That entire silo is done much more simple and straightforward in the book. She just shows up, Solo thinks he's the only one in the silo, there's a huge farm with plenty of food kind of running itself, the kids are there but hiding. They only attack the pump to stop it from making the baby to cry.

As usual the books are better then, i haven't read them, just seen the show, and that episode didn't make sense to me and the bow girl was annoying lol.

Damn, glad I didn't give up. Episode 9 was really, really good. The ending was amazing, can't wait for season finale next week.

I thought episode 8 with that awful cliffhanger was the last one, lol.

Yeah, episode 9 is much better.

I fully agree. I still criticize the season overall for having pacing issues, but at least it's paying off BIG.

I was sure I was gonna hate the kids at first, and I pretty much did up until Solo opened up to them. Except for Eater maybe, she was alright My point being, I think they managed balancing the screentime very well. And the pay off with Solo finally being "reunited" with some "peers", being able to share all his "toys" and finally having at least a brief moment of happiness is just imo so well done. AND THEN they slap that door on you... There's so much other good stuff to mention too . Best episode of the series probably.

Looking forward to next week and then it's time for Severance. That one I might actually rewatch prior to it returning.

I'm guessing the tunnel at the end of episode 9 probably interconnects all the silos and each silo has one? I don't know what else it could be.

Maybe the tunnels are how the Silo gets flooded. The door told Lucas that he can't tell anybody about what he saw. The door probably told the same thing to Judge Meadows before him, and she was willing to take that whole thing to her grave because the deterrent was strong enough. Now what is that deterrent? Maybe something that is bad enough to wipe out the entire Silo? Maybe this is "The Safeguard" Salvador Quinn talked about? Maybe that explains the pumps down there that Mechanical doesn't know about? Maybe that's what the tunnels are for.

I'm probably wrong, your theory is way more straightforward and plausible, I just picked bits of this up on reddit and like the weekly theorizing

I'm waiting for all the episodes to air so I can binge it all. I only read the first book and really enjoyed it despite the slow pace

Episode 10 was great.

There was some implication all the Silos are connection when they felt the explosion from the other Silo. Also, game over for Bernard he got owned. Saw that one coming. I knew they were plotting something in secret to throw him off. Wonder if he's dead. Juliette obviously isn't, we'll see if they killed Bernard off screen. And then the final scene which was sort of a flashback before the wasteland that gave some insight into what happened.

I honestly didn't read this as him getting "owned", not in the slightest. It was a shit show all around. He was actually kinda based in the way he just didn't give any fucks anymore

AMAZING finale. Ep09 was already really peak television, and Ep10 managed to follow up strong.

A little amazing detail I read on reddit afterwards about the suit:
Bernard was wearing a "regular" outside-going suit, while Juliette was wearing a - you guessed it - FIREFIGHTER SUIT. That's how she maybe survives the fires?.

Also, about the last scene:
I was absolutely sure as shit that this was a cut to the "present", like, what do the people that created this mess do now? Juxtapositioning the drama in the Silo against the comfy live elsewhere. I thought the Silo was like some kind of experiment or whatever the people in Washington came up with.

After reading a couple of things on reddit, (no books spoilers): it's apparently a flashback? Like I obviously noticed the Nixon posters and stuff, I just thought it would be like some kind of Fallout world where this is simply the moment it time when things went to shit? The way people are talking about it and how they're convinced about it makes it pretty sure it's a flashback though.

Anyways, amazing season. Glad to have it watched aired, it's pretty rare these days to get something as good and as enticing and as fun to theorize with other people on TV as this

That was a very Westworld Season 2-esque ending scene.

I liked it.
