“The pacing is too slow.” - Critic

“Just shut up. Stop. No, it’s not. No, it’s not. It didn’t ask for this! None of us did. You wanna be angry? Be angry at the motherfuckers who made this show and got us into it! Not us. Not it. All we’re trying to do is to watch it but the only way we can do that is by trusting the other people watching the same shit as we are.” - Juliette

“The acting is terrible.” - Critic

”Look at what you have. You‘ve got Ferguson. And Robbins. And Zahn. And you have Common. Not Bad Common or whatever asshole name you wanna give him. You wanna be angry? Then be angry with each other but not at each other. This is it. You’re all that’s left. So just make it work. But you have to make it work right fucking now.“ - Juliette

HE is my new boyfriend!! Incredible, isn’t it?

So anyway I am so in love with him, but unfortunately he is sick. He got kidney cancer. 😭

Now he needs money to get it treated. I want him to get healthy, but it is a lot of money. He says he needs 800k €.

I am divorcing my wealthy husband now to be with him. I will be awarded 800.000€, so that’s all I have.

I don’t know what to do. Should I send him the money??

CAREFUL SPOILERS from Promotional Material in the Pictures!

Please only Show-Spoilers

So what do we know so far:

1. There has been allegedly a “dirty bomb” attack on Washington D.C., but Charlotte doubts this and the scanners never show signs of radioactive contamination. -> >!it’s a cover up for the real threat.!<
2. The silos were supposedly built to be bunkers to protect the inhabitants from an outside threat >!as seen in the news.!<
3. Cleaners with faulty tapes die almost immediately, the good tape prevents this.
4. Silo 17 cupped the safeguard, went outside and didn’t die at first until the “dust” came.
5. The grey goo attacked the pre digital equipped jets -> >!As most have already guessed and another user pointed out,!< >!grey goo!< >!(it is called that in the preview of a later episode) stands since the 80s for a hypothetical end-of-the-world scenario where out-of-control, self-replicating!< >!nanobots!< >!consume all life on Earth to make copies of themselves. In the picture above we see the black goo which also kinda looks like dust hence it must be the same. Also!< >!nanotech!< >!is mentioned in the news headlines!<.

Theories:

So if Silo 17 stopped the Safeguard Procedure and they didn’t die by going outside, it must mean the air outside must actually be safe. Also if the air was poisonous then there would be no need for the Safeguard. But why then did the cleaners from Silo 18 die? The only difference between both Silos is the Disabling of the Safeguard, meaning the safeguard is the same that kills cleaners as the Silo inhabitants. When Juliette went out, she didn’t die although the safeguard was not capped, but she had the good tape preventing some kind of poisonous gas to kill her. It’s probably a gas and not Nanobots because the tape wouldn’t be able to prevent Nanobots. But what then killed Silo 17? The dust aka grey goo aka Nanobots which were deployed after they managed to get out. Who deployed it? Must be Silo 1 keeping watch of all the Silos as it is monitoring all the radio frequencies.

Also the show made sure that we knew that Per Stensen was an advocate of AI control. AI must also play a bigger role. We also know that Per Stensen is behind the Silo Project aka probably the Passion Project. He also funds the clinic where Dr. Victor Czernivich suppresses Charlottes memory. He also was aboard the Nimitz where only analog jet fighters were sent out. He must have known of the grey goo and is the reason behind why only such jets were deployed. He is what connects it all.

Others pointed out that the algorithm has human like features and that it sounds like Daniel or Victor. As they couldn’t be alive anymore it could only be something like an uploaded personality as in Fallout Robert House. It must be an AI Daniel or Victor which is controlling all the silos hence AI control. Still the algorithm often used the word we so there must be also humans behind it in Silo 1.

It’s pretty obvious by now that the main theme of the show is control. We have control of information, history, movement, reproduction, and now also control of memory. The whole Silos are basically an elaborate mechanism to control a whole civilization.

What do you think?
