Silo 1.10: Three Truths

Well, it's there in Silo 1.10 -- the season one finale -- but it's precious little.  The truth that we see, that is.

[Spoilers ahead ... ]

So let me make sure I have this right.  Juliet goes outside the silo, but she doesn't die, because the tape that Martha used to seal Juliet's suit sealed it from the poison gas that's just outside the silo.  But it's not in the air all the time. The world outside the silo is apparently not completely barren and dead (but see the next-to-last paragraph of this review).  The poison is sent outside by Bernard, to kill anyone who leaves.

But Juliet also discovers that what she's seeing outside, and what the people inside the silo are seeing outside, is an illusion.  The green grass and the birds -- illusion.  The former sheriff and his wife lying there, dead -- illusion.  But that raises even more questions.

Did Sheriff Holston and his wife die or not?  If they didn't have the protective tape that Martha provided for Juliet's suit, then, presumably they did.  But if they did, then why put up a bogus image of them lying there dead on the green hill?  Why not show them really dead?  And if they're alive, where are they?  For that matter, if they're dead, where are their bodies now?

The three truths are that Juliette is alive, the landscape is bleak, and there are many silos.

About which we'll no doubt learn much more in the next season, which I'll no doubt be watching and reviewing here.
