@geekademy only getting telegram to be part of the family since i can't get on patreon yet

You are HANDS DOWN the best silo channel. You Don't just regurgitate a recap. You theorize with us and you can tell you actually really enjoy the content and the story and not just doing this for clicks and money.

[@geekademy]

Thank you! I appreciate it!

[@JROB447]

Bernard overlooking the hand signals makes sense. He had a false sense of security And felt like there was no additional info to look out for

[@117Derek]

Also, Bernard is not a hands-on person--he didn't inter-act with the people from Mechanical on a regular basis. So, one of the deputies or Raiders would be more likely to know about the hand signals.

[@troydawson8606]

His overconfidence is his weakness.

[@Mizzhoneyyy]

@geekacademy I totally balled my eyes out crying when Juliette’s Dad sacrificed himself like that, for the cause.😭 This show has me gripped! ❤

[@geekademy]

I wanted to feel something too!

[@Hobodeluxe007]

I think Helen (the journalist) ends up in 18 somehow. And she carries that duck in there and that's how it ends up in 18. The first flamekeeper? An ancestor of one of our stars like Camille?

[@LyfeIllustration]

So excited to see you post so soon, definitely recommend reading the books! I am half way through the second and love both the books and the show for different reasons, which I feel is so rare.

[@geekademy]

Part of me wants to read, but I want to stay clueless and experience the story that way

[@LyfeIllustration]

@ I totally get that, and I’m actually glad I watched season 1 before reading anything. I say go with your gut then and wait, the books will always be there later :)

[@Hobodeluxe007]

Army Corp of Engineers design and build stuff like the dams and levies around New Orleans. So he is experienced in big construction projects.

[@geekademy]

He def connected to the Silo project

[@juggla1983]

Been waiting for you brother thank you for your speed on this!!

[@geekademy]

Been working since 7 am. I have no idea how some youtubers post like 7 minutes after the episode release

[@juggla1983]

@geekademy perfect timing we don't mind waiting. Keep it up you are awesome

[@waynerogers864]

Bernard not seeing hand signalling or being aware of this type of communication is perfectly understandable. Walker explained that it could be done with a single hand, and when we were shown examples the hands were not in view of the camera. Other gestures like scratching your nose, rubbing your eye would appear quite natural and not raise any red flags.

[@geekademy]

True

[@chimwemwemoyo9374]

Finally a long video ❤. You're putting in the work brother

[@geekademy]

Since 7 am. It's 23:35 in my place now. And I am editing Severance

[@chimwemwemoyo9374]

@geekademy its 5:30 am in my place and im watching. If i fall asleep i will watch again haha. Can't wait for severance

[@charleengiles3107]

Hey Geekademy. This is my first comment on your channel. I’ve been enjoying your videos, especially after watching From episodes. During your review in this video about Georgia, I a couple things that came to mind such as peaches, being Georgia’s state fruit (yes, I got the From reference as well 😄), and the mysterious Georgia’s Guidestones that were dismantled in 2022. It was also called the American Stonehenge. The monument seemed fitting with Silo’s atmosphere. Anyway that what came to mind while watching this video. I look forward to see your videos on Severance. Until the next time!

[@geekademy]

Thank you for commenting!

[@Hobodeluxe007]

Exactly they keep us pointing fingers at each other and we ignore the men behind the curtain robbing us blind

[@geekademy]

All this division is man made

[@Goodiees123]

YAAAAS WAS WAITING FOR YOUR REVIEW 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

[@geekademy]

Well it's official. I love you!

[@HodajuciParadoks]

There is a high possibility that next season they show other silos and what was in the past....and how silo 1 works. But we will have to wait until next season, I wish they showed a story faster, I really like the season 2 episode 10 and it 's tempo of story telling.

[@louisvarre2197]

It’s a little ahead of us as there’s only 14 districts in GA in 2025. You’re right

[@juliannewaters7115]

The person’s job to add those World Creating details are the Production Designer, Art Director, and their respective teams (Construction, Set Decorator, Art Department has so many roles I won’t list them all). IT’S NOT CONSIDERED PROP DEPARTMENT’S RESPONSIBILITY UNLESS AN ACTOR TOUCHES IT. The Art Department on Sets are like magical elves, you never see them but every time I walk onto a set I am always so impressed with how much effort they put into their craft, and how fast they’re able to not only build the world but strike it as well, as we are always given stipulations by the Locations we’re shooting at for not just how long we’re allowed to be there, but the longer you have to be there the expense rises significantly. They come in usually one day before, sometimes two or more for big builds, change the space ENTIRELY (literally everything, furniture, the color of paint on the walls, all of the window treatments, everything), then turn around and make the place look EXACTLY like it did before the hundred strangers came in when we wrap. This show does have the advantage of what looks like an elaborate stage with Blue Screen used to extend areas and make the Silo look bigger, but their Art Department is killer. I’m also guessing with that kind of containment they most likely Cross Boarded the Series, meaning they scheduled and shot all of the episodes together out of order by location. Soderbergh and his incredible 1st AD for years Gregory Jacobs came up with Cross Boarding on the Series The Knick. I was lucky enough to work with their AD team on an HBO series called Mosaic (RIP Paul Rubens, the most genuinely kind actor I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with, someone who showed he cared about people no matter who they were every single day), I was willing to be the Key P.A. (Production Assistant) on that show just for the chance to learn from those AD’s even though I’m in the Directors Guild of America myself as a 1st AD already. Worth the wages lost for the amount I learned, and I’d do it again any day.

[@iamtheiceman]

In the last second, when the fire starts, you see Juliette throw herself down on the ground. Surely, she is using her firefighter suit to sheild Bernard from the fire, as his suit would otherwise burn. So, I am sure that in season 3, both of them will have survived.

[@louisvarre2197]

Great use of the word ‘legacy!’ Smart guy!!

[@Turplemaple6318]

Just searched your channel to view this and it's uploaded at the right time lol

[@geekademy]

Awesome!!!

[@toddcuddington824]

re: the New Orleans reference - the army corp of engineers do a LOT of work on things like sea walls - critical infrastructure in New Orleans in the aftermath of Katrina.

[@carlie-10]

Great video as always!! Haha I’m also a 37 year old dinosaur 🦕 😂 I like how they ended it. I did cave last year and listened to the books. I thought the doctor survived longer but I can’t remember now 😂 I listened to 2/3 so it missed alot out of what I’d watched on tv. Only caught up now it’s at the end. Gutted it’s the end of season but it was great. Can’t wait for season 3. Hope you’re well thank you! ❤

[@geekademy]

Thank you!

[@117Derek]

I've been waiting for your video since last night when I watched the finale--twice! It was Good, not Great and did have some emotionally-charged moments like Juliette walking over the hill and back to Silo 18, and the inhabitants seeing her & crying & hugging. Wow! That was a payoff for two years of watching this show. I have NOT read the books, so I don't know how Juliette's return was handled. As for Bernard, I'll take your bet: I'm 99% sure he DIED in the fire. The A.I. has chosen Camille Sims as the new IT Head (if she can negotiate it with the Rebels). I've long predicted that Rob & Camille Sims will be "Macbeth" and "Lady Macbeth"--villians. BTW, in the epilogue scene there IS an important nugget when the Congressman mentions that as an Army Engineer he did some good things in Louisiana. There was a major hurricane that destroyed New Orleans, Louisiana--and the Army Engineers did massive reconstruction. A lot of which was on waterways, docks, and buildings. This is exactly the experience someone would need to build underground cities--or silos.

[@LovethisNation]

That scene was probably done that way not showing his death because they didn’t know, at the time of writing, if the actor would continue in the next season. It could very well be a status quo decision. If he leaves then he’s dead, if he stays then he’s alive

[@117Derek]

@@LovethisNation Good point. That happens a lot, and Tim Robbins is VERY expensive to a budget. But, this season Tim Robbins WAS the Star of the show; so if possible they should try to hold onto him.

[@LovethisNation]

@@117Derek I agree they should retain as many great actors as possible. They let go Juliette’s dad who by the way is an amazing actor too. If Silo wants a strong finish, it would be smart to retain Tim

[@geekademy]

Thank you so much for the information about Louisiana!

[@Turplemaple6318]

Just disappointed that they didn't show what the interaction was with the algorithm, wasn't it cliffhanger for episode 10?

[@ravenouscadaver8]

Yea I want to know what the directive was...

[@geekademy]

they keeping it for season 3 I guess

[@LovethisNation]

I am not. The directive will reveal everything in the story then the other seasons wouldn’t be fun

[@Turplemaple6318]

@@LovethisNation I'm too much curious to wait for another season, started reading book today

[@LovethisNation]

@@Turplemaple6318 you may regret that decision. I have the books but I can’t do that to myself lol

[@ShowTmRS]

Peaches are connected with From.Victor was Silo survivor.

[@geekademy]

Finally we know it all!

[@troydawson8606]

so if Victor survived Silo, and Solo didn't survive Silo, did Solo go to Fromwhere?

[@chimwemwemoyo9374]

@@ShowTmRS i totally see it all now 🤣🤣

[@chimwemwemoyo9374]

@troydawson8606 yes he ran away after discovering the information about his innie and ended up in fromville years later he found himself in the silos while still looking for his sister

[@Hobodeluxe007]

there are clues. from the peach in the intro to the Ga visitors bureau book cover. To the congressman from Ga. Pretty sure that's Atlanta's skyline in the horizon too.

[@raaghavchhabra]

Hey, just a thought. Could it be that the algorithm asked for Camille specifically because she is one of the agents from the main place. Like, from where the power lines come through inside the Judicial & IT? That might be the reason why the poison wasn't released immediately. And why Camille has been all shady throughout the 2nd season. I mean, she is clearly important. She could even be one of the founders. The technology is clearly really advanced. They probably could've developed better cryogenic tech to stop human aging for VVIPs like the founders.

[@geekademy]

I love the way your brain works

[@Dsrmy423]

They waited and had judicial come down so most of the raiders would be left in the down deep meanwhile they have a whole militia that was just escorted upstairs

[@ralphmourik]

When you mentioned 15 vs 14 Districts something just hit me... how many states in the US? 50! .... 50 Silos + 1 Silo for control or whatever the purpose. 🤔

[@erockondec]

The peaches i think is a Easter egg for us who read the books peaches for Georgia (Georgia peach)

[@MaryMc707]

The Dr. had to sacrifice himself because someone took the detonator. Juliet will be pissed, and she will find out who took it. I think that was the reason behind it being that character that sacrifices

[@geekademy]

The detonator (the timer) just fell when they carried the person. I have shown the screenshot

[@Hobodeluxe007]

I actually live in the 14th district of Ga. Unfortunately we have a crazy woman for rep.

[@geekademy]

Sorry to hear that)

[@mmaft5697]

Are you going to do Severance? New season?

[@geekademy]

Today

[@wandab3843]

Georgia peaches, duh.

[@vincentlorusso689]

I'm amazed that a guy as valuable as Juliette's dad would sac himself. Doctors have to be in incredibly short supply. I love Hank but he has less practical value.

[@microchipmindcontrol]

Especially just finding out Juliette is alive 😮

[@vincentlorusso689]

@microchipmindcontrol yeah that makes it extra tragic on top of confounding. He could have seen her coming over the hill if he let Hank make the sacrifice.

[@LovethisNation]

This seemed to be a decision surrounding the actor contract. It could have been anyone

[@vincentlorusso689]

@LovethisNation that makes sense. I sort of get why he would narratively have a death wish at that point too. It just bugs me that he highlighted how valuable he was to Shirley and Knox so shortly before sacking himself lol.

[@RustGeezer]

I bet you didn't know that Fred Savage and BJ Novak fathered a son.

[@JD-1991]

great plot let down by some questionable acting, and terrible pacing (this season particularly these last few episodes) IMO a LOT of cringe this last episode lol. Overall, I am eager to see more. thanks for the content :)

[@osmanski57]

Fallout tv show was better than the silo.

[@LovethisNation]

Um no

[@LovethisNation]

They could have ended the whole thing with Juliette and Bernard and not show us where the show was going just like they did with season 1. Why not let the people in the Silo figure out the past. Kind of disappointed in that sense.

[@JROB447]

Bernard overlooking the hand signals makes sense. He had a false sense of security And felt like there was no additional info to look out for

[@geekademy]

Maybe) I will think like that too) Thnx!
