Ending was kind of frustarting for me, didn't explain much. I guess they want to leave everything for season 2
I've seen some discussions on the show and everyone obviously talks about the ending, but I'm still wondering why the displays in the bunker, before they turned the power off to fix the generator (which somehow doesn't need the steam to go through the turbines either), showed the fake projection of a healthy outside world. I get it that they use their magic space tech to show that within the visor of the helmets, but why would it even be part of the displays at all? And why the hell did no one react to it? We saw that people saw it, including that cop lady, but absolutely no one even mentions it after it happened throughout the whole season.
I know nothing of the books. Is there a screen inside the visor when they go to clean? I'm trying to figure out how it looks like it glitches to them. Obviously it'll get explained but just curious what others think.
This is what it looked like to us. The visor has the happy landscape screen but it’s actually a wasteland outside. It kinda looks more augmented reality than just a flat image though.
Which is weirdly more advanced tech than what we have. They also had modern flat screen monitors in that little room, while the rest of the silo seems to be more at an 80s level tech era. I don't know whether that's lazy writing or whether they intentionally made the silos this way for some reason though.
Im not sure whether it was intentional, but I didnt get it. At the end it seemed that she struggled with something, then she placed the sheriff badge near the corpses and then she could stand again. And then she looked at the tape on her arm and said "theyre good at supplying".
What was is it in the end? Did placing the badge jam some sort of signal that shouldve killed her? Or were the usual tapes bad on purpose, and they gave her one that in fact seals the suit?
The tape is normally made to fail.
That's why Jules stealing the tape from IT was a big deal. Not the loss of one roll of tape, but because she found out ITs special tape sucked, even though it was supposed to be top grade. It was really designed to function for a very short amount of time. Just enough to clean.
The engine room peeps figured it out, and got supply to switch it out for engine room tape, which worked.
She tripped over the sheriff’s corpse, she placed the badge on the sheriff to honor him and a minor consequence of that is that the VR simulation can’t account for that so it slightly glitches.
The clue is that they’ve been using shitty tape to ensure all the cleaners will succumb to the toxic air within a few minutes.
Walk however arranged that the Supply department would deliver the better tape from Mechanical, this went unnoticed because they look very similar and ensured Jules would be able to survive.
