I just read the first Silo book, and the TV show is actually a lot better. The TV series adds more characters and subplots, lot more subtext in all character interactions, and it makes the characters much more nuanced. Bernard in the books, for example, comes across as a mustache twirling villain almost immediately. He has much less interaction with Jules, and removes her from the Sheriff position right after he takes power. The parts where he works with Jules and even helps her as the Sheriff are unique to the show. Jules's backstory and motivations are also more fleshed out in the TV series, and that makes her choices and actions seem more logical and relatable. The show writers are really doing an amazing job!
Recommend the book or just wait for s2?
Read all the books.
Tim Robbins also played a main character in the movie "City of Ember". Also set in an underground post apocalyptic city that has forgotten its past and is cut off from the surface, and with a failing energy grid. There he plays as a good guy that is that movie's version of a flame keeper. It was a delightfully jarring shock to see him in such a dark role reversal in the similar setting of "Silo". The man is indeed versatile and a top notch actor who also sells it and gives it his all :)
Good choice! I completely forgot about "City of ember". I'd say top ten performance for Robbins in that one. It never really registered just how many good films he's been in until I started working on this one. He's been at it for a while now.
Silo totally remind me of city of ember !
I’m happy to see Tim in a new big role. Haven’t seen him in a while and he’s one of my favorite actors.
I just watched Silo within the past month or two and I’m listening to the audiobook. I’m that obsessed. Thanks for more Silo content. It will hopefully get me through until the next season of Severance!
I hear they are a great read. I want to read the books, something fierce but I can't spoil it for myself as I make these videos lol
@@nautilusfiles I have no self control. I had to find out what happened. 😂
Silo is replete with incredible actors playing enigmatic characters who are almost universally complete and utter bastards in one way or another.
It IS interesting that even Jules is sort of an asshole George was a user. The original Mayor was effete, the deputy was a brutal jerk. I think Allison & Holston were pretty cool, but....pretty dead, too.
@@BigDLisGrippin I think the story is intended to compel us to consider their environment as a character that causes asshol-ery in everyone. but that's just one based bastard's opinion.
He's not A good guy, but he's THE good guy. Hes clearly right about the outside world and in trying to keep people from leaving the Silo
The drinking was the clue he was in on her murder. Tainted bottled killed he but he has no worried about drinking her stash?
I love your breakdown of the theories, a lot there that I hadn't even considered. Silo has infected me with some kind of mind worm!
I enjoy your videos. I love this show, just finished watching it for the second time. Also listening to the book when I drive back and forth to work. Great voice by the way.
Happy Holidays, Nautilus. I believe he might like the "Power" of being the Mayor. I think that's because now he has the ability (perhaps) to create Order. The booze is a bonus. Bernard has an ordered mind, and demands order. I agree that he's a cog.
The 18 key suggests that they are in a community that only he, of the inhabitants of the Silo, knows about. Is it organized around a council of equals? Or is it organized around a central figure that we still haven't seen?
Is Bernard a villain? He's definitely an antagonist, and has been shown to be ruthless, but it doesn't necessarily mean he's a "Nyah AH AH!" moustache twirling villain. I think we need more perspective to tell. Common is just trying to do the job he was given. I don't know if he's a villain either.
Yes. I agree. Bernard is very complex character. I do not think that he is an outright villain of the show. He is definitely the main antagonist, though serving the citizens of the silo or so he thinks. There is more to him which will be more explored in season 2.
Hudsucker Proxy!
Bull Durham!
Agreed about Jacob's Ladder, just surprised you know it.
So, I totally didn't recognize him.
I think he's been Peter Principled into position and is hanging by a thread.
Which makes him extremely dangerous, cuz unpredictable.
Does our silo have the only vegetation?
I can't see well enough.
C'mon season 2!
I read a theory somewhere that says that when a silo "messes up" they get wiped. This falls under the "experiment" category of larger theories but if it's true, it would justify his anxieties. I'm still not convinced that the outside world is truly the problem they make it out to be, so the idea that he is on thin ice is really interesting to consider.
He shows the tape of George to remind her of the conspiracy theory he was onto that the outside was safe. It was the hope that the outside was safe that caused Allison to go out. They needed someone to clean now and then to keep the others under control and cooperating.
great analysis! Thanks for showing the actor in other roles too, I wouldn't have made the connection :)
Hey, thanks! The man's got quite the resume. Glad you liked it!
I think the sheriffs badge outside had something to do with the display turning off ir her being able to cross the boundary. Remember she almost bumped into something.
Woo-hoo! Time to dive deep
Bender as god. Nice touch.
happy holidays!!
Thanks, smooveayy. Same to you!
I think the hard drive came from the server room at some point probably before benard... maybe from a nosy wife of a predecessor or someone who found out about the server room and took it without anyone knowing about... maybe even before the rebellion... Hard to say considering they were able to access it using the old PCs and still able to track it when connected from the janitorial closet... Not sure how easy that would be to use a modern system to track a device thru dial up, but hey, welcome to post apocalyptic sci fi...😉
Sims does the dirty work. Cry me a small violin.
He's the real hero of the story.
The drinking seemed odd given she died of tainted bottles.
Bernard is the good guy
He is saving 10,000 people.
I think the silo is supposed to have a facade of leadership (in the form of the Mayor, the Sheriff, and the head of Judicial), to give the people the illusion of choice and some measure of control over their leaders, but Bernard, as the head of I.T., is the person actually in control. However, his control is meant to be *_covert_* , so he only steps in as Mayor *_temporarily_* until a new Mayor can be chosen. The Mayor is *_supposed_* to be a figurehead for the people, while the head of I.T. quietly pulls everyone's strings in the background.
But I think Bernard is tired of acting inconspicuous and only working behind the scenes. I think he's enjoying the perks of being Mayor too, and openly exercising power himself instead of manipulating others. I have a hunch that S2 might have Bernard deciding to stay in the Mayor's role, and that choice doesn't go over well with the leaders of other silos. We might get a chance to see how the "network" of silo bosses reacts when one of their number "goes rogue"... 🤔
They have got to produce seasons closer together. Or people will lose interest.
Ngl... I already had a hunch the greenery they saw through that mask was fake the second they showed the recorded video of one of the cleaners. It was always the same group of birds and the grass and everything looked kinda artificial to me. But maybe it's just me (I mean about the birds and everything) but it just seemed that they're playing the same tape over and over again.
Can you do dark next
I don’t know how he can send that guy to the mines ten years. The sheriff asked him about it. Not just anyone. Isn’t she the law? Would that not be a part of an investigation. The sheriff can investigate for 24 hours before handing it over. I did find her I’m the sheriff I can do anything and have access to anything a bit over the top.
What was confirmed in the AMA? That he was surprised she knew about it?
It's confirmed that he didn't know about the door. That was the first time he heard about it.
Bernard is the anti Andy Dufresne
Great video @nautilusfiles !
18 maybe the number of the silo
I bet the door connects between silo's and I'm guessing 18 is their silo number
Yeah that’s what I thought too. Or at least a room to communicate to the other silos
Maybe Bernard knows way way too much just watch the end of season 1
Noooo, he's a BADDDD guy!!!!
Holland is not wrong.
i wouldn't be surprised if a handful of other silos have fallen into pure nightmare fuel
