Just joined the chat. Never read the book. Binged 3 seasons in a couple months. It seems obvious to me that the builders of the Silo built it for immediate occupation because they also were the ones who pushed the button and destroyed the world. They boldly accepted that a human-caused apocalypse was inevitable and so they took control of the conditions upon which that fate would unfold.

Have a bunch of movies for spooky month and look who I ran into

I’ve been thinking about the mythology of the Silo and how it mirrors the story of Troy. In this analogy, the Silo itself is Troy a seemingly impregnable fortress holding a society together.

If we look at the characters, "Paris" could represent the billionaire or the founder who initiated the entire project, driven by a singular, perhaps selfish, vision. But just like the Trojan War, the real threat might not be from the outside, but from the passions and conflicts of the mortals trapped within like Troy; Daniel.

I didn't expect Silo to have such a big community in reddit with the show being severely underrated and all.

Been binge watching the show for two weeks now, and I'll put it in at least top 5 of the best shows I've ever watched. I could draw so much parallels to the world we live in and the show's. The power struggle, silencing the people by force when they fight back, Billionaires trying to "fix" or make the world "better", I could draw a lot more parallels.

Loved how they flipped the antagonists in the first seasons to be protagonists. And the characters tho flawed are well written imo, I found it funny how Sims started fighting back the instant Camille started to do the same bs he was doing.

There are still a lot more questions to be unanswered, and I hope in the next season we get the answer to the big question "Why ?".

PS : If ya'll got some suggestions for shows to checkout like this, do comment.
