Silo - By Hugh Howey - May 5th

Better episode this week, does feel like Bernard is starting to lose it, especially with making his new shadow in that much haste to try getting more info.

Still seems to be moving very slowly given the amount of material they have to get through, especially if the history and prequel in Book 2 is going to be covered in any depth. Far too much time being spent in Silo 18 adding all sorts of padding rather than over in 17, where we got about two minutes at the end of Juliette and Solo. I know we've discussed that it's not necessary to stick too close to the books, but this stage of the story was told very much from the POV of what was happening in 17, not 18 and certainly not all the window dressing.

It was better paced, but i don't really care about the internal power struggle - i want answers about what has happened, why the silos, what is outside, is it global etc.

But ofc once we have those answers, the show will be over, so just enjoying the ride.

None of that answered until the 2nd book really.

shutting down the radios might be the show runners way to get walker working on fixing the sheriffs radio which would be similar to the books and they might make contact with solo 1 or Juliet?
 
Pretty good episode this week. One little gripe.

Being underwater for that long and such depths. Won't the cold be a problem or is the water heated somehow. :D
 
Again enjoyed that episode. It does feel built for watching all at once. Looking at the number of people not happy with episodes 1-3 and the pacing and then it ramps up later. Doesn't help viewership that way, but does work better with watching all together.

Will be a long wait for season 3 once this season is done.

Forget about that problem...

So I guess she is now a free diving expert managing to make her way back to the surface, oh and she can suddenly swim!

I could kinda accept that with natural instinct. Plus she meant to be pretty smart and her life depended on it.

But what about the Bends? Solo went to the trouble of explaining that plot device aaaaaand she's OK

I love the split story and the way one story's setting fills in details of the other. I am really enjoying this, but it's not without it's faults.

Enjoyed this weeks episode again, actually looking forward to next weeks episode now to see how they try to wrap some of the storylines up.
 
It was actually better and the events in 17 started to mirror the book a little more. Though Solo was never that argumentative or borderline hysterical. And yes
What about the bends, after Solo specfically warned her? In the book she ascends more slowly, relying on pockets of air trapped under the stairs etc.
Also...
It looks as if the teens/kids will be in it after all, given the blood trail at the end indicating someone assaulted Solo.

How did she hold her breath for that long? As above, the 'bends' Solo took time to explain about and then nothing. What i was expecting was, again as above, she would find pocket(s) of air, but from discovering the rope had been cut, she had no air and then ascending - no way.

But a lot happened this week, was hoping it wouldn't finish! Kept me wanting more which can only be a good thing :)
