As a fan of gripping, character-driven dramas, I have to say that “Silo” has truly captured my attention with its intricate plotlines and compelling performances. The dynamic between Juliette and Solo is one of the most fascinating aspects of the show, as it portrays two individuals who are bound together by necessity yet come from such different walks of life. Their relationship is a testament to human resilience and adaptability in the face of adversity.
🎬As a dedicated film aficionado, I must share some intriguing insights about “The Dive,” the captivating seventh episode of “Silo” Season 2, currently streaming on Apple TV+. ⚠️SPOILER ALERT: Proceed with caution if you haven’t yet watched this gripping installment!😮
On the promotional poster for Season 2 of Apple TV+’s “Silo,” Rebecca Ferguson appears struggling to stay afloat. This image of Ferguson as character Juliette, partially submerged underwater, has been quite significant in this new season, serving as a foreshadowing symbol of the turmoil brewing beneath the surface. And this week, that tension reached its peak.
Juliette demonstrates an unyielding ability to tackle challenges, even making MacGyver seem redundant. However, she’s struggling to find a way back to her own enclosure after seeking shelter in a neighboring one that was overthrown by rebellion. Upon entering, she stepped over the remains of the previous residents. Now, she is deeply concerned about preventing any uprising that her sudden disappearance last season might have sparked among her people. Unfortunately, she has no idea how accurate her concerns truly are.
Only one inhabitant remains alive in the latest underground shelter, named Solo (Steve Zahn). He’s causing quite a fuss. Although generally harmless, he can be unpredictable at times – like now. Recently, he intentionally concealed Juliette’s oxygen suit, making it impossible for her to venture outside the silo and return to her own sanctuary. He insists that she assist him in reactivating the pump within his shelter before she’s allowed to leave, but there’s a problem: it’s buried under an impractical eight-story pile of rising water. To them, who are accustomed to living underground and unaware of other celestial bodies, reaching that submerged equipment may as well be a journey to Mars. They don’t know how to swim, nor do they comprehend the existence of such distant worlds.
However, with little alternative, as hinted by the poster earlier, it is Juliette who jumps or falls in this week’s Episode 7.
While it’s been over a year since she filmed Season 2, Ferguson still struggles to describe filming the underwater sequence. The production built a water tank on its immersive London set specifically for such a scene. But it is only so deep, and certainly not eight stories. That’s why the crew used inventive camera movements and cuts to make it seem as if Juliette is descending further underwater. It meant even more time filming in the water, and Ferguson says she is grateful for the dive team.
However, the setting must depict a diving adventure for two individuals who have assembled gear from fragments of a bygone era, thereby giving off an uncomplicated and non-technological vibe. In other words, this dive is neither modern nor straightforward; it can be observed on screen or in reality. Ferguson hesitates to describe the experience as enjoyable, yet that’s exactly what she means. She acknowledges that it was challenging to portray Juliette’s combined resolve and apprehension without putting themselves in actual danger during the dive.
She informs EbMaster that the regulator isn’t an ordinary one. Instead of delivering air through inhalation like usual, it pushes air directly into your lungs. This means practice is essential before filming with it, as it’s a bit strange and can be mentally disconcerting. It works by you biting onto something, which then releases the air. In simpler terms, it might feel like biting on something and getting a burst of air.
She mentions that, unlike regular breathing, you need to bite down and allow your lungs to fill automatically. This method sometimes confused her. Additionally, while underwater, she had to remove all her gear and quickly ascend, which isn’t typically recommended. Overall, it was quite challenging for her.
That last concept is something called “the bends,” when a diver returns to the surface too quickly and bubbles in the body can create intense joint pain, dizziness and paralysis. Solo actually explains this to Juliette before her dive, having read about the foreign concept of swimming in Jules Verne’s “10,000 Leagues Under the Sea.” Ferguson says this scene, where Solo is trying to caution Juliette about the dangers of swimming, is one of her favorites. Defiant over their strained friendship (he is blackmailing her after all!), Juliette hears his concerns and flat-out refuses to do the dive, saying he should do it on his own. He throws a tantrum, revealing he is desperate for her help because he knows he can’t do it himself.
She shares, “I recall playing out that scene, it was truly remarkable.” Steve delivered a powerful, emotional portrayal of Solo’s fear and his ignorance in that instance. He knew he couldn’t handle it, and he realized she was indispensable. Yet, she too relied on him to succeed. It was like a chain reaction, but who would initiate it?
Ferguson and the creators of “Silo,” who recently secured seasons 3 and 4, intentionally cast Zahn as Solo. Scenes such as Juliette’s helplessness in the face of Solo’s unpredictability highlight why this was a wise choice. As Ferguson puts it, “He truly elevates this series.
In spite of his innocent curiosity and short attention span due to ADHD, Solo shares similarities with Juliette. He has a strong sense of purpose, and during their brief interaction, they’ve been candid with each other. Juliette is aware that he’s concealing the truth about his identity, claiming not to be the real Solo. However, due to time constraints, they choose to set aside these secrets for later discussion.
Zahn confides in EbMaster that he feels these instances have strengthened their connection, being as they are individuals who aren’t naturally gifted in social interactions.
According to Zahn, when you collaborate with a friend or discuss matters together, your bond deepens. In other words, you can express something like, ‘Here’s what I find challenging about our relationship.’ You wouldn’t do that if it weren’t for the intention of improving things. Such interactions foster friendship and create a beautiful connection.
Ferguson concurs that the reasons behind their budding friendship are straightforward, but this incident serves as a crucial test of their trustworthiness. It’s evident that there are lingering uncertainties in their minds.
She describes their relationship as an ongoing game of ping-pong, where two people are merely trying to exist. One is desperate to leave, while the other relies on her for support. Their needs keep clashing, and this latest incident was the decisive blow that allowed him to achieve his goal and satisfy her desire. However, there’s a third element they haven’t considered, which has unexpectedly hit them both hard.
The third element she mentions could be a third individual trapped with them inside the silo. During a tense, dramatic scene in the episode’s finale, Juliette effectively resumes the pump to halt the flooding, then shakes the pulley and bells to let Solo know she needs immediate rescue. However, just as she readies herself for her climb back up, her safety lines are cut, forcing her to drown.
This situation could be seen as unforeseen events leading Solo to achieve his goal with her, only to abandon her later. Yet, Juliette miraculously makes it to the surface just in the right moment, propelled by the fury of deception. As she seeks out the possible traitor among them, all she encounters is a bloodstained path from Solo’s location to an elevated area. So, what became of Solo? Did he set her up, or have they both been under observation and targeted throughout their journey?
Ferguson isn’t revealing much, but she does concede that the upcoming last three episodes of the season will hinge on whether the peculiar bond shared by Juliette and Solo can endure whatever lies ahead.
She jokes that if we encountered each other at a bar, we likely wouldn’t exchange a greeting, making the situation all the more intriguing and endearing. However, I don’t wish to reveal too much, but what follows will be essential. The foundation of their relationship lies in necessity.
