Is The Pacific redeemable at all? I get the impression it would be better just to skip it completely, which I am fine with, I just thought it was sort of a companion piece to Band of Brothers.

I actually really enjoyed the Pacific, but riding on the name 'Band of Brothers' was a HUGE ask. If thats what you're expecting, you're not going to get it.
Its still a very enjoyable show.

If you thought this season would have a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention.
Everyone stopped talking about Silo after the first few episodes. I really, really like it. My one complaint is that due to the visual constraints of eveything taking place in the silo, I get "scene fatigue" of every scene being in a gloomy, dark, grey-ish, similar setting.

I enjoy it, but there needs to be an injection of action or a something that really pushes the plot forward.
At the current pacing/story I feel like there is just a little something missing.

Solar Opposites, after some tumbles in S1, is actually really really good. You can tell that Roiland never even stepped into the writers room on this one.

Pretty much this. Band of Brothers was one of the best series of all time. I still really enjoyed The Pacific.
Are there any TV shows or movies that you’d need to watch before starting Secret Invasion?
Hmm, as far as I know - based on the previews - you may only need to watch Captain Marvel. There are some small scenes scattered throughout other films/series, including some post-credits scenes that strengthen the background.
However, I would expect the series to help get you caught up apart from the bulk of the Skrull's existence in the MCU coming from Captain Marvel. And the movie has some fun 90s nostalgia.

I'm enjoying Silo and looking forward to see where it is going, so not to bad mouth the acting, writing, story... at all, but 10 years ago Silo would have been a perfectly serviceable 2 hour movie, another take on the parable of the cave, with an ending and no prospect of a follow up. Now it is 10 hours with a cliff hanger, and a follow up season already in development.
I think we all grew up in a world where story stories moved faster and faster, where the average time between cuts in a film fell from 13 seconds at it's inception to 4 seconds in the 2000s, and stories similarly followed that pace. As audiences became more aware of the tropes and expectations in the genre of movie they were watching, directors became more efficient at movie movies to where we were looking.
Now the impetus has become to stretch IP for every second of content, and the directors are trying to maintain that efficient level of visual story telling, you end up with these meandering storylines where the characters and cameras move in a modern fashion, landing on a bunch of short diversions and reaction shots that add nothing to the story except to stretch it for content hours.

I’m not even sure what you mean by ‘turning’ in this context

It has been a few weeks now, but the explanation, or lack thereof, of why Natalie finally joined in on the hunting game made no sense/wasn't believable to me.
