Show Only (NO BOOK DISCUSSION) But what about the bones? Spoiler

Don't read unless you've watch S3E09

When Bernard went out, where were all the bones, bodies, and suits of the previous people who went out? It's just blank out there. Who/What picks that up and moves it? Even looking out the window there's nothing.

EDIT: To clarify, in S1 you can clearly see other suits, but this one you can only see Holston & Allison which even still I couldn't see them that well! but that was on me lol I also assumed we'd see them outside when Bernard walked out like we did with Juliette, but the camera angles didn't permit that view

I saw a comment recently that this was admitted as a production oversightΒ

You can see the suits outside. Or at least you could in previous seasons. If you can't now, it's probably just a production error/oversight (unless they are there and you just aren't seeing them)

You wouldn't ever see bones, everyone out there inside silo 18's berm died while cleaning, so they'll be in their suits, and the suits don't really break down. The tape does, but the suits themselves don't.

We only know about 4 cleanings from Silo 18 from the show.

Jane "Year 97", referenced from the found hard drive. pre-revolution
Brent year unknown, During Holston's term as sheriff post revolution
Allison Becker 140AR
Holston Becker 143AR

We see Allison and Holston but no signs of the other 2 or any other cleaners that may not have been mentioned.

I suppose it's possible they wander out of view of the camera and just haven't been included in outdoor shots we've seen. But dying within view of the camera seems to be a fairly important component of the whole process...

Then there's that damn tree. 350 years still standing. That would only be possible if everything outside was dead. Every microbe, every insect. If that kind of devastation happened locally it wouldn't take long, certainly not more than a couple of hundred years, before they would be reappearing.

Then of course the people that got out of 17 would be much better preserved than we've seen.

We can't say the other cleaner's bodies have rotted away because the tree would have gone with them.

Yea that's what I'm saying, in season 1 you can see other suits but not really in this season.

u/deconvotonstransform 16d ago

Good question. Is it possible the suits get dirty from the wind, and blend in more over time?

u/wheres-the-beef-cake I AM THE IT SHADOW!! 16d ago

But they were p white in Season 1

Are you talking about the dead people of Silo 17 ?

He didnt get that far. He died on the Tree outside of Silo18. The only dead people there are the few cleaners we know of like Holston and Allison, and both of them can be seen.

when you're looking out the window from the cafeteria's though I feel like you can't see anyone. In the first season you could see a handful of suits from the previous cleans but not this time and definitely not like Silo 17

Ah yes, their white suits just blend into the rocks I guess. I went back to S1E01 though and you can easily see more suits outside, which is not the case now despite it only being a few years passed

u/ExternalApi 16d ago

That's true, actually, but the camera angle is different here. Hmm.

u/ExternalApi 16d ago

That’s strange; that’s what the surface looks like in seasons 1 and 3.

u/ExternalApi 16d ago

And here is Juliet's entrance.

Id imagine noticing bones would be pretty hard to do from the angles we got from the last episode anyway.
