Mindthinkr January 3 Share January 3 Color me shocked that Solo has been there all this time and had no idea about the other survivors in the Silo. Again I have trouble watching this due to the darkness. I turned my brightness all the way up, then things look unnatural. I get it. It’s dark down there. How do they even farm? Are there grow lights in stock to have lasted 150 years? I’ll been interested next week to see how Juliette talks her way out of being killed by the other women in the second Silo. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/151290-s02e08-the-book-of-quinn/#findComment-8545574

Speaking of being shocked, I’m shocked that all the commenters from last week’s episode that were commenting on Juliet not getting the bends, haven’t come back to say, “gosh I guess we should’ve waited to see the next episode before we started complaining? “ 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/151290-s02e08-the-book-of-quinn/#findComment-8546212

It did not. We just wasted more episode time with Juliette being underwater. At this point it is like a video game where Jules has to pass various levels. Level one, build a bridge. Level two, find survivor. Level three dive. Level four heal infection.

iMonrey January 6 Share January 6 I binged all eight episodes yesterday with Apple's free weekend pass. Don't know if I'll pay to watch the last two. This whole season has been very repetitive. It feels like the rebel storyline just goes in circles and so does Juliette. I'm very bored with all the political bullshit.

Then, why were you complaining that she didn't get the bends in the previous episode? If you didn't think that addressing that issue was worth addressing it... then why were you mad when you thought that they didn't address it? Let's cut to the core of this whole debate: This show is also a story about survival under dire circumstances. As a result... they are going to show them trying to survive under dire circumstances. That's part of its DNA. Edited January 6 by Charlemagne 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/151290-s02e08-the-book-of-quinn/#findComment-8547876

I complained because it is a bad way of storytelling and bad writing. According to the diving experts she could had probably die even getting to the bottom. But in any case, this was just filler time. Surviving is a part of the story , but it is narrated so badly and in an unrealistic way. She gets "beaten", one way or another, again and again and she seems like she is just fine. So, she basically survives because of the plot armor.. not her skills..

This never seemed to be a problem for the likes of John McClane, James Bond, Ethan Hunt, Indiana Jones, and a host of other male protagonists who get knocked around.

Like to the physics-defying raft scene at the beginning of Temple of Doom. So many movies and shows are filled with unbelievable acts of survival that to single this out as some sort of outlier seems odd. Also, try to extrapolate instead of trying to focus on a 1:1 comparison. Like when the hero gets shot - sometimes multiple times - and can still participate in a full-on fight scene afterward. The point - which you seem to be deliberately trying to handwave - is that film has a long history of male protagonists taking unbelievable amounts of punishment and then still being able to function. I get it. You don't want to give female protagonists the same leeway. Okie dokie. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/151290-s02e08-the-book-of-quinn/#findComment-8553683
tennisgurl January 13 Share January 13 (edited) I actually am surprised that there are more people in the second Silo, I would assume that Solo had no idea but he's so in his own world he might know and just hasn't mentioned it or really understood. Its more surprising that they're apparently the cast of a YA teenage dystopian novel by the looks of them. I was hoping that Juliette would be back at her Silo soon to really get things moving, but I do like the rather unique narrative where we know so many things that the characters don't know, most pertinently that leaving the Silo is a very bad idea, unless we get another plot twist about what killed the rest of Silo 2. Juliette being off in her own side quest does let a lot of supporting characters get more development, which I enjoy, but I was really hoping that we would have learned more at this point.
