    This show is a slow burn but I love every minute of it. The tension, the sneaking around, the more people finding out they’re being lied to… So good.

    Really looking forward to some folks to discuss this with.

    spoiler

    Simms and his wife have their own objective? Is it just to protect their son, or is there another agenda in wanting to get Simms in control of IT?

    The water isn’t an issue in using the tunnel? If George went into the tunnel, why did he come back?

    Which of the Mayor’s bottles of old liquor are poisonous?

    Why is the green exterior video being repeated for each person who goes out?

      Some thoughts about your thoughts and observations.

      spoiler

      I think Simms and his wife just want to take over for Bernard so it’s possible they could kill him.

      I suspect the water isn’t an issue because it is not actually deep enough to prevent you from standing. It just scares the crap out of anyone in the Silo as nobody knows how to swim and being in this dark pit is deceptive.

      Interesting observation about the poison. It had to be Bernard that killed the old mayor.

      It must be like a recorded video from a camera. I don’t know how that would work with 3D directions, but maybe there is a bit more advanced technology at play here in the suits helmet. As we saw in episode 9 they have no concept of what a recorded video is and it kind of freaks them out.

        The 3D directions is actually already possible today. We can use Unreal Engine and accelerometers to move the camera within a virtual space.

        But didn’t she drop a flashlight or something in the water and it sank until it diapered?

    Had no idea one of my favorite book series had been made into a TV series.

    Into the backlog you go!

    just watched it, super hype episode.

    spoiler

    loved the cat and mouse chasing of Juliette and how they left the viewer in the dark for a bit as to where she is hiding, then for her to show up in Sim’s apartment was nicely done.

    so only one more episode in this season right? can’t wait to see how it turns out.
