There is one thing I noticed that I want to point out. When Juliette told Holland about the door below he seem genuinely surprised. As if he didn't knew. That was the moment he ended the conversation. Just saying.
Yeah i catch that too. I think you are right about this one.
And speaking of dying, Where are all the others that went out? Does someone actually go out to collect the bodies ?
From what I understood, the image on the helmet (and not on the silo's screens) is digitally manipulated, meaning they're all still there, as dead as they can be, just like we see on the silo's screens. Juliette seemed to have felt a body right before she left the previous sheriff's star on the "ground" (you can clearly see the distortion in the image), assuming it was his body, maybe by recalling the approximate location of where he fell when he went out cleaning.
I think something in the suit is keeping Juliette alive, unlike the others (is it the tape?), but most likely not for long (the air doesn't look breathable out there). Which leaves me very, very curious to see how will she stay alive in the second season's premiere.
I also wonder where does that door below lead to, as the final scene didn't seem to show any sort of alternative exit (which was what I assume that door would be, an exit out of the silo). I'm guessing it's a door to other silos.
@misnomer OK, I see your point concerning the bodies. That could be an explanation. But I don't think I saw any bodies in the final overview shot. Need to go back to check that.
For sure something about the tape is different. Remember what Walker said ? That the tape has to be special or why make such a fuzz over the theft ? And I'm sure she switched it.
The door below leading to the other Silos is an intruiging thought It would give sense to Hollands reaction when Julitte told him about it. That's a good point.
Should be interesting to see how this goes on.
Thanks for the reply.
@great_vc Definitely right ! He didn't know for sure !
Sorry in advance this could be major spoilers...............
I know most people havnt read the books and that's fine, just to give some context from the books, the silos were completely built by 2052 with a total of 50 silos, which are all managed by silo 1 which houses the co-leaders of world order operation fifty, whilst the other 49 silos have general population, silo 1 inhabitants are cycled in and out of cryogenic stasis every few decades or so to work 6month a time, when the other silos suffer from rebellion they are treated with what's called a resetting, the population is reduced, the remaining residents are given amnesia medication and all computers are wiped. If the silo is completely taken over silo 1 terminates the silo by activating poison gas.
in the year 2212 a few silos were in rebellion and were terminated, shortly after that silo 18 (what we see in this series) had a rebellion and they were reset.. the events of the series are in the year 2345.

Just let me get two things out of the way I think were weak storytelling.
First, putting the drive on the hub was the stupidest thing to do as it could only lead to her getting caught. It also was illogical as it was clear that they would just override it and/or claim it as false. Granted she didn't know about the Janitor room but she knew there was surveilance everywhere and because of that might reach the conclusion that all those feeds had to be watched somewhere. But the story needs to go on so I'll take it.
Second, its hard to believe that they didn't inspect the stuff they brought to Juliette or they would have found the note. Even not knowing what it meant they would not have let it through. Plus, from a storyelling point of view it was giving too much away. Would have been better to not show it. Instead they could insert a scene when Juliette is about to break down to explain that she didn't die. And speaking of dying, Where are all the others that went out? Does someone actually go out to collect the bodies ?
Now, for the big reveal at the end I have to say I didn't see that coming. After making us believe (and I did) that it is safe outside, not only do we learn it is not, but there are literally dozens of silos out there. Does that mean the whole of mankind lives underground ? My guess is that each one thinks they are the only one and each one does have someone taking care that it stays like that. But we still don't have an idea about why ?
There is one thing I noticed that I want to point out. When Juliette told Holland about the door below he seem genuinely surprised. As if he didn't knew. That was the moment he ended the conversation. Just saying.
So, I don't know the books but from reading elsewhere I understand we barely scratched the surface of the story. I wonder how slow they will go with this one. The second season is already confirmed but thre is always the chance of not getting a third, or forth, or however many they need to play this out.
I sure hope we're not getting left hanging in the air atsome point.
