Making barely any progress in 10 episodes is crazy. I was most hyped for Juliette’s story but honestly Bernard stole the show for me this season in having the most interesting moments.
yeah, hes for sure got the most meat on his bones when it comes to character development, he's slipping more and more into the role of "tragic villain" I think.. a person forced into choices that he knows will hurt innocent people but chose to carry those sins for what he really believes is necessary to keep the silo from being destroyed, That doesn't make him a nice person but I'd say he's a more forgivable villain than Sim's who's far more interested in his own pursuit of power within the Silo Heavy is the head that wears the crown, as they say
I’ve never seen a show drag so much! It’s boring, Im bored and not even sure why I keep watching. The writing is similar to a car accident; it’s awful, but you can’t help yourself from rubber-necking!
@@louisvarre2197 yeah this is exactly what happened with the walking dead show. That show was competing with GOT but they messed it up with bad story telling.
Having Juliette spend almost the entire season pottering around an empty silo not doing or learning very much has been such a drag. They really didn’t judge that right. Pacing is way off.
Well she's an engineer so she fixes things and seeing her and Solo bond and solve problems is interesting too. But honestly the game of thrones chess Bernard Sims Meadows Billings play is more interesting. Jules is almost a side character this season but she's going to stop the rebellion next season.
@ - we already saw Juliette fix something major - the massive Silo generator in the 3rd ep of season 1. We already have that insight into her character, didn’t need to see 8 eps of it again in slow, painful motion this season. Or long scenes of her recovering from random infections and the bends (to what end?!). The main Silo stuff is just okay, but you can tell how much they’re trying to stretch everything out to spread it over 10 eps. It just means progressively diminishing returns all round. Such a pity.
Well, they've chosen to have her character more present in Season 2 of the show than she is in Book 2 of the book series. She's barely in Book 2 at all.
All these theories and not one theory about how SLOW the pace of this series is...AND ON PURPOSE!!!! Juliet could have thrown a new suit back on and went back to her silo in one episode...but noooooo. She had to meet a quak, get an infection, overcome a fear of water and become a d@mn deep sea diver, get the bends, hang out under water for a while and get shot with an arrow by a teenager with no apparent reason to even have a bow and arrow. Now in EP 9 we have to sit through the acquaintance process...then once acquainted we find out that the teenagers need something...Juliet will surely have to help them with whatever that need is before she has her suit returned to her. In the last 10 seconds of the season finale she's gonna show up on the camera back at here silo. We might not even get to see the silo's reaction to her returning. You can literally skip 50% of this "intellectual curiosity snail-athon" and still get the whole story! Most of this show is just filler between plot points! and I hate myself for being hooked in!!!!!!
This episode really had 10min worth of actual substance in it: the mayor produced a mole in mechanical, Julia got shot by an arrow from survivors in silo 17. That's it! Not even Quinn's message actually got revealed. " ... the game is rigged.." is a useless message to the viewer and didn't move the plot since we all knew that. It's freaking crazy!
I do not understand why people defend this weekly drag instead of just releasing the entire season at once. Sure it builds up anticipation and people can speculate but it really kills the immersion. Deep sigh
TBH I much prefer they release it weekly so we can discuss chat and theorize what's happening. Talking about the show and savoring each episode is half the fun.
I did not expect that 8 episodes into season 2, we’d have 0 answeres about the outside world and Juliette STILL just ending up in ANOTHER solo the entire season. They’re really dragging her storyline cuz they know the outside world is what people are really interested in. I bet episode 9 won’t show Juliette at all. Or maybe the last 30 seconds like that one episode
@@imalwaysright They are following the books. Jules spends a lot of time in Silo 17 in Dust. The second book Shift covers the who, what when where and why of the silos. Not sure when or if they are going to cover that book.
Lol. I assume you don’t read the book because Juliette’s timeline is almost exactly like in the first book (minus some details/stories change), which these 2 seasons are based on. I don’t want to spoil anything so keep an open mind otherwise you’ll be disappointed because some won’t be answered as you’re hoping for.
I don't read the book, but even if the timeline matches, the quality of the storytelling could be better. Are the plot details the same as the book, because some of it is ridiculous. All the near-death and dangerous incidents. We know she's not gonna die. and it's unbelievable.
@@imalwaysright I think the book focuses more on events rather than diving deeply into details, and it's a bloodbath, which you’ll see more of in the rebellion. The story does drag a bit with all the planning, but that’s understandable since there hadn’t been a rebellion in 140 years, so they likely didn’t know how to go about it. Some plot points in the book are also different, like the love story between Juliette and Lukas and their communication when she’s in a different silo, while Lukas is Bernard’s shadow after the failed cleaning (he was never sent to the mines). Sim barely appears in the book as well. I can forgive Juliette’s near-death experience now because I don’t recall anyone mentioning her fall into the trash chute in season 1-onto a ton of metal-then being dragged out immediately before getting hit. I think we’ll have to accept some unrealistic details since this is sci-fi, or maybe the human body has adapted to harsh conditions after generations of living in them.
There’s what 10 episodes in this season, and with the trailer connections you made, it feels like they are going to cram so much into final 2 episodes rather than more storytelling over 5-6 episodes they could have done
The Quinn's code has been broken for almost 3 weeks now by reddit users. It reads (spoiler alert): "If you’ve gotten this far you already know. The game is rigged. We think we’re the chosen ones but we’re only one of many The founders didn’t build a single silo They built fifty And they created the safeguard We have been lied to. We are not safe. our home is not a sanctuary but a trap. The fate of this silo is determined by another One with the power to kill everyone here in an Instant reason be damned. If you don’t believe me go to the very bottom of the silo, Find the tunnel, you will get confirmation there."
Media folks got to see episodes one through nine in advance. My guess is Lucas deciphers the code in episode 9 and someone with Apple TV press access leaked the solution.
In the trailer we see Lucas going down the staircase possibly to find the tunnel at the bottom and I think there where he eventually finds it the season will end leaving us with a huge cliffhanger....😊
Predictions for next episode: - Jules gets some life threatening injuries but miraculously survives - Jules gets her suit back after solving an episode long problem, then is faced with another cliff hanger problem that she will spend the finale solving before she can go back to Silo 18 in the last 5-10 minutes of the season - Mechanical continues to rebel against the silo without making any significant progress - Mechanical try to find out who the snitch is & Walk’s behavior makes them suspicious - Sims tries to regain his power - Camille meddles behind Sims’ back - Lukas continues to dig into the Salvador Quinn mystery and finds out nothing other than some vague information hinting that the Silo is bad & suspicious - Bernard is faced with some adversity in his effort to regain full control of the silo - Billings is faced with a conflict of interest between his faith in the pact & his morals and as for the crumbs of actual plot progression: - Some or all of the truth behind Solo’s identity & the backstory of the Silo 17 rebels is revealed. Will likely underwhelming relative to the amount of build up - Answers are given about Camille’s shady behavior (maybe)
In the next episode, Bernard will come across somebody he can now threaten. This comes from the fact that in every other scene, he has threatened someone. So, by episode 9, he masters the art of threatening. If not, there is always " brute force."
It's worth noting in Walker and Bernard's "negotiation" Bernard promises that after everything is back to normal that Walk would be, "reunited with [her] true love once again." He didn't say Carla would be released. I think the "deal" is even worse than Walker knows it is.
Silo is a series that's great to watch while doing something completely different. For example, washing up, cooking or shopping in the store around the corner.
So help me god if the show doesn’t at least finish the 1st book by the end of this season, I’m giving up on it. It’s going so damn slow, and it feels like they’re working toward a cliffhanger that ends just before the events at the end of Wool instead of finishing it already so we can get on to Shift immediately next season. There are two more whole books to cover in the last two seasons the showrunners have confirmed they will make, yet how come they can’t seem to complete even one book in the first two seasons?!?!? This was so slowwwww. Did it really have to take a whole f’ing episode to show what happened to Jules in the 15 minutes after she got out of the water??!?!?
The writing is getting a tad annoying. Juliette walks 3 meters then cuts back to the main silo. She walks another 3meters and cuts back to the main silo. Did they fire the previous writers?
Walker went from cool mentor to easily the worst written character this season. I don't mind a slow burn but this season is starting to get on my nerves now.
@@CrimsonKnight never liked her tbf but the switch to rat on the down deepers came so out of left field my brother in Christ now I just skip past her scenes.
Up to this episode, I was being patient and enjoying the slower pace. But now the writers are going too far. This really should have been more of a 'reveal episode'. I fear they are gonna cram too many b-stories into the last two episodes. I am disappointed. I am investing time and attention, but the writers are taking it too far.
exactly right for me too - this is the first episode when I struggled to suspend my disbelief as i got increasingly frustrated with the slow pace and annoyed at the contrivances used to drag things out for another episode without revealing anything. disappointing. I'll still watch season 3 but i hope the showrunners do some sentiment analysis on YT comments before the script is set in stone.
@charliekelland7564 You put it better into words than myself. Thank you. I am actually still upset. To me, this is Appointment Television. And after all this time, I expect something. Basically, i want some customer service. I genuinely did not expect this dragging after such an excellent first season.
Garbage episode. Dragging on and on and on. Juliette, the bow and arrow girl and her friends are gonna go back to the original silo. But it wont be until season 11.
How do people watch this and call it garbage? The only issue I have is how easily Walk folded. Extremely out of character imo. The rest of the episode was phenomenal? And what do you mean dragging on and on? The editing was perfectly done in order to weave all these plots moving together. Media literacy has really fallen.
@@bendfut learn to respect other people's opinions.......good for you if you like the pacing of season 2......several others think its dragging and a snoozefest, including myself. So don't come at us with that media literacy nonsense. We could just as easily insult your primitive taste.
each episode i see people complaining it’s slow and it IS slow idk why others try to say we don’t have attention spans or whatever. LITERALLY nothing is happening i want to put my attention on something but you could pick a random scene from any episode thus far and juliette would be underwater, mechanical would be breaking into things, sims and camille are scheming. like there is nothing substantial happening or moving the story forward. book pacing ≠ tv pacing. different mediums for a reason. half the plot is others catching up on things we the audience already know and have known for a long time while the mysteries stay locked behind cheap cliffhangers.
This season is going very slow but I do like how its putting some of the characters in the same places as they are in the books. i.e. Lukas as the IT shadow, the surviving children in Silo 17. I hope it'll end with some sort of contact between Silo 17 & 18 and the revelation of Salvador Quinns full message.
given the title of the finale episode, "Into The Fire", I can see the series aligning with the books.. That being said, I think she will be back at Silo 18 by the end of the season finale. The same way she ended up at silo 17 (kinda) at the end of season 1.
@@Ru5hMusicGod I would hate if they ended the season in such a predictable way where she returns to Silo 18 and shows up in front of the camera then everyone stares in disbelief and then crappy orchestra effect plays “Dun dun dun!”. But I don’t think the writers are that bad.
@@numalesoybea1348 Why is that bad? That's the logical consequence of her actions this season. Just because it's predictable doesn't make it bad. People need to get over this idea that everything needs a "twist".
@@bendfut it needs to be something memorable so people are willing to wait another year for season 3 to come out. Season 2 couldn't capture that same feeling as Season 1 where we were in constant suspense because we didn't know what was outside the silo. I had dreams of them breaking out to the roof and being met by flying dinosaurs swooping in to eat them.
@@numalesoybea1348 At this point it doesn't matter if people are willing to wait or not. The series got renewed for seasons 3 and 4, with season 4 being the final season. So, we will get the full story even if people end up not watching after season 3, which is unlikely even with all the complaining. It's one of, if not Apple TV+'s most popular show.
I think the final episode will focus on Juliette going back to the silo, and it will end just as she reaches the silo's territory. That's my prediction!
I was getting impatient at the pacing but tbh atp I’m really enjoying the actor playing Bernard’s performance this season. I’m hoping the last couple episodes give us some rapid fire answers. I guess we’ll see
At this point it's pretty clear to me that Juliette getting out of silo 17 (and returning to hers?) is being saved for the final, possibly the very last scene of the season : )
At the start of this season I was so excited to understand more about this world. Except all I’ve learned about is the bends and how to decode a puzzle. Mind-numbingly slow just like HOTD2
What were they thinking by focussing on silo 18 for so much of season 2? Viewers want to learn more about the outside world but they’re progressing that at a snail’s pace. They need to stop sending Juliette on a side quest every episode. It’s not exactly riveting to have an entire episode’s progress of hers be essentially getting rid of nitrogen from her blood.
It's what the book does. Although they're still on book 1 and we're almost done with season 2. If they're only doing 2 more seasons I'm worried that they're going to rush through book 2 and 3 where a TON of stuff happens. Hopefully they'll get a season 5 and not rush through everything, because spending half the series on book one is a waste.
@@vinyfiny I couldnt finish the book becuz it was moving too slow for me. *SPOILER WARNING* Did Juliette not contact Bernard like one or two chapters after entering the other silo?? I never got to the part where she encounters new people so is communication between silos cut out from the show or did i just forget how it goes?
Reading the comments I honestly have to worry about the lack of patience people have left these days. You should really reduce consuming tik tok videos. Waiting for Episodes used to be normal, including "filler episodes" and all that stuff. It wont hurt your brain to use your imagination in between episodes or seasons. Or !god beware! grab a book and just read the original yourself if you really cant keep it together.
Although im not an actor myself, i find the presence of certain actors like Bernard’s and Julliette’s father very compelling. You can fill their presence on the screen while the others are quite lacking.
For me that didn’t read the book the show is really good. I don’t feel it is slow, it’s like any show, things are happening in every episode and making me ansious to the next one
me too. People are complaining that it's super slow but every episode seems so short to me and i'm always left in anticipation of the next episode. honestly, i started reading the books even.
I’ve been okay with the pacing but these last few episodes have been increasingly underwhelming. The episode cliff hangers that used to excite me are leaving me frustrated knowing another episode of stalling & repetitive storylines are to come
I think solo new about these people, no wonder why he was highly worried/paranoid about closing the vault. It adds up why he lied and never trusted julls
i dont understand how u guys even think hes dead they showed him walking in silo 18. i swear its him and no one even mentioned minute 18 of the episode when bernards shadown is talking to the relative he walks by. can u check it and tell me im not tripping PLEASE.
Shirley has already figured out that Walker has betrayed them as you could see it in her eyes. I was incredibly disappointed in Walker as no one person is greater than the lives of so many. On another note why are the three new comers in the Silo with Juliette so hell bent on having Juliette not succeed in draining or leaving the Silo? They must have figured by the now that the water level will quickly submerge the Silo killing them all.
My worry is the Lucas will open the doors to another Silo on the bottom level and it will be to Solo's silo and a bunch of water is gonna take him out (hopefully temporarily). In doing so the water level will lower and Juliette will tell the others she "fixed the pump" and so the they (which I think are classmates of Solo) will see the receding water and let her into the their entrance to the legacy and give her access to the suit. I hope Lucas survives. But I'm not sure if Bernard will be usurped by Lucas to become the true head of IT, or if someone like Sims or Camille or Mechanical or Lucas takes him out. I think the Legacy in their Silo will just let Sims use the Legacy or any other Head of any Department if they actually get access (it would be fun to see Knox ooooh and aaah over the tech of the Legacy). I think all the heads normally get access but when the last rebellion happened the new head of IT made it so only they had access. Maybe there wasn't a Mayoral Shadow (or also offed in rebellion) and the offed the Head of Mechanical so only IT had access to it and wrote the pact to ensure no more rebellions. I think it was new Head of IT and they probably just made a new Mayor without telling them about the Legacy. I don't buy that Salvador did the wipe and confiscation in the way Bernard says. I think it was Salvador who helped the rebellion. Either started it or allowed it to happen after their Leaders thought to stop rebellions they needed to erase the knowledge. Maybe something like Shadow of IT, Head of Judicial with Shadow, and Mayor on one side with Head of Mechanical with Shadow, Head of IT (Salvador) and Mayoral Shadow on the other. Shadow of IT erases records, Judicial takes books, and Mayor offed before new shadow is chosen since old shadow would have been removed as Shadow by the acting Mayor right after defection to prevent any unauthorized access. Salvador probably hid the message incase the records were all erased (their side lost) and Bernard is kinda fibbing who actually did the erasure since he was probably watching Lucas talking to the descendants and gave him some "secret info" that would help convince them to trust Lucas. I kinda want their Silo to just have a happy ending with Bernard gone, Lucas Head of IT, Sims Head of Judicial on board to protect his family, & Juliette arrives to become Mayor and their Silo must prepare for the reality that maybe they are the last one that is left that is functioning as intended.
I don't understand why the show drags so much while the books are so full of suspence and honestly many things like Juliette diving into freezing waters in S17 makes more sense. In the show, she was wearing almost nothing, in the book she needed a full suit with the helmet to not freeze. and other small important details like that. Books read so well and fun and as much as I appreciate the actors, the amazing sets in the show I am bored and tend to skip minutes
I have mot read the books but I agreed. The writers have gone too far with the slowness. If they just split every episode except the first one to focus on Silo 17 and 18 and cut out the filler everyone would've been happier
Bernard MUST know that by telling Lucas about the memory wiping water, it’s only a matter of time before that gets out Silo-wide Either he plans on killing Lucas pretty quickly, before that happens, or he just doesn’t care and wants to watch this whole thing burn down around him
How is it possible that the most important man in the silo work without a shadow for 25 years? not possible. one of many holes in the plot appearing in the second season which sadly doesn't rise to the briliancy of the first.
I just transcripts the code, it’s not complete but here’s the transcription ( I’m not sure if all letters are correct). “ our done is not a sanctuary but a trap. the fate of this silo is controlled by anotherone fitd the foyer to fill. everyone here is an (immtast or immtant) (reason or lesson)be dammed.if you don't believe me go to the very botton of the silo, tick the tunnel you fill get confirmation there.
Those teenagers who attacked Solo do have food since there are cats, rats, and dogs in the silo; that's why the bow and arrow are used. They were just like Solo, left behind in this silo. They looked younger than Solo because they were not the kids who got left behind; their parents were. Since they have very little education and don't have that birth control thing, they started to have their own children. Seriously, I don't know what will happen next since the show changed so much from the book, and it has been going so slowly. They planned to do 4 seasons, and we're close to midway, but the show has only reached the second half of book 1. My guess is that they might skip most of book 2 since it is mostly a prequel to book 1, and Juliette barely exists in it; the production then only has to cover books 1 and 3.
Think it the show would lose a lot missing Shift. That is where you get the background of who built the silos, why they were built and if I am correct that is where you learn what the end game is.
@@vibovitold Good question, but I'm not trying to deduce who eats what in this story. I'm just bringing out what the author wrote; they (I mean people) even had conversations about whether they should eat puppies or not. And if I try to answer ur question, they eat whatever they can find, and they die when they can't find anything, then some other animals come and eat their corpses. But I'm sure the show can give us a better answer, such as since they are human, they can figure out how to farm at least a little, and go for a bit of hunting from time to time.
@@paininthepatoot I agree. If they do, they'd miss out a lot, but I just don't know how will they tell the whole thing in just 22 episodes without ending like GOT.
I'm finding the entire pace is getting really slow. Waiting a week just to watch ppl get angry, or lost or never really get anything uncovered... hm... is this like a cliffhanger that never ends??? "Let's keep it interesting by never revealing anything until next season" lmao
I frekin hate weekly episode formats, this episode's ending had me screaming from cutting at that moment. one more frekin week to wonder the whole story of them kids.
Season 2 is a masterclass in turning a great show into an absolute joke. I came in hoping to dive deeper into the origins of the silo and learn what’s happening in other silos, but instead, we’re served a warmed-over mess of recycled rebellion plots and pointless scenes that go nowhere. It’s like they asked, “How can we make this as uninspired as possible?” Juliette, the star of Season 1, is now practically a side character. She’s got maybe 20 minutes of screen time, and when she does show up, it’s for meaningless nonsense. Remember her epic water-dive sequence? First, she dives into the water-cut. Then she comes out of the water-cut. Then she finds blood-cut. Wow, edge-of-your-seat storytelling there! Whahahah, who thought that was a good idea? And Solo? He’s devolved into the human equivalent of background noise. The only character I’m remotely enjoying now is Bernard. He’s the only one left who feels like he has some depth or purpose. Simmons was a favorite too-once. Now, he’s been reduced to a bitter, resentful detective whose only ambition is to be Bernard’s shadow. And guess what? He does nothing either! It’s like they decided to neuter every compelling character and leave us with a cast of aimless extras. And let’s talk about the tragic attempts at inclusivity. It’s painfully obvious and hilariously overdone. Everyone in the silo seems to have a black wife or husband. Whahahaha, even Juliette’s love interests are all Indian! All the sheriffs are black now too-except Juliette. Did the writers have a checklist for this? It’s so forced it’s distracting. Representation is great, but when it’s shoved down our throats this blatantly, it feels like a parody of itself. With two episodes left, it’s clear this season is a disaster. Either they’ll rush everything into a chaotic finale or leave us with yet another cliffhanger-probably Juliette and Lukas finally talking on the phone. Lukas and Juliette haven’t even entered the vault yet, by the way, so I’m guessing they’re still working on their lines. This season is such a mess that I wouldn’t be surprised if the finale is just Bernard sipping tea while the rest of the cast stares at walls. Season 2 is a tragic downfall. The pacing is horrible, the characters have been gutted, and the story is going nowhere. Save yourself the pain and skip it unless you enjoy watching a show collapse under its own bad decisions.
Nice way to sandwich your racism in between thoughtful analysis. Do you regularly make a spreadsheet to track the ethnicity of all the characters in the shows you watch to ensure that the ratio of all the white folk to colored conform to MAGA standards?
I enjoy the slow burn but this show has been painful to watch. One could easily imagine the end of season 2 with Juliette at the gates of silo 18 holding a towel. No wonder the IMDB ratings have been absolute disaster for S02 They spent the whole season in charater development of Juliette on how good she is at fixing things like the water pump, seriously dude what the actual fuck viewers knew that she is good at fixing things from S1 e03 on when she fixed the generator. Forcing inclusivity in dystopian sci-fi series, Get the fuck out
Where the hell have the people been hiding this whole season in silo 18?! I love cliffhangers so f’ing much, how they show Juliette getting attacked and shot revealing there are other survivors, then not actually showing them until the end of the episode. love going from Juliette getting shot with an arrow, now we’re gunna jump to Simm’s wife and annoying Judicial raider guy. fast forward Now with only 4 minutes left of the episode we’re gunna go back to Juliette and the mystery of the other survivors responsible for sabotaging the diving gear, attacking solo and shooting Juliette, are a bunch of teenagers, only to have the episode end.
RANDOM Q: why does everyone sent outside (usually) ‘clean’? Are we supposed to believe that cleaners think the only reason people in the silo can’t see the suddenly perfect, VR-generated scene they’re now looking at is because of a little schmutz on the silo camera? I’ve never understood that part of the story. And because this season is so slow, my mind is starting to wander onto these little inconsistencies. Daddy loves you very much.
The 'bends' happens when the air is in compressed form like in a scuba tank. Her air was pumped down and not compressed so how could she get the bends? Rapid assent would not matter...
I literally just said they can’t keep doing a season per silo… they mentioned 15,16 & we literally just spent one whole season in a walking dead silo. The pacing for S3 has to cover a lot of ground because I’m done after that.
This episode really had 10min worth of actual substance in it: the mayor produced a mole in mechanical, Julia got shot by an arrow from survivors in silo 17. That's it! Not even Quinn's message actually got revealed. " ... the game is rigged.." is a useless message to the viewer and didn't move the plot since we all knew that. It's freaking crazy!
I am confused about the cryptic message from Quinn. Before this episode was aired, someone on the Internet was able to decode the message correctly without knowing the primer which is Quinn’s The Pact book. How is this possible?
I'm wondering if the bow and arrow girl and her friends found a secret passage from another silo. Or perhaps they are drilling sideways from one silo to the next? They definitely seem like scavengers.
The story is really cool and they made a very good work in building misteries and tension. However the fact that it release an episode a week is making it perceive slower than it actually is, because a week wait for little progress is exhausting. I really like all the stories in the main silo, for the other silo is going a little too slow and they should have shown more of the secrets of the silo in solo bunker instead of just by Bernard. But I’ve got so hunger for answers that i spoiled myself
The television series has garnered my appreciation; however, I have several concerns regarding its pacing. It appears that the creators are deliberately extending the narrative to provide background information without disclosing too much of the plot. As noted by other viewers, dedicating an entire season to exploring backstories and interpersonal relationships seems excessive. Additionally, when considering the implications of radiation, it is important to differentiate between ground bursts and air bursts, as well as the number of nuclear detonations. The residual radiation from such events could persist for approximately 20 to 40 years. Therefore, if the characters have been underground for over 300 years, it is reasonable to conclude that radiation levels would be negligible. Moreover, the groundwater over the span of 335 years would likely have been contaminated, resulting in lethal consequences for anyone residing underground.
Martha is so insufferable! If she really cared for her ex she would've stayed with her. I feel like I could've skipped 5-8 and wouln't have missed a thing! I hope this is the last of filler episodes and we see some change
At this rate apparently they will be stretching Wool to 3 seasons. That seems a bit much and the cause for the dragging pace. Or episode 10 will be a speed run of wrapping up that book, which looks doubtful.
I’ve really enjoyed the way the show has fleshed out and enriched so much of the book - which proceeds at an extremely brisk pace in comparison. It has really elaborated on the lore. Unfortunately all the benefit of this has been towards the silo 18 side of story, which has necessitated dragging out the silo 17 part of the book to ensure the timeline matches. Silo 17 is by far the most compelling and mysterious part of the story, and dragging this out is very frustrating. It was a bit of a fail on the writers.
Making barely any progress in 10 episodes is crazy.
I was most hyped for Juliette’s story but honestly Bernard stole the show for me this season in having the most interesting moments.
yeah, hes for sure got the most meat on his bones when it comes to character development, he's slipping more and more into the role of "tragic villain" I think..
a person forced into choices that he knows will hurt innocent people but chose to carry those sins for what he really believes is necessary to keep the silo from being destroyed, That doesn't make him a nice person but I'd say he's a more forgivable villain than Sim's who's far more interested in his own pursuit of power within the Silo
Heavy is the head that wears the crown, as they say
To me it's Lucas Kyle. I really hope nothing happens to him.

Having Juliette spend almost the entire season pottering around an empty silo not doing or learning very much has been such a drag. They really didn’t judge that right. Pacing is way off.
Well she's an engineer so she fixes things and seeing her and Solo bond and solve problems is interesting too. But honestly the game of thrones chess Bernard Sims Meadows Billings play is more interesting. Jules is almost a side character this season but she's going to stop the rebellion next season.
@ - we already saw Juliette fix something major - the massive Silo generator in the 3rd ep of season 1. We already have that insight into her character, didn’t need to see 8 eps of it again in slow, painful motion this season. Or long scenes of her recovering from random infections and the bends (to what end?!). The main Silo stuff is just okay, but you can tell how much they’re trying to stretch everything out to spread it over 10 eps. It just means progressively diminishing returns all round. Such a pity.
She went from being the best character to such a boring story
Well, they've chosen to have her character more present in Season 2 of the show than she is in Book 2 of the book series. She's barely in Book 2 at all.
I feel like everything juliette did this entire season couldve been shown to us in one episode or two
This is sad, the story could have been more detained but not draggin
All I know is Juliet gone look like spongebob at the end of this with all the injuries.
Lmaooooo
Watching silo feels like waiting for a glacier to crack. at this pace I might finish the series just in time for the next ice age lol
That’s why I am reading the books. 😂😂😂
Yeah they dragging it on too much season 1 was better
Lmao
All these theories and not one theory about how SLOW the pace of this series is...AND ON PURPOSE!!!! Juliet could have thrown a new suit back on and went back to her silo in one episode...but noooooo. She had to meet a quak, get an infection, overcome a fear of water and become a d@mn deep sea diver, get the bends, hang out under water for a while and get shot with an arrow by a teenager with no apparent reason to even have a bow and arrow. Now in EP 9 we have to sit through the acquaintance process...then once acquainted we find out that the teenagers need something...Juliet will surely have to help them with whatever that need is before she has her suit returned to her. In the last 10 seconds of the season finale she's gonna show up on the camera back at here silo. We might not even get to see the silo's reaction to her returning. You can literally skip 50% of this "intellectual curiosity snail-athon" and still get the whole story! Most of this show is just filler between plot points! and I hate myself for being hooked in!!!!!!
😂😂😂
You can easily tell the writers are preparing for season 3 at this point.
This episode really had 10min worth of actual substance in it: the mayor produced a mole in mechanical, Julia got shot by an arrow from survivors in silo 17. That's it! Not even Quinn's message actually got revealed. " ... the game is rigged.." is a useless message to the viewer and didn't move the plot since we all knew that. It's freaking crazy!
i guess we're entering the 'Silo/Hunger Games' crossover episodes ... oh gawd
😂😂 This is bang on 🎯 and I’ll be back Friday to tell you how correct you were 😂
I do not understand why people defend this weekly drag instead of just releasing the entire season at once.
Sure it builds up anticipation and people can speculate but it really kills the immersion. Deep sigh
Not only that but count the minutes of Rebecca Ferguson appearances in all season 2? Not even 10 min in total. Boring
I think they do it so you have to subscribe longer than one month.
TBH I much prefer they release it weekly so we can discuss chat and theorize what's happening. Talking about the show and savoring each episode is half the fun.
@@TrippingOverParadisebingo!! Was just going to say the same thing
Hot take. I didn't think this show was all that great on season 1
It’s a shame to see Silo really fall off in the second season. I don’t know what they were thinking, but sidelining the main character is not the way.
I did not expect that 8 episodes into season 2, we’d have 0 answeres about the outside world and Juliette STILL just ending up in ANOTHER solo the entire season. They’re really dragging her storyline cuz they know the outside world is what people are really interested in. I bet episode 9 won’t show Juliette at all. Or maybe the last 30 seconds like that one episode
Juliet being in the other Silo all season has not been great, and her scenes/story have been the least enjoyable.
@@imalwaysright They are following the books. Jules spends a lot of time in Silo 17 in Dust. The second book Shift covers the who, what when where and why of the silos. Not sure when or if they are going to cover that book.
Lol. I assume you don’t read the book because Juliette’s timeline is almost exactly like in the first book (minus some details/stories change), which these 2 seasons are based on. I don’t want to spoil anything so keep an open mind otherwise you’ll be disappointed because some won’t be answered as you’re hoping for.
I don't read the book, but even if the timeline matches, the quality of the storytelling could be better. Are the plot details the same as the book, because some of it is ridiculous. All the near-death and dangerous incidents. We know she's not gonna die. and it's unbelievable.
@@imalwaysright I think the book focuses more on events rather than diving deeply into details, and it's a bloodbath, which you’ll see more of in the rebellion. The story does drag a bit with all the planning, but that’s understandable since there hadn’t been a rebellion in 140 years, so they likely didn’t know how to go about it. Some plot points in the book are also different, like the love story between Juliette and Lukas and their communication when she’s in a different silo, while Lukas is Bernard’s shadow after the failed cleaning (he was never sent to the mines). Sim barely appears in the book as well.
I can forgive Juliette’s near-death experience now because I don’t recall anyone mentioning her fall into the trash chute in season 1-onto a ton of metal-then being dragged out immediately before getting hit. I think we’ll have to accept some unrealistic details since this is sci-fi, or maybe the human body has adapted to harsh conditions after generations of living in them.
There’s what 10 episodes in this season, and with the trailer connections you made, it feels like they are going to cram so much into final 2 episodes rather than more storytelling over 5-6 episodes they could have done
The Quinn's code has been broken for almost 3 weeks now by reddit users. It reads (spoiler alert):
"If you’ve gotten this far you already know.
The game is rigged.
We think we’re the chosen ones but we’re only one of many
The founders didn’t build a single silo
They built fifty
And they created the safeguard
We have been lied to.
We are not safe.
our home is not a sanctuary but a trap.
The fate of this silo is determined by another
One with the power to kill everyone here in an
Instant reason be damned.
If you don’t believe me go to the very bottom of the silo,
Find the tunnel, you will get confirmation there."
Was it decoded or is it just straight from the book?
makes you wonder why he "saved" the silo and made everyone forget if he knew it was rigged
Media folks got to see episodes one through nine in advance. My guess is Lucas deciphers the code in episode 9 and someone with Apple TV press access leaked the solution.
I rhink they brute forced the aolution. It took days of colab work
In the trailer we see Lucas going down the staircase possibly to find the tunnel at the bottom and I think there where he eventually finds it the season will end leaving us with a huge cliffhanger....😊
Bernard scenes are the best.
for me it's more lukas's scenes and quinn
Predictions for next episode:
- Jules gets some life threatening injuries but miraculously survives
- Jules gets her suit back after solving an episode long problem, then is faced with another cliff hanger problem that she will spend the finale solving before she can go back to Silo 18 in the last 5-10 minutes of the season
- Mechanical continues to rebel against the silo without making any significant progress
- Mechanical try to find out who the snitch is & Walk’s behavior makes them suspicious
- Sims tries to regain his power
- Camille meddles behind Sims’ back
- Lukas continues to dig into the Salvador Quinn mystery and finds out nothing other than some vague information hinting that the Silo is bad & suspicious
- Bernard is faced with some adversity in his effort to regain full control of the silo
- Billings is faced with a conflict of interest between his faith in the pact & his morals
and as for the crumbs of actual plot progression:
- Some or all of the truth behind Solo’s identity & the backstory of the Silo 17 rebels is revealed. Will likely underwhelming relative to the amount of build up
- Answers are given about Camille’s shady behavior (maybe)
In the next episode, Bernard will come across somebody he can now threaten. This comes from the fact that in every other scene, he has threatened someone. So, by episode 9, he masters the art of threatening. If not, there is always " brute force."
Maybe they will discover a particularly good pencil or tape or other stationery.
It's worth noting in Walker and Bernard's "negotiation" Bernard promises that after everything is back to normal that Walk would be, "reunited with [her] true love once again." He didn't say Carla would be released. I think the "deal" is even worse than Walker knows it is.
indeed, and what a tired trope that is, let's hope they don't resort to it.
yup
Silo is a series that's great to watch while doing something completely different. For example, washing up, cooking or shopping in the store around the corner.
Plotting rebellion, solving word puzzles, guessing who is that kid
Facts. Been editing videos while letting silo just play
So help me god if the show doesn’t at least finish the 1st book by the end of this season, I’m giving up on it. It’s going so damn slow, and it feels like they’re working toward a cliffhanger that ends just before the events at the end of Wool instead of finishing it already so we can get on to Shift immediately next season.
There are two more whole books to cover in the last two seasons the showrunners have confirmed they will make, yet how come they can’t seem to complete even one book in the first two seasons?!?!?
This was so slowwwww. Did it really have to take a whole f’ing episode to show what happened to Jules in the 15 minutes after she got out of the water??!?!?
agreed
I totally agree with you
I thought this was one of the better episodes of the season, but I haven’t enjoyed season 2.
They may make more episodes in the final two seasons....😉
@@ResistanceB.7 bud there are 3rd and 4th season
The writing is getting a tad annoying. Juliette walks 3 meters then cuts back to the main silo. She walks another 3meters and cuts back to the main silo. Did they fire the previous writers?
Walker went from cool mentor to easily the worst written character this season. I don't mind a slow burn but this season is starting to get on my nerves now.
@@CrimsonKnight never liked her tbf but the switch to rat on the down deepers came so out of left field my brother in Christ now I just skip past her scenes.
I didn’t care for this turn either. They claim for love, but wouldn’t that love get her out of her workshop way before? It’s been like 25 years.
Right? They just threw her whole character out the window by making her rat out mechanical 😂
Up to this episode, I was being patient and enjoying the slower pace. But now the writers are going too far.
This really should have been more of a 'reveal episode'. I fear they are gonna cram too many b-stories into the last two episodes.
I am disappointed. I am investing time and attention, but the writers are taking it too far.
exactly right for me too - this is the first episode when I struggled to suspend my disbelief as i got increasingly frustrated with the slow pace and annoyed at the contrivances used to drag things out for another episode without revealing anything. disappointing. I'll still watch season 3 but i hope the showrunners do some sentiment analysis on YT comments before the script is set in stone.
@charliekelland7564 You put it better into words than myself. Thank you.
I am actually still upset. To me, this is Appointment Television. And after all this time, I expect something. Basically, i want some customer service. I genuinely did not expect this dragging after such an excellent first season.
Garbage episode. Dragging on and on and on. Juliette, the bow and arrow girl and her friends are gonna go back to the original silo. But it wont be until season 11.
LOL
Yeah this episode was type sluggish. Especially Juliette parts. It be so damn dark in that other silo idk what the hell going on 😂
almost whole season is dragged. everything is sooo slow
How do people watch this and call it garbage? The only issue I have is how easily Walk folded. Extremely out of character imo. The rest of the episode was phenomenal? And what do you mean dragging on and on? The editing was perfectly done in order to weave all these plots moving together. Media literacy has really fallen.
@@bendfut learn to respect other people's opinions.......good for you if you like the pacing of season 2......several others think its dragging and a snoozefest, including myself. So don't come at us with that media literacy nonsense. We could just as easily insult your primitive taste.
each episode i see people complaining it’s slow and it IS slow idk why others try to say we don’t have attention spans or whatever. LITERALLY nothing is happening i want to put my attention on something but you could pick a random scene from any episode thus far and juliette would be underwater, mechanical would be breaking into things, sims and camille are scheming. like there is nothing substantial happening or moving the story forward. book pacing ≠ tv pacing. different mediums for a reason. half the plot is others catching up on things we the audience already know and have known for a long time while the mysteries stay locked behind cheap cliffhangers.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
If this show ends up canceled they only have themself to blame.
Already confirmed for seasons 3 and 4, with the show ending after season 4. They're filming seasons 3 and 4 at the same time.
I wish they stop giving the carol situation so much screen time.. like who cares about her love life
they are trying hard to make us care about the scums
Bro lgbt community impose that every series or movies talk about the lgbt nothing u can do about it
Facts 💯 I wish they didn't make off the steps
@@chadi5162 cmon if u blame a entire community for the director's vision youre lame. it could be a man and a woman and you wouldnt have said that
A show isn’t complete without a gay relationship for some reason.
This season is going very slow but I do like how its putting some of the characters in the same places as they are in the books. i.e. Lukas as the IT shadow, the surviving children in Silo 17. I hope it'll end with some sort of contact between Silo 17 & 18 and the revelation of Salvador Quinns full message.
given the title of the finale episode, "Into The Fire", I can see the series aligning with the books.. That being said, I think she will be back at Silo 18 by the end of the season finale. The same way she ended up at silo 17 (kinda) at the end of season 1.
@@Ru5hMusicGod I would hate if they ended the season in such a predictable way where she returns to Silo 18 and shows up in front of the camera then everyone stares in disbelief and then crappy orchestra effect plays “Dun dun dun!”. But I don’t think the writers are that bad.
@@numalesoybea1348 Why is that bad? That's the logical consequence of her actions this season. Just because it's predictable doesn't make it bad. People need to get over this idea that everything needs a "twist".
@@bendfut it needs to be something memorable so people are willing to wait another year for season 3 to come out.
Season 2 couldn't capture that same feeling as Season 1 where we were in constant suspense because we didn't know what was outside the silo. I had dreams of them breaking out to the roof and being met by flying dinosaurs swooping in to eat them.
@@numalesoybea1348 At this point it doesn't matter if people are willing to wait or not. The series got renewed for seasons 3 and 4, with season 4 being the final season. So, we will get the full story even if people end up not watching after season 3, which is unlikely even with all the complaining. It's one of, if not Apple TV+'s most popular show.
I was expecting more from this episode
I expected more from the first 8 episodes
6 young rebels just got traded for a glimpse of 1 old rebel
An old rebel who'd never have approved that smh..I was like "wait, walker doesn't know her ex wife??"
The color grading of the episode was annoying too.
And I wonder why it has to be so dark. I have to turn the brightness of my screen all the way up.
I think the final episode will focus on Juliette going back to the silo, and it will end just as she reaches the silo's territory. That's my prediction!
I’m guessing the Mayor telling Walker, “You’ll be reunited.” means he’s going to eventually lock them up together, rather than releasing Carla.
I was literally just looking for this after watching the episode 😂😭
same
I was getting impatient at the pacing but tbh atp I’m really enjoying the actor playing Bernard’s performance this season. I’m hoping the last couple episodes give us some rapid fire answers. I guess we’ll see
His smirk when walker flips him off in the end was funny af…. Fun seeing him unravel
At this point it's pretty clear to me that Juliette getting out of silo 17 (and returning to hers?) is being saved for the final, possibly the very last scene of the season : )
I think that is how they will end Season 2. It is the only way to stop what is happening in Silo 18.
Silo season 2 has been cooking though 🔥 💯
Glad to see I’m not the only one growing bored with the speed of things in the ‘dead’ silo. Just drain the water already…
At the start of this season I was so excited to understand more about this world. Except all I’ve learned about is the bends and how to decode a puzzle.
Mind-numbingly slow just like HOTD2
Show was so good at 1st now i cant even watch a whole ep without looking at my phone at something 😒
This thing of halving second season's budgets after establishing a loyal following is killing TV.
Common loves a role where he is required to wear a leather jacket and a turtle neck 😂
What were they thinking by focussing on silo 18 for so much of season 2? Viewers want to learn more about the outside world but they’re progressing that at a snail’s pace. They need to stop sending Juliette on a side quest every episode. It’s not exactly riveting to have an entire episode’s progress of hers be essentially getting rid of nitrogen from her blood.
exactly the intro was just her going up and down stairs
Her screen time consists of these 30 second bits then jumps back to silo 18 for another 10 minutes before we go back to Juliette doing fetch quests.
It's what the book does. Although they're still on book 1 and we're almost done with season 2. If they're only doing 2 more seasons I'm worried that they're going to rush through book 2 and 3 where a TON of stuff happens.
Hopefully they'll get a season 5 and not rush through everything, because spending half the series on book one is a waste.
@@vinyfiny I couldnt finish the book becuz it was moving too slow for me. *SPOILER WARNING* Did Juliette not contact Bernard like one or two chapters after entering the other silo?? I never got to the part where she encounters new people so is communication between silos cut out from the show or did i just forget how it goes?
Reading the comments I honestly have to worry about the lack of patience people have left these days.
You should really reduce consuming tik tok videos. Waiting for Episodes used to be normal, including "filler episodes" and all that stuff. It wont hurt your brain to use your imagination in between episodes or seasons. Or !god beware! grab a book and just read the original yourself if you really cant keep it together.
Its a valid complaint with the pacing. Season 1 was much better about feeding important answers each episode. Now every episode is like deja vu in S2
Although im not an actor myself, i find the presence of certain actors like Bernard’s and Julliette’s father very compelling. You can fill their presence on the screen while the others are quite lacking.
For me that didn’t read the book the show is really good. I don’t feel it is slow, it’s like any show, things are happening in every episode and making me ansious to the next one
me too. People are complaining that it's super slow but every episode seems so short to me and i'm always left in anticipation of the next episode. honestly, i started reading the books even.
Not slow to me. Rich character development and Robbins and Ferguson rock this show.
The pacing is horrendous 🤣
@@millalobo1456 you’re possibly the only person who thinks this. Good for you I guess!
I’ve been okay with the pacing but these last few episodes have been increasingly underwhelming. The episode cliff hangers that used to excite me are leaving me frustrated knowing another episode of stalling & repetitive storylines are to come
I think solo new about these people, no wonder why he was highly worried/paranoid about closing the vault. It adds up why he lied and never trusted julls
i dont understand how u guys even think hes dead they showed him walking in silo 18. i swear its him and no one even mentioned minute 18 of the episode when bernards shadown is talking to the relative he walks by. can u check it and tell me im not tripping PLEASE.
It's him 😂😂😂😂 at the 18-minute mark of episode 8, but the color blur is annoying-you can't see him clearly @@mrnima2001 man you can see the future
At the rate of this season is going GRRM will have finished The Winds of Winter
LMAO
Smh we needed this episode to be great
Shirley has already figured out that Walker has betrayed them as you could see it in her eyes. I was incredibly disappointed in Walker as no one person is greater than the lives of so many. On another note why are the three new comers in the Silo with Juliette so hell bent on having Juliette not succeed in draining or leaving the Silo? They must have figured by the now that the water level will quickly submerge the Silo killing them all.
They don't know who Juliette is or what she's doing. its just primitive survival
Another great breakdown! This season has been slow and not as entertaining as season 1 but i'm here for the ride.
I'm glad I've read the books, not been that impressed with season 2 but will continue to watch, love watching/reading all the theory's
The slowness of this season is unrivaled. Actually it is so disrespectful to the audience.
The show's moving at a snail pace the last few episodes. I think that's finally gonna change next episode, thank the lord.
I got so cheesed off with the slow pace I read the books!
My worry is the Lucas will open the doors to another Silo on the bottom level and it will be to Solo's silo and a bunch of water is gonna take him out (hopefully temporarily). In doing so the water level will lower and Juliette will tell the others she "fixed the pump" and so the they (which I think are classmates of Solo) will see the receding water and let her into the their entrance to the legacy and give her access to the suit. I hope Lucas survives. But I'm not sure if Bernard will be usurped by Lucas to become the true head of IT, or if someone like Sims or Camille or Mechanical or Lucas takes him out. I think the Legacy in their Silo will just let Sims use the Legacy or any other Head of any Department if they actually get access (it would be fun to see Knox ooooh and aaah over the tech of the Legacy). I think all the heads normally get access but when the last rebellion happened the new head of IT made it so only they had access. Maybe there wasn't a Mayoral Shadow (or also offed in rebellion) and the offed the Head of Mechanical so only IT had access to it and wrote the pact to ensure no more rebellions. I think it was new Head of IT and they probably just made a new Mayor without telling them about the Legacy. I don't buy that Salvador did the wipe and confiscation in the way Bernard says. I think it was Salvador who helped the rebellion. Either started it or allowed it to happen after their Leaders thought to stop rebellions they needed to erase the knowledge. Maybe something like Shadow of IT, Head of Judicial with Shadow, and Mayor on one side with Head of Mechanical with Shadow, Head of IT (Salvador) and Mayoral Shadow on the other. Shadow of IT erases records, Judicial takes books, and Mayor offed before new shadow is chosen since old shadow would have been removed as Shadow by the acting Mayor right after defection to prevent any unauthorized access. Salvador probably hid the message incase the records were all erased (their side lost) and Bernard is kinda fibbing who actually did the erasure since he was probably watching Lucas talking to the descendants and gave him some "secret info" that would help convince them to trust Lucas. I kinda want their Silo to just have a happy ending with Bernard gone, Lucas Head of IT, Sims Head of Judicial on board to protect his family, & Juliette arrives to become Mayor and their Silo must prepare for the reality that maybe they are the last one that is left that is functioning as intended.
I don't understand why the show drags so much while the books are so full of suspence and honestly many things like Juliette diving into freezing waters in S17 makes more sense. In the show, she was wearing almost nothing, in the book she needed a full suit with the helmet to not freeze. and other small important details like that. Books read so well and fun and as much as I appreciate the actors, the amazing sets in the show I am bored and tend to skip minutes
I have mot read the books but I agreed. The writers have gone too far with the slowness. If they just split every episode except the first one to focus on Silo 17 and 18 and cut out the filler everyone would've been happier
The Lucas and Juliette storylines are the only ones I care about 🙈 the rebellion feels so unimpressive not important
Bernard MUST know that by telling Lucas about the memory wiping water, it’s only a matter of time before that gets out Silo-wide
Either he plans on killing Lucas pretty quickly, before that happens, or he just doesn’t care and wants to watch this whole thing burn down around him
read the books this episode was awesome
How is it possible that the most important man in the silo work without a shadow for 25 years? not possible. one of many holes in the plot appearing in the second season which sadly doesn't rise to the briliancy of the first.
I just transcripts the code, it’s not complete but here’s the transcription ( I’m not sure if all letters are correct). “ our done is not a sanctuary but a trap. the fate of this silo is controlled by anotherone fitd the foyer to fill. everyone here is an (immtast or immtant) (reason or lesson)be dammed.if you don't believe me go to the very botton of the silo, tick the tunnel you fill get confirmation there.
Those teenagers who attacked Solo do have food since there are cats, rats, and dogs in the silo; that's why the bow and arrow are used. They were just like Solo, left behind in this silo. They looked younger than Solo because they were not the kids who got left behind; their parents were. Since they have very little education and don't have that birth control thing, they started to have their own children.
Seriously, I don't know what will happen next since the show changed so much from the book, and it has been going so slowly. They planned to do 4 seasons, and we're close to midway, but the show has only reached the second half of book 1. My guess is that they might skip most of book 2 since it is mostly a prequel to book 1, and Juliette barely exists in it; the production then only has to cover books 1 and 3.
OK, and what do those cats, rats and dogs eat, exactly?
Canned food?
Think it the show would lose a lot missing Shift. That is where you get the background of who built the silos, why they were built and if I am correct that is where you learn what the end game is.
@@vibovitold Good question, but I'm not trying to deduce who eats what in this story. I'm just bringing out what the author wrote; they (I mean people) even had conversations about whether they should eat puppies or not. And if I try to answer ur question, they eat whatever they can find, and they die when they can't find anything, then some other animals come and eat their corpses. But I'm sure the show can give us a better answer, such as since they are human, they can figure out how to farm at least a little, and go for a bit of hunting from time to time.
@@paininthepatoot I agree. If they do, they'd miss out a lot, but I just don't know how will they tell the whole thing in just 22 episodes without ending like GOT.

They think just because Juliette is near death every episode that we should be on the edge of our seats. This season is so boring and repetitive
I'm finding the entire pace is getting really slow. Waiting a week just to watch ppl get angry, or lost or never really get anything uncovered... hm... is this like a cliffhanger that never ends???
"Let's keep it interesting by never revealing anything until next season" lmao
I frekin hate weekly episode formats, this episode's ending had me screaming from cutting at that moment. one more frekin week to wonder the whole story of them kids.
Season 2 is a masterclass in turning a great show into an absolute joke. I came in hoping to dive deeper into the origins of the silo and learn what’s happening in other silos, but instead, we’re served a warmed-over mess of recycled rebellion plots and pointless scenes that go nowhere. It’s like they asked, “How can we make this as uninspired as possible?”
Juliette, the star of Season 1, is now practically a side character. She’s got maybe 20 minutes of screen time, and when she does show up, it’s for meaningless nonsense. Remember her epic water-dive sequence? First, she dives into the water-cut. Then she comes out of the water-cut. Then she finds blood-cut. Wow, edge-of-your-seat storytelling there! Whahahah, who thought that was a good idea? And Solo? He’s devolved into the human equivalent of background noise.
The only character I’m remotely enjoying now is Bernard. He’s the only one left who feels like he has some depth or purpose. Simmons was a favorite too-once. Now, he’s been reduced to a bitter, resentful detective whose only ambition is to be Bernard’s shadow. And guess what? He does nothing either! It’s like they decided to neuter every compelling character and leave us with a cast of aimless extras.
And let’s talk about the tragic attempts at inclusivity. It’s painfully obvious and hilariously overdone. Everyone in the silo seems to have a black wife or husband. Whahahaha, even Juliette’s love interests are all Indian! All the sheriffs are black now too-except Juliette. Did the writers have a checklist for this? It’s so forced it’s distracting. Representation is great, but when it’s shoved down our throats this blatantly, it feels like a parody of itself.
With two episodes left, it’s clear this season is a disaster. Either they’ll rush everything into a chaotic finale or leave us with yet another cliffhanger-probably Juliette and Lukas finally talking on the phone. Lukas and Juliette haven’t even entered the vault yet, by the way, so I’m guessing they’re still working on their lines. This season is such a mess that I wouldn’t be surprised if the finale is just Bernard sipping tea while the rest of the cast stares at walls.
Season 2 is a tragic downfall. The pacing is horrible, the characters have been gutted, and the story is going nowhere. Save yourself the pain and skip it unless you enjoy watching a show collapse under its own bad decisions.
Nice way to sandwich your racism in between thoughtful analysis. Do you regularly make a spreadsheet to track the ethnicity of all the characters in the shows you watch to ensure that the ratio of all the white folk to colored conform to MAGA standards?
I enjoy the slow burn but this show has been painful to watch. One could easily imagine the end of season 2 with Juliette at the gates of silo 18 holding a towel.
No wonder the IMDB ratings have been absolute disaster for S02
They spent the whole season in charater development of Juliette on how good she is at fixing things like the water pump, seriously dude what the actual fuck viewers knew that she is good at fixing things from S1 e03 on when she fixed the generator.
Forcing inclusivity in dystopian sci-fi series, Get the fuck out
Can you break down Common’s terrible acting?
This season has the pace of a season of LOST minus insane cliffhangers and flashbacks
When walker gave Bernard the 🖕 to the camera, made me chuckle 🤣
This isn’t a show, it’s a jobs program for side characters.
Where the hell have the people been hiding this whole season in silo 18?!
I love cliffhangers so f’ing much, how they show Juliette getting attacked and shot revealing there are other survivors, then not actually showing them until the end of the episode.
love going from Juliette getting shot with an arrow, now we’re gunna jump to Simm’s wife and annoying Judicial raider guy. fast forward Now with only 4 minutes left of the episode we’re gunna go back to Juliette and the mystery of the other survivors responsible for sabotaging the diving gear, attacking solo and shooting Juliette, are a bunch of teenagers, only to have the episode end.
Bro out of curiosity, been following you for 3 months now, what's the deal with the outro "daddy loves you very much" is it from some game or movie?
😂
Been watching this dude since Watchmen series on HBO and he has said it in every video since then. I have yet to figure out wtf it means.
Silo and From exhausted me this year
And i was eagerly waiting for these 2 shows
Hopefully and just hopefully Severance doesn't pull off the same shit
RANDOM Q: why does everyone sent outside (usually) ‘clean’? Are we supposed to believe that cleaners think the only reason people in the silo can’t see the suddenly perfect, VR-generated scene they’re now looking at is because of a little schmutz on the silo camera? I’ve never understood that part of the story. And because this season is so slow, my mind is starting to wander onto these little inconsistencies. Daddy loves you very much.
They can build a huge silo to keep thousands of people alive but they couldn’t put a windshield wiper on the outside camera?
The 'bends' happens when the air is in compressed form like in a scuba tank. Her air was pumped down and not compressed so how could she get the bends? Rapid assent would not matter...
Incorrect
Silo, the only show where you don't see the main character.
Bernard carries the show this season otherwise its slow i just wish they could have dropped the entire series at once
I literally just said they can’t keep doing a season per silo… they mentioned 15,16 & we literally just spent one whole season in a walking dead silo. The pacing for S3 has to cover a lot of ground because I’m done after that.
This episode really had 10min worth of actual substance in it: the mayor produced a mole in mechanical, Julia got shot by an arrow from survivors in silo 17. That's it! Not even Quinn's message actually got revealed. " ... the game is rigged.." is a useless message to the viewer and didn't move the plot since we all knew that. It's freaking crazy!
I didnt get a notification but this episode was awesome
I am confused about the cryptic message from Quinn. Before this episode was aired, someone on the Internet was able to decode the message correctly without knowing the primer which is Quinn’s The Pact book. How is this possible?
They could of read the books
I'm wondering if the bow and arrow girl and her friends found a secret passage from another silo. Or perhaps they are drilling sideways from one silo to the next? They definitely seem like scavengers.
Walker! She traded one person for the entire Mechanical community. There better be a long game she’s running here!!! 😡😡😡
The story is really cool and they made a very good work in building misteries and tension. However the fact that it release an episode a week is making it perceive slower than it actually is, because a week wait for little progress is exhausting. I really like all the stories in the main silo, for the other silo is going a little too slow and they should have shown more of the secrets of the silo in solo bunker instead of just by Bernard. But I’ve got so hunger for answers that i spoiled myself
Juliet in that silo is giving daemon in that damn castle
My fav Think story notification is : “Uploaded 24 seconds ago”
not very often u can just outread the pace of a tv show
The television series has garnered my appreciation; however, I have several concerns regarding its pacing. It appears that the creators are deliberately extending the narrative to provide background information without disclosing too much of the plot. As noted by other viewers, dedicating an entire season to exploring backstories and interpersonal relationships seems excessive. Additionally, when considering the implications of radiation, it is important to differentiate between ground bursts and air bursts, as well as the number of nuclear detonations. The residual radiation from such events could persist for approximately 20 to 40 years. Therefore, if the characters have been underground for over 300 years, it is reasonable to conclude that radiation levels would be negligible. Moreover, the groundwater over the span of 335 years would likely have been contaminated, resulting in lethal consequences for anyone residing underground.
this speed? they need 10 seasons LMFAO
This season has been slow….lets hope the next to episodes are better
love this show but its getting a little too slow for me. Nothing is happening
Martha is so insufferable! If she really cared for her ex she would've stayed with her. I feel like I could've skipped 5-8 and wouln't have missed a thing! I hope this is the last of filler episodes and we see some change
At this rate apparently they will be stretching Wool to 3 seasons. That seems a bit much and the cause for the dragging pace. Or episode 10 will be a speed run of wrapping up that book, which looks doubtful.
I’ve really enjoyed the way the show has fleshed out and enriched so much of the book - which proceeds at an extremely brisk pace in comparison. It has really elaborated on the lore. Unfortunately all the benefit of this has been towards the silo 18 side of story, which has necessitated dragging out the silo 17 part of the book to ensure the timeline matches. Silo 17 is by far the most compelling and mysterious part of the story, and dragging this out is very frustrating. It was a bit of a fail on the writers.
Tq for your info bout Apple tv is free!!!!❤❤❤❤
5:30 the letter's arent the same cause it's a book cipher, not a simple 1-1 replacement.
Some really good casting by the show a show like this would fall flat if it did not have the actors
What about Juliette and Lukas' contact via monitors hidden in the silo 17 and 18 vault?
