La Brea is a sci-fi survival story set at the La Brea Tar Pits in Los Angeles. The series follows a sinkhole that swallows hundreds of people, buildings, and automobiles. Nope. The sinkhole leads to another universe, not our barbaric past. The event separates the Harris family and many other survivors, who first survive in this alien world and then find a way home. This odd group sticks together to endure the prehistoric world’s dangers. In the first season, characters explore and realize they arrived in 10,000 BC.
La Brea Season 2 Episode 1 “The Next Day” Continues in the year 10,000 B.C.
Some Harris family members end Season 1 in different timelines. Josh lands in 1988, while Gavin and Izzy are in prehistoric Seattle. La Brea is a family adventure story with time travel, primitive earth, and odd events, but with a dash of dread. After La Brea’s Season 1 conclusion, Silas (Mark Lee), a mysterious old man, became the center of one of the show’s biggest mysteries. Throughout the season, the figure was the focus of a lot of controversies (and many more questions), leading many fans to speculate as to whether he was a foe or fighting for something far greater than we could have imagined. tvacute.com summarise what we know about him.
NBC’s La Brea; Who is Silas?
Who Silas is in reality is always changing. Although the enigmatic elderly man prefers to keep his name a secret, we do know a few things about him. He was discovered to be Isiah and Gavin’s grandfather, and the two had traveled to 10,000 B.C. without Isiah’s parents, who they claim passed away when the child was a newborn. Since then, they have coexisted with the Tongva, awaiting the arrival of the Sky People via the La Brea sinkhole. Aldridge tells us later that she and Silas were top scientists involved in the formation of the sinkhole and were formerly colleagues. To offer Lilly, Dr. Rebecca Aldridge (Ming-Zhu Hii) even took Silas’ atlas of California’s sinkholes (a.k.a young Ella).
Rebecca mentioned Silas as another scientist whose research contributed to the sinkholes and claimed to know him. She actually took the map from Lilly’s notebook that she had given to her. Paara stated that he and Isiah had only lately arrived in her community. She is unaware of Silas’ true past, however, as he informed her that Isiah’s parents perished on the journey and that he and his family were swept into a sinkhole. Given that this is a time travel program, my sci-fi intuition has me thinking that Silas might simply be a very mature Gavin, which would suggest that he somehow shielded a version of himself from his younger years for a number of years.
What transpired in the La Brea Season 1 finale to Silas?
By the conclusion of the first season, Silas was prepared to use any measure to stop Isiah from using the link to travel to 1988. Even his great-grandchildren Josh and Izzy were on the line for him. Additionally, Marybeth was killed by his soldiers as they fought for Isiah. But in the end, it was all for naught because he had to witness Isiah’s eventual passage through the Topanga portal. Does Silas in any way have the answers to La Brea’s time travel puzzles?
What will store for Silas in La Brea Season 2?
The good news is that Season 2 will provide answers to many of the issues surrounding Silas, according to the series creator and co-showrunner David Appelbaum, who spoke to TV Line. “One of the things this show does well is we give the audience answers—we’ve been doing that all season,” he said last November following the finale. “But there’s only so far we want to push that, and we do want to leave things in question and open to be answered in Season 2. But yes, we’re going to learn more about what his connection to Gavin and to Aldridge is. He’ll be an important part of the story moving ahead.”
