seems to me that if the screen in the cafeteria and the holding cell 3 are artificial, they're spending a lot of computation power to render these decaying bodies. They could cut down on much of that if they allowed cleaners to get to the top of the ridge before collapsing.
I’m wondering if the true escape is from the tunnel, not from the stairs
i had a theory that they gas the suit with chemical thus killing them, making the others in the Silo believe that going outside will kill you and i think im right.
@@XxAziCodxX1 but the video of all is the same what they see outside - didn't you saw the birds they are in same configuration and the sheriiff took his helmet off and still was not able to breath?
I think it’s a link between other Silos, the tunnel is so deep under the silo itself therefor would need to be so much more steeper than pictured in the video. It’s runs horizontal and not the slightest vertical? Who knows
@@MadTAII Thats true, so which monitor is real because its obvious they are manipulating the monitors.
@@MadTAII if you look close enough you’ll notice it’s a similar configuration, but the first encounter they were fast and a tight group, the second encounter the group was split and missing the 1st of the 3 birds at the tail of the group.
4:03 Did anyone else notice what looks like a pipe coming out of the tunnel door on the blueprint?
The door looks to be twice the height of the tunnel itself.
I suspect the opening of this massive door will require the skills of a master engineer....can't imagine who that could be! :P
I think when he says the water isn't a problem is because it's shallow, not deep and he probably means everyone in the silo has a fear of open bodies of water, having never experienced one before.
Juliette has probably conquered her fear of water after the generator/drowning scene.
I'd always assumed that 18 was the silo number, but it's curious the display says Silo 01
I think, as you said, the device Bernard has is a pager, he's being paged by someone higher up than him to get in contact for an update.
I always thought the video we saw briefly in the first episode of the lush outside, was a prerecorded video that displays on the helmet, not an actual recording from inside a helmet, that's interesting.
So who was that person who went outside? and how did they get the video recording on to the hard drive? Wireless?
I think it's clear though that the outside IS a barren wasteland, as the physical evidence we see ourselves is when the hatch door opens, all that post apocalyptic/wasteland dust falls into the stairwell, on both occasions.
The only other proof is when the sheriff dusts the lens, we see it from our perspective and it's clearly filthy, as is the plinth the camera is attached to.
Great insight! Your comment about the helmet being a pre recording makes me wonder then, how did Holston know exactly where his wife was laying if it was recording? I rewatched that part and her body doesn’t show up in his helmet 🤔 it’s not until he takes his helmet off that he starts to crawl towards her.
After I watched that episode initially, I wondered if there is some kind of poison they release in the helmet once they go out to clean. I’m assuming that judicial or whoever it is, doesn’t want people skipping for joy once they realize it’s green and livable out there. Idk. Just some theories.
I don't think the dust is evidence of anything.
I don't think the size of the door affects whether a master engineer is needed though.
I'm of the strong opinion that the pager/FOB is activated by anyone accessing into the drive.
Skipping would be an interesting choice.
Jules will be sent out to clean and then end up finding the tunnel on the outside to get back in through the 15 foot door.
Thats a good theory she could hold her breath so she doesnt get gassed inside the suit, or take the mask off as soon as the door closes who knows
@@XxAziCodxX1 i don’t want to spoil it all, but the suit thing is key.
The 1 thing I don't understand is how Bernard & sims don't know about the tunnel? If Bernard knew about the no 18 hdd which is basically a blueprint of their silo shouldn't he already know & check that place? Now that's the only place I can think of where Juliette will be safe.
I've heard the 2nd book shift is the best book in the series so 2nd season's gonna be insane. Hope same is the case with foundation s2 because 1st season was pretty mediocre for the level of issac's novels. Those books are epic af too.
Also what does wool have to do with all this considering the first book is literally called wool. I think that both the fake outside videos & the video inside the suit are both fake & reality is that wool can be used a filter for the poisonous world outside.
Maybe wool refers to pulling the wool over your eyes ?? Like hiding something from people?
@@sharonlavery7656 wool is opaque.
Hi, where are the trailers found?
My theory for the season premier is that Juliette will be sent out to clean, but dosent clean and instead wanders off leaving us in a cliffhanger for season 2!
May be the green world video is only to make them clean. The door is a way to the other silo or silos .
Silo IT department isn't very good if they can't detect a relic hard drive being accessed through their system but have to search for it when the mayor asks them. That outdated drive should have automatically set off all kinds of warnings the moment it was plugged in if they were competent.
They are purposely incompetent,or they would know everything
@@DGriffy0400 Maybe they are afraid that if they are noticed to be too efficient they may be considered a threat and will have to go outside cleaning.
What about an old drive would throw up red flags and alerts unless there previously were checks in place based upon age? As far as they're anticipating all drives are the same. After all they just expected the drive number to be nine digits and therein lies a big clue.
@@SpaceCaseZ06 So if it didn't have nine digits it would be undetectable? Surely, an anomaly like the number 18 would be detected. age = relic. These guys are as paranoid as f&$k, any device connected would probably be checked.
@@germantoenglish898 did you delete your response after you realized I was talking about proactively in advance having a check installed in place and active before the drive was installed?
Were expecting to check drive identifiers based on nothing more than that anomalously low number? It is a number so unlikely that they wouldn't even be looking for it and that is my point. Otherwise the guy wouldn't have even thought to tell Bernard that it's an invalid number! Even if they knew to expect low numbers which apparently they didn't.... they wouldn't expect to need to even give that a second thought. No additional consideration.
On the other hand, if there was a pre-existing established check it would have been a log or a notification whenever any drive with a SysOp authorization restriction was attempted. That would be really annoying due to frequency if it was a high-level notification and so it would only be logged and require a scan of the logs. Their greatest security protection was and is that SysOp authorization restriction which means it can only be opened supposedly on a tiny few computers.
No one has clocked on to the fact that the visors look like apple visions visor
Regina George lol 3:20
Most interesting , the SILO leader is a Orwellian Stalinist , Paul`s revalation is supberbe , the actor is fantastic , my favorite bit of acting so far.
I liked the series at first but episodes 3-9 just dragged and barely uncovered that much except the initial question - seems like they could have some other subplots or something to make more suspenseful (other than the overall question about the outside and the silo)
In Episode 9, we saw Juliette find a video on George's hard drive that revealed the outer world is not as barren as everyone in the silo has been led to believe. This is a major revelation that could have far-reaching consequences. Based on these events, a few possible developments for the next episode could include:
Release of the Video: Given the potential impact of the video, it's likely that Juliette will attempt to make this information public to the residents of the silo. This could involve collaborating with the IT person who helped her before.
Potential Rebellion: If the video is released and the residents of the silo learn the truth, it could lead to unrest and potentially a rebellion against Bernard and Sims, who have been maintaining the lie about the outside world.
Increased Conflict: With the release of the video and the potential unrest, Bernard and Sims will likely increase their efforts to find and stop Juliette. This could lead to more conflict and possibly some confrontations.
More about the Hidden Door: George's message to Juliette also mentioned a hidden door underwater in the pit. This could be a crucial plot point in the upcoming episode as Juliette might try to find this door and uncover what's behind it.
Paul's Role: Paul, who found a significant page from George's guide, might play a crucial role in future events. He seems to be on a path of self-redemption and might be an unexpected ally for Juliette.
For those who want to spoil the mysteries of the silo; the wikipedia article [Silo (series] under the 2nd book (Shift) explains most of what is going on, including the oppression of information and Judicial's philosophy behind justifiable murder to save the silo - and who they are saving it from - along with the recent reveal on the #18.
It's important to note that there are plenty of places not on episode videos to go if you've read the books and you want to discuss openly including spoilers.
Some people assert that people can skip spoilers but that is only possible if they already know where the spoilers are before they read them which is only possible if the readers are all powerful omniscient beings.
Even if some people clearly and unambiguously label one comment containing spoilers, responses to those comments are frequently not marked.
One or two have suggested that the show is too predictable to be worth worrying about spoilers which is obviously MORE ridiculous/preposterous *_GASLIGHTING_* often accompanied by intimidation tactics. Especially if the people who do this or the people who claim to hate the show spend the time here in these comments writing about it at all.
@@SpaceCaseZ06 Yeah .. OK, wise man. But I did not supply any spoilers, I just gave a location to look them up if a reader was so inclined .. and guess what .. Wikipedia doesn't supply spoiler warnings if you are reading the book plot notes .. So if you don't want spoilers, don't read the article. Did you have the philosophy when Game of Thrones was running?
@@DanDog91correct. it's all good.
I'd much rather others did it your way than how many others here have.
I'm giving you a high seal of approval on this one. Not that it's worth the paper it is virtually printed on but I want you to know.
I'm sorry that I came across coarsely or critical of you.
And thank you for your consideration and effort
Decided to spoil myself and damn ... this show is written badly and is everywhere.
This is my theory: She escapes the silo by modifying her suit, so she can survive outside until she discovers and enters the other silo 17, and in season 2 (it takes place in silo 17 with a big uprising in silo 18), then she returns with an army of people through the secret tunnel.. to take control of silo 18 because the secret tunnel can only be opened from silo 17. Bernard and Sims don't know anything about the secret tunnel, because maybe that information is only on the missing hard drive.
In one episode when the generator is failing they have a brief power cut. When the power is restored there is a brief moment where we get to see the actual feed from the outside in full colour.
I dont think so. They shut it down in the evening so if it were a live feed it should have been dark too.
@@linuxlebt Episode 3: Juliette requests that Ruth allow the main generator to be switched off for repairs, which has never been done in living memory. At shutdown, the Silo's screens briefly show a healthy green view of the outside.
@@aikidoshi007 yes but but still was after 10pm (don’t remember exactly) and it since it was only a few hours it should have been dark outside but on the screen it the middle of the day
The lush grass, blue sky, puffy clouds and migrating flock are probably a lie too. The clouds are the same in the Jane Carmody cleaning as in Halston Becker's view.
@akidoshi it's right that the video flipped to a fake daytime video. It's right that it's showing the wrong time of day but that's assuming the clocks in the silo are even right to begin with and that they correspond to the actual time of day outside. It isn't actually necessary to have the inside silo clock match the real outside time.
What doesn't make sense is why the inside screen would ever change to the fake daytime at all unless they were both fake to begin with. They must be built on a common shared base landscape animation model. The healthier version must be closer to the original model and loads first but the delay in rendering the dead landscape modified model caused the healthy one to load up briefly.
It would seem to me the healthy one would be more complex and difficult to render but it's done in reverse to ensure more consistency between the two versions
@@linuxlebtyeah but if you live under ground and I told you its 10pm you’ll believe its 10pm. considering you can’t see the sun or the moon so you’d have no bearing on the actual time.
18 is the serial number of the hardrive thats how the mayor and sims is able to track where juliet was when she first opened it
Def more than one silo reckon tunnel leads to silo no 2
3:22 Regina George's ex?! Stop trying to make fetch happen!
😂😂😂
I didnt notice the birds that changes things 😅😮
Will we ever get a show that is as interesting exploring the world outside the introductory setting/location as it is exploring the inside?
I would love to see a show successfully balancing the tention between the large and small world.
Lost failed, Westworld failed etc when the writing failed.
hmmm. perhaps not enough lived experience to tell a story of that kind once it got past a particular scope.
maybe the writers needed to spend more time in a marginalized society or forced congregational habitat. a prison. *_OR, an emergency shelter for the unhoused in the midst of a global biological crisis_*
I don't think the suit is causing them to see an altered positive world, while the sensor screen was the reality. Two reasons:
1. What would be to gain? Going out is supposed to be scary and a punishment. Why show the cleaner false images of a beautiful world, if they are going to die off in a toxic wasteland 2 minutes later?
2. The better argument. When they shut down the power for the generator repair, some of the monitors flashed a frame of the beautiful version of the outside. Almost as if the image altering software shut down just before the actual monitor shut down.
More likely, I think the suits are killing those who exit. I think the mask is feeding the cleaners poison, that causes them to collapse right after exiting.
Both the screens in the silo and the suits are illusions. There is a true dystopia we’re waiting to discover.
It’s the small things. This occurred to me as I recently bought a new SUV and while the big things are important, it’s the small, thoughtful, meaningful minutiae that eventfully led to my purchase. I think the auto manufacturers refer to this a “micro impressions.” Anyway, this episode was particularly meaningful in that; 1) the part of Sims’ wife was nuanced and expertly acted. She, Sims’ wife, wasn’t a cartoon, one-dimensional stereotype but a thoughtful and very self-aware part of “Silo” ecosystem. Big 👍 to all. 2) I nearly burst into tears when Billings burnt (most of) the book he discovered hidden in Nichols’ apartment. How many countless times in human history have lesser beings discovered treasures of immeasurable wealth and destroyed them? Each time Republican garbage here in the US bans or burns a book, I will now think of Billings.
You think republicans are the ones banning books? Iiiiiiinteresting
LOL @ criticizing republicans. You just pissed off a bunch of morons who buy into that garbage. This is the moment everything flips for Paul Billings.
There are guesses about what Camille, Robert Sims' wife, meant. I watched a podcast where the guys from The Expanse talked to the author of these books and Hugh Howey indicated he was watching responses as he posted parts of his book and he was trying to subvert expectations.
I think about many of the people who spend so much time on here telling everyone how much this story sucks. I think they simply have in their heads the idea that if it doesn't turn out exactly as they expected it to then they'll make up excuses to explain why it's a bad book.
I gather some of these people have commented and I've blocked them and can't read their responses. Maybe I criticized them and they couldn't handle that I was right and they blocked me.
I think his wife saw the video and perhaps changed her mind. Why would she just let her know that they know where the hard drive is being used and that they're coming instead of just letting her go?
There's also something insignificant, but how is it that this hacker didn't know the password for the hard drive (when he initially possessed it) when it's there on the hard drive itself?
He didn't have a magnifying glass
This is a creative choice of the staff graphic artists that produced the screen layout but the prompt didn't necessarily make it obvious that it was looking for a password.
It appeared to be looking for a system command. depending on the operating system someone might be expecting to type from a number of possibilities:
dir
catalog
ls
library
If there are indeed screens fitted into the helmets. Why go to the effort to show a beautiful outside world? We saw the screen inside the cafeteria glitch between the two landscapes so perhaps even these are fake and theres a third possible view.
I’m beginning to think that they’re not even on the planet earth
lol
You should cover the new apple plus series Hijack
Anyone noticed how the images from outside are all igual? From the file and from when the sheriff went out to clean... 🤔
Haven't read the books but wouldn't be suprised if Sims does not want to rule the Silo but is also looking for the truth and tries to find a way out.
He is just taking a different path than Juliette.
All Sims is doing he doing it for his son may be seek better live for him...
Sims does not exist in the book. He is one of the several characters that the show made up.
You went into x games mode with this video!
Spoilers alert* don't read if you don't want to know the end...
Juliet will clean. Her suit will be tampered with so it doesn't fail after 3 minutes like the other suits did. She will climb over the hill and find silo number 17.
If the show follows the plot line of the book,
She will enter silo 17 and find it's totally empty everyone there had died.
Does anyone know what The Syndrome is?
I was really hoping that they didn't kill off characters so quickly. I also don't understand how Sheriff Nelson got to get the harddrive. Also it would've been nic eif they showed him going to medical to hide the harddrive. Except they didn't leave my suspense in this tv series. I would've also liked to have seen Jules build up a revolution before they sent her out ot clean so quickly. She was only Sheriff for 5 serconds. They don't tell us why Walk was afraud to step out of her door for 25 years. It would've been also nice to see Jules looking more into the harddrive and gaining more knowledge of what was on there. Kind of silly that George just committed suicide. Very lame. I also don't understand why they wanted Marnes dead. They don't show who poisoned Marnes water. It would've also been nice if they could show what interacation those two had after she was placed in psych unit and him hiding the hard drive in her room Hildebrandt and Holston. They don't show how Holston figured out there were cameras in the rooms. Writers and Directors please give us m ore of a backstory to your tv series. Other than that, thanks for the new tv series, and look forward to season 2. Peace.
first thing i do after watching silo is coming here for your videos
sameee hehehe
Maybe Holsten and Allison werent allowed to have kids not because of her but because of him and his position? Everyone in this Silo who has a family (=kids) will prioritize their family first at least sometime in the plot. Bernard has no family (that we know of) and knows all about the silo. Hes "most strict" about the pact and hates everyone for prioritizing differently.
Also: I guess they will send out Juliette but what about the 15 feet door then? They COULD stage a blackout with her old crew and then maybe use the time to escort Juliette to engineering and to the SBM? Just an idea.
If they denied Holsten a child because he was sheriff, then he'd quit so he could have a baby. Still, why the charades?
It seems anybody who is in I.T. would be a threat because they'd all have analytical minds with the tendency to ask questions. Nobody in I.T. would be allowed children and they'd run out of competent people to staff the department. Nobody could ascend to director and or mayor from within I.T.
The whole premise of not allowing certain people to have children is very flawed as a component of story world building. The gene pool would be severely limited. 10,000 is generally considered the minimum size for a viable gene pool but they're limiting it further? Unwise.
Idk, hard to tell if sims would 💀Bernard or actually let his wife go out to clean. Or maybe he betrays her to get back in good graces with Bernard
Isn't Alisson Becker the name of the Liverpool FC goalkeeper? Coincidence?
I have a slightly crazy idea.What if the world outside is really poisonous and the only reason they change the image in the cleaners mask is to make them clean the camera.Because the cleaners seeing that the world outside is they want everyone to see when in reality the people see that its destroyed.Very stretched but i wanted to put it out .
noted. you have evidence for later in case this turns out to be correct and you get to say, "i told you so!"
Hmm don’t know because when they turn off the generator it shows the cafeteria screen showing a green world for a split second
@@SpaceCaseZ06 hahahaha exactly !
@@TheBoy-j6w that's true , when I saw that I was like WAIIIIIIT.
@@SpaceCaseZ06spoiler warning if you haven't seen the finale
I TOLD YOU SOOO LETS GOOOO
why they flip out when they see a video but they see a screen at the cafeteria and understand what they clean is a camera when they go outside?
In the clip of the files in the first episode i just noticed a file called "SIL-OSREBOOT" could this mean the servers in it do more than just power allocation? they also are doing the ai image generation for the cleaning masks or many screens in the silo?
even without a clue such as this i would suspect that as a natural extension. any decent detective should consider this a plausible if not likely capability
There is a part where It's wrong, though. What everyone keeps saying about the bird migration isn't the same footage. There's another young tree in view by Halston Becker and also the trailing birds are in different positions.
While this footage could still be falsified, it isn't the same. That alone cannot be the indictment. Also, the lighting when the camera is facing Allison or Halston Becker is brighter than the view projected on the display in the cafeteria or holding cell 3.
I think the suit visors are the lie but the lens showing outside has been true the whole time as a way to trick people into cleaning it before they die. Perhaps to keep control with a clear view as a constant reminder. Here’s the evidence I noticed of the lens being real:
-in episode 2, we only see the blue sky and green land from the visor’s POV.
-when the sheriff takes off his helmet, there’s a blurry tree in frame behind him up and right that looks dead.
-the sky looks white like the lens shows.
-only when takes the helmet off does he go to where his wife is lying.
-before he dies he nudges her hand and her arm moves. Pretty accurate to go right there if he isn’t seeing her body.
-what’s the point of a tunnel in the story when it’d be much easier just to say “I want to go out”.
-and season 2 would be weird if it didn’t still take place in 1 or more silos.
This series was great. I don't think it can be dragged out into season 2. I think basically as we know about mr sims and the grey haired guy from shawshank, well think they are the top dogs. Only why would they live in the silo themselves. Sims has wife and kid there. They watch cameras and shawshank guy said this could be the end of them. Do they still think outside is poisoned air themselves. Im curious. Personally I think the suit pumps poison into them. Don't wear the suit.
Doesnt Bernard not accepting Sims as shadow mean Bernard needs to toss Common over the railing. That would be sweet
If Bernard Holland gets into a mood he may in fact do that but I suspect Robert Sims has not met the threshold of disappointment, anger, and scapegoating yet.
@@SpaceCaseZ06like Bernard could do that to Sims. Do you see how big Sims is? Who the fuck could push him him over the railing?
So they are telling people that outside is dusty and a wasteland.and at the same time showing people who got out a prerecorded footage of a normal world?why?just to make them clean the camera?
So Juliet work in library in silo
Jane work by colomy clean
how did the drive platter not break in the fall?
Apparently it has a 40G shock resistance factor!
Mr Think Story please start doing THE CROWDED ROOM
Mind-boggling to consider, but could that line drawn from the door to the tunnel in the blueprint be some sort of conduit? The size of that entrance is seriously imposing, double the tunnel's height. You'd need a top-tier engineer to even consider cracking that beast open, though I'm at a loss of who that could be in our cast.
As for the water situation, it struck me as odd, too. But, maybe it's not deep water we're dealing with, just some surface level stuff that's troublesome for our silo-dwellers. After all, who wouldn't fear what they've never known? Water bodies must be a foreign concept for them. Yet, Juliette's harrowing near-drowning incident at the generator might have already helped her triumph over her aquaphobia.
Oh, and the silo numbering! Has anyone else noticed how it says Silo 01 on the display, not 18? That's thrown me for a loop, definitely.
Bernard's gadget! It seemed to me more like a paging device rather than something futuristic. Someone up the chain is probably demanding an update from him, quite the retro twist!
Then there's the video from episode one with the green, lush outdoors. I initially thought it was pre-recorded footage just playing on the helmet's screen. But considering it might be a real-time capture inside someone's helmet is truly intriguing. Who was that person exploring the wilderness, and how did they transfer that footage to the hard drive? Could it be wirelessly transmitted?
Finally, the exterior condition of the silo has been an ongoing debate. But twice now, the opening of the hatch has given us a glimpse into a dusty, barren world, quite like a post-apocalyptic scene. Coupled with the Sheriff's action of wiping the dirty lens, the evidence is mounting that their world is anything but hospitable.
I mean, just look at how grimy that camera platform was! Clear signs that they're living in a harsh, wasteland environment. Thoughts, anyone?
Everyone seems to assume that a healthy planet can't have dust and debris to deposit particulates upon, contaminate and obstruct the camera
Not always necessary for a large door to be accessed exclusively by an advanced engineer. Size doesn't always mean complexity. 😅😂😊
The drive sheriff Juliette Nichols possesses and the fob mayor Bernard Holland has both have the number 18.
The fob flashing and vibrating was probably indicating that the drive was being accessed.
All the way back from episode one* lol
