Hard disagree. They kept my interest with not a lot actually going on. I will say that Silo is absolutely not a second screen show. If you don’t pay attention to it you’ll miss a lot and not get sucked in.
For us very “mature” viewers, i wouldnt even consider this a trip back in time. It just seems normal to me!
1950s/1960s, here I come!
My thinking on this: not having Juliette in S2E2 amps up the tension, for a full episode, as to what's happening to her in the other silo with the recluse (so, amplifying the unknown/mystery), while also allowing more focus on the relationship between Mayor Bernard Holland and Judge Meadows, to reveal they have a more complex history between them than might have been implied before, which may include having some knowledge about the Silo's purpose and its builders, as well as possibly already knowing that there's more than one silo, before Juliette's helmet cam showed them.
But would you rather receive some episodes now before January 2025 when the last episode is released
Waiting is a very reasonable thing to do, but I’m not sure I’d say it’s fair to say you’re being strung along. Perhaps if the episodes were unavailable after a few weeks, but you’ve identified the flexibility in streaming: watch now or wait.

Maybe those flashbacks will inform events later in the season.
Remember the Silo TV series is based on a book trilogy, and that the second book in the series, "Shift", largely covers events in the silo prior to the events shown in Silo season 1, in order to explain why the silos are run the way they are, including why the specific silo depicted in season 1 (and possibly the other silos too) instituted a crackdown, after the rebellions, on "artifacts" produced in the outside world prior to the silo system. So it makes sense to include, in the TV series, scenes from the silo's earlier days.
