re: Silo (AppleTV) Season 3 Discussion *No Book Discussion*

Who in the world would be hiding Bernard and why? Obviously, Lukas knows and Lukas has spoken to the AI in the past….

Sims and Walker I think. Sims is clearly against the release of the memory drugs into the water supply and I think he was actually wanting to help Juliette there toward the end.

I don’t know if he’s necessarily on their “team” or anything but he seems to be turning against his wife and the AI so he and his son will remember each other. His main goal is to not have the memory drugs released to everyone

Obligatory “Common sucks at acting”

I have just recently started watching this show, and I thought I had lowered my expectations on him enough after reading some discussions here over the past several years.

I did not.

Starting to rethink my decision to keep Apple TV for this show.

At least we know it won’t be a 2 year wait before the next season.

I’m going to agree on much of the developments as they have unfolded, but does anyone else find it super convenient how certain things have played out? Shirley got in exactly where she needed to be, overheard exactly the conversation she needed to, but didn’t get detected by either Sims or his wife. Then she’s able to track Sims without him noticing. And arrive just in time to save Juliette .

And during the flashback with the congressman and reporter, it really annoyed me that they contacted his buddy then talk to him right out in the broad daylight where everybody could see them. Especially the mystery man who ends up making them an offer. They probably shouldn’t refuse, but of course they end up doing.

And the ridiculous decision by the congressman to go out looking to make a call and coming back with donuts… after their contact chess player guy disappeared, they have to know they’ve got Jack Bauer level people trying to track him down and he just wanders off into the nearest donut shop. So many of these inconsistencies are just bugging me.

Bump.

Finally getting some answers

Ok, Common is an awful actor. Really bad. But it is much easier to stomach when he is trying to play a sympathetic figure versus a big bad. So there's that.

---

I was coming here to say the same. It’s an incredibly low bar, but this was his best performance to date for this show.

Hopefully we will get more backstory stuff than this week, though I understand why there was not as much this week. I did read the books but won't discuss that. But, I'm excited to see where this goes based on what I know.

---

I was expecting more progress by this point, but like you said, I feel like the back half of the season is going to be quite exciting.

Another solid episode. Glad that Juliette is finally getting her memory back. And we are finally starting to get some answers about the backstory.

My wife and I said the same thing about Common’s performance in the latest episode. Definitely his best performance to date but neither of us feel like he’s so terrible that it brings down the value or watchability of the show.

I thought it was some of his worst acting but I am pretty biased on his acting. Him getting parts is a mystery to me

He was decent enough in Hell on Wheels.

Who do we think took over the Congressman’s vehicle? The government or a Elon type big bad tech bro?

Probably both considering the conversation. The big bad AI tech bro was on the Nimitz during Charlotte’s ill fated sortie.
