I’m enjoying this AMC show so far - and would say it is the best SF airing currently - that I am aware of.

I have not read the books but my SO has read the first of them and is also enjoying it. She can’t recall a great many details from the book though - her memory doesn’t work that way.

One tiny point that I am curious about - a detail that my SO doesn’t remember - is whether the characters who have seen the Pez dispenser actually recognise duck as a duck? Do they know what ducks - or birds in general - are?

From episode 1, IIRC, it seems to be suggested that they did not understand what the things flying in the sky in the outside world were.

Anyway - what are your thoughts on Silo?

    My guess is that they don’t know what a duck is.

    spoiler

    Judging from the sheriff’s reaction to reading the nature book.

    Oh I had no idea that Silo has a show! I read the first book and still think about it a lot. On the second one now and it is also very good so far. I will have to check this out. AMC is where it is?
