Well paced episode. Too funny Juliette has a side quest to fix the pump before she gets the suit.

(It's probably not a side quest and new options will open up if the water lowers, but it's funny to think of it that way.)

Although I will admit that Juliette's storyline reminds me of a point and click adventure game (do they still make those?) with her solving puzzles and gathering resources to make her suit.

It's a trope called a "fetch quest" common in video games, also used in lieu of a decent plot in the last Star Wars movie.

Funniest part of that episode.

Director was like, show Juliet at the end just so they know she's still here.

They set it up so that next episode will be all about Juliette fixing that pump and we won't get any insight on the actually interesting part of the season which is the brewing revolution

Maybe they stay at the revolution.

In the last episode they showed she was sick and the infected arm. And in this one just needed 1 minute for Solo to say she's all better bc he made antibiotics and fixed her all up.

Next week they can just show her for 1 minute at the end after fixing the pump for Solo.

Set to Technotronic's (yes I had to look it up) Pump up the Jam.

Ah, yes, the national anthem of Canada. Fun fact: Pump Up the Jam was played five times in a row at director Stanley Kubrick's funeral.

Starting Season 2 but came here to complain about the 'heat-tape' plot point from Season 1.

Complain about what, specifically?

Presumably they're doing it so it shows that time is advancing in both places but I kinda wish they'd have stopped her story when she found Solo and then just advanced the Silo plot until wherever it ends and then had a whole episode catching Juliette up to that point.

Would have made it seem less side questy.

Worst complaining ever.


I can do the same. I just started the upcoming week, but came here to complain about the weather from last December. On a positive, I intend to stick with the week regardless of last year's outcome. I might even stick with it into next season, but intend to give an update regarding this year at the end of 2025. I just hope that the weather doesnt make me question something that might need to be addressed whenever the following season starts.

Midway through S2E1 and the heat-tape is a distant memory.

I'm over it now.

S2 got traction right off the bat.

Yet another show bailed out on a few years a go but now giving a second chance.

Thinking the silos are run by some AI type of thing. Not a book reader so just guessing

I like to read and I'd just be guessing too at this point.

Just one question. Why did Bernard smash the hard drive by saying it was a relic? Seems he could have just put in the vault with all the other relics.

Can someone explain what happened at the end with Juliet? It's so dark I can't even tell what's going on

The air supply hose was cut. So she had to get to the surface for air. Now the question is what happened. The assumption is that Solo possibly did something to the hose.

Got it, that's what I assumed but just wanted to make sure

She also saw a trail of blood and a hatchet from where Solo was which should solidify the theory that there is someone else in the silo who has been watching them

Gotta be. Somebody cut the rope in Ep 1 and it wasn't Solo.

Or Solo has multiple personality disorder. That would fit his behavior so far.

First truly good, start-to-finish thrilling episode of the season, IMO. Finally.

It's a thought, but I think that was an arrow laying next to one of the pools of blood.

Fun episode! Starting to get some Legacy lore.

The greatest trick this show has pulled is casting Tim Robbins against type, basically turning him into the warden from Shawshank, and making me hate his character nearly as much (in a great way).

Solid episode tonight, but I'm at the point where I just fundamentally dislike the primary conceit of the season, with Juliet separated from everyone else. I realize that's the nature of the story, and that they're literally going by the book, but what's turning out to be an entire season with her stuck in the other silo, and cutting to her for what feels like only a minute if not sometime seconds at a time, has simply gotten so incredibly old IMO. I'm glad some other characters have finally joined her, though, and we're hopefully finally moving forward in that regard (as opposed to Juliet merely needing to complete task after task and literally tread water), I just wish that would have happened three or four episodes ago.

Oh, well.

Two episodes to go, and at least we have some legit momentum now.

It's so dark that at least a couple times an episode we can't see at all what's happening. At the end of e7 we had to rewind twice and then pause to try and see.

I've said it a few times, but splitting up book 1 into two seasons this long was a bad idea. It would have been good at ~13 episodes total to cover the entire first book.

I tuned out for a few episodes but will happily pick it up again. The latest episode is the good one?

I"m not reading this thread, i've yet to start season 2. how does this season compare? Is it worth starting?
