SEVERANCE

[PoorAndDangerous]

Huang is a part of a mentorship program that lumon runs, it's heavily hinted that Corbel went through the same program. Milkshake refers to it in the episode

Might just be my high ass jumping to conclusions but the idea hit me while watching the newest episode.

I stand by it though

The Wire, Mad Men, Sopranos, Severance, Barry - Television

Power, Suits, Scandal, House of Lies - TV

Not to say TV can’t be enjoyable but I’m selective about my small screen time. Live sports and top tier television only.

I'm with you dog...

I don't think so. I think they were just the perfect age with the perfect issues with the ability to be susceptible to coercion. Gemma was desperate and Mark was at the end of his rope. So Lumon comes in with some answer for Gemma and next thing you know she's locked on the testing floor for years. I think Lumon became aware of them in the fertility clinic. Which is why Gemma's room on the testing floor is laid out almost exactly the same as that.

No I mean from the very beginning, where they first met donating blood.

I'm aware. And I still don't think so. The emotional toil of Mark trying to get her back would lose some of it's meaning if it was also some ruse by Lumon. There has to be room for genuine connection. This is why Helly's character is so important. If Gemma's relationship with Mark was just a ruse then it makes Innie Mark's relationship with Helly hold no narrative weight.

Eventually Outie Mark and Innie Mark have to make a decision on what they are doing in terms of Gemma and Helly. That decision is made way too easy if Gemma/Mark is all manufactured.

spoilers ... for fans .

The Severance chips are like a "10,000 years too early" version of the Altered Carbon STACKS technology.

Wonder if they used the info from Helena’s experience to refine Cold Harbor

Could legit make a compilation of Cobel’s thousand yard stares in that car of hers at this point.

 

[Formerly Black Trash]

First 10 minutes wtf is this?!

 

[Json]

Yo.

Thats why she was the first to recognize signs of reintegration and the board said it wasn’t possible.


also, that would explain why there was such an emphasis on removing people from experiencing pain.

 

[Lootpack]

Wasn’t feeling this one. I’ll probably appreciate it more on a binge. A bulk of the episode felt more like Midnight Mass than Severance, but glad it managed to tie things into the main plot with that revelation.

 

[Kang Deezy]

What was the point of that episode?

I’m looking at Cobel going to work with that drill on Petey in a whole new light now. I was not familiar with her game.
