This was so good. The reveal of all the other silos around them was kind of shocking.
The monitor deception is a bit confusing, though. They have this complex system set up to show somebody a fake reality when they step out of the silo, just so they can clean the camera? Is that it? Why not just let people out to clean and come back? If the world really is fucked, why be so secretive and controlling?
It seems like the people in the IT room should have known that image was a deception, and he actually reality was what is shown on the monitor to everybody.
Also, why did Bernard freak out and say “She knows”, like that’s a bad thing? She knows the world is fucked?
Ok, I have too many questions, and I assume season 2 might answer them. Or reading the book might answer…

It’s a trap for skeptics, so they eliminate themselves from the silo before they can cause bigger problems.
Skeptics see cleaners acting like everything’s fine outside and think it’s a signal that the official story is a lie. So they ask to go out themselves, seemingly confirm that they were right, and send the same signal to other skeptics inside.
I’m sure I just need to continue watching, or probably read the book. But it doesn’t make sense why the deception is necessary. I’m guessing we’re going to learn more about the revolution and why all the knowledge and history was lost as well as why curious people are a bad thing.
That is a bit better explained in the books. I recommend reading them. While the series is good, the books well deliver more content in some ways.
The concept of the fake view is to make sure people clean the lenses and to keep them wanting to be outside, eff killing themselves in front of everyone due to the leaking heat tape. This whole thing serves as an instant dead sentence, forcing people to stay inside and …. in check.
I think the deception of showing a clean planet also gives their last moments some happiness or peace before dying. It probably encourages them to clean but also not do anything disruptive or distracting.
I must have missed the multiple silo reveal. So did she really know the world is fucked? That rock projection part had me confused. It was a projection of the bodies right? Or was everything she saw fake at the beginning but she knew where the bodies were?
I’m so confused. I don’t understand if the world is actually fucked or not
When the camera zooms out you can see the shape of the silo underground, then it pans around and you see that same shape everywhere.
So, everything she saw was fake until she left the perimeter. The world was definitely fucked. I think placing the badge on the rock projection just told her that what she was seeing wasn’t real, and that’s it.
I think the tape they put on their arms lets in just enough air to kill them. But the tape on her arms came from mechanical, which is much better than the normal tape which is why she didn’t die.
Yeah I figured that tape part. But like, what’s the point of faking the outside during the perimeter just to kill them? That just has me really confused. Not completely sure how this show can continue but I’m def interested in what direction it will go

My only guess was so they would clean. They see everything is beautiful and think it just needs to be cleaned so people can see it.
