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…
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.
