all the repair shit was dumb, like turn it off, do a bit of work, turn it on, repeat. We all knew everyone would survive and the machine would get fixed so just felt contrived.
Speaking on this when the power went out the outside was green for a second as it switched to back up generator.Mixed episode that was mostly a self contained storyline with the repair, but sufficient tension to keep it interesting. And it still moved the plotline along with her taking the job and the Mayor presumably being assassinated at the end
I just assumed there has got to be a lot more going on there since the black engineering chick mentioned how the Founders created a steam pipe system that generated the heat that basically drove the whole thing but they had no idea where the steam was coming from lol. That seems like a MAJOR fucking thing to not know how it works or worry about it stop working. Made me think a little bit about the giant pool of cave water the lead found last episode.
They went into a bit in in the first episode - the official line is that they lost almost all of their records, tech manuals and the like in a worker uprising.
Coupled with rising class warfare making working in 'Mechanical' less desirable, the engineers are all woefully under-qualified and don't really know what they are doing.
like a game of broken telephone. Its amazing to me any of it works at all.
The lore remaind shrouded in mystery for a good while. The why of, why things are set up the way they are, comes out toward the end... and Im the follow up series....and the capstone novelI never look up spoilers e.g.for something like Game of Thrones but this makes me want to look up the lore of the silo etc
Is the show likely to explain much lore any time soon?
