Silo: Order Show Only
November 30, 2024 1:01 PM - Season 2, Episode 2 - Subscribe
In Silo 18, discomfort takes place when Juliette does something that nobody has ever done before.
Wikipedia summary:
Bernard watches Juliette's suit camera from inside the vault and sees her approach Silo 17 before it cuts off. As Juliette refused to clean, Bernard understands that her sign of defiance may lead to revolution. He places the deputies under Sims' command and sets a mandatory curfew to control the Silo's population who are asking questions about Juliette's survival. Bernard tries to convince Meadows to aid him as he prepares to give a speech and has Walker and her ex-wife Carla locked up for smuggling Juliette the tape that sealed her suit. Shirley remains defiant and starts riling up people on the lower levels to demand answers while Knox tries to convince her to calm down, wanting to avoid a revolution and protect his people. Bernard gives his speech to the Silo and claims that the IT department produced a new tape that allowed Juliette to survive longer, but remains adamant that she is dead, and Meadows endorses him. While the majority of the Silo's population seemed pleased with the explanation, Shirley is unconvinced and organizes a secret meeting outside curfew. After Bernard thanks Meadows for her help, she demands to be given some tape and asks to go outside.

This show is fantastic at raising questions, but not great at answering them all. Which is fine.
To be fair we're barely past the midpoint of book 1 of a 3 book series. Book 2 is where you really start getting deep lore drops on the "why" of the Silos so, in terms of reveals, this season is going to be fairly slow-burn. That said I'm super excited to see how they adapt some of the more action-y plot beats from the remainder of book 1.

That is fair.
Will I absolutely ruin my enjoyment of the show if I just dive into the books, based on how season 1 and 2 1/3 have gone? Or is there enough difference between them to be both enjoyable but slightly different things?

I read all three books after I finished season 1… the show is largely faithful to the books but enough's changed where I'm still enjoying the journey.
If you want to start the books and remain unspoiled for the show, read book 1 (Wool) up through the point where Jules is sent out to clean — but put it down when Bernard bolts for the server room as he reveals a bit more about the Silo project that could be considered spoilery for future S2 and S3 content.

This episode was way more interesting to me than the first episode because it had lots more people and their stories in it. Juliette's solo delve into a mostly-empty silo in the first episode was kind of hard to love. I'm surprised they didn't flip the order of the two episodes.
