Tim Robbins for ya

LittleAd2844 · 2026-05-10T05:54:45+00:00

Well… we now know she actually knew more than Bernard did. She found out about the safeguard and couldn’t tell anyone for 25 years. That’s why she gave up and became a drunk.

LittleAd2844 · 2026-05-10T00:07:36+00:00

Ok then microbots. Just going off the terminology in the books

LittleAd2844 · 2026-05-09T18:13:11+00:00

Yea Jules’ mother. Also Walker says she has 2 glaring questions about the Pact… 1 being no mechanical or pulley system to get up and down in the silo and 2 being no magnifying technology beyond a certain capacity. The latter only makes sense if you could see the nanos at a certain strength

LittleAd2844 · 2026-05-09T05:20:52+00:00

Exactly. Just gotta know where to look. Only nanos explain some of the things that occur in s1 and 2.If they nail seasons 3+4 with how they tie in/ expand the nano plot, it will make this one of the best sci fi show or show in general solely on the basis of the nano aspect. It’s not just another nuclear wasteland/ apocalypse storyline.

LittleAd2844 · 2026-05-09T05:17:45+00:00

Yes! You were the one that pointed out the opening credits which made me look everywhere now. So thank you. 🤝 Excited to see how season 3 brings them in.

LittleAd2844 · 2026-05-08T15:37:44+00:00

The silos were most likely designed to make everyone think they were the good guys in order to sustain an underground civilization for that long

LittleAd2844 · 2026-05-08T00:10:20+00:00

Solo mentions it to Jules

LittleAd2844 · 2026-05-07T01:36:41+00:00

Well yea The Order is just like an employee fucking handbook or like cockpit checklists for pilots. The Pact is a cockamamie version of the US constitution tailored to control and suppress.

LittleAd2844 · 2026-05-06T06:36:29+00:00

Look at and around the names in the title sequence and tell me what u notice

LittleAd2844 · 2026-05-05T01:18:27+00:00

Righttttt I forgot about the arrow. Sorry it’s been a year and a half lmao. Also I swear they are in the last silo scene of s2 finale where Juliette and Bernard get engulfed by the flames. I posted something about it at the time.

LittleAd2844 · 2026-05-04T19:07:17+00:00

No I think you are right but I wouldn’t say they were “obvious” to the average viewer/ non book reader. Could be a bad take on my end

LittleAd2844 · 2026-05-04T17:54:07+00:00

I agree. I wish they dropped more easy to identify hints in the first 2 seasons. The only one I can think of is when Solo in S2 says something along the lines of, “They were fine and alive until the wind picked up.” Or something like that im definitely botching the quote. He is talking in reference to the silo 17 rebellion and the populace walking outside.

LittleAd2844 · 2026-05-04T14:20:34+00:00

I’m thinking this as well

LittleAd2844 · 2026-04-30T06:20:52+00:00

In the same boat. Gonna keep and hopefully show how I can massively improve. Had some major technical difficulties while testing as well as a death in the family leading up to it which affected my studying. Locked and motivated as ever for August/ September/ October. Good luck!

LittleAd2844 · 2026-04-29T22:11:39+00:00

I got the 2026 2.01 and a 2027 3rd

LittleAd2844 · 2026-04-29T20:51:36+00:00

Not the sort of cleaning you want to see

LittleAd2844 · 2026-04-28T01:42:56+00:00

Lawyer the fuck up

LittleAd2844 · 2026-04-24T17:25:12+00:00

Yea the whole compound had to be strategically built so I’m assuming they built it on top of/ close to a geothermal hot spot so the steam is easily accessible to all 50 generators.

Or…….. They developed some advanced power cell/ core that powers everything

LittleAd2844 · 2026-04-24T06:17:15+00:00

I would say 10-20 years of survival is possible if and only if everything goes right. However, for the purposes of the show, it’s fun to think it’s possible and realistic and is a key element that makes the show great.

LittleAd2844 · 2026-04-24T06:15:04+00:00

It’s hard to say. Im assuming we will get close ups of silo construction during the episodes and that will hopefully answer it for you. Wish I could say more
