    Spoilers Severance on Apple+

    Very good finale, but I hope season 3 will be a bit more focused and even in pacing. Weird stuff, like the goats, didn't always pay off.

    Spoilers Severance on Apple+

    The outside seems to be almost as weird as the inside, with the entire town seemingly being owned by Lumon and all the weird interactions with Ricken's entourage and with Cobel/Selvig etc. In my view, they have succesfully left the question open whether Helly or Helena is down on the severance...

    Silo (Apple TV+) | Rebecca Ferguson, David Oyelowo, Tim Robbins

    The banning of microscopes is indeed one curious aspect, allthough this would also work to stop close examination of microcircuits (like the one in the relatively primitive hand camera that Juliette inherited from George, and gave to Walker to examine). Another point is the secret selective...

    Which may not be poisonous unless the overlord pump in poison, like we now know they can do within the silo. Right outside the Silo may be a backup plan, with other pipes dispensing poison there in case of a mass breakout (and possibly also in case of a cleaning).

    Walk's reveal was a great moment. It was telegraphed, but for a moment they made me doubt. As for the Safeguard - I'm not very sure there has actually been a doomsday (beyond that seemingly deserted city in the background - maybe connected to that "dirty bomb" that was referenced in the very...

    Yes, I have no doubt that Juliette will survive (the firefighter suit being a clear reason). However, the other character went down right away and Juliette followed and may (or may not) cover the other character, possibly giving a chance to survive. Since there are indications that there is...

    Well, the last scene wasn't that shocking but the one before that was quite cliffhangery and did not get resolved! I don't doubt Juliette lives (tm), and probably too, but I'm not sure how and in which condition for the latter. The finale was great, maybe with the exception of the somewhat...

    Spoilers Skeleton Crew [Spoiler Discussion]

    Indeed, Skeleton Crew was tightly plotted and well executed. Loved that all the crumbs and plotpoints visited earlier had meaning for the final confrontation (like the gun on the school, and them contacting K'hymm) and that every character got a part to play in the finale according to their...

    Silo (Apple TV+) | Rebecca Ferguson, David Oyelowo, Tim Robbins

    Silo does feel like it's a fully realised world. Season 1 immediately makes you care about multiple characters, while the viewer is also guessing about what is going on with the intrigue in and background of the silo.

    I also think Knox is on to Walk, and he was basically talking in code to her ("I can't punish her for wanting to save her loved one"). Which probably means he is now feeding Bernard misinformation. I loved the way both Solo and his opponents were redeemed. The conclusion in Silo 17 wasn't a big...

    Spoilers Skeleton Crew [Spoiler Discussion]

    Excellent show. Similar vibe and quality to Star Trek's Prodigy. One of the parents said that only people who graduate get told about the Republic etc. What isn't entirely clear to me: is het only taking about the old republic or did shipments go on during the time of the Empire and even now...

    Confusion about the timeline....

    The Protostar went twice through the time anomaly, once forward and once backward. And not the same amount of years in both instances.

    Confusion about the timeline....

    Because Starfleet wouldn't listen (and he can't give them "orders", obviously, he could merely ask). Season 2 made it clear that even what happened at the end of season 1 did not change Starfleet's mind, they did make first contact with the Vau n'Akat (possibly even faster than in the original...

    Silo (Apple TV+) | Rebecca Ferguson, David Oyelowo, Tim Robbins

    People seem to have become more impatient, demanding answers NOW. And I can understand it after shows like Lost that endlessly kicked mystery boxes around, but if there is one series where we know we wil get answers it is Silo since it's based on a completed book series and season 3 and 4 are...

    Silo (Apple TV+) | Rebecca Ferguson, David Oyelowo, Tim Robbins

    I think we will get major movement and answers in the final 2 episodes (as more or less indicated by Howey in the - cleaned for bookspoilers version - Q&A mentioned above). The season has been slow at times, but I think the negativity that seems to surround it (on Reddit, for example) is...

    Prodigy's Fate Sealed?

    Also, the end of season 2 ends the children's arcs that started in the very first episode. They have reached their goals, they escaped Tars Lamora, improved and joined Starfleet. More would risk to be a repetition (if not handled carefully, as the Hageman's likely would but alternative...

    Prodigy's Fate Sealed?

    The ending is open enough to continue, if there is money to do so. But the first 2 seasons were probably conceived to also work as the entire show, though.

    Spoilers Star Trek: Prodigy 1x06 - "Kobayashi"

    It was also a very good episode that happened to develop Dal's arc, as well as Gwyn and Zero, while casually revealing pieces of the main plot concerning the Vau n'Akat and Chakotay. Even the C-plot with Rok and Murf was funny. Perhaps Prodigy's very best among the single episodes.

    Prodigy's Fate Sealed?

    I don't think it was tacked on. You can't really do last-minute in animation (lead times far too long), and the show was largely completed at the time it was decided not to stream it on P+. Moreover, there were already building up to the events surrounding the Romulan supernova from the second...

    S1 vs. S2 (AKA Voyager S8)

    Yes. They were in charge without Starfleet oversight, which really fits the show. And it was nice to see them failing, but then ultimately succeeding on their own (with a little help from Janeway).
