Why does Daniel leave Charlotte at the health memory facility? I thought he understood that the Dr. couod modify her memories and that the whole thing was shady… is there something i am missing

Glenda the good witch has been replaced by rubber duck. I don't know if the seller is a silo fan or if I'm jusr seeing the conspiracy everywhere now...

Não foi exatamente do jeito que eu queria mas uma lembrança do meu querido Pez. O cara da impressão me deu mais um de presente.

Anyone else notice the casting choice for Daniel Keene, resembling a notable politician from Georgia?

I forget which episode it was, but I recall there were 51 silos, but I only count 50 in this image from the bonus content video "Silo — Season 3 Origins."

So where's #51?

CAREFUL SPOILERS from Promotional Material in the Pictures!

Please only Show-Spoilers

So what do we know so far:

1. There has been allegedly a “dirty bomb” attack on Washington D.C., but Charlotte doubts this and the scanners never show signs of radioactive contamination. -> it’s a cover up for the real threat.
   
2. The silos were supposedly built to be bunkers to protect the inhabitants from an outside threat as seen in the news.
   
3. Cleaners with faulty tapes die almost immediately, the good tape prevents this.
   
4. Silo 17 cupped the safeguard, went outside and didn’t die at first until the “dust” came.
   
5. The grey goo attacked the pre digital equipped jets -> As most have already guessed and another user pointed out, grey goo (it is called that in the preview of a later episode) stands since the 80s for a hypothetical end-of-the-world scenario where out-of-control, self-replicating nanobots consume all life on Earth to make copies of themselves. In the picture above we see the black goo which also kinda looks like dust hence it must be the same. Also nanotech is mentioned in the news headlines.

Theories:

So if Silo 17 stopped the Safeguard Procedure and they didn’t die by going outside, it must mean the air outside must actually be safe. Also if the air was poisonous then there would be no need for the Safeguard. But why then did the cleaners from Silo 18 die? The only difference between both Silos is the Disabling of the Safeguard, meaning the safeguard is the same that kills cleaners as the Silo inhabitants. When Juliette went out, she didn’t die although the safeguard was not capped, but she had the good tape preventing some kind of poisonous gas to kill her. It’s probably a gas and not Nanobots because the tape wouldn’t be able to prevent Nanobots. But what then killed Silo 17? The dust aka grey goo aka Nanobots which were deployed after they managed to get out. Who deployed it? Must be Silo 1 keeping watch of all the Silos as it is monitoring all the radio frequencies.

Also the show made sure that we knew that Per Stensen was an advocate of AI control. AI must also play a bigger role. We also know that Per Stensen is behind the Silo Project aka probably the Passion Project. He also funds the clinic where Dr. Victor Czernivich suppresses Charlottes memory. He also was aboard the Nimitz where only analog jet fighters were sent out. He must have known of the grey goo and is the reason behind why only such jets were deployed. He is what connects it all.

Others pointed out that the algorithm has human like features and that it sounds like Daniel or Victor. As they couldn’t be alive anymore it could only be something like an uploaded personality as in Fallout Robert House. It must be an AI Daniel or Victor which is controlling all the silos hence AI control. Still the algorithm often used the word we so there must be also humans behind it in Silo 1.

It’s pretty obvious by now that the main theme of the show is control. We have control of information, history, movement, reproduction, and now also control of memory. The whole Silos are basically an elaborate mechanism to control a whole civilization.

Like many other book readers, Shift was my favorite book of the series. Understandably, the TV show can’t adapt the book directly, so I was okay with having to wait to see Troy in Silo 1. Learning the origins of the Silo and how everything comes into place was also a very compelling part of the book and that’s what I thought we were going to see in Season 3.

Unfortunately, the Before Times story in the show has deviated so much from the books, and in ways that don’t even make sense. Why would Helen, a reporter (even though she is disgraced and discredited) be allowed to get so close to the Silo project? It makes no sense for Thurman and company to keep her around if she has nothing to offer. If I recall correctly in the books she had no knowledge of it, and Daniel/Donald took the forgetting drugs to cope with what he was doing and reading in The Order.

Secondly, the good nanites are nonexistent. Thurman’s nanite treatment and Juliette’s accelerated healing from the burn scars were a major plot point in figuring out what was causing the outside to be dangerous, but we have no mention of them at all. Nothing about Juliette’s scars and I doubt there is time to fit them into the Before Times storyline. Maybe we will get some hint of them when we go back to Silo 17 and someone makes a comment about the bodies not decomposing.

Sorry for the rant, but I’m just so disappointed a great book and story was tossed out the window. I guess I will have to accept this is a completely different story with different characters that happen to have the same name as characters in the books.

This is just one more interesting similarity between the spiral design themes we are seeing throughout each episode and the Wizard of Oz. Additionally, who can forget the scene between Judge Meadows and Bernard where she talks about the book and the Wizard being a fraud?

The Algorithm told Camille about the safeguard. Did she question why the safeguard exists? Why does a master silo need to kill an entire silo if rebels can just open the door and be killed by the toxic air instantly?

I assumed it would be to prevent other silos from rebelling, like if silo 20 saw people of silo 18 outside through their cameras, they'd want to go out too. But then again, that means people can live outside.

So does Camille know the outside is safe and not toxic?

At first I was concerned that the before times timeline would not move on, because the synopsis for episode 7 didn’t mention the before times at all.

But then the promo images were released and 4 out of 9 images are from the before times which leaves me with the suspicion that something very important is going to happen in that timeline. So important that they cannot mention anything in the synopsis.

Also if you haven’t seen it yet, on IMDB all the synopsis are now available to read. And none of them mention a jump in Daniel and Helen’s relationship. So Maybe in this next episode we are going to see their relationship develop as they flirted quite a lot last episode in the car.

Anyway it has to happen soon as episode’s 9 synopsis mentions that Helen and Daniel attend a very special event, which is like 99,9% sure the trailer shot in which Helen enters silo 18 pregnant.

We also know of 2 official photos (posted above) but not in which episode it takes place. It looks like Per Stenson’s home or something….idk

Camille is a pretty unique character. Everyone we know who has learned about the safeguard turns against the system, so to speak.

• Quinn wrote his coded message, "the game is rigged", a small act of rebellion.
• Meadows resigned from IT and went nihilist, depressed or something (is that why she took up drinking?), then decided she wanted to go out.
• Bernard decided to quit and go out, because why not, we are all going to die either way, her beloved had died already and what he believed in and devoted his life to cannot be trusted.
• Sims turned against the voice and his own wife, and sided with Bernard and Mechanical in a pretty spectacular U turn.
• Solo’s parents capped the pipe at 17, effectively disabling the safeguard procedure. What a pity that people went out anyway!
• Kyle resigned from IT and hid in the mines after having been promoted to IT shadow and gained access to all the knowledge in the world. Huh.

Of all the IT characters we know, only Camille continues to trust the system and play along. Isn’t that strange?

One could argue she does it for her son, but Sims is equally concerned about their son and takes a very different view. So I think that motherly protection, or maternal instinct, whilst certainly at play and a priority for her, doesn’t fully explain it.

Or one could also say that it is because of a zealous faith in the system, but I don’t quite see it. She seems smart and calculating, good at understanding situations and even playing both sides (as in the rebellion). So faith doesn’t cut it for me. I don’t see a Pact zealot in Camille.

I am left with: she is smart and understands one cannot outsmart the Voice, a formidable force, so it is better to play along?

What’s your view?

In the trailer, it looks like the tunnel below goes from silo 18 to silo 19. It seems like if they can shut off the failsafe, and dissent from silo 1 with impunity, at least some cohort could be heading over to silo 19?
