On the idea of telling a prequal during season 2, it could be done like The Expanse did with Solomon Epstein's path to developing an engine for further solar system travel. They did a good job of flashbacks to tell the story on how humanity started to colonize the outer solar system due to this technological development. Maybe Silo could do similar but over a whole season rather than an episode.
*Big spoilers in this comment* I think if they hop from Juliet and her journey into silo 17 into her finding solo then into solos story for an episode, ending in him talking to silo one and introducing Donald. From there I think it should hop between Juliet, Donald and Lucas back in silo 18. I think having the door at the bottom of the silo introduced in season 1 will help them to join silos 17+ 18 over the course of season 2. When Juliet and solo uncover evidence of what happened with the silos that could be an opportunity to jump back to Donald's story in silo 1. The story of what happened during the rebellion in 18 might be ok to omit completely so you can dive deeper into Donald's story, you could end it with him trying to escape silo 1 or with the original event at the Georgia fair. I can't wait to see how they pull it off!!
it's easy enough in S2 to have the first scene as a flashback to the silo origin timeline, weave whatever details they want, then suddenly cut to Juliette on the outside. This can be done throughout the entire season, just like they did in S1 with all the flashbacks
The show made me believe that outside was green and lively. Also I thought they were poisoning the people through the filters. Plus when the power went off to make the fix on the generator the screen flickering from green paradise to toxic world sort of threw me off as nobody commented on what happened. I thought that small insignificant scene kind of screwed over the new viewers or new fans that didn't know anything about this show or even the books.
I almost thought i made up that the screen flickered green, kind of weird that that went unnoticed with all those people in the room. It made me think for a second that they just had to reset the power to fix a bug in the camera system or something.
The way the show did it was so great. The suspense the whole season that the outside is just fine, just to find out not only is the outside in fact dead, but there's MORE silos?!?! So much at once made the end so shocking.
I love when TV shows/Movies add or change the story of original book I've already read. Because I've already read the books and would love a new story _based_ on the books I love so much.
I know this is a big nit pick, but the size of the silo ring on the surface doesn't jive with the internal size of the silo. They are WAY too close together to be separated. Also, if you look at the size of the levels with the farms, you'd think the dug out area beyond the central core is ENORMOUS for those levels, and even then they wouldn't be big enough to raise anywhere near enough food (plus have room for livestock) to feed 10,000 people...
Any flashback must be sprinkled in season 2 as a discovery by Juliette or another character thru another hard drive, film projector, or a journal because if they do just a flashback story, it will kill the shows momentum and all the character development they made in season 1. However, if they do go this route, then they must be careful not to overextend or deviate from the books main storyline so it doesn’t have a negative impact.
I'm excited to see what they keep/change in season 2! I just started book 3 and I'm loving this series! The second half of book one is wild. Hopefully they find a way to do a bunch of it in the show! For book two they might have to try to do that book in a couple episodes before making book 3 into a show.
I think they’ll have to rework a lot of the events in Shift to make it work in the show. So much happened that it would be hard to cover everything in a couple episodes. I think they could do a prequel episode explaining how the silos came to be and then rework the plot to make the events in Shift happen at the same time as the silo 18 plot ( a lot of them already do). But they’ll have to figure out something, I don’t see a way for them to do the Dust arc without introducing viewers to the people in silo 1 first.
Bernard could potentially send Lucas on a “duty” to prove his loyalty instead of sending him down at all. Could cause tension between sims and Lucas. Bernard did mention with sims having a family maybe he isn’t the best candidate. Also I’m glad they left the outside world a mystery until the end, gives you something to hope for instead of knowing it’s doomed from the start.
For the second book, I hope she finds her way to another silo or something and they tell her stories about when it started so you get some flashbacks that way.
The differences is interesting. Interestingly enough, i really like how i accidentally went through the series which is: watch the show, read the second book, read the second half of the first book, and read the 3rd. I’m pretty sure this is exactly how the show will do it too.
@@shawnatv4355 Yeah that and how she knew it was a simulation. The outside part with the meadow, tree and grass. I still don’t understand WHY have a fake simulation for those outside who are about to die? Perhaps to give them beauty upon death?
@@henryjohnson-ville3834I just finished reading all the books because I couldn’t wait for the show, that was my biggest question, thankfully it was answered quickly and should be answered in season 2.
@henryjohnson-ville3834 The reason for the simulation is to make them want to clean the lens so that people will see what they think is a beautiful world with birds and such. It is the philosophy of sometime creating cleanable offenses to get the lens cleaned periodically.
I want season two to explain exactly where the mines are . They can’t be under the Silo because then they will see the big machine . They can’t be to the side because the other Silos are right next door . Where the hell are they ? When Juliette goes into another silo where everyone is dead , does she go to the bottom and find the tunnel and go back to the first Silo in book 3 ?
The show has done a much better job than the book of fleshing out the world and characters of Silo 18. It feels like we'll have much more of a stake in what happens and who is affected by the events that follow Juliette's anti-cleaning. I do think the show spent too much on the George thing and the book too little, but what bugged me most was actually the flash that appeared in the cafeteria screen showing the pretty helmet display. There's no reason this would've happened and, rather than being the intriguing clue they clearly intended, it's just incredibly misleading.
Having not read the books, I think it was smart to leave the outside reveal until the end. Putting it much earlier on would have removed a ton of mystery from the show. That said, I do feel the show dragged a lot in the middle (interesting to know lots of that wasn't in the book). I do think you made a good point though about having her go out to clean in episode 9, then show where that sort of leads as episode 10.
It makes sense she gets inside another silo. Her knowledge and skill set would be critical to keeping one operational even if it is basically dead in the water.
Thank you for revealing where season 1 of the tv show ended in the book. I was going to buy the audio books but didn’t know if I’d miss something if I skipped book 1.
Book Spoilers: I just listened to the audio book for Shift and while long I do feel like it can be done rather fast in a show format. I think if they do intertwine the 2nd part of Wool and Shift I think they will play with non readers by having the time placement of the Silo 1 Perspective of troy in question first and then reveal it with the 2049 timeline later rather than lead with it.
@@KaimukiKid69 There has to be system where mayor answers to Judicial then Judicial answers to someone higher, like in our real life with the ruling elite behind the shadows while our “president” is running America.
Why is it so difficult to find good shows like this one I hadn't even heard of it until a random find in IMDB Its frustrating because most of the time i can't find anything to watch... Yet this was there all along
@@DoublePMedia my reasoning,the story of the book series is so damn interesting and intriguing,so damn many plot twists in every book,is something unique never before seen on a tv show,at least none that i know of
@@DoublePMedia To be honest I read it rather fast so after I see season two I will probably read it again. Like I said, I love the TV series much better than the book and can't wait to see what they do with this part.
I agree with Bubba! After the TV show finished Season 1, i went out and got the Wool and Shift books. Finished the first and half way through the 2nd book as i write this. I DO THINK that it would be more interesting to start to weave in parts of Shift as we enter into Season 2 of the TV series. Would definitely provide some interesting connection for viewers who are no doubt wondering about this key part of the story. Just the first part of Shift. I don't think viewers would get confused if they did it right, and like the book, label the screen when they flip back between years. My concern is that while i found the rest of Wool extremely interesting, i don't feel like we get much in the way of 'new' characters beyond what limited elements Jules encounters in Silo 17. Since Shift has 3 clear sections, it seems to me that they could weave in 'Section 1: Legacy' into Silo Season 2. Great work as always i hope you post a couple more Silo episodes before 'deep freezing' until Season 2
@@nurasam You can read the first book 'Wool' threw Chapter 34, and you shouldn't be spoiled for season 2. If you want to read what happens next, buy 'Wool' and start at Chapter 35
Speaking of things that should have been included...They really glossed over the whole thing about the tape and that is so important in the story's plot line that something should have been cut to better explain the tape. Hopefully that is something they cover next season in a flashback episode.
Great Description, I agree Juliette will go to check the other SILO sites obviously, but very carefully she know there will be someone watching, I would like to see scenes of abandon SILOS and she will explore inside and will find More and more crazy information, there are multiple Possibilities inside other Silos, it will be great if they produce more than 3 Seasons, but i doubt it. Waiting for your Next Silo videos.
@@DoublePMedia - They’ll start in the first episode. Well either start with the past of the next Silo, or we’ll start with the walk over the hill. This show has already been following the LOST playbook. It’s worked so far. They just keep it going.
That's my assumption as well... the one caveat: they're filming now and unless I missed it, no actors have come out and claimed to have been cast for season 2. You'd think they'd want some sort of name for the Shift roles and the role of Solo
@@DoublePMedia this might be a sign that they're not releasing casting details for anyone in S2 yet including any flash backs then? Maybe there's an NDA involved so we get a nice surprise, and to throw off any book-readers who may spoil and yi manage expectations.
As a complete muggle who just saw the show on apple tv I was absolutely enthralled by the story and the ending absolutely shocked me, did not expect that plot twist. Did feel like guy from cafeteria (Lucas I suppose?) was superfluous and kinda bummed there wasn't any resolution for the underwater door but I suppose it's gonna be in season 2 since she told Bernard. Juliette is pretty likeable as a lead although gotta say that taking on three men in armour or pushing Simms down cracked me up. That guy's an absolute unit, less of that please 😂
@@bradylyons3281 yes but that door was not accessable until someone dug 30ft through reinforced concrete to expose the void under the silo. the door must have been used in the construction phase.
The water is an important part to tie to Season 2, I believe. Now that we know the silo is but one of many silos around then tunnel below can very well be the way to link them. Knowing there is a water barrier to overcome yet George mentioned it is nothing. This adds more mystery to Season 2.
Ummm... without spoiling the end of the first book, the water at the bottom of the silo gets revealed relatively soon after Juliette arrives at her next destination. So introducing it in season 1 added another mystery without a payoff. The show has plenty (too many) imo
@@DoublePMedia Isn't "To be continued" good? Otherwise, with everything paid off what's for us to look forward to in Season 2? I sincerely don't understand your complaint about the water looming over Season 1 unresolved being a bad thing.
@@ConcernedPublic Not 'good' nor 'bad' - It's a matter of taste. As we point out in the first part of the podcast - the show has SO MANY unresolved questions, I argue the number of outstanding mysteries outweighs the benefits. 'Puzzle box' shows can create very dedicated fans, but LOST was never the #1 show on TV for a reason. imo SILO would be an even bigger hit if it had been closer to the book's narrative and closer to the nature of the books which is NOT a puzzle box mystery.
@@DoublePMedia Fair enough. I've not read the book so I don't have the insight or knowledge of the official 'story;' therefore, your perspective. What I can tell you is I enjoyed the development of the plots in Season 1, whether it was faithful to the books or not. I appreciate the rich depiction of human, social, political, and personal/collective struggles and aspirations of the story. Unlike some other shows, I find that there's a lot to chew on simply because it is not a superficial story - I see so much parallels to our lives today. We're all living in our own silos in some respect and believe in our 'own truths' which, unbeknownst to us, may very well be totally apart from facts. Misinformation is now justified on the ground of survival, morality, necessity, ... decided by a few in order to 'contain' us - sacrificing a few for the good of the majority, on whim of a few, is, somehow, moral and just. To live is to conform, to question is to die... for the greater 'good' defined by a few. Freedom and knowledge are, somehow, inconvenient, undesirable, dangerous, and even evil. They got me hooked, especially with little payoffs. I, for one, definitely look forward to Season 2.
I think they will put the current characters in situations that are similar to the events of the past and flash back to them to a) show the parallels between then and "now" as well as b) serve as a way to tell those stories on the show without having to do a prequal season. I'm not familiar with the books and this is the first I've looked at anything outside of the show. But, if I were making a TV show and in that situation of having to tell a past story without giving it it's own separate season or dedicated arc over a period of x seasons, that's how I would handle it. I've appreciated hearing your perspectives and that even your spoiler portion was fairly spoiler free. ;)
Or she could go to the server room in the other silo and find old video this would be the most natural way of learning about the past and we learn as the characters do
Nonsensical argument! Just enjoying the show! Rarely does a movie or television scrip follow the book! Yeah, read the book, but enjoy the program! I love a mystery, and season one has captivated my attention! I want season two right now, instead of this November when season two is released!
Spoiler from books: you didn’t explain to your friend well that book two is not just a prequel. But that the third part of the book actually is mostly present time and the fall of silo 17. So it should be fairly easy and seamless of how they can dedicate 1 episode, probably episode 2, to the first part of the book of how the silos were built. And then have a half an episode or even a full episode flashback somewhere on the fall of silo 17 to show the shifts in silo 1. And at the end of the season you can combine the two timelines. Or even have episode one being the building of the silos with an intro of Bernard calling silo 1 in the first few minutes, and then have flashbacks of fall of silo 17 when she finds it with silo 1 being a part of the story going forward. And obviously you’ll need a flashback from the second shift explaining the water and the ones that remember which I think are the flame keepers/people with the syndrome.
Thanks for the feedback! Catfish plays an odd role on the podcast: He's read the books, but he doesn't remember anything, therefore he fills the role of the non-book-reader host. Plus, he's so forgetful and quite frankly senile, that it wasn't a joke, he won't remember any of this conversation in a year. HOWEVER just for safety, when he's in the spoiler part of book talk, I do keep the spoilers more general than specific.
@@DoublePMedia haha i know what you mean :) i actually read the book back when it was coming out and didn't remember a single thing :) thank you for replying and love your channel
Season 1 is so dragged out and packed with fillers. I agree that Juliette's cleaning should've been earlier, and we got to see the fallout on Bernie a lot earlier. The whole fixing a generator and murder of deputy chief and mayor was wholly unnecessary.
My question is, what the hell do they need the green pastured hologram? Why did they need it if the Judiciary was telling the truth about a desolate environment outside the Silo?
I am a show watcher and I was looking for a video like this, because I really felt that show had a lot of potential that it didn't utilize fully well. When you mentioned the differences with the book - it seemed exactly what was wrong with the show. It seemed like the dragged-out mysteries for way too long without giving much to latch on to, which made me not care about mysteries that much - and the final reveal that the truth that they thought was a lie was actually a truth after felt very weak to me. If they revealed it in episode 5 like you suggested - it would've been more interesting to me. Other reveals - a bad guy that turned out to be a bad guy, very weak world-building (it felt like there were about 10-20 people who were "oppressing" the rest of the population, er?)...
Hopefully we say in the podcast: the show isn't bad (in fact, some like the show better) -- yet the show broke a number of things that were great in the books.
I remember when I was reading the story that I wanted to know what happened in the past in silo 18, what caused the rebellion. I thought I didn't remember a Judicial. Sims to me represents the guards who guard IT. Sims the shadow?! Hell no! I remember a character mentioning having a caretaker for a father, vaguely. Did they conflate that? Was that Lucus? I would have preferred the George actor to have been Lucus frankly. I think the next season can switch between the aftermath in silo 18 of her going out and disappearing and what happens to her and where she goes. I guess the big door will be the final episode, seeing what's behind the door, she'll figure out how to open it.
I think they could skip book 2 or compress it into the odd flash back, I was disappointed in book2 due to the drastic change in direction and not expanding in the cliffhanger at end of book 1. Its a good book, but wanted a continuation.
@@DoublePMedia I can see hints already. I think they will revisit Alison's past and last big revolution (I'm brainfarting on what they called it at the moment). I think they will introduce Donald and that bit.... just to get a taster. either by the end of season 2 or intertwined... as that will most definitely affect how the next stages of the story will start to build. The writers are already jumping around the history and storyline a bit. so I think those are perfectly applicable to assume they will integrate into the episodes.
Based how they showed a destroyed city (probably Atlanta) in the background on the surface I don't think they're going to follow the book as far as why the silos were built. The 3rd book reveals that there's a toxic cloud around the silo entrances, but the rest of the world has recovered. If the whole area in still poised for hundreds of miles in all directions, the story might not involve nanotechnology at all.
I finished season 1 finale, thought to myself that the story was so interesting I had to read the books. Finished Wool/Shift/Dust and now reflecting back on the show it was a pretty bad adaptation, even while watching it as a non-reader I was like "what the heck is all this random drama" and felt vindicated when reading the books to find out it was Hollywood bloat. I really hope they correct the storytelling in season 2, I cannot stand a repeat of the pacing in season 1.
(kinda spoilery warning for book 1 and a bit of book 2!) So I've only read about half of Shift, and none of Dust. But my understanding is that Shift covers the history of the silos up to the point of Juliette's cleaning, and also goes into the back story of Solo. Then the Juliette narrative continues in Dust. So here's how a 4 season show could go (I may be talking out of my butt here, but...): seasons 1 and 2 cover book 1, plus some of Solo's back story, and maybe some other history. Seasons 3 and 4 then cover book 3, also with some back story. Basically you don't make book 2 into a season (some of it is pretty dull anyhow, at least what I've read of it), but rather drip feed it into the other seasons. I'm not convinced Sims will be Bernard's shadow, but rather I think that he has a date with a balcony rail in his near future. As to whether Lukas will be made shadow per the book? You can make a case that by releasing him from the mines Bernard is buying his loyalty. Or they could go in another direction. Hugh Howie has said in interviews that there will be some major deviations from later books (see the interview on Pete Pepper's channel for example). It would sure be interesting to see the mines and the tunnel. But Juliette needs a reason to come back to Silo 18 at the end of book 1, and she sure ain't gonna come back for Sims...
I just hope they don’t go too off the rails with Simms in season 2. Still don’t know how I feel about the idea of getting him fully involved in the story
Watched the first 2 episodes. REALLY REALLY don't have time for a full "Let's Solve" on it at this moment. But maybe if I'm free this weekend, I can do mini-versions
I havent read the book. I just finished watching. Personally I think the show dragged out for too long. I like episode 1-2. The story was flowing nicely. When Julia became the main character, everything drags on for too long. About like episode 6 I already had a feeling that it's probably really toxic outside, like twist of twist. Because the show tease it so much it became like yeah whatever toxic or not just get on with it. They should have cut all the Who is the real villain out, keep it at 5 episodes, first 2 as is, 3-4 about Julia, 5 to wrap up S1 story and tease for S2.
@@DoublePMedia Then the book is superior yet again. It's a shame though, 'cause while watching the first two episodes I told myself I got a new series to look forward to. It's like one of those show where they were told to make this many episodes or they dont get green lit. Knowing they dont have enough content, they force themselves to make it, ending up spoiling the whole thing.
Similar but IMO worse just because All the characters felt smarter in the book. They were asking many big questions that are just never really brought up in the show.
@@DoublePMedia True but my big problem with the show and I'll just use Allison and Juliette for my point. In the book both of them find answers and bigger questions themselves, both through their own actions as well as their connections to other people. They mention the questions at the start (the we don't know why we are here, etc etc) Both characters find FAR more questions and evidence of a much bigger far reaching conspiracy then we are shown in the show at all. In the show the characters are all "A leaf in the wind" never moving on their own power but the whims of others. As far as what could have been cut the ENTIRE generator scene Expecially when Juliette abandons her post where she would have been far more useful and instead sent someone else to spray water. Also the founders built a generator that could survive for years but no bypass valve?
Also, the author must never have actually been to Atlanta, because I can tell you there is NOWHERE in Fulton county (Which is mostly downtown Atlanta) far enough away to show downtown like we saw it in the distance, AND flat enough and cleared enough to build all those silos... NOT EVEN CLOSE.
Of all the changes so far... the introduction of Sims and judicial is the most destructive. I don't think it was necessary at all and more importantly, disrupted the core story as you suggested...Lucas can't be the IT Dir. shadow. The tension of Lucas not knowing anything is what drove that side of the original story. Sims is in the know. He might not know the complete story...but he knows enough to not be troubled by the rest of it. Lucas was. Lucas went from not being in the know...to in the know and blowing the job interview. Sims wouldn't do that. Sims and Judicial is the key mistake in the TV storyline. It breaks many things in the rest of books one and two.
Spoiler of the book ahead... . . . . . . . . . My guess for the water thing you mentioned at 5:00 is that they are trying to ignore the digging thing in the show, and use that tunnel as a way through instead
Here to add my customary interaction to help you gain favor with our AI overlords. As usual, asking the questions I need answers to! Glad you guys are still Cleaning! #JudgeJudyforBernardsShadow
Maybe most of the silos have gone bad in one way or another and Bernard and the previous mayors have been doing their best to hide their silo from other dangerously rogue silos. Maybe some silos have been fighting each other and Bernard and his predecessors have been doing all they can to keep their silo out of in. Even going so far as to flood the underground access point to defend against potential invaders from other silos. I wander at what point Bernard is still in contact with any other silos or has news about what's going on with the other silos or has any idea about what's going on beyond these local silos. Or even how much he really knows about the grand history of his own silo.
but access from the void under the silo into didn't exist until a hole was dug through reinforced concrete, that was done from above. that chamber is huge. also Bernard knew nothing of the door. I was never an intended part of the silo occupants to use, maybe a fail safe. A tunnel was on the blue prints maybe thats what made people investigate.
I am a viewer that has not read the books and I was really enjoying the show until the Finale. I was disappointed to learn that Allison and Sheriff Holston died in vain. Allison was certain that the display was wrong and the show let us believe that as well. Now that we learn the outside is desolate then almost all of the mystery built up is rendered moot. We now know why the Silo or Silo's were built ( No more mystery there). The relic that Billings burnt is moot because it doesn't matter what the outside was like because it is No More; therefore it is no longer dangerous for anyone to know.
In the first book, because on page 40 you learn that Holston and Allison are dead - it's a real gut-punch to the reader. However because it's so early in the book, I didn't find it so depressing that I wanted to throw the book away... more like a dark Twilight Zone/Black Mirror twist. And you flip the page to learn the next dark twist.
Spoiler alert! Second book Shift tell why and how bad things will get. I hope season 2 is Shift. Book 3 goes back to present time. When they explore all the remaining silos.
Probably 40% into the first book....so much ground to cover but I think they did a great job but so much to realize I am not sure how they want to handle it.
@@DoublePMedia I finished the show which is how I know they probably used 40% of the first book and with soooooo much ground to cover, i'm concerned they won't be able to do it justice in a creative way. So take the remaining 60% of Wool, are they going to make that into all of S2? I think they will need to seriously condense the remaining story, not to mention the prequel aspect. Hell of a challenge as I sit and think about it. You mentioned ASOIAF (GoT) but Silo doesn't have anywhere near as much detailed world building and nuances as that and SILO life doesn't exactly translate to an 6-7 season run IMO.
@6:40 But Halston *did* realize it was fake…at first he saw the beautiful fake world and was saying Allison was right, then he started to feel weird and tripped - I don’t think it was over Allison’s body, but before it, which at first he thought her body wasn’t there….then took his helmet off which elicited gasps from the SiloWatchers. I’ll have to go back and read the book and rewatch the episode as I think I must not be remembering either one very well. As for the whole tape/suit bit, I totally got this backwards, as I thought IT’s tape was the best, and the other tape used throughout the Silo was crap and that was what was used on the suits. I thought IT was mad because they realized it was such higher quality, protected against the heat better for the generator and figured they’d end up using the better tape for Juliette’s suit. I had it totally backwards but also the suit but right, just not which was which. I don’t know how,I got this confused because when Juliette said in ep 9m(I think) that “It’s tape was crap” I was like “What?? No, that was the whole reason it worked for the generator because it was better, and the typical “the privileged get better everything”motif” but I was obviously really mixed up! LOL! Now, not trying to be controversial but I too thought the show did the story better, but again, I didn’t read the books until after I saw the series Iand was pretty durn shocked at how much further in the story Book 1 goes! I skipped most of Book 2 when I realized it was a prequel, but I have to go back and read it after reading book 3 and getting some guests from 2! Anyway, I do think there are some bits that maybe don’t have the best explanation other than “crazy government psychos”. I like how the ‘’relics”are handled in the series, I George and having him discover most of the stuff that Juliette’s character as portrayed probably wouldn’t t care so much about but inherits info from a “fanboy” worked great. I loved the Georgia guidebook and not sure it even could have worked the same way in the book (I didn’t miss it somehow did I?). The whole cleaning the camera but would of course be solved by having a wiper or other self cleaning tech, I mean a culture that can build a Silo or 50 surely to go could think up “might get dirty”. This whole illogical bit made me honestly think the whole display was fake, especially after the Ep3 graphics glitch when the power shuts down (what was that anyway, do you guys discuss it?) and then in Ep 10 there were many long shots where it appeared there were NO BODIES outside! I saw many other people note this too so was t just me who thought it. Anyway I need to go back and really give the books a thorough read instead of the rushed way I did. But whichever is better, the lucky part is they both are AWESOME and totally digging this series (nod nod wink wink).
Oh I keep forgetting to ask you guys but I have noted this elsewhere - Apple debuted their “Apple Vision” headset about the time this series started. Coincidence? I think not! Pretty sure whoever had the idea for the headset got it from Silo and after discussing how it would work (especially if there’s an 8x2 “retina” display inside obscuring the wearer’s face, that a “fake” display of the wearer’s face would also have to be projected to the outside viewers (or do they just see black?) and how it overlays reality (ie when they walk up the stairs/ramp,, turn an look at the cameras and clean it, they have to be seeing the real world in some way, but when the overlay kicks in it does it so smoothly that they don’t notice, yet the overlay isn’t perfect as they trip over the landscape that obviously isn’t the same as the time it was filmed hundreds of years ago…or is it totally cgi? A whole discussion of the helmet and if these very books inspired it thus Apple’s timing of introducing it even tho it won’t be available for a year or more…guess they didn’t want people saying Silo came first and Apple copied the idea even tho I think that’s probably what happened! :-)
Be safe and don't watch the rest -- however if you do continue the video - the spoilers are very general and not specific story beats of the 2nd half of the first book.
So aren't things explained in the book? Does book have an ending?? If yes then why are we theorising? What happens in the book? Why did they do it? What happened with the outside world. How come nobody knows if books exist?? What??
This was a great show but The Expanse is the greatest adaptation & books ever. & it's pretty difficult to top that so silo is still good scifi. Theory time - I don't understand how so many people are confused about what she gonna do now will she go to that city? Or dance infront of the other silo's camera. But nobody realized how insanely huge each circle is she basically can't go beyond say silo no 17 or 19 whichever she chooses. Also if you freeze frame the shot you will not see any bodies in front of those nearby silo's that means either they got out or died inside(pretty unlikely as no one to help her) so she probably will just meet others who got out of their silo. & probably use that 15ft door from silo 17 or 19 to enter her silo & just imagine if by that time Bernard is also trying to open that door from his side but because he doesn't have Juliette (best mechanical person out there) she is the one who gets in first. Man I have to read books asap. 😂 Also lucas gonna come super handy next season like comon he is literally sent to the mines at the down deep & where is the door? So 100% that's why lucas was there not to become another George to Juliette. The only thing i hates the most was the whole generator scene with Juliette pumping cold water on a superhot metal door & she isn't burning up? She should have been killed lol. Also we DON'T find out that there are other silo's in last ep. It's pretty evident in previous episodes when Bernard says the "serial number is 18 One Eight" when everything else has a 9 digit code, his keyfob had no 18, the freaking mention of tunnel & the blueprint showing the tunnel sideways way in the beginning episodes so those who paid attention knew there has to be more silo's. Also the whole thing with books was it was never 1 book the whole thing was 4-5 mini stories so howey had to give out most answers in 1st draft/story of holsten (atleast that's what he has mentioned in interview) so they did the right thing keeping the "suspense" for some😅 till ep10. Lovely scifi not the best not the worst pretty good. Ps- westworld, severence & Expanse are all better though anyone reading this i would highly recommend you to watch those especially the Expanse & severence.
Great feedback. Bubba here: My own history with The Expanse - I read the first book, Leviathan Wakes: loved once the action kicked in, but wasn't in love with either POV character. Watched first season - found it "fine". Then watched the 2nd season: IT WAS GREAT - the best show on TV. 3rd season: BRILLIANT - best show on TV. 4th, 5th & 6th season: Very good, but not as good as the incredible highs of season 2 & 3.
