"This moment, that I think is one of the most incredible moments of these first two episodes... It's having the two of them [Juliette and Holston] in a scene together, and it's that moment in particular where Allison is there with them, George is there with them. They're both connecting over the people that they've lost. And it turns out, those people that they've lost have a connection with each other. It's a lightning bolt, that moment... I could watch that scene over and over, just watching Juliette's gears turn." – Hugh Howey

I don't have apple so here's some of my screenshots of Silo (mostly of Juliette (and Shirley) or parts I find funny)

1x01: Freedom Day

this one makes me think of ''WHAT'S YOUR NAME?'' ''EZEKIEL''

the way she had to lean forward cos it's so loud in there

1x02: Holston's Pick

*cue the mission impossible theme*

1x03: Machines

I’m loving Silo, but this bit drove me crazy!

George’s note to Juliette starts: “Remember where you were the last time you saw this?”

But when Juliette shows it to Holston it says: “Remember where you last saw this?”

Is there *any* chance this turns out to be a plot point, like maybe Juliette didn’t want Holston to see the real note for secret reasons we don’t know yet? With each passing episode, it looks more and more like the props department just screwed up, and I hate it.

Silo is definitely one of those shows that makes you question the reality with which you're presented.

Holston Becker - Silo Series

Hello Tumblr! Welcome to 2025 :). This is my first painting of the year.

[waystelandmoved]

it had been two years since allison went above ground. two years since your life had unravelled at its seams, before you had to learn how to live again. [you were not sure you could: george's death only drudged up memories, questions that had no answers]. it was almost too easy, too clean cut to call it what it was, a jumper from a higher level, to close the case as quickly as it opened. it was as if juliette awoke something in you, like you had been sleepwalking the last 730 days. allison knew george, the writing on a scrap piece of paper all you had left of her, crossed out words, some repeats like she was onto something, figuring out the world around them. meeting juliette, the final days of mystery all clicked into place, and you knew how selfish you had been for staying, for letting the time slip by when you could have just taken a chance. — - juliette was a risk you had not taken in a long time.

“they won't.” george's hidden treasure trove, relics unknown to you, and you were sure to judicial— they put doubt into your mind, if allison had believed as hard as george, if she was right about what could possibly be out there.. you had to know. the love, the grief you still held like thorns around your heart: it's unendurable, stuck in the back of your throat as it swallows you whole. two whole years, and purpose has been found again. you would not find george's killer, you did not have the time, the drive to finish what has been started down in mechanical. there was something bigger now on your horizon, the very dregs of life in the silo was all that was left here, idle hands left only an idle mind and you were haunted by the past, the mistakes that you made whilst wife went out to search the plains, to clean so that all could see. you had made up your mind. “just— keep your nose clean down here. you'll know when i find something.”

@waysteland asked: ❝ about what we spoke about earlier…i’ll take it to the grave if i have to. ❞ + holston

a sigh of relief juliette hadn't realized she'd been holding slips free of her lips slowly; shoulders only slightly relaxing. the tension would remain no matter what. she trusted him, she did. but a part of her was so stuck on his status in the silo. he was respected. he could tell judicial all about the on goings of juliette nichols and her hidden room down below. there was a chance they'd think him crazy, sure, but eventually someone would come looking. her space would be further invaded. george's memory would be trampled into the metal beneath their feet. one word from him and she could end up in the mines . . . in prison . . . sent out to clean.

she couldn't let that happen.

but she had to keep trusting him. she had to. he was the only person who could find out the truth for her. he was the only connection she had to the higher levels. her father didn't count. he could be bullshitting her about the truth but for now, she had hope. he would find out what happened and send her word. somehow.

" thank you. " the words are soft at first before she shifts to adjust her stance; shoulders back a bit further, feet planted more firmly. all of this had exhausted her. but she couldn't let him or anyone catch onto that. " i don't exactly have many fans up there. if they heard even a word of what we spoke about . . . "

Silo on AppleTV+

With the season finale having been release on 30th of June, it is now possible to binge Silo on AppleTV+. If you enjoy themes of mystery, (found) family, post-apocalyptic society this show is up your alley. With a diverse cast of all ages and ethnicities, Silo is about an underground community, living in what they call the Silo, who cannot leave lest they wish to die of the poison air outside. Our protagonist is the Sheriff, both of them.

The story first detours through the eyes of Sheriff Holston Becker who has an ideal life: a good career, a smart wife whom he loves dearly, and permission to have a child. Our first episode concludes with our first sheriff in a very different place. What I will share is that their legal structure is laid out in something called the Pact. There is one law above all others that is always upheld: If someone asks to go outside, they must go outside.

Our second Sheriff, Juliette Nichols, replaces Holston soon into the season. She is intense, hard-headed and intelligent. Her curiosity becomes a driving factor for the rest of the season, setting her on a path to learn more about their underground home and possibly the world beyond it as well. She is surrounded by themes of family, courage to the point of recklessness and social class. The Silo they live in is 144 floors, and the Upper, Mids and Down Deep have some tension despite each providing crucial skills and products.

General take-aways: strong female characters, complicated family relations, love is present across multiple storylines and the soundtrack does a wonderful job keeping you on the edge of your seat.
