Warning: Spoilers ahead forSiloseason 2, episode 1, “The Engineer.“Apple TV+‘sSilois filled with little teases that suggest what will happen in the coming episodes while also compounding recent events, and season 2’s premiere includes a music moment that ticks both boxes. With Rebecca Ferguson back to lead theSilocastas Juliette Nichols, the dystopian sci-fi story continues the mysterious tale of the remnants of humanity clinging to existence on the surface of a devastated Earth. Beginning immediately after the events ofSiloseason 1’s ending,Siloseason 2, episode 1, “The Engineer,” also leaves things open-ended, but not all that unclear either.
Theending ofSiloseason 2, episode 1, has a surprising amount of dialogue, considering the rest of the installment’s present-day sequences are carried by an impressive physical performance from Ferguson. Without the flashbacks,“The Engineer” would be almost void of spoken sentiment. However, the deluge of words in the final moments isn’t just limited to Juliette and the unknown vault-dweller, as the lyrics from a classic composition also bleed into the narrative.
Audrey Hepburn’s “Moon River” Sounds Like It’s About Juliette’s Story In Silo Season 2
The body of water Juliette crosses is a stand-in for the song’s titular river
Juliette Nichols spends a sizable portion of the runtime in “The Engineer” trying to formulate creative ways to traverse the gap, which was once a bridge, to the new Silo’s only light source. After a failed rope swing, almost drowning after the fall, and a piecemeal bridge falling apart, Juliette finally achieves her goal - and even manages to come up with a more solid solution once her original ladder fails. Her exploits are perfectly summed up in the lyrical content of “Moon River,” which the stranger plays from the safety of his vault.
“Moon river, wider than a mile, I’m crossing you in style someday.”
Although Juliette isn’t crossing a river, the deep body of water at the bottom of the Silo could easily be folded into the song’s implied meaning. Getting across the gap also requires some incredibly creative thinking and immense talent, which would fulfill the line, “I’m crossing you in style.” Song choices are often agonized over in movies and TV shows, soit’s incredibly unlikely that “Moon River” wasn’t chosen for its artful summaryof Juliette’s endeavors in “The Engineer.”
1 “Moon River” Line Could Predict Juliette’s Silo Season 2 Future
Ferguson’s Silo character and the show’s newcomer could join forces
The second verse in “Moon River” continues to reflect Juliette’s journey, and could easily be predicting what will happen in the coming episodes. Specifically,Juliette’s dynamic with the stranger is probably what the lyrics are foreshadowing. The line, “Two drifters, off to see the world, there’s such a crazy world to see,” is too poignant to ignore. Both Juliette and the enigmatic man could easily be described as drifters, so it’s not beyond the realm of possibility that they manage to put their rough beginning aside and explore what remains of the world aSiloat a time.
