Juliette: “Your generator is under water so how do you have power?
Solo: “IT has its own power source”
Juliette: “From where?”
WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER. THAT IS THE RIGHT QUESTION TO ASK!
By the way, Juliette, how’s that nasty wound on your arm?
It’s fun watching this having read the books.

And Solo and Juliette would be dead too were it not for the $THING

in reply to Kincaid • •@Kincaid Depending on how closely they’re following the books, we won’t find out this season anyway.
I have no idea how they’re going to adapt book 2 though. Book 3 is the sequel to book 1. Book 2 is part backstory and part book 1 from another perspective. It explains WHY.

I'm wondering if they're trying to get 2.5 seasons out of Wool at this point.
Which given the announcement, would make series three-four run at quad speed to a soundtrack of Yakety Sax.

in reply to Sarah Brown • • •they could easily do all of Shift in half a season with the main (Ferguson-containing) narrative from Dust more or less intact.
Dust (and Shift) are tedious AF, I can easily see the dross being cut.

in reply to A Spectre, Haunting • •@A Spectre, Haunting @Kincaid @kianryan ☑️🐙🏳️🌈 I'm really wondering how they're going to handle the backstory parts of Shift though. The whole, "WHY were umpty-billion people murdered?" thing is kinda important to the storyline.
I'm confused as to why the wound on her arm is getting worse.
A Spectre, Haunting
in reply to Sarah Brown • • •> WHY were empty-billion people murdered?
They *weren't*!!!
Atlanta was nuked, some of the surrounding area was nuked. The rest of it is all fiction.
There's no evidence at all in the books that the W.O.O.L. conspiracy succeeded in nuking the earth and cleansing everything. The only are the nanobots are active is in the area around the silos, because they're being replenished by the cleanings.
Sarah Brown
in reply to A Spectre, Haunting • •@A Spectre, Haunting That wasn't my reading at all.
Thurman wanted all knowledge of nanotech erased and the entire conspiracy was to do a Bene Gesserit for 500 years to raise a society that would never again create the tech. Thurman saw it as an existential threat to humanity.
He specifically makes sure that Donald is at the convention because everyone else is going to die.
It's never mentioned in the books, but I strongly got the impression that the Atlanta incident was a FAE. They look like nukes (see Beirut), and would convince everyone inside that WWIII had happened. Using an actual nuke would have been counterproductive because it would have irradiated your breeding stock.
Thurman was convinced that a nano war was coming, and on entry day probably deployed enough into the upper atmosphere to kill every human on earth. If there's anyone left alive elsewhere at all, then his entire project is utterly pointless.
Note that the vault exists, precisely to restart civilisation, because there's nobody else out there.
A Spectre, Haunting

that's thurman's concept, yes.
but there's no evidence anywhere in the text that he either unleashed a wider nano war nor that one took place regardless.
they got the people into the Silos, they destroyed Atlanta, and they released the nanobots in the W.O.O.L. facility. That's it.
Sarah Brown
in reply to A Spectre, Haunting • •@A Spectre, Haunting but then there’s no point to any of it.
It would be like sealing off Barnsley for 500 years to create a society that didn’t know about, say, plastic, and leaving a vault outside the sealed off area with loads of stuff in that nobody else touched because of the reason, and also you were so scared of your future civilisation knowing about plastic that you were willing to kill your self and your coworkers because you know about plastic, and by the way, the rest of the world is out there knowing about plastic and could rescue you at any time by just walking up and knocking and just decides not to, and by the way you literally have radios which you could use to call for help and they could hear you and you would hear them, and planes, which you would see in the night sky flying past, etc etc etc.
Humanity being dead is a central plot point. The entire premise makes zero sense if it’s not.

in reply to Sarah Brown • •“Solo, how do you know how many Silos there are?”
“What are all these servers in IT actually DOING?” - he doesn’t know the answer to that.
Also good questions to ask, but she hasn’t.
