Wow…. He’s been there WAY longer than a decade. He was a child when the silo fell and ALL interactions with anyone after that resulted in death or injury therefore he literally had no concept of attraction only fear when it comes to ppl.
I love watching people try to figure out what’s happening. I can relive reading this masterpiece like the first time, which I would give so much to do again. Just shows the talent behind Hugh Howey’s writing. I’m so excited for you when you see how it all comes together!!!
What if someone just started to read the book. Would it be surprising that this someone wants to speculate about the story instead of just skipping to the end? Same here:)
Silo17 definitely has air because Juliette lives. The Server Room is so much important to the global management of the Silo's, so the power must be coming from somewhere else possibly a centralized generator that supports all of the Silo's. So they are up and running and also linked no matter what. The food however, is actually a mystery. it might indicate that there's a food delivery tunnel that connects Silo's to a centralized kitchen?😂 Maybe that's why the Vault must not be breached by anyone at any cost.
Juliette had to go through the air lock and closed the inside door behind herself. There are agriculture levels every so often. One still working, and reseeding itself, would provide enough air for Solo and Juliette because plants breathe carbon dioxide in and exhale oxygen
@Larry_Canonica my understanding from reading the books is that the silos were spread farther apart. My memory could be faulty but I believe it was written that when Juliette made it to the top of the hill she could barely make out what she assumed where other hills in the distance. The miners were told that they were only allowed to dig out so far/at a certain angle or they could hit ground water and flood the silo.
it's not because of their role at mechanical...it's because of their power and curiosity. If any revolt that can work must rise, it will be from mechanical 100% of the time. They're the only one with the will and capacity to do it, but they're also the most vulnerable and have the most to lose. They can create a revolt because they are close to the other classes (except upper) and help them out or have family like ties, but it's also their flaw. Blame mechanical, turn their family against them, they can't move and won't try to do something crazy for fear they'll hurt someone close. But if you let them take the initiative, they can turn everyone through their Bacon connections like in a game of otello.
I noticed the distinction made between the older dead outside the silo and the newer dead inside the silo. This maybe foreshadowing a poison cleansing/reset by silo 1 after the revolt/exodus.
I absolutely agree with you that power comes from somewhere else, and mechanical is just not important at all. That’s why we can blame them all day long. The reason is that Juliet is now in Silo 17, and as we know, all the levels there are flooded. The mechanical level with the engine is underwater, nobody is there, and the engine is not working. So where does the power come from? Solo has electricity, as do many other parts of the silo. We’ve seen lamps flickering and other signs of power. My guess is that mechanical doesn’t matter at all. It’s just a way of controlling people. Like in every country, there is a lower class forced to do hard, terrible jobs. The only way they stay there and work so hard is because they believe that everyone depends on them. Without them, there would be no power and no life
It's the "backup" power supply. They used that when Mechanical had to shut the generator off for Jules to fix it. They still had air and a low level of lights.
Yeah the IT servers should not go dark so the power might not be from batteries but coming from somewhere else? Because batteries would have worn out after these years.
I think that video Judge Medows was watching is of her past as a child before going into the Silo. That makes her one of the Founders. She may know where the outside toxic boundaries are.
She can't be. the Silo's are much older than that. Judge Medows is at her fifties atmost but the first rebellion just happended 140 years before the series timeline.
@@sharonhodkinson2011This is something else and sounds right because the toxic outside can be a dust (like Solo mentioned) that needs a little bit of wind to be effective. so there might be boundaries and IT heads and shadows are informed about.
George said the water wasn't an issue to get to the steel door. Maybe she can figure it out and use it from Silo 17. What's going to trigger her to take this route as opposed to going outside?
I haven't read the books. I suspect Silos 17 and 18 are the only Silos left. Otherwise, more people would have reached out to Silo 18. The only way for Juliet to go back home is via the tunnel, because the series has too many hints to the famous door. And Juliet owes Lukas. She needs to rescue him from the mines, which we haven't seen at all. Somehow, she goes into the server room where she can finally find the door to the tunnel that leads to the mines of her Silo.
All names have meaning. We don't typically translate them when used in English, though. We just use the loaned word. Take Juliette, for example. In French it means young or downy
I hope wi'll get back to that caffeteria guy that kissed Juliette and was send to mines. Seems like a waste of character 😅 to introduce him like that just for him to be send away and never come back
@@MF-ty2zn1 She's not, there are multiple babies on those films, different peoples. It's just might be she thinking about HAVING BABIES of her own. and she can't for some reson.
Before the people of 17 could go outside they had to bypass the airlock opening electronics. (Maybe only IT had the power and authority to open it under normal circumstances.) But by doing this they may have inadvertently bypassed the argon gas meant to purge the airlock (or something). Anyway, the fact that they lasted for so long outside and managed to disperse a little, might suggest that that gas is something other than inert?!???
It is curious that so many of the Order's plans involve provoking the very rebellion they claim to fear. Why even lie to the cleaners about the outside being safe, if the point is to convince the people that it is dangerous? And as you correctly point out, why pick on Mechanical? Why respond so violently so quickly? I wonder if the designers wouldn't prefer a fatal rebellion to the inhabitants finding out the truth of other silos and trying to compare notes with them. It's clear that this whole society has been designed purposefully. This also raises the question of history and timeline, which I don't think is at all reliable. The rebellion, if there was one, was 140 years ago, but the cleaning video was 300 years old, according to Bernard. But with the memory erasing drug, it could be either more or less than that.
About the timeline being short, How could they insert someone into the silo? obviously they can make someone forget his/her past and how it feels to be outside. But what about other silo residents that are going to interact with the inserted person? Can they inplant memories about the inserted person? Let's put it this way, how a 40yo person get's inserted to the silo and knows where s/he lives and what s/he does and neighborhood knows it too?
@@MaybeBecause-m8t Certainly we have not seen anything to indicate that that could be done. It could be that all the Silo residents were memory wiped at the start, but I agree it would be difficult to insert someone afterward. Even the wipe they give Patrick could cause problems. If he loses 22 years, then presumably other people will remember events with him more recently, and he won't. One person being forgetful wouldn't be enough to create suspicion, but it shows the limits of what we know, so far, they can do. Actually thinking about it now... what if the Syndrome is evidence of a memory wipe wearing off? And that's why the Pact says they cannot be in a position of power, because if they got their memory back while in office they could blow everything open, rather than being dealt with as a nutcase from the lower levels. That's all baseless speculation, we have no information that the drug can wear off, or anything else about it.
Gloria Hildebrand's dream when she was drugged out was the video the Judge was watching in her room. Gloria probably owned the box and when she was captured the judge claimed it.
I don't see them using the tunnel. At least not yet. So how does she get back into the silo? She literally walks up and waves at the camera. Then the powers that be don't have a choice but to let her back in.
What secret would make them Keep everyone in the dark? I also think Solo killed the people with poison and when he tested Juliette with the food, he knew she was Real and not just trying to get inside.
The one thing this reminds me of is a Stargate episode where some people where similarly hiding underground after poisoning their own atmosphere in a war. Maybe the big secret is that these are the people, or the descendants of the people, who perpetrated an immense atrocity, and they want to erase their guilt. As for Solo and the food, we now have to consider the possibility that the forgetting drug was in it.
I love the atmosphere in ep.1 (Alice in Wonderland) and glad to see that this atmosphere came back in episode 3. (ep.2 was junk). In Japanese anime, their version of Alice would usually be sexually abused by the hentai guy or the monsters in the wonderland. In ep.3, they implied that Solo is likely a hentai guy so... it is going to happen on Alice..... which is what I have been expecting to see in this series.
Why Mechanical? Likely because they are viewed as lower in the social order, blue-collar workers with less formal education, making them easier to manipulate and undermine. In the worst case, easier to appease with minimal concessions from leadership.
Dude, you don't know how radiation works, huh? The ground is radiated, the sand.. everything.. so when the wind blows, the radiated layer gets disturbed and the wind will carry it around. Walking on radiated ground is also enough to "dust up" the radiated layers on top. If you want some insight into this series and the consequences of fallout, you might want to look up Chernobyl..
Remember when George (in his video to Jules) said the water turns out to not be a problem? That's how he found the door. So there must be a way to pump the water out or something. He knew something but didn't have time to tell her.
Solo was the head of IT shadow, so his age fits being in his 30s when Russel put him in the vault 25 years ago. And I believe the people outside the vault door was his family members, unfortunately un-alived by survivors. Curious to when we will meet them in silo 17, because someone cut the rope and it was not solo.

Ohh thank you so much! And thank you for not spoiling anything!
1. Thank you for no recap.
2. Thanks for calling people out for spoilers
Honestly surprised people want to speculate on the story for this show at all since the story is already known.
What if someone just started to read the book. Would it be surprising that this someone wants to speculate about the story instead of just skipping to the end? Same here:)
@@geekademy Some people do. Sometimes you want to know the end, roughly, before investing in a book.
Thanks for the content.
Happy Thanksgiving to my American friends.
I am with you. I long suspected that they were lying about the timeline. 12:41
I’m amazed no one is talking about the fact one guy is living alone with food n electricity while the silo is opened with no air nor generator.
Silo17 definitely has air because Juliette lives.
The Server Room is so much important to the global management of the Silo's, so the power must be coming from somewhere else possibly a centralized generator that supports all of the Silo's. So they are up and running and also linked no matter what.
The food however, is actually a mystery. it might indicate that there's a food delivery tunnel that connects Silo's to a centralized kitchen?😂 Maybe that's why the Vault must not be breached by anyone at any cost.
@@TheMetalMag Now I saw another option for food. Cannibalism! just think about it.
Juliette had to go through the air lock and closed the inside door behind herself. There are agriculture levels every so often. One still working, and reseeding itself, would provide enough air for Solo and Juliette because plants breathe carbon dioxide in and exhale oxygen
AHHHHH YAY IM SO EXCITED YOU ARE COVERING SILO!!! I watched all of your from and now the party can keep going!!!!!!
Yey! Welcome back’
Solo is also a shortened form of Solomon
14:12 subtitles killed me. “Where did you get the goons” 😂
I love how you say Sheriff, Apocalyptic, Provocation and History
The eye is the eye of Solo. Someone else had seen him through the little window in the vault door.
I want to l know how they mine with silos so close together. We're pretty sure they can't dig down because that's where the giant digging tool lives.
Right question
Interesting question
@Larry_Canonica my understanding from reading the books is that the silos were spread farther apart. My memory could be faulty but I believe it was written that when Juliette made it to the top of the hill she could barely make out what she assumed where other hills in the distance. The miners were told that they were only allowed to dig out so far/at a certain angle or they could hit ground water and flood the silo.

Mechanical are the only dept that can shut the silo down. They have more power than even IT even they wish to weild it.
grazie per i tuoi video di spiegazioni... Greetings from Italy

IT seems to have the electricity. The rest is partically dark except where they needed the light for shooting the series
It's the "backup" power supply. They used that when Mechanical had to shut the generator off for Jules to fix it. They still had air and a low level of lights.

I think the eyes are made to represent the idea that “big brother” is watching. The singular eye also kinda reminds me of the Eye of Providence.
@@Within_Cells_Interlinked No, it must be the Eye of Sauron and the two series will eventually merge.
Thank you and nice work 👍

I didn't notice that you are covering this show. It would be cool if you put a link in the description for the different parts.
When can we expect episode 4? You know we can't wait for it😂
God willing - today!:)
I hope wi'll get back to that caffeteria guy that kissed Juliette and was send to mines. Seems like a waste of character 😅 to introduce him like that just for him to be send away and never come back
140 years ago something happened according to the pact, so unless it's a lie, then she can't be watching her birthday as a baby.
@@MF-ty2zn1 She's not, there are multiple babies on those films, different peoples. It's just might be she thinking about HAVING BABIES of her own. and she can't for some reson.
Do the 50 silos represent the 50 states?
my theory is that solo released a poison gas and thats why the bodies are by the fan - they were trying to get fresh(er) air.
Before the people of 17 could go outside they had to bypass the airlock opening electronics. (Maybe only IT had the power and authority to open it under normal circumstances.) But by doing this they may have inadvertently bypassed the argon gas meant to purge the airlock (or something). Anyway, the fact that they lasted for so long outside and managed to disperse a little, might suggest that that gas is something other than inert?!???
The people in SILO 17 went over the hill without any suit, woow

But the silo is flooded in 17, severely. So how will she access the tunnel?
Dive
@@geekademy She doesn't know how to swim. And opening the doors will flood 18

@ Yes, I do…🤣👌🏻
iye is the cam
Solo's real name is Jimmy "Solo" Parker per the book Wool...
Tunnel doesn’t make much sense. If there were 4 tunnels they could lead to closest silos but connecting to only one silo… no
Solo is a snake
oh, jim

How do you know it's radiation?
She can’t swim though. She has to swim to get into tunnels.
You can learn to swin pretty damn quick if you have access to a pool like Juliette does.

Yeah he’s hiding something just like Tilly in From👎 please stop
