  1. I'm very much looking forward to this series and hope they do it right.  My Dad was a B17 pilot (96th bomb group) in the Mighty 8th.  He was stationed at Snetterton Heath working with the Royal Air Force.  He was also his squadron's commander & awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross.  He's gone now, but I'm very proud of my old man.

    See, as a dancer, I love the guest choreographers. I get a bit bored of seeing the same old Judy choreography and like it when they mix it up. They're some of the best choreographers in the industry so it's pretty cool to be able to take a class from them. Potentially, they could even hire you if you're really good at their style! To each their own :) 

    Same.  Plus you get to see just how versatile & well trained some of them are.  It's easy for a dancer to lose some training & technique when not being challenged doing less advanced choreo (ie: DCC style).  I think the guest choreographers help keep the ladies current and perhaps a bit challenged.  Just my 2 cents worth as a former dancer.

    But they've been on the inside watching other people clean. Do they think those people just didn't clean hard enough?

    I think maybe if "going out to clean" was so rare few people alive had ever seen it before, then the whole fake-out with the lush greenery would make more sense.

    My take is this has been an unusual amount of cleanings in a row and usually, it's more rare.  But I could be wrong.  Regardless, it's interesting the various takes each of us has.

  4. I keep remembering Holston's wife saying she'll clean if it's green. Most people may think if they clean good enough, everyone watching will also see what they're seeing.

    Another take to cleaning:  Those previous to Juliette perhaps cleaned in hopes no one else would have to go outside for several years.  Juliette's choice not to clean fits her personality, being an obvious F you to Bernard & Co.  Plus she did tell Bernard she wouldn't clean.  She kept her word.

    The only people who see the pretty landscape are those who go out to clean and my guess is it’s so they will feel the need to clean off the camera to “show” everyone how nice it really is out there.

    This was my take as well. 

    As for the finale episode.....Loved every nanosecond. Her moment of "Oh my God. We never stood a chance!" down to knowing right where to place the old sheriff's badge. No wonder all the others "cleaned" but she didn't. Like Bernard said, "she knows".

    What a maze of several other silos. Theirs being #18 of many.

    She was being fed the lush green landscape in her visor. IT was the lie. IMO why everyone else "cleaned". The cleaners wanted everyone watching to see the beautiful landscape but it was a lie. The bodies were not a hologram. The fake lush green landscape covered her from seeing reality: the bodies in the toxic, barren landscape. Until she was far enough away from however the feed was being fed into her visor.  This was the series ending's big twist. I also think this is why she fell. Have to watch again but think she tripped over a body part near the tree. She then figured out the lie she was being fed through her visor and left the sheriff's badge on his body.

    Enjoyed the gang here checking out the show each week and reading your take on each episode.  Hope to see you back for season 2.

    It's going to be a long wait to 2024. May dive into the books.

    I did want to talk about Rebecca Ferguson and Chinaza Uche. Ferguson is masterful at showing anxiety and trying the hide emotion. She was phenomenal at it in Dune and she's really great at it in this. Uche plays Paul so sympathetically to me. Everything on paper says I should hate Paul, but gosh darn it, I root for him every time to switch sides. Even when he burned the book (which is unforgivable) I was still hoping against all odds, he would start looking for answers. The acting on this show is good, but they're the standouts for me along with David Oyelowo when he was on the show.

    Right there with you and thanks for stating it much better than I could.  Without over doing it, Ferguson and Uche are acting the heck out of each of their roles. 

    Although I've enjoyed the show, the season has been a slow burn for me but definitely picked up.  I'm sad we only have one more episode to go.

    Correct. And I re-shared it here as @Zaffy, who either hadn't seen the news, or had forgotten, was concerned about how the writer's strike would affect S2.

    Copy you.  My understanding is that is what the small talk thread is for.  🤷‍♀️

    The second season is completely written. Hugh Howey (the author of the series, and an EP on this series) said the second season was written before the strike, and they have already started filming it.

    Correct.  I shared this in the small talk thread.

    The moment the power was off, the window landscape at the cafeteria changed to green/blue sky for a second and people seemed to noticed...

    I SAW THAT OUT THE WINDOW TOO!!!  Thanks for letting me know I wasn't having a mushroom flashback!

    Episode 3 "Machines" planted a lot of seeds. It's going to be a long wait until next week's follow up. I'm happy to report I'm still very much enjoying this show.

    I think the poison is in the suits. (Not a spoiler, this is pure speculation as it’s been awhile since I read the book)

    I've been wondering if something poisons them while cleaning.  Something not in the field of vision of those watching.  But your idea makes much more sense.

    I was having a wee bit of Hunger Games District 13 flashbacks during the Freedom Day speech.  But I like dystopia and from the first two episodes, I'm intrigued enough to continue watching and see where this is going. 

    I'm a Tim Robbins fan so not sure how I like him in a darker role than his Shawshank character (that being one of my all time favorite films).

    Speaking of keeping a tight lid on the banquet.

    It looks like McKenzie did not attend. I guess that makes sense since her wedding is in her hometown this weekend.

    I have not seen one photo (or post) from Jalyn, Kelcey, Ashlinn, or Lea. I can't image the first group leaders not attending, but I am curious if anyone else missed the banquet besides McKenzie.

    Here you go.
