Zaffy January 10 Share January 10 Best episode of the season so far, actually one of the best of the series, especially all the scenes between Solo and Jules. The season has been so bad till now, that someone could actually miss all previous 8 episodes and go directly to episode 9 without having any issues with understanding the story. Do we know if the last episode of the season will be double in length? It seems they must cover a lot of things, except if the season won't end with Jules returning/reaching her Silo. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/151369-s02e09-the-safeguard/#findComment-8551036
Quickbeam January 10 Share January 10 Good episode but most of it’s so dark it might as well be radio. Maybe it’s my tv? I need just a little more light in the sets. Love the ending. Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/151369-s02e09-the-safeguard/#findComment-8551213

tired and hungry January 11 Share January 11 Great episode. As others mentioned you can easily skip the previous eps and watch this one and it will still make sense. But one thing I don't understand, wasn't it already kinda implied from the start that Solo was just a kid when he was told to stay in the vault when the rebellion happened? That he has been all by himself for so many years. Or maybe it wasn't that big of a reveal for the viewer as much as it was for Jules?

I need just a little more light in the sets. Love the ending. It does make viewing this show difficult. I have to change my brightness to watch and then go back and decrease it for normal things. I’d rather see what’s going on instead of living in the same darkness that they do. After all, they’ve had time and generations to adapt to the lack on sunlight. I haven’t. I'm even surprised there isn’t much more depression in the Silo. Where do they source their vitamin D? 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/151369-s02e09-the-safeguard/#findComment-8553732

tennisgurl January 16 Share January 16 (edited) This was definitely the best episode of the season, but I had to laugh at Juliette being so shocked at Solo being a kid when the silo fell and that we were supposed to be shocked, it seems pretty obvious given how long its been since the silo fell and how he talked about other kids in the school. Maybe its not supposed to be a surprise to us, just to Juliette? Girl, you are an engineer, do some math. I really liked how it was handled when Juliette realized it though, and the interactions between Solo and the kid survivors when they finally all chilled out. Describing what music is like to someone who has never even heard of the concept of music would be so hard. Bernard has to know that he's backed into a corner, but he just keeps doubling down and is now alienating everyone who could still help him. I really do think that Bernard does sincerely think he's doing the right thing, but he's not accounting for the rapidly changing circumstances, if he wants peace in the silo and to keep everyone from trying to go for the outside, he's not doing it very well. Him trying to strong arm everyone is making it worse for him. So are we finally going to get a few answers? My new weird, probably not backed by any kind of science theory, is that the air outside is fine by our standards, but after so many generations inside the people in the silos cant handle fresh air? Or its something in their water that makes them only able to live in the silo?

tkc January 30 Share January 30 There's bonus content about Solo's vault that shows just how amazingly detailed the set is -- and it's well lit to boot. Too bad we can't really appreciate it to its full extent. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/151369-s02e09-the-safeguard/#findComment-8567774

Finished Season 2 (what a dark slog!) Mindthinkr... Sorry, but all the most glaring inconsistencies still go unanswered: - if everyone except Solo and 3 young'uns died in Silo 17, from where is the Silo getting power, lights, electricity and breathable air throughout? Obviously, there's no one left running the generator. Remember, judging by the rotting corpses at the door, it's been decades since things were up-&-running at 17. - with none of the above, how are Silo/3/baby producing food to survive? The take away is that the authors/showrunners are saying, "Lighten up, dude, it's just a TV show. As long as we make it flashy and entertaining, we've done our job." "I know it's only crock & bull, but I like it!" 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/151369-s02e09-the-safeguard/#findComment-8568989
PurpleTentacle February 2 Share February 2 So Juliette finally figured out what everybody else figured out half a season ago, that not-Solo was a kid when the rebellion happened. I thought she was supposed to be smart and curious? I mean there were no indications that it had happened recently. On the contrary, with the bodies being that decomposed and the water being that high... I also noticed that nobody seems to have a problem with the biggest problem you'd usually have with ground water. It's flipping cold and water is really good at transfaring heat. Juliette and Lukas should at least be shivering, if not freezing to death. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/151369-s02e09-the-safeguard/#findComment-8570194
KeithJ February 3 Share February 3 (edited) I don't understand the "leader" of the people in the other silo. It's been how many years since the rebellion? A new person shows up (a miracle in itself) and her first thoughts aren't "who is she?" "Is she here to help?" "Can she save us?". No, her first thought is "New person must die." And then the way she treated Hope? She really didn’t understand that Hope had nothing to do with anyone dying?
