SILO Season 2 Ending Explained! Season 3 Theories, Mysteries & More!

[@ThinkStory]

Just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone who watched my breakdowns this season. I'm covering SEVERANCE now if you want another great show: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gmKUYoKiZpqVr8k

[@banyurachman]

no, WE THANK TO YOU! Continue to Severance? Let's gooooo!

[@1chrisford]

Thank you for doing the recaps for Silo. Great sets, great writing, Rebecca Ferguson and Tim Robbins as leads with some good supporting cast - hopefully made this show a very enjoyable one for you to cover. See you in Season 3 I hope. I remembered as I was watching the thing switch to contemporary Washington, DC and utterly confused - Oh yeah firefighters suit! Juliette still lives!!!! Yeah! and as she was going down, she might have tried saving Bernard, by covering him in the incineration - or at least half of him given the size difference. The title is a laugh because that is just what Juliette got chucked into at the end. Looming in the background, is the city skyline - and no one knows what happened there. Save the brief view outside, and climbing through skeleton city - the show has been contained inside just two Silos.

[@Tavi78]

Maybe i’m overthinking this but the way the show just “cuts” to the “normal world” felt so jarring and out of nowhere I almost felt like I had accidently flipped on a different show somehow. It really speaks to the shows credit in the ability to immerse the viewer that ONE shot of a “normal” street felt so incredibly off kilter. It’s like we’ve all been “living” in the Silo with the characters and have already gotten to the point where seeing such normal life would feel as equally shocking to us as it would the Silo’s inhabitants.

[@natecaplin4374]

It’s really weird the big differences the show continues to develop from the books, yet still manages to end up at some of the same key events, just by a different route. Without spoiling anything in the next season, a key curious difference is that despite Jules and Bernard ending up in the airlock together when the sanitizing fires start, the entire circumstances around how and why are totally different. In the books, Lucas doesn’t quit his IT shadow position. In fact, in the books, while Jules was in Silo 17, they secretly communicate with one another over the radio and they’re both in their silos’ respective vaults; Bernard finds out and sentences Lucas to clean, which Jules learns about by radio from Walker who also manages to assemble a radio to communicate with the other silos. Jules rushes back to Silo 18 not to stop a war but to save Lucas, to be there when he comes out. But when she gets there the fires happen and only then does she realize it’s Bernard.

[@nathy0308]

That is so wildly different! I like what the show did with it and I'm also intrigued by the book's version

[@natecaplin4374]

….the reason it’s Bernard in the airlock instead of Lucas who Bernard hawks sentenced to clean is that Paul the sheriff turns to the side of the rebellion as he is escorting Lucas to be put out to clean and forces Bernard out instead, but as readers we don’t find out until Jules discovers the person she is trying to save from the flames is Bernard instead of Lucas who she expected it to be. And in the books there is absolutely no discussion at all between Jules and Bernard when they meet in the airlock, no gun, etc. Bernard wasn’t going out willingly. Also, Sims’ wife being elevated to IT head doesn’t happen either.

[@natecaplin4374]

@@nathy0308Also interesting is that the show paid a lot of attention in last couple episodes to the Safeguard (not called that in books but basically same thing), but in books, the safeguard isn’t revealed at all until midway through the second book, Shift. Clearly the showrunners wanted to hook viewers on this key threat as a cliffhanger now and also hint at the excitement of expanding the universe now by sneaking in the DC scene at end, which is actually set in the time of the second book, Shift.

[@SilverCyric]

In the book she had a blanket to survive the firestorm thinking she was saving Lucas. She couldn’t understand why he kept trying to run away, and Bernard got cooked. I’m interested to see how this way plays out. I’m thinking he either in a weird twist covers her and he saves Jules, or they both survive, by it being shut off for some reason or other and they keep Tim Robbins on the cast. 🤔

[@natecaplin4374]

@@SilverCyric yeah, I wonder too now whether the show will pull a real stunner and have Bernard survive and somehow ally with Jules etc so as to keep Tim Robbins on the show for the next 2 seasons. If they are at all true to the books, we won’t be seeing any more of Bernard at all.

[@rossgrimes3478]

wow! Had goosebumps when Jules came running over the hill!!! So glad it ended with a nod to the Shift book, I think S3 & S4 will jump back and forth between the two eras. Brilliant episode! Same as S1 where the last 2 episodes are on fire after season long slow builds. Rewarded! Bring on S3.

[@tnijoo5109]

I think Camille is more peaceful and empathetic than most people might have been even though she used to be a raider. She could have attacked Juliette from behind, but she gave her a chance to leave. And then she saved the lives of the two people everyone else was after. She didn’t join in their angry hunt or share their mentality. She’s a peacemaker.

[@ChrissyBeTalking]

Me too. I love watching an entire season of a show and not knowing. #sigh lol! We sort of know that it’s not safe because Juliet wouldn’t have worn a suit. I think it’s safe for a bit and then “they” pump gas into the air when people come outside. It’s probably AI gone wrong, but I still don’t see why it made the head of IT feel like it didn’t matter to keep people inside? If he thinks, it’s not safe outside, which he has too because he’s wearing the suit. smh! I do give them props for letting us see the people in the Silo see Juliette. I would not put it past them to cut it off right before she got to the silo and make us wait until next season to see if she got up, which is sort of what they did with the fire now that I think about it. #sigh

[@anolive7535]

some sort of radiological event occurred (dirty bomb? maybe nuke?) since we DO see a ruined city in the background and the "dust" blowing is what (according to Solo) killed the people that left Silo 17 (dust being the radioactive fallout of a nuke). the immediate area surrounding the silos are DEFINITELY not safe, but perhaps elsewhere it could be fine.

it is safe but for a specific reason they can't go outside

[@WaylandYT]

Love letter indeed I practically popped out of my seat when it cut to that rainy street. Gotta hand it to them for sticking to their guns and not tossing up a location card with the date. It was just what I needed to look forward to the next season because for a while I feared Shift was on the chopping block since it is a major departure setting and cast wise from Jules' story, and production budgets are a thing. They proved that it is possible to spend some time away from Juliet and Silo 18 with this season though so I agree with Think we will probably see both plot lines side by side next season.

[@dankcoyote]

Theory: Maybe they can actually breathe outside, even if it is a wasteland that’s uninhabitable, the other silos would see people on their screens and every silo would rebel ruining humanities chance at repopulating the earth. My question is: is it really unsafe outside or is the silo poisoning people as they leave the silo. For some reason it pumps some sort of gas into the holding cell before the outer door is opened. I’m not 100% sold on the outside being so toxic that it kills people within a minute. Radiation doesn’t work like that. What toxins could be in the air for over 300 years? A nuclear war/false flag could be a method for wiping out competition on earth and repopulating it with your own peoples and govt in control. It would require a long term plan and the silos were clearly well thought out. I’m stuck on the fact that if any other silo saw a person on their screens it would cause their people to go outside and I believe the silo is killing people on their way out, not the outside killing them.

[@Goldgirl1020]

theres a pump outside hence what they referred to in the maps and trying to find where it is located and where it leads too. theres definatly something pumped outside if bulk people go out and yes i believe the gas is poison on the way out too that seeps through the weak tape...we shall see. its not radiation that kills them though. u will see.

Like a crockpot slowly cooks, infuses flavours and tenderizes everything that's put into it, that same method was employed to present this second season. The sum of what led over ten episodes to the season's penultimate and finale, was greater than its parts. And what a meal, they delivered!..People who complained about how nothing was happening, how it was boring and how the story was marking time can stuff it. More's the pity for them, if they couldn't or wouldn't see the excellence in the writing. Graham Yost and his Silo writers room slow burned it, concentrating on solid character development and progressing the main arcs at the pace they deserved. They did this, regardless of viewers who were anticipating big *wham* moments and action set pieces which they didn't get --until the narrative dictated the time was right for them . A great 2nd season with no sophomore slump in evidence, imho and that final 5 minutes --was a chef's kiss. Bring on season 3! 🤗🤗🤗

You left out the fact that when Juliette puts up the note saying “it is not safe outside” we only got the camera view that Bernard was watching not the group of people in the cafeteria.

[@chelulehillary6266]

​@amerazlan4237 An interesting view, but I would beg to differ. Actually Bernard was at the Sheriff office, and the screen he saw is the one just outside the Sheriff office, on the hallway to where those who are being send for cleaning are held. Actually the first Sheriff looked at the screen as he was preparing to go cleaning!. Unless you are saying that the founders knew where Bernard was and manipulated his screen to show the real message, I think everybody got the message that it's not safe outside.

Everyone who encountered the truth about the safeguard has given up on life. Even George committed suicide. Lucas, Benard and Meadows had this same resigned slumpy walk.

I think due to the way shows can be binged it has "ruined" weekly show releases and complaints of being slow. I agree there were some slower moments though they are trying to get two seasons out of one book. I have stared Wool not a fan but I am happy for the differences as well as character development. The complaints about the dark are valid maybe write in some crank powered lamps just to give some lighting though having an OLED TV defiantly helps.😅 keep up the great work Think Story

[@jaminschmitt]

The slow burn approach can work if done right. The way they did it here, though, only dragged out the show. Every scene needs to either develop a character's arch or move the plot forward. Many times, however, we were simply at a standstill as neither of those two things progressed.
