Warning: Full spoilers comply with for Season 1 of Silo.

Season 2 of Silo (assessment), the dystopian science fiction sequence a couple of neighborhood of people residing inside an underground cylinder after the apocalypse, is now upon us. The season premiere drops on November 15, with the sequence airing weekly after that. The Rebecca Ferguson-led drama prides itself on its mystery-based storytelling, discovering methods to recontextualize the situation in almost each episode. It’s one amongst many examples of Apple TV+ being the place for style tv.

Still, there are some questions we now have not nearly how issues performed out in Season 1, but in addition relating to what we’ll be taught on this new 10-episode season. Let’s dive deep!

What Will Happen to Juliette Now That She’s Outside the Silo?

Season 1 ended with Juliette Nichols (Ferguson) leaving the silo and studying the reality: The world really is a wasteland just like the home windows inside counsel, and the visor show displaying it as a paradise for individuals who depart is the lie. Luckily for her, Walker (Harriet Walter) organized for Juliette’s go well with to be made out of prime quality supplies, so she isn’t instantly killed by the setting like each different one who beforehand left. This permits Juliette to ascend the hill and see that there are various different silos close by. We’ll need to see how this cliffhanger performs out, however the place will Juliette go now that she’s left her neighborhood? Presumably to a different silo, however which one, and the way completely different will or not it’s from the silo she is aware of? Will she ever be capable of return? Hopefully the season premiere clues us in.

How Many Silos Are There, and How Does the Silo Network Function?

We don’t know but if Season 2 will comply with the books it’s based mostly on precisely (the place it’s revealed what number of silos there are), however regardless of the case, we do need to know what number of silos exist and the way this entire operation capabilities. Bernard Holland (Tim Robbins) presumably will get his orders from somebody, so what sort of communications can be found between silos that on a regular basis residents don’t find out about? What are the opposite silos like? Do all of them have a Bernard-alike who retains issues beneath wraps, or is there extra occurring right here? Learning the rationale for all the silos’ guidelines is considered one of our greatest hopes for the brand new season.

How Long Has the Silo Operated?

In the primary season, we realized that it’s been 140 years since “the revolt,” a nebulously outlined occasion the place what passes for the silo’s historical past begins. All information and data from earlier than the revolt should not simply misplaced, however actively suppressed due to the Pact (the e book of laws for all times within the silo). This is why “relics,” objects from earlier than the revolt, are virtually uniformly outlawed. However, “earlier than the revolt” and “earlier than the silo” appear to be two completely different time intervals, a minimum of in keeping with how they’re utilized in dialog. So what number of years has the silo operated earlier than the revolt that was apparently so unhealthy that it’s now unlawful to analysis what got here earlier than it? We hope Juliette discovers the reply sooner relatively than later.

Why Are Elevators and Magnifiers Outlawed?

Beyond relics, sure different applied sciences are additionally outlawed within the silo. In Season 1, we be taught that elevators, pulleys and magnifiers are all no-gos, and that attempting to invent these applied sciences will get you in hassle with Judicial. This is a part of Juliette’s backstory, as a result of her mom builds a magnifier, which results in a raider crew breaking into their condo and destroying it. It additionally implies that it’s important to “stroll the silo” through the central spiral staircase if it’s good to get to a different flooring, and the one different means up or down the silo appears to be the rubbish chute (Juliette makes use of this late within the season to evade detection). But why are these applied sciences not allowed? Nobody offers a motive, however perhaps we’ll be taught why quickly.

Why Did the Window Display Show a Fake Green World If It’s Supposed to Be for the Helmet Display?

As talked about earlier, Juliette learns that the visor show within the helmets of people that depart the silo reveals a faux picture of a inexperienced world, presumably to trick them into cleansing the window show earlier than they die. However, if that’s the one motive it exists, then how come when the window show malfunctions for a second (when Juliette shuts down energy to the silo so she will restore the generator) it briefly reveals the faux inexperienced world on the window show? A bunch of civilians see it flash, and it appears that evidently it is likely to be a plot level for later, however it doesn’t actually repay. Even then, it appears bizarre that the window show is even able to that, as a result of it serves no goal for Bernard past probably inciting revolt if folks had been to suppose the surface is likely to be secure. Was this an oversight on IT’s half? Or was this a part of a plan they haven’t enacted but?

What Is the Syndrome and Is It Related to Being Born Underground?

One of the opposite recurring plot factors that doesn’t get a lot payoff within the first season is the Syndrome, a situation we don’t actually be taught all that a lot about. Paul Billings (Chinaza Uche), who got here from Judicial and turns into Juliette’s chief deputy throughout her time as sheriff, has the situation, which is outwardly speculated to preclude somebody from sure positions of energy. His arms shake and he turns into disoriented sometimes, however past these signs, we don’t be taught anything about it. How prevalent is the Syndrome? Is it really an actual world situation that the society of the silo has lengthy since misplaced the medical time period for? Or is it one thing new that developed in individuals who had been born and raised underground? Perhaps we’ll encounter different characters with the Syndrome and be taught extra about it in Season 2.

Will We Learn More About the Flamekeepers? Are There Similar Organizations in Other Silos?

Later in Season 1, Juliette’s investigation leads her to Gloria Hildebrant (Sophie Thompson), a girl that Judicial is protecting forcibly sedated within the hospital. She was beforehand a fertility counselor, however after weaning her off the medicine, Juliette learns that Gloria was focused by Judicial as a result of she was a Flamekeeper, a subversive group devoted to researching the previous in secret. Juliette’s mom was additionally related to the group. This appears to be an enormous revelation, however we don’t be taught rather more in regards to the Flamekeepers or their membership in addition to the truth that Judicial tried to suppress or assassinate them at any time when they might due to the potential for the Flamekeepers inciting revolt. We surprise if there are comparable teams within the different silos, or even when it’s doable that they might discover a approach to talk and set up in opposition to the silo management.

What Happened to George’s Secret Door That He Found Beneath the Silo?

In the second episode of Season 1, Juliette takes the earlier sheriff, Holston Becker (David Oyelowo), to the bottom degree of Mechanical. Through a secret passage, she reveals him an enormous chamber beneath the silo the place the digger car that created the opening the silo was inbuilt was left. Given Becker’s response, it appears that evidently silo management has no thought this chamber exists. But extra pressingly, George Wilkins (Ferdinand Kingsley), Juliette’s lover who commits suicide to flee Judicial questioning, had found a secret underwater door on the backside of this chamber that led to a different passage, however he didn’t get to see the place it went earlier than his dying. Could this passage result in one other silo? Has there been a approach to journey between silos this entire time that no one knew about? Given what number of instances the key door is talked about (Juliette even makes an attempt to get to it at one level however fails due to her concern of the water), we might be shocked if it’s not an necessary factor of Season 2.
