[@DoublePMedia]

LETS US KNOW YOUR THOUGHTS ON THE SILO S2 PREMIERE - Is Juliette better or worse off?

[@walkingonwater1967]

Juliette only fell 3 lvls before hitting the water

[@walkingonwater1967]

which makes me think, how did she get back to the other side seeing as she would have to walk back up.

[@DoublePMedia]

If the Silo's are identical --- that means this new silo has SIGNIFICANTLY flooded

[@I_OptimusPrime]

Bett3r of course, atleast she survived

[@funfunfun3624]

I respect the show for going slow. It makes everything feel RAW. I felt like I was juliet, and experiencing her frustration. If it was sped up, the realness would be gone. I feel like I'm actually there, and thats great

[@DoublePMedia]

Glad you like it, I'll read your feedback on the next pod --- however it's killing me because its the opposite of the page-turning pulse of the book that I loved.

[@TimsRetroCorner]

I give it 8 triple Bs - Bouncy Busted Bridges. Minus 1 because we didn't get episode 2 and I wanted some action, not just a stretched out dungeon crawl. Minus another 1 because I'm not a fan of flashbacks - I think they're just lazy story telling (and in this case way too on point: "I had to find my way in the dark, you can too", Jules has to find her way in the dark...) I share Catfish's misgivings about the atmosphere in the silo. Mechanical is about a mile underground (144 levels, 50ft per level...), and so it really needs to be treated like a mine. It's gonna naturally fill with water (check), unless it's continually pumped out. Even IT on level 33 is over 500 metres down. Now I'm no mining engineer, but it's got to be pretty noxious down there with all the ventilation shut off... Jules should be holding up a canary, yet alone a torch! BTW if you watched the season 2 trailer with subtitles on, you'll know who the guy behind the door is - they name checked him.

[@DoublePMedia]

Triple B's? Oh of course. "stretched out dungeon crawl" lol.

[@aaronmd_]

I hope we get Donald or Thurman flashbacks!!! Be a great end of season cliff hanger maybe?

[@DoublePMedia]

I've been wondering about how the show will handle Shift for a while... still don't know how they'll manage

[@aaronmd_]

@DoublePMedia I hope they give us some, I think it was possibly the best book of the series myself. But I understand how narratively it will be difficult. Ps I'm also trying to be polite and not say too much

[@99rainingflame]

Only thing I didn’t really care for in this episodes was the flashbacks, I felt like we covered all that in the first season. Was wondering why go back again but it ended up making sense

[@DoublePMedia]

Reading the critic reviews of season 2 - we may be getting many flashbacks this season

[@johngoldsmith427]

Read the book, and this series is so faithful!

[@jonfreeman9682]

So you're saying it stays true to the 📚 and they didn't change anything?

[@croatoansounds]

Hah I also thought “my survivors…” was written on the door, but it apparently says “any survivors…”, which makes a lot more sense looking back hehe. I didn’t realize it till I saw another video where they read it as “any”

[@DoublePMedia]

Yep, those poor people didn't get rescued because of poor penmanship :)

[@TheSponkomat]

I actually like the TV series more, *because* of that very table setting. I read the book after season 1 and it felt really rushed to me. Also, I enjoy the fact that its only 1 episode per week. I like having time to think about things, watch videos about what other people noticed, liked and not liked. So... to each his own.

[@DoublePMedia]

Thank you for this feedback. I like 1 episode per week ... yet in this particular case, not sure this episode satisfied me after we've waited for a year & a half for season 2.

[@TheSponkomat]

@@DoublePMedia Patience, youngling. ;)

[@kalebgonzales4009]

To be honest, Jules’ part in the book is slowed down in pace because most of the action is back in silo 18. This episode was ok, and the flashback is also faithful to the book, but her task was changed to junk picking/ recycling instead of carrying some cables. My concern is not the bridge, it’s the level of the water. All I can say is, it shouldn’t be than high and close to level 34.

[@DoublePMedia]

I had the same thought about the how high the water has gotten, but didn't want to mention for fear of that being a *spoiler*. Jules' story did slow down did a bit in the book, yet Hugh Howey made Juliette's chapters REALLY short. Some as short as 3 pages. That kept the pace and pages turning for the readers

[@karinaouvrard1299]

Enjoyed de talk very much , thanks.

[@DoublePMedia]

Thank you very much

[@nulltestchannelnulltestcha7252]

Juliette couldn't use the trash chute to get to I.T.

[@DoublePMedia]

That’s an assumption

[@matthewmurdick]

Triple B! Bookreader Bubba (is) Back!

[@DoublePMedia]

He never left :)

[@BallinOutOfControl08]

I agree that the 10 minutes of unnecessary flashbacks were too much filler, especially since the episode was only 40 mins.

[@DoublePMedia]

Worried the young Juliette flashbacks might go on all season

[@jonfreeman9682]

But it shows Jules developing her skills as an engineer. This episode is called the engineer.

[@eoinoconnor8996]

Wheres the book talk part?

[@DoublePMedia]

We cut that and release it as a 2nd video on Tuesday. If you subscribe to the audio podcast, it comes as one whole piece

[@SkepticalZack]

@@DoublePMediafinally no creators talk about the books

[@DoublePMedia]

@@SkepticalZack after it’s out on Tuesday, give us your feedback on if you want more spoiler talk or less spoiler book talk

[@SkepticalZack]

@ I want more. The books are the best part of this story. The one dude is right we are unlikely to ever get a conclusion to the story on screen

[@beckybullis6547]

@@SkepticalZack Me too. I can't find anyone talking about book vs show comparisons and that's what I want because I keep forgetting the changes between the two

[@NoInterleaving]

I would love to know what kind of toxic stuff can kill you within minutes which must be in the air and can stay there for many years to come by

[@DoublePMedia]

I don't talk about it in this week's Spoiler section (which will be out tomorrow Tuesday 11/19) but I'll talk about it in next week's spoiler section for you

[@NoInterleaving]

@@DoublePMedia thank you

[@rini6]

Pretty sure this episode is the second half of Wool. That does mean this could be two seasons per book. But I think it’s reasonable.

[@jonfreeman9682]

Well first season was alot of setup of characters and world building.

[@DoublePMedia]

@rini6 You're suggesting the big question. They're making the 1st book Wool into (at least) 2 seasons. Yet Rebecca Ferguson says they're going to finish the story in 4 seasons...?

[@DoublePMedia]

@jonfreeman9682 yes, but compared to many shows like Game of Thrones or OMITB... Silo (the tv series and the book) doesn't have that many characters

[@superjohngoldsmith8406]

those eyes in the door were creeepy af

[@DoublePMedia]

Do the heterochromia eyes remind you of Netflix's DARK?

[@motherofbeagles8532]

Who is that guy who said to stay out? Is it the little kid from the beginning?

[@DoublePMedia]

@@motherofbeagles8532 wonderful question: most likely the kid Timmy died in his mother’s arms outside the Silo. But we’ll have an answer in episode 3

[@motherofbeagles8532]

@ thank you!

[@walkingonwater1967]

so all them people saw others dying before them and ran out anyways?? alll them people?

[@walkingonwater1967]

who runs without caution into the fire who does that?

[@DoublePMedia]

Wonderful question

[@RobertLavergne-p7f]

She has hope and isn’t dead, so she isn’t worse off.

[@DoublePMedia]

Great point!

[@johngoldsmith847]

first

[@DoublePMedia]

That's what I want to see

[@BogdanOfficalPage]

Too much filler I agree

[@DoublePMedia]

Next week's episode will be interesting -- The rumors imply its an episode without Juliette, focused on the remaining characters in the old silo

[@KevinGonzales-j1f]

4 minutes in I had to dump you guys, man, you are talking too much, make it concise!

[@DoublePMedia]

Thanks for the feedback, is there a particular podcast or YT that provides the more concise discussion you're looking for?
