Silo (Apple TV+) | Rebecca Ferguson, David Oyelowo, Tim Robbins
- Thread starter Aragorn
- Start date
Each episode is bringing in more interesting things and most questions. I would love to know more about Meadows' past and if she was a flamekeeper or not. I also found Solo to be interesting and looking forward to learning more about him. I also am looking forward to maybe learning about the origins of the silos. What happened? Who are the originators of the pact, stuff like that. A lot of people are finding season 2 boring for some reason. I'm finding it really interesting and about on par with Season 1. Also, Thank You Apple for the Thanksgiving gift of releasing the episode 2 days early.
I think he's always been considered a mediocre actor in this series.
Tonight's episode was wild. Hopefully more happens with Juliette and Solo next week, as they were more of the side plot this week.
Ya he kind of bugs me some times. Even just the way he speaks sounds out of place and different from other people, who I would think would all speak the same living together like that for so long.
I'm beginning to wonder if they are going to adapt the other Wool stories at all or if we're going to get something drastically different. I enjoy the show but it's moving at a glacial pace compared to the books.
I've been seeing that a lot. I haven't read the books so maybe that's why I feel like the pace is a lot more brisk. I did want more with Juliette and Solo though. Also, we are only 4 episodes into the season. I'm sure things will pick up as the weeks go on.
Juliette will show back up at her silo at some point. What will happen? They're not a very stable bunch. lol The entire silo will turn on the mayor if he doesn't let her back in. Should be an interesting moment. Hopefully it happens next episode. It would be cool if Juliette brought Solo with her, but probably not for lack of another suit.
I assume he is a big name in America and seen as a "get" because he seems to be terribly one note as an actor. His speech in the last episode was like something being read out by a bot.
He's a huge name as a musician. As an actor, his biggest hit movie is probably John Wick 2 but he wasn't really required to do much outside of the action scenes. He was a regular on Hell on Wheels with Colm Meany and Anson Mount but I never watched that show so I can't comment on his acting there.
Episode 6 - I'm struggling with the lack of Juliette. Rebecca Ferguson is the best performer on the show and episodes with barely any of her in it just leave me think "when are we getting to the Julietteworks facotry?" I was hoping her and Solo would be out of their silo by now but it's looking like they'll be there until the season finale. So her story has barely progressed the last few episodes. I'm not saying I don't enjoy the other stuff (though I couldn't care less about Knox and Shirely's romantic life) and I did enjoy developments in this episode: Camille Sims has developed into one of the most interesting secondary characters, I liked Billings rebelling and Bernard's panic. But I could really use another episode of just Juliette and Solo to move their story along.
I agree 100%.
I like this show a lot, but this season isn't really moving the main narrative forward.
I have often thought that shows like this rely on a certain level of incuriosity. Solo obviously knows a lot more about the world than Juliette (elephants, etc.) but she shows no interest in how he knows this, what else he knows, and so forth. I realize she is motivated to get back before people follow her out, but she can walk and chew gum at the same time. Ask some questions!
She probably thinks Solo knows fek all and elephants or whatever is just a load of shite he made up in his head.I agree 100%.

I am a bit disappointed we didn't get to find out more though. I'll be real pissed of the final episode doesn't get us in behind that door.
This week's was better, though I did wish they'd just stayed with Juliette and Solo for longer instead of cutting to other stuff. The stuff with Bernard and Lukas is getting very interesting too and Tim Robbins is always great to watch.
It became very clear this episode why Sims had no hope of ever being IT shadow. He wouldn't have had a clue what to do with Legacy.
Hmmm...
Another episode where Juliette farts around in the other Silo the whole time. Nothing really happens until the last 30 seconds.
At least some progress was made in the other Silo.
I can appreciate "slow" sci-fi, but this season is positively glacial.

I'm wondering if Rebecca Ferguson was busy with shooting something else, so they shot all her scenes in a week on the one set then divided them into little chunks to sprinkle through the season.
I like Lukas learning stuff and the sheriff and his wife had a nice scene.

I expected a pretty big episode for episode 8, and it kinda felt like it was meandering. Maybe I'm starting to see what people were saying about this show being slow. We're two episodes away from the finale now. Can we get some pretty big answers? As someone who hasn't read the books, who are those people that Juliette encountered. They seemed pretty young, maybe the descendants of the rebels?
Also for an episode titled The Book of Quinn, we really didn't get that much, other than telling us what we already know about it all being rigged.
