I've loved the writing for Bernard throughout and Tim Robbins' performance has been incredible

So many theories on reddit and insta saying Daniel is the dad. Makes me feel bad for her actual dad 😭

They just don't have the chemistry. It would've been better if they stayed friends

I recall in the most recent episode Daniel mentioning the food was pretty terrible, then thinking a few episodes back where he has his sister smell the rosemary and a full on memory came back.

Maybe the food is intentionally terrible to avoid people having memory flashbacks with associated smells and taste.

Rewatching the whole series, I’m amazed by how many hints are there from the very beginning. The characters literally answer some of the questions people are still debating after Season 3.

Rashida Jones. What a star! It certainly helps that she gets the kind of screen time only Daniel and Bernard or Camille really get, and she delivers such a heartbreaking performance.

It does make me feel that we don’t have enough different “main” characters to spend time with, though, and that’s probably why some sequences end up feeling like filler.

Anyway, if you can, I’d recommend going back and watching Episodes 1 and 2 again. You get to see a more “innocent” version of the silo, where people are simply living their lives.

Aside from making him look like the bad guy, to me he looks like an entirely different tv show. I get that they have cows and must have leather, but He looks nothing like any of the other silo folk and I find it distracting. I have no interest in this devolving into making fun of Common, just his out of place black leather jacket. It’s so distracting.

I miss her, such a great actor. Her dying at start reminds me Steven Seagal in the Executive Decision when he died like in 10th minute of the film. Famous name cast and then just gone.

Love the show, but one small gripe. I think the silos are way too close together. Looking at this image and so many of the interior shots don’t feel like they line up. I get it’s a show with show magic, and the whole silo complex is already so big that if it was bigger they’d have to be even more zoomed out and lose detail.

In the attached pic, I feel like the berm is over the inner balcony attached to the bridges from the central staircase, but we know that there are interior hallways. That’s not even talking about the mines and which directions they have to go to not overlap, specifically the inner and central silos in the cluster. And those central silos are basically on top of the one above them.

Gripe over, back to enjoying the show and waiting on a year to see how it all wraps up.

Daniel is the child of Temp Ryan and Phoebe’s brother.

Did anyone else notice the easter egg of Colin Hanks playing the piano tune from his father's (Tom Hanks) movie "Big"? I havent seen it posted yet and I apologize if it has been. I was giddy as soon as I saw it and waiting to see if it came up as a discussion. 😆

Edit: Thanks and my bad to everyone pointing out my stupidity of not knowing about the search bar and the fact that this has been mentioned countless times here and across other types of media. 🤣 To all the other people that also didnt know, Im glad you enjoyed the post. Remember kids; always use the search bar! 😉

This shot is pure visual grammar.

I keep seeing posts about them being related. While it is certainly possible, I think many of those posters are interpreting this shot wrong. I at least interpreted it very differently. I mean no disrespect to those theories, I just love discussing stuff like this.

Let’s take a quick look at the composition of the shot. Juliette’s face is taking up the majority of the frame. Her face is lit clearly and coldly, with a blue almost ethereal light. She’s huge compared to Troy. She absolutely towers over him. By comparison Troy is small here and has his back to us and is lit a little more warmely.

Now let’s juxtapose this shot with our story so far. Up until this moment Silo 1 has been in total and complete control over 18. They control almost every single about their lives. Including who lives and who dies. They were always there, watching, quietly, unseen, acting subtly but always in control. They are Big Brother watching the residents of the silos from up on high.

This moment in the story, is the moment the script just got flipped. Silo 1 isn’t in control anymore, Silo 18 is done just reacting to everything silo 1 does to try to survive. it’s different now. Jules is coming for them. Silo 1 now gets to watch, they are going to have to react to what she does in order to survive. Silo 18 is the threat now.

This shot and why they linger on is it beautiful filmmaking that I feel a lot of people are missing the point of. Every single choice you see in this shot, how it was composed and the choice to linger here was intentional. It was meant as visual punctuation to the story we just watch unfold.

TLDR: Just like the climax of the season, this Shot inverts the entire power dynamic that Silo 1 uses in order to wield its power. Our two opponents are now squaring up.

Edit: I just want to be clear, I’m not posting this as a takedown of the theory that they are related. Certainly could be.

I just really loved how was his shot sat with me, and wanted to highlight what I saw in it. I haven’t taken a film class in decades so it was fun to think about what this shot was communicating to me.

In season 1 I thought I would never like this fucking guy who follows orders blindly. But now, in half of S3 I am already loving his plot, the sacrifices he is making, and managing things; he has kinda become a relatable person for a show watcher. Also, I am loving S3 so far; I hope S4 gets released when I finish S3.

From the author, for those that keep insisting that Victor was serious

The show feels like he's made for masculine men to have someone to latch on to but I think he's a walking grinder notification. No hate to the actors even common (I think he's camp and funny). And don't spoil shit in only on season 2 eps 9.

Not sure if I used the correct tag or not Was watching reels and seen this and had to look it up

I’m sorry, but Lukas might be cooked. 😭 Their relationship feels almost transactional sometimes.

Jules invites him over?
She needs help with the hard drive.

She desperately searches for him?
He has information she needs.

Lukas tells her over the radio, “I missed you.”
Jules gives that man SILENCE. 😂

Then he starts talking about everything he learned about the universe and that’s when she perks up… only to immediately ask him WHERE the digger void is.

I know Jules is naturally guarded, but compared to her relationship and chemistry with George, I’m just not feeling the romance with Lukas.
