im waiting to read the books so I can watch the show in complete suspense. I hope its the right choice. I also hope they don't adlib beyond the original story
@ATLeagle Definitely read the books first imo. I watched part of Silo S1 ... got hooked and then read the three books, and the short stories too before I returned to it.
Irrelevant stuff is things like Daniel was called Donald in the books, and they gender swapped Senator Thurman
Seasons 1&2 had some significant departures. The entire Simms plot line isn't in there. They don't know about the digger void. And some other stuff.
But this season is MASSIVELY different from Shift (book 2). It kinda had to be because unless the change really is radical as all hell, there's a reveal they need to do which simply would not work if you can see the characters as it was written.
So I'm interested to know where they're going with it.
Oh, and the flashback 21st century story is MASSIVELY different in the book, although the nature of the threat is the same, more or less.

in reply to The Drop Bear 2.0 • •@The Drop Bear 2.0 Yeah. The constant threats to murder 10,000 people are rude and make him seem like an asshole.
Ok, he's complicit in murdering billions, but ... well you know what I mean. There were circumstances.

I wonder how many people who haven't have spotted the thing with Troy? It's obvious if you know to look for it.
