Silo Seasom 1 Finale Discussion

Reply in thread

I'm willing to bet that the big door at the bottom is access to the other silos.

I'm also quite sure that Holston is probably dead. Along with everyone else, that went outside.

I had this thought last night, after seeing the finale. What if the other silos are open to each other, and only Silo 18 (I'm guessing it the number based on the key to the mainframe having number 18 on it) is closed off / isolated? Maybe because of it being the origin of the rebellion? As some sort of sanction. Or maybe to contain The Syndrome - whatever that even is.

I know it's far fetched. But who knows? (Other than the millions of people who've read the books, of cause ;-))

The strike wasn't the only problem though. There's apparently been quite some trouble between the show runner and head writer, I believe, that delayed the production even before the strike.

Really hoping it doesn't show in the final product. Season 2 of Severance is my most anticipated seasons of a TV show for years.

A rant about quick time events

Exactly!

What? Is it supposed to make me feel powerful that I can smash a button a gazillion times to hold back a train from falling off the rails? Just so it as a cinematic - I don't need to be involved in every little thing!

That's funny. I though the same thing too! Poison in the respirators, and the tape switch was to get a worse seal to give her time to get out of the suit. There i was, saying "come on, get it off!" right up until the birds came flying...

I had it all backwards 😂

What are you playing this week? - Week of July 3rd

Yeah Miles Morales was great. Just too short and had me wanting more (again). That's part of the reason why I'm thinking about paying the small price to upgrade my Spider-Man to ps5 :-)

I also quite like Watch Dogs 2. Legion felt kind of lackluster. I see both what they tried to do and why. But it felt too disconnected for me. Which is kind of ironic in a game about hacking and being connected in a group...

What do you do with too dark tv shows and movies?

Reply in thread

Yeah, that is my problem. I have calibrated my new TV to meet optimal color and light levels - and it looks absolutely great in like 96% of all I've thrown at it.

But watching See last night was a nightmare. And I know AppleTV+ can look good, as I just finished watching Silo, and even though that by design is also a quite dark show, I never lost sight of what was going on.

I guess there's not much to do other than turn up the brightness. Which shouldn't be necessary. But alas, the world is not perfect.
