The Chase That Changed Fast & Furious Forever

“We don’t sneak,” mutters Dominic Toretto, in 2011’s Fast Five. And sneak, Dom’s crew do not. The Fast & Furious way of stealing a gangster’s fortune from a police vault isn’t hacking cameras and waltzing past security in stolen uniforms, but having Dwayne Johnson ram an armored SUV through the wall.

For the next 12 minutes of sustained tension, 2011’s Fast Five drifts into the annals of cinematic immortality all while dragging the unbearable weight of a franchise’s massive reputation into its future. From here, Fast & Furious changes gears to ceaselessly challenge itself, often multiplying the scope, scale, and spectacle of similar climaxes; three movies later, Dwayne Johnson hand-delivers a torpedo while skating on ice in the Arctic, and two movies later, they’re in space. But Fast & Furious has never quite matched the excitement and craftsmanship on display in the final minutes of Fast Five, which grazes the line separating fiction and genuine danger.

‘Silo’ Signals an Exciting Change in TV

There’s an art to a good pilot episode. With a sci-fi series pilot, it’s an even finer art. In less than an hour, the episode has to establish the rules of the world where the story takes place, the inciting incident of the series as a whole, and any pertinent characters. It’s a tall order in any medium, but on Apple TV+, a streamer that has told directors that “if something doesn’t happen in the first 30 seconds ... people will just turn off,” it’s even more difficult.

But Silo, now streaming on Apple TV+, somehow took a completely new and original dystopia and established everything a viewer would need to know in one episode. Though the script for the episode was near-flawless, the true reason Silo’s pilot episode is so enthralling goes even deeper: the show’s very rare form of source material.
