Comment on Silo Season 3 Filming Finishes
lepinkainen@lemmy.world 3 days agoThe books do some book shit that’s won’t fly on TV, that’s why this season had to be like it is.
How they tackle S3 is going to be interesting, since the book for that was even bigger book shit.

I read the books, I don’t think it was quite this unfilmable.

Juliet literally wasn’t in a whole ass book at all

And?
They had other characters there, it built tension, but finally, HAVE SEASONS WITH LESS OF A BREAK!!!
Season 2 could have been cheaper without Reverend mother Juliet, it could have been a half season with all these supporting characters we otherwise don’t care about, and the 4 episodes could have ended with a teaser that she was alive.
They’re throwing so much bullshit at the wall while trying to make it ‘prestige’, that it takes years and we stop caring about the characters and plot.
Slow horses is the opposite of this, short, cheap seasons, but more frequent so you enjoy the plot progression.

Now imagine Slow Horses but they tell Gary Oldman to fuck right off for a season without pay.
TV doesn’t work like that.
For the same reason The Expanse had to shuffle plot lines around so that the main characters had screen time and didn’t have to skip full seasons
