Silos first season alsoended with a flourish.
Also like Desmond, this man greets his visitor by threatening to kill her.
I dont want to go too far with this comparison becauseSilois a very different show thanLost.
Finally, a faction opened up the airlock to charge outside, where they all died.
All of the sequences showing Juliette doing her best Indiana Jones impression improvising and exploring are truly terrific.
The other silo is a marvelous piece of set design visually familiar via Juliettes silo, yet in ruins.
Whenever this episode returns to her perilous journey, its a knockout.
Alas, thats not all that The Engineer is about.
These scenes are all fine, such as they are, and even poignant at times.
But could it have been a lot tighter?
Its not the best sign that the season-two premiere already has such a divided focus.
That said, the episode does have a gem of an ending.
He delivers a curt warning: If she tries to open his door, shes dead.
But he also says something that reminded me again of the best ofLost and the best ofSiloso far.
Its good when a mystery box show like this understands human nature.
Keep showing us new doors, absolutely.
But dont keep them closed for too long.

It sure seems like these folks were pretty pissed about the conditions in their silo!
I look forward to finding out why.
Welcome to the season-two coverage ofSilo!
