So I have one observation about the ending:
Spoiler alert if you haven't seen it yet
I have seen a good amount of discussion on what is going on here, and agree with a lot of it, but there is one detail I haven’t seen anyone mention (and maybe I missed it somehow) but when she goes out to clean the bodies of the sheriff and his wife don’t appear to be out there, but they do show up in the silo feed. Is this just because of what she is seeing in her helmet or are the bodies gone? How true is the feed from the the silo?

The bodies are definitely still there. I don’t know how the technology is supposed to work, but the inside of the helmet is a display that is fake. If you notice the video that is being played when they all go out to clean is identical. The same birds flying in the same spot etc… Nobody in the Silo understands what a digital video is which is why this display is so convincing to them that what they see has to be real.
Juliet was able to see through this and knew where Holston’s body was supposed to be which is how she could feel around for his leg and then put his badge on his body.
I totally missed that!
I somehow I didn’t realize that she was putting the badge on his body. I thought she just set it down where she remembered him being as like a marker and to test how the display would behave. Now I need to go back again.
