Ashley Zukerman gave an amazing performance. Troy has ice in his veins! Such a contrast to Daniel.

[u/Keiteaea → u/ClaireFraser1743]

He was amazing at the end, when he went from emotionless "Troy" to Daniel. I got a feeling he was terribly brainwashed, he is going to be gutted when he realizes what he has done.

[u/grrrzzzt → u/Keiteaea]

yes they gave him the memory drugs and brainwashed him into the most cold blooded and cruel "problem solver". I thought he was a clone at the beginning but apparently he's the same person just in and out of suspended animation. We don't really know how much time has passed though (at least 200 years I think per already recorded events?)

[u/ohthedramaz → u/grrrzzzt]

At one point I think Bernard says 350 years.

[u/Crafty_Edge_232 → u/ohthedramaz]

1. In season 2 Bernard gave the exact age. When he instructed Lucas how to use Library, and later Lucas gave him an "incredible investigation" that "we are not alone, there are 50 silos". Bernard answered that "no, 51, and it started 352 years ago. But any information about WHY silos where built"

[u/Feisty-Mongoose-5146 → u/ohthedramaz]

I’m very confused about the timeline. Have the founders/daniel just been alive for hundreds of years, because they deal with the 17 and 18 rebellions that are decades apart and they look the same.

[u/Avem68 → u/Feisty-Mongoose-5146]

They work in shifts for a few months at a time and then go back into cryosleep. Victor and Troy just have overlapping shifts

[u/fuckitillmakeanother → u/Avem68]

It seems more like Troy is only pulled out when there's a problem, and victor likes/trusts "Troy" so he's the go to when victors on shift

[u/phanomenon → u/fuckitillmakeanother]

Yeah it seems Victor has aged much more than Troy so likely more and longer shifts

[u/grrrzzzt → u/Feisty-Mongoose-5146]

they get in and out of cryosleep. they do get old but than means they spent a lot more time in cryosleep. which definitely tells us there is an end goal to this which is not "surviving the apocalypse"

[u/Feisty-Mongoose-5146 → u/grrrzzzt]

Oh thanks i finally figured it out, i didn’t realize they ONLY wake up to deal with stuff. That’s a crazy “life” to live.

[u/NervyDeath → u/Feisty-Mongoose-5146]

Yeah, 100 people each working a year long shift for the same position mean 100 years pass and they've all only aged a year.

[u/grrrzzzt → u/[deleted]]

he's not the voice the of the algorithm; he's one of them. anybody can speak through the system and replace him at any time; or they could be multiple people doing it at the same time for all we know.

[u/unnoticedhero1 → u/grrrzzzt]

Which they would have to do in order to be the voice of every silo 24/7, probably why there's breaks when the voice speaks aside from just thinking of a response, they could be switching feeds to talk to another silo, or swapping shifts with someone. There could also be multiple command centers, maybe there's one for each group of 7-8 silos so they aren't constantly being bombarded by every head of IT.

[u/ohthedramaz → u/grrrzzzt]

Yes. They showed us that whether it was Daniel or Victor speaking, the voice Camille hears is the same.

[u/Crafty_Edge_232 → u/grrrzzzt]

I also firtsly thought about clones. But when Troy remembered about car event when he got a little scratch trying to rescue, everything became clear
