Please explain S1 ending
Firstly, I thought this was a great show, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Just shows what can be achieved with good writers and good actors. I must also confess that the twist at the end, I didn't see coming.
But I am struggling to understand it.
- I'm assuming that what we finally see, is in fact reality, and the Silo's displays do in fact show the true image?
- I'm guessing that the helmets have some form of VR display?
- But why? What could possibly be the point of deceiving people moments before their death?
- Why does Bernard panic, when he thinks Juliette "knows", and go madly running to the servers to shut it down?
- WTF is with the "cleaning"? Why does everyone just stare at the camera and then clean? If they think they're looking at paradise, why not make a sign or mouth words to the camera???
- Where are all the other dead bodies? Why is there only the Beckers?
- What's with the tape? Are we supposed to believe that they deliberately seal the wrists and ankles with dodgy tape, so that people die quickly? I can't believe that substandard tape would be a reliable method of ensuring a timely death.
