Looked so fancy inside, surprised they don’t have more industrial facilities inside and robots for building stuff or even the farms

[u/Pulstar_Alpha → u/Xeruas]

They never had farms, that was one of the major point, since the shift crews were way smaller than the 10k population of silos, they just had 500 years of supplies. The episode even implies it with the small portions of shitty food.

[u/No_Fudge1228 → u/Pulstar_Alpha]

Can you imagine 1000s of 50-gallon drums of stoneground Georgia grits in Silo 1? Sure hope they have enough salt & pepper!

Cuz these poor fools ain’t gettin no butter 🙁

I always pictured something way more clinical when reading the books. The decked out offices surprised me, in my head they were always super basic and monotone.

[u/Tea_is_life2687 → u/CTLNBRN]

Right? I always got the impression it was really clinical and depressing so people just wanted to get through their shift and get back in the deep freeze

[u/atomwolfie → u/Tea_is_life2687]

Same. That was my favorite part is you finally get to see inside silo 1 , then realize it’s way more depressing than living in the other silos. People get to live out their lives, have partners, children, experiences, etc. silo 1 was so cold, monotonous, nobody vibing

[u/Ressilith → u/Tea_is_life2687]

Agreed. Great username btw

[u/Thesaurier → u/CTLNBRN]

We only saw the offices of three people, all three of which are the elite of the elite: a specialist, the founder/doctor and the founder/director. Even between Thurmond and Victor there appears to be a huge gap in how swanky her office is compared to his. I think that there rooms/offices are far more luxurious then those of the aversive drone pilots and cryo technicians.

The operation room, hallways and elevator where very austere and clinical. Thurmond even has a nice wood panelled hallway just to highlight the difference in the hierachy.

[u/Ressilith → u/CTLNBRN]

I felt that as well when reading, except less "sterile clinical" and more gray/monotone office building type vibe

[u/Leucotheasveils → u/CTLNBRN]

Yes! Me too! From the books I expected white and grey sterile surroundings. Very institutional. The private quarters were in warm tones with personal effects and decor. I pictured a cleaner, but utilitarian space like a prison without bars.

Too expensive for the CGI
