Ok, they ended that a minute or two before I thought they were going to.
In the book, she worked out it was a lie before she went outside. They discovered the code for the display and noted that it was only 8192 * 2048 pixels: enough for a helmet, but not enough for the cafeteria view screen.

Was season 1 one book or only a section of a book? (IIRC there are several books in the series but I didn't want to spoil myself)

@Ozzy It was the first half of “Wool”.
How they choose to do season 3 is going to be interesting. The second book, “Shift”, takes place partially in flashback to our near future, and partly contemporaneously with the events of Wool.
The books are Wool, Shift, and Dust. Dust unites the storylines of Wool and Shift and continues immediately afterwards.

@Ozzy One thing they’ve changed from the books is the whole Simms/enforcers thing. It’s simply not in the book, where it’s all Bernard.
I suspect Simms is going to take on the role that Lucas (guy who looks at the stars) takes.

@Ozzy I think what happens at the end of Wool works better with Simms’ motivation. The way he does it with Lucas in the book is a bit 2 dimensional.
The question I’m wondering now is if S2 will end at the end of Wool, or about a chapter from the end. That would give them a nice cliffhanger, but if S3 is the first half of Shift, then none of it involves the characters we know (a lot of it happens pre-silo and we find out why they were built, who built them, and what it is that kills them when they go outside).
