Liked it a lot. Lukas story in the show is better than book Lukas at this point. Very interested to see where that goes next week
really liked ep9 wtf is that AI or some lead Silo communicating with Lukas? if it's a major spoiler just assume it's a rhetorical question
the mayor explaining and saying there were 51 silos and that the one Jules went to was dead, makes me think it was a person, BUT the voice said he spoke to those people in the past so maybe it’s a computer or just a different person watching? Idk, but this episode redeemed the season. Not that it was bad, but it just kind of slogged along last handful of episodes
Agree 1000%. Also really enjoyed the extra exposition for the kids backgrounds in Silo 17. Also thought the reveal for who Solo really is was done very well too. Hoping this pace/storytelling quality continues in the next episode
Only beef I have with the episode is the water level by the tunnel. In the first season Juliet tried the same thing after George died and the water level was much deeper to the point Juliet gave up
She didn't go in though did she? I thought her only panic water moment in Season 1 was when they were fixing the main generator. Lukas didn't know how low the water was when he went down he was just blindly hoping it was. I thought when Juliette went down there in S1 she abandoned the plan midway down the rope.
Imma gonna have to go back and look because I was laboring under the belief she got in the water. Couple coworkers thought so too
You're right. Her initial descent down the rope just foreshadowed her general fear of water/being under water. She did not actually jump into the water off the rope.
Last two episodes were what I expect for this show. Love that they ended with an intro to Shift. Hope we get a lot of prequel content
Just finished finale. Major plot points hit and I’m hoping season 3 is all shift. Great last couple episodes I like the actor they chose for who I presume was Donald (since he did meet Helen at the Diner)
Guessing that senator and girl fall in love. US retaliates against the dirty bomb. Nuclear war destroys planet. The silos are a secret shelter built to house government and vips. He gets in with her because he’s a senator. Someone in the show is a descendant of them. Pez is a family heirloom
Great finale. Season started a little slow but ended well. Looking forward to next season. I read Wool years ands ago before the sequels were out but never went back and finished the series. I probably will before the next season premiere.
After Ep 8 most of the people I knew were struggling to keep interest Since the finale I've had 3 people ask if it's cool if they borrow my books to read them Funny how that works when they tell more of the original story and not a hodgepodge rewritten version
season ended very strong. I know people already know what happens so I'm not going to try to hypothesize, but really interested in what the AI is and what it told Lukas. jumping back into the past should be cool, but I hope it leads to more answers than questions.
wait, is it certain that is AI and not some observer based on the show? If this is book stuff you may want to delete.
gotcha, I didn't think that was entirely clear because Bernard was completely despondent over what he does having no importance, because someone or something was ultimately calling the shots.
May need to rewatch the final scene of Ep 9 and the finale. They explained what the AI told Lukas = The Safeguard Procedure. Solo goes into it a little with Jules and then Jules and Bernard discuss it briefly before the fire
Imagine doing all kinds of fucked up stuff (like killing someone you have feelings for) "to protect the silo" for ~30 years and then someone tells you that someone or something could trigger a poison gas to release in that silo and kill everyone in it within minutes. Made Bernard stop giving a f Made Judge Meadows "disappear for several days" and then become an moping alcoholic for 25 years Also explains why Judge Meadows wanted a suit to go outside once she heard Jules walked over the hill and didn't die. I'd want out of that poison gas death trap ASAP
Also in Lukas's convo with Sims in his mom's apartment, he mentioned that Bernard thought everything was okay because his keychain with #18 wasn't lighting up, but the AI told him that it most definitely was not okay and it was "too late it's over" implying that the silo being gassed with poison was about to happen soon due to the rebellion
There was also a convo with Solo and Jules earlier in the season (plus the one in the finale in his apartment) talking about how and when the people in his silo died during the rebellion that sheds some light on the Safeguard. IIRC he said it went off when they got to the air lock and opened it to go outside but his parents had fixed the gas pipe back then and saved them from the poison. By the time Bernard got the news about all this from Lukas, and nobody knew Jules would show up on the screen and stop them from opening the door, the down deep folk were on their way up to open that airlock and go out. So Bernard's actions were those of someone who thought the Safeguard was going to occur within a few hours. Probably why he also snatched a suit and tried to GTFO while blocking the rebels from getting to the airlock before he could
Admittedly would have been hard to follow as a viewer that hadn't read the books because of all the fluff worthless conversations in this season. If you could just watch every Lukas and Solo scene from Season 2 spliced together... it'd be really informative
I guess there's also a big difference between "the silo could be gassed" and "the silo is getting gassed".
