We’re halfway through Silo (tv show). I’ve never read the Wool books or anything.
My predictions/thoughts right now:
- There’s more than one silo and that’s what the tunnel/door at the bottom of their silo leads to.
- I’m predicting judicial has a secret elevator and that is what’s behind the janitor closet door (or part of it)
- Maybe the outside really is barren and toxic but the greenery is shown in the visor to the people sent out to clean, thus tricking them into cleaning.
-I can’t figure out why magnification beyond a certain level is outlawed but that can’t be arbitrary. Maybe it just has to do with preventing people from figuring out relic technology
-Those lights in the sky are stars
-But in all seriousness, Romeo and Juliette are called “star-crossed lovers” in the very beginning of the play so that’s interesting.
-I don’t think both Juliette’s mom and brother killed themselves. At least one was a shady murder I think. But I don’t know why. Maybe her brother was killed for taking up too much medical resources?? Her mom questioned things?
More questions I still have:
-how are the judge and the head of IT elected/appointed?
-do they actually have elections for mayor or is the process rigged?
I started Silo and I like it so far. Mission Impossible, Dune and now Silo I really like Rebecca Ferguson as an actress. I think I'm gonna explore her filmography.
We do not know why we are here. We do not know who built the silo. We do not know why everything outside the silo is as it is. We do not know when it will be safe to go outside. We only know that day is not today.
Right I forgot to do these. So I’ve watched the episode twice and honestly I didn’t love it, but reading other reviews I think I may need to watch a third time because apparently there was a lot of stuff I didn’t notice. I think I went into it expecting it to be more of a Sarah episode than it was, so I set myself up for a bit of disappointment.
From the article I read a while back about them filming in Hamilton (which is where Makenna’s “apartment building” is actually located, not Toronto) I assumed it was John and Diesel filming there. Then realizing that Mayko had also filmed there, I figured Charlie and Rex would somehow join Sarah. It was kind of weirdly cut and I feel like maybe there were edits made once they saw the start-of-season fan backlash over the constant siloing of Charlie and Rex. I don’t know. It felt choppy and the Toronto trip felt unnecessary but it could have been an actor availability thing.
I wonder if the “aren’t you supposed to be flying” line from Charlie to Joe was meant to be a reference to Kevin guesting on SkyMed (apparently for several episodes, IDK what the story was though as I have only watched part of s1 of that show.)
I’m still annoyed about them going all the way to “Toronto” and not showing any of Sarah’s family, but it wouldn’t have worked with the plot.
I love Charlie and Sarah being soft in hospitals.
Sarah hanging out on the swings with coffee is my new happy place.
I still need more Charah. I’ll do a post-ep because I want some Sarah feels over Andrew nearly dying. Also I would like Sarah and Makenna to be friends. (Also I half-expected Sarah to be delivering Makenna’s baby.)
Anyway, season of side hugs continues. It’s not much, but I’ll take it.
Next week: Looks intense. Maybe some Charah? And Rex in danger again…oof.
